References to The Simpsons in Doctor Who
The Simpsons have also been referenced on the revived Doctor Who. In the episode Planet of the Ood, one of the Ood's programming functions is 'classic comedy', the Ood Operations worker says "Ood, you've dropped something", and the Ood replies with "D'oh!"
Also, in David Tennant's swansong episode The End of Time: Part 2, there is a possible in-joke: After being rescued, the Doctor is strapped to a wheelchair. As he's pleading with his rescuers to unstrap him, they wheel him down a flight of stairs. Halfway down, he shouts "Worst! Rescue! EVER!" very much in the manner of Comic Book Guy and his catchphrase.
