While I've watched some bad films in my cult films class, one of the worst we've had to watch was the thoroughly unwatchable What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (which I quickly mentioned here) Well, tonight, while watching the Simpsons, as I do every Sunday, to my surprise, they included a reference to the film as Lisa pushed Maggie down the stairs as she was in a wheelchair and trying to spell out on her "phonetic frog" - "but, I love you."

What's funny about the reference is I guarantee you that over 75% of the people watching this episode didn't get the reference - nor should they as that movie was absolutely horrific. I just found it odd that they would reference such an old, unwatchable movie on such a "modern" show such as The Simpsons...
