Plot[]
The dean of the university (dressed as God for a costume contest) throws Doug, Gary and Benjamin out because they had already graduated last year. They can't go to the Natural History Museum, nor the Kwik-E-Mart, nor the public library, but find a place at The Android's Dungeon. During a convention there, some nerds mistake Gerald for Urkel and chase him. They hide in Homer's car, but he forgets them and releases them one week later.
He allows them to live in the Simpsons' house. They place their computers at the basement and spend all day there, while Bart studies them to give Nelson information about nerds. They are creating a violent video game in which the playable character resembles Homer (he looks like him and can strangle enemies). Bart accidentally sends the video game all over the internet, but people loves it like that and it soon becomes a huge success. The nerds have hired Lionel Hutz to invest their money on some projects. Doug has an interview with Troy McClure and, after showing him his mansion, he tells him he wants to produce the best sci-fiction movie ever. At the power plant, Mr. Burns tells Gary he wants to invest his money on a computer. Professor Frink tells Benjamin he wants the money to make a comestible car. Meanwhile at Moe's Tavern, Mr. Black, who has tied Moe under the floor, tries to convince Homer to sell him the nerds company. Troy's and Doug's movie is premiering at the Aztec Theater, but everyone hates it because it doesn't have sound and the spaceship Troy and his companion is on is too slow. According to Doug as he explained to Troy, there is no sound in space, and that it is impossible to travel at the speed of light without causing a black hole. To Troy, when he replied And speaking of black hole, it was discovered that everyone had left for seeing this to be a failure, except for the Comic Book Guy, who praised it for being a triumph to how realistic it should be. Professor Frink's and Benjamin's car now has a windshield that makes people look 500 times more good-looking. However, Frink's calculations don't seem to make sense, and that's because his science is based on faith and not physical laws, so the laboratory is destroyed. Mr. Burns' and Gary's computer is ruined too when Mr. Burns touches it and short-circuits it because of his radiation. At Moe's Tavern, Homer goes to the bathroom, and when he comes back, he discovers Barney sold the company to Mr. Black.
The nerds company is over, but at least they go back to the university and bought a triple-creamed Krusty cookie for Homer with what was left of the money.
