'''Apu Nahasapeemapetilon''', Ph.D., (born January 9)<ref name="passport"/> formerly '''Slime Q Slimedog''',<ref>"[[The Sweetest Apu]]"</ref> is the proprietor of the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], the local convenience store and good friends with [[Homer Simpson]].

== History ==
[[File:Apu Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
[[File:The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons.png|left|thumb|Apu's wedding with [[Manjula]]]]
During the 1960s, while still living in [[India]], Apu spent some time as a student of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in which capacity he became a friend of {{Ch|Paul McCartney}} and {{Ch|Linda McCartney}}. Apu's friendship with the McCartneys caused him to be referred to by some (mainly himself) as "The Fifth [[The Beatles|Beatle]]". They visited Apu in [[Springfield]] around the time he became naturalized. He says that he graduated from [[Calcutta]] Technical University, where he was the top of his class of 7 million and got a scholarship in the [[United States]].<ref name="Much Apu">"[[Much Apu About Nothing]]"</ref> In the United States, he got a doctorate in computer science by designing the world's first tic-tac-toe program that only the top human players could beat (which [[Bart Simpson]] promptly broke). He then took a job at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] to pay back his student loans.

During the early 1980s, Apu was a member of the barbershop quartet called [[The Be Sharps]], which also consisted of [[Homer Simpson]], [[Barney Gumble]], and [[Seymour Skinner]].<ref>"[[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]"</ref> Upon the advice of {{ap|Nigel|Homer's Barbershop Quartet}}, the band's manager, Apu took the stage name "''Apu du Beaumarche''" (a pun, as "du beau marché" means "of the beautiful market" in French) and denied he was actually Hindu.

Prior to his marriage to Manjula, Apu slept with [[Princess Kashmir]]<ref>"[[Lisa's Pony]]"</ref> and [[Selma Bouvier]]<ref>"[[Wedding for Disaster]]"</ref> and was bought at a bachelor auction by [[Luann Van Houten]], [[Miss Hoover]], Selma, [[Ruth Powers]] and [[Lois Pennycandy]], he dated all five at the same time.<ref name="Two Mrs"/> Apu and Manjula were wed through an arranged marriage. Despite trying to wriggle out of the arrangement at first, Apu was won over soon after meeting Manjula and the two actually did fall in love. Later, Manjula gave birth to the amazing number of eight children after receiving a larger-than-recommended dose of fertility drugs.<ref>"[[Eight Misbehavin']]"</ref> Apu and Manjula have a mostly happy marriage, despite understandable marital problems caused by Apu's workaholic nature (he seems to be at his post around the clock), the strain of caring for eight children, and two instances of infidelity by Apu.

He and his family are devotees of the Hindu gods Shiva, Ganesha, and Vishnu. At Apu's wedding, Homer, in a misguided attempt to play on the bride and groom's families' fear of the gods, arrived dressed as the Hindu god Ganesh. The impersonation was seen through by one of Apu's relatives and failed miserably. Before his marriage, Apu became known as the leading ladies' man in Springfield, because he holds a Ph.D. and runs his own business. He also admitted, "I'm not much of a talker, but I love to listen. I also like to design and build furniture and then to have a discussion about where it could be placed in a room", which made the single women of Springfield go crazy for him. Despite his hectic marriage and home life however, his first love is still to work in the Kwik-E-Mart, sometimes taking shifts long enough to send him into sleep deprived hallucinations in which he thinks he is "...a humming bird of some kind." Also after Apu had an affair with {{ap|Annette|The Sweetest Apu}}, the squishy lady, [[Manjula]] made him legally change his name to Slime Q Slimedog. He is revealed to have slept with [[Selma Bouvier]].

=== Heritage ===
In addition to being Brahmins, Apu and Manjula appear to be Tamil because of their last names and especially dark complexions and Apu means loving child in Tamil; however, Apu has also been shown to be Bengali.<ref>"[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]"</ref> However, Manjula speaks Hindi (interpreted as "baby talk" by Marge), to Maggie, as opposed to Tamil or Bengali, further complicating the matter. Still, Apu's parents very strongly appear to be Tamil.<ref name="Much Apu"/><ref name="Two Mrs">"[[The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons]]"</ref> Apu has a cousin named [[Kavi]], who lives in Bangalore, which is part of Karnataka, South India; this would suggest that they are indeed Tamil of Bangalore residence.<ref name="Kiss Kiss">"[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore]]"</ref>

=== Immigrant status ===
Apu is a naturalized U.S. citizen and holds a Ph.D. in computer science. He graduated first in his class of seven million at the Calcutta Institute of Technology, going on to earn his doctorate at the [[Springfield Heights Institute of Technology]]. His doctoral dissertation was the world's first computer program to play perfect tic-tac-toe ([[Bart Simpson]] ruined it years later by plucking a random punch card out of the box along with several others). Apu began working at the Kwik-E-Mart during his college years to help pay off his student loans.

[[Sanjay]], Apu's brother, helps him run the Kwik-E-Mart. Sanjay's daughter (and Apu's niece) is [[Pahasatira]]. Sanjay's son is [[Jamshed]]. They all share the Nahasapeemapetilon surname. Apu has another younger brother.<ref name="Two Mrs"/> When Apu's and Manjula's parents were first arranging their marriage, Apu was shown as the oldest of three on a chart. Apu also has a cousin living in India named [[Kavi]], who helped Homer while he was in India. He works for many American companies taking service calls and can speak with American, Western, and [[Jamaica]]n accents.<ref name="Kiss Kiss"/>

=== Video games ===
Apu is the only non-Simpson family playable character in the video game ''[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]'', and his standard vehicle is a yellow version of his [[Pontiac Firebird]] called "[[Longhorn]]" (in the original TV series his car is shown red<ref>"[[Two Bad Neighbors]]"</ref>). He is in the fifth level which is downtown [[Springfield]] at night. He appears walking around [[Springfield]] in ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'' but is a non-playable character. He is also a driver and passenger in ''[[The Simpsons Road Rage]]''.

=== ''Futurama'' ===
[[File:Apu Nahasapeemapetilon's head.png|thumb|Apu's ''[[Futurama]]'' appearance]]
Although he did not appear fully in person in ''The Simpson'''s sister show, ''[[Futurama]]'', his head could be seen in the head museum in "Space Pilot 3000" and "Bender's Big Score".

