[edit] Synopsis

A low-fat pudding, Grandma Plopwell's, is the sponsor of a Springfield contest that celebrates stupidity. Many Springfield residents enter the contest, but things do not go well, and the contest leads to a fight among participants. Lisa denounces Springfield for its anti-intellectualism, and writes a letter that impresses Springfield's population of intellectuals, particularly their Mensa chapter, which Lisa joins after she brings a pie.

She joins Mensa alongside Comic Book Guy, Dr. Hibbert, Principal Skinner, Professor Frink, and Lindsay Naegle. They fear that Springfield's quality is down because of the less brilliant having power over their civic institutions. The Mensa group goes to confront Mayor Quimby, until he escapes from the city by plane when he thinks the group wants to arrest him for his acts of corruption. They now have control of Springfield, and hope that things become better in town.

However, at a meeting, the members disagree on their ideas for a plan. A riot breaks out and continues on until Stephen Hawking comes in to end the fight. He and Homer have a friendly talk, until Homer imitates him in an attempt to make him pay the tab, and is punched.

Meanwhile, Homer attends an erotic photo session and gets pictures for Marge done.
