Avengers: Endgame - Watch Thanos Cameo In New Simpsons Couch Gag

Guess which member of the family wasn't snapped away by the Infinity Gauntlet...

Thanos might have retired to his farm at the end of Avengers: Infinity War and put his armour to use as a scarecrow, but he's returned to active duty for a cameo on the new season of The Simpsons.

The occasionally-too-maligned show is now into its 30th season despite some concerns that the impending merger that sees Disney acquire Fox's TV and film properties would spell the end for the long-running show. And with the well for ideas for couch gags well and truly mined, it's inevitable that pop culture reference points from the past year would pop up, including the Mad Titan appearing, using one of Maggie's pacifier as an Infinity Stone and clicking The Simpsons clan away to dust.

Well, all apart from Maggie, who seemingly helped orchestrate her family's deaths, considering how pleased she seems with it all at the end.

The Simpsons has faced mounting criticism at a perceived drop in quality in recent years (more pointedly even than has been the case for the better part of this decade), with viewers now down to 4 million per episode (10 years ago, it was double that; 20 years ago, it was almost quadruple). But it still has its fans and they'll no doubt get a kick out of this sort of thing.
