    Did you see that Brent Forrester did a youtube video explaining the process behind this episode? Found it pretty interesting, and I had no idea about that weird contest they did.

      yeah I remember the contest. I thought it was for the replica Simpsons house but I guess I remembered wrong and this one was for if you won you’d get animated into a future episode. no one won it though. but the way it was done was so weird. like you had to call 1-800-Collect and use the service and then they’d take down your info. THEN later on in that summer they would call 200 random people from the list. people either didn’t answer the phone or just guessed wrong. majority guessed Smithers.

        “What? No, with my last ounce of strength, I sucked out my gold fillings and swallowed them!”
