You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.83.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Mobile Homer'''" is the thirteenth episode of the [[The Simpsons season 16|sixteenth season]] of the American animated television series ''[[The Simpsons]]''. It was first broadcast on the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox network]] in the United States on March 20, 2005. In the episode, [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] saves money for [[life insurance]], worried about Homer after a near-fatal incident and his bad medical history. Angered by his wife's new measures to cut back financially, Homer spends the savings on a [[motor home]], in which he spends most of his time, causing a rift between them.

The episode was written by [[Tim Long]], and was the first to be directed by [[Raymond S. Persi]].

==Plot==
[[Marge Simpson|Marge]] takes the children on a leisurely Sunday afternoon drive while [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] stays home to clean the garage. A series of incidents results in Homer being suffocated by the garage door, and his life is saved when the family returns and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] apply first aid. That night, Marge insists that Homer apply for [[life insurance]], but he is deemed uninsurable due to his poor medical history. After watching a melodramatic "inspired by real-life" made-for-TV film, Marge fears for the family's financial well-being and begins purchasing cheap, low-quality products, keeping the savings in a large jar. Homer argues that as the family's breadwinner, he has the right to spend the money. Angered by Marge's excessive measures, he secretly and spitefully purchases a [[motorhome]], which he parks in the backyard and begins living in. Marge withdraws her word from him, and the parents begin competing for Bart and Lisa's loyalty.

While refueling the motorhome, Homer meets a group of fellow motorhome owners and invites them to settle in his backyard. Their late-night merriment further aggravates Marge, who cuts off their electricity and causes Homer's newfound friends to ditch him. Bart and Lisa, bothered by their parents' escalating argument, decide to return the motorhome to the dealership themselves while their parents are distracted. Homer agrees to return the motorhome, but he and Marge discover the note their children have left, and they give chase in their car. Although they demonstrate to Bart and Lisa that they have made up, the children are unable to reach the motorhome's brakes, and it plunges off an incomplete [[runaway truck ramp]] onto a Turkish freighter leaving the port. Marge persuades the captain to turn around by offering him several cans of mushroom soup. Homer's attempt to return the motorhome to land sends it sinking into the harbor. The family stays for dinner on the freighter, and Marge expresses a lack of tension over their financial loss due to the small amount of [[hashish]] laced in her food.

==Song==
During the scene with the other RV owners in his backyard, a member of the RV convoy sings a version of [[Geoff Mack]]'s "[[I've Been Everywhere]]".

"[[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]]" is featured at the end of the episode, referring to the Turks that picked them up at the end on their cargo ship.

==Reception==
In its original broadcast, "Mobile Homer" acquired a [[Nielsen rating]] of 8.6, and was viewed in 8.6 million households.<ref name="Simpsons Channel">[http://www.simpsonschannel.com/news/monthly-archive-3-2005.html Simpsons Channel | News Archive | March 2005] ((webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080309092855/http://www.simpsonschannel.com/news/monthly-archive-3-2005.html |date=March 9, 2008 ))</ref>

Walter J. Keegan Jr. of TV Squad thought that the episode did not have enough laughs, but did have enough subtle Simpsons humor about [[SUV]]s, Turkish sailors, and evil religious icons. He also thought that the idea of Marge filling the viewers in on what Homer does at work (since he is not seen there a lot anymore) was good, while his most puzzling moment was Bart's drawing of Homer.<ref name="TV Squad">[http://www.tvsquad.com/2005/03/20/the-simpsons-mobile-homer/ The Simpsons: Mobile Homer - TV Squad]</ref>
