The idea of the episode is simple — Homer Simpson becomes a union leader to fight for his dental plan — but it spawns endless jokes, movie and TV parodies, and even a folk song. Outlets from USA...
The Simpsons has a lot of great "mirror moments" where you can see how incredibly detailed the animation has to be when a character is in front of a mirror. Here's my favorite one:
- The Great Escape – A Streetcar Named Marge
- 2001: A Space Odyssey – Deep Space Homer
- Crocodile Dundee – Bart vs Australia
- Night of The Hunter – Cape Feare
- Batman: Last Exit to Springfield
Maggie Simpson’s finest moment comes in this parody of John Sturges’ The Great Escape. When she gets left in the Ayn Rand School for Tots while Marge takes up acting, she soon rebels against the disciplinarian regime of the day-care’s owner, Ms Sinclair. When Maggie breaks the rules regarding pacifiers, she gets sent to “the box,” a clear play on S...
Kubrick’s Sci-Fi classic is referenced countless times on The Simpsons but perhaps the finest example comes when Homer takes an eventful trip into space. After Homer foolishly opens a bag of crisps (or potato chips for any Americans reading), his fellow astronauts becomes concerned that they will clog up the instruments. Homer then begins a gracefu...
This may not be the most clever example on this list, but it is certainly among the funniest. When the family visit Australia they find themselves in a typical Aussie bar. When Bart starts playing with a flick-knife, a gruff looking local approaches him and repeats the legendary line from Paul Hogan’s Crocodile Dundee, “that’s not a knife, thisis a...
This brief but clever tribute to Robert Mitchum’s character in Night Of The Hunteris one of several great references throughout this episode. In the original movie, Mitchum’s dangerous preacher has ‘Love’ and ‘Hate’ tattooed on his knuckles. In this case however, due to the characters only having three fingers to work with, Sideshow Bob instead mer...
When Lisa discovers she requires braces, her hopes for a shiny new discreet set is quickly tarnished as she is instead forced to wear a horrific eyesore that better suits the family’s tight budget. As she comes to from the anaesthetic, Lisa demands that the dentist passes her a mirror so she can see what he has done. Upon seeing her own shocking re...
Dec 14, 2020 · This will help you consider how your protagonist is pre-mirror moment, vs. post-mirror moment. The mirror moment gets the protagonist on the proper trajectory to overcome his inner demons, flaws, weaknesses, or misbeliefs by the end.
Lisa is the first to arrive at home as the garage door opens, jumping off her bike with her things, letting it roll into the garage, and running for the front door. Homer pulls into the driveway and parks, after which Bart bounces his skateboard off the car roof and follows Lisa toward the door.
- Homer is still in a coma. One of the earliest "Simpsons" fan theories even predates Reddit. On April Fools' Day 1993, fans got the classic episode "So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show" (Season 4, Episode 18), which concluded with Homer waking up from a seven-week coma.
- Homer is still collecting royalties from the Be Sharps. The Season 5 premiere, "Homer's Barbershop Quartet," planted a seed for a theory that explains how Homer can live such a good life despite having a low wage, menial job.
- Hans Moleman is multiple mole men. Hans Moleman, everyone's favorite elderly sad sack, always seems to be nearby whenever a "Simpsons" joke needs a physical comedy payoff — or somebody to die.
- The Simpsons live in Springfield, Maine. For decades, the "Simpsons" writers have played a sort of "Whack-A-Mole" game with fans. Every time viewers think they have a lead on which state the show's Springfield is located in (33 out of 50 states has one, so there are plenty of candidates), another clue jokingly contradicts it.
