The Simpsons have influenced an entire generation like no other sitcom. According to Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, the show basically reinvented the wheel by creating a medium of its own. Hence, the show is now the longest running TV series in history, airing for the first time before I was born.

And yet, viewers, many of whom can quote the lines from the show by heart, still find little details that make them burst out laughing, year after year after year. So when Twitter user @Manuclearbomb asked people “What’s your favorite visual gag from The Simpsons?” it hit close to home for many Simpsons aficionados who wasted no time in sharing their own personal favorites.

Below we selected some of the most iconic, unusual and interesting visual gags from The Simpsons you either find hilarious or will be surprised you have not noticed before! Scroll down, upvote your favorite ones, and if you’re still hungry for more Simpsons goodness, be sure to check out our previous The Simpsons feature about its most wholesome moments.

How timely. Just this week, there was an NPR headline that asked, "Has Tucker Carlson created the most racist show in the history of cable news?" The interview explains that the answer is pretty much 'yes' according to study that analyzed over 400 episodes of his show. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/12/1098488908/has-tucker-carlson-created-the-most-racist-show-in-the-history-of-cable-news

    It's a fallacy that has been disproven countless times. The UK currently ranks 5th in the world for dental health. The US comparatively, is ranked 9th. Due to the cost of dental care in the US, the UK has has been better since the foundation of the NHS in 1948. EDIT: Just to clarify, 1) I'm not British 2) I'm not bothered by the 'joke', I'm just pointing out a fact. I like to educate on old "Jokes" that are just tired (and yes I'd do the same for you Yanks, Aussies) 3) Some cosmetic work is covered by the NHS if certain requirements are met (Braces are based on a score system called the IOTN scale, feel free to google it).
