Hearing or watching the Adventure Time opening is one of those things that’ll pretty much always fill me with happiness without fail.
The list of memorable “Simpsons” couch gags includes Disney movies, the Game of Life, Letterman and “Breaking Bad”. Who else could he be?

An homage to Adventure Time, the 45-second gag turns the residents of Springfield into characters from the hit Cartoon Network series. Naturally, this opening has nothing to do with the rest of the episode, which finds comedian Amy Schumer taking over the role of Mr. Burns’ mom as his backstory is expanded (or alternately, completely ignored for the sake of this episode) to explain what turned him into such a bitter and terrible man.
