The Simpsons: 10 More Moments More Important Than You Realised
2. Homer In A Coma
This one is purely speculative, but the theory really does hold water.
In an episode titled So It's Come To This: A Simpsons Clip Show, Bart decides to prank his old man by seriously shaking up a can of beer. However, Bart did such a good job that, when Homer opened the can, it exploded with the force of a neutron bomb.
This left Homer in a vegetative state for seven weeks and caused him to lose 5% of his brain. But did the coma do even more damage to our beloved patriarch?
A popular fan theory is that Homer never woke up and that every episode after this one takes place in his head. Before you call us crazy, there is some serious evidence to back this up.
Not only would this explain why the plots of the show get more outlandish over the years, but in the episode Homer the Heretic, God tells Homer that he will die in six months.
The clip show aired almost exactly six months after Homer the Heretic.
We're calling our shot now that this will be the big reveal in the final ever episode of The Simpsons.
You just watch.