== Behind the Laughter ==
=== Creation ===
Apu was voiced by [[Hank Azaria]]. In the script, Apu had the generic name "Clerk". [[Mike Reiss]] inserted the stage direction "the clerk is not Indian" under his line. When they got to the cast reading of the script, Hank Azaria read the line in an Indian accent and got a huge laugh. Hank Azaria later revealed that this was [[Sam Simon]]'s idea to read the line in an Indian accent. The name "Apu" came from [[Matt Groening]], who gave him that name to honor ''{{W|The Apu Trilogy}}'' by {{W|Satyajit Ray}}. His surname, "Nahasapeemapetilon", is the full name of a high school classmate of writer [[Jeff Martin]].<ref name="Confidential">''[[Springfield Confidential]]'' Chapter 6</ref>

=== ''The Problem with Apu'' ===
In 2017, comedian {{W|Hari Kondabolu}} released a documentary titled ''{{W|The Problem with Apu}}'', which explored negative stereotypes spread by Apu and ''The Simpsons''. For many years, Apu was one of the only Indian representatives on television. Kondabolu stated that kids would mimic Apu's accent and repeat his catchphrases to mock him. The documentary was made to highlight these issues. Many of the problems that Kondabolu has with Apu come from Apu being a stereotypical Indian immigrant, working hard in a convenience store, having eight kids and an arranged marriage. Kondabolu also took offense from Hank Azaria voicing Apu, saying it is like "a white guy doing an impression of a white guy making fun of my father". Kondabolu also claims that Apu hasn't grown as a character and he's very one dimensional.

Apu is a stereotype of Indian immigrants from the 1960s and '70s. Back then, Indian immigrants had to "take whatever roles were open because there were no options". Now, there are starting to be more options in film and television with several prominent celebrities of South Asian descent entering film and television so Apu isn't the only representative of the culture on television.<ref>[http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20171027-the-simpsons-apu-a-stereotype-hiding-in-plain-sight BBC Culture - "The Simpsons' Apu - A Stereotype Hiding in Plain Sight"]</ref>

Actor [[Utkarsh Ambudkar]] voiced [[Jay Nahasapeemapetilon]], Apu's nephew, in the [[season 27]] episode "[[Much Apu About Something]]". In the episode, Jay points out how much of a stereotype his uncle is, showing that the producers of the show realize this. In the [[season 29]] episode "[[No Good Read Goes Unpunished]]", the show addresses the documentary, with Lisa saying "Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. What can you do?", before the camera pans to a photo of Apu.

In [[Mike Reiss]]' book ''[[Springfield Confidential]]'', Reiss calls ''The Problem with Apu'' "a nasty little documentary" and states that it has been a problem for them, with Hank Azaria reluctant to play Apu anymore. Reiss then states that most characters on the show are played by actors that are similar to the characters, saying "white guys play black men, straights play gays, and grown women play little boys". Reiss then goes on to state that lots of the characters are unflattering stereotypes, citing [[Groundskeeper Willie]] as an example of a cliché "whiskey-swilling, haggis-eating, bagpipe-playing Scotsman - played by an Italian actor.", however, Scottish people love him. Reiss then adds that he'd hate to lose a beloved character from the show but time may have run out for Apu, although it's not his call to make.<ref name="Confidential"/>

In April 2018, producer {{W|Adi Shankar}} started a script contest which he hoped would be made into an episode of ''The Simpsons ''to subvert Apu's tropes and write him out in a clever way or evolve him as a character.<ref>[https://www.indiewire.com/2018/04/simpsons-apu-controversy-adi-shankar-spec-script-contest-1201958632/ IndieWire - "Producer Adi Shankar Wants to Fix 'The Simpsons' Apu Problem, Launches Spec Script Contest to Crowdsource a Cure"]</ref> In late October 2018, Shankar told IndieWire that he had heard from multiple sources that Apu was being removed from the show.<ref>[https://www.indiewire.com/2018/10/simpsons-drop-apu-character-adi-shankar-1202015372/ IndieWire - "'The Simpsons' Is Eliminating Apu, But Producer Adi Shankar Found the Perfect Script to Solve the Apu Problem"]</ref> After this news broke, executive producer and showrunner for ''The Simpsons'', [[Al Jean]], stated on Twitter that Shankar is not a producer on the show nor does he speak for the show.<ref name="AlJeanTwitter">Al Jean's Twitter (account closed)</ref>

On November 1, 2018, Al Jean shared a link to an article by {{W|The Guardian}} by Indian-American writer {{W|Bhaskar Sunkara}}.<ref name="AlJeanTwitter"/> The article spoke about the positive aspects of Apu and his influence on people.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/01/apu-simpsons-hero The Guardian - "Don't get rid of Apu. He's a hero to many of us"]</ref> In the replies to the tweet, Al Jean confirmed that Apu isn't going anywhere.<ref name="AlJeanTwitter"/> Despite this, in 2020, Hank Azaria stated that while Apu will remain on the show, he will no longer provide the voice for the character.

== Behind the Laughter ==
=== Voice actress ===
After Grau's death in 1995, Lunchlady Dora was retired out of respect for over 10 years. Due to the delay between recording some episodes and the time they actually air, Grau's voice was included in episodes airing as late as 1997 such as "[[Lisa's Sax]]". Lunchlady Dora then became a silent background character and was mostly been seen in crowds and groups of other faculty members. In the 18th season, she returned as a speaking character beginning with "[[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]", where she is voiced by [[Tress MacNeille]]. When she returned, the character was renamed to Lunchlady '''Dora''' to respect Doris Grau's passing.<ref name="MichealPriceTwitter">Micheal Price's Twitter (account closed)</ref> When [[Al Jean]] was asked if Dora and Doris are the same person, he stated that they are sisters.<ref>[https://x.com/AlJean/status/1258903300868468736 Al Jean's Twitter]</ref>

'''Bambi Bouvier''' (née '''Petitbois'''), occasionally referred to as '''Great Grandma Bouvier''', was the daughter of [[Henri Petitbois|Henri]] and [[Marie Petitbois]] and the paternal grandmother of [[Marge Simpson]]. She married [[Pépé Bouvier]] and they had three sons; [[Clarence Bouvier|Clarence]], [[JoJo Bouvier|JoJo]] and [[Chester Bouvier]] and one daughter; [[Charlene Bouvier]]. Like many other Bouvier relatives, Bambi smoked.

== History ==
When Marge was young, Bambi owned a old dog named [[Fetchy]]. She owned a silver locket with a picture of her in her {{W|flapper}} days. She told Marge that the 1972 soft rock song ''{{W2|Brandy|You're a Fine Girl}}'' (written by [[Elliot Lurie]]) was based on her life. [[Selma]] sings ''Brandy'' as a sad ballad lullaby to [[Lisa]].<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref>

What appeared to be a Civil War figurine was passed down to Marge from her or [[Alvarine Gurney|Marge's other grandmother]], but when the family went to sell it to [[Cockamamie's]], it turned out to be a liquor bottle from the early 1970s.<ref>"[[Homer's Phobia]]"</ref>

'''Selma Bouvier-Bouvier-Terwilliger-Hutz-McClure-Stuart-Simpson'''<ref>"[[Much Apu About Nothing]]"</ref> or '''Selma Bouvier''' is one of [[Marge]]'s older chain-smoking twin sisters, who works at the [[DMV]] and possess a strong dislike for her brother-in-law, [[Homer]]. Selma is the adoptive mother of [[Ling]].

