The "Jolly Gummi Bears" display is a popular one.

Homer: Ooh, gummi bears! Gummi calves' heads...gummi jaw breakers!
[sees a gummi figure on a red pillow in a glass case, turning]
Homer: [lustily] Ohh...[walks up] What's that?
Man: [German accent] That is the rarest gummi of them all, the gummi
Venus de Milo, carved by gummi artisans who were exclusively in
the medium of gummi.
Marge: Will you two stop saying "gummi" so much?

On the way home, Homer tries his hand at conversation.

Homer: So, a graduate student, huh? How come you guys can go to the
moon but you can't make my shoes smell good?
Ashley: I'm sorry?
Homer: Aw, nobody's blaming you. Hey: could you take the wheel for a
second? I have to scratch myself in two places at once.
Ashley: [repulsed] Just drop me off here.
[Homer stops the car; Ashley gets out]
Homer: [sees Venus de Milo on Ashley's pants] [gasps] Precious Venus...
[rips it off; Ashley looks back to see Homer drooling lustily]
Ashley: Aah! [slams door, runs off]
Homer: Thank you. [eats it]
