One of many reasons that you do not watch The Simpsons is that, besides the fact that it now no longer has the voice of Harry Shearer, its best moments are often the couch gags--quick clips that you can watch online without requiring the context of the rest of an episode. Like the late night shows you also talk a lot about but likely do not watch, the quality comes in brief moments, like the couch gag from this Sunday's season finale. In the bit, Rick and Morty, the title characters of Rick and Morty, a hilarious show that you definitely should watch, accidentally kill the Simpsons and try to remedy their mistake. As is par for the course with Rick and Morty, it is funny, weird, meta, and somehow affecting all at once. Was there ever an animated show like that before? I can't remember.
