Biography[]
In "Love Your Trophy", O.J. Simpson was reported on the Quahog 5 News, where they brought up how he was playing golf and half removing his golfing glove, that evidence has been found to prove irrefutably that Simpson was innocent. No further details are given however.
In "Peter Griffin: Husband, Father, ... Brother?", Stewie made a drunken confession, that he was the one who convinced O.J. Simpson to murder his wife, by making him feel suspicious about her cheating on him.
In "Long John Peter", Peter Griffin is shown emerging from the Brown-Simpson home, bloodstained, wearing one glove and carrying a bloodstained knife, just before O.J. arrives and enters, with the apparent intention of playing a game of Boggle. The former football player is then heard making a terrible discovery, presumably of two bodies, and speculating about what was going to happen, and what would now happen.
In "The Juice Is Loose", a disclaimer has to be made about the episode that places it in 2007, because Simpson had only been recently convicted of the robbery, and thus could not make it into the plotline. In the episode, Peter wins a game of golf with Simpson. After everyone tells Peter of O.J.'s history as a suspected murdered, he and his friends decide to try and trick Simpson into confessing. O.J, upon discovering Peter's intent, is hurt and begins to cry, causing Peter to change his opinion, and offers that O.J. Simpson comes to live with the Griffins. When the town begins to riot, O.J. makes a heartfelt speech that wins over the towns people. And then, for abruptly and for no apparent reason, he murders three Quahog residents and runs off, with Peter finally owning up to the truth.
In "Untitled Griffin Family History", Nate Griffin and his slave family escaped their plantation, hitching a ride on a horse-drawn carriage, driven by Al Cowlings, which mirrors how O.J. Simpson used Al Cowlings as a getaway driver after he killed his wife.
In "No Meals on Wheels", Brian and his black roommate and had completely opposite reactions to O.J. Simpson being found innocent. The black guy was happy and Brian was pissed. They immediately pulled guns on each other and decided that they should get new roommates.
In "Don't Be a Dickens at Christmas", Norm McDonald mentions O.J. in his rant over the word "'Twas", playing into the joke about how he got fired from Saturday Night Live for making too many O.J. Simpson jokes.
In "You Can't Handle the Booth!", a Xenomorph was in a courtroom scene that parodied the O.J. Simpson trial. The Xenomorph said that because his glove didn't fit, they must acquit.
In "Island Adventure", Brian and Stewie catch the castaways of Garbage Island up on the O.J. Simpson case.
In "Peter & Lois' Wedding", Cleveland told his family about how back in the 90's, he worked as the getaway driver for his innocent friend, O.J. Simpson, driving him and his dead wife's severed head to Mexico.
In "And Then There's Fraud", Peter and Chris sold fake knockoffs of O.J. Simpson's memorabilia, which caused the real O.J. to come on down in anger and kill them. The next thing you know, they're lying decapitated in a puddle of blood and Peter mentions proudly how O.J. signed his head.
