Treehouse of Horror III (King Homer) T4 E5
Abraham Simpson tells his grandchildren a story about a movie he saw, titled King Homer: Marge presents herself to Mr. Burns for a mysterious expedition and is hired. They travel by ship to Ape Island in search of a giant ape named Homer. While searching, they encounter natives repeatedly chanting “Homer.” To find him, they plan to sacrifice Marge. Before doing so, they ring a bell, which attracts Homer, who is fighting a dinosaur. As he approaches, the dinosaur bites him, but he still manages to reach Marge, pick her up, and the two are immediately drawn to each other. Homer is then forced to set Marge down in a tree, as he is being shot between the legs and stomach. In retaliation, Homer eats Lenny. Gas bombs are then used against him; the first hits Mr. Burns by mistake, but the second successfully puts Homer to sleep. While unconscious, he is tied up and taken to a theater to be put on display. However, the flashing lights from photographers enrage him, causing him to break free and rampage through downtown Springfield, destroying the city and eating people. Eventually, he finds Marge and climbs a building, but due to his excessive weight from eating people, he collapses and faints. In the end, Marge promises to take care of him, and the two get married.

Treehouse of Horror VI (Atack of the 50ft. Eyesores) T7 E6
Homer orders a giant donut, but when he receives his (non-refundable) order, he feels cheated because it is not actually giant. He then takes one from the giant model, but the giant, enraged, comes to life, breaks free from its platform, and roars like Showa-era Godzilla.
All the giant signs begin to come to life. While Kent Brockman is reporting the news, he is eaten by one of these giants. A demon seizes Springfield’s school bus. The models start killing people and causing destruction, and due to their size, the police accidentally shoot a basketball player, mistaking him for a monster.
The demon, now carrying Bart on its shoulder, approaches the school. Bart tells it to destroy the building, and it complies. Meanwhile, the boy who ordered the donut confronts Homer, but Homer claims Flanders has it. When this fails and Bart tries saying Moe has it, Marge convinces Homer to give the boy the donut, which ends up causing more destruction.
Lisa notices a watermark on the donut and takes it to the owner. Eset tells them not to pay attention to the chaos. They start playing a song, which ultimately freezes the monsters in place.

Treehouse of Horror XXXVI (Homerzilla) T27 E5
HOMERZILLA
Abraham Simpson used to throw donuts into the sea, and everyone mocked him, but he did so to feed a sea creature and prevent it from killing everyone. One day, while preparing the donuts, he accidentally swallowed them and choked to death. With no one left to feed the monster Homerzilla, Eset went on a rampage, destroying the city. Although it was assumed that Homerzilla’s bones would break under his massive weight, this proved false. Homerzilla left the city in ruins and, like in the original film, was electrocuted—but this did not defeat him. When airplanes attacked him, he began playing with them. Despite Lisa’s attempts to stop him, nothing worked. Homerzilla eventually fell from a model, but some Japanese people helped him back up. Some kids complained that the movie was bad, so they decided to invest in a remake.
'ZILLA
The film begins with Homerzilla leaving the city to eat beer and wreak havoc on Tokyo. Homerzilla later attacks Gamera. After the movie failed commercially, the copies were thrown into the sea, which inadvertently awakened the real Homerzilla.
101 Miligates (T30 E15)

Thirst Trap: A Corporate Love Story
The episode features a fictional documentary directed by Peter Jackson titled "Salt You Need is Love", during which a poster for Kong vs. Smaug can be seen in his office as he is speaking, likely referencing crossover films like Godzilla vs. Kong and since both King Kong and Smaug have been in films he has directed in the past.
Treehouse of Horror (The Information Rage) T36 E5
During an event at sea, an interdimensional portal opened, from which two kaiju emerged: one blue and one red. Both caused destruction before exchanging breath attacks and engaging in battle with each other.
To counter them, Bart and Lisa piloted a Jaeger, managing to stop the red and blue kaijus, while the other four kaijus present showed signs of fear and did not intervene.
After three days of combat, the Jaeger and its pilots remained, observing the blue kaiju as it continued to fight.
