‘The Simpsons Are Making a VR Couch Gag for 600th Episode

The beginning of this year’s Simpsons Treehouse of Horror, which will be the 600th episode of the show, will be kicked off by a couch gag entitled “Planet of the Couches”. It’ll be available to watch in Google Cardboard and in 360 in Google Spotlight Stories (just in case you don’t want to wear a VR headset).

That episode will air on Sunday, October 16th.

It’ll probably feel like that one time when Homer found his way into our dimension as a cartoon wandering around our reality.

Recent examples of this came this week as an Australian duo of Paul Robertson and Ivan Dixon created a fantastic pixel art “couch gag” that will be used on tonight’s episode. The team at The Simpsons even had a fun response to their submission.

Much more unbelievable than that, over two thousands Bolivians gathered in the streets to protest a time slot change of The Simpsons (via The AV Club).

The iconic “Couch Gag” in the opening of The Simpsons has become its own show of sorts with hundreds of variations and plenty of series crossovers including one with Game of Thrones, another one with Robot Chicken, one by Hayao Miyazaki, and one by Don Hertzfeldt.

Now, the best new animated series to hit TV, Rick & Morty, is getting their own Simpsons couch gag in an upcoming episode according to a NYCC announcement.

That only makes our mind wander as to what Rick Sanchez would do with the power plant, taking on Mr. Burns, etc. Surely, a portal to another dimension will be involved.
