Krusty finds Bart and explains that the Golem is created in <a href="/wiki/Prague" title="Prague">Prague</a> in the 1600s by a rabbi. The Golem then does whatever tasks are written on scrolls and inserted into its mouth. Eventually, the Golem ends up in Krusty's possession, where he uses it to scare audience members who do not enjoy his jokes. After telling the story, Krusty leaves, and Bart puts a scroll into its mouth, telling it to come to his room at midnight. </p><p>That night, Bart waits for the Golem to arrive. After a fake-out with his drunken father, the Golem turns up at Bart's room, and Bart puts a scroll in its mouth, telling it to "kick Homer's balls." The Golem does as it is ordered, and Bart takes the Golem with him to school the next day, ordering it to attack the bullies. <a href="/wiki/Lisa" class="mw-redirect" title="Lisa">Lisa</a> realizes what Bart has done and puts a scroll in the Golem's mouth, telling it to speak.

They create a <a href="/wiki/Female_Golem" title="Female Golem">Female Golem</a> out of <a href="/wiki/Play-Doh" title="Play-Doh">Play-Doh</a> and bring her to life. While Homer does not like his creation and wants to get rid of her, the Male Golem falls in love and decides to marry her, with <a href="/wiki/Rabbi_Krustofsky" class="mw-redirect" title="Rabbi Krustofsky">Rabbi Krustofsky</a> officiating the ceremony. The police arrive at the wedding to investigate the Golem, but they are persuaded to drop the matter with a free latke bar. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid">The Day the Earth Looked Stupid</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Treehouse_of_Horror_XVII&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: The Day the Earth Looked Stupid">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <div class="thumb tleft"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:202px;"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png" class="image"><img alt="The Day the Earth Looked Stupid title card.png" src="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/3/3b/The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png/200px-The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png" width="200" height="151" class="thumbimage" srcset="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/3/3b/The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png/300px-The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png 1.5x, https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/3/3b/The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png/400px-The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png 2x" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Day_the_Earth_Looked_Stupid_title_card.png" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div></div></div></div> <p>In 1938 <a href="/wiki/Springfield" title="Springfield">Springfield</a>, during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Great Depression">Great Depression</a>, the people of Springfield line up to receive bread from <a href="/wiki/The_Salvation_Army" title="The Salvation Army">The Salvation Army</a>.
