Homer using a gif of Homer is pure Simpsonsception – the only 9 reactions you need to read
Most of us have had cause to use the gif of Homer Simpson backing slowly into a hedge – it’s great for an embarrassing moment or to take down a public figure who’s done something they’d prefer us all to forget. When the Simpsons’ official Twitter account shared a clip of an episode in which Homer himself used it, it blew everyone’s minds.
This is the tweet that changed our perception of the Simpsonsverse.

And one Twitter user gave it a very backhanded compliment.
First time I laughed hard at this show in years.
