Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em

"Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em"[1] is the third episode of the eighteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

[1] In this episode, Marge learns carpentry, but uses Homer as a front when she wants to make money off her talents since no one in Springfield believes that women can be carpenters.

[2] On a trip to the extremely rundown Springfield Mall, Homer happens across the Time–Life Carpenter's Library, and Marge encourages him to buy them.

However, potential clients Superintendent Chalmers and Krusty the Clown turn her down, dismissing the idea of a female carpenter.

Though business is going great, Marge becomes discouraged by Helen Lovejoy and Lindsay Naegle, who taunt her for being Homer's "helper".

Still not wanting to admit the truth, Homer attempts to prove the coaster is safe by riding it himself, even though there are large gaps in the track.

With this newfound knowledge, Bart forces Skinner to publicly humiliate and injure himself by threatening him with a peanut on a stick.

In the "Captain Blip's Zapateria" full of fictitious arcade classics of the golden age, features a cabinet marked Polybius - an urban legend supposedly constructed as an experimental game-machine unit by the U.S. government[3] - and a game based on Remington Steele, a TV show with the similar premise of a female professional hiring a male front to overcome prejudice.

[2] Dan Iverson of IGN calls it a brilliant episode; despite the fact the Simpsons have tunneled down a similar storyline, he quotes they've done better in making this plot unique.