== Biography ==
[[File:Patty and Selma Every Simpsons Ever.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Selma Bouvier was born two minutes before [[Patty]].<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref> Due to a childhood bottle rocket accident, she lost the senses of taste and smell.<ref>"[[Black Widower]]"</ref> Selma's favorite film actor was reportedly [[Troy McClure]], to whom she was briefly married before discovering it was just a publicity stunt by McClure. She was willing to live a sham for a while, but broke it off when she realized she couldn't bring a child into a loveless marriage.<ref>"[[A Fish Called Selma]]"</ref> According to Marge, Selma is "the one who likes Police Academy movies, Hummel figurines, and walking through the park on clear autumn days."<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref>

Selma inherited her deceased aunt's iguana, [[Jub-Jub]], instead of her mother, [[Jacqueline Bouvier|Jacqueline]] adopting him, due to Jacqueline's apparent dislike of Jub-Jub. Unlike Patty, Selma showed brief moments of sympathy for Homer, primarily due to his unwavering loyalty to his family. In fact, Selma is responsible for reuniting Homer with Marge after they split up, despite an agreement with Patty not to do so.<ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref>

Homer also demonstrated moments of kindness towards Selma such as offering advice and sympathy, when she began to question her own ability to be a mother after attempting to take care of Bart and Lisa for an afternoon. Later, Homer was convinced by Marge to act as Selma's husband so she could adopt a Chinese baby and did all he could to make sure Selma got to keep said baby.<ref>"[[Goo Goo Gai Pan]]"</ref> He also helped her and Patty keep their jobs after they were caught smoking at work (although this was more for Marge's sake). However, these instances are still very few and far between. Unlike Patty, Selma is very desperate to find love after seeing her Aunt Gladys' tape. She also asks Marge for advice to find love, saying Patty is 2 minutes more beautiful than she is.

Selma's favorite brand of cigarettes is identified as "Laramie Hi-Tars" while Patty's favorite brand of cigarettes is "Lady Laramie 100s"; they have been claimed by their mother to "have started smoking even before birth". They share an apartment at the Spinster Arms apartment complex and work at the [[Department of Motor Vehicles]] (DMV). They on numerous occasions acted unprofessionally in the course of their jobs.

=== Personality ===
Selma lacks the senses of taste and smell due to a childhood bottle rocket accident (one shot up her nose).<ref>"[[Black Widower]]"</ref> Both twin sisters tend to be cynical and are noted for their addiction to tobacco smoking. They have a strong, mutual (and reciprocated) dislike for their [[Homer Simpson|brother-in-law]]. She (along with her sister) are shown to be older than Homer and Marge, but a birthdate has not been given. It is presumed they are 41.

Unlike Homer, who usually makes a perfunctory (if not particularly sincere or committed) effort to be polite to his sisters-in-law out of respect for his [[Marge Simpson|wife]], Patty and Selma have no hesitation in treating Homer with open rudeness and contempt. There were several instances where they did not seem to care when Homer faced a life-threatening situation. For instance, when Marge rushes to the hospital after receiving a telephone call Homer suffered a heart attack at work, Patty and Selma — instead of going to the hospital and comforting Marge in her time of need — remained seated at the kitchen table, continuing their activity of cutting coupons, gasping in amazement at a five cent discount and behaving as though nothing was wrong.<ref>"[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]"</ref> They later attempted to set up Marge with a (rather sleazy) friend as a replacement for Homer, regardless of the fact Homer was still very much alive.

When Homer faked his death to get out of work, Patty and Selma showed up at the Simpson house holding a tombstone inscribed with "Homer J. Simpson. We are richer for having lost him." This gift as well as the fact they been saving for this since Marge's wedding causes her to angrily throw them out.<ref>"[[Mother Simpson]]"</ref>

Her bad traits have not gone unnoticed by the populace of Springfield and even their family, her mother even stated "[they're] a sort of evil", having raised them her whole life.

=== Relationships ===
Despite being identical twins, Patty and Selma have very different track records when it comes to finding dates. According to Marge, Patty chose a life of celibacy, while Selma had celibacy thrust upon her. Her standards are extremely low, as evidenced by her comments on [[Mr. Burns]]: "Single, eh? Well, he passes the Selma Test."

Selma actively sought out a husband, having been married a total of six times. Her current name evolved into Selma Bouvier-Terwilliger-Hutz-McClure-Discothèque-Simpson-D'Amico, after failed marriages to [[Sideshow Bob]], [[Lionel Hutz]], [[Troy McClure]], [[Disco Stu]], [[Abraham Simpson]], and [[Fit Tony]]. Selma later began dating and later married Grampa Simpson, who previously dated her mother. Eventually, however, they realized they just cannot make it work because of his age and her career and called it quits. Selma once dated [[Hans Moleman]] but when the date finished, Selma imagined what life with Hans would be like and swiftly kicked him out of her car.<ref>"[[Selma's Choice]]"</ref> Selma once made out on a park bench with [[Moe Szyslak]] after mistaking him for {{W|John Ritter}}; however they continued making out anyway,<ref>"[['Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky]]"</ref> she later dated Moe a second time.<ref>"[[Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life]]"</ref> She once dated [[Barney Gumble]]<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref> and may have hooked up with him again during "[[Halloween of Horror|Grown up Halloween]]".<ref>"[[The Simpsons: Tapped Out Treehouse of Horror 2015 content update]]"</ref> Selma once claimed she and [[Kent Brockman]] made out on the date of 9/11.<ref>"[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]"</ref>

Selma had a seemingly on/off relationship with [[Apu]]. When Apu was threatened with deportation Selma refused to marry him due to his long name.<ref>"[[Much Apu About Nothing]]"</ref> However she later slept with him after [[A Milhouse Divided|Homer and Marge's second wedding]].<ref>"[[Wedding for Disaster]]"</ref> Later still she was one of the women who bought Apu at a bachelor auction.<ref>"[[The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons]]"</ref>

Unable to find companionship in a husband, Selma also sought to have children. At one point she was considering using a sperm donor. After babysitting Bart and Lisa for a day, she realized although she wanted someone to love, she was not ready to have children and wound up adopting Jub-Jub, her Aunt Gladys' pet iguana. Later however, a very menopausal Selma adopted a Chinese baby, [[Ling Bouvier]]. During the adoption process, Selma pretended to be married to Homer, since the Chinese government only allows children to be adopted by married couples. When the fraud was exposed, Selma managed to keep the baby, as a Chinese dignitary who had also been raised by a single parent became sympathetic.

