{{TB|One of the movies The Simpsons watch on cable is "Jaws", presumably one of the sequels, since all the other shows they watch in this montage are all bad. Bart says: "This is the part where Jaws eats the boat". }}

{{TB|When discussing a college prank against the dean Bart attracts the attention of Homer, Benjamin, Doug and Gary by scratching his nails on a blackboard. This is similar to the way Quint in "Jaws" attracts attention of the crowd when people discuss how to catch the shark.}}

{{TB|A flashback sequence shows Homer and Bart scaring away beach tourists with a fake dorsal fin, while the music mimicks the theme music of "Jaws". This is similar to a scene in "Jaws" where two boys do the same.}}

{{TB|When [[Marge]] asks how the [[Athena (Bart Carny)|Athena]] was able to sink, it cuts away to a shark ramming the glass causing fractures not unlike the one that doomed the Athena, with Bart and Homer taunting it (by mooning and jiggling the gut, respectively), implying that the Athena sunk because rowdy tourists started taunting some of the wildlife. The scene of the shark attacking the boat is also similar to a scene in Jaws.}}
