Every couch gag from season 5 of The Simpsons

The Simpsons fifth season was another great collection of episodes and the couch gags that go with them are just as interesting.

Homer’s Barbershop Quartet – An off-screen director does three takes of the opening couch gag. Take one involves the Simpsons shattering like glass before Santa’s Little Helper stares at the mess, take two features them running in and mashing together in a multicolored blob, and on take three they all run into each other and explode on impact, with Maggie’s pacifier landing on the crater that forms as a result.

Cape Feare – Repeat of the couch gag from Lisa’s First Word that involves an elaborate show business opening number.

Homer Goes to College – The Simpsons sit on the couch only to be stepped on by a massive foot.

Marge on the Lam – The family runs in and crashes through the wall, leaving cutout versions of themselves in the process.
