Last night’s Simpsons opening couch gag entered a whole other level of strange.
Amid speculation over a major character death in the Simpsonverse, the first family of Fox’s animation domination block had its season premiere last night. While we didn't see a major death in last night’s episode (sorry, Rabbi Krustofski doesn't count), we did experience one of the oddest couch gags that the show has ever done.

The 1 minute, 45 second journey with the Simpson family to the distant future was weird, rambling and intense, yet also oddly enthralling. The artist behind the piece is Don Hertzfeldt, which should come as no shock to those familiar with his work. (Those unfamiliar should check out his video REJECTED.)
So what do you think? Artistic drivel or work of cartoon genius?
