===== 1.0 INTRODUCTION =============================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello folks, welcome to yet another of my Simpsons FAQs. I wrote
this because there were in-depth guides for collector cards and
wasps (YuGiOhFm2002's great guides), but no gags guide. So here it
goes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2 Importance of Gags
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The gags were thrown into Simpsons Hit & Run as little references to
the television show (as if there weren't enough references already).
You also need to collect all the gags to get 100% in each level and
the game.

===== 3.0 GAG REFERENCES ===========================================
If a reference has already been listed for a previous level, it
won't be listed again.
There are really only three levels. If you're looking for gag
references in one level, you'll probably find it in the similar
level.
Here are the similar levels:
-Levels 1, 4, and 7.
-Levels 2 and 5.
-Levels 3 and 6.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Level 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- - - - - - - -
TV in the house
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You've seen the TV set in practically every episode. A few memorable
moments with the television include "There's No Disgrace Like Home"
where Homer pawns the TV set to pay for family therapy, and "Scenes
from the Class Struggle in Springfield" when Grampa breaks the TV
and they have to buy a new one.
- - - - - - - - -
Any of the swings
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The swings have been all over the place as well. Two touching swing
scenes include Homer and Ned's late-night talk in "When Flanders
Failed", and Ralph and Lisa's reconciliation in "I Love Lisa".
- - - - - - - -
Backyard grill
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The grill has seen it's share of on-screen action. Two big
appearances were "Treehouse of Horrors I" and "Lisa the Vegetarian".
- - - - - -
Talky tiki
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Homer's mix of the wooden tiki statue and fire didn't quite pan out
in "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses".
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Flanders' bomb shelter
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
When Bart discovers a comet in "Bart's Comet", the townspeople all
take shelter in Flanders' bomb shelter, despite the lack of room,
food, and oxygen.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Radioactive gas vent
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As a result of Homer's intentional hyper-obesity in "King- Size
Homer", he became the gas vent technician and nearly let out the
toxic gas. Ironically, his obese butt is what prevents the escape
of the gas.
- - - - - - - - - -
Homer's workstation
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Homer has caused quite a bit of trouble at work, but not as much as
the time he prevents a nuclear meltdown by guessing which is the
correct button, in the episode entitled "Homer Defined".
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
School fire extinguisher
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
During a Smarch PTA meeting in "Treehouse of Horror VI", Principal
Skinner asks the parents to decide whether or not the school should
get the fire extinguishers recharged for free. They give a unanimous
"nay", much to Willy's dismay.
- - - - - - - - -
School fire alarm
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The school alarm never seems to go off when there is a fire. Bart's
devious girlfriend Jessica pulls the alarm in "Bart's Girlfriend",
and Dolph pulls the alarm for a laugh in "School Shopping Network".
- - - - - - -
Frostillicus
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Apu takes advantage of Jasper's frozen state in "Lisa the Simpson"
by using him as a sideshow attraction.
- - - - - - - - -
Larry the looter
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bart plays this game of damage and thievery in "Radio Bart".
- - - - - - - - -
Squishee machine
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The squishee machine is probably the Kwik-E-Mart's top export, so
naturally it appears often. Two good episodes are "Boy Scoutz 'N the
Hood" where Bart and Milhouse go on a squishee bender, and
"Treehouse of Horror IX" when Apu gets violently murdered and tossed
in the squishee machine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 Level 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- - - - - - -
Cat catapult
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Homer helps out Chief Wiggum by turning himself in for bootlegging
alcohol, but then he finds out the penalty is a catapult launch. Rex
Banner tests the machine with a cat in "Homer vs. The Eighteenth
Amendment".
- - - - - - -
Cement truck
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Cletus and cousin Merl's smell hound has an accident with the cement
truck in "Brother From Another Series".
- - - - - - -
Pickled eggs
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Moe's Tavern needs a designated driver, so the only way to choose is
with the same method they use to choose the pope: drawing pickled eggs
from a jar. Barney grabs the accursed black egg in "The City of New
York Vs. Homer Simpson".
- - - - - -
Love tester
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Moe gets his own spin-off show where his Love Tester is possessed by
