The Simpsons was a cartoon television show on Earth in the late 20th century and early 21st century enjoyed by Humans.
At Ood Operations, there were various settings for the way Ood could speak. One of them included the catchphrase "D'oh!", a known saying of Homer Simpson, the main character of the show. (DW: Planet of the Ood)
Several specimens of the construct known as Cuddlesomes could be heard to use catchphrases like "Ay Caramba!" and "Eat my shorts", which are closely associated to that used by Bart Simpson. (BFA: Cuddlesome)
Bart Simpson (or someone resembling him) attended Bonjaxx's birthday party on Maruthea. (DWM: Party Animals)
While the Doctor is being pushed in the trolley he says "Worst. Rescue. Ever!" (DW: The End of Time)
- This is a possible reference to the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons catchphrase where he will say something like "Worst. Episode. Ever." or "Worst. Convention. Ever."