=== Other ===
As children, Selma and her sister [[Patty Bouvier]] were apparently domineering towards Marge and ridiculed her ambition of becoming an astronaut. Their relationship seems to have improved over the years. As adults, the Bouvier twins have a friendly relationship with their sister and frequently visit the Simpsons. They seem relatively fond of their nieces and nephew, but seem to like them more when they are young: ''"The older they get, the cuter they ain't."'' They, on occasion, watched the kids when their parents were out of town. However, Bart and Lisa would rather not be around when their aunts visit. Their idea of bonding with Lisa includes tutoring her in the belief men are pigs, using Homer as the prime example.

Their relationship with Homer remains one of mutual dislike (although Selma gradually grows to become more tolerant towards Homer and often experiences brief moments of kindness from both Homer and Selma) which involves a continuous exchange of insults from day one. They unfavorably compare their brother-in-law to a caveman, suggesting him capable of trading Maggie for beer and a nudie magazine.

Selma and Patty occasionally expressed their common hope Marge will eventually divorce Homer. They are often quick in pointing out his attempts at infidelity, and unsuccessfully offered to help Marge find a replacement for Homer (although Selma eventually gave in and helped Marge find Homer after seeing how truly unhappy she was without him). The twins went so far as to have a billboard built trying to convince voters to have Homer kicked out of Springfield.<ref>"[[Three Gays of the Condo]]"</ref>

Their dislike towards Homer even led to push Homer off a bridge, although they halfheartedly claim they did this in order to get him to his surprise party, conveniently on a boat passing under the bridge at the time.<ref>"[[Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind]]"</ref>

Although Homer dislikes Selma and Patty, he showed occasional bouts of kindness towards them, and Selma in particular (much to the Twin's surprise), although, he often does this more because of his love for Marge than for any love for his in-laws.

Selma once took the Simpson children on a disastrous trip to the Duff Gardens theme park. Unable to control the children, Bart manhandles several animatronic characters and Lisa goes on a psychedelic trip after drinking "water" from an ''It's a Small World'' - like boat ride (later swimming naked in the Fermentarium and exclaiming "I am the lizard queen!"). After that, however, Selma returned home with the children and asked Homer how he does it, referring to raising children. She mentioned children and they exchanged a hug, implying Selma is slightly more capable of overcoming her dislike of Homer than Patty.<ref>"[[Selma's Choice]]"</ref>

=== The Simpsons Game ===
Patty and Selma appear in the level [[NeverQuest]] in the form of a two-headed dragon who attack the Hobbit-like forms of [[Rod Flanders]], [[Todd Flanders]], and [[Ralph Wiggum]]. They also appear earlier on in [[Mob Rules]] as people Marge can use to protest the sales of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' videogame to minors.

God knows it's long enough without Nahasapeemapet-whatever."</ref> or '''Selma Bouvier''' is one of [[Marge]]'s older chain-smoking twin sisters, who works at the [[DMV]] and possess a strong dislike for her brother-in-law, [[Homer]]. Selma is the adoptive mother of [[Ling]].

== Biography ==
[[File:Patty and Selma Every Simpsons Ever.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Selma Bouvier was born two minutes before [[Patty]].<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref> Due to a childhood bottle rocket accident, she lost the senses of taste and smell.<ref>"[[Black Widower]]"</ref> Selma's favorite film actor was reportedly [[Troy McClure]], to whom she was briefly married before discovering it was just a publicity stunt by McClure. She was willing to live a sham for a while, but broke it off when she realized she couldn't bring a child into a loveless marriage.<ref>"[[A Fish Called Selma]]"</ref> According to Marge, Selma is "the one who likes Police Academy movies, Hummel figurines, and walking through the park on clear autumn days."<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref>

Selma inherited her deceased aunt's iguana, [[Jub-Jub]], instead of her mother, [[Jacqueline Bouvier|Jacqueline]] adopting him, due to Jacqueline's apparent dislike of Jub-Jub. Unlike Patty, Selma showed brief moments of sympathy for Homer, primarily due to his unwavering loyalty to his family. In fact, Selma is responsible for reuniting Homer with Marge after they split up, despite an agreement with Patty not to do so.<ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref>

Homer also demonstrated moments of kindness towards Selma such as offering advice and sympathy, when she began to question her own ability to be a mother after attempting to take care of Bart and Lisa for an afternoon. Later, Homer was convinced by Marge to act as Selma's husband so she could adopt a Chinese baby and did all he could to make sure Selma got to keep said baby.<ref>"[[Goo Goo Gai Pan]]"</ref> He also helped her and Patty keep their jobs after they were caught smoking at work (although this was more for Marge's sake). However, these instances are still very few and far between. Unlike Patty, Selma is very desperate to find love after seeing her Aunt Gladys' tape. She also asks Marge for advice to find love, saying Patty is 2 minutes more beautiful than she is.

Selma's favorite brand of cigarettes is identified as "Laramie Hi-Tars" while Patty's favorite brand of cigarettes is "Lady Laramie 100s"; they have been claimed by their mother to "have started smoking even before birth". They share an apartment at the Spinster Arms apartment complex and work at the [[Department of Motor Vehicles]] (DMV). They on numerous occasions acted unprofessionally in the course of their jobs.

=== Personality ===
Selma lacks the senses of taste and smell due to a childhood bottle rocket accident (one shot up her nose).<ref>"[[Black Widower]]"</ref> Both twin sisters tend to be cynical and are noted for their addiction to tobacco smoking. They have a strong, mutual (and reciprocated) dislike for their [[Homer Simpson|brother-in-law]]. She (along with her sister) are shown to be older than Homer and Marge, but a birthdate has not been given. It is presumed they are 41.

Unlike Homer, who usually makes a perfunctory (if not particularly sincere or committed) effort to be polite to his sisters-in-law out of respect for his [[Marge Simpson|wife]], Patty and Selma have no hesitation in treating Homer with open rudeness and contempt. There were several instances where they did not seem to care when Homer faced a life-threatening situation. For instance, when Marge rushes to the hospital after receiving a telephone call Homer suffered a heart attack at work, Patty and Selma — instead of going to the hospital and comforting Marge in her time of need — remained seated at the kitchen table, continuing their activity of cutting coupons, gasping in amazement at a five cent discount and behaving as though nothing was wrong.<ref>"[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]"</ref> They later attempted to set up Marge with a (rather sleazy) friend as a replacement for Homer, regardless of the fact Homer was still very much alive.

