Homer strangling Bart.

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Homer's brain has created some classic moments and will continue to do so.

[@lifeofafred99]

😊😅😂

[@Jason-hg1pc]

The endless chase by the whole family running after their living room that is driven to approximately the vanishing point of reeali

I never knew that Rebecca doing an impression of Nelson Muntz was something that I needed

[@Mightyblackcats]

[@krisfrederick5001]

Her Mr. Burns was even better

The couch gag never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.

[@tylergoodman3560]

My favorite is Homer saying "D'oh." 🎉

[@Aivottaja]

Mine is Homer strangling Bart.

[@Punchy361]

I love the episode where Homer says d'oh! Best episode ever!

[@rara1800]

#30 Itchy and Scratchy- Herman and catnip? I’ve never heard of that. I guess it was before my time. I always thought that it was a parody of Tom and Jerry, but just with more violence lol

[@mojo3318]

I found out about "Herman and Catnip" in a book and my sibling and I watched an episode on KZbin.

[@rndmpinkiepie64]

Every time homer does his "____, eh?" I can't help but laugh

[@olleselin]

The couch gags are like the best ways the set off an episode!

[@zacharisincennes8026]

Itchy and Scratchy is a parody of Herman and Catnip? I thought it was a parody of Tom and Jerry.

[@armichng]

You’re not alone

[@manboy864]

@zacharisincennes8026 The characters itchy and scratchy are direct parities of Tom and Jerry but the concept of the show and the level of violence is a lot like Herman and catnip

[@stewartlynch1284]

It is a Tom and Jerry parody in some ways.

[@BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! 10:20 I remember they used to have that running gag a lot in the beginning, but not anymore. 🤣

[@pooky-bellegaming4089]

Regarding No. 23… My favorite “Ralphism” is “I’m going to a accident!” from the episode “Adventures in Baby Getting”.

[@ScaerieTale]

Homer: "Awww, $20! I wanted a peanut!" Brain: "$20 can buy many peanuts." God, I love classic Simpsons XD

[@michaelvargas5144]

My Favorites: D'oh! WHY YOU LITTLE...! The Couch, Chalkboard And Billboard Gags Bart's Prank Calls Woo-hoo Simpson Eh? Excellent Homer's Mmm (To Any Type Of Food And Drink) Talking Brain Haw-Haw

[@mojo3318]

I thought Talking Brain was Homer thinking to himself.

Carl and Lenny have masters degrees in nuclear physics, and Carl is known to have an astonishing IQ of 214. They are the safety people plus mr. Burns ,Homer is just a mascot

[@HolyCross9]

Personally, my favorite gag from this show is whenever Homer strangles Bart while shouting, "WHY YOU LITTLE...!"

[@Rumpel-r4d]

18:57 can't stop giggling over Fox Mulder's badge and the nude photo in it !

[@KegOfMeat]

That second “Oww.” From Scratchy makes me laugh for no reason.

The best part of the Moe's Tavern prank call gag is the fact that most would only work if repeated to the tavern in a specific way, yet Moe always asks it that way. Like the example they showed here, where he looked forlorn when saying "Why can't I find Amanda Huginkis?"

[@JamesDavy2009]

"Maybe your standards are too high?" -Barney Gumble

[@mojo3318]

I chuckled at that part in the video.

[@Jason-hg1pc]

Or when he inquires: "Is there an Al K. Hauleck in here? Where can I find an Al K. Hauleck? C'mon somebody here in this dive has gotta know where there's a will, there's an Al K Hauleck, c'mon now, say it w/me: my name is whatever, and/or I'm N. "Al" K. Hauleck...goddamn these perpetual fraternities except the few that cannot make change for the liquid Courage that I find in a can, and if this don't gets some comeuppance."

[@AlmondXIII]

The chalkboard “We’ll miss you Mrs K” 😢

[@trinaq]

There's so many to choose from, though my brother and I always cracked up at the "Moe's Tavern" gags, and even replicated some ourselves in real life. It was hilarious how Moe never seemed to catch on. 😅

[@Omar-wq9dz]

I always liked Hugh Jass, because it was the fist time Bart couldn’t prank Moe

[@NebularImpact95]

Woo-hoo! Can't wait to revisit this list again 50 more times in the near future!!! 😂

[@mre9593]

I had a Simson's experience. I was buying a car, and the salesman reminded me of "Gil Gunderson"! the car he was trying to sell was so bad the tires made a flumping noise because it wasn't driven for a long time. They forgot the "Hot dog gag"!! where (usually) Marge tells Homer "there is no hot dog vender here" then we hear "Hot dogs! Get your Hot dogs!"

