The Blackboard gag from the episode The Squirt and the Whale is "South Park - We'd stand beside you if we weren't so scared", a reference to the controversy of the South Park episode 201 and its intention to portray the Muslim prophet Muhammad.

Burns' song, he mentions Eric Cartman and shows his shadow. It was somewhat retained in the episode via the closed captioning. In Treehouse of Horror X, after Marge accidentally hits Ned Flanders while driving, she exclaims, "Oh my God, we killed Ned Flanders!" This is likely a reference to the South Park catchphrase, "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" which was used in nearly every episode of the show's first five seasons.Īlthough not in the episode itself, the script for Worst Episode Ever had Bart telling Milhouse to mark down the South Park merchandise until someone actually buys the merchandise (in the episode, this was replaced with Bart telling Milhouse to put Poochie on clearance as well as throw in a couple of Supergirl comic books into the mix). In Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers", after Homer discovered that he unknowingly bought an implied female-tailored F-model of the Canyonero and was teased by Lenny and Carl as being homosexual, Homer angrily yells "Screw you, guys!" before driving home, which was a reference to Eric Cartman's catchphrase "Screw you, guys! I'm going home!" That's a reference to a recurring gag in South Park, mostly from Seasons 1-5 but occasionally in later seasons. But then Milhouse corrected him by saying "Ralph", but Otto told them that "No, I killed Kenny yesterday!". Otto hits Ralph with the school bus and exclaims "Oh my God, I killed Kenny!". There's a South Park spoof in "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?", where Bart is dressed as Stan, Milhouse as Kyle, Nelson as Cartman, and Ralph as Kenny. Milhouse and Bart are watching a spoof of South Park in the episode The Bart of War. Homer entering a bleeped tirade against an ambulance that cut him off in Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner? was most likely a reference to and a dig at South Park's constant and excessive use of profanity, due to the closed captioning revealing that the "censored" words were extremely tame curses (eg, dingus, damn, stupid, and screw) that weren't censored both in prior episodes and even in the same episode at other times. 2 The Simpsons references in South Park.1 South Park references in The Simpsons.
