    Sometimes the Simpsons parodied things so well, that it’s only later on in life that I realize iconic and hilarious Simpson moments were actually parodies.

    The Cape Fear episode. The Citizen Kane episode. The Thelma and Louise episode. The Planet of the Apes musical.

    fuckin’ classics

      The Planet of the Apes musical.

      This one threw my head for a spin. Had to take a deep dive to disentangle what was original and what the Simpsons added.

      And frankly, some of the Simpsons musical numbers would have done the original films credit.
