That swimming pool episode thread gave me an idea. I have been a fan of the show since I was little. What I didn't know then was that a number of jokes from the show were parodies of movies and TV shows from before. Obviously I didn't get to watch a lot of movies back then, so a number of things I didn't understand. Like the episode where Homer and Ned become best friends. In one part of the episode, Homer wants to play golf with Ned but Ned and his family try to get away. Homer, with golf clubs in hands, chases after the car. Maude says something along the lines of "Can't this thing go any faster?" and Ned replies, "I can't, it's a Geo." Homer jumps and manages to wedge a golf club into the car's rear bumper and drags him. The family manage to get away from him. Several years later I discovered what the spoof was. That was a parody of a similar scene in Terminator 2. In that part of the movie, Sarah, John Conner, and the T-800 flee the T-1000 with the vehicle. The T-1000 has the ability to change shape. He chases the car and makes his arms turn into hooks. He then jumps and wedges them into the car's rear bumper. When asked to make the car go faster, the T800 says, "This is the vehicle's top speed." They manage to fend him off. See where I'm getting at?

At the end of the episode, "Marge on the Lam", Marge and her next-door neighbor flee the pursuing cops and homer by car. The ladies stop their vehicle but the police car runs off the cliff and there is a bright flash followed by a shot of Homer and Wiggum on top of a landfill. That is a spoof of "Thelma and Louise."

Anyone know of any others?

I know I've seen some, but I'm drawin' a blank right now, yo.

Every episode is a spoof or parode of something film, Tv show, someone fameous
;)

They have like, a million Friday the 13th references!!!

"Here come the clones" from the halloween special a few years ago was a spoof of Attack of the Clones, the second star wars prequel.

How about inconsistencies more than spoofs? There are so many of them, its funny. The only thing that has remained constant is Lisa's vegeterianism and her change to Buddhism.

Like I said, A MILLLION Friday the 13th references.
There's some from uhh, ummm, Friday the 13th.
There's also some frum, ummm, uhhh, uhhhhhhh, Friday the 13th. OH AND NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2!!!!

How about the transformers Tree House of Horror segment!!!

"Who Shot Mr. Burns" was a take-off of the "Dallas" Cliffhanger "Who Shot JR", which I would like to make an episode of "Bertstown" about ("Bertstown" is a show that I'm trying to work on and have it on Adult Swim).

"Simpsoncalifragiouliouspiexiclid'ohcious" is a total take-off of "Mary Poppins".

In "South Park"-there's an episode called "Simpsons Already Did It" which makes a reference to the "Treehouse of Horror" short "The Genesis Tub" which was used in "The Twilight Zone" segment "The Little People".
