10 Simpsons Theories That Make Too Much Sense To Ignore

For over 30 years, The Simpsons has been one of the biggest cultural icons on TV. The show enjoyed its best years between seasons two and eight, and though its quality has substantially dipped in its later years, it has managed to retain a loyal army of fans, and its status as a legendary TV show.

With over 600 episodes to its name, a feature length movie, countless comic books, and a handful of video games, there is more Simpsons content that just about any other TV show in history, yet fans still believe there is more to it.

The internet has seen many Simpsons viewers read between the lines and piece together clues often dropped years apart, resulting in some wonderful theories about aspects of the show that may exist, but have never been confirmed.

Some of these theories are completely wild and can't be taken too seriously, but some make so much sense, and are so well thought out, that it becomes almost impossible not to believe them. From Homer's financial situation to how the show will end, these theories answer questions we didn't even know we had, as well as some that have plagued viewers for years.

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?
