We've seen an Apple fan commercial actually being used by Apple in their iPod Touch marketing. That's just one example of YouTube's growing influence on pop culture bleeding over into the "mainstream" media. Another great example is this parody of one of the most popular YouTube videos out there, Noah's "Everyday" video where one man takes a photo of himself everyday for 6 years. Nobody does parodies better than the Simpsons, and so when Homer's life flashes before his eyes, it's not just 6 years, but 39!
Hardcore of the series might recognize some of the backdrops of Homer's childhood and adolescence, but most casual viewers will undoubtedly recognize the various costumes Homer has worn at the end of the "video" which comprises Homer's life within the timespan of the show. Very clever, and very funny.
