Additions to ListGenBot list 'SimpsonsTriviaS10':

Homer: (to Marge) "Who am I? Kreskin?" When Marge is puzzling about what Bart might be doing in his tree-house she asks Homer what he thinks, and in a very short quip he mentions Kreskin. George Kresge, better known as "The Amazing Kreskin," (b. January 12, 1935 in Montclair, New Jersey) is a mentalist, popular on North American television in the 1970s and still busy as a live performer. He appears annually on New Years Day on CNN to give his predictions for the upcoming year. Perhaps his best known trick is finding the check for his performance fee, which he instructs his hosts to hide before each show. He has only failed to find the check nine times.
Nelson (to Bart): "You're an octowussy!" This is a pun on the title of the 1983 James Bond movie Octopussy.
The episode's title and basic plot – Bart killing a mother bird with his BB gun – are taken from the classic Andy Griffith Show episode "Opie the Birdman" (wherein Opie adopts three baby birds after he kills their mother with a slingshot).
Inside the arcade of the Family Fun Center, there is a game called "Pack-Rat Returns"; a reference to the arcade game "Peter Packrat".
When Nelson goes inside to cook lunch on a frying pan after Bart kills the bird, he is seen humming the theme song to the show itself.
The title itself refers to the dance show Lord of the Dance.
Alex tells Lisa not to be a "Phoebe". Guest star Lisa Kudrow is best known for her role as Phoebe Buffay on Friends. She also tells Lisa that she loves her name.

The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace

When Homer is reading about Edison at the library, one of the books on the table is called A Child's Garden Of Edison. This is a parody on A Child's Garden of Verses, a book of poetry by Robert Louis Stevenson.
The title is a take on Thomas Edison's nickname "The Wizard of Menlo Park," which was his home.
The electric hammer that Homer invents is very similar to one invented by the father in the 1984 film Gremlins. The character in the film also had a reputation for inventions that either didn't work, or only worked for a couple of weeks.
At Homer's imagined funeral, alongside President Lenny, Bishop Flanders, and multiple-Oscar-winner Barney Gumble, are the Robot from Lost in Space and, inexplicably, Heckle and Jeckle.
"Hell Toupée" is loosely based on the Wes Craven film Shocker, as well as the Amazing Stories episode also called "Hell Toupée." The ending, spoofing the horror convention of the ever-undying villain, specifically parodies the end of the 1988 film Child's Play, about a doll, Chucky, inhabited by the soul of a serial killer, plus that take its ending. Also, the plot's aspect of a innocent patient having serial killer parts transplanted onto them is very similar to 1991's Body Parts, directed by Eric Red.
Some of the plot from "The Terror of Tiny Toon" is similar to the 1998 movie Pleasantville as well as from segment #3 of "Twilight Zone - The Movie", which was the same segment that contained Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) getting trapped and killed in a TV cartoon. Also the Dark Comedy "Stay Tuned" and the sixth film of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series have cartoon/video game sequences. The title of the episode comes from the 1938 western/comedy movie The Terror of Tiny Town and possibly from the series Tiny Toon Adventures.
The title of "Starship Poopers" is a parody of the novel Starship Troopers. Maggie kills Jerry Springer in a similar fashion to Alien.

When You Dish upon a Star

Homer's rant about "appearing in commercials dancing with vacuum cleaners" is a reference to a 1997 TV advertisement that depicted Fred Astaire dancing with a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner.
Homer: "We can't even pay our bills, and they're drinking Royal Crown Cola!" Royal Crown Cola is a cheaper brand than Pepsi or Coke, so Homer is really just being irritated for no good reason.
Apu's sandcastle is a very detailed replica of India's famous Taj Mahal.
PETA is an animal-rights group whose name stands for People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals. They have several celebrity members.
Homer's dream is a spoof of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear. When he falls asleep again he starts thinking he's Magilla Gorilla.
Homer angrily addresses Ron Howard as "Potsie" (another Happy Days character) and "Horshack" (a character from Welcome Back, Kotter).
The ripples in their water when the crowd of people come is a reference to Jurrasic Park.

