"Hereeeeeeeeeeeeee'ssssss Johnny!"
"All Work And No Play Make's Jack A Dull Boy"
  • "Treehouse of Horror V" (The Shinning) - The name and segment is a parody of The Shining with Homer in a role similar to Jack Torrance.
    • Groundskeeper Willie and Moe are parallels of the characters Dick Halloran and Lloyd the bartender, respectively.
    • Maggie spells "REDRUM" with her blocks when Homer tries to watch the TV.
    • Analogous to Jack Torrance endlessly typing "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", Homer writes "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy" all over the walls. The only thing Homer types is "Feelin' fine," which briefly reassures Marge, until a lightning flash reveals the writing on the walls.
    • After Marge discovers that Homer has written "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy" all over the walls, Homer bursts through a door, scaring her, and asks what she thinks of his book. In The Shining, Jack sneaks up on Wendy and asks her what she thinks of his play.
    • Homer does a "Heeeere's Johnny!" scene similar to Jack Torrance, but Homer breaks into two wrong rooms before finding the family.
    • Marge defends herself from Homer with a bat and later locks Homer in a dry food cellar, similar to what Wendy does to Jack.
  • "The Springfield Files" - The line "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" appears repeatedly across the screen at one point.
  • "MoneyBART" - The chalkboard gag "I must not write on the walls" is written all over the walls, in a parody of the "All work and no play" line again.
