These various sites say it was banned and that it "didn't make the cut" so it was probably officially pitched:

http://www.sickchirpse.com/gory-bann...ion-couch-gag/

http://usapost.org/video/this-banned...you-disturbing

It might have been for this years Halloween special, which is why it was just posted to youtube this December.

None of these three sites are credible, the second one never mentions anything about the video being pitched to Fox, and I have yet to see any proof that these (or any other) websites should've provided. The creator, Lee Hardcastle, has said nothing about ever pitching this to Fox (you would think that a decent story would actually get some sort of interview with the guy). It's most likely some sort of misunderstanding and people took it too far.

That's obviously fan made and was never commissioned by Simpsons producers or Fox.

Shocking ****.

But do you think it's no different than things like Heavy Metal, Fritz the Cat, South Park, Ninja Scroll or Urotsukidoji?

Some of Simpsons more recent Halloween specials have gotten just as violent as this couch gag. We've seen Bart and Homer stabbed/sliced open plenty of times now in the Halloween eps.

The Treehouse of Horror violence is more lighthearted and done in comedic terms. This is just brutally violent for the sake of it.

The actual movie You're Next is not even this violent, which I have seen. It's an odd choice to make a couch gag out of. It's not like it was a really big movie. I don't believe the creators or Fox considered this ever.

What do you think of the violence in Ninja Scroll or Fist of the North Star?

I've never seen those. Are they anime? I don't really watch them.

Yes they are. Anything with an overly wordy or bizarre english title is usually an anime.

Ninja Scroll and Fist are awesome ones with graphic gory violence done right. At least no kids get killed in those unlike the couch gag in this short.

Ninja Scroll is fantastic. Uber violent, but awesome.
