“The Simpsons” season 37 episode tackles AI cheating and Chalmers’ slime craze
A new episode of The Simpsons, titled “Keep Chalm and Gary On”, aired on October 5, 2025, blending absurd humor with timely social commentary.
The episode explores artificial intelligence in education, consumer trends, and classic Springfield chaos with the show’s signature wit.
The story begins at Springfield Elementary, where Bart earns an A on an assignment, only for Lisa to discover he used an AI program called CheatGPT.
When she confronts him, she tells Homer to intervene. In a humorous twist, Homer unknowingly reads advice generated by CheatGPT, poking fun at society’s growing reliance on AI.
Chaos escalates as the teachers implement a detection system called Teacher’s Net to curb AI cheating, but the students quickly outsmart it.
Principal Skinner’s unusual “banana option,” which hides banana-related words in assignments, backfires spectacularly, culminating in a prank war where students flood the teachers’ lounge with bananas.
Meanwhile, Superintendent Chalmers faces accusations of plagiarism linked to AI and is forced out of his job. Downcast, he ends up at Moe’s Tavern before Homer offers him a maintenance position at the nuclear power plant.
While working in the tunnels, Chalmers discovers a colony of mutated snails producing slime with miraculous cosmetic properties. Seizing the opportunity, he launches a skincare brand called Escarbro, which sweeps Springfield in a frenzy.
As the craze spirals out of control, Chalmers attempts to shut down his own creation. The episode culminates in a comedic showdown where Homer uses chips to neutralize the snails, ending the Escarbro craze.
Fans praised the episode for its sharp satire and nostalgic charm. From the CheatGPT school subplot to the snail slime craze, “Keep Chalm and Gary On” delivers absurd humor, social commentary, and creative storytelling that longtime viewers have come to love.
