Homer Alone Looney Tunes Bart.pngHomer Alone Looney Tunes Homer.png 3 50 "Homer Alone" The Brat'us Don'thaveacow'us & Homo Neanderthel'us scene makes a reference to the Road Runner cartoons.

167 "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" June Bellamy, the voice of Itchy and Scratchy, claims she did the voice of the Road Runner, but the studio had her record only one "meep". To avoid having to pay her more (to record two "meep"s), the studio then doubled the "meep" in playback to produce the Road Runner's characteristic "meep-meep".

McCallister then grins: "Ain't I a stinker?" This is a direct reference to the classic Warner Brothers cartoon "Duck Amuck" (1953), in which Daffy Duck is tormented by an invisible animator, who turns out to be Bugs Bunny in the end, grinning: "Ain't I a stinker?"

(Annoyed Grunt)" The scene where Homer is getting chased by the helicopter drone is a parody of Looney Tunes.

The monitor that the Army colonel is watching this on then says "That's All Folks!"
