This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

*''[[The Simpsons]]'' contains frequent references to the film.<ref name="Irwin">((cite book|author1=Irwin, William |author2=Skoble, Aeon J. |author3=Conard, Mark T. |date= 2001|title= The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer|publisher= Open Court Publishing|isbn= 0-8126-9433-3|url-access= registration|url= https://archive.org/details/simpsonsphilosop00irwi))</ref><ref>((cite web | title=D'oh!

In the episode "[[A Streetcar Named Marge]]", Bart speaks in a [[British English|British accent]] and says "Can I slog off school tomorrow? Got a pain in me gulliver", similarly to how Alex says "Bit of a pain in the gulliver, mum" as an excuse to miss school. In the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror III]]" (29 October 1992), [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] dresses up as Alex DeLarge from the film. Also, in the episode "[[Duffless]]" (18 February 1993), as a result of [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]]'s [[Electroconvulsive therapy|electroshock therapy]], Bart experiences difficulty in reaching for the cupcakes after dinner, in a manner similar to the effects of Alex's therapy; in particular, one shot parodies the film, with Bart looking up at the cupcakes on the table, in the same way Alex looks up to a naked woman's [[breast]]s after his therapy. In the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror XXI]]", at the end of a segment titled "Master and Cadaver", [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] is seen wearing Alex's hat and eyelash. She drinks milk from her bottle with the film's theme song playing. On 19 October 2014, the show parodied the film with a segment titled "A Clockwork Yellow" in the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror XXV]]".<ref>((cite news|last1=Fowler|first1=Matt|title=SDCC 14: The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror Doing Clockwork Orange, Weird Al to Perform for the Show, More|url=http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/07/26/sdcc-14-the-simpsons-treehouse-of-horror-doing-clockwork-orange-weird-al-to-perform-songs-from-the-show-more|accessdate=15 October 2014|work=[[IGN]]|date=26 July 2014))</ref>
* There have been many references to the film on ''[[South Park]]'' (when asked to name something he considered a mind-altering work of art, series co-creator [[Trey Parker]] said, "It's super cliché, but ''A Clockwork Orange'' really did fuck me up".)<ref>((cite web|website=Exclaim.ca|url=http://exclaim.ca/Features/Questionnaire/trey_parker_matt_stone-south_park_team|title=Trey Parker, Matt Stone ''South Park'' team))</ref> In the show's controversial 201st episode, "[[201 (South Park)|201]]" (2010), Mitch Connor ([[Eric Cartman|Cartman]]'s hand-puppet) pretends to be a black man and asks to use the telephone at someone's house, alluding to the similar scene in ''A Clockwork Orange''. In episode 206, "[[Coon 2: Hindsight]]" (2010), the scene where the Coon attacks the rest of his gang was reminiscent of the scene in which Georgie of Alexʼ ''Clockwork Orange'' droogs insists things be run in a "new way" that entails less power for Alex, who responds by attacking them while walking in order to re-establish his leadership.<ref name="avclub">((cite web|url=http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-coon-2-hindsight,46804/|title=The Coon 2: Hindsight|last=Modell|first=Josh|date=27 October 2010|publisher=[[The A.V. Club]]|accessdate=1 November 2010))</ref>
*In the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "[[Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!]]" (2009), the militaristic [[reform school]] the boys are sent to after getting busted uses the Ludovico technique in order to stop Phineas and Ferb from using their imagination.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.tv.com/Phineas+and+Ferb/Phineas+and+Ferb+Get+Busted!++(Parts+1+%26+2)/episode/1226608/trivia.html?tag=content_wrap;episode_header|work=TV.com|title=Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!

* In the [[Archer (2009 TV series)|''Archer'']] episode "A Going Concern" (3 February 2011), Archer takes measures to stop the sale of ISIS, including using the modified [[Ludovico technique]].
*In "Contorno", the fifth episode of season 3 of ''[[Hannibal (TV series)|Hannibal]]'' (2015), the same section of [[Gioachino Rossini]]'s ''[[The Thieving Magpie]]'' (as used in ''A Clockwork Orange'') was played on a [[record player]] during a fight between [[Jack Crawford (character)|Jack Crawford]] and [[Hannibal Lecter]] in [[Florence]], [[Italy]]. Executive producer [[Bryan Fuller]] described the scene as "a full-on homage to Kubrick's ''A Clockwork Orange''" on Twitter.<ref>((cite web |title= Bryan Fuller on Twitter: "@leogormano Rossini's "The Thieving Magpie" |url= https://twitter.com/bryanfuller/status/617674722076196864))</ref>
*In ''[[Zoku Owarimonogatari]]'' (an installment of the ''[[Monogatari Series]]''), episode 5 (2019) contained a scene in which the character of Yotsugi was asked to look for a location that was etched onto the back of the main character, Koyomi Araragi. When she lifted his shirt, she discovered that there were no markings and the two characters had a skit together which featured the aforementioned Koyomi with the same machine on his head that was used by Alex DeLarge in the infamous Aversion Therapy scene. The following scene then switched between shots of Koyomi with the machine on his head as well as Yotsugi in the well known "droog costume" as she whips the air around her.
*In season 2, episode 1 of ''[[Clone High]]'', the characters that had been frozen for the previous 20 years undergo an "''A Clockwork Orange'' style montage" (as quoted in the show) in which they're forced to watch a presentation, put on by [[Principal Scudworth]], explaining everything that had happened in the time they were frozen. This scene is inspired by the "[[Ludovico Technique]]" therapy that Alex undergoes.
