Eng “The creative idea: reinterpret Johann Strauss's famous waltz "the Blue Danube" (used in Kubrick's famous Space Odyssey) by punctuating it with crunchy chewing noises. Impossible to believe that this film was not directly inspired by the legendary "space chips" episode of The Simpsons! Plagiarism, lazy remake or simple coincidence? Be the judge!”
Fr « L'idée créative : réinterpréter la célèbre valse de Johann Strauss "le Danube bleu" (utilisée dans la fameuse Odyssée de l'espace de Kubrick) en la rythmant avec des bruits de mastication croustillantes. Impossible de croire que ce film n'a pas été directement inspiré par l'épisode mythique des Simpsons intitulé "space chips". Plagiat, clin d'œil ou simple coïncidence? À vous de juger! »

Seriously, do us ad men have to keep track on all 767 Simpsons episodes that been done now too? It’s hard enough to check against all award archives as it is to make sure an idea have t been done before

@Eric I see your point. But this episode is supposed to be (it’s what’s written on wikipedia) one of the most famous one of all times. There are plenty of videos of this precise scene all over YouTube. So it’s pretty easy to find the reference.