When Homer faked his death to get out of work, Patty and Selma showed up at the Simpson house holding a tombstone inscribed with "Homer J. Simpson. We are richer for having lost him." This gift as well as the fact they been saving for this since Marge's wedding causes her to angrily throw them out.<ref>"[[Mother Simpson]]"</ref>

Her bad traits have not gone unnoticed by the populace of Springfield and even their family, her mother even stated "[they're] a sort of evil", having raised them her whole life.

=== Relationships ===
Despite being identical twins, Patty and Selma have very different track records when it comes to finding dates. According to Marge, Patty chose a life of celibacy, while Selma had celibacy thrust upon her. Her standards are extremely low, as evidenced by her comments on [[Mr. Burns]]: "Single, eh? Well, he passes the Selma Test."

Selma actively sought out a husband, having been married a total of six times. Her current name evolved into Selma Bouvier-Terwilliger-Hutz-McClure-Discothèque-Simpson-D'Amico, after failed marriages to [[Sideshow Bob]], [[Lionel Hutz]], [[Troy McClure]], [[Disco Stu]], [[Abraham Simpson]], and [[Fit Tony]]. Selma later began dating and later married Grampa Simpson, who previously dated her mother. Eventually, however, they realized they just cannot make it work because of his age and her career and called it quits. Selma once dated [[Hans Moleman]] but when the date finished, Selma imagined what life with Hans would be like and swiftly kicked him out of her car.<ref>"[[Selma's Choice]]"</ref> Selma once made out on a park bench with [[Moe Szyslak]] after mistaking him for {{W|John Ritter}}; however they continued making out anyway,<ref>"[['Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky]]"</ref> she later dated Moe a second time.<ref>"[[Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life]]"</ref> She once dated [[Barney Gumble]]<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref> and may have hooked up with him again during "[[Halloween of Horror|Grown up Halloween]]".<ref>"[[The Simpsons: Tapped Out Treehouse of Horror 2015 content update]]"</ref> Selma once claimed she and [[Kent Brockman]] made out on the date of 9/11.<ref>"[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]"</ref>

Selma had a seemingly on/off relationship with [[Apu]]. When Apu was threatened with deportation Selma refused to marry him due to his long name.<ref>"[[Much Apu About Nothing]]"</ref> However she later slept with him after [[A Milhouse Divided|Homer and Marge's second wedding]].<ref>"[[Wedding for Disaster]]"</ref> Later still she was one of the women who bought Apu at a bachelor auction.<ref>"[[The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons]]"</ref>

Unable to find companionship in a husband, Selma also sought to have children. At one point she was considering using a sperm donor. After babysitting Bart and Lisa for a day, she realized although she wanted someone to love, she was not ready to have children and wound up adopting Jub-Jub, her Aunt Gladys' pet iguana. Later however, a very menopausal Selma adopted a Chinese baby, [[Ling Bouvier]]. During the adoption process, Selma pretended to be married to Homer, since the Chinese government only allows children to be adopted by married couples. When the fraud was exposed, Selma managed to keep the baby, as a Chinese dignitary who had also been raised by a single parent became sympathetic.

=== Other ===
As children, Selma and her sister [[Patty Bouvier]] were apparently domineering towards Marge and ridiculed her ambition of becoming an astronaut. Their relationship seems to have improved over the years. As adults, the Bouvier twins have a friendly relationship with their sister and frequently visit the Simpsons. They seem relatively fond of their nieces and nephew, but seem to like them more when they are young: ''"The older they get, the cuter they ain't."'' They, on occasion, watched the kids when their parents were out of town. However, Bart and Lisa would rather not be around when their aunts visit. Their idea of bonding with Lisa includes tutoring her in the belief men are pigs, using Homer as the prime example.

Their relationship with Homer remains one of mutual dislike (although Selma gradually grows to become more tolerant towards Homer and often experiences brief moments of kindness from both Homer and Selma) which involves a continuous exchange of insults from day one. They unfavorably compare their brother-in-law to a caveman, suggesting him capable of trading Maggie for beer and a nudie magazine.

Selma and Patty occasionally expressed their common hope Marge will eventually divorce Homer. They are often quick in pointing out his attempts at infidelity, and unsuccessfully offered to help Marge find a replacement for Homer (although Selma eventually gave in and helped Marge find Homer after seeing how truly unhappy she was without him). The twins went so far as to have a billboard built trying to convince voters to have Homer kicked out of Springfield.<ref>"[[Three Gays of the Condo]]"</ref>

Their dislike towards Homer even led to push Homer off a bridge, although they halfheartedly claim they did this in order to get him to his surprise party, conveniently on a boat passing under the bridge at the time.<ref>"[[Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind]]"</ref>

Although Homer dislikes Selma and Patty, he showed occasional bouts of kindness towards them, and Selma in particular (much to the Twin's surprise), although, he often does this more because of his love for Marge than for any love for his in-laws.

Selma once took the Simpson children on a disastrous trip to the Duff Gardens theme park. Unable to control the children, Bart manhandles several animatronic characters and Lisa goes on a psychedelic trip after drinking "water" from an ''It's a Small World'' - like boat ride (later swimming naked in the Fermentarium and exclaiming "I am the lizard queen!"). After that, however, Selma returned home with the children and asked Homer how he does it, referring to raising children. She mentioned children and they exchanged a hug, implying Selma is slightly more capable of overcoming her dislike of Homer than Patty.<ref>"[[Selma's Choice]]"</ref>

=== The Simpsons Game ===
Patty and Selma appear in the level [[NeverQuest]] in the form of a two-headed dragon who attack the Hobbit-like forms of [[Rod Flanders]], [[Todd Flanders]], and [[Ralph Wiggum]]. They also appear earlier on in [[Mob Rules]] as people Marge can use to protest the sales of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' videogame to minors.

OQ25:

{{Title|got milk?}}
[[File:Got Milk.jpg|200px|thumb|The print advertisement featuring [[Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson]].]]

'''Got Milk?''' (stylized '''got milk?''') was an American advertising campaign encouraging the consumption of cow's milk. The slogan was licensed to National Milk Processor Board in [[1995]] which began a line of print advertisements featuring celebrities and fictional characters.

In [[1997]], ''[[The Simpsons]]'' characters [[Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson]] were featured in print advertisements, each wearing their church clothes with "milk mustaches".

== Quotes ==
:'''Bart:''' Lisa, I like that mustache even better than the one you usually have.
:'''Lisa:''' Listen, bonehead, experts say calcium helps prevent osteoporosis. So have a cow, man.

[[File:Got Urine.png||left|200px|thumb|got urine?]]
== Behind the Laughter ==
*''[[The Simpsons]]'' once parodied "got milk?" with "got urine?" in the [[season 22]] episode "[[Love Is a Many-Strangled Thing]]".
*Lisa wears a "got almond milk?" shirt in the [[season 36]] episode "[[Shoddy Heat]]", a reference to the "got milk?" advertising campaign.

