Thank you for reuploading this. I dont know how you got it, but thank you! I liked to refer to this a lot, then one day last year my channel disappeared after 60k subs. This was by far my favorite video though. -Metal Scar

The Simpsons was my first exposure to like 90% of these films.

Best part of the Patton parody is when Abe Simpson explains to Bart how it's okay to lead them to their deaths but it's not okay to slap them.

Amazing that all these years later there are still lesser known or even obscure film references being picked up in classic Simpsons. The writers and directors on the show truly were film lovers.

Seasons 1-5, when The Simpsons was the greatest tv show in history.

5:35 Mr Bergstrom is voiced by Dustin Hoffman

When The Simpsons uses cultural references and parodies wisely and when Family Guy consists entirely of them.

There are SO many Citizen Kane references, especially in early Simpsons. In the episode with "Oh, Streetcar", Homer boredly playing with a tattered Playbill. Mr. Burns running for Governor is FILLED with them, but I want to single out the nearly direct quote, "Is your boss Governor, yet?" Burns trying to track down his Teddy Bear, Bobo, is filled with parallels to Rosebud. And one of the weirdest, on the episode where the Plant goes on strike, there's a transition with a vulture that looks like Mr. Burns. A reference to the infamous "Cockatoo transition", which was basically one of the earliest jumpscares in film.

"Brace yourselves Gentlemen, according to the gas chronometer, the secret ingredient is.....Love?! WHO'S BEEN SCREWING WITH THIS?"

missed a few...The Fugitive, planet of the apes, The Birds (when Maggie was in daycare), more Ben Hur "you truly are the king of kings", and Rear Window (when Bart Broke his leg)

I love that "Officer and a Gentleman" scene. So heartwarming.

11:27 i never thought of that scene that way, that why it has cherries, hahahaha

I love these brillian re-contextualized references. Compare these with Family Guy that hammers you with 1:1 remakes of a scene for the sake of it.

I alwayes liked how you could enjoy classic Simpsons episodes without understanding any of the movie parodies that they were doing unlike later episodes and so many other shows that were pretty much relying on the viewer knowing the reference. The references were just a little bonus but the main plot/message was and is just timeless.

I have to also say, in the "Officer and a Gentleman" reference, kudos to the Simpsons composer for an absolute masterful soundalike for "Up Where We Belong" ...

Kids had no idea where that came from 11:27 but adults must have been rolling on the floor laughing

It's a shame being reminded the Simpsons was good, great upload.

"Top of the world, ma" in the GODFATHER bit is a reference-within-a-reference: Cagney in "White Heat" (1949)

You can tell that Matt or someone in the writer's room was a huge Hitchcock fan. No other directors work was shown more, closest is Kubrick.

8:35 the song SSB sings/parodies is "Something Stupid" by Frank and Nancy Sinatra 9:15 Mandella Effect: Tom Cruise does not wear sunglasses during that particular scene. 18:33 "The Sound Of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkle

0:16 the movie parody is Patton. How you got Cool Hand Luke when it is literally the main "Patton' sound bite playing is beyond me.

The Citizen Kane smashing things scene is hilariously bad in both. I love it.

Wow, this is a phenomenal comiplation. Nice work!!!

Thank you for the compilation. I still need to check out some of these films

At 8 seconds it should've shown Santa's little helper being brainwashed by Burns

Holy crap i had that flanders family car. Geo metro, three cylinder, could push seventy downhill. Wow i never realized i had that car.

6:13 seeing Bond with Homer Simpson’s voice is too perfect 😂

I remember in the old days of this kind of cross reference video, they would always play the clips sequentially. I guess only later on did we finally get simultaneous clips. We've come a long way since windows movie maker.

Can't believe you didn't include the Music Man homage from the "Marge vs. the Monorail" episode!!

Thanks for sharing! I knew most of the movie references, but have now learned even more! 😊

That DOA joke is one of my all time favorites😂

My film studies lecturer would talk about classic movies and, if someone didn't know which one he meant, he'd say "remember that Simpsons episode where...." The one i remember most was Rear Window, which wasn't in this list, now i think about it.

0:17 There is a more exact reference to that movie; when Skinner re joins the army.

Kind of surprised you cut off the last scene as it flows from Cat On A Hot Tin Roof to Streetcar Named Desire.

I knew they made a lot of references. Never realised they were quite this literal.

2:18 😂 he's only gonna be gone for 10 minutes

This is brilliant , A few I didn’t know as well... very well done thanks 😀

They were referencing 30, 40, even 50 year old movies in a time when the Internet barely existed, and they did it with nuance. The cleverness that went into this show is unbelievable.

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for creating it.

You ended on the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof reference but ignored the Streetcar Named Desire reference it led into.

So many 3rd walls broken, mostly from Cape Feare

What about the scene after Homer and Marge got married at that casino, Shotgun Pete's? I'm talking about the part where they're outside the Carvel store and Homer is getting the fudgy the whale cake that says "to a whale of a wife." And then the Levis truck goes by and he says "Do you think that truck is full of jeans?" I know I've seen that exact scene in a movie before. I think it might be a Sandra Bollack movie, but I'm not sure. I think it might even be from Officer and a Gentleman. But I know I've seen that exact scene in a live action movie on TV before. But I never see any references to it anywhere, not even on the Simpsons wiki or anything.

