I Am Furious (Yellow) - Plot

Plot

Milhouse's father, Kirk, gives a speech to the kids at Springfield Elementary about his occupation of assistant flyer distributor. Due to how boring the speech was, Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel take Lisa's advice and visit the Springfield Writer's Forum to find a better speaker. They find Jeff Jenkins, creator of a popular TV cartoon, Danger Dog. He comes to the school to give a presentation on Danger Dog, including showing them a sneak preview for the next Easter special, and fascinates the kids by telling them about the cartoon industry. Much to Skinner's horror, Jenkins tells the students how easy his job is and how he never needed to work hard to get his job. Later, every kid in school creates their own comic book, all of which are actually rip-off versions of Danger Dog. Bart also creates his own comic Danger Dude (which is actually a dog) and tries to sell it to Comic Book Guy, who criticizes his work. Stan Lee enters Comic Book Guy's store and tells Bart that his comic is bad, but that he should keep trying to "find his own voice."

At home, Bart comes up with a character called Angry Dad, based on the frequent angry outbursts of his father, Homer. Bart rolls out the first issue of Angry Dad, which becomes a hit with the kids in school. However having read the first issue, Lisa hates it and confronts him for his obvious plagiarism. She thinks it is very insulting to their father on all aspects. Bart responds by deciding to make a sidekick for Angry Dad: a character named Know-it-All Sister based on Lisa and her intelligence. Soon, Lisa relents as long she gets a pony and the last line of the comic, allowing Bart to make more issues of Angry Dad. Upon reading the comics of Angry Dad, Comic Book Guy finds them very impressive and agrees to sell them, much to Bart's delight.

During an autograph signing session in the schoolyard, Bart is approached by a spokesman for an Internet entertainment site. He wants to make Angry Dad into an online animated cartoon series, and Bart agrees in exchange for stock. The cartoon becomes an Internet hit, becoming the single most popular non-pornographic website of all time. The only one still unaware of Angry Dad is Homer, who finds out one day at work. At first, Homer finds it very funny, but learns that he looks exactly like Angry Dad and that Bart is the one who created it. He becomes a laughingstock both on the web and in Springfield. While driving home, the humiliated Homer is stopped by the town who does what they can to make him all the more angrier, resulting his hand getting stuck in one of the car door, giving him pain. As a result, the townspeople laugh more as the humiliated Homer runs home. Once he does so, the furious Homer finds Bart and Milhouse laughing at another Angry Dad cartoon and strangles Bart for the humiliation the town has given to him through his cartoons. Eventually, Marge and Lisa stops Homer and calms him down. Though Lisa admits while she's not a fan of Bart's comic, she tells him to address his anger management issues. Homer agrees to suppress his anger from that point on. When Marge insists on him going on a diet as well, he refuses and tells her that he's only giving up on anger, not his favorite foods.

The next day, Homer stays true to his word and remains calm, despite having difficulty maintaining it, as it is evident that whenever aggravating situations occur, Homer tries to suppress his rage, causing lumps to grow on his neck. However, his new calm demeanor has taken away Bart's inspiration for his cartoon, so Bart and Milhouse set up a prank for Homer to trigger another outburst. Later, they go to the Internet company office, where they find the company has gone bankrupt due to all the stock given away. Homer reaches home and happens upon Bart's trap, but he keeps his calm throughout its run, causing more lumps to develop on his neck. The trap ends with Homer falling into a pool full of green paint, finally prompting him to go berserk and storm through town, causing much damage. The police restrain him and Homer is admitted to the hospital.

At the hospital, Marge is angry at Bart for aggravating Homer's rage with his prank because of the 10 million dollars in damages Homer has caused with his rage and swears that she will punish him for it. However, Dr. Hibbert arrives and disagrees by telling her that Bart actually saved Homer's life by enraging him. He explains the lumps on his neck were actually boils caused by suppressed rage and would have otherwise overwhelmed his nervous system if Bart's prank had not set him off. Hibbert convinces Marge that she should go easy on her son. Homer thanks Bart by taking him fishing, where he continues to make his father angry, though this time, Homer tries to control it for good.
