Mr. & Mrs. Smith‘s Reference in The Simpsons
“Treehouse of Horror” is a special part of The Simpsons that happens every year, starting in 1990. It’s known for telling funny, non-canonical stories that often parody horror movies and shows.
The Simpsons cleverly referenced Mr. & Mrs. Smith in their Treehouse of Horror XVIII episode, where Homer and Marge discover they are secret assassins for rival organizations.
Homer and Marge as assassins were epic, but honestly, the segment didn’t feel very Halloween-y. Still, it showcased how iconically Jolie and Pitt played their parts in the film, influencing pop culture in a huge way.
