"Take your stinking paws off of me, you damn dirty ape!"

"I didn't say he was dead; I said he was sleeping with the fishes."

Bonus Erudite (With Extra Added Bonus Connection):
"The Duke of New York, A-Number-1, the Big Man, that's who!"

Erudite: Simpsons, maybe?

Plebian: Planet of the Apes, but it, too, was probably a line used in The Simpsons.

Bonus: John Carpenter's Escape from Springfield!

Erudite is indeed the Simpsons; can you name the source or the circumstances?

Plebian is correct.

Did John Carpenter ever do a Simpsons episode? (or did the Simpsons ever do a John Carpenter parody?)

Is the fish-sleeping being done by Troy McClure who had the starring role in "Planet of the Apes" the Musical?

Oh, and Snake from the Simpsons is based on Snake from EFNY.

Yes indeedy.

See, this is part of what makes the PCQOTD great: people finding other connections that I did not have in mind.

Point to Mr. FitzSimons, but I leave the EFNY/POTA connection open, to see if anybody can get the one I had in mind.
