Special circumstances?[edit]

Okay, I think that should only really be one special circumstance, the Guillermo del Toro couch gag. That was a whole opening sequence packed with characters and references so it should get its own article. Other than that, all other couch gags can go into the Gags tabs. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 08:12, November 27, 2013 (EST)

List of those with special circumstances[edit]

This is for openign sequence/couch gags and those with a different set of animators who don't normally work for The Simpsons and those that appear three times or more.
