Plot Under the Advice of Bart and Milhouse, Comic Book Guy decides to Self-Publish a comic book he started, called Everyman. It gathers so much popularity that movie producers want to make Everyman into a feature film. Comic Book Guy agrees on the condition that he picks who will play Everyman, which turns out to be Homer. <br /><br />At first, Homer is not viewed as ideal for the role, and as such the movie producers hire a personal trainer to get him into shape which succeeds within a month. During the filming of the movie, the trainer leaves for another actor to train and Homer starts to eat again, uncontrollably, thus gaining lots of weight. <br /><br />At the premier, people lose focus because Homer is thin in some shots and fat in the next, the film happens to be a major bomb because even Comic Book Guy gives the film a bad review.
