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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The song at the end, "600," is a parody of the title theme song from Goldfinger.

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.
