However, Homer's weight fluctuations cause problems for the production. A Hollywood studio makes a movie based on Comic Book Guy's comic book character "Everyman," and Homer is cast in the lead. "Homer the Whopper" has received mixed reviews from television critics and acquired a Nielsen rating of 4.3 in its original broadcast. After a month, Lyle considers that Homer can carry on by himself, but unsurprisingly, he doesn't. And it doesn't take long before Homer gets even fatter than before. The finished film becomes a fiasco, featuring Everyman portrayed fit and fat, back and forth.
The comic becomes an instant hit, and many Hollywood studios become interested in making it into a film. Comic Book Guy agrees to let Everyman become a film, but only if he can pick the star. When Comic Book Guy sees Homer, he considers Homer perfect for the role, as he wants Everyman to be played by a middle-aged fat man.
Seasons & Episodes
Rogen commented that he and Goldberg wanted to show with the episode how Hollywood generally ruins superhero films. Show runner Al Jean commented that the writers tried not to repeat the comic book film theme from the "Radioactive Man" episode. Instead they decided to parody the fact that almost every comic book has been turned into a film. Jean commented that that scene in the episode in which the studio executives "are trying to think up an idea that hasn't been done really is what they are doing these days ." The table read took place in August 2008, and production on the episode began soon after that. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening also makes an appearance in the episode.
They were invited to the writers room where they pitched several episode ideas. Rogen later said, "we sat down for a read-through and three hours later I'm in a studio improv-ing with Homer Simpson, it was the single greatest day of my life." Comic Book Guy's comic book hero, Everyman that Homer is disguising himself as, becomes a big hit in Springfield and he agrees to a movie version. Comic Book Guy insists that he chooses who plays the lead role and gives the part to Homer. However, the movie company hire a personal trainer for Homer, known as Lyle McCarthy, so that he can get fit for the part.

When Lyle leaves, Homer puts on weight again and the movie is a disaster. The company offers CBG the chance to direct a sequel if he pretends he liked the movie but he criticizes it. "Homer the Whopper" is the first episode of the twenty-first season of The Simpsons. In this episode, Homer gets the leading role on a superhero movie based on a character created by the Comic Book Guy.

Soon afterwards, however, McCarthy leaves Homer for another client. Without McCarthy to keep him fit, Homer starts eating again and gains all the weight back.

Homer is cast as the lead in Everyman, a super hero movie written by Comic Book Guy. But the newly christened actor has trouble staying on the exercise and diet regimen that his provided fitness trainer lays out for him. I like the idea and i thought the Itunes preview was funny, even the vomit scene, kinda. Of course, the rest of the episode may not be good because I haven't seen it yet, so I won't expect an excellent episode, but a good one. Steve Fritz of Newsarama called the episode "amazing" and commented that the "overall comic book theme was perfect."
The plot sounds like another "Homer goes into a wachy job" episode and the previews weren't so great. I haven't had lofty expectations for the show in years, but it'll interesting to see I guess. The plot and the aired stuff seem to be a mixed bag, but hopefully the good will exceed the bad. Last season there weren't many Homer job episodes but I agree it keeps getting really annoying.

But the fact that Seth later starred in The Green Hornet that he had to lose weight for. Plus, unless you were in show business, you will not find the "Love you....I hate him" joke funny. The writers might have found the joke funny, but the audience don't. Homer getting into shape was done in "King of the Hill", no, not the Mike Judge show, but the episode where Homer has to climb the mountain. When asked about his binge eating, Homer says "Well, you don't always have time to masturbate." Reruns of this episode bleep the word "masturbate".
While CBG is offered more creative control over the sequel, he refuses and badmouths the film online, ensuring that his character will never again see the light of day. In the twenty first season premiere, written by Seth Rogen, Comic Book Guy's comic, Everyman, becomes popular and it's made into a movie. Homer is cast as the lead role, but struggles staying in shape for the role. Since airing, "Homer the Whopper" has received mixed to positive reviews from television critics.

After learning that The Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks was a fan of Superbad, they decided to ask the producers of the show if they could write an episode. In 2006, Ricky Gervais, co-creator of The Office, received credit for writing the season 17 episode "Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife". Rogen and Goldberg "thought if got to write one, maybe could try." They were invited to The Simpsons writers room, where they pitched several episode ideas. One was accepted, and they wrote an outline with the help of some feedback from the regular writers. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, writers of the film Superbad, asked the producers of The Simpsons if they could write an episode.
The episode was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who are "obsessed" fans of the show, and directed by Lance Kramer. "Homer The Whopper" was intended to be a commentary on how Hollywood treats superhero films. Rogen also guest stars in the episode as the character Lyle McCarthy, making him the second guest star to both write an episode and appear in it; Ricky Gervais was the first.
