How This Became The DARKEST Simpsons Intro Ever

In this episode of The Simpsons Theory, I examine perhaps the darkest Simpsons intro opening every storyboarded by graffiti artist, Banksy.

Al Jean, Simpsons showrunner and producer, reached out to Banksy to storyboard a couch-gag for the show, and the result was 1 minute and 43 seconds of pure introspective horror - which was greenlit by series creator, Matt Groening. It was a project that was as controversial off-screen as it was on-screen. There were censor issues, dramatic changes and staff-protests.

So let's get into it.
