Talk:Homer the Heretic

Moon Waffle "Recipe"?
Is this section really needed? It doesn't help the article at all and is poorly formatted. --FireV 21:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Cultural references

 * The brand label on Homer's shower radio reads "No Soap, Radio!," so-named for the non-sequitur "punchline" of a well-known pseudo-joke.
 * The scene where Homer dances in his underwear to "We Wear Short Shorts" is identical to the scene in the 1983 Tom Cruise movie Risky Business (except Cruise dances to Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll.")
 * God's comment about appearing in a tortilla in Mexico is probably a parody of the Enchilada tortilla burn resembling Jesus found in New Mexico a year before this episode aired. The tortilla is now preserved in a shrine in New Mexico and is now New Mexico's largest Christ Belief gathering point.
 * God also asks Homer if St. Louis still has a team. Four years to the day after this episode aired, the St. Louis Rams, relocated from Los Angeles, played the first NFL game in St. Louis in nine years.
 * Unlike all of the other characters in The Simpsons, God has five fingers, until the end of the episode where he has four.
 * The Itchy & Scratchy Show episode, "Flay Me To the Moon", is a play on Bart Howard's famous song, Fly Me to the Moon.
 * The car chase scene with the proselytizing Flanders is taken almost verbatim from the 1976 Burt Reynolds film, White Lightning.
 * The part when flanders slams on the brakes with 2 feet and land hanging off the end of the road is reminiscent of The Blues Brothers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.32.132 (talk) 04:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

If/when sources are provided for this stuff, it can be added back into the article. Cirt (talk) 01:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC).
 * This might be my next GA project. I'll see what I can do. --Simpsons fan 66 22:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Can the current Cultural References at least be a list? It doesn't read well as a paragraph, the sentences are independent of each other. Blakecarlile (talk) 01:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

GA Pass (second review per request)
I was requested by Simpsons fan 66 to make a second review of this article (given that the previous reviewer, Mastrchf91, simply passed as GA without comment). I have no disagreements with that assessment, but this is mainly to confirm the process for historical purposes.

No problems, so still a good article. --M ASEM 14:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm simply stunned that a second review was needed! Just kidding, sorry for not making a log of the review, but I guess it just slipped my mind.  Nevertheless, it's a very good article.  Mastrchf91 (t/c) 02:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
