"The Grasshopper Experiment" 1 8 After Howard imitates Raj's voice to set up a blind date for him, Howard tells Raj that he should thank him. Raj incredulously asks "For what? Making me sound like a Simpsons character?".
"The Griffin Equivalency" 2 21 Howard refers to Raj as "Dr. Apu from the Kwik-E-Mart". When Leonard objects that that's racist, Howard tells him that it can't be because he's a lovable character on The Simpsons.
"The Space Probe Disintegration" 8 171 In a scene, Raj and Howard talk about Hinduism and Raj asks Howard "Does everything you know about Hinduism come from Indiana Jones?" and Howard answers "No, there's also Apu from The Simpsons".
"The Bachelor Party Corrosion" 9 186 While the boys are travelling to Mexico by car, they hear the sound of a flat tyre, and Sheldon says that the sound may be "bandits" shooting them and that they could get kidnapped, as well as asking "What if we end up in a factory making Bart Simpson piñatas for the rest of our lives?!"
"The Viewing Party Combustion" 204 When Leonard refuses to participate in a "mandatory quarterly roommate agreement meeting", Sheldon says "This is what a generation raised on Bart Simpson looks like." Leonard then tells him "You love The Simpsons", and Sheldon responds, "I love Lisa Simpson."