The ice cream flavors are named after Jerry Garcia (the Grateful Dead's lead singer), Sonny Bono (of Sonny and Cher) and Archbishop Desmond Tutu (South African anti-apartheid activist and Nobel Prize Winner). There's also a flavor called Milli Vanilla, a reference to Milli Vanilli, the infamous musicians who had to give up their Grammy Award after it was revealed that someone else sang their songs and all the duo did was lip-synch. Cherry Garcia is an allusion to Ben & Jerry's, an ice cream company that give their ice cream flavors amusing names, like Cherry Garcia. Lisa also mentions a flavour called Candy Warhol, named after Andy Warhol; Homer tells her nothing "made of dead guys".

Sunday, Cruddy Sunday

The title of this episode comes from the U2 song "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
The name Wally Kogen is a nod to Simpsons writing team Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky, who penned the previous Super Bowl episode, "Lisa the Greek". Football players named Kogen and Wolodarsky were also mentioned in "The Telltale Head", "Bart vs. Thanksgiving" and "When Flanders Failed".
The "Vincent Price's Egg Magic" kit is a reference to the "Vincent Price's Shrunken Head" kits, which were a popular toy in the 1970s. The set allowed you to turn a peeled apple into a "shrunken head" of sorts using the provided tools and some household items.

The Old Man and the "C" Student

There are many instances which parody the 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest:
- A Native American character, 'Chief' smashes a window to escape using a heavy object which was part of a water dispenser (even though the door was open).
- Bart takes the members of the old folks home out on a boat trip as a break from their tedious routine.
- The old folks home has a "medication time".
- The primary nurse in the old folks home resembles the character Nurse Ratched from said film.
This is one of three title puns on The Old Man and the Sea; the two other are The Old Man and the Lisa and The Old Man and the Key.
Aboard the Gone Fission II, Smithers is seen drawing Mr. Burns naked, reclining on a chaise longue, but Burns is seen dressed. This is a parody of the scene in Titanic where Jack Dawson draws Rose DeWitt Bukater nude.
The seniors at the retirement castle watch a seniors-edited (and redubbed) version of Gone with the Wind.The movie was almost sixty years old when this episode aired.
The scene where Bart frees the seniors and they "frolic" outside of the home is a parody of The Beatles' movie A Hard Day's Night.

The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace

When Homer is reading about Edison at the library, one of the books on the table is called A Child's Garden Of Edison. This is a parody on A Child's Garden of Verses, a book of poetry by Robert Louis Stevenson.
The title is a take on Thomas Edison's nickname "The Wizard of Menlo Park," which was his home.
The electric hammer that Homer invents is very similar to one invented by the father in the 1984 film Gremlins. The character in the film also had a reputation for inventions that either didn't work, or only worked for a couple of weeks.
At Homer's imagined funeral, alongside President Lenny, Bishop Flanders, and multiple-Oscar-winner Barney Gumble, are the Robot from Lost in Space and, inexplicably, Heckle and Jeckle.

They Saved Lisa's Brain

The episode title is a joke off the odd Brazilian science fiction movie, They Saved Hitler's Brain.
The scene where the Mensans decide to hold a Renaissance-themed meeting in the park, in costume and in character, is possibly based upon the Society for Creative Anachronism: a historical reenactment group devoted to studying the Middle Ages. SCA members not only have a strong reputation for being intellectuals, but their gatherings are often held in public parks. This can and does lead to the occasional conflict with a 21st-century lout who adopts a hostile towards the group's presence and activities -- such as when Lenny and Carl refuse to give up the gazebo.
The erotic photographer is modeled after famous Rolling Stone Magazine photographer Annie Leibovitz.
The Comic Book Guy's T-Shirt-joke "C:/DOS C:/DOS/RUN RUN/DOS/RUN" refers to the American children's book series Dick and Jane, where the phrases "See Spot. See Spot Run. Run, Spot, Run" were moulded.

