In the episode King Size Homer of the Simpsons Homer gains weight in order to get on disability. Homer wants to get out of being forced to exercise at work and decides that working at home would be a better alternative. Homer gains weight and gets the ability to work at home as per power plant policy stating that individuals over a certain weight qualify as disabled.
The episode features some pretty classic moments such as Homer trying to gain weight by rubbing food onto a piece of paper to see if it turns clear t be his window to weight gain. Homer goes so far as to rub a sandwich on a wall and a bird flies through it mistaking it for an open space.
Homer is ridiculed for being overweight and is ashamed of his excess weight, but still manages to avert a power plant disaster. Mr. Burns decides that in exchange for averting the disaster he will help Homer exercise in order to lose weight. Right before the episode ends Mister Burns is yelling at Homer through a megaphone to do a single sit up. He is heard remarking "one ... one ... i'll just pay for the liposuction" and all is back to normal for the Simpsons on the following week. This and quite a few other favorites are available on local direc4u.com.
