Homer Wins the Internet
If The Simpsons doesn't want to do a whole show anymore, a weekly opening credits sequence with different jokes embedded would still be fine by us...
Grandpa Remix
The Simpsons gave a perfect response to the Internet.
Then the Internet gave a perfect response to The Simpsons' perfect response.
Don't Come For Them
This guy thought he knew better about what that Simpsons opening credits joke was all about than the makers of the show.
As the Internet quickly showed him, he was dead wrong about it, and for it.
Best In Years
This little in Joke has even gotten the attention of Simpsons fans who haven't appreciate the show's humor for a long time.
The Opposite Effect
For other fans, moments like this just make them want to go back to the good old days of the show.
More Meta Than Ever
The Simpsons is, by now, such a big cultural staple for its skewed mirror of our society and changing times that it's impossible for it not to be meta in its self-awareness.
Mind Blown
Some people can't handle the level of meta that The Simpsons has reached in our culture.
Eventually, we may find out that we're all just an episode of the show.
GIFception
How long before someone adds those Inception horns to that Homer .gif?
Time Keeps On Slipping...
In the end, for people who saw this .gif moment when it first aired, this new meta reference is just further conformation that we're getting old.
The Simpsons is still airing Sunday nights at 8/7c on Fox.
