"Homer Goes to College"

"Bart Carny"

When Marge asks how the Athena was able to sink, it cuts away to a shark ramming the glass causing fractures not unlike the one that doomed the Athena, with Bart and Homer taunting it (by mooning and jiggling the gut, respectively), implying that the Athena sunk because rowdy tourists started taunting some of the wildlife. The scene of the shark attacking the boat is also similar to a scene in Jaws.

|
Groundskeeper Willie, who has a plan to save Homer from the Movementarians cult, attracts attention by scratching his nails on a blackboard. This is similar to the way Quint in "Jaws" attracts attention of the crowd when people discuss how to catch the shark.
