Homer started the business after he wrecked both of the family cars during a blizzard, and a salesman at a car show talked Homer into buying a snowplow by telling him that he could afford the higher payments by doing plowing jobs on the side. That convinced Homer, and he bought his {{ap|Mr. Plow|vehicle}} snowplow truck.

To get his business going, Homer made a TV commercial which showed a family ([[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]) trapped in their house by the snow, much to the delight of a laughing Old Man Winter (portrayed by [[Abraham Simpson]] dressed in a red suit). Homer came to the rescue and drove Old Man Winter away. The family cheered, and Homer sang the Mr. Plow {{ap|Mr. Plow|song|jingle}}. The commercial was aired at 2:00 a.m. on Channel 92, and immediately afterwards the station went off the air because it was the end of its broadcast schedule for the day. In spite of the time slot, Homer's commercial brought a lot of calls from customers wanting their driveways cleared. The Mr. Plow business became a huge success, and in recognition for his service Homer was awarded a key to the city by [[Mayor Quimby]].

Derren Brown.png

Derren Brown is an English mentalist, illusionist, and writer.

Derren Brown went to Springfield to film A Derren Brown Christmas. He chose Springfield because there was no feeling of Christmas spirit in the town. So that he wouldn't reveal what he was really doing to the townspeople, he told Mayor Quimby and the people of Springfield that the town had won an award for being the "Christmasiest" Town in America, and he and Hark Media were there to film a documentary about it. After getting permission to film, Derren Brown focused on his first target, Gil Gunderson. Derren set up a stunt involving a baby carriage rolling down a hill toward Gil, who stopped it and supposedly saved the baby inside. However, the baby was placed in the carriage after it was stopped. Upon being told that he had saved the baby, Gil phoned his estranged wife Bonnie and was told he could spend Christmas with the family.

Derren Brown then targeted Homer, as Homer believed he was terrible at buying gifts for people. After hypnotizing Marge into giving permission to work on Homer, Derren Brown set his plan in motion. When Homer went to work the next day, he went to the vending machine where his favorite cupcakes had a festive makeover, with a picture of Santa Claus on the packet. Homer tried to buy them but was sucked into the vending machine and into a hidden room where Derren Brown hypnotized him. However, Homer proved difficult to hypnotize, as he was still focused on the cupcakes. Derren Brown placed the cupcake packet on his forehead to get Homer to pay attention and attempted to hypnotize Homer into believing he was good at buying gifts. However, seeing the picture of Santa Claus, Homer was hypnotized into thinking he was Santa. He then managed to get one of the cupcakes without Derren noticing...
