Err...you're thinking of "Brother from Another Series".one of Sideshow Bob's best episodes, 5/5
Brother From The Same Planet is probably the first episode that features Homer disappointing Bart by thoroughly failing in his duties as a father. It is interesting to see Bart finally get someone like Tom who is the ideal father for Bart (someone who Bart can look up to) and Homer finding a boy who is the ideal son for him (very timid and obedient and forgiving to Homer's lack of knowledge). However, the actual emotional conflict between Homer and Bart is a little lightweight and doesn't eactly reveal a whole dimension to their relationship. It just concludes with Bart finally seeing his father do things that are somewhat cool which redeems Homer in Bart's eyes.
Both Pepi and Tom are good one-timers. Lisa's subplot I also find decent. Only the fight scene seems a little silly to me but it is still is a well-done slapstick sequence. And some of the gags here are pure gold : Krusty's Tuesday Night Live, Homer's brain banter, "Trab pu kcip'' , The Psycho parody with Skinner, Homer naming all the constellations and correcting the pronunciation, Kent Brockman being tricked into uttering I. P Freely. I can't steady my mind on the one really disturbing joke (you know the one I'm talking about). My grade for this episode hovers between B+/A-
What's the disturbing joke that you're talking about?
