I don't think he was playing croquet at the time, so no sticky wicket.

The original poster, Mr Vidcapper, if that is his real name, was writing with

an English accent, so I went to a dictionary of English colloquialisms and found a few to insert into my response.

It's a joke. Do you get jokes? And, do you get the Simpsons reference in

this paragraph?

Mr. Museum

And I can't make a joke about them not playing croquet?

OK, OK, you can. But you have to spell your name correctly. BTW, I am not a real Museum.

One of my favorite images is from one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Homer finds a magic hammock that generates progressively dumber clones of him (including a Peter Griffin). Lisa asks Bart "Does Dad seem a little dumber than
usual". Cut to one of the Homer clones with a blank look on his face, bashing the car's grille with a bat.

That doesn't count. The hammock was cloning him, and each copy got
"weaker", ie dumber. It's not a surprise. Besides, it's a special
episode, when they returned to normal the following week, all of the
episode was forgotten.

Though what is interesting about that sequence is that they determine that they've ended up with a clone at the end, and Marge decides it doesn't
matter.

How about that time he got a crayon stuck in his brain? Haw haw. That sure made
him dumb.

The episode where Fat Tony's men were trying to shoot him when he was at the car dealership. The salesman told him that the bullet holes in the car were to
make the car go faster. In the next scene we see Homer banging holes into the hood of his car with a rock hammer.

It's the one where Homer got Fat Tony mad at him, but I can't remember the context. Was it the time Homer was the Mayor's bodyguard, and found the "melk" or whatever the rat's milk was called? Or maybe the time Homer got
Fat Tony to eliminate the competition from Marge's pretzel business, and
then wouldn't return the favor, so Homer became a target?

Then the Yakuza showed up for no apparent reason.

Of course it counts. It was on the Simpsons. It was Homer. It counts.
