All the retirees fly out to Los Angeles to watch Artie. The night before the game show is supposed to be taped everyone goes out on the town. Barney, Moe, Wiggum, Homer, Ned, and Artie all go to a bar, where they inevitably get drunk. The next morning Artie's hangover is too much for him to go on the game show. Barney, who drinks so much anyway he is basically immune to alcohol, goes on the show in Artie's place. However, Bob Barker is so disgusted by Barney's behavior that he gets very mad. He starts to scream and has a heart attack. The producers of the show give Barney a blimp to make up for the fiasco. See this guide in its entirety here. |
