The Simpsons referenced
to Pulp Fiction, one of the coolest movies ever, in the episode 3F18,
22 Short Films About Springfield. First in the conversation between Wiggum,
Lou and Eddie, then later as a parody on the Butch and Marsellus situation.
In 3G03 Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed
Grunt)cious can we see Itchy and Scratchy dancing just like Mia Wallace
and Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction. It's also a parody on Quentin Tarantino's
Reservoir Dogs in the same Itchy & Scratchy episode, they called the
episode "Reservoir Cats". Press the thumbnails from the movie,
for full size images.

Lou: You
know, I went to the McDonald's in Shelbyville on Friday night.
Wiggum: The McWhat?
Lou: Uh, the McDonald's restaurant. I've never heard of it either,
but they have over 2,000 locations in this state alone.
Eddie: Must've sprung up overnight.
Lou: You know, the funniest thing though, it's the little differences.
Wiggum: Example.
Lou: Well, at McDonald's you can buy a Krusty Burger with cheese,
right? But they don't call it a Krusty Burger with cheese.
Wiggum: Get out! Well, what do they call it?
Lou: A Quarter Pounder with cheese.
Wiggum: Quarter Pounder with cheese? Well, I can picture the cheese,
but, uh, do they have Krusty partially gelatinated non-dairy gum-based
beverages?
Lou: Mm-hm. They call 'em, "shakes."
Eddie: Huh, shakes. You don't know what you're gettin'
