List of all The Simpsons episodes

"Eight Misbehavin'" is the seventh episode of the eleventh season of The Simpsons. It aired on November 21, 1999. The episode's story is loosely based on those of the McCaughey septuplets and Dionne quintuplets. The title is a parody of the famous song "Ain't Misbehavin'".

[edit] Plot

The family visits Shøp, a Swedish furniture store chain, and when they eat there, they meet Apu and Manjula. They say that they would like to have a baby. They eventually do, and Manjula gives birth to octuplets because the Simpsons and Apu slipped her fertility drugs (Which she had been taking herself, already). It makes headlines across Springfield, with local companies giving the Nahasapeemapetilons free products. However, their feat is eclipsed when a family in Shelbyville give birth to nine babies (All of the gifts given to the Nahasapeemapetilons were instantly revoked upon the hearing of the Shelbyville birth). After the feat is made, Apu and Manjula have to deal with raising eight kids all at once.

Later, Apu is met by the owner of the Springfield Zoo, a man named Larry Kidkill. Kidkill offers to put Apu's children in a nursery. Although Apu is not open to the idea at first, he caves in and reluctantly accepts. The children are the stars of a show at the zoo named "Octopia", but Apu is not impressed and he wants to liberate his children from the zoo's owner, but he will not let them because they are under contract. Apu talks with Homer, and he suggests that they, with Butch Patrick's help, perform at the zoo through a new contract.

[edit] Trivia

  • Spoiled brat Gavin and his mom are seen in the SHØP food court. They are first seen in season seven's "Marge Be Not Proud" (in the sequence where Bart is at the Try-N-Save) and later in season ten's Lisa Gets an "A" (in the sequence where the Simpsons are at the whole foods supermarket and Gavin whines that he wants to live with one of his fathers when his mom doesn't give him the cereal he likes).
