    what i liked- the ending (when i first saw this, i was confused and thought there was a part 2...), Ernest Borgnine's appearance, Bart and Milhouse singing about how great Springfield is, Milhouse apparently having shaved a bad word in his hair, "Godspeed, little doodle", Bartbeing in junior campers because he did not want to take the test in class, etc.
    great episode. tons of humorous parts and Ernest Borgnine was terrific guest star, even if he did not have many lines. A+ episode, no doubt in my mindmoreless

    This is one of my favorites of the season. Homer was a complete jerk during the entire episode, which for once was funny. Some of the funniest parts were when he lost the peanut and found the twenty dollars and said that twenty dollars can be used to buy many peanuts. Another funny part was when he did the whole leader of the weiner patrol thing. Overall, I think this was a really good episode. 10/10moreless

    In this episode, Bart goes a sugar rush, and has a subsequent hangover-like headache the next day (like alcohol!?) and discovers in terror, that he joined the Junior Campers! At first he's reluctant to the idea, but he warms up to it when he's able to use a pocket knife. But then, there's the father-son rafting trip, and Bart is scared Homer will screw it up. This episode had so many great moments like, Dr.Hibbert saving the man from a blown up appendix, the pocket knife burning up the raft rather than popping it, and the "10 do's and 500 don't's of Pocket Knives", bu the best had to be Homer's convo with his brain about the use of money. Overall, a perfect, funny hilarious episode all the waymoreless

    Bart accidently joins the Junior Campers because he was on an all night squisie bender. He thinks it's too lame till he gets to handel a pocket knife and learn how to trap wild animals (And by wild animals I mean Homer). They soon get lost durning a father-son rafting trip, and the part where they're out at sea is just one of the best moments of this episode. Homer ruins everything (Of course), but comes to the rescue when he smells Krusty Burgers at an off shore Krusty Burger. In the end, Bart and the rest chose the right path for the rest of the Junior Campers get caught in a Friday the 13th camp.moreless

    • Six Million Dollar Man The scene with Apu making the Super Squishee parodies the 1974 film, Six Million Dollar Man. Edit
    • Homer: Water, water, every where, so let's all have a drink. This is a reference to the famous epic poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." The actual line, which is possibly the most famous line in English literature, "Water, water, every where, nor any drop to drink." Edit
    • Good Morning, Vietnam In the 1987 movie Good Morning, Vietnam, Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) meets a soldier from New York and jokes that the guy became intoxicated, went to get a tattoo and next thing he knew he was in the Army. This scenario is very similar to what happens to Bart, except for a few minor details -- the city is a parody of New York, the tattoo was a rub-on, and the intoxicating agent was sugar instead of alcohol. Also Bart joined a Scout-type group instead of the Army. Edit
