James Bond logo.png

James Bond is a popular series of spy novels written by Ian Fleming first book published in 1953 until his death in 1964. Since 1962 they've spawned an ongoing series of films in which various actors have portrayed spy 007, with his witty remarks, seductive charms, luck at gambling and preference for cocktails which are "shaken, not stirred."

References to James Bond in The Simpsons[edit]

Episodes[edit]

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
Blessed Be the Guy That Bonds.png 2 28 "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" The McBain film Grampa watches in the theater has an end credits song spoofing a typical James Bond movie. They end with text reading "James Bond will return" or "James Bond will be back" followed by the title of the next Bond feature film to be produced.
33 "The War of the Simpsons" At Homer and Marge's house party when Patty maces Barney in his left eye, the song playing is The Look of Love by Burt Bacharach and sung by Dusty Springfield, which was made for the soundtrack of the Bond spoof Casino Royale.
Mr. Burns and cat.png 3 38 "When Flanders Failed" Mr. Burns stroking a white cat is similar to Ernst Stavro Blofeld stroking his cat.
Homer Defined 007.png 40 "Homer Defined" Homer stops a possible meltdown with the timer halted at "007" seconds left. This is a reference to an atomic bomb inside Fort Knox, where the timer displayed 007, the secret agent number of James Bond, in Goldfinger.
Lois Pennycandy.png 41 "Like Father, Like Clown" Krusty's personal assistant Lois Pennycandy is a reference to M's secretary Miss Moneypenny and Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny in the first 14 Bond movies. The character design is based on Miss Moneypenny's appearance in Goldfinger.
4 60 "Kamp Krusty" Mr. Black and the counselors escape by hydrofoil, similar to how some Bond villains have.
Bart and Bond figure.png 65 "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" Bart microwaves a James Bond figurine until it melts while watching and stroking Snowball II, just like Blofeld.
Bart hamster.png 75 "Duffless" Bart is seated and strokes his hamster, just like Blofeld strokes his cat.
Whacking Day James Bond reference.png 79 "Whacking Day" The scene where Groundskeeper Willie meets the Scottish woman is a parody of the movie poster for the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.
Spay Anything laser.png 5 83 "Cape Feare" The Itchy & Scratchy Show cartoon "Spay Anything" has Scratchy tied down to be killed by a beam, just like in Goldfinger, while similar Bond music plays.
CouchGagS6E13.png 6 116 "And Maggie Makes Three" In the couch gag, Homer shoots at the camera in the style of the Bond Barrel, which opens every James Bond movie.
122 "Lisa's Wedding" Homer says to Hugh's parents: "You know what's great about you English? 'Octopussy'. I must have seen that movie... twice!"
Scale city reveal.png 128 "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)" Mr. Burns revealing the scale model of Springfield underneath the floor is from the scene where Auric Goldfinger turns some knobs to have the floor move and a model of Fort Knox emerge to explain his plan to the gangsters in Goldfinger.
MrBond.png 7 138 "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" A deleted scene from "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)" shows Homer in the casino dealing cards to James Bont, while several Bond villains (Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Oddjob, and Jaws) observe. Due to Homer's stupidity, Bont loses and is taken away by Blofeld and his cronies.
Sean Connery.png 149 "22 Short Films About Springfield" Milhouse Van Houten has to buy something from Comic Book Guy's store in order to go to the toilet. He suggests a signed James Bond photograph, but Comic Book Guy points out that it's a photo of Sean Connery, signed by Roger Moore, and thus too expensive for him to afford.
Scorpio with Mr. Bont.png 8 155 "You Only Move Twice" The title references You Only Live Twice. Hank Scorpio is a send-off of a Bond villain and even ties a spy, James Bont, who has a Scottish accent like Sean Connery, to a table with the intention of killing him by a laser, like in Goldfinger. In the final battle, Scorpio's main assistant wears only a white bikini, similar to the one Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder wears in Dr. No, and is shown crushing her enemies to death with her thighs, like Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp does in GoldenEye. The end song that plays over the end credits, Scorpio, is similar to the theme song from Goldfinger.
9 190 "Bart Carny" When Cooder wears Homer's clothes, Spud claims that he looks like James Bond.
Bart James Bond parody.png 199 "Girly Edition" Bart does a swivel chair reveal at the Kidz Newz anchor desk to Lisa and says, "So we meet again, Mr. Bond," which is a line from Auric Goldfinger in Goldfinger. When Lisa tells him to get out of her anchor chair, he yells back, "Silence, Octopussy."
Egg beater assembly.png 11 229 "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?" The French chef assembling the eggbeater is a parody of Scaramanga, the main villain in The Man with the Golden Gun, who assembled the titular golden gun.
Straw cigarette case.png 247 "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge" In The Man with the Golden Gun, the main villain, Scaramanga, assembled the golden gun using three items from his monogrammed golden cigarette case. This is also what Homer does to make his straw. The show's Bond soundalike theme is played.
13 270 "Treehouse of Horror XII" When the Simpson family decides on what voice they should use for the Ultrahouse 3000, Bart asks if they could use 007. Marge says, "George Lazenby?" (who played Bond only once in On Her Majesty's Secret Service), but Lisa explains that he meant Pierce Brosnan. Marge accepts him because he played Remington Steele in Remington Steele (a character modeled on James Bond).
Homer motorcycle train.png 15 314 "Treehouse of Horror XIV" When Homer escapes from God's light with a motorcycle, it is a reference to James Bond's escape from the Icarus satellite laser in Die Another Day.
Tony Blair jetpack.png 317 "The Regina Monologues" When Tony Blair flies away in a jetpack to the James Bond theme, it references Thunderball. The scene where Homer spots Bart and Lisa from the London Eye, pulls a lever, and the whole car detaches from the Eye before skimming across the River Thames is similar to the water surf gadget scene in The World Is Not Enough.
331 "Catch 'Em If You Can" When Marge tries to sell Bart and Lisa on going to Dayton, she says that Dayton has a zipper museum, and the museum has a zipper from every James Bond.
Missile silo base.png 19 419 "Mona Leaves-a" Mr. Burns's secret missile silo inside the mountain peak in Springfield Monument Park is a reference to the volcano lair in You Only Live Twice.