Thirty Minutes over Tokyo

The gameshow which the Simpsons take part in to win tickets back home is an extremely over the top parody of Japanese gameshows. Although not even close to being as brutal as depicted in this episode, Japanese gameshows are notorious for being very unusual, some demanding a lot of awkward physical activity from its participants. Of partial note is the passing resemblance of the bridge over the volcano to the Takeshi's Castle game bridge ball
In the scene at Moe's Tavern, when Barney is impersonating Homer, one of the phrases he says is "That boy ain't right!" This is a phrase Hank Hill often said on King of the Hill to describe his son, Bobby.
The episode's title is a reference to a song by Pere Ubu called "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" or to the 1944 film Thirty Seconds over Tokyo. Both the film and the song are based on the quick US bombardments on Tokyo during the Second World War, called Dolittle Raid.
The fish that Bart kills during his job in Osaka is a reference to the fable The Fisherman and His Wife.
Americatown features pictures of the Kool-Aid Man, Uncle Sam, and Elvis on the sign. It's decorated with other pictures of a star, a gun, a pie, a guitar, a baseball bat, and a baseball. Inside animatronic figures are seen: E.T. seems to be pointing up Marilyn Monroe's flying skirt, Abe Lincoln dances with the Statue of Liberty, and Muhammad Ali fighting Neil Armstrong.
When Marge says to Homer on the plane that she liked Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa, Homer claims he doesn't remember it that way. The underlying joke is that this famous film is about people remembering different things about the same event.
The Battling Seizure Robots is a reference to the Pokémon episode Electric Soldier Porygon. The flashing lights (caused by an exploding rockets attack) during that episode caused seizures throughout Japan, resulted in the brief hospitalization of hundreds of children, especially those with epilepsy. The episode was later banned, though nowadays, most countries often include a warning about some TV programmes containing flashing images that might affect epileptic viewers.
The square watermelon Homer buys is a reference to the real ones that exist in Japan.
One of the lights (seatbelt, smoking) on the plane is Godzilla and lights when he attacks.
Lisa spots the Hello Kitty factory.
Chuck Garabedian is a real name of a talk show host in Milwaukee, WI.

Treehouse of Horror IX

"Hell Toupée" is loosely based on the Wes Craven film Shocker, as well as the Amazing Stories episode also called "Hell Toupée." The ending, spoofing the horror convention of the ever-undying villain, specifically parodies the end of the 1988 film Child's Play, about a doll, Chucky, inhabited by the soul of a serial killer, plus that take its ending.

Sunday, Cruddy Sunday

This episode was animated long before anyone knew who would go to Super Bowl XXXIII. The producers emphasized this by the deliberately obvious audio splicing in Moe's Tavern, and the awkward way the men held the beer mugs in front of their mouths (so you couldn't read their lips).
This episode took place around the time of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. This is referenced in the audio splicing in the bar, "I hear President Clinton (muffled) is going to be there with his wife Hillary, the producers suggesting that they did not know who would be in office when the episode aired.
It also referenced in Al Gore measuring up the Oval office curtains when Homer hangs up on President Clinton's congratulatory phone call.
On the tour of the post office, Nelson asks Postmaster Bill "Ever been on a killing spree?". This alludes to the act of going postal.
The song that is played while Homer waits for his car is the popular "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Coincidentally, Julius Wechter, who wrote that tune, died the next day when the episode first aired.
The coach in Homer's fantasy about going to the Super Bowl bears a striking similarity to long-time Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry.
The show features a deliberate obfuscation of the location of Springfield. When Marge is on the phone with the Vincent Price's Egg Magic people, she is instructed to leave her address in order to get feet that were advertised on the box as being included but had been left out. Marge says the beginning of the address but when she gets to the city and state, Maude walks into view causing Marge to say, "Springfield...Oh, Hi ya, Maude!" (Obviously meant to sound like "Ohio".)

Thirty Minutes over Tokyo

Although a Japanese-dub of The Simpsons has been produced for many years, this episode has never aired in Japan. According to the DVD commentary for "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington", this episode didn't air in Japan because of the scene where Homer hurls the Emperor of Japan into a pile of used "sumo thongs."
In the Japanese version of the series, Homer usually says "D'oh" as opposed to the phrase heard in this episode, (shimatta-baka-ni or damn it stupid!) but when the subtitle is shown it reads D'oh.

