{{TB|A morning of the family being increasingly demanding (and stressing out [[Marge]]) gets even worse when [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] miss the bus and Marge has to take them to school. The kids keep bickering all through the drive. When they arrive at school, Marge glares at them and tells them to "GET! OUT!", in a manner reminiscent of the Terminator in the first movie and of the {{w|T-1000}} in ''{{w|Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Terminator 2}}''.}}

{{TB|A ''Terminator'' video game is seen at the [[Noiseland Video Arcade]].}}

{{TB|When [[Homer]] visits [[Ned]], he morphs through the hedge, similar to the T-1000 morphing its way through the locked gate in the mental hospital scene of ''Terminator 2''. Ned then quickly loads his family into his car and drives away. However, Homer pursues, catches up, and uses two golf clubs to latch onto the back of the car, also similar to the T-1000. Finally, the music playing as Ned gets away from Homer is similar to the music from the movie's chase scenes.}}

{{TBT|[[File:Terminator Neighbor Dispute - Future Cop.png|200px]]}}

{{TB|In his dream of being a cop in the future, [[Chief Wiggum]] and his partner [[Officer Cornelius]] respond to a dispute between neighbors in Terminator Town. One of the neighbors is a Terminator endoskeleton, and the other is a Terminator wearing a human disguise. <br><br>The endosleleton's backyard landscaping consists of a layer of human skulls, which is a recurring visual in post-Judgement Day scenes from the films.<br><br>The disguise-wearing Terminator says he was going to pick up the dog poop in the endoskeleton's yard later and "I told him I'd be back!", echoing one of [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s Terminator catchphrases.<br><br>After Wiggum and Cornelius leave, Wiggum comments that his first two visits to Terminator Town were great, but "Every time I've been back since, it's just gotten lamer and lamer", a reference to the consensus among ''Terminator'' fans and critics that the third and later movies weren't as good as the first two.}}
