Coming up on Undercover CEO,
Krusty the clown learns what it's like to work for himself.
Pass.
There comes a time in everyone's life
when you need a little extra help
getting up from your chair.
That's why we invented the Seat-to-Feet Lift Chair,
which makes getting up by yourself...
A thing of the past?
...a thing of the past!
Whoo-hoo!
Wha...? He's... he's up!
He's up.
Eleventy-hundred?
I can't afford that.
But that chair would be a lot better
than the way I get up now.
Come on...
Yeah!
Magic Club!
Join the Magic Club!
Want to cut up a banana without peeling it?
Join and...
I'll tell you how.
It's with a needle and thread!
I like magic!
I'm going to take one of your cards.
Or did I take 52?
Do you want to join?
You could be president!
Just man the booth.
I need to go to the bathroom.
I'd love to join.
Honestly, this is the only booth that doesn't creep me out.
Hug me! Hug me!
Hug me!
I'm Harper. Just moved here.
Trying to make friends.
Lisa. Always been here.
Trying to make friends.
Well, I've got news for all of your clubs:
it's 3:00 p.m., so Willie's turnin' on the sprinklers!
Guys,
I need your advice.
Season three of anything is the best.
Agreed.
But I wanted advice for something else.
It's something I really need for my well-being,
but I just don't have the bucks.
The thing everyone's doing these days,
uh, by which I mean a couple of years ago,
is to get money through crowdfunding.
You thought about that?
Yes, but what is it?
Crowdfunding is when lots of people
give you small amounts of money
to help your passion project come to life.
Thanks to crowdfunding, we have Makey Makey computers,
the 3Doodler pen,
and Zach Braff's generation-defining dud
"Wish I Was Here."
Well, if there's anything
that has true wisdom, it's crowds.
Hmm.
Hello, friends.
Are you sick of "Big Charity" asking you for money,
with its free return envelopes
and annoying black tie dinners?
Well, I'm here to ask you
for something different.
Something simple.
You can help a man get back on his feet.
Dad, what are you recording?
Ooh, Lisa.
Turn to camera and quickly say "please give."
Please give.
Give what?
Uh, Lisa... eh, well, we'll fix that in post.
He didn't even have the money to fix that in post.
That is the saddest thing I've ever seen.
Well, I suppose I could spare a little
for my neighboreeno.
Will you shut up, Flanders?!
Lip zipped.
I don't give handouts
to poor people.
It's not in the spirit of self-made Americanism,
as espoused by Russian weirdo Ayn Rand.
Dang it!
We did it, friends.
Made our goal.
And now, to reveal the miracle
that you all made happen...
That's right.
You bought me this chair.
My ass was just lifted
by a thousand angels.
We bought him a chair?
That lazy lump!
After I finish this beer and have a nap,
I may just call him.
You gave money to this idiot?
It was from my separate bank account.
What separate account?
Uh... I only use it to pay for my separate phone.
You have a separate phone?
Um... um... uh...
Up, down,
up, down.
Up, down...
up, down.
Good!
You feel the burning in your core?
Oh, yes, I do.
Mmm.
Homie, answer the door!
For the first time in my life,
I'd be happy to!
Spend my money on a chair, sir?
You're a lazy, bald monster.
Don't be alarmed, there, Homer.
We're just gonna calmly and gently
destroy that chair!
No way.
My chair is now protected by a human shield.
Take that, you idiot!
Lisa...
the crowdfunding video you costarred in
is causing a lot of problems.
The what-what I what-whatted in?
Burn that chair!
Wait a minute.
That's not the chair.
What? Oh. Oh.
No tip!
Guess a guy like me
is never gonna get the finer things in life.
What's the point?
Aw, you poor thing.
I've never seen you this unhappy lying down.
Dad?
Can you take me to a concert with my new friend Harper?
Her dad got us the seats.
Sure, why not?
It'll be nosebleed or obstructed view seats.
That's all a self-pitying guy like me ever gets.
Who's the band?
They're an adorable Australian boy band,
and you can't really understand what they're saying.
But who cares?
I understand.
That's how I felt about Crocodile Dundee.
I will never forgive you
for making us see that third movie.

Ooh.

Whoa!
The only platinum band I have

Um, through that door.
Remember when we were A-list?
It all went south for me when I got that D.U.I.

