Line 27:
* In "Lisa the Skeptic", Mr. Burns tells Smithers to "use the amnesia ray" to make the town forget that he admitted the power plant accidentally created mutants. Smithers reveals that the amnesia ray is a handgun. Fast forward to ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' and one bullet to the brain makes the titular main character forget his past (he lives because of his [[Healing Factor]] and super hard bones).
* In "The Squirt and the Whale", there is a parody trailer for a film called "Tic–Tac–Toe: X v. O", which was suppose to be a parody of movie licensing. Considering that there are going to be films based off the games Battleship and Ouija, we can't be far off the Tic-Tac-Toe film.
* In "Itchy and Scratchy Land", Homer and Marge go to a 70s nostalgia bar, where Marge points out how the bartender looks like [[John Travolta
* In "myPods and Boomsticks", Bart says that his family shouldn't fear his new friend's family; one of the reasons being their last name is Bin Laden. Similar to the South Park and Family Guy examples down the list, this becomes much funnier after the acts of Seal Team 6.
** Also, in "The Otto Show", one of the goods being sold is a Spinal Tap shirt with the band kicking Mommar Gaddaffi in the butt. Much like the Family Guy and Looney Tunes examples, Gaddaffi was hated by the Egyptian people and thus made his departure and death more satisfying.
Line 59:
** In a similar vein, "Meet The Quagmires" had Peter and Brian living in an alternate reality where Lois and Quagmire are married to each other. Lois mentions that America finally found Osama bin Laden in the cast of ''[[Mad TV]]'' (which Quagmire adds is, "...the one place no one thought to look"). What used to be a [[Take That]] on ''[[Mad TV]]'' being an unpopular, hardly-recognized [[Expy]] of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' becomes funnier (in a dark way) now that both ''[[Mad TV]]'' and Osama bin Laden are dead (''[[Mad TV]]'' got canceled in 2009, while Osama bin Laden was found and killed in Pakistan by Navy SEALS in 2011).
* "Screwed The Pooch" takes a ton of [[Take That|Take Thats]] toward Ted Turner and depicts him as being [[Too Dumb to Live]] and having sex with a dog. Guess who founded [[Cartoon Network|the network]] that saved the show from cancellation.
* Meg's interaction with the package of hot dogs in ''Stewie Kills Lois'' would be a lot different these days following [[
* Part of the episode "Thanksgiving" is devoted to criticizing the Iraq War, which officially ended a month after it aired.
