After 800 Episodes, The Simpsons Finally Pays Off its Longest-Running Gag

The latest season of The Simpsons concluded with a unique couch gag that cleverly references a running joke from the show’s 800 episodes: Marge accidentally driving toward Homer as she parks in the garage. While this near-miss has been hinted at before, including a spooky version in a Halloween special, this was the most explicit acknowledgment of it yet – confirming that Marge really does almost hit Homer! You can find a clip of the gag, as shared on X by Out of Context Simpsons Couch Gags, below.
