While it is tough for an animated show to improvise anything, The Simpsons somehow managed this with one of the show’s most iconic episodes. In South Park season 6, episode 7, “Simpsons Already Did It,” the show sardonically claimed the earlier animated comedy series had already explored every conceivable gag, storyline, and character beat under the sun. Since The Simpsons is both the longest-running US scripted prime-time TV series and the longest-running animated comedy of all time, it is easy to see where South Park’s creators were coming from.
