DATE NIGHT HOMER

“Bzzz. Bzzz? Bzzz!” Until very recently, the Fly Monster was a regular housefly. Now that he’s been mutated into a half-fly, half-minifigure creature, he’s found himself a little bit confused. Part of the problem is that his mind is still pretty much that of a fly. The other part is that he doesn’t realize just how much larger he is than he used to be. The Fly Monster is always running into windows, falling off ceilings, and getting stuck to pieces of tape. He’s also very afraid of spiders and flyswatters and flees at the sight of them, buzzing in insectoid terror. There is one good side to his new body, though: it’s a lot easier to get at all of that delicious rotting garbage now that he can lift off the trash-bin lids!

“Did you know that corn is a kind of grass? Well, it is!” Oh boy! The big local summer Corn Festival has just started, and the Corn Cob Guy is here to tell you all about it. You might not have heard about the festival yet, but it’s really huge news around where he lives. People come from all of the surrounding counties just to eat, meet, and talk about one thing: corn! Being the Corn Cob Guy is a big responsibility. He’s got to know lots of corn-related trivia and always keep his costume clean and shiny so that he can give the very best impression of corn. He’s even been practicing acting like an ear of corn. He just hopes it doesn’t get too hot out – he wouldn’t want his costume to start popping!

“Bring it on! I’m ready for anything!” The Football Player wants to make sure that he never lets his team down. That’s why he trains for every situation that could possibly affect the outcome of a game, no matter how strange or unlikely. It might make the other players look at him a little funny, but he knows it’s always best to be fully prepared. He trains in snowshoes, because they might have to play during a blizzard in Antarctica. He trains in scuba gear just in case they have a game underwater. He trains in math, physics and history to make sure he can calculate interception angles, tackling speed and battlefield (or football field) strategy. The Football Player knows that all his hard training will pay off some day, and when it does, he’ll lead his team to awesome victory!

This washed-up warrior may be a little green around the gills, but he is still willing to go ‘kraken’ the whip, wading into battle to defend Apocalypseburg.

Ursula the Sea Witch desires nothing less than control over the entire ocean. She uses her powerful magic to make bargains with desperate mermaids and mermen, granting their wishes but demanding a price that they can rarely pay. She pretends to want to help Ariel, but Ursula’s seeming generosity is all part of her wicked scheme to steal King Triton’s trident and rule the seas!

Batman™ is the best at everything, including swimming and holding his breath. But when a mission is going to take him deep down beneath the waves, he puts on his special mermaid suit and grabs his trident for epically awesome underwater adventures. Move over, Aquaman™ – there’s a new guardian of the ocean, and his name is Mermaid Batman!

That rarest of rare doctors, the general practitioner-surgeon-pediatrician-anesthesiologist-orthopedist-E.N.T-allergist, Dr. Julius Hibbert is Springfield’s only competent physician. Then he lets out one of his trademark jolly chuckles moments after delivering bad news to a patient, and you have to wonder if maybe Springfield has ZERO good doctors.

Springfield Elementary fourth-grade teacher Edna Krabappel works diligently to provide her students with precisely the minimum education required by law. At first glance, she may seem unenthusiastic. And she is. Enthusiastically so! But underneath her hard shell, Bart’s teacher is a woman who deeply loves having her summers off. Why give that up just because of some aggravating kids?

Rex is a high-energy, raptor-training, galaxy-defender who loves a vest. Not only does he wear a regular one, he also wears leg-vests and has even made a little vest for his hat! Rex is a gritty, heroic tough guy – just the sort of guy Emmet feels he needs to become!

No one ever took small-time crook Drury Walker seriously, so he decided to recreate himself as the ultimate Super-Villain version of Batman™ – an evil moth to counter a heroic bat. Despite his many crime-committing gadgets, including gliding wings and a web-firing cocoon gun, Killer Moth’s terrible fashion sense and his many defeats mean that nobody takes him seriously now, either!
