Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene where Homer is trying to sign up for the Naval Reserve, he questions an officer about a question that was scratched out. This was a reference to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy that Bill Clinton proposed where he would allow gays in the Armed Forces, as long as they were not openly gay in the military. Consequently, the Armed Forces were no longer allowed to "ask" soldiers if they were gay (hence the question now being crossed out and the officer trying to avoid hearing Homer answer the question).
- GoofsWhen the drill sergeant was announcing who was accepted into the Navy, his hands are yellow for a few frames, while he is usually dark-skinned.
- Quotes
Kent Brockman: Could Homer Simpson be a communist? His father spoke out on his behalf.
Grampa Simpson: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is *not* a porn star!

Featured review
Mr Moe
Homer gets sacked from work and joins the naval reserves.
This is a strong episode with some memorable visuals and character moments.
There is a good build up to Homer's adventure and his time onboard the submarine has some excellent moments, such as the navy anthem and Homer's Star Trek inspired time with "the conn". Other characters such as Moe and Barney are also used well by the writers.
Probably the best part is the now quite ironic Cold War reemergence visual montage. I found this a hilarious piece of satire back in 1998, but give the way things are in the world now it's become quite a dark concept.
