Plot

Homer wakes up in a playset-like, stop-motion version of Springfield and finds out that he is an action figure, which he is horrified to discover as he hates action. Ned greets him from his roof, but Homer yells at him to shut up. Suddenly, his arm shoots at Ned, making him fall from his roof and explode. After Homer's arm returns to him, he changes his mind about the new reality and thinks that it's not all bad.

In the street, Homer tests out his power by transforming into a doughnut and rolling over Agnes Skinner, Martin Prince and Mr. Burns, the latter of which he rolls over multiple times.

At Moe's Tavern, he constantly pulls the pull-cord of Barney to make him burp repeatedly. Moe asks Homer to pull his cord, which says "I'm lonely".

Later, Homer is driving with his family in his car. Marge thought that he was going to the mall, but Homer says that they're actually going to "Bad Ass City", which is a Hot Wheels-like track that goes through loops and over nuclear waste at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He then drag races with Otto driving the school bus. They both jump over the Springfield Gorge, but Otto doesn't make it. Ralph says "I'm a fatality!" before the bus explodes once it hits the edge. The family congratulates Homer on the jump.

The car drives into the garage, but the strong force of it stopping in sends the family flying out of it into the couch. As they sit on it, they get strapped down by the Robot Chicken just like the opening sequence of Robot Chicken, which is on their TV. The Robot Chicken turns on The Simpsons instead, but Homer requests to put "the chicken one" back on, so the Robot Chicken changes it back. The TV then shows the opening credits while the Robot Chicken theme plays over it.
