Meow Wolf Creates Trippy Couch Gag for 'The Simpsons'
Santa Fe-based art collective Meow Wolf has produced a couch gag for The Simpsons, debuting on Disney+ during the double-episode "Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition." The gag features live-action elements and includes a tribute to late co-founder Matt King. Showrunner Matt Selman expressed admiration for Meow Wolf's installations in Las Vegas, Santa Fe, and Denver. The sequence begins with Marge at a supermarket and ends with multiple Ottos building the Simpsons' living room in Meow Wolf's signature style. Co-founder Emily Montoya emphasized the collaborative, improvisational approach. This marks one of the few couch gags with live-action footage.
