Pygmoelian (S11, E16-242)

More like 'pugmoelian', right?  I mean, right?

Plot Summary
The Simpsons go to Duff Days, a beer festival.  One event in said festival is a bartending contest, which Moe is a part of.  Though it seems he's going to lose to a well endowed female contestant, the final contest is a bum tossing and after the female contestant is too disgusted to partake, Moe is barely able to edge out victory.  As a reward, Moe's picture is to be put on the upcoming Duff calender.  When the calenders come in, though, Moe finds that his face is covered with several stickers and, after peeling said stickers off, he's pretty darn ugly.

Depressed over that, Moe takes Lenny's advice and gets plastic surgery for his face.  The idea works, and Moe becomes presentable.  With Homer's help, Moe decides to use his new looks... for revenge!  After a few successful vengeance runs, Moe turns his new eyes towards the TV studio.  He reveals that, 25 years ago, he was denied a role (Dr. Tad Winslow) on a soap opera because he was ugly.  He goes to confront the executive of the show, but his new looks coincide with the actor of Winslow demanding a pay raise combine for the executive to give the role to Moe.

Moe's new gig starts off pretty well, and he gets all the ladies.  However, Moe is able to get a peek at future storylines for the show, and is angered to learn that Winslow's character is to die, leaving Moe without the role again.  On the next taping, which is aired live apparently, Moe has Homer come in and reveal several upcoming storylines.  As it turns out, though, Winslow's death was only part of a dream sequence, but the damage is done and Moe is fired.  Angered, Moe slams the door of a set behind him, confident his new looks will get him other roles.  However, the set wobbles and falls towards him, landing on his new face.  The weight of the wall forces Moe's face to change again, but back to what it was before, an oddity Moe begins to question just as the episode ends.

Quick Review
This was another episode that had its moments but not really enough of them for this episode to be considered great.  It was also sorta weird that this episode, focused on Moe, had Homer around for so many parts where Homer just happened to be around.  Whatever.

Final Score: 7.2
