== Synopsis ==
The title card "20 Years Ago" appears on the screen, Meanwhile, Homer calls the family to gather around for a portrait. They do not listen and resume their daily routines. Homer calls them up again but they still do not listen. The family finally gathers around when he shouts for them to make a portrait. Homer sets the camera for the automatic timer. However, he arrives in the shot to late and ends up blocking Marge and having Bart and Maggie out of the shot. The next shot, Bart and Lisa are already bored and want Homer to be a lot quicker so that they could resume their daily routines. He wants the family to be closer so everyone can get in the picture although they become too close eventually and everyone looks really weird smooshed together. In the final shot, Homer tells the family this is the last picture on the roll. Homer sets the timer but Bart makes faces to get Homer annoyed. Then everyone is smiling, however Bart keeps making faces which messes up the final shot as an annoyed Homer strangles him while Maggie and Lisa make faces and Marge falls asleep.
