Wasn't just v-day, either.
Easter dialogue about how foolish we are to hope for a pattern, and how much the randomness sucks but they gave it to us anyway:
Homer: Must get every Easter Box prize… Must complete set… Life meaningless until all are mine…
Bart: Snap out of it, man! Quit letting a randomized outcome rule your life.
Homer: Oh, it’s not random. There’s a pattern, I’m sure of it. Just like there’s a pattern to how we walk around town… I assume.
Bart: Maybe you should just go to work. Then you could earn enough money to buy the things you want outright.
Homer: What’s the point of that? There’s no drama, no delectable tension. Besides, Mr. Burns told all his employees to take the month off and collect eggs.
Homer: Which I find in no way suspicious! Now shut up.
Homer: According to an online forum post I just read, the next Easter Box I buy is guaranteed to pay off big! Guaranteed!
Dialogue about how much the event sucks and how lazy they are about making it not suck, and also we're all helpless sheep:
Homer: Haven't thought about it. I'm simply obeying my brain's deep-seated, irrational impulse to collect things. It's a weakness we all share, and one evil game designers are expert at exploiting. Thanks, game designers!
But why are we talking, when we could be collecting?
Stranger: Pssst... I'll tell you what you can do with them. Collect enough eggs and I'll trade you a mysterious box from my extensive collection of rare objects from around the world
Homer: Ooh! More collecting! Pretty sweet…
Lisa: Dad, is this really the most productive way to spend your time?
Homer: Lisa, someday you'll understand that collecting things so you can trade them in for collectibles from some dude's collection is the only way to feel good about yourself.
Lisa: But they're random prizes, Dad. What if you just get a bunch of fences?
Home: Hey yeah, I hate winning fences!
Stranger: If you suck out and get a total of 50 Easter fences from boxes, I'll also give you a free 15 donuts.
Homer: 15 donuts?! Holy crap! I love winning fences!!!
