10 Simpsons Theories That Make Too Much Sense To Ignore

10. Homer Is In A Coma

This is one of the most popular theories surrounding The Simpsons, and it goes a long way to explaining how Homer and the family are able to get involved in so many crazy and outlandish adventures.

Becoming an astronaut, helping Mel Gibson produce a film, and climbing the Murderhorn are things that are so unrealistic that the only explanation for them is that they didn't really happen. Instead, everything we see from mid-way through season four is all a figment of Homer's imagination, fabricated while lying in a coma.

In 'So It's Come To This... A Simpsons Clip Show', Homer is hospitalised by Bart's exploding beer can, and the theory goes that he never actually woke up. Instead, we have simply been watching his thoughts while inside the coma ever since.

This would also explain why the family haven't aged in 30 years, and is also backed up by 'Homer the Heretic', an episode released roughly six months prior to Homer's accident, in which the character is told by God himself that he has six months to live. This lines up too well to be a coincidence, right?