[@nickroest236]

13:21 clearly they forgot about officer barbrady!

[@ricochet0928]

Surprised Sideshow Bob's turbulent relationship with rakes wasn't mentioned

[@brandongill2577]

Excluding Treehouse of Horrors, the Gracie Films logo tends to have a decent soundbite in half the episodes so far.

[@andrewyoung3299]

The Treehouse of Horror ones are genius! Bat Groening is my favourite horror pun

[@Zack_san]

My favorite running gags is when Homer says, "D'oh!" when he messes up every time or when he's unhappy, and when he says, "Whoo-hoo!" when he's happy, and didn't mess up.

[@alexdamonwrites]

One of my favourite running gags in The Simpsons that wasn't featured is Homer unashamedly "borrowing" everything from Flanders, where most of his tools have stickers that say "Property of Ned Flanders" on them. The funniest one is when he takes Ned's air conditioner.

[@JamesDavy2009]

He was even called out for taking Ned's weather vane.

[@Animeguy300]

[@phantomrequim]

Why, You Little is my favorite running gag, LOL!

[@TheMrtgamer]

This list is missing something... The fact that Springfield is constantly being changed, where nothing has a permanent location outside of the Simpsons residence, which was actually ironically mentioned in the EA Games mobile game "The Simpsons: Tapped Out" by Homer when you're rebuilding Springfield

[@JamesDavy2009]

Even the Simpsons residence had an inconsistent address during the Conan O'Brien era. They settled for 742 Evergreen Tce. but Bart stated the address as 1094 Evergreen Tce. at one point.

[@projectdrunkguy4112]

According to that last couch gag, it seems to be that they live in Springfield Wisconsin.

[@thevideogamehit9016]

"Bake em away toys" is freaking hilarious

[@johnseelinger9803]

I love the Itchy & Scratchy show in "The Simpsons." I find Itchy & Scratchy very funny. I gave Hans Moleman the nickname "Bad Luck" because he keeps facing bad luck.

[@anthonyperno1348]

Billboard Gag: neon sign for the divorce lawyer firm the "Happy Widow" - wife dancing on husband's grave.

[@491n4he5]

The random references to Albany, NY. Matt Groening is from Oregon and there is an Albany, Oregon but Skinner specifically says he's from Albany, NY amidst the "steamed hams" gag. Also, in Homer to thr Max, the Albany, NY power plant has a meltdown. Also, Abe Simpson was voted handsomest boy in Albany, NY. Finally, Lisa is supposed to take a class trip to Albany. It's so random

[@Minidollcollector]

These running gags are all excellent

[@lenn7272]

They had an episode where Moe reveals he has known the prank calls are from Bart. Moe has a soft spot for him and plays along.

It's scary how people were killed when the building got blown up in one the gags! I saw that part as a kid, but don't remember. I kind of looked somewhere else in the video at the gross and weird parts like Homer's Imagination and Barney in a bikini👙. I found out about "Herman and Catnip" in a book and my sibling and I watched an episode on KZbin. I snorted when Abe Simpson kept saying "dickity". I also chuckled at some of the prank calls in the video.

First I ever heard of Rick & Morty is when they guest starred in a couch gag. Went on so long it seemed significant, and I never saw these two before. Looking it up online I saw comments of "Rick & Morty on Simpsons, FINALLY!". ??? Later when I looked deeper I found out Rick & Morty premiered roughly WHEN that episode aired, so WTF was up with "finally"???? Now that I've seen every episode of 7 seasons I REALLY should watch that opening again now that I can understand it, :) I love THIS: IMDb lists when people aren't listed with their official name, their IMDb profile name. Often it's something stupid like an extra capital, a missing dash, a woman's married name, or a non-English name having or missing an accent... But EVERY one of the Treehouse Of Horrors names is in there. Some of the big names, like Matt Groening, if you look at THEIR IMDb page, their listing is like "as Bat Groening/Batty Groaner/(etc)", LONG lists of 30+ years of gag names. :) (I believe there's one Thanksgiving episode which also got the Treehouse Of Horror treatment, and one year there were two I think, one week of an IT parody and one "normal" Treehouse).
