The "Simpsons Refrence File" ver. 1.03.01

**** THE "SIMPSONS REFERENCE" FILE ****

V E R S I O N 1.03.01

This is supposed to be posted on: http://bart.simplenet.com/futurama But, although it was accepted as an official list, it is never posted. Go Figure...

---------------------------------------

Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

This list covers everything on Futurama that could be interpreted as a reference to The Simpsons. Of course, since Futurama draws off of the Simpsons' fan base, there are bound to be A LOT.

Version format is as follows-

SS.EE.RR S = Most Recent Season; E = most recent ep.; R = Revision

Item format is as follows-

[EP CODE] TITLE
     - Short description of how this scene relates
       to the Simpsons.

This list is posted after every update and on the first of every month.

The List:
~~~~~~~~

[1ACV01]    Topless Nudes!
     - The exact same gag was featured in {4F04}
       also taking place in NYC.

[1ACV01]    Blinky the Fish
     - Whilst Fry was traveling through the pipelines,
       he passes Blinky the fish from {7F01}

[1ACV01]    Apu of the Future
     - The military man who gives commands to Leela
       sounds (and looks) suspiciously like Apu.

[1ACV01]    Heads in a jar!
     - Celebrity heads were featured in a gameshow
       of the future imagined on The Simpsons.

[1ACV01]    Apu in a Jar
     - Several posters have concluded that Apu was
       one of the heads in a jar.

[1ACV01]    Nixon's Revenge List
     - Aside from keeping his own list, Homer had
       obtained Nixon's revenge list, which was
       mentioned by Nixon himself in this ep.

[1ACV03]    Unique Archetecture
     - This apartment reminded me of a certain
       Simpsons couch gag...

[1ACV03]    5 O'Clock Rust
     - This litle visual addition complimented
       Bender's Homer-esque look.

[1ACV03]    Flying Signs
     - This just screams {3F24}!!! As in, the scene
       where Homer is wandering towards the lighthouse
       no hotpants this time, though.

Comments/Notes:

(Clebrity Guests don't count!)

Constantly being revised, thanks to your numerous additions! I can't catch everything. (Especially Episode [1ACV02], there must have been something in there!) Send contributions to [email].

Being cross-posted to ATS until the end of April because not all ISPs carry ATF...

I dunno if that's really a Simpsons ref. as it's a film noir ref. but I seem to remember a similar scene when Bart, Milhouse and Barney went on a pure fluid Squishee bender.

Thom

Yeah, but that was more of a montage, rather than the slow music, walking character, and flying humorous signs. Direct refrence or not, the Simpsons was the inspiration for the use of this.

I thought more of Krusty's bender in "The Last Temptation of Krust".

We mustn'a furget in 1ACV03, the lady showing one of the apartments. Voice of Skinner's mother, Granny Flanders, the old lady on Evergreen Terrace, "No...only candy....forty dollars" can't remember her name.

Is it just the same voice actor, or were they actually using the same voice? I can't remember.

Same voice actress. She has her onw character on Futurama coming up.

Mrs. Glick. But I don;t think it's close enough. Glick doesn't have an accent.

Is it the same voice actor though?
