After Bart is caught stealing at the Try-n-Save: Homer: We live in a society of laws. What do you think we took you to see those Police Academy Movies for…for fun? Well I didn’t hear anyone laughing…except at that guy that made sound effects, heh heh. Where was I, oh yeah stay out of my booze. And on a similar note, when Marge trains to become a policewoman: Homer: When I first heard Marge was joining the police academy I thought it would be fun and zany like that movie, Spaceballs. Instead it was dark and disturbing like that movie Police Academy. ---