Edna Krabappoly

OQ25:

[[File:Edna Krabappoly.png|thumb|right|250px]]
'''''Edna Krabappoly''''' is a board game. It is a version of ''[[Monopoly]]'' with a picture of [[Edna Krabappel]] on the cover.

== History ==
The cover of the game shows Edna posing provocatively, sitting on "GO" and holding a cigar. She is wearing a risqué and androgynous outfit consisting of a top hat, a bowtie, a bare-midriff top showing her cleavage, tight shorts, fishnet stockings and stilettos.

When acid rain melted the television antenna, [[Marge]] said that the family didn't need TV to have fun, and suggested that they play Monopoly. [[Lisa]] asked "Which version?" and looked through several editions of Monopoly in the family's game closet, in the process coming across ''Edna Krabappoly''. Marge said they should stick to the original, and Lisa put the other editions away.

It is unknown why or when ''Edna Krabbopoly'' was made.

== Trivia ==
*The other ''Monopoly'' editions Lisa finds in the closet include the original version, ''[[Star Wars Monopoly]]'', ''[[Rasta-Mon-opoly]]'' and ''[[Galip-olopoly]]''. The latter two refer to {{W|Jamaica}}ns and their accents and to the {{W|Gallipoli Campaign|Battle of Gallipoli}} during {{W|World War I}}, respectively.
*In real life, there are a large number of {{W|List of licensed and localized editions of Monopoly|localized and theme-based}} versions of ''Monopoly'', including editions based on ''Star Wars'' and ''The Simpsons''.

"'''Brawl in the Family'''" is the seventh episode of [[season 13]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and the two-hundred and seventy-sixth episode overall. It originally aired on January 6, [[2002]]. The episode was written by [[Joel H. Cohen]] and directed by [[Matthew Nastuk]]. It guest stars [[Jane Kaczmarek]] as [[Judge Constance Harm]] and [[Delroy Lindo]] as [[Gabriel]].

== Synopsis ==
{{Desc|When [[Simpson family|the Simpsons]] need police intervention to settle a quarrel that breaks out during a game of ''Monopoly'', they are ordered to undergo family counseling sessions with a social worker to re-establish themselves as a functional family. Their newfound harmony is put to the test, however, when [[Homer]]'s and [[Ned]]'s "Vegas wives" (from "[[Viva Ned Flanders]]") turn up in [[Springfield]].}}

== Plot ==
The show begins with a meeting of [[Springfield Republican Party|Springfield's Republican Party]], chaired by [[Mr. Burns]], plotting what evil to undertake for the week. After a few suggestions, they decide to destroy the environment and scrap all anti-pollution laws.

From the next day onwards, recycling becomes a felony offense. Owl habitats are destroyed. [[Mayor Quimby]] pulls the plug, literally, on the Springfield wetlands, sending them swirling down a huge drain. All factories and industries generate vast amounts of pollution, which produces acid rain.

[[Marge]] advises the family to stay indoors. Homer's okay with that idea, as long as there is TV to watch. Unfortunately for Homer, the acid rain melts the antenna thereby killing the signal. Homer can not fix it, due to the acid rain. Marge suggests that they play Monopoly to pass the time. [[Lisa]] picks out many different variants of [[Monopoly]], including [[Star Wars Monopoly]], [[Rasta-Mon-opoly]], [[Galip-olopoly]], and [[Edna Krabappoly]], until Marge decides upon the original version.

The game starts and Bart catches Homer on his lot and Homer, who's pretty much busted, has to pay up. Lisa realizes that Bart is using Lego pieces as hotels. Since Bart bought her a house, Marge takes his side. Bart asks: "Who else is going to take care of her? Dad?" Homer throttles Bart, with Marge and Lisa arguing about and demonstrating how to pull them off. The whole fracas upsets [[Maggie]], who speed-dials the cops. The cops arrive and see the brawl and decide to send in a Negotia-bot, a policewoman robot, used to break up fights. She tries to break up the fight, but the family keeps on fighting. So she envelops them in taffy, to subdue them. They are placed in a jail cell (even Maggie). Marge sighs that the family has hit rock bottom.

At that moment, a choral note plays and in walks a man, named [[Gabriel]], wearing a white suit. Homer, hearing the choral note, assumes Gabriel is an angel, but Gabriel assures him that it is just his pager going off. He introduces himself as a social worker, who has come to bail them out and to help them become a family again.

Gabriel soon begins questioning them. He starts off with Lisa, who declares her room is her sanctuary and her family respects this. Just then, Bart, sprayed by a skunk, runs in and uses her sweaters to clean up. Next up is Bart and Bart feels proud that Gabriel is following him around. When it is Marge's turn, she tells him how she loves to cook, although a little creepily. In Moe's Tavern, Homer introduces "Gabriel the angel" to beer and gets drunk and verbally dumps on his family, especially himself. Gabriel has his work cut out for him.

The next day, he takes the Simpsons to a picturesque clearing in the woods (which Homer thinks is Heaven). He then starts to give his appraisals on the family. Marge medicates the family with food. Bart does everything to get attention (at that moment, he has a beard of bees). Homer is, quite simply, a drunken, childish buffoon. Then he tells them that he has hung up their lunch (roast beef sandwiches, a falafel for Lisa, and beer) on top of a tree.

When Homer hears there's beer on top of the tree, instead of climbing it, he gets in the car and rams it into the tree. The tree falls over and slides over a canyon, taking Gabriel along with it. It gets wedged between two canyon walls. Gabriel manages to hold on to a branch. Unfortunately, a pack of wolves and cougars has scented the lunch and they gather under the tree. The Simpsons try to devise a rescue plan, as a family. Homer climbs down; the rest of the family steadies his descent. Giving the wolves and cougars the lunch and beer (not [[Duff]]), they manage to climb to safety. They all go home, happily singing "We Are Family" (with edited lyrics).

As they pull up to the house, they see [[Amber Simpson|Amber Pigal-Simpson]] and [[Ginger Flanders]], the two ladies who Homer and Ned married in Vegas while drunk in "[[Viva Ned Flanders]]". Gabriel, in disgust, walks off. Marge, on being introduced to Amber, gets mad at Homer. Ginger goes to the Flanders' residence and is reluctantly accepted by Ned. Although a widowered Ned is not in Homer's situation, he still has plenty of reservations about this. Homer tries to get an annulment to placate Marge, but [[Judge Constance Harm]] denies it and orders him to take care of both wives. Marge throws Homer out, so he moves into the treehouse with Amber, who makes him a sandwich, arousing Marge's jealousy.