Doe-eyed Boys!

Maybe one of these four little wimps will tell me.
Answer me, wimps!
That's them.
The band.
Hi. I'm Bindi,
and this is Boz, McQuarrie and Wodonga.
Wodonga.
I'm afraid you don't belong here.
Your wristbands are platinum with stripes.
You belong...

no stripes.

This is like being from North Korea

Homer, a toast to two single dads doing their best.
I'm not a single dad.
Well, this will just be a toast to me, then.
Ooh, whoa, are you okay?
Be careful.
I love you.
I'm great!
When I'm happy, I make holes.
And when I'm sad, I buy a hockey team.
They cost like nothing, man.

Bam-bam-bam!
You try. Whoo-hoo!
Bam!
Did I make $80 million?
No, but you made a fool of the doctor who said you'd die.
Well, he still might!
Not today.
Wow, Mike's daughter seems really great.
Yeah, but it was weird.
First she was nice to me,
but then when the band came, she wouldn't let me say a word.
Uh, listen, sweetie.
Let me tell you a fact of life.
The world is full of wonderful, priceless experiences,
and I can't give you any of them.
But this girl can.
So it doesn't matter if she talks to you,
looks at you
or is disrespectful to your father.
She is your best friend.
Mm, I don't know.
Huh, Harper just invited us to go see David Copperfield.
Oh, my God!
That's something only tourists in Vegas get to do!
Did you ever sit in the back of anything?
Just the space shuttle, man.
My one regret is I was too drunk to drive.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, bam!
Bam on that one.
Okay, ladies, would each of you tell me
your favorite TV show and dessert.
Certainly, my favorites are The Happy Little Elves...
Krusty and cotton candy.
I was gonna say what my...
Sorry, that's too long without me talking.
So what do I do now?!
Don't worry. Harper?
What's your favorite starving wild animal?
Crocodile?
What's the trick here?!
I'm so happy.
Marge, do you know what it's like
to have a man take care of your every need?
I've thought about it a lot, but no.
How come you're so quiet?
Did he switch your brain with a rabbit's?
'Cause that means somewhere there is one annoying rabbit.
Shut up.
I just keep thinking about the way Harper cut me off.
It's kind of weird.
Yeah, that was kind of weird.
I'd have said something for sure,
but my mouth was full of truffle popcorn.
Mike just invited our family
to spend next week on their private island!
Wow, a whole week.
Too bad the kids have school.
Marge, please.
Lisa's not gonna fall behind
and Bart's not gonna catch up.
We do not want our kids spoiled.
Yeah, okay.
Maybe this is where this thing should stop.
Hello?
This is Principal Seymour Skinner.
We're calling parents, starting with you,
to let them know that school has been canceled next week.
Hmm, did that rich dad buy you off?
Seymour Skinner is not for sale.
The bread is in the oven.
Lisa, Lisa, wait!
I'm so glad you guys are coming with us.
So...
I got you a friendship present.
A new bike?
Uh, that's so nice of you.
35 gears, Tiffany crystal bell.
And the latest anti-theft device.
You're not Lisa Simpson.
Okay, what's the story?
This we show up for.
Harper, this bike is wonderful.
Too wonderful.
It just wouldn't be right for me to accept it.
You'd rather have your crappy bike?
Look, Harper, this may be crappy, but it's my bike.
My dad assembled it on Christmas day.
Which is why I have to pedal backwards to go forwards.
But still, I love this!
Uh, I didn't realize getting you the best bike
you ever saw would make you so mad.
I'm not mad, I just think this is...
Just what?
Don't appreciate what I did for you?
Why do you always interrupt me like that?
That's not how friends... Uh, I think I know how friends are.
How would you like it if I interrupted you all the time?
I could've been friends with anybody--
Janey, Sherri, Terri, You wouldn't like it all, would you?
Hubert Wong, Wendy Wang. No, you wouldn't.
Interrupt, interrupt, interrupt, interrupt! That girl with freckles
only on one side of her face.
Could you please, just for once, not interrupt me?!
Whoa, sweet bike.
You can have it!
Even sweeter.
As soon as I put some training wheels on this,
I'll be the coolest kid ever.
Oh! Too fast!
You can put that stuff away, 'cause the trip is off.
Well, where are we going with Harper?
Nowhere, 'cause we're not friends anymore.
