Question 6 of 10
6. Homer and Bart go off hunting with Maggie joining them, however they don't know that Maggie is behind them. Homer explains to Bart that animals sense fear so he can't be afraid, but the sound of Maggie sucking her pacifier spooks Homer as he thinks it's what kind of snake?

Answer: (One Word, Deadly bite!)
Question 7 of 10
7. Homer and Bart continue their hunt for food but an attempt to catch a rabbit sees the animal flung miles across the forest by their poorly made trap.

Meanwhile Maggie is now separated from all of her family, but a group of what animals comes to her rescue? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. The next morning Homer and Bart continue their hunt for food and seem to have a bit more success. They find a beehive full of honey, although Homer's attempts to eat the honey ends up with him eating just as many bees as honey. Looking for water he stumbles into a pool of mud covering him from head to toe. Someone then takes a photo of him thinking he is what?

Answer: (One Word)
Question 9 of 10
9. Homer and Bart eventually find Maggie and she leaves her briefly adopted animal family. When the three of them find the media scrum that the sighting of a mythical beast has created, Homer is captured by scientists hoping to study him. What do they use to stop Homer from escaping? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This episode is all about the adventures of the Simpsons going on a trip after purchasing an RV, a decision that is made due to Homer's jealousy of Ned Flanders' RV. However the first bit of envy in the episode is from Bart. What does he see the Flanders family have that he wants?

Answer: Lawn mower

Bart is stuck mowing the lawn with an old-style mower that is making the task of lawn mowing long and painful. When Todd Flanders rides by on a shiny new sit-down mower Bart is jealous, but Homer tells him not to worry about what the Flanders have and be happy with what he's got. That point of view doesn't last long...
2. Homer sees Flanders drive up in his new RV and is immediately envious that Flanders is able to afford a top-of-the-line vehicle. Homer heads to Bob's RV Round-Up to get an RV of his own, asking for the the best RV they have. What is the name of the best RV on the lot?

Answer: The Ultimate Behemoth

The Ultimate Behemoth has everything you could want and more: its own satellite orbiting the Earth, a fireplace, a giant TV, a chandelier, four deep fryers and a full size refrigerator. Lisa isn't far from the truth when she says "it's better than our house!"
3. There's no way Homer can afford such a spectacular vehicle as his poor credit check confirms. In the end Homer buys the worst RV on the lot which is barely able to move without sputtering. The Simpsons head off on a journey in their RV although everyone except Homer doesn't want to go. Bart and Lisa play a game called "Name That Odour" to pass the time. What does the odour end up being?

Answer: Homer's feet

The three incorrect answers are all also incorrect answers from the "Name That Odour" game. Homer isn't best pleased that his feet are considered to smell as bad as a turkey farm, skunks or a slaughterhouse, but as he's driving the RV there's nothing he can do about the insolence of his children!
4. Homer turns off the main road and the family begin driving through the woods with Marge astutely noting, "Homer, I'm telling you, this is not the Interstate." Homer carries on though until the RV is perched precariously on a cliff. Does the RV end up going over the cliff?

Answer: Yes

Yes, the RV does end up going over the cliff and exploding at the bottom, but the family make a very timely escape just moments before it topples over. With everything they needed for their trip now lying in flaming wreckage at the bottom of a cliff, the Simpsons are left with nothing and are lost in the forest.
5. The Simpsons begin trudging through the forest with no idea where they are and the daunting prospect of Homer claiming he knows what he's doing. Homer sees some birds in the sky and points them out to Maggie, but what type of birds are the "birdies" above them?

Answer: Vultures

Vultures are the bird most associated with picking the flesh off dead bodies, so the fact they're circling overhead is a sign that they don't think the Simpsons are going to last long. Homer doesn't seem to think so either as he separates himself from the family and yells, "What am I going to do?! I've murdered us all!"
6. Homer and Bart go off hunting with Maggie joining them, however they don't know that Maggie is behind them. Homer explains to Bart that animals sense fear so he can't be afraid, but the sound of Maggie sucking her pacifier spooks Homer as he thinks it's what kind of snake?

Answer: Rattlesnake

Homer's theory of not being afraid quickly goes out the window and he instructs Bart to run away as fast as they can. Marge and Lisa are back at their "campsite" and have proven to be far more adapted to their forest surroundings, arranging the area into as liveable an area as possible.
7. Homer and Bart continue their hunt for food but an attempt to catch a rabbit sees the animal flung miles across the forest by their poorly made trap. Homer then runs into a bush to flush animals out, but Bart just watches as his father is attacked by a snake, a rabbit, a chipmunk and a raccoon. Meanwhile Maggie is now separated from all of her family, but a group of what animals comes to her rescue?

Answer: Bears

A bear nearly eats Maggie before she uses her pacifier to... pacify it. As a result the bear and its family take Maggie in, even finding another family in the woods to steal a bottle of milk from to feed her. All three sets of the Simpsons go to sleep, Marge and Lisa next to a fire they've built, Maggie snuggling up with her bear friends, and Homer and Bart shivering on the ground with no shelter, or at this point, clothes.
8. The next morning Homer and Bart continue their hunt for food and seem to have a bit more success. They find a beehive full of honey, although Homer's attempts to eat the honey ends up with him eating just as many bees as honey. Looking for water he stumbles into a pool of mud covering him from head to toe. Someone then takes a photo of him thinking he is what?

Answer: Bigfoot

Homer's unwanted impersonation of Bigfoot is convincing enough that all the media outlets in Springfield believe that they have found the mythical beast. Marge arrives to a media circus where the journalists find out that Marge is married to what they believe as Bigfoot!
9. Homer and Bart eventually find Maggie and she leaves her briefly adopted animal family. When the three of them find the media scrum that the sighting of a mythical beast has created, Homer is captured by scientists hoping to study him. What do they use to stop Homer from escaping?

Answer: Tranquilizer gun

After Bart is "rescued" (despite having no idea what he's being rescued from) Homer is taken down by a tranquillizer dart whilst trying to flee. Homer sees things a bit worse than they really are, as he drops to the ground he shouts "Avenge me, son. Avenge my death...!" before falling asleep from the tranquillizer.
10. Homer is taken back to a laboratory and is subjected to a series of tests to determine whether Homer is a man or a beast. In the end the results are inconclusive, the doctors decide that Homer is either a "below average human" or a "brilliant beast". Which one of these does Marge call Homer at the end of the episode?

Answer: Brilliant Beast

Scientists from around the world have flown in to Springfield Primate Institute to find out the results of the tests, and it's understandable that Homer is upset that a team of top scientists are unable to conclusively determine if he's human or not. Marge comforts her husband by calling him a "brilliant beast" as the episode ends. Thanks for playing!
