"Fear of Flying"
|
After their flight is cancelled The Simpsons return home. Once there Homer wonders whether they haven’t forgotten something? A cutaway then shows Granpa still on their plane yelling in fright while holding his hands to his cheeks. This parodies both Macaulay Culkin’s famous pose on the movie poster, as well the overall situation of the first movie, when Kevin's parents only realize on their flight that they’ve left the boy home alone.
