Waiting for Duffman is a great Simpsons episode with a well written storyline and plenty of very funny scenes. I liked seeing Homer take over Duffman's job, it adds to his ridiculous resume that ranges from astronaut to bodyguard, and this was a very fun one that I'm surprised the show hadn't thought about previously. It's certainly not the greatest moment of the twenty sixth season, it had some weak moments and I didn't particularly like the part of him being shocked whenever he drank alcohol and the twist about it at the end, it was a poor part of the episode. However, it was nice to see Homer have a different view of alcohol for once, though it may have only been for a few minutes, watching Homer understand the dangers that beer can cause brought me some newfound sympathy for him, he is my favourite fictional character of all time and it's moments like those that just make me love him more. Waiting for Duffman is a very enjoyable Simpsons episode.

Homer must give up alcohol after winning a nationwide reality contest to become the next Duffman.

It's always fun to see Homer's latest crazy job, and this one definitely seems to be a fair edition to the collection. Yeah, I rated it a 9, because I absolutely LOVED all of the gags in this one. Homer's bursting eye was disgustingly funny, and the Simpsons kids ruining Ned's pictures of Maude was definitely the best scene in this episode, in my opinion.

It's a great episode and stays true to Homer's good old saying: Alcohol, the problem of and solution to most of life's problems. I'd love to see more of John Frink's writing in future episodes, because this one was really good in my opinion.
