0:58 holy shit Bart is fast sitting down

[ElyOtto]

although set in america, something about this is so unignorably british

[lukethomas]

The actor for Marge was particularly perfect casting.

[BenM.Davies]

I love how it's so clearly filmed in the UK as well, genuinely hilarious.

[gabespiro]

The actress playing Lisa was putting her soul into the orchestra scene

[kathyhackman]

Anyone else realize the baby (Maggie) randomly appears on the couch?!

Six years and no one ever told me about this sublime slice of genius? How is that even possible?

This live-action remake of the regular animated opening sequence of The Simpsons was aired at the beginning of the episode “Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife” (the 15th episode of the 17th season, aired in the United States on March 26, 2006). The opening sequence itself, originally created by British Sky Broadcasting, was taken from a Sky One promo of the show in UK. English comedian Ricky Gervais contributed to the writing of the episode and guest starred in it as Charles.

I just realized. Imagine causally existing and suddenly someone is just "Hey, we wanna cast you as a live action Homer Simpson you're perfect"

0:22 Mr burns and smithers are surprisingly accurate

[UPWonders]

The fact that this includes a Lada makes it even better for me as a big fan of Soviet era cars

[MsTheGreatD]

I love the fact that homer is driving a Lada XD

[TheConnonedrum]

I could only imagine how many hours it took to put this together.

[cdnrod]

six years on the Internet, and the first time I’ve seen this! Hilarious I love it!!!

[avocadork]

I’m a huge Simpsons fan. This is fantastic!!! Kudos to everyone involved! Especially the kid who rode the skateboard off the car!!😎

[charleyedwards]

Never thought I’d want to see a live action version of the Simpson’s but I’d go see it now

[DANNYonPC]

They should turn this into some kind of animated series or something

[cnashford]

Bart was so fast at 0:58 and Maggie seemed to appear out of thin air! *Great job to whoever created this!*

[MrAlexOrex]

The british Homer Simpson driving a russian car (LADA 2105 if I'm right) is so hearthwarming) I used to drive the same model of my grandpa.

[otpzpkl]

Absolutely hilarious. It was so similar to the actual beginning I was like whoa.
