    Do you ever think about how disabled people come to see themselves as disabled? Like, it probably isn’t an idea that occurs until after a certain threshold of mistreatment and then it finally makes sense.

    I like that Homer lives in a setting where someone wrote a book and people just have a book to figure it out instead. Is that what this scene even was or was this just a throwaway joke?

      This is from the episode king sized Homer. Where he was looking for ways to qualify as disabled and decided to gain weight to qualify for disability to get out of the power plant’s newly required exercise program. It’s the episode that he wore the moo moo dress.

        Woah, then this probably has something really funny or really dumb to say about it 😅 either way, sounds like a good watch. Thanks for dropping the episode

    Is this an actual screenshot of the show or is it edited? I love it if it’s real.

    Edit: The answer is yes. It’s the episode where he gains a ton of weight to be considered disabled so he can wfh. Classic episode.
