When Homer shouts "I am invincible" It is a parady of James Bond Goldeneye[edit]

When Homer shouts "I am invincible" It is a parady of James Bond Goldeneye

how is this possible when the release date of this episode is in 1993 and Goldeneye was released in 1995. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.110.147.198 (talk) 17:31, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a trope, and it's a definitely a reference to SOMETHING. ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThiscannotBe ) The Black Knight says it in "Monty Python and The Holy Grail". (Bane in the Batman animated series says it, but that's also from a year after this episode.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 16:13, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My best candidate so far is "The Evil Overlord List". ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilOverlordList ) The list itself originated in an SNL sketch - "Things Not To Do When You Capture James Bond", and I'd wager that the writers of Goldeneye were aware of the list. It's an extended inside joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 16:22, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What was the reference when Homer moved through the bushes, while the male Flanders played basketball? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.8.250 (talk) 03:34, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about Ned's dream? That has to be a reference to something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ElbowLick (talk • contribs) 07:10, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The expression "hepped up on goofballs" has entered the common parlance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 15:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bell tower shooting dream[edit]

How is there not a single reference to the dream sequence?? The one where Ned, climbs to the top of a bell tower, assembles an AK and begins shooting at random people saying: "That's Homer. That's Homer too. THAT'S HOMER!!" before waking up and exclaiming he hates Homer. There's also no mention of the postal worker shooting back, nor how this scene was banned, or heavily edited in Australia after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.210.22.120 (talk) 11:20, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
