    The episode begins in the morning with Marge and Homer in the bathroom. Homer tells Marge about the birthday party he attended with his co-workers the night before. The party was for Homer's assistant Eugene Fisk and Homer claims Eugene got drunk and embarrassed himself when he tried hitting on a woman co-worker. Homer steps on the scale and when he sees that he weighs a whopping 239 pounds he vows to start exercising every morning. Cut to Bart reading ads in a magazine, when he sees an ad for a spy camera. He then mails out the ad for the camera along with some money. Flash forward to 6 months later: Homer is in the bathroom and steps on the scale. When he sees he still weighs 239 pounds he once again vows to exercise everyday. Marge steps in and Homer tells her that Friday night he and the boys from work are going to have a bachelor party for Eugene Fisk, who is now Homer's supervisor, and is getting married to the girl he "hit on" from the party 6 months ago. Meanwhile, downstairs the mail arrives along with Bart's spy camera. Bart wanders around the house spying and taking pictures. On Friday, Marge and the kids go to The Rusty Barnacle for dinner, which just so happens to be the same place that the bachelor party is being held. Much to Eugene's disapproval, Homer and the guys get him a scantily clad belly dancer named Princess Kashmir. While the dancer is up on the table she lures Homer up there to dance with her. Meanwhile, after using the bathroom Bart spies on the bachelor party in the room nearby and is surprised to see Homer dancing on the table with the sexy woman. Bart quickly gets out his spy camera and snaps a picture.

    Homer dances with an exotic dancer at a bachelor praty and Bart takes a picture.It spreads all over town and Marge finds out and makes him tkae Bart to find the dancer and apologize.

    I think it is funny how a picture of a woman who isn't even naked spread around town and was such a big deal. It was the opposite of life on the fast lane. The plot wasnt' that good you knew marge would take him back (it is weird how Marge heard his speech how did she get their?). It is one of the worst of the first season. 6.7moreless

    Review for Homer's Night Out:

    From seeing review for this episode people either think it good or think it's one of the worst episodes ever. I for one do not think that I just think it's an average season 1 nothing outstanding nothing bad just average. The plot was some-what good and it was excited that way also. It did not have a huge amount of jokes or a huge amount of emotion. I liked how the photo's spread over Springfield and that Homer was oblivious throughout. So not a bad episode overrall (No where near the worst episode ever) but then again it's nowhere near classic.

    Score for Homer's Night Out: B-, 3.5/5, 7/10, Goodmoreless

    homer is seen dancing with a woman at a party {spy camera picture by bart} and soon all men wanna be homer. but marge is furious at him for what he has done, so homer needs to show he is faithful to his one and only. in the end homer and marge of course, make up {and make out}.

    i don't like this one a whole, it's watchable but i can't escape a feeling that it doesn't feel like the simpsons to me. it just feels... different, and not necessarily in a good way. Overall grade would be a C+moreless

    • Mr. Burns: What in blue blazes do you think you're doing, Simpson?! Homer: What do you mean, sir? Mr. Burns: I mean this! (holds up the picture) (Homer gasps) Mr. Burns: A plant employee carrying on like an over-sexed orangutan in heat! This is a family nuclear power plant, Simpson. Our research indicates that over fifty percent of our power is used by women. (wrinkles up the picture into a ball) I will not have you offending my customers with your bawdy shenanigans! Homer: It won't happen again, sir, I promise! Can I get outta' your sight now? Mr. Burns: Wait a minute, Simpson! Smithers, could you please leave the room? Smithers: Yes, sir. Mr. Burns: (sadly) Simpson... I am, by most measures, a successful man. I have wealth and power beyond the dreams of you and your clock-punching ilk. And yet, I've led a solitary life. The fair sex remains a mystery to me. You seem to have a way with women. A certain, how should I put it?... "Animal magnétisme". (begging) Help me, Simpson. Tell me your secret. Homer: Uh, Mr. Burns, in spite of what everybody thinks, I'm no loverboy. Mr. Burns: (pleasantly) Simpson, I'm asking you nicely. Homer: I don't really know, sir-- Mr. Burns: (angrily) Simpson! Homer: (scared) Well, oh, wine 'em! Dine 'em. Bring them flowers. Write them love poetry... sir. Mr. Burns: Of course! It's simplicity itself! I won't forget this, Simpson. (angrily) Now return to your work! And tell no one of what transpired here. Edit
    • Lisa: (saw Bart trying to take a picture of his butt) Ew, gross. Mom! Bart was taking a picture of his butt! Bart: Oh, sure, like I'm really gonna take a picture of my butt. Edit
    • (In the school photo lab, all the kids gather around Bart's newly developed picture of Homer and Princess Kashmir.) Martin: My goodness. Quite exciting. Girl: Extremely sensual. Boy: The subtle gray tones recall the work of Helmut Newton. Martin: Who's the sexy lady, Bart? Bart: Beats me. But the guy dancin' with her is my pop. Everyone: Wow! Boy: He brings to mind the later work of Diane Arbus. Edit

    • Homer: Homer: Sorry, buddy. You got me confused with Fred Flintstone. Homer's response to Apu's remark, "You look familiar, sir. Are you on the television or something?" is among the first of countless references that would be made to TV's other long-running animated sitcom, The Flintstones. Edit
    • Photographers Helmut Newton and Diane Arbus Both photographers are mentioned by a student, while Bart develops his spy camera photos in the school photo lab. Helmut Newton was an Austrian photographer who specialized in black and white nudes. Many of his works appeared in Vogue magazine, as well as photography books and museums. Diane Arbus is a former fashion photographer whose later works "enjoyed photographing the so-called 'freaks,' transvestites and asylum patients (what Bart's unnamed classmate was referring to when he sees the picture). Edit
    • Close Encounters of the Third Kind "Close Encounters Of The Mud Kind"--the subtitle for Mud City, a strip joint in Springfield--is a play on the 1977 film, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Edit
