The Simpsons Couch Gag Goes Minecraft, Complete With Moe Creeper
As Simpsons fans (and even many who aren’t) know, each episode features a different “couch gag.” At the end of the title sequence, the Simpson family runs into the house to sit on the couch, but each time it’s a little bit different.
Last night’s episode introduction was inspired by Minecraft. I don’t know about you, but Moe as a creeper just seems fitting.
Minecraft creator and Mojang founder Markus “notch” Persson commented on the homage on Twitter. “The Simpsons did a Minecraft couch gag,” he wrote. “I’m not sure how I feel about it. I still feel a bit like it’s just this small game I made at home. It’s so weird to have all these things happen.”
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
