what i liked- homer and barney's rivalry, homer's mr. plow song, the end of the episode, all the snow melting abruptly, barney as the baby in the diaper (and him losing it and then saying 'hi ma!'), adam west's appearance was funny, "the waiting game sucks, who wants to play hungry, hungry hippos", amongst other things.
classic simpsons episode. full of laughs and a great plot in which barney and homer have a fight. i love this episode a lot, and it is one of those where it doesn't matter how many times i have seen it, it is still funny. A+moreless
At the local auto show, Homer is pressured into buying a snow plow truck and he starts up a surprisingly successful business as "Mr. Plow." Things go well for Homer until Barney starts his own slow plow business and steals all of Homer's customers.

ALLUSIONS (9)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Citizen Kane
The snow dome being crushed in the Mr. Plow commercial is inspired by the snow dome being crushed in the classic 1941 film Citizen Kane. -
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
The snowmen melt very similar to the Germans in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. -
Bonnie And Clyde
Bart plays in a car said to be the one Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were riding in the day they were killed in a police ambush. The car is taken from the film Bonnie And Clyde. -
Agency: McMahon & Tate Advertising Agency
The name of the ad agency – which Homer hires to produce better commercials after the Plow King goes into business – is a play on the name of the McMann and Tate Advertising Agency seen on Bewitched. -
Homer: Yeah, they were gay.
Homer tells the repo man on the phone that he is not Mr. Plow; he is Tony Plow from Leave It To Beaver. The actor's name is actually Tony Dow. -
The Godfather
Homer's clearing of the road after a blizzard to allow Springfield Elementary School to have classes as usual (on what would have otherwise been a snow day), and Bart getting ambushed by a rain of snowballs from angry and disgusted classmates after getting off the school bus, parodies gunfight scene from the film The Godfather. -
Homer: I'm Mr. Plow, that's the name. That name again is Mr. Plow!
The lyrics and tune directly spoof Roto-Rooter, the plumbing and drain service company. -
Brockman: The Plow King is trapped!
Kent Brockman's "special bulletin" about the avalanche copies Walter Cronkite's announcement of President Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22, 1963. Apparently, Barney's "Plow King" had become a major celebrity in Springfield! -
Show: Carnival of the Stars
This Troy McClure-hosted circus special, with Springfield celebrities performing various circus stunts, is a parody of the Circus Of The Stars television specials.