As the Simpsons go into Hell, the AC/DC song Highway to Hell is playing. (Simpsons Bible Stories)
At Homer's imagined funeral, alongside President Lenny, Bishop Flanders, and multiple-Oscar-winner Barney Gumble, are the Robot from Lost in Space and, inexplicably, Heckle and Jeckle. (The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace)
Chuck Garabedian is a real name of a talk show host in Milwaukee, WI. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
Lisa spots the Hello Kitty factory. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
The Battling Seizure Robots is a reference to the Pokémon episode Electric Soldier Porygon. The flashing lights (caused by an exploding rockets attack) during that episode caused seizures throughout Japan, resulted in the brief hospitalization of hundreds of children, especially those with epilepsy. The episode was later banned, though nowadays, most countries often include a warning about some TV programmes containing flashing images that might affect epileptic viewers. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
The gameshow which the Simpsons take part in to win tickets back home is an extremely over the top parody of Japanese gameshows. Although not even close to being as brutal as depicted in this episode, Japanese gameshows are notorious for being very unusual, some demanding a lot of awkward physical activity from its participants. Of partial note is the passing resemblance of the bridge over the volcano to the Takeshi's Castle game bridge ball (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
The electric hammer that Homer invents is very similar to one invented by the father in the 1984 film Gremlins. The character in the film also had a reputation for inventions that either didn't work, or only worked for a couple of weeks. (The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace)
The square watermelon Homer buys is a reference to the real ones that exist in Japan. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
The title is a take on Thomas Edison's nickname "The Wizard of Menlo Park," which was his home. (The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace)
When Homer is reading about Edison at the library, one of the books on the table is called A Child's Garden Of Edison. This is a parody on A Child's Garden of Verses, a book of poetry by Robert Louis Stevenson. (The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace)
When Marge says to Homer on the plane that she liked Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa, Homer claims he doesn't remember it that way. The underlying joke is that this famous film is about people remembering different things about the same event. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
When Nelson/Golitah falls off the tower parodies the way King Kong falls off the Empire State Building in the 1933 film. (Simpsons Bible Stories)
"Hell Toupée" is loosely based on the Wes Craven film Shocker, as well as the Amazing Stories episode also called "Hell Toupée." The ending, spoofing the horror convention of the ever-undying villain, specifically parodies the end of the 1988 film Child's Play, about a doll, Chucky, inhabited by the soul of a serial killer, plus that take its ending. Also, the plot's aspect of a innocent patient having serial killer parts transplanted onto them is very similar to 1991's Body Parts, directed by Eric Red. (Treehouse of Horror IX)
- A Native American character, 'Chief' smashes a window to escape using a heavy object which was part of a water dispenser (even though the door was open). (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
- Bart takes the members of the old folks home out on a boat trip as a break from their tedious routine. (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
- The old folks home has a "medication time". (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
- The primary nurse in the old folks home resembles the character Nurse Ratched from said film. (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
Aboard the Gone Fission II, Smithers is seen drawing Mr. Burns naked, reclining on a chaise longue, but Burns is seen dressed. This is a parody of the scene in Titanic where Jack Dawson draws Rose DeWitt Bukater nude. (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
Americatown features pictures of the Kool-Aid Man, Uncle Sam, and Elvis on the sign. It's decorated with other pictures of a star, a gun, a pie, a guitar, a baseball bat, and a baseball. Inside animatronic figures are seen: E.T. seems to be pointing up Marilyn Monroe's flying skirt, Abe Lincoln dances with the Statue of Liberty, and Muhammad Ali fighting Neil Armstrong. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
In the Moses segment, Chief Wiggum resembles Edward G. Robinson's character from The Ten Commandments. (Simpsons Bible Stories)
In the scene at Moe's Tavern, when Barney is impersonating Homer, one of the phrases he says is "That boy ain't right!" This is a phrase Hank Hill often said on King of the Hill to describe his son, Bobby. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
One of the lights (seatbelt, smoking) on the plane is Godzilla and lights when he attacks. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
Some of the plot from "The Terror of Tiny Toon" is similar to the 1998 movie Pleasantville as well as from segment #3 of "Twilight Zone - The Movie", which was the same segment that contained Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) getting trapped and killed in a TV cartoon. Also the Dark Comedy "Stay Tuned" and the sixth film of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series have cartoon/video game sequences. The title of the episode comes from the 1938 western/comedy movie The Terror of Tiny Town and possibly from the series Tiny Toon Adventures. (Treehouse of Horror IX)
The "Vincent Price's Egg Magic" kit is a reference to the "Vincent Price's Shrunken Head" kits, which were a popular toy in the 1970s. The set allowed you to turn a peeled apple into a "shrunken head" of sorts using the provided tools and some household items. (Sunday, Cruddy Sunday)
The Comic Book Guy's T-Shirt-joke "C:/DOS C:/DOS/RUN RUN/DOS/RUN" refers to the American children's book series Dick and Jane, where the phrases "See Spot. See Spot Run. Run, Spot, Run" were moulded. (They Saved Lisa's Brain)
The episode title is a joke off the odd Brazilian science fiction movie, They Saved Hitler's Brain. (They Saved Lisa's Brain)
The episode's title is a reference to a song by Pere Ubu called "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" or to the 1944 film Thirty Seconds over Tokyo. Both the film and the song are based on the quick US bombardments on Tokyo during the Second World War, called Dolittle Raid. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
The erotic photographer is modeled after famous Rolling Stone Magazine photographer Annie Leibovitz. (They Saved Lisa's Brain)
The fish that Bart kills during his job in Osaka is a reference to the fable The Fisherman and His Wife. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
The name Wally Kogen is a nod to Simpsons writing team Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky, who penned the previous Super Bowl episode, "Lisa the Greek". Football players named Kogen and Wolodarsky were also mentioned in "The Telltale Head", "Bart vs. Thanksgiving" and "When Flanders Failed". (Sunday, Cruddy Sunday)
The scene where Bart frees the seniors and they "frolic" outside of the home is a parody of The Beatles' movie A Hard Day's Night. (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
The scene where Marge/Eve is making tools is similar to a scene in the Dawn of Man sequence from the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. (Simpsons Bible Stories)
The scene where the Mensans decide to hold a Renaissance-themed meeting in the park, in costume and in character, is possibly based upon the Society for Creative Anachronism: a historical reenactment group devoted to studying the Middle Ages. SCA members not only have a strong reputation for being intellectuals, but their gatherings are often held in public parks. This can and does lead to the occasional conflict with a 21st-century lout who adopts a hostile towards the group's presence and activities -- such as when Lenny and Carl refuse to give up the gazebo. (They Saved Lisa's Brain)
The seniors at the retirement castle watch a seniors-edited (and redubbed) version of Gone with the Wind.The movie was almost sixty years old when this episode aired. (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
The title of "Starship Poopers" is a parody of the novel Starship Troopers. Maggie kills Jerry Springer in a similar fashion to Alien. (Treehouse of Horror IX)
The title of this episode comes from the U2 song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (Sunday, Cruddy Sunday)
There are many instances which parody the 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: (The Old Man and the "C" Student)
This is one of three title puns on The Old Man and the Sea; the two other are The Old Man and the Lisa and The Old Man and the Key. (The Old Man and the "C" Student)

