References to Star Trek in The Simpsons
| Picture | Season | Episode number | Episode name | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250px | 4 | 65 | "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" | The family sees a trailer and clips from the latest Original Series film, Star Trek XII: So Very Tired, which depicts an elderly and senile cast. Captain Kirk complains about poor sleeping habits and everyone else's indifference to his complaining, while Scotty has grown so fat he cannot fire the phasers because his gargantuan stomach is in the way of the control panel. |
| 5 | 96 | "Deep Space Homer" | As part of his NASA training, Homer fights Barney in the Triskelion arena with the classic "Star Trek fight music" in the background while one of the NASA administrators bets "quatloos on the newcomer." | |
| 6 | 104 | "Bart of Darkness" | The Itchy and Scratchy cartoon in this episode is a parody of "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I", and "The Menagerie, Part II", with Itchy resembling the aliens from Talos IV and possessing strong telepathic and telekenetic abilities. | |
| 250px | 107 | "Itchy & Scratchy Land" | The couch gag for this episode shows the Simpson family being beamed on the couch the same way people are beamed onto the Enterprise. | |
| 121 | "A Star Is Burns" | William Shatner is one of the actors auditioning for the role of Montgomery Burns dressed in a Starfleet uniform and speaking in his "Kirk voice" ("Ex-cell-ENT!"). | ||
| 122 | "A Star Is Burns" | In this episode, Hugh's watch makes identical noises as a TOS communicator, Troy McClure's uniform is identical to the TOS uniforms, and the nuclear power plant resembles and makes the same noises as the Enterprise. | ||
| 123 | "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" | A clerk at a pet store performs a "human-dog mind meld" on Santa's Little Helper. He recommends that the Simpsons buy a lot of his merchandise to help calm the dog – apparently it worked as the next scene depicts the family driving home with a car full of dog related goods. | ||
| 9 | 197 | "Simpson Tide" | Homer ends up as captain of a military submarine and refers to helmsman Moe as "Mr. Moe". A "Mr. Sulu" is also part of the crew and mentions Rigel VII while setting a course. | |
| 10 | 207 | "Treehouse of Horror IX" | Comic Book Guy holds Bart and Lisa at bay with "the only working phaser ever built" which was "fired once to keep William Shatner from releasing another album." | |
| 212 | "Mayored to the Mob" | Vina's theme from "The Cage" is heard when Comic Book Guy is entranced by a nerdy young Comic Book Gal. | ||
| 12 | 259 | "Worst Episode Ever" | As Comic Book Guy goes to a class about making friends, he says, "Human contact: the final frontier", referencing the show's introductory narrative ("Space: the final frontier"). |
