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]

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!"
No image.png 128 "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)" Mr. Burns relieving the scale model of Springfield underneath the floor is from the scene with Auric Goldfinger turns some knobs to have the floor move and model of Fort Knox come up to explain his plan to the gangsters in Goldfinger

Due to Homer's stupidity Bont loses and is taken away by Blofeld and his cronies.
Sean Connery.png 149 "22 Short Films About Springfield" Milhouse Van Houten has to buy something from Comic Book Guy's store in order to go to the toilet. He suggests a signed James Bond photograph, but Comic Book Guy points out that it's a photo of Sean Connery, signed by Roger Moore, and thus too expensive for him to afford.
Scorpio with Mr. Bont.png 8 155 "You Only Move Twice" The title references You Only Live Twice. Hank Scorpio is a send-off of a Bond villain and even ties a spy, James Bont with a Scottish accent like Sean Connery to a table with the intention of killing him by a laser like in Goldfinger. In the final battle Scorpio's main assistant wears only a white bikini like Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder' one in Dr. No and shown crushing her enemies to death with her thighs as Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp did in GoldenEye. The end song which plays over the end credits, Scorpio, is similar to theme song from Goldfinger.

Treehouse of Horror XII 2001 1.png 13 270 "Treehouse of Horror XII" When the Simpson family decided on what voice they should use for the Ultrahouse 3000, Bart asked if they could use 007. Marge said, "George Lazenby?" (who played Bond only once in On Her Majesty's Secret Service), but Lisa explained he meant Pierce Brosnan. Marge accepted him because he played Remington Steele in Remington Steele (a character modeled on James Bond).

No image.png 23 506 "The Spy Who Learned Me" The title is a play on The Spy Who Loved Me. Dr. Stradivarius Cain has many similar qualities to James Bond. Cain wears a white diner jacket like Sean Connery as Bond wore and unzipping to reveal another outfit both happen in Goldfinger. Cain wears the same blue swimming trunks Daniel Craig as Bond wore in Casino Royale. Several Bond villains are among the International Brotherhood of Evil. The room where Homer attempts to flirt is based on Piz Gloria, Blofeld's mountaintop lair in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
James Bond films.png 24 510 "Treehouse of Horror XXIII" The years as Bart travels into the past in Professor Frink's time machine are marked by posters for Bond picture which were released that same year.
