"[W]hat would happen if E.T. and Mr. T had a baby? ... I think he'd sound a little something like this: 'I pity the fool who doesn't phone home.'"

Simpsons Top 100 Countdown
#43 Homer Badman
Season 6, Episode 9 (Guide from the Simpsons Archive)

After going to a candy convention (and smuggling out copious amounts of candy), Homer drives the babysitter home and discovers a gummi stuck to the seat of her pants. He grabs it, but she interprets it as a grab at her butt and accuses him of sexual harassment. The media blows everything out of proportion, disregarding any need for evidence and other such faults of today’s media. Homer is eventually exonerated when it turns out that Groundskeeper Willie has video footage of the event. Memorable moments include Homer opening candy, non-marshmallow cereal pieces, lips, Mr. Goodbar, celery, gummi talk, the escape from the candy convention, Homer’s initial reaction to the charges, Homer exposed, the protesters following Homer to work, the improv, Homer calling out to God, 49-starred flag, old-timey bikes, life under the sea, and, most of all, the send-up of the news media (exaggerations, distortions, wild theories, a complete disregard for substance, et cetera; I’m including the talk shows and made-for-tv-movie in this).
