The Simpsons Parodies Bond In "You Only Move Twice"

Post by LilleOSC »

I know not too many people care or like The Simpsons anymore, but I thought this was pretty interesting. Recently, I was watching my season 8 DVD of The Simpsons when I noticed they parodied James Bond in an episode called You Only Move Twice.
The episode, based on a story idea by Greg Daniels, has three major concepts: the family moves to a new town; Homer gets a new modern boss; and that boss, unbeknownst to Homer, is an evil genius. Bart, Lisa, and Marge each have individual secondary storylines. It was directed by Mike B. Anderson and written by John Swartzwelder.

The episode title is a reference to the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, and many elements of the episode parody the Bond films, with a character modelled after Bond making a cameo appearance

I found a clip from the episode:

They also parodied Bond in a deleted scene from $pringfield when Homer as a dealer at a table of blackjack with Bond and Blofeld forgets to take the Joker out of the deck making Bond lose his hand.

That's a great episode! Pierce Brosnan played a robot in another episode.

The American Dad Bond spoof was defintely a "must try harder" kind of thing(and that show usually makes me laugh out loud at least a couple of times an episode).

The Simpsons has been hit or miss the last few seasons. But the Bond spoof is a classic.