Ned is not faring much better than Homer. The next morning, Ned, [[Rod]], and [[Todd]], wake up Ginger. His extremely nice, religious and pious outlook almost sickens her, and she responds by snapping at him. At the Simpsons place, "Vegas Mom" tries to warm up to the kids, but they blow her off. That night, Homer can not sleep with Marge and does not want to sleep with his Vegas wife, so he tries to sleep in the doghouse, but he wrecks it. The next morning, Marge has a word with him and they come up with a plan. They act as if they have fought and Homer goes to [[Moe's Tavern]] with Amber and gets her drunk. The next morning, Amber wakes up and finds out that Reverend Lovejoy married her to [[Abe Simpson]] (Homer's father) while she was drunk, in the same manner she married Homer, thus annulling her marriage to Homer. Nervous by Abe, she runs off, along with Ginger (who has had enough of Ned's sugary sweetness), and go back to Vegas. The Simpsons celebrate their victory as a family.

Template talk:Character

2024-12-16T04:15:03Z

OQ25:

==Template Layot==
The new layout for this template which puts two character templates next to eachother instead of under is really annoying. As many character pages are about two characters instead of one and two templates next to eachother is blocking many info. Also, many articles such as Gunter and Ernst have to share templates for both characters. I think the old layout should return.[[User:Dr. Ralph Wiggum|Dr. Ralph Wiggum]] 12:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

==Captilazation==
Shouldn't all the info be captalized?[[User:Dr. Ralph Wiggum|Dr. Ralph Wiggum]] 01:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

== Relatives ==

I get the standard of within the episode so I'm not trying to make some kind of comprehensive family tree within the infobox listing off anybody and everybody, but only relatives for real-world characters notable enough to have pages on this website of their own (which is a similar standard on English Wikipedia for its infoboxes guidelines). Someone else reading the article can click on it means another page with more ads viewed. For example with [[Nicole Kidman]] it's never mentioned within any episode she's a professional actress or her nationality being Australian American. I'm trying to write a total and complete biographical article, but it's the minimum of real world knowledge applied for the infobox to wikilink to other characters already notable enough to have his/her own page. Look at the {{W|Nicole Kidman|Nicole Kidman's Wikipedia entry}} where the infobox names and wikilinks {{W|Anthony Kidman|her father}} as he's a prominent psychologist in Australia with his own article and while Nicole Kidman obviously also has a mother her article's infobox's relatives section doesn't list her mother as she (so far) does not have her own separate Wikipedia entry. That was the kind of model I was using and would just like it to be considered for this Simpsons wiki? I get wanting to stay just citing and referencing stuff within the Simpsonverse canon rather than more and more real-world additional information since if a person truly wants to learn more about someone like Nicole Kidman, there's plenty of other online resources to do that, but it's just a minimal addition along the lines of profession or nationality (or naming the capital on articles on a country or state) of one or two wikilinks to other characters notable enough to get articles here.

:With celebrity professions, it's assumed that they are the same as real life due to the fact they're celebrities in the first place. However, with spouses, it's more complicated. Because of how the floating timeline works in the show, we don't know whether they're supposed to be married to someone at that time in the show. Plus, the show does take some creative liberties with celebrities. i.e. {{Ch|Bob Hope}} was designed to look way younger than he actually was at the time, and I'm pretty sure that {{Ch|Taika Waititi}} isn't a criminal irl. Because of these creative liberties the show takes, unless the show states that they were married to a certain person, or even implies it (in the case of Cruise and Kidman being on a magazine cover together), then we don't know for sure that they were married in the show. It's a similar policy to our real-world deaths policy, where unless a character is confirmed dead in the show, even if they're deal in real life, they're marked as alive still. Because real life isn't the show. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 08:36, February 18, 2024 (EST)
::I really don't wish to get into the merits of the guidelines on alive or decease status since that seems like a separate can of worms.
::It's never pointed out directly that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are married, but seems fine to go with it. Not trying to defy Simpsons canon, but also don't want to obfuscate either. Couldn't the creative liberties go with real-world unless canon makes implicit different from the real-world. The standard "we can assume" seems like a hard to standard to apply so nationality and profession are the same, but also have different relatives. The Taika Waititi example seems as a different standard since he isn't a known thief in real life, he might not have the same relatives in the show. Plus unlike alive or decease status (i.e. band members of Green Day are actually alive (although haven't checked today)) I'm trying to think of multiple examples where a real-world character on the show make beyond clear does not have the same relatives within the Simpsons reality as they do in the real-world. William Howard Taft didn't have an extramarital affair with a fictional Mr. Burns' mother, but within the show he does which means that's what on his article yet doesn't change who were his real life relatives are versus the show's version of him. Jessica Simpson is the Simpson family's cousin, but while that different than reality still unsure how it would change who her little sister or husband were. And beyond plenty examples of real-world people have the same relatives within the show particular when the other relative is also well-known in his/her own right.