BondVillians.png 22 477 "The Blue and the Gray" Homer imagines Marge as a Bond Girl, yet she turns into Judi Dench. He then imagines several Bond villains, namely Auric Goldfinger, Oddjob, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and Jaws.
The Spy Who Learned Me promo 1.png 23 506 "The Spy Who Learned Me" The title is a play on The Spy Who Loved Me. Dr. Stradivarius Cain has many similar qualities to James Bond. Cain wears a white dinner jacket like Sean Connery as Bond and unzipping to reveal another outfit both happen in Goldfinger. Cain wears the same blue swimming trunks Daniel Craig as Bond wore in Casino Royale. Several Bond villains are among the International Brotherhood of Evil. The room where Homer attempts to flirt is based on Piz Gloria, Blofeld's mountaintop lair in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
James Bond films.png 24 510 "Treehouse of Horror XXIII" The years as Bart travels into the past in Professor Frink's time machine are marked by posters for Bond films that were released in the same year.

Moefinger.png 28 600 "Treehouse of Horror XXVII" The third segment's title, "Moefinger," is a reference to Goldfinger.
Treehouse of Horror XXVII promo 7.png It has several other Bond references, such as Homer dressing as Blofeld from You Only Live Twice and recreating the women swimming underwater from the title sequence of Thunderball. Both Thunderball and You Only Live Twice end with Bond and the main Bond girl together at sea in an inflatable raft, which happens at the end with Bart and Sherri or Terri.
XABF20 Script.png 30 645 "From Russia Without Love" The title is a pun on From Russia With Love.
No image.png 32 689 "The 7 Beer Itch" During her date with Mr. Burns, Lily tells him that he makes her feel like she's on a date with a James Bond villain. Burns then holds a white cat on his lap and pets it, echoing one of Ernst Stavro Blofeld's mannerisms.
705 "The Man from G.R.A.M.P.A." Terrance says he has a "license to kill," a reference to Licence to Kill.
Grey Fox Will Return.png The Man with the Golden Retirement Plan and Oldfinger are parodies of the films The Man with the Golden Gun and Goldfinger.
