There have been countless couch gags over the years that make light of current events or new technology, so it was only a matter of time before Matt Groening and co. would come up with something like The Simpsons iPhone couch spoof.
The animators always seem to do spoofs tastefully, neither doing a shameless product plug or directly insulting a company; they always seem to find a middle ground that allows them to stay relevant and fresh. The Simpsons iPhone couch spoof is an example of how a classic show still manages to stay sharp on current trends without losing its comedic integrity.
