Stop Saying That! / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons loves this: In "Dumbbell Indemnity", Homer gets jailed for a quasi-botched attempt at stealing and destroying Moe's car so he can collect his insurance coverage to pay for his romantic interludes with his love interest Renee. Homer overhears Moe speaking about Hawaii, and begins asking about Hawaii, leading to Chief Wiggum's memorable reaction. "Bart's Girlfriend" has Bart trying to impress Reverend and Helen Lovejoy when he's invited to dinner by their daughter Jessica. But it goes very wrong: Also from season 6 is "Homer Badman", where, at the candy convention, Homer sees the stunning candy which will eventually get him in big trouble: "Lard of the Dance", Lisa and her friends are with a more teenage-minded girl: During "Love, Springfieldian Style": From "The Blunder Years":
