14 303 "I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can" Lisa shouts out: "I'll be queen of the world... of spelling!". This is a reference to what Jack's line: "I'm king of the world!" in the film.
18 380 "Jazzy and the Pussycats" Moe says that Titanic was "unsinkable at the box office."
Milhouse and Bart Titanic reference.png 22 468 "Treehouse of Horror XXI" In the segment "War and Pieces" Milhouse sinks down into the water, mirroring Jack's death scene in Titanic.

The Simpsons Movie[edit]

Picture Reference
Green Day Barge Sinks.png Green Day's barge starts to sink in Lake Springfield, whereupon Mike Dirnt says: "Gentlemen, it's been an honor playing with you tonight" and they all take out violins to start playing the hymn Nearer, My God, to Thee. This references the band on board of the Titanic who kept on playing despite the ship sinking with the final song being Nearer, My God, to Thee. Mike Dirnt's line is a direct quote from Jonathan Evans-Jones as bandleader Wallace Hartley in the 1997 movie although Mike Dirnt said it before the band started playing Nearer, My God, to Thee and in the 1997 movie Wallace Hartley said it after the band came to end of the hymn.

One of the death traps at Burnsimoto's Castle is "James Cameron Academy Award acceptance speech on a continuous loop", referring to his acceptance speech for best director in 1998 for Titanic. Smithers discourages Mr. Burns from pressing it when Homer falls into the trap, as it would be unbearable, although Burns presses it anyway alongside the other traps. Homer then proceeds to get attacked by various animals and weapons with the words "I'm king of the world!" repeating in the background.
