The Simpsons - 'Viva Ned Flanders'

Homer shows Flanders how to enjoy life by taking him to Las Vegas.

While standing in the cashier's line at a car wash, Homer notices Ned Flanders being given a senior citizen's discount. Later, at church, Homer shocks the congregation by accusing Flanders of defrauding the car wash with his phony senior discount card. But Flanders reveals he is sixty years old… a statement backed up by his driver's license. He attributes his youthful appearance to clean living and resisting "all the major urges." Homer counters that his neighbor has never really lived a day in his life—words that hit home with the increasingly concerned Flanders.

Flanders asks Homer to show him how to have some fun. Homer tells him that the first rule is the ability to make snap decisions. He then drives Flanders to Las Vegas, where the pair encounters daredevil Lance Murdock. Homer volunteers himself for one of the cyclist's stunts—one in which he leaps over an audience member. Unfortunately, Homer chooses to ignore Murdock's instructions, sending the cyclist crashing into a wall. Afterward, Flanders admits that part of him wanted to see Homer injured in the stunt. Homer believes this is Flanders' first taste of bloodlust. Shortly thereafter, the pair heads for the casino tables. Homer loses a great deal of money, but easily shrugs off his misfortune. He explains that common sense can easily be dulled with a good dose of alcohol. He then escorts Flanders to a bar, where the pair order drinks from two sexy cocktail waitresses named Amber and Ginger. When the hung-over pair awakens in their hotel room the next morning, Amber and Ginger proudly display their new wedding rings.

Homer and Flanders realize they married the cocktail waitresses during their drunken night out on the town. They inform their new wives that they are already married… news that does not sit well with Amber and Ginger, who vow not to give up without a fight. Realizing there is no easy way out of the dilemma, Homer and Ned make a mad dash for the casino exit. Amber and Ginger give chase, and are soon aided by security guards, boxer Drederick Tatum and even the members of The Moody Blues. Thinking quickly, Homer hops inside a Corvette convertible surrounded by velvet ropes. But before he is able to flee, a swarm of employees descend upon him. He and Flanders are driven to the Nevada State line and thrown out of town.
