I still like when Homer groans, "Waldo, where are you ?" Just then Waldo walks by the kitchen window, looks in while passing and smiles.

The episode when Sideshow Bob was trying to kill Bart, they were doing a homage to Cape Fear. Since the characters only have four fingers, Bob had LUV and HĀT on his knuckles. Pure genius.

A friend of mine (who was a die hard Simpsons fan as I am) and I played a Simpsons Trivia game against each other. After what seems like hours we were tied as we continued to answer each question effortlessly. I then recieved the question, what was Skinner's prisoner number...I was stumped! I remember saying "who would know something like that!" Without any effort my friend immediately answered! Although he majored in business he was a theater minor and has acted in several productions. He had seen Les Miz live a few times...I had never seen it. But I guarantee I have never forgotten it since!

The scanner for Maggie also read other things besides the price. In 2013, the scanner read 666 for Maggie in the Treehouse of Horror XXIV episode to match the Halloween theme. In 1995, during a parody episode, the scanner read "NRA4EVER".

In Stark Raving Dad, Homer said that he had never heard of MTV or VH1; but in the previous season’s Homer vs. Lisa and the Eighth Commandment, he name-checked both networks while talking about the joys of cable television: “MTV for the kids, VH1 for us…”

Another aspect of prisoner #24601: the digits add up to 13, a number associated with serious misfortune, symbolizing that Seymour and Valjean before him were just unlucky to have been imprisoned.
A subtler echo of Les Mis in other fiction is when characters have other prisoner numbers with digits that still have a sum of 13.

24601 was also used on sideshow Bob's prison uniform. Pretty sure it was the episode when he becomes Mayor but I could be wrong about that.

There are YouTube edits that put the McBain movie in order... it's a fun watch!

Who doesn't know to pay attention to headstones and credits when the Halloween episodes begin and end?

[axels]

I think the Mac Bane movie was the number 1 insane details no one noticed in the Simpsons.

[ChrisStevens-rlms]

0:54 you didn't notice 'eaten by mistake' which actually happened to Pinchy in "Lisa Gets an "A""

[ΕυάγγελοςΦώσκολος]

5:53. Another interesting fact. Jean Val Jean stole his officer's identity after he was killed. Sound familiar?

[jsutton]

The top ten Hans Moleman moments is long overdue.

Bart wearing number 15 is an homage to the legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr

[quoththekraven]

My all time favourite

Bart: "Ah, the life of a frog, that's the life for me..."
Marge: "Bart, how would you like to spend the next three months in France?"
Bart: "France??? Wow!"

[holdmybeers]

Marge’s hidden rabbit ears under her hair. (If you ever played the arcade game)

[gaffneyrailroading]

Krusty may not be exactly Homer in disguise, but they do share one thing: they're both voiced by the great Dan Castellaneta.

[Batters]

2:35 Flanders pass? Yeah I noticed that at the time.

[chrisanderson]

Isn't the Cider season pass, a Steve Wozniak joke? Founder of Apple whose employee number is 1?
