In a tale neither fit for man nor animal, Homer Simpson becomes televison’s newest reality star as his bottomless appetite and cast iron stomach are put to the test and pushed to the limits week after week on “Man Vs. Best Vs. Food.” Eventually, something’s gotta give, and we’re talking more than a couple belt notches.

The third Simpsons showcase offers a snout full of savory stories. First, Homer opts into Mr. Burns’ “golden parachute” program and soon finds himself and his family living a life that’s less than luxurious on Mr. Burns’ tropical island retirement community, which is made entirely of trash. Then, Bart pits himself against Marge in a battle of wills…specifically, will Bart take a bath or not? Finally, Bartman is up to his elbows in ectoplasm when he gets a helping hand from the hapless ghost of good ol’ salesman Gil. It’s gooey goodness and ghastly gladness that will make you gag galore!
