Friend with Benefit

Kristen Bell as Harper Jambowski
David Copperfield as himself

"Friend with Benefit" is the sixth episode of the twenty-seventh season of the animated television series The Simpsons, and the 580th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on November 8, 2015.

The show opens with a short parody of the Disney short Feast entitled "Fat." Santa's Little Helper is fed scraps from the Simpsons' dinner table until he gets too fat and dies. He goes to Heaven and God offers him a choice between Fit Dog Heaven and Fat Dog Hell. Fat Dog Hell flashes a "Free Pizza" sign and Santa's Little Helper runs inside.

As the episode begins, Homer Simpson is watching TV when he sees an advertisement for a self-lifting chair. He gets interested in buying it, but it costs $1,100. Homer goes to Moe's Tavern to get some ideas to raise money. Lenny and Carl give him the idea for crowdfunding. He records a failed video for a website, which moves almost everyone in Springfield, so he gets enough money to buy a chair in almost no time.

Meanwhile, at Springfield Elementary's club sign-up day, Lisa Simpson is trying to get signatures for The Magic Club, where she first meets Harper Jambowski, who appears interested in joining the club, because it was the only one that doesn't creep her out. Lisa shows interest on her new friend, discovering that she's also a pretty talented magician. When the Springfieldians realize that their money was spent on such a useless item like the chair, they form a mob and go to the Simpsons' house to burn the chair down. At night, Homer gets angry about the chair, complaining that he never gets the finest things in life. That's when Lisa asks him to take her to an Australian boy band concert with Harper, as her father has bought the seats. Feeling confident, he takes Lisa to the show.
