At the Simpsons’ annual dental check-up, Lisa gets an education in dental hygiene from a video starring Ludacris as a tube of toothpaste. When Homer purchases the 1-millionth ice cream cone, he is featured on Kent Brockman’s nightly news program. However, the innocent interview turns into trouble when Brockman uses a shocking expletive and Ned Flanders wages an anti-indecency campaign. The Simpsons take in the dejected Brockman, and he and Lisa begin to devise a scheme for the anchor to make his comeback.
