"Football" is the eleventh Simpsonsshort. It originally aired on The Tracey Ullman Show on October 18, 1987.
Plot[]
Bart, with Lisa and Maggie watching, attempts to catch a football thrown by Homer, who tells him that they'll all go out for frosty chocolate milkshakes if he succeeds. In his first attempt, he hits a tree and a giant wooden pole before hitting a brick wall just before the football lands into it as well.
During the second time, Bart dodges a fence, a ditch, and a barking dog before running off a cliff, missing the football again.
Once more, Bart attempts to catch the ball, this time with Lisa and Maggie cheering him on. Bart manages to catch the ball, but in his mouth rather than his hands like how Homer wanted.
Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and Homer go to an ice cream parlor to get milkshakes as Bart's reward. However, Bart still has the ball in his mouth and has trouble being able to drink his milkshake. When Homer threatens to drink Bart's milkshake, Lisa puts the straw in Bart's mouth so he can drink it.
