Favorite "Simpsons Couch Gag?"

**Fibermouse** · 06-15-2011, 11:23 AM

I don't remember a Blue Man Group one.

It was used for DABF09 "The Old Man and the Key" and DABF17 "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge". The family rushes in, but they can't sit down because the Blue Man Group is performing in front of the couch.

It's also worth mentioning that Dan Castellaneta adds a perfectly timed "What the--?" from Homer at the end.

My favorite Simpsons couch gag would have to be the one where they are dressed as characters from anime. Lisa is dressed as Sailor Moon, Bart is dressed as Astro Boy, Homer is dressed as Ultra Man, Maggie is dressed as Pikachu from Pokemon, and I believe Marge is dressed as a character from an anime series called Gatchaman.

One of my favorites that hasn't been mentioned yet is the M.C. Escher parody.

The one where the movers take away the couch before they can get to it. It's only funny because of Homer's reaction, though.

I always liked the one where the family members crash into each other and they all shatter into pieces.
Another is where the room is upside down and they all fall out of the couch because it's on the ceiling.

My favorite will always be the one where they get squished by the Monty Python foot. Simple, elegent, and hilarious. Exactly what a couch gag should be.

I'm not particuarly a fan of the show, but I have found a number of the couch gags very funny. If I had to pick a favourite, I'd have to say the one with Freddy and Jason waiting for the family to gather.

There's a downside to that one though; Jason was given dialogue.

That in itself kind of ruined the joke for me.
