HGtC - Jaws Reference.png 5 84 "Homer Goes to College" 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.

Bart - Shark Fin Prank.png 6 107 "Itchy & Scratchy Land" A flashback sequence shows Homer and Bart scaring away beach tourists with a fake dorsal fin, while the music mimics the theme music of "Jaws". This is similar to a scene in "Jaws" where two boys do the same.

Old Yeller-Belly - Jaws Reference.png 14 310 "Old Yeller-Belly" When a shark appears, Homer mentions the young naked lady who gets killed in the first Jaws movie.
Jaws The Wettest Stories Ever Told.png 17 374 "The Wettest Stories Ever Told"

21 449 "Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou?" Bart says: "A real-life Jaws ate my dad's wiener."
The Shark Week Before Christmas.png 25 538 "White Christmas Blues" The Shark Week Before Christmas is a reference to Shark Week, Jaws and The Night Before Christmas.
32 689 "The 7 Beer Itch" As Marge drives through Martha's Vineyard, she passes by a sightseeing bus full of tourists. The tour's sole point of interest is the guide announcing that Martha's Vineyard is where Steven Spielberg shot Jaws.
Quimby suit The Last Days of Crisco.png 37 793 "Treehouse of Horror XXXVI" "The Last Days of Crisco" is partially based on Jaws. Mayor Quimby's suit is based on Mayor Vaughn's suit.
