Homer Defined/References

== Movie Moments ==
*When Homer stops the meltdown, he silently looks at the timer which was stopped at 007. This is a reference to when an atomic bomb was stopped with seven seconds to spare and the timer showed 007, the number (and film name) of James Bond, done by Sean Connery in Goldfinger.
==Trivia==
*Aristotle's name indicates that he is from Greece, or at the very least he was of Greek descent.
*"Homer Defined" is named after Homer's "admission" to the dictionary.
*Otto Mann can be heard briefly humming the beat of the song Frankenstein by The Edgar Winter Group when he leaves his bus to enter the Kwik-E-Mart.
*Mr. Burns wears a toupee in the photograph that is superimposed when he is communicating with Kent Brockman via speaker phone.
*Near the end of this episode, there is a scene of Magic Johnson "pulling a Homer" by slipping while trying to make a basket during a game and sliding into the arms of several adoring cheerleaders. Exactly three weeks after this episode aired, on November 7, 1991, Magic Johnson announced that he was HIV-positive, which he got from unprotected sexual intercourse with many women, which, at the time, was considered shocking, as HIV and AIDS were thought to be diseases only caught by drug addicts sharing needles, faulty blood transfusions, and gay male intercourse.
*Like Magic Johnson in "Homer Defined," LeBron James would be shown calling Homer and asking for his advice in the 2005 episode Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass. However, unlike with Magic Johnson, LeBron James sought advice related to on-court dancing rather than game playing strategy.
*During the game show, Wheel of Fortune, while Abe Simpson and Jasper Beardsley was watching it, when the contestant played by Dan Castellaneta said, "Three Loins in the Fountain", he meant to say "Three Coins in the Fountain", a 1954 song by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn and was performed by Dinah Shore. It was also a movie in the same year starring Clifton Webb, Dorothy McGuire, Jean Peters, Louis Jourdan, Rossano Brazzi and Maggie McNamara. The category for this puzzle on Wheel of Fortune should have said "Song and Movie", but unfortunately there is no entire show inside the TV. It has been hidden while Abe and Jasper STILL watched it.
*When Bart finds out that Milhouse is not allowed to play with him, Bart says "Bad influence, my butt".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEfL52XS1eg However, in Canada the original line of "Bad influence, my ass" was still in many reruns.
*The phrase "Pull a Homer" would later be used by Mark Hamill in a tweet dated December 16, 2015, just prior to the release of The Force Awakens. In context, it actually referred to a scene in "I Married Marge" where Homer obliviously gave away the infamous plot twist of The Empire Strikes Back in front of a crowd of people waiting to see the movie rather than the term as defined in the episode.
==Goofs==
* When Bart looks at the pictures of himself and Milhouse, all of the pictures of Milhouse have his glasses with black rims instead of red ones.
* The closing credits are white instead of yellow.
