The Smashing Pumpkins appeared in the episode Homerpalooza as the main members of the Hullabalooza Rock Festival. They are impressed with Homer Simpson because of his ability to take blows to the stomach so easily and make him the main attraction. When Homer dodges one cannonball at the risk of dying, he parts with the Smashing Pumpkins, as they promise never to forget him.
