"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" Trivia Quiz

Answer: A movie theater

At the movie theater in Springfield, Grandpa Simpson and Jasper demand refunds for their viewing of McBain, a movie they felt very negatively about, and for their opinion of the theater which, as is usually the case with theaters, was quite disgusting. When the employee says that they don't allow refunds and that he shouldn't have a heart attack over it, Grandpa does, in fact, begin to have a heart attack.
The rest of the Simpsons, meanwhile, say a blessing before dinner. While the kids argue, Marge picks up the phone in the kitchen-- it's the hospital.

Answer: Carnival worker

When the family heads to the hospital they find Grandpa hooked up to the life monitor. Dr. Hibbert says that he only had a 'minor' heart attack before the family leaves Homer with his father. This is when Grandpa takes the opportunity to tell his son that he actually has a half-brother.

When he and Mrs. Simpson were courting he slept with a woman who worked with a traveling carnival. Upon her return the next year she had a child; they left him at the Shelbyville Orphanage and never saw him again. Abe vowed to his wife that he'd never tell Homer the truth. Homer vows to find his half-brother no matter what it takes.

Answer: Powell

On their way, the family hops into the car and drives off to find Homer's half-brother. Their first stop is the Shelbyville Orphanage which has, since Grandpa's time, moved across the street. Although the director of the orphanage is unable to release the whereabouts of Homer's sibling, he does say that the boy's name was Herbert and that he was adopted decades earlier by a Mr. and Mrs. Powell.

The director of the orphanage goes out of his way to slip in the city in which Herb lives, but it takes a while for Homer to realize this.

Answer: Detroit

Taking out a Detroit phone book, Homer calls all the Powells he can find. Although all of the Herberts in the book seem to be incorrect, he finally gets a hold of his half-brother using the number assigned to H. Powell. Herb suggests that they get together and while Homer suggests that Herb fly out to meet him in Springfield, Herb invites the entire family to his mansion in Detroit. The Simpsons pack their car and head off on a road trip. En route, the family is struck by odd occurrences; the police stop the car but let them go upon seeing Homer behind the wheel while another man seems to recognize Homer in the restroom.

Answer: A company which manufactures cars

After a heated business meeting at his motor company, Herb finds Homer and the Simpson family waiting outside the gate to his mansion. Herb exits his limo, revealing himself as a thinner version of Homer with more hair on his head. The two embrace as they head onto his property and have their introductions.

Herb, clearly a lonelier man, is thrilled with the family; he calls Homer the richest man he knows and Homer feels the same way about Herb. Homer seems more thrilled with the in-house cook and the ability to order pork chops whenever he wants more than anything else.

Answer: Yes

While the kids play in Herb's pool, the adults talk around the pool. Herb says that they all have so much catching up to do but Marge is pretty satisfied with her short life story. It's clear that Homer wants to spend more time with his brother.
When Homer calls his father to tell him that he found his half-brother, Abe believes that he kept the wrong son; he could've been father to a millionaire. He tells Homer not to screw anything up and he'll be on his way to Detroit as soon as he can leave the hospital.

Answer: Pep

Herb brings Homer to his offices to give him the tour and offer him a free car. When Homer says he wants a big car with lots of pep, Herb's executives say that they don't sell those types of things since Americans want smaller cars with more mileage.

Herb thinks that perhaps he's found the solution to his problems with the company; Homer is the American everyman and his ideas will put the Powell Motors company back in touch with the consumer. He asks Homer to design a car for his company and offers a salary of $200,000 per year to do it.

This car is placed on the highest priority.

Answer: Both kids

Homer is brought in to meet with the designers at Powell Motors and they immediately set to work making his vehicle dreams become a reality. While Homer sets out to work, the rest of the family combines their interests; Bart asks for a boat ride while Lisa asks for a pony ride, so they do both at the same time. When Homer returns to the mansion, Herb notices that he's dissatisfied; the scientists are designing the car and Homer is unsure of what's being done.

Herb decides to motivate his half-brother and inspire some self-confidence, allowing Homer to return to the business and design a car that's right for him and him alone.

Answer: The Homer

Homer pledges several different ideas to the designers of his new car including extra-large cup holders, balls on the end of the antenna, tail fins, and bubble domes. Although none of these really make practical sense, the designers have no choice but to go along with their new boss' decisions and make the car. One designer calls Herb for clearance and he allows all of the changes to be made.
At one point, Homer mentions he can never find a horn when he's angry; the car needs several horns and they should all play "La Cucaracha".
For some reason, Homer is put through several tests (on his own) while the rest of the family enjoys outlandish daily activities. Soon enough, however, The Homer is ready to be unveiled.

Answer: No

During a gala unveiling, Herb decides to introduce his half-brother's company-saving car, The Homer. After a brief commercial prelude, the vehicle is revealed and the stockholders' jaws are dropped. The monstrosity costs $82,000 and Herb's company is ruined; no one would ever buy the Homer.
Powell's motor company is purchased by the Japanese Kumatsu Motors and Uncle Herb loses his home and possessions. Herb, furious, boards a bus and says that as far as he's concerned he has no brother. As the family packs their own things, Grandpa arrives in a taxi to hear the bad news.
On the way home, Bart tells Homer that he thought the car was actually really cool.
