When Homer joins The Who, he sings a verse from the song "Pac-Man Fever".[2]
When looking at a picture of The Poetess, Lisa told Homer that the yellow circle can represent the sun. Homer thought it could represent Pac-Man at rest.[3]
Comic Book Guy owns a shirt that says "I've got Pac-Man fever, give me a Tetris shot".[4]
At an arcade when Mr. Burns calls Homer a "Fat Round, Yellow Oaf", Homer thought he was referring to the Pac-Man machine he was standing by.[citation needed]
After the electricity gets cut out by Homer at the Conflict of Enemies world championship, Pac-Man is one of the games shown.[5]
