Fair use rationale for Image:Simpsons 8F02.png[edit]

Image:Simpsons 8F02.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Reference to the story of the golem[edit]

Could the robot story be a reference to the Hebrew golem story? It involves a greedy proprietor creating a slave, then being dissappointed in it, trying to destroy it, and getting crushed in the process. It seems deliberate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.82.215.200 (talk) 13:59, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That scene is a reference to the golem story (and it seems to me that it's a re-enenactment of a scene in a film somewhere). The rest of the story is largely based on Frankenstein, though. (Which, itself, is based on the golem stories.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 14:42, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

a "Duck Amuck" reference?[edit]

in the beginning of Bart's Nightmare, Bart uses his powers to make snowball II the cat "more interesting" and turns it into a creature that resembles daffy duck as he's redrawn at one point in the famous 1953 animated short "Duck Amuck". that includes the amphibian lower part of the cat's body and the umbrella for a tail (a flag in the original cartoon). and yet i see no mentioning of that in the article, any particular reason? Moleculo (talk) 17:29, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably no reliable source can be found to confirm that. CTJF83 20:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do the individual segments of this episode have their own names?[edit]

I think the title of this section covers the question adequately. If a source discusses such names, that could be particularly helpful, though screenshots of the title cards might be sufficient to resolve the question as well. DonIago (talk) 12:30, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
