"I'm tired of being a wannabe league bowler. I wanna be a league bowler!"

Simpsons Top 100 Countdown
#26 Team Homer
Season 7, Episode 12 (Guide from the Simpsons Archive)

In an effort to avoid spending time with his family, Homer goes with Moe to a bowling alley. Running into that frustration that we all know known as league night, they form a ragtag team with Apu and Otto. To get the money for the entrance fee, Homer hits up Mr. Burns, who is high on ether at the time. When Burns is reviewing finances in a more mentally fit state, he is outraged, but when confronting Homer, he has a change of heart and joins the team instead (kicking Otto off it). Despite Burns’s horrible play, they manage to win the league championship, at which point Burns steals the trophy and bids them all farewell. Memorable moments include drunken Kennedys – er, I mean, Quimbys, desperation to avoid home life, dirt, forming the team, initial efforts to raise funds, ether-induced hallucinations, opposing teams, cheers, beer, revealing the secret of success to Marge, reviewing financial matters, confrontation, Burns’s “strike”, poor bowling by Burns, leprosy, team shirts, the claw machine, going Tonya Harding on Mr. Burns, change of heart part 2, and hopping the fence.
