This article is about film series. For the parody character, see James Bont.
James Bond logo.png

James Bond is a popular series of spy novels written by Ian Fleming first book published in 1953 until his death in 1964. Since 1962 they've spawned an ongoing series of films in which various actors have portrayed spy 007, with his witty remarks, seductive charms, luck at gambling and preference for cocktails which are "shaken, not stirred."

References to James Bond in The Simpsons[edit]

Episodes[edit]

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
Blessed Be the Guy That Bonds.png 2 28 "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" The McBain film Grampa watches in the theater has an end credits song spoofing a typical James Bond movie. They end with text reading "James Bond will return" or "James Bond will be back" followed by the title of the next Bond feature film to be produced.
No image.png 33 "The War of the Simpsons" At Homer and Marge's house party when Patty maces Barney in his left eye, the song playing is The Look of Love by Burt Bacharach and sung by Dusty Springfield which was made for the soundtrack of the Bond spoof Casino Royale.
Mr. Burns and cat.png 3 38 "When Flanders Failed" Mr. Burns' stroking a white cat is similar to Ernst Stavro Blofeld stroking his cat.
Homer Defined 007.png 40 "Homer Defined" Homer stops a possible meltdown the timer which was stopped at "007" seconds left. This is a reference to when an atomic bomb inside Fort Knox and timer displayed 007, the secret agent number of James Bond in Goldfinger..
Lois Pennycandy.png 41 "Like Father, Like Clown" Krusty's personal assistant Lois Pennycandy is a reference to M's secretary Miss Moneypenny and Lois Maxwell who played Miss Moneypenny in the first 14 Bond movies. The character design is based off of Miss Moneypenny's appearance in Goldfinger.
To the hydrofoil.png 4 60 "Kamp Krusty" Mr. Black and the counsellors escape by hydrofoil, like some Bond villains have .
Bart and Bond figure.png 65 "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" Bart microwaves a James Bond figurine until he melts, while watching and stroking Snowball II, just like Blofeld.
Bart hamster.png 75 "Duffless" Bart is seated and strokes his hamster, just like Blofeld strokes his cat.
Whacking Day James Bond reference.png 79 "Whacking Day" The scene where Groundskeeper Willie meets the Scottish woman is a parody of the movie poster James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.
Spay Anything laser.png 5 83 "Cape Feare" The Itchy and Scratchy cartoon Spay Anything has Scratchy tied down to be killed by a beam, just like in Goldfinger, while similar Bond music plays.
CouchGagS6E13.png 6 116 "And Maggie Makes Three" In the couch gag Homer shoots at the camera in the style of the Bond Barrel which opens every James Bond movie.
Octopussy Homer.png 122 "Lisa's Wedding" Homer says to Hugh's parents: "You know what's great about you English? 'Octopussy'. I must have seen that movie... twice!"
