The Complete History of the Simpsons Couch Gag 

I mentioned that it would be interesting if the couch gag was the entire final episode, but the show they watch at the end is the first episode. This way the entire series would come full circle.

that couch got the most amount of character development in the series

Now where is my "ahoy ahoy"

My favourite couch gag is the one where they zoom out from the Simpson’s house and into outer space, which then further zooms out and we see some atoms which is then revealed to be the atoms that make up Homer’s forehead.

The Lipsyncing to a Kesha song couch gag that goes around Springfield involving most of the cast was fun

Not a 'Couch Gag', but Bart's "We'll really miss you Mrs. K." chalkboard tribute. 😢

For those who miss my usual intro, here it is: "Ahoy hoy, Lydia here from The Simpsons Theory," ✌️

My top 3 favorite couch gags 1. Hanna Barbera 2. 2 couch Split 3. Runaway Couch

My personal favorite couch gag was the one where a therapist was in the room and Homer jumped on the couch and cried, “Oh Doctor, I’m crazy!”

Awesome as always, Lydia! My favourite will have to be the human version of the couch gag! As for the cartoon itself it would have to be LA-Z Rider!

what's really cray is there was an episode where the painting go damaged and there was a closet full of the paintings of a sail boat.

I read recently that the live action couch gag was produced by Sky as part of their promotion for the show, which is part of the reason why it's not used in reruns. It was filmed in Orpington, Kent (it definitely has a very British look to it)

Weird how the couch gag has become the most talked about part of The Simpsons (Well, in terms of episode content anyway!) The evolution one is my fave.

The one thing thats actually improved over the years in the Simpsons past season 9

I can remember 11 yr old me in the UK wishing for 2006 (when The Simpsons Movie was first advertised) to hurry up and finish so that I could finally get to watch the movie at the cinema. I must have been nowhere near the only one haha. Lol, the evolution couch gag at the end where Marge asks Homer "did you bring the milk?

I always felt that the 500 episode couch gag was a sequel to the 100 episode one. Also, my favorite couch gag is from season 31 where the Simpsons family’s clothes sit on the couch, bu the actual family is shivering from the cold air.

While I am not a fan of the Post-Movie episodes, I really do appreciate the couch gags for how they have evolved and hiring different animators. I never even heard or seen some of these gags until this video and I love the creativity of them all!!

I wonder what happened to the clay figure’s from that one couch gag

The circus couch gag is the first one I remember seeing

Tbh the ice king fits mr burns lol. And I like the original animation of the simpsons it brings back so many memories. I watched the simpsons in 2004 and now I'm 17😢

My favourite couch gag is the Homer evolution one. I don't know why but I think it's cool. The Banksy one is also awesome!

My favorite couch gag wasn't even used. I'm season 7 I think it was, Troy McClure was showcasing original Simpson's things that never happened. When showing some couch gags, there was one where every single character comes out of nowhere and surrounds the family while they're on the ciuch, and everyone else is around them.

Fun Fact: Couch Gags Have A One Word Gap For Gaga (Y’ know, Lady Gaga)

The gag at @14:04 was also used when the Simpsons episode was shown on sky one in U.K.

I LOVE MOST OF THE COUCH GAGS... MY FAVORITE COUCH GAGS R THE TREEHOUSE OF HORROR COUCH GAGS. AND GREAT VIDEO 🤠✌🏻

I ussally just skip the intro when I watch an episode but after watching this I will watch it.

Bart: I can't believe "Stay safe" replaced "goodbye" SVT: "Stay safe!!" Bart and Ralph: "Stay safe!!"

There have been some amazing couchgags over the past few years especially The Treehouse of horror 24 couchgag That was an amazing couchgag from zombie to Alfred Hitchcock to the invisible man to Dracula to the shining to the Tracey ullman show to Godzilla to Alice and wonderland to well horror stories

it went from them sitring peacefully sitting, to them getting killed by rick and morty

I think my favourite couch gag is the Homer evolution one, no idea why there’s loads that have much more interesting animation and ideas but this one just does something for me

I like how in some of the cgs homer gets either hurt, drowned, or he says he's crazy via therapist like why does he get most of the stuff happen to him

why do I get the impression that more creativity and love is invested into the couch gags instead of the episodes?

I love all your videos, and this one in particular is my favorite

i love the rick and morty one or the tiktok one

The LA-Z Rider-couch gag is the greatest ever ^^ The Evolution one is a good second.

Some couch gags are so good and so long, I even forget that is not the actuall episode. The gag ends and I am ready to change the channel, until I remember "Oh yeah, there is a whole ass episode to watch now"

I know this is an older video, but I love that they had a fanartist make a couch gag in one of the newer seasons!

Wooo great video Lydia! My favourite couch gags would have to be the la-Z rider one and the your face parody (mainly because I love the song so much) :)

Yo u always get some good theories, Your content is so great.

Well done, you got all the best ones

I really liked the new intro!

A lot of my favorites were listed in the video, but one was missing. The Minecraft parody intro they did called Simpcraft. Moe showing up as a creeper at the end and blowing up really made it great for me.

Your character design. it just looks like you belong in the world of the simpsons. i am hoping they secretly watch these or something and one day i am like " is that the theory lady on the actual show now?"

I remember when I first subbed to your channel and you had a little over 4000 subs. It’s awesome to see your channel grow in such a short time.

I still wonder how you keep interacting with every comment with 26k+subs you rock ! I love your channel !

Love the content your the best keep it up love the vids so much

Ahhh, The Legendary Couch Gag.

