a) Intertextuality
b) Self Awareness
c) Parody and Satire
2. The simpsons 138th episode references a number of things through intertextuality, mainly talk shows. The episode itself is spoofed as a talk show hosted by Troy McClure. The cash register that shows the price of Maggie is displayed as "NRA4EVER", which is a reference to the National Rifle Association.
3. This episode is extremely self aware, because it's being hosted by one of the characters in the show, who remains in character (because his character is a celebrity host), but puts the show out of character (by displaying the Simpson family house as a backdrop). Certain episodes are showed and discussed within the episode, by the characters.
4. Some cartoons that are obviously influenced by The Simpsons are Family Guy and American Dad.
