5 Guest Directed Couch Gags From The Simpsons

October 7, 2013

The Simpsons has featured celebrity guest stars for years and years, but inviting special guest directors to come up with couch gags is a relatively new idea, beginning with Banksy in 2010. Some strange stuff has happened to The Simpsons clan upon sitting down to watch TV in the opening sequence, but perhaps nothing stranger than what these directors came up with. Here are 5 guest directed couch gags from The Simpsons:

Guillermo del Toro Couch Gag (Treehouse of Horror XXIV)

Good ol’ Groundskeeper Hellboy.

Robot Chicken Couch Gag

The Simpsons as a line of toys? Whodathunkit?

John Kricfalusi Couch Gag

This should’ve gone on for at least another 22 minutes.

Banksy Couch Gag

So that’s how they made the toys for the Robot Chicken opening.

Bill Plympton Couch Gag

The touching story of a man and his couch.
