References to A Clockwork Orange in The Simpsons
- In "There's No Disgrace Like Home" the electric shock therapy scene was inspired by this story.
- Bart claims to have a "pain in the gulliver" in "A Streetcar Named Marge", which is similar to the way Alex descrbies his illness to his mother in A Clockwork Orange.
- In "Dog Of Death", Santa's Little Helper is forced to watch violent images to make him more violent, this in parody of the treatment of the protagonist in A Clockwork Orange who is forced to watch violent images to make him less violent.
- In "Duffless", the scene of Bart reaching for two cupcakes spoofs the scene where the main character reaches for a woman's breasts. In both cases the character has been conditionalised to be able to and falls to the ground in fear.
- In "Treehouse of Horror III" Bart is dressed as Alex for Halloween.
- Homer's college room mates force Homer in "Homer Goes to College" to study by propping his eyelids open, just like Alex is forced to watch films.
- In "Homer the Smithers", Mr. Burns' fall from the window and the way he lies in bed in body cast is similar to the same things Alex goes through in A Clockwork Orange.
- Maggie dresses up as Alex, accompanied by similar music in "Treehouse of Horror XXI".
