Simpsons sat in front of the TV, mise-en-scene credits are on a TV screen, there was a family guy episode in which they started the show in the style of the Simpsons i.e. the opening couch sequence that is seen in every episode.
In the Halloween episode we also see Bart pretending to be Rod Serling in a suit. They are creating a pastiche of 'Rod Serling's night gallery'. within this pastiche we see famous paintings however they have been adapted to fit each of the Simpsons characters into one of the paintings. We see Homer as Van Gogh, Lisa as Picasso and also as the 'Scream' by Edward Munch, Maggie as Salvador Dali and Homer Chasing Bart as Eester.
-Self Reflexivity - Marge says to Bart to warn about this 'scary programme'
- 'War of the Worlds broadcast' - read out Orson Welles book as a news paper report and people believed it.
- 3 separate films in one episode - Homer & the devil which is based on a 1941 film. - The devil & Daniel Webster
- Irony - Homer is in charge of a nuclear power plant yet he is supposed to be very stupid
- Irony - Ned Flanders is the Devil yet he is supposed to be a Christian
- NY Hells Kitchen - Homer sells his soul for a doughnut
- 'Hey Bart' (Devil) 'Hey' (Bart) - they know each other - Bart is a trouble causer
- Ironic punishment - Homer is fed doughnuts until he pops
- Hired a lawyer who had watched Mattlock Layer is a bar and he said the sound wasn't great but he got the gist - he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.
