| Description: | MS grumpy-looking Homer Cliché the sick nephew scowling into camera, two hammers appearing overhead and striking his pate, inducing a splitting headache; Homer acts as though he has a severely upset stomach; Homer picks up bottled medicine, spoons out a dose, takes it, smiles; CU thumb covering label of medicine moving, revealing that the medicine is actually Old Mr. Boston Rock & Rye whiskey. MS Homer lovingly holding the hand of Mrs. Cliché, looking happy and hopelessly in love-- but Mrs. Cliché, upon noticing his bad hygienic smell, pulls hand away, plugs nose, waves hand about as though saying "PU, you stink!" MS Mr. & Mrs. Cliché holding flutes of foamy beer, toasting each other & the camer but never drinking the suds. MS Mr. & Mrs. Cliché looking longingly into each other's eyes, Mr. Cliché lighting two cigarettes with Zippo lighter, but instead of giving her one he comically smokes them both. MS Mr. & Mrs. Cliché drinking piping hot coffee, making pained faces before smiling again. MS Cliché family sitting on couch, money falling from heaven, the family scrambling to pick the cash up. | |
