+The opening sequence has been parodied in several episodes of ''The Simpsons'':
 *A short parody called "The Thompsons" in the episode "[[Cape Feare]]", when [[Sideshow Bob]]'s harassment prompts the Simpsons go into the {{W|witness protection}} program, change their surname, and move to a houseboat on [[Terror Lake]]. The camera zooms across the town of Terror Lake and into the houseboat where the "Thompsons" arrive in their new convertible. Upon being seated on the couch, a pile of half-dead fish falls onto the family.

 *Once as "The Hurricane" in the episode "[[Hurricane Neddy]]".
 *In the middle of "[[The Heartbroke Kid]]", a parody of the intro titled "Three Weeks Later" is shown. Instead of writing on Ms. Krabappel's blackboard, a fat Bart is seen putting coins in a vending machine, from which he receives a chocolate bar. Upon the bell ringing, he quickly eats the bar and struggles to skate out the front doors of the school. Due to his wait gain, he cracks the pavement when he leaves the school, bends the lamppost, knocks Moe through the front window of his bar, rolls over Jacque's foot ("Aah! Be careful!"), slams into [[Marge]]'s station wagon (sending it spinning out of the viewer's sight), and crushes the roof of [[Homer]]'s car, catapulting him out, before finally stumbling into the living room and apparently having a heart attack.

 *In [[The Simpsons Movie]], Bart does the lamppost corner swoop during [[Bart Skates|the nude skateboarding scene]].
 *In the episode "[[Little Big Girl]]", Bart is awarded a driver's license, and a section of the opening sequence is shown with Bart at the chalkboard writing "So Long Suckers". He bursts through the school doors in Homer's car, instead of on his skateboard, and speeds away, doing all the same gags as the opening sequence, but instead of nimbly dodging all the obstacles, he runs them over. Homer then pulls into the driveway in Marge's wagon instead of his own car and steps out to enter the house, when the other car lands on him, and Bart walks into the house.
