Cape Feare is a beloved episode of The Simpsons, but some of its best moments arent necessarily part of the film spoof. There is no moment in either version of Cape Fear where Max Cady steps on rake after rake after rake, or sings the entire score of the H.M.S. Pinafore. However, in addition to being one of The Simpsons best Sideshow Bob episodes, there are some funny riffs on the grim thriller Cape Fear. Of all the jokes derived from cinema, the best is probably Bob's finger tattoos. You are likely familiar with the concept of somebody having love and hate tattooed on their fingers. Well, Simpsons characters only have four fingers, so Bob has to settle for luv and hat although it is phonetically clearly hate. There is also a nice twist where Bob is trying to annoy the Simpsons at the movies, but Homer ends up annoying him more. If there had been a H.M.S. Pinafore movie, this may have been higher on the list.