PhD quality work; thanks for sharing.

Man alive!!! There are men alive…in here

The references made really show that you need encyclopedic level of film knowledge. Beyond that, the examples here are specifically about iconic cinematography than references while also twisting them to be their own thing. I refuse to believe that Simpsons today somehow forgot how to do this, or that no other show before or after it mastered the craft, but consider this. Simpsons did it in such a way that anything else following format feels like a cheap imitation. Maybe we should be thankful for how Family Guy instead relies heavily on cutaway gags for references. What Simpsons has here is beautiful, no other word for it, and demonstrated to me what cinema is about more than any other movie, sitcom, game, reference or what have you ever hoped to tell me. Pop cultural references are not a sin. You don't have to make them alienating when you don't know the source (see Family Guy). Simpsons use it to convey their story/jokes. I wonder if that's the only way you can pump in so many at once, cause the other ways I know feel too distracting (plus, you know, Simpsons does those too)

I hope they don't expect me to get all these parodies. some i got but there's no way i could watched all those movies they reference

I've never seen Thelma and Louise before but Marge on the Lam is still one of my favorite episodes

10:09 this one is particularly funny now cuz The Simpsons are owned by Disney now.

8:29 Frank and Nancy Sinatra - Saying Something Stupid

there need to be a Kubrick compilation

I was surprised at how many of those I knew, even some references from movies I hadn't actually seen.

That's good work Lou

And it cuts right before the “Street car named desire” reference 😂

A clockwork orange reference is in the episode where Mr Burns had Santas little Helper brainwashed into being a trained killer like Alex was forced to watch violence. Not the Family shock therapy episode.

i didn't know they referenced this many movies

Awww I thought I was gonna see Christine (1983) for S3E18 (Separate Vocations). SuperB list, though.

Could've sworn there was a reference to A Nightmare on Elm Street around this period.

I knew some of these references. I did not know most of them.

Just how much of citizen Kane can you recreate using exclusively Simpsons footage?

Wow so AUTHENTIC 😳

Brilliant although I wish they could've snuck in the later episode which parodies the final scene of the Godfather.

2:51 LOL

Creativity we thought omages they were only

That last one was just 😂😅

9:51 to add to the risky business conspiracy. 9"58 why is homer wearing glasses when tom cruise did not wear glasses?

16:38 error scene is Apollo 13 No.. ! The Roght Stuf

Extoplasmer best parodies

I'll be the judge of this 😅

11:19 I see someone doesn’t want to get sued

That’s why the Simpson were so successful back then. So many parody. It’s funny. 😂

Well kids, now you know the cool movies you need to see. (Except for "Prince of Tides", wtf Simpsons writers, lol)

You know what? Just for fun I'm going to watch every one of these movies starting today. It will take me months or possibly over a year depending on how busy I get but I'm going for it. And even if its May and in the 90's outside I am starting with the first on the list; Miracle on 34th street original 1947 edition-5.26.2024. Rules: Movies will be watched in its entirety but not in any specific order from the video itself. Will leave comments of the movie and date watched. Join with me if you like

0:16 its not Patton soundtrack?

And gone with the wind isn’t from 1940. Fail after fail.

simpsons = gintama done right

It's amazing that they hardly ever came up with their own ideas. Then Family Guy came along and stole all their ideas that they already stole. Sometimes The Simpsons stole from Disney who notoriously steals from everyone. Now Disney owns The Simpsons.

Considering how much the Simpsons have stolen over the years I can see why Seth and the Family Guy crew are bitter about never getting an Emmy.

awesome!!!!! I didn't realize how many of these classic scenes were parodies/homages to classic films. :)

I don't remember that simpson's episode...

And the scene from the godfather where he wakes up beside the horse head is in the Simpson: Lisa wakes up with the horse head. Why did you take another scene where Bart wakes up with the statue? Haha the right scene with Lisa came later but the year for the godfather was wrong hahah

A clockwork orange isn’t from 1962

so fuuny man

some of these seem like a huge reach to say that are parodies of specific movies. some of them just don't seem to fit even with a huge reach.

My Dinner With Andre 2k24

🤣

😂😎❤️💕🥰😍❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

When the Simpsons were good 👍🏾😊

the Ten Commandments was originally released in 1956 not 1957 and Gone with the Wind was released in 1939!

An episode of The Simpsons referenced a film about a girl pulling Santa's beard in the beginning!

A few of these feel like a bit of a stretch

If The Simpsons was still being made today, I doubt it would reach these heights again

That last scene was Cat on a Tin Roof combined with A Street Car Named Desire.

I think that scene from Strange Love was also used as reference in the Inspector Gadget episode, Follow That Jet

Do Matt Groening had to pay licenses or film rights to do these ?

Its a wonderful life is a bit of a stretch, psycho is the best

So zoomers, still convinced that new series "r still gud n Better than old ones hurr durr "?

American movies only.

The reason why the Simpsons sucks nowadays is because they ran out of good movies to parody.

These aren't parodies...
