"King of the Hill" is the twenty-third episode of the ninth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.
[2] The episode sees Homer trying to climb a large mountain to impress Bart after he humiliates him at a church picnic with his lack of fitness.
After his obesity embarrasses Bart at a church picnic, Homer attempts to lose weight by going on midnight jogs around town.
At the gym, two Power Sauce representatives, Brad and Neil, ask Wolfcastle to climb to the top of Springfield's tallest mountain, "The Murderhorn", as a publicity stunt.
Homer radios this to Brad and Neil, who fail to convince him to abandon the climb, even informing him that Power Sauce bars are actually junk food.
[3] The idea of the upper part of the mountain collapsing so Homer would be at the peak came from Mike Scully's brother Brian, after the staff "desperately needed a way out".
