Was the Couch Gag a Pokemon Go reference?


Was Homer too fat to go in the pokeball?

I don't think so. It didn't act like Pokémon Go.

It seems to be an app that turns people into emojis.

plus they are planning a pokemon go themed episode.

not sure what it was referencing though

A Pokémon Go episode sounds great. We need either an episode and/or a couch gag referencing My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Bart could become a Brony and we could also have Homer watching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic on his phone when he's suppose to be doing his job as safety inspector at the Power Plant. :)

It was just referencing apps on an iPhone. You click them to open them up but the Homer one wouldn't work because it was too fat.

They did do a little edited Pokemon Go clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDCg7f93R6o
