As any Simpsons fan can tell you, the opening sequence for each episode includes three distinct moments that change every episode: Bart's sentence on the chalkboard, Lisa's saxophone solo and the "couch gag" at the very end. Sometimes these moments are reused from past episodes, of course.
Well, someone with a lot of time on their hands has spliced together 115 couch gags from The Simpsons. The quality of the video (below) isn't that great, and I'm not sure what possessed them to put their YouTube username right in the middle of the screen, but those two minor annoyances aside, it's a nice little tribute to an element of the series fans love and the writers probably loathe by now. That's my assumption anyway, I'm guessing it's tough to keep coming up with new couch gags (which explains why we don't see brand new ones much anymore).
I've placed the video after the jump. It's just under ten minutes long.
Thanks to my pal Wild Bill for telling me about this.

Those are all german episodes with the channel logo of the german tv station "pro 7" most of the time in the top right hand corner. Sometimes it's ORF1 which is an austrian station (those crazy austrians speak german too you know :-) ) You can hear some voices of the german voice-actors.
The jetpack and the hairdryer intro were doubled.
And I too hate the guy for placing his username directly in the center of the screen.
Oh and Don't ride the bomb :-)
