Goo Goo Gai Pan

Lucy Liu guest stars as Madam Wu, and actor Robert Wagner appears as himself.

The original closing credits feature the show's director David Silverman giving viewers a quick lesson on how he draws Bart Simpson.

While giving Mr. Burns a driving test to replace his long-expired license, Selma experiences a hot flash.

The family then spends time touring through several landmarks in China, including visiting the mummified body of Mao Zedong, whom Homer likens to a "little angel who killed 50 million people.

As they are about to leave for Springfield, Wu angrily arrives and takes Ling away, stating that Homer and Selma are not married.

According to the customs of feng shui, the Buddha statue must be taken indoors, so Chinese guards drag him into the nursery (by his nose with a hook).

The Simpsons, Selma and Ling pass through Tiananmen Square, a place where, according to the marker shown in the episode, "nothing happened" in 1989.

After an impassioned speech from Selma and Homer, Wu then agrees to allow Selma to adopt Ling as a single parent—her leniency stemming from the fact that when she herself was just a baby, her father choked to death on a Ping-Pong ball the day before the Heimlich maneuver was invented, and her mother had ultimately raised her as a single parent.

When filling out the forms, Selma is told only married couples are allowed to adopt, so she writes down Homer's name for her husband.

Unfortunately, when they arrive in China for observation, the comedy doesn't really come from the unlikelihood of Homer and Selma as husband and wife, but from numerous random jokes about all things Chinese.

[5] On Four Finger Discount, Guy Davis and Brendan Dando liked the story of Homer helping Selma adopt a baby but also thought the depiction of China used many stereotypes.
