Going into last night’s Simpsons, all the buzz was about who was going to die, but coming out of it, everyone is talking about the totally and completely insane couch gag. The show has been experimenting with turning the gag over to noteworthy animators more and more recently, and this might be the best one yet. It is at minimum the strangest.
