outside world, Marge is looking for Homer. Homer hears her calling for him and tells ALF that he should go. Everyone tells Homer that he can't go as he's part of the couch now, and a lot of lost snacks also try and stop Homer from leaving. Marge finds the thread that Homer found and starts to pull it out. Homer jumps on a spring and jumps up to grab the thread as Marge pulls it out all the way. When Homer comes back into the outside world, he's still made of thread. Snowball II then attacks him. Parodies within the show The opening sequence has been parodied within seven episodes of The Simpsons: A short parody as The Thompsons in the episode "Cape Feare", when the Simpsons go into a witness protection program to evade Sideshow Bob.
