On last night's episode of The Simpsons, Homer learned that Lisa is a loner at school, and dedicated his time to making her more popular, with the help of the book Chicks With Cliques.

At first, Lisa was leery, saying that if she joined a clique, she'd be the kind of person she hates, but after watching Homer test out the book's methods — "unsults" (insults disguised as compliments), "envytations," "hate hugs" — on his friends at Moe's with great success, she decided to try it out. The result: She made some Facebook friends! Clip at left.
