- "There are bunch of these scattered in each level, little surprises are hidden inside each one, be sure to come back again to see if there is something you've missed."
- ―Bart Simpson
Gags are a series of objects that are scattered all over each of the seven levels of the game. In each level there are a number for the player to find.
The gags can be identified by the fact that they are glowing with a blue light (either in a single expanding effect or a flickering glow). To trigger the gag, the player needs to walk up to the gag and press the action key on PC, Triangle on PS2 or Y on Xbox / GameCube. A short animation will be played when activated which will be a reference to an episode of the Simpsons. Nearly all gags rewards the player with Coins.
The player has to find all the gags in a level in order to achieve a 100% on the Level progress screen for that level. There are a total of 84 gags in the game spread over 7 levels respectively.

Trivia
- There are several unused gags in the game, such as a Merry Go Round in Levels 1 and 4, crows at the Tomacco Farm in Level 1, a doll that blows up in the Android's Dungeon (glitched/invisible) in Level 3, bats instead of the crows in Level 7 and some others that are complete mysteries such as a gag called "KM_gag_nelson_millhouse_beating2" (probably a slight changed "KM_gag_nelson_millhouse_beating1") and "moleman in cadillac", that if somehow activated causes strange side effects, but the gag itself is never seen.
- Though as the gag "moleman in cadillac" causes strange side effects to happen in the actual game, its settings were revealed very later on, showing that the gag was meant for Level 3, the gag would've functioned where Hans Moleman was shown stuck in his pink cadillac, even though it is nearly impossible for the gag to appear in the final game, the gag is only present in the scrapbook image for Level 3.
- It's possible to activate secret gags by changing some stuff at the "level" folder, but this may corrupt a player's game.
- If somehow the player activates exclusive Level 4 Gags in Levels 1 and 7 (Gags are Homer eating cheese and Ned bothering Homer), two Homers will be in the Level, in the kitchen and as the player.
- In the English, French and German versions of the game, the TV inside the Simpsons' house plays Kent Brockman's news broadcasts, but in the Spanish version, the TV plays Bumblebee Man's program instead.
- Kent Brockman's news broadcasts were taken from the 2002 game The Simpsons Skateboarding, specifically Brockman's introduction of the Downtown Springfield level.
