    The episode when Sideshow Bob was trying to kill Bart, they were doing a homage to Cape Fear. Since the characters only have four fingers, Bob had LUV and HĀT on his knuckles. Pure genius.

      I still love Homer scaring Bart, first with a big knife and shouting. Then after he exits, he returns again shouting and brandishing a chainsaw and wearing a hockey mask, causing Bart to scream even louder. I laugh every time I see it.

    In Stark Raving Dad, Homer said that he had never heard of MTV or VH1; but in the previous season’s Homer vs. Lisa and the Eighth Commandment, he name-checked both networks while talking about the joys of cable television: “MTV for the kids, VH1 for us…”

    The scanner for Maggie also read other things besides the price. In 2013, the scanner read 666 for Maggie in the Treehouse of Horror XXIV episode to match the Halloween theme. In 1995, during a parody episode, the scanner read "NRA4EVER".

    A friend of mine (who was a die hard Simpsons fan as I am) and I played a Simpsons Trivia game against each other. After what seems like hours we were tied as we continued to answer each question effortlessly. I then recieved the question, what was Skinner's prisoner number...I was stumped! I remember saying "who would know something like that!" Without any effort my friend immediately answered! Although he majored in business he was a theater minor and has acted in several productions. He had seen Les Miz live a few times...I had never seen it. But I guarantee I have never forgotten it since!

    Another aspect of prisoner #24601: the digits add up to 13, a number associated with serious misfortune, symbolizing that Seymour and Valjean before him were just unlucky to have been imprisoned.
    A subtler echo of Les Mis in other fiction is when characters have other prisoner numbers with digits that still have a sum of 13.

The derivative of r^3/3 is r^2 dr. Or R D R R. The solution should have said 3 × r^2 dr / 3 instead of 3^2 dr/3.

      I don’t know whether I should be happy, or terrified, that the Simpson children seem to be stuck as children forever. On the one hand, they never grow up. But on the other hand, they never grow up!
      Then again, assuming every episode only represents far less than a whole day in time (apart from where it is explicitly noted otherwise) and we get less than 30 episodes a season, it’s feasible that a whole year hasn’t passed for the family (despite obvious anachronisms, and leaps in technology, between episode one of season one, and whatever the season and episode count are now).
      I have no doubt that someone has already done the math on this, but I’m not invested enough to look it up… :)

      Say the name again, but replace all the “eeds” with “ucks”… so “Cheed’s Seed and Feed” becomes “Chuck’s *ucks and *ucks”…

      It's just one of the hundreds of radical, right-wing messages inserted into every show by creator Matt Groening.

    Oh, I think people noticed, there are eagle eyed people out there who notice tiny details and even dissect the story to analyse everything. but yeah, the show is going through a massive censorship editing phase, where many episodes are now banned, or just edited to ton down some of the antics. I just hope it won't spoil the series. Happy 30th birthday to Caepe Fear and Treehouse of Horror 5
