Marge, in the ep I am watching right now, about her hamster (no, guinea pig) and Homer pretends to be a robot for bart.

The father of a family on their way to Disney World (I think). The kids are being brats, and he tells them to stop or he’ll turn around. Nelson, in a car beside them (being driven by Bart), leans out the window and hits him on the back of the head, so he turns around and goes back to Winnipeg.

Kent Brockman, describing _The Lottery_, which doesn’t contain any tips for winning the lottery.

This is Homer describing his injuries while being attacked by some animals. I _think_ this time it was reindeer, but he’s been attacked by so many animals that it’s hard to remember.

The annoucher at the robot fights in the same ep about Marge and her guinea pig.

Frink, at a science convention, used to get everyones’ attention when Lisa has a girl bully.

Same ep as that Marge guinea pig/robot homer ep, when Bart’s friends see his robot.
