In the 16th season of The Simpsons, episode 7 named "Mommie Beerest," the audience is taken on a comedic ride as they follow Marge's journey to becoming a beer baroness. The episode begins with Marge feeling undervalued and underappreciated, leading her to seek comfort at the local bar. Here, she discovers a new beer that she promptly falls in love with. However, when the beer is discontinued due to its unprofitability, she takes it upon herself to make it herself with her own secret ingredients.
Marge's initial attempts are unsuccessful, but she refuses to give up. Soon, she develops an addictive beer that not only becomes popular in Springfield but also attracts the attention of a group of businesswomen named "Ladies Beer Association." They offer to help Marge take her beer to the next level, but she soon realizes that this group is not what it seems. They are not interested in helping her but rather in stealing her recipe to make a profit.
As Marge's popularity and brewery success grow, she experiences a conflict with her mother Jacqueline, who has a history of undermining Marge's successes. Jacqueline is jealous of Marge's newfound success and ultimately retaliates by starting her own beer business, leading to a hilarious competition between mother and daughter.
Meanwhile, Homer falls in love with a Japanese snack called Pocky and becomes obsessed with it. This obsession becomes so extreme that he breaks one of the commandments by coveting his neighbor's Pocky. This hilarious and relatable subplot adds extra laughs to an already hilarious episode.
As always, The Simpsons delivers a clever and entertaining episode, filled with quippy one-liners and subtle references that the show is known for. The energetic and hilarious voice acting by the voice cast, particularly Julie Kavner as Marge, elevates the script's humor to another level.
Overall, "Mommie Beerest" is a fun and relatable episode that explores themes of female empowerment, following one's passion, and finding success in unexpected places. Fans of the show will enjoy Marge's journey to becoming a beer baroness and the hilarious antics and subplots that ensue.
