This page presents the quote "No TV and no beer makes Homer something something.". I think he meant he is unhappy without TV and beer. But I wonder whether the expression of "make someone something something" is usual in the US or other native English speaking countrines. It may not display this or other websites correctly.

I've been a long time Simpsons fan and, like you, have found myself holding entire conversations using nothing but Simpsons quotes. Looking forward to the movie but I won't be there on opening night, too many lines. We're going to be less extreme, but we already have tickets to see the show tomorrow, with friends from high school and college and my wife. The six of us will be converging from our different geographies, each with differing Simpsons knowledge, and take in a little bit of Springfield. And if it's good, maybe I'll be dropping in to the theater a few more times. The Simpsons is a sitcom, though, so the responses must always be funny.
No Tv And No Beer Make Homer Something Something
But "The Shinning" goes one step further and uses the idea of horror to address the problems in its characters' lives. The most important part of "The Shinning" happens at the very end. In The Shining, Jack Torrance dies by freezing to death while chasing his family from their winter lodgings in the Rocky Mountains. In "The Shinning," it’s not just Homer who dies, it's the entire family, wrapped around him and watching a small, portable television. In their frozen, deathly states, they’re smiling, their eyes focused on the small piece of shimmering light in front of them.
While I admit that I haven’t seen some of the newer ones , it’s the classic takes that draw me in each time. Welcome to Polygon's 13 Days of Halloween series! Between Oct. 19 and Oct. 31, Polygon will publish 13 opinion pieces about different films, shows and specials that exemplify what Halloween means to us. Whether that's the scariest movies you haven't seen yet or a look at a popular Treehouse of Horror episode, this is our tribute to the world of the strange, creepy and downright horrifying that exists within popular culture. Thank you for making my morning a bit better Louis.
No Beer and No TV Make Homer Something Something
I had friends at school that would rave about the show, and we didn't have access. Instead, we only got media warnings about how The Simpsons were emblematic of a declining society. But once, when in Sacramento at my maternal grandmother's home, we stayed late and caught our first Simpsons, Life on the Fast Lane, in 1990. Homer doesn’t just get sullen and sink into himself. He gets angry and violent, looking for a way to get his hands on some kind of alcohol or television.
I can't help but laugh in advance of the best parts of a show, because I know they're coming. I have a bad habit of telling people, "This is a good episode", or shushing them in advance of a much-anticipated one-liner.

No TV, No Beer Make Homer Something Something...
But, sticking to what makes The Simpsons as brilliant as it is, each replication is exaggerated, turning the downright horror of Stephen King’s novel and Stanley Kubrick’s film into a strangely delightful comedy. Despite that, "The Shinning" is full of commentary on Homer and the rest of his family that doesn’t get acknowledged with the same level of horror during the regular season that it does in the segment. In The Shining, the line that Jack Nicholson says is "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," before going on a rampage with an axe and trying to kill his family.
Without it, and without the daily intake of beer, he begins to lose his mind.

Like The Shining, "The Shinning" includes a psychic child, a wave of blood that comes spilling out of the elevator, a tender family moment in the frosty winter gardens.
No beer makes Homer something something
Early in the segment, an apparition of Moe, Homer’s good friend and bartender, says give Homer a beer but only if he kills his family. Homer is horrified by the idea, but as time wanes and he becomes more desperate, he becomes a man who will do anything to get to quench his thirst. None have done this as well as The Simpsons and its long-running Treehouse of Horror Halloween special For this series, I revisited some of the most memorable Treehouse of Horror episodes.
The goal was to get to the next joke and keep the story moving, not actually examine Homer’s drinking problem. But the Simpsons didn't make it easy for me to keep watching. The show announced it would go head to head with The Cosby Show, a ratings behemoth, on Thursday nights. My family, with one TV, continued in its conservative ways, supporting the Huxtables. Later, once the Cosby Show had been trumped, The Simpsons moved to Sunday, and again, my family's conservative background decided such fare wasn't appropriate for the Sabbath. When the show debuted on Fox, my family lived so far into the boonies, we didn't even get Fox.
It doesn’t matter that they’re dying because they’ve found something to watch on television, and the anxiety of everything that they’ve gone through melts away. In "The Shinning," Homer’s drinking problem is the basis for his spiral into madness. His isolation from the rest of the world isn't the problem, as it was for Jack Torrance in The Shining; it's his obvious withdrawal from it. Left sober and without any form of entertainment, Homer must confront the demons in his life. Surrounded by nothing but his family and in a constant state of annoyance, he turns into a monster.

And if I remember correctly, that's what happens to Homer when he has no TV or beer. He says "something something" because he can't remember the end of the rhyme. After more than a decade of anticipation, The Simpsons family is hitting the big screen in a full feature-length film.
His family runs from him, terrified of the man that he is when he’s not sedating himself. In context, "The Shinning" is one of the most horrific Treehouse of Horror segments and a perfect Halloween special. Yarn is the best way to find video clips by quote.
Many seasons worth of shows on syndication were new to me. On a great week, we would catch anywhere from 5 to 8 new episodes, sometimes at the rate of two a day. Alcoholism isn't the only concern addressed in "The Shinning." Homer’s couch-potato syndrome is another element of the series frequently used to present a joke — just think of the episode where Homer has to work on getting his butt groove back. In this Treehouse of Horror segment, Homer must confront the fact that television is as much an addiction as a source of entertainment. This may sound ludicrous, but it’s important to remember that this aired in the 1990s, during a cultural conversation about the physical and emotional reliance that comes from watching too much TV.

Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts. "The Shinning" has everything a Halloween special of a TV program should. It’s scary, it’s full of pop-culture references and it ties in nicely to the holiday.
