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
You were my favorite channel for simpsons stuff! I'm still upset you got removed. I'll probably reupload more of your stuff later. I downloaded some of my favorite videos for a long road trip.
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.
Someone always comments this thinking they are having an original thought. The Simpsons haven't been remotely funny or even watchable for over 15 years while Family Guy has had plenty of hilarious bits in that time. FG is sketch comedy, which is fine. And while never as good as Simpsons at its peak, have still provided plenty of laughs.
@@DoctorJammer Family Guy is sloppy and vulgar with their jokes that they intentionally stretch them out to make the 20 minute runtime. I would take 2000-2008 Simpsons over anything Family Guy.
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
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)

They referenced iconic photography too!
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.
When The Simpsons uses cultural references and parodies wisely and when Family Guy consists entirely of them.

"here is the cane from citizen kane" always gets me
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.
The Simpsons was my first exposure to like 90% of these films.
11:27 i never thought of that scene that way, that why it has cherries, hahahaha
"Brace yourselves Gentlemen, according to the gas chronometer, the secret ingredient is.....Love?! WHO'S BEEN SCREWING WITH THIS?"

18:33 "The Sound Of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkle
Wow, this is a phenomenal comiplation. Nice work!!!
That DOA joke is one of my all time favorites😂
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for creating it.
This is brilliant , A few I didn’t know as well... very well done thanks 😀
6:13 seeing Bond with Homer Simpson’s voice is too perfect 😂
Kind of surprised you cut off the last scene as it flows from Cat On A Hot Tin Roof to Streetcar Named Desire.
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.
Seasons 1-5, when The Simpsons was the greatest tv show in history.
2:18 😂 he's only gonna be gone for 10 minutes
If The Simpsons was still being made today, I doubt it would reach these heights again
I was surprised at how many of those I knew, even some references from movies I hadn't actually seen.
I've never seen Thelma and Louise before but Marge on the Lam is still one of my favorite episodes
Loved Lionel
So many 3rd walls broken, mostly from Cape Feare
That's good work Lou
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)
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.
Holy crap i had that flanders family car. Geo metro, three cylinder, could push seventy downhill. Wow i never realized i had that car.
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."

Wow so AUTHENTIC 😳
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.
THANK you. That was really bugging me.
That last one was just 😂😅
Could've sworn there was a reference to A Nightmare on Elm Street around this period.
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.
5:35 Mr Bergstrom is voiced by Dustin Hoffman
8:29 Frank and Nancy Sinatra - Saying Something Stupid
Extoplasmer best parodies
That’s why the Simpson were so successful back then. So many parody. It’s funny. 😂
10:09 this one is particularly funny now cuz The Simpsons are owned by Disney now.
Well kids, now you know the cool movies you need to see. (Except for "Prince of Tides", wtf Simpsons writers, lol)
there need to be a Kubrick compilation
They reference A Clockwork Orange numerous times.
Creativity we thought omages they were only
A few of these feel like a bit of a stretch
A lot would work better if you could hear the audio for both
I was about to say the same thing
so fuuny man

Do Matt Groening had to pay licenses or film rights to do these ?
simpsons = gintama done right
Its a wonderful life is a bit of a stretch, psycho is the best
How was it a stretch? It matched shot for shot.
My Dinner With Ande 2k24
the Ten Commandments was originally released in 1956 not 1957 and Gone with the Wind was released in 1939!
I really hoped someone gets fired for this gaffe
My Dinner With Andre 2k24
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.
🤣
An episode of The Simpsons referenced a film about a girl pulling Santa's beard in the beginning!
When the Simpsons were good 👍🏾😊
I think that scene from Strange Love was also used as reference in the Inspector Gadget episode, Follow That Jet
These aren't parodies...
American movies only.
Gee it’s almost like the writers were born and lived their whole lives in North America
Weird, how the American family has only American movie references. But, they used vertigo and psycho, which are Alfred Hitchcock and he's British
it´s called USA, captain soybwoy.
