Banksy Meets The Simpsons

In this clip, notorious U.K. grafitti artist Banksy makes an appearance in the hugely popular animated TV series, The Simpsons. For the opening title sequence for the third episode of the twenty-second (wow!) season, Banksy sprays his mark all over Springfield and it all ends with the couch gag that shows the audience what goes on behind-the-scenes to create and market The Simpsons.

It’s a parody of Noah Kalina’s famous video where he took daily images of himself for a period of 6 years. The original music is by Carly Commando and entitled “Everyday”.

See Homer’s transformation below.

And see Kalina’s video after the jump.
