Chalkboard: I will not make flatulent noises in class

Couch Gag: The family all do a little dance in front of the couch, then they jump on

(Mr. Burns and Smithers watch security camera footage of Homer inviting the guys over for the big fight.)
Smithers: Um, he's Homer Simpson, sir. One of your drones from Sector 7-G.
Mr. Burns: Excellent. I'm so keen on seeing Watson vs. Tatum II, I'd even go to an employee's house. Oh, I can picture it now. The screen door rusting off it's filthy hinges, mangy dogs staggering about, looking vainly for a place to die.
Smithers: Permission to speak frankly, sir?
Mr. Burns: Permission granted.
Smithers: Well, you are quite wealthy--
Mr. Burns: Thank you, Smithers. Your candor is most refreshing.
Smithers: No, no, I mean, why don't you pay for the fight yourself?
Mr. Burns: Ah, Smithers, the big title fight is one of those rare occasions that I savor the sights, the sounds and (sniffs) ah, yes, the smells of men.
Smithers: You haven't lost the common touch, sir.

(In bed, Homer and Marge argue about the illegal cable.)
Marge: But Homer, I’m afraid that cable has become an evil presence in our home.
Homer: (Sternly) Marge, I never put my foot down about anything.
Marge: No--
Homer: But I am severely tempted to do it over this. (Raises foot)
Marge: Oh, Homer.
Homer: Marge, I’m sorry. I think it’s coming down.
Marge: No, Homer! Not--
Homer: (Sticks foot over floor) It’s coming down. My foot, it’s--
Marge: No!
Homer: That’s it, Marge. The cable stays. The foot has spoken. (Slams foot down)

(Marge inquires about Sunday school.)
Marge: So, what did you children learn about today?
Bart: Hell.
Homer: Bart!
Bart: Well, that's what we learned about. I sure as hell can't tell you we learned about hell unless I say "hell," can I?
Homer: Eh, The lad has a point.
Bart: Hell, yes!
Marge: Bart!
Bart: (Singing) Hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell.
Marge: Bart, you're no longer in Sunday school. Don't swear!

(Marge and the kids come home from shopping.)
Homer: Oh, hey, hey. Family, family, come here. I have an announcement to make. The Simpsons have cable!
Bart and Lisa: (In unison) Cable!?
(The kids excitedly clamour in front of the TV.)
Homer: That's right, 68 channels. MTV for the kids, (To Marge) VH-1 for us. Sixteen hundred hours of quality programming, every day!
Marge: Homer, we've talked about cable before. Do you really think we can afford it?
Homer: (Chuckles) Nothing a month? Yeah, I think we can swing that.
Marge: Mmm. Are you sure this is legal?
Homer: Don't worry, Marge. Take a look at this.
(Homer hands Marge a pamphlet entitled, "So, You've Decided To Steal Cable.")
Marge: (Reads from pamphlet) "Myth: It's only fair to pay for quality first-run movies. Fact: Most movies shown on cable get two stars or less, and are repeated ad nauseam." Hmm. I don't know.
Homer: (Enticingly) Marge.
(Homer turns the channel.)
Woman Announcer: Hear Me Roar, the network for women.
Woman TV Host: In the next half-hour, we'll show you how to cut your first-aid bill in half by making your own band-aids.
Marge: Ooh, that's a good idea.

While Homer is imagining being locked in a jail cell and he turns around to find he is in his own home, he turns to look at his family. There is a close up of his horrified face, and the people in the background watching the game have no eyes. The rest of their face is fine, but their eyes are missing.

At Sunday school, Milhouse's jumper changes from black to red between shots.

When the kids run out of the back door, Homer drops a blue box. In the next shot it's yellow with red lines on the edges.

Even though this episode is called "Homer vs. Lisa and the Eighth Commandment", some sects of Christianity (particularly Lutheran and Roman Catholic) have "Thou shalt not steal" as the seventh commandment.

North by Northwest

Homer jumping out in front of the illegal cable salesman's truck to flag it down and stop it resulting in getting hit in mirrors a scene in the 1959 film.

Professional Boxing

Heavyweight boxer Drederick Tatum is modeled after former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Tatum's manager, Lucious Sweet is basically an exact copy of Don King. Watson, Tatum's opponent, is the Simpsons' version of James "Buster" Douglas.
