- Analogous to Jack Torrance endlessly typing "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", Homer writes "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy" all over the walls. The only thing Homer types is "Feelin' fine," which briefly reassures Marge, until a lightning flash reveals the writing on the walls.
- After Marge discovers that Homer has written "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy" all over the walls, Homer bursts through a door, scaring her, and asks what she thinks of his book. In The Shining, Jack sneaks up on Wendy and asks her what she thinks of his play.
- Homer does a "Heeeere's Johnny!" scene similar to Jack Torrance, but Homer breaks into two wrong rooms before finding the family.

- "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?" - Homer types the same phrase over and over again.
- "Bart to the Future" - Bart talks with Billy Carter's ghost at a bar, similar to the scene with Jack Nicholson's character at the Overlook.
- "MoneyBART" - The chalkboard gag "I must not write on the walls" is written all over the walls, in a parody of the "All work and no play" line again.
