One of the all-time most brilliantly absurd Easter eggs in TV history appears in Bones' season five episode "The Dwarf in the Dirt."
In one of the opening scenes, an incredibly familiar, non-human X-ray is visible for a few seconds behind Vincent (Ryan Cartwright) - yes, it's none other than Homer Simpson himself.
This wasn't merely a cute case of Fox giving some free advertising to one of their most famous shows, but a nod to the fact that Homer's voice actor, Dan Castellaneta, makes a fleeting live-action appearance in the episode as Officer Novarro.
The X-ray is easily missed, but if you do notice it, you're sure to end up choking on your drink - and Fox clearly knew this.
