Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia.
History
Snake once told Gloria that someone had edited his page on Wikipedia and that he wanted her to kill them.[1] Sideshow Bob went on Wikipedia to look up a Shakespeare quote on a computer he had set up to explode. The website took too long to load, however, and the computer blew up in his face, rendering him unconscious.[2] When Bart and Homer were talking about Dean Martin, Bart stated that Wikipedia said Martin was passionate about rehearsal, to which Homer replied that they'd change Wikipedia when they got home.[3] When Joey Kramer was at Moe's Tavern, Homer asked if it was accurate that Wikipedia said "Walk This Way" was inspired by Young Frankenstein.[4] Channel 6 network executives told Krusty they were firing him. One of the reasons was that many of his joke references required kids to look them up on Wikipedia to understand what he meant.[5]
When Lisa met Hank Scorpio in the Turkish prison, he said she was adorable and that they were all about to be shot as escaped prisoners while she recited his Wikipedia entry.[6]
In Lisa's first chatter, she wrote that she had seen the best minds of her generation destroyed by Wikipedia, dragging themselves through the unsourced pages until dawn.[7]
When Waylon Smithers employed some Huli Tribesmen at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Mr. Burns asked if they were practicing cannibals. Smithers told Mr. Burns they might be and that he'd check it out on Wikipedia.[8]
Bart told Paolo Paoletti that Lisa was a Wikipedia editor.[9]
