In Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish the scene where Mr. Burns is trying to be elected as governor in front of a large black and white poster of his own face references a similar scene in the movie where Kane is trying to be elected president. Later, when Burns' election campaign begins to plummet he shouts, "You can't do this to me. I'm Charles Montgomery Burns!" This is a parody of the line that Kane speaks when he fails in getting elected, "You can't do this to me. I'm Charles Foster Kane."[1]
When Homer watches the play A Streetcar Named Desire he becomes untinterested and begins amusing himself by playing with a piece of paper, similar to the way a bored Joseph Cotten does in the theatre audience.[2]
When Sideshow Bob is elected major of Springfield the poster seen behind him is similar to the one seen behind Kane.[3]
In the episode Rosebud Mr. Burns' manor where he lies dying with a snow ball in his hand is a parody of the opening scenes of the film.

Kane then leaves his sled behind.[4]
In the episode Marge Gets a Job Smithers' dance act for Mr. Burns is a direct parody of a dance act organised for Charles Foster Kane in "Citizen Kane".[5]

Once when the Simpsons were in the Mall they see a cane in a glass case and Lisa comments "Oh, look, there's the cane from Citizen Kane," and then Homer, Marge and Bart give each other confused looks and walk off purposefully, leading Lisa to reprimand herself: "Wait a minute... there was no cane in Citizen Kane".[8]
