-As [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] are making out on the hammock in the back yard, a meteorite starts falling towards them, burning through Marge's hair. It lands in the back yard and hatches to reveal [[Space Marshmallow|a ball of strange, alien goo]]. Homer decides to eat the "space marshmallow" and after some difficulty, he keeps it down. That night, Homer starts sleepwalking and ends up eating through all the food in the kitchen. When [[Bart]] comes in to see what was happening, Homer tries to eat him too. Marge stops Homer from doing so and finds out that Homer has also eaten [[Snowball II|the cat]].

 Homer leaves the house in search of more food and finds a group of teenagers partying on the beach. After they have a hot sauce fight, Homer starts eating them. As Homer continues eating, he gets bigger and fatter. He then goes to an [[Oktoberfest]] celebration and eats everyone there. Homer then starts going around town eating everyone while "[[Baby Likes Fat]]" plays. On [[Channel 6 News|the news]], [[Kent Brockman]] reports on Homer's rampage, showing that he has become huge and green. The rest of the Simpson family goes to Homer to stop him, getting help from {{Ch|Dr. Phil}}. However, Homer also eats Dr. Phil before he admits he has a problem. He tells Marge that he wants his problem to become a positive for the community, so [[Mayor Quimby]] opens up a homeless shelter, with Homer on the other side of the door. As the homeless people go through the door, they are eaten by the gelatinous Homer.

-During a recording of ''{{Krusty show}}'', [[Krusty]] announces that the show will be broadcast in HDTV. After the recording is finished, [[Bart]] tells [[Milhouse]] that he's going to stay behind to complain to Krusty about his [[Krusty Brand Alarm Clock]] which sprays acid. Backstage, Bart finds Krusty's prop room and sees a [[Male Golem|Golem]]. Krusty finds Bart and explains that the Golem was created in [[Prague]] in the 1600s by a rabbi. The golem would then do whatever tasks were written on scrolls and inserted into its mouth. Eventually, the Golem ended up in Krusty's possession, where he used it to kill audience members who thought his jokes sucked. After telling the story, Krusty leaves and Bart put a scroll into its mouth telling it to come to his room at midnight.

The Golem does as its ordered, and Bart takes the Golem with him to school the next day, ordering it to attack the bullies. [[Lisa]] realizes what Bart has done and puts a scroll in the Golem's mouth, telling it to speak. The Golem starts speaking and is horrified by the people he's killed and hurt. After using the Golem to kill [[Skinner]], the Simpsons discuss him and decide that he needs to have a relationship with someone.

While Homer doesn't like his creation and wants to kill her, the Male Golem falls in love and decides to get married to her, with [[Rabbi Krustofsky]] officiating the ceremony. The police show up at the wedding to arrest the Golem, but are persuaded to drop the charges with a free latke bar.

-In 1938 [[Springfield]], during the {{W|Great Depression}}, the people of Springfield line up to receive bread from [[The Salvation Army]]. At home, as Homer and Marge are dancing to the radio, a broadcast starts announcing that alien cylinders from [[Mars]] have started landing around the country. [[Orson Welles]] then starts describing the invasion in more detail, causing panic and riots in Springfield. This all turns out to be a broadcast of ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'', which was intended to lift spirits. However, the Springfield citizens keep rioting, not realizing it was a work of fiction. Eventually, Marge comes up with an idea and has everyone pretend to be animals as the aliens were only killing humans. The townspeople strip naked and wallow in filth, making animal noises until the next day when Lisa reveals that the radio broadcast was a hoax.

-After finding out it was a hoax, the people of Springfield decide to go back to their normal lives. However, [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] choose that moment to invade the town, knowing that the people would just think it was another hoax. Orson Welles shows up in town to tell [[Chief Wiggum]] to call the military, but Wiggum doesn't believe him. Kang and Kodos then come down in their [[UFO]] and kill Wiggum, draining his body. Three years later, the town is a wasteland. Kang and Kodos argue because they thought they would be greeted as liberators. Kang says that they are starting to think that Operation: Enduring Occupation was a bad idea, and Kodos says that they had to invade as the people of Earth were working on weapons of mass disintegration.
