Back to work, while Homer attends to great preoccupations (ie. trying
to get the snack machine into taking his dollar bill), Scorpio is
taking care of a good friend of his, a la Goldfinger.
Hank: Ingenious, isn't it, Mr. Bont?
Bont: Scorpio, you're totally mad.
Hank: Heh, I wouldn't point fingers, you jerk.
Bont: So, do you expect me to talk?
Hank: I don't expect anything from you except to die and be a very cheap
funeral. [leaves] You're gonna die, now.
(But Bont has an ace up his sleave (doesn't he always?), and uses a
quarter to deflect the laser to his chains. A shot of sleeping gas
towards the guards, and he's off to the exit.)
Hank: Stop him! He's supposed to die! [Homer jumps on Bont who was running past him]
Nice work, Homer! Am I proud of you.
Homer: [shy] Well...
Hank: When you go home tonight, there's gonna be another story on your
house. [they both walk off] Thank you.
[guards shoot Bont off-screen]
Hank Scorpio Theme Song
Scorpio!
He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth.
Beware of Scorpio!
His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world
And his employees' health.
He'll welcome you into his lair,
Like the nobleman welcomes his guest.
With free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest!
But beware of his generous pensions,
Plus three weeks paid vacation each year,
And on Fridays the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer!
He loves German beer!

Troy: [voiceover] When Springfield legalized gambling, Homer became a
blackjack dealer -- and comedy was in the cards.
Blofeld: 20. Your move, Mr. Bond.
Bond: I'll take a hit, dealer. [Homer gives him a card]
Joker! You were supposed to take those out of the deck.
Homer: Oh, sorry. Here's another one.
Bond: What's this card? "Rules for Draw and Stud Poker"?
Blofeld: What a pity, Mr. Bond.
[Odd Job and Jaws grab Bond and drag him out]
Bond: But...but it's Homer's fault! I didn't lose. I never lose!
Well, at least tell me the details of your plot for world
domination.
Blofeld: Ho ho ho, I'm not going to fall for that one again.

| Episode: Itchy and Scratchy-The Movie

Lisa sees a television advert for the upcoming Itchy and Scratchy
Movie, calling Bart in from the kitchen, where Bart had been melting
a plastic James Bond doll in the microwave, while gently stroking
Snowball II and chuckling. |
| Episode: The Secret War Of Lisa Simpson
|
| |
Bart is on afiring range. He shoots five times. Four are direct hits, the fifth lands
on the elementary school. His instructor says "you missed the last one" and
Bart says "Did I?". This is just like the scene in Moonraker where a
hit-man is in a tree, and Bond shoots him, replying "Did I?" when told he
missed the target he was supposed to hit.
|
| Episode: Cape Feare
|
| |
In one episode, when Bart and Lisa are watching their favorite violent
cartoon show, "Itchy And Scratchy", Itchy (the mouse) is tricked into going
into a vet's office where he is strapped down to a table by the mouse,
Scratchy. A laser beam is then pointed at the table where it slowly creeps
upwards, just like in Goldfinger! There is even Bondish music in the
background. Itchy pulls the plug out of the machine moments before it reaches
him. (Unfortunately it is then turned back on and he is chopped into pieces!)

Millhouse goes to the comic store and needs to use the washroom. The clerk says the washroom is for paying customers only. Millhouse, desparate to use the washroom, points to an object. The object just so happens to be a picture of Sean Connery as James Bond, autographed by Roger Moore, and is worth $125.00.

| Episode: Homer To The Max
|
| |
After legally changing his name to Max Power, Homer sings a theme song about his name to the tune of Goldfinger.
Max Power
he's the man who's name you'd love to touch!
But you mustn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear,
but when you say it,
you mustn't fear!
'Cause his name can be said by anyone!

| Episode: The Curse of the Flying Hellfish
|
| |
At one point when Mr. Burns is speeding away in a boat Grampa shots a harpoon in to the the back of it and water skis behind it, just like Bond's escape from Milton Krest's boat in Licence to Kill.

|
| |
In these two episodes, the title sequence where the Simpsons sit down on the couch features Homer walking across the screen and shooting in accordance with the classic Bond gunbarral sequence.

At one point, Krusty is identified by his third nipple, which can be seen as a referance to Scaramanga's character in The Man With the Golden Gun.
|
| Episode: The Joy of Sect
|
| |
Along with the majority of Springfield, Homer and company are lured into the Movementarian cult by a slick pamphlet and tantalizing promises. But as Marge begins to realize that the cult only has money on its mind, she must try her hand at deprogramming to rescue her family. Marge escapes from the Movementarian cult and has to pass a river full of crocodiles, which she does the way Bond does it in Live and Let Die.
|
| Episode: Treehouse of Horror XII
|
| |
In the Treehouse of Horror XII Marge decides to purchase the Ultrahouse 3000, a futuristic house (Pierce Brosnan) with homicidal tendencies that controls every aspect of the family's lives. When the House falls in love with Marge, it attempts to kill Homer and take his place. I know this really doesn't involve much with Bond but Peirce was a guest star.

| Episode: Homer Defined
|
| |
When Homer stops the nuclear meltdown, the timer stops on 007, just like in Goldfinger.
|
| Episode: Bart the Mother
|
| |
After Nelson tells Bart to shoot a bird with his rifle, Bart initially refuses. Nelson starts taunting Bart - implying that he's wussy. One of the insults he uses is "Octowussy," which is an obvious play on words of Octopussy.

|
| Episode: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou
|
| |
In the beginning of the episode, Grandpa Simpson is in the theater watching a McBain movie, which ends with the words "McBain will return in You Have the Right to Remain Dead." This is an obvious reference to all the pre-Living Daylights Bond films which gave the title of the next film.
|
| Episode: The Regina Monologues
|
| |
When the Simpsons are taking the Elec-Taurus for a road test, they drive it underwater and then up onto a beach, like in The Spy Who Loved Me.
|

When the Simpsons go to London they meet Prime Minister Blair. After he says he has to go, he uses the Thunderball jetpack to leave while a variation of the Bond theme can be heard in the background. The song plays again later in the episode when Homer and Marge use the London Eye Ferris Wheel as a spy device. Their car on the ferris wheel detaches and becomes a sub in the Thames.

Simpsons' Scorpio Theme Song
|
Description: During the Bondish Simpsons episode entitled "You Only Move Twice",
there was a Bond theme song that played at the end. It is about the