Grampa's soul. He takes the Love Tester along on a hilarious date in
"The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase".
- - - - - - - -
Flaming drinks
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Moe steals Homer's drink idea in "Flaming Moe", driving Homer to give
up the million-dollar secret ingredient.
- - - - - -
Rat's milk
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mayor Quimby's corruption knows no bounds in "Mayored to the Mob"
when he allows the mob to sell rat's milk to the school. For a little
bit of kickback of course.
- - - - - - - - - -
Moleman at the DMV
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hans Moleman is always getting jerked around by the DMV. He shows up
in there often, but one "lucky" visit in "Selma's Choice" leads to a
date with Selma.
- - - - - -
Try-N-Save
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Try-N-Save is the scene of Bart's crime in "Marge Be Not Proud".
His game-stealing leads to a merry christmas ending.
- - - - - - - - -
Herman's missile
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Although Herman's Military Antiques lets customers browse freely,
Homer isn't allowed to ride the missile in "Homer the Vigilante".
- - - - -
Dumpster
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Otto loses his job in "The Otto Show" and is forced to live in a
dumpster behind the Kwik-E-Mart. Well, not a dumpster. A Trash-Co
waste disposal unit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3 Level 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- - - - - - -
Killer robot
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In "Homer Phobia", Bart and Lisa see an actual robot from the movie
"Clank Clank, You're Dead". That poor midget...
- - - - - - - -
Radioactive Man
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bart's comic book hero gets a big screen upgrade in "Radioactive Man".
The campy 70s version of Radioactive Man was not used, thank goodness.
- - - - - - - - -
Wall E. Weasel's
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The family celebrates Bart's birthday at Wall E. Weasel's in "Radio
Bart", but Maggie doesn't take too much joy in the ball pit.
- - - - -
Hot pants
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Homer's journey for his soul mate in "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro
Homer" (The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer), ends with a wild hot
pants party on the beach.
- - - - - - - -
The observatory
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The mob of townspeople rush to destroy the observatory in "Bart's
Comet", but later on Lisa gets her first kiss from Nelson near the
observatory in "Lisa's Date With Density".
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Perpetual motion machine
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Lisa builds a perpetual motion machine in "The PTA Disbands", but
Homer scolds her for not obeying the laws of thermodynamics.
- - - - -
Telescope
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
While on punishment for an hilarious big-butt balloon, Bart calls
the observatory about something in the sky. Skinner's hopes of
discovering a heavenly body are shattered when Bart discovers the
comet in "Bart's Comet".
- - - - - - - - - -
Matter transporter
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Homer gets a matter transporter at one hell of a bargain; only 35
cents! The frighteningly high risk of catastrophic something becomes
apparent when Bart becomes a fly in "Fly Vs. Fly".
- - - - -
Camp Bart
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bart and the kid gang take over Camp Krusty in "Kamp Krusty". The
black Camp Bart flag proudly waves where the Camp Krusty flag once
did.
- - - - - - - - -
Lord of the boars
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bart and the Springfield Elementary kids get stranded on a deserted
island in "Das Bus". The kids fight amongst each other for food
until a tender boar makes the scene.

Krusty lamp
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bart's hero, Krusty the clown, is framed for robbery in "Krusty Gets
Busted". He is forced to give up all of his precious Krusty
paraphernalia during the town's anti-Krusty rallies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Clown bed
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Word".

4.2 Guide Credits
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to...
1. Matt Groening. The man created 'The Simpsons', which has been on
the air for 14 years and is still going strong. Shine on you crazy
bearded bastard!
2. If I thank Matt Groening, then I also have to praise the hundreds
of individuals who are involved with the show. To the writers, voice
actors, animators, producers, gofers, and every other person
involved... thank you!
3. Wilson Lau gets mad props for his kick ass 'Bart vs. the Space
Mutants' guide. It inspired me to write guides for Simpsons video

making the game.
5. The Simpsons Archive (www.snpp.com) for the most comprehensive

health...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
4.3 Contact Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So, the address is:
[email protected]
The issue of too many e-mails isn't a problem, so I'll most likely
respond to any questions (for now). But, I do delete e-mails without
a subject. Put something like 'Gags guide' to be sure I read it.