Although a Japanese-dub of The Simpsons has been produced for many years, this episode has never aired in Japan. According to the DVD commentary for "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington", this episode didn't air in Japan because of the scene where Homer hurls the Emperor of Japan into a pile of used "sumo thongs." (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)
In the Japanese version of the series, Homer usually says "D'oh" as opposed to the phrase heard in this episode, (shimatta-baka-ni or damn it stupid!) but when the subtitle is shown it reads D'oh. (Thirty Minutes over Tokyo)

The show features a deliberate obfuscation of the location of Springfield. When Marge is on the phone with the Vincent Price's Egg Magic people, she is instructed to leave her address in order to get feet that were advertised on the box as being included but had been left out. Marge says the beginning of the address but when she gets to the city and state, Maude walks into view causing Marge to say, "Springfield...Oh, Hi ya, Maude!" (Obviously meant to sound like "Ohio".) (Sunday, Cruddy Sunday)
The song playing over the end credits is Highway to Hell by AC/DC. (Simpsons Bible Stories)
The song that is played while Homer waits for his car is the popular "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Coincidentally, Julius Wechter, who wrote that tune, died the next day when the episode first aired. (Sunday, Cruddy Sunday)
The song that plays while Homer and the guys run through the stadium is "Song 2" by Blur (Sunday, Cruddy Sunday)
This episode took place around the time of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal.

(Sunday, Cruddy Sunday)
This episode was animated long before anyone knew who would go to Super Bowl XXXIII. The producers emphasized this by the deliberately obvious audio splicing in Moe's Tavern, and the awkward way the men held the beer mugs in front of their mouths (so you couldn't read their lips).
