When [[KFI]] got the school, they made kids subliminally work for them, helping them to design the perfect toy. In Bart's class the students collaborated giving lots of ideas for a perfect toy that were later jotted down in the janitor's room. In Lisa's class, the teacher asked the students about a name for a toy and Lisa's option was selected as the one for the perfect toy: Funzo. Lisa discovered it all and told Homer about it, but when Homer, Marge, Lisa and Wiggum went to the school to see if there was a secret room in the janitor's room, there were only janitorial stuff. Funzo toys were later released to the costumers and the toy sold very quickly.

The Funzo toy seemed to have a mind of its own and attempted to kill off all other competition in toys, such as [[Bart]]'s [[Krusty doll]] and [[Lisa]]'s [[Malibu Stacy]] because people did not know that the toy was programmed to destroy other toys that kids got for [[Christmas]]. When Bart and Lisa discovered that, they went to KFI's Headquarters and, after passing through Gary Coleman, they told [[Jim Hope]] and [[Lindsey Naegle]] to reveal the truth about the Funzo toys, but they didn't wanted to do so. As a result, they made up a plan to make sure there wouldn't be a Funzo under any Christmas Tree on Christmas: [[Homer]] went to people's houses to take their Funzo toys dressed up as Santa Claus while Bart and Lisa sang carols to the families.

Mr. Sparkle is a Japanese brand of dish washing and laundry detergent. It is a joint venture between Matsumura Fishworks and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern.

While at the Springfield City Dump, Bart found a box of Mr. Sparkle detergent. He called over Homer and Lisa to look at the box, and they were all shocked that it had a picture of Homer on the front. Homer took the box to Akira at The Happy Sumo, who told Homer that it was Mr. Sparkle, and was surprised to find that the mascot looked like Homer. Homer later called the Mr. Sparkle Factory in Japan to ask why they were using his likeness on the box. He later received a videotape for American investors with a commercial for Mr. Sparkle included. The end of the commercial revealed the truth behind Mr. Sparkle: it was a merger of the companies Matsumura Fishworks, which had a fish logo, and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern, which had a lightbulb logo. The two logos together made Mr. Sparkle, meaning the resemblance to Homer was a coincidence...
