The 257th episode overall, it originally aired on the <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox network</a> in the United States on January 7, 2001. In the episode, while working as a human guinea pig (to pay off the family's lost savings after making a bad investment), <a href="/wiki/Homer_Simpson" title="Homer Simpson">Homer</a> discovers the root cause of his subnormal intelligence: a <a href="/wiki/Crayon" title="Crayon">crayon</a> that was lodged in his brain ever since he was six years old. He decides to have it removed to increase his <a href="/wiki/IQ" class="mw-redirect" title="IQ">IQ</a>, but soon learns that being intelligent is not always the same as being happy. </p><p>The episode was written by <a href="/wiki/Al_Jean" title="Al Jean">Al Jean</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Mike_B._Anderson" title="Mike B.

Its plot takes inspiration from <i><a href="/wiki/Flowers_for_Algernon" title="Flowers for Algernon">Flowers for Algernon</a></i> and its film adaptation <i><a href="/wiki/Charly_(1968_film)" title="Charly (1968 film)">Charly</a></i>. "HOMR" was viewed in 10.2 million households, and it received positive reviews from television critics. </p><p>In 2001, the episode won an <a href="/wiki/Emmy_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Emmy Award">Emmy Award</a> for <a href="/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Animated_Program_(For_Programming_less_than_One_Hour)" class="mw-redirect" title="Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming less than One Hour)">Outstanding Animated Program</a>, while Al Jean received a nomination in the category "Outstanding Individual Achievement for Writing in an Animated Television Production". </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=HOMR&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>When the <a href="/wiki/Simpson_family" title="Simpson family">Simpson family</a> visits an animation festival, <a href="/wiki/Homer_Simpson" title="Homer Simpson">Homer</a> discovers Animotion, a <a href="/wiki/Motion_capture" title="Motion capture">motion capture</a> technology that enables a real person to control a cartoon character with his or her own movements. Homer volunteers to demonstrate this technology and likes it so much that he invests his life savings in the Animotion stock. Two days later, he discovers that the stock has plunged and the company behind the technology has gone out of business. At <a href="/wiki/Moe%27s_Tavern" class="mw-redirect" title="Moe's Tavern">Moe's Tavern</a>, he tells <a href="/wiki/Barney_Gumble" title="Barney Gumble">Barney</a> and <a href="/wiki/Moe_Szyslak" title="Moe Szyslak">Moe</a> about his economic troubles, and Barney suggests that Homer become a <a href="/wiki/Human_subject_research" title="Human subject research">human guinea pig</a> to earn money. </p><p>Homer gets a job at a medical testing center. During one experiment, while commenting on Homer's stupidity, the doctors find a <a href="/wiki/Crayon" title="Crayon">crayon</a> lodged in Homer's brain from a childhood incident when he stuck sixteen crayons up his nose and sneezed all but one of them out. The doctors offer to surgically remove the crayon, and Homer accepts their offer. Homer survives the operation, and his <a href="/wiki/Intelligence_quotient" title="Intelligence quotient">IQ</a> goes up fifty points to 105, allowing him to form a bond with his intelligent daughter <a href="/wiki/Lisa_Simpson" title="Lisa Simpson">Lisa</a>. Homer's newfound brain capacity soon brings him enemies, however, after he performs a thorough report on the <a href="/wiki/Springfield_Nuclear_Power_Plant" class="mw-redirect" title="Springfield Nuclear Power Plant">Springfield Nuclear Power Plant</a>'s many hazards, leading to massive layoffs when the plant is shut down until its many problems can be repaired or resolved. </p><p>When Homer visits Moe's Tavern, he sees an <a href="/wiki/Effigy" title="Effigy">effigy</a> of himself being burnt by his friends who worked at the plant. Homer realizes that due to his improved intelligence, he is no longer welcome and that his life was a lot more enjoyable when he was an idiot. He therefore begs the test center doctors to put the crayon back into his brain. The scientists refuse to do it, but recommend Homer to someone who can: Moe, who is also an unlicensed physician. At his bar, Moe inserts a crayon into Homer's brain, returning him to the idiot he was before. Lisa is initially saddened that she and her father have lost the new connection they shared. However, she finds a note written by Homer before the operation that reads: "Lisa, I’m taking the coward’s way out. But before I do, I just want you to know being smart made me appreciate how amazing you really are."