Omg I'm actually quite early to one of your vids let's go

I remember watching all the Simpsons episode in a row, and I now know all the couch gags in the main series. Btw I liked the video I subbed and liked too .

this was just recommended to me, no wonder... it was apparently posted on my 15th birthday, who knew... but I've been subscribed for a month and I'd like to see more of these fantastic videos.

0:26 “Woooooooow.” Me: You can say that again, Homer! Especially on the history of the whole gag.

EVERY VIDEO YOU DO GETS BETTER AND BETTER TO EACH TIME

The LA-Z rider couch gag was my all time favorite

This was amazing!!! My favourite couch gags are all of the Bill Plympton ones including Your Face, and I also loved the Robot Chicken one, the Disney homage one, and (one that you didn't include) A Silly Simpsony. There was a fan made claymation couch gag a RU-vidr called Lee Hardcastle made which was the most gruesome thing I have ever seen. I don't know if you have seen it but it was really gorifying and bloody. I commented him saying that this would make a great Simpsons Treehouse of Horror opening. Anyway, I really enjoyed this! Thanks, Lydia! 😃👍

I love the couch gags! One of my favorite parts of the series!

My fav couch gag would be when the couch have laser like weapons and are taking out their owners one by one by ether shooting them or eating them and homer runs into a couch shop in order to find refuge only to be berried by them

Really like this channel keep up the good work

My favorite is the pixel-art one. It’s got some RPG references and the whole thing was originally animated by a RU-vidr. I don’t know how to describe it without spoiling it, so look up "pixel Simpsons couch gag" and you should be able to find it.

My favorite one is the robot chicken and South Park Mashup couch gag

wow damn never heard of all the simpsons die except bart one. Damn that is dark af, legit moved me that he memorialize them with photos on the couch. Need to check that out.

Once again you’ve made an amazing video! Great job! 👍😊

I am completely obsessed with your videos 🤩

for a treehouse of horror couch gag they should do a squid game bit where the simpsons are doing the honeycomb game and everyone except maggie breaks the honeycomb and gets shot

I used to think that couch gags had something to do with the episode so one time I was like ‘This episode will have Sideshow Bob in.’

I love your vids

Love this

You should’ve mentioned the itchy and scratchy one! That’s my personal favourite

Awesome video I love the simpsons :)

My favorite couch gag is Homer's Evolution (13:09), and the original where nothing happens. Good video, Lydia!😁✌🏾

Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire was the eighth episode. The first was Some Enchanted Evening, but "Homer's Odyssey" was originally gonna be.

Ps,u r the best thank u for making these videos

They should make a Squid Game couch gag.

I might not like modern Simpsons, but I still look forward to the couchgags.

11:24 The way she said "Guillermo del Toro" was so cute, I love it

My favourite couch gag is the one were they sit on a sofa

I love this channel

the flintstones one with Fred Wilma and Pebbles and the one with Fry is one of my favourites

Bart is a trouble maker, but the scene where he places his familys pictures on the couch with him really says a lot. It's easy to write him off as an evil boy who hates his family, especially Homer, but scenes like this really show that he is just a kid...

This is so cool

There was an episode in which a Simpson referred to a couch gag they had done but not yet cleaned up after, implying they know they are on television. The line was something like: “But that’s where we do our couch gags.” I have no idea which episode this is and I cannot remember what it is about. Online searches aren’t helpful and it’s driving me crazy.

12:58 *“Why doesn’t my couch do that”*

My favourite couch gag is also one of the cutest. The Couch wakes up and shaves his 'beard'. He goes and has breakfast with the family of couches before going to the Simpsons house to work and then the Simpsons all sit down on it.

The one where Bart places down the pictures is so sad you can tell how much he loves them

Little surprised there was no mention of the one where everyone is a musical instrument. That one felt like a classic Disney short.

Of the guest animated couch gags, I think Bill Plympton's film noire, and the Don Hertzfeldt one are my favorites. Overall I think Homer Evolution, Homer Universe, and the evergreen classic Monster Couch are my favorite couch gags.

One of my favorite is the Tik Tok were everyone in Springfield is lip singing to it

wow u r awesome also your my favorite youtuber

I really hope they make a couch gag that features you in it cuz your amazing 🤩

Best Simpsons channel ever 😊

Couch gags are my favorite part of the Simpsons it’s just so good and funny 😂

Wow, I've seen the live action intro on RU-vid since the childhood of both me and RU-vid and I've always thought it was just fanmade and not an actual official intro since they never acknowledged it on DVD's and reruns. Haha, I remember when the first HD intro leaked and half of the opinions whas it was too long. Just because of the couch gag that was like half the sequence, but people didn't seem to get that it was just a one time thing. And the Don Hertzfeldt couch gag to me is the scariest moment through the whole show. Beats all of the Treehouse of horror. It's just very unsettling and gives me an anxious mood.

My personal favourite is the Ikea instructions one, though I do like the really abstract ones.

I love the guest animator couch gags the most.I think my favorite would be the Treehouse of horror episode that you mentioned. Also have you ever did a video on what happened to Sideshow Bob's family?

My favourite couch gag would have to be the LA-Z Rider one.

Homer Simpson is Tommy Vercetti... And Ned Flanders is Ken Rosenberg... Oooh!

The couch gags are so creative.🤩🤩🤩

LA-Z Rider has to be my favourite

Keep doing great

They're all so good how do i choose 😭

My favourite next to The Evolution of Homer is the Keshe: Tik Tok opening!
