"The Simpsons" aired "Bart's New Friend" (Season 26, episode 11) on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2015. It was about Homer's regressions into his younger self with the aid of a hypnotist. Read on for "The Simpsons" Season 26 recap of episode 11 "Bart's New Friend" to find out what happened to Bart and his family.

"The Simpsons" Season 26, episode 11 "Bart's New Friend" was written by Judd Apatow and directed by Bob Anderson. Here's what happened in "Bart's New Friend." Homer Simpson (Dan Castellaneta) went to a hypnotist named Mr. Svenjamin Ghali, who ended up hypnotising him to believe that he is just 10 years old. Thankfully, the hypnotist got arrested. But, Homer got stuck in hypnosis and acted as if he was still 10 years old. In fact, he kind of enjoyed regressing into that state because he got to spend more time with his son Bart (Nancy Cartwright) and his daughter Lisa (Yeardley Smith). Plus, he got to avoid the trappings and numerous responsibilities of being an adult and a parent.

As part of Bart and Homer's bonding time, they went to Itchy & Scratchy Land and played Tunnel Tag. "The Simpsons" Season 26, episode 11 "Bart's New Friend" featured several guest stars including Stacy Keach, Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer.

Below are some funny lines that were featured in "Bart's New Friend."

"You've been working so hard lately, maybe you should take a break," Marge said to Homer in "The Simpsons" video posted on YouTube.

"No, Marge. If I lose my job in this economy, it's a death sentence. I guess as a fall back, I can direct films like Angelina Jolie," Homer said in the same video.
