Did you notice.....

the tapioca pudding at the SNPP cafeteria is extremely caustic?

Mr. Burns only has one lung?

Lenny is a war hero?

Mr. Burns considers Smithers "the ol' ball and chain"?

Dr. Hibbert has a shot to GIVE somebody polio?

Mr. Burns has never heard of "Cats" or "The King and I"?

Homer knows how to do the Lindy Hop?

Smithers found a woman who looks EXACTLY like the Malibu Stacy doll for his musical?

The guy from "Mayored to the Mob" who sounds like Frank Nelson is back, and he works in the department store instead of the restaurant?

References

The Birds- the scene at the end where they were attacked by gulls.

(maybe) King of the Hill- Homer gets molested by a panda bear like Hank Hill gets molested by a dolphin.

Everything at SNPP is caustic. It's one of the things that gets pointed out on the tour group.

It's iron. ;)

Persian Gulf War.

I think you know what they meant by this one.

Do NOT piss Dr. Hibbert off. REPEAT: DO NOT PISS DR. HIBBERT OFF. EVER.

He's not exactly the type of person who goes out to musicals now is he?

Burns taught him a crash course before they went to the zoo.

It's called makeup. also it's called parody, look into it.

Guy's gotta work...

classic, i think they've done that before somewhere though, damned if i can recall when right now. anyone??

i doubt it. it's more of that "ha, HA!" nelson kinda thing (if the people had known).

I think they've done "The Birds" parodies three or four times. One was on tonight, in "Itchy & Sratchy Land."

The attack scene specifically is referenced in one of my favorite scenes with Hans Moleman in the phone booth:

Hello? I need the biggest seed bell you have.

...no, that's too big.

Well, there's a definite reference to the birds in "A Streetcar Named Marge", 8F18, when Homer goes to pick up Maggie at the day-care center.
