Now It's Just Plain Weird... A Simpsons Fan Fic by CGNU Dumples

DISCLAIMER: I do not own or have anything to do with the Simpsons characters, which are copyright whoever holds the copyright. I also have nothing to do with any other brands or characters that may be mentioned here.

Genre: Humor

Rating: PG-13, just in case. Basically for some bathroom humor and mild language, but nothing more than you would see in an episode of the show.

Summary: After making himself an overnight celebrity doing commercials for Springfield Toyota, Homer decides to run for governor of California, finding himself at odds with Marge, who is protesting the joke of an election.

This is my VERY first Fan Fic. Please give me any criticism that you have, even if it's bad. Thanks!

Simpson Household-

Homer sat at home watching TV, a Duff in one hand and his other hand stuffed into a bag of Pork Rinds. A man in a cowboy hat with a hard Texan accent came on the screen, grinning.

"Do you want to be famous?"

Homer sat up from his slouched position.

"Do you live in Springfield?"

Homer's mouth dropped open.

"Do you want free beer? Then, come on down to the Duff Brewery in Springfield for the new Duff man casting call! Only the first fifty men will be considered." The front door was still swinging back and forth on its hinges as the man finished the sentence.

Duff Brewery-

As Homer's car pulled into the Duff Brewery parking lot, he groaned. Hundreds of people were clustered around the tiny kiosk in front of the brewery. Dejected, Homer sat in his car, parked on the street.

"Why do I always have to be watching the channel that shows these commercials last?" he thought bitterly. Then something caught his eye.

Across the street was another kiosk. A man was sitting bouncing a tennis ball against the side of the kiosk. The sign over it read "Casting Call: Springfield Toyota".

"Toyota Beer?" thought Homer. He walked across the street.

"So, what'cha selling?" asked Homer.

"Free opportunities to be on TV," replied the man.

"I'll take it!" cried Homer, throwing down a wad of cash.

"Dude, I said it was free."

Springfield Toyota-

Homer had locked himself in a stall in the men's bathroom.

"Homer, come on out. There's no need to be embarrassed," said the commercial producer.

"Yes there is. I'm not coming out."

"Homer, you don't get paid unless you come out. And if you don't come out within thirty seconds, your salary is cut in half."

Homer paused for a few seconds, fuming at the producer.

"Well, okay."

Homer stepped out of the stall in a giant cow costume, complete with a rubber udder. The producer made a strange grunting noise and covered his face with his hand.
