History

After Homer comes to India he remarks, "This isn't India! Where's the University of Notre Dame and the Indy 500 and Wrigley Field and Dodger Dogs?!" to which an Indian woman replies, "You ignorant American! You have confused India with Indiana, Indiana with Illinois, and the Cubs with the Dodgers!"

Wrigley Field, the Cubs stadium was once visited by Mr. Burns and Homer.

Kearney admitted he is a bully, because he's a Cub fan.

In the Season 26 episode "Bart's New Friend", which aired January 11, 2015, Don Bookner, a co-safety inspector who has been covering for Homer "all these years", says (in response to Homer asking him why he did it), "I felt there was something special in you. It's like rooting for the Cubs. You keep thinking they'll make it, and then you realize they never, ever will." The Cubs went on to win the World Series less than two years after the episode aired.

Non-canon

After a while, Kodos fired the Accele-Ray but Kang thought it was still boring so he ordered Kodos to speed up the Accele-Ray. Kodos mentioned that the fabric of the universe itself may shatter. Kang told Kodos that it's good as only then the Cubs will finally win.