:::The show toke the effort to find the actual name of Vincent Price's real life unfamous grandson is an indication of a default towards reality like nationalities or professions unless the "creative liberties" is in service of an overt gag.[[User:Snowball II|Snowball II]] ([[User talk:Snowball II|talk]]) 10:44, February 18, 2024 (EST)
::::To go into the real-world people having different relatives in the show thing, {{Ch|Luke Perry}} is Krusty's brother, [[Jessica Simpson]] is said to be a cousin of the Simpson family in "[[The Blue and the Gray]]" and {{Ch|Ken Burns}} is related to Mr. Burns, as seen in the family tree in ''[[C. Montgomery Burns' Handbook of World Domination]]''. Although being a book, the canon of that one is debatable. So, celebs can have different relatives in the franchise than real life.
::::As for occupations, I guess we could cut back on some of the ones that celebs aren't as well known for, unless it's stated in the show. For example, we have some celebs listed as "philanthropists", or authors (even if they're not known for being an author) and we should just stick with the obvious ones. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 13:06, February 18, 2024 (EST)
:::::I think it's different having fake/fictional relatives in nonexistent Springfield as oppose to implicitly different relative from real ones especially notable ones in their own right. Luke Perry or Ken Burns are harder examples to use as overall template since the show goes out of the relate them to their own fictional characters as a gag, but also since neither have famous relatives of real-life character are made totally different by the show. So if Luke Perry had married a famous actress how that would be made different by being Krusty's half brother. Because ''The Simpsons'' isn't always 100% matching with real life, therefore unless make something clear doesn't seem like a totally workable standard nor is it even the standard used. Philadelphia is mentioned, but it's not a big deal to just add it's in Pennsylvania because it does in real life even if the show also exists in a world where impossibly New Jersey and Texas are bordering each other. Tom Cruise's has two other ex-wives who are working actresses and probably notable in their own right, {{W|Katie Holmes}} and {{W|Mimi Rogers}}. Whether they do or don't "exist" in the Simpsonsverse because their ex-husband does doesn't really matter since they themselves have never been brought up in anyway by the show or other material and I wouldn't and haven't added them. But Keith Urban is there and Nicole Kidman is there with articles (sorry kept coming back to Nicole Kidman, but it's just the most recent) and a small wikilink doesn't seem to contradict anything.
::::: Feel free to ignore this suggest, but I've noticed the first line of the Wikipedia article on real-world person is reused. A tip I have tried is going to the disambiguation page since often more succinct. i.e. for [[Franz Kafka]] just looked at {{W|Kafka (disambiguation)}} versus the first line of the article proper. [[User:Snowball II|Snowball II]] ([[User talk:Snowball II|talk]]) 13:55, February 18, 2024 (EST)
Maybe feeling this about me is just in my own head. Unsure what precisely I've done to get so second guessed. I get these are edits you wouldn't make, but I figured that's just the fun of wikis are different folks with different interests and niches. I can read you stating your take on this policy except I didn't just make up this standard since only started adding them after I saw on articles wikilinks to family members even ones where the relationship isn't referenced in any episode or other material. Now suddenly it gets reverted. "We just don't know" isn't consistent with already established policies. Being related to a fictional character doesn't make a totally different reality no more than a real-world actor can't live anywhere since he/she went to Springfield which doesn't exist. Seems as if anytime a family member of real-world people were brought, they go out of their way to be accurate like Mel Gibson in the show having the same number of children as he did in real life. Taking creative liberties with real world people happens for sure, but its stuff like Bette Midler and Krusty owning a racehorse together or her chasing down litterbugs or Sting being Krusty's opening act and biggin to rescue Bart from the well, but as to real-world person who also has well-known real life family members doesn't that different from knowing nationalities since generally being the same since Nicole Kidman or Tom Cruise's nationalities are never mentioned either, but it's accurate and informative. If there's an episode where Nicole Kidman is directly mentioned as single and ready to mingle, it's not the biggest thing to just change it then as would happen wit aby other additional information. There seems like a basis against actors since historical figures also get changed from the real world yet no pushback. Tom Cruise is an American, but it's not an issue to just restate that fact. If ever there's an episode where there's a gag that Tom Cruise is secretly Panamanian, just a quick edit, but doesn't mean we can't or don't know he's American in the Simpsonsverse until then. Also point out this kind of affects maybe a dozen or so pages. [[User:Snowball II|Snowball II]] ([[User talk:Snowball II|talk]]) 07:12, February 19, 2024 (EST)

== Names ==

[[User:Solar Dragon]]: What is the policy for "name="? I put "Discothèque Stuart" and "Oscar Gums Murphy" following other articles using "Barnard Gumble", "Horatio McCallister", "Jeffrey Albertson", "Marjorie Bouvier Simpson", etc. with "name=", but I see you reverted the ones I changed.

'''Maya''' is a little woman and [[Moe Szyslak]]'s fiancée.

== History ==
While Moe and Maya were corresponding online, Moe was captivated by her looks, and by the fact that she liked his jokes and thought his photo was cute. When they met in person, Moe was shocked to learn that Maya was a little person. Maya sent Moe pictures of her at [[Legoland]], making it look like she was of average height as she was worried that Moe would reject her if he knew she was a little person.

Despite this, they ended up hitting it off and had a good time going on dates. Moe worried what his friends and bar patrons would think of her, but [[Homer]] didn't even pay attention to her height, instead being impressed by her looks and her intelligence.

Maya nearly married Moe, but he got too comfortable joking with her about her height, much to her chagrin. Moe tried to make it up to her by arranging to have height-reduction surgery (to literally knock himself down to her size), but she convinced him not to. She then left Moe because she was put off by his willingness to try something so crazy, and also because she wanted to be with a man who was truly comfortable with her size. Moe's seeking the surgery, therefore, showed Maya that he wasn't the right man for her.

Moe was sad to see Maya leave, but he had many happy memories of her and kept her picture in [[Moe's Tavern|his bar]].<ref>"[[Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe]]"</ref>

Maya was in the little magician's room at the magic show.<ref>"[[The Great Simpsina]]"</ref>

In a coma dream that [[Bart]] had, Maya was on the wall of [[Ned Flanders]]' dead wives.<ref>"[[Flanders' Ladder]]"</ref>

Maya appeared in a flashback that Moe had where she slapped him.<ref>"[[From Russia Without Love]]"</ref>

Whilst stuck in a traffic jam, Moe noticed a car that looked familiar. When he realized it was Maya's car, he drove onto the sidewalk and drove off. When Moe got stuck in another traffic jam, he finally approached Maya. Maya told Moe that she missed him and that she should have never let him go. The two of them then started to date again. When Moe realized that things were starting to get serious between them, he got scared that Maya would break up with him again and ran off. Moe lived in [[Bart's treehouse]] for a few days until Homer talked him into going back to see Maya. When Moe got back to his house, he found Maya packing her stuff up. Moe quickly told Maya why he left, and apologized before he proposed to her. Maya accepted the proposal, to Moe's shock.<ref>"[[The Wayz We Were]]"</ref>

== Personality ==
Maya is self-conscious about her height, choosing a picture of herself that made her look taller to send to Moe. However, she is also comfortable about her height and the way she is, and doesn't want people to treat her differently because of it. Maya makes jokes about her own height sometimes, and is also fine with jokes being made about her, although she gets annoyed when people won't stop making jokes about it. Maya is one of the few people who actually found Moe's jokes funny and enjoyed spending time with him.

[[Mr. Burns]] had dumped nuclear waste under Lego Land, as he believed that it would not be found out for years. In the real world, the buildings have awoken, with the [[United States Capitol]] chasing kids and the [[Eiffel Tower]] stabbing a man. [[Smithers]] told him at he can go to prison, but Burns told him that he din't own the power plant, [[Canary M. Burns]] did, hence making Burn's a free man.<ref>"[[C.E. D'oh]]"</ref>

When [[Maya]] sent her picture to [[Moe]] he thought she was hot. Later, when Moe met Maya, he found out that the picture was taken at Lego Land.<ref>"[[Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe]]"</ref>

When [[Homer]] brought [[Lisa]] to [[The Spotted Cat]], he gave the bouncer her Legoland driving license.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets the Blues]]"</ref>

== Behind the Laughter ==

Disco Stu

'''Discothèque Stuart''',<ref>"[[Homer Scissorhands]]"</ref> generally known as '''Disco Stu''', is the owner of [[Stu's Disco]]. He is a disco aficionado and is usually featured wearing a rhinestone-encrusted leisure suit. He often refers to himself in the third person (putting a big emphasis on "Stu" and then pausing before saying anything else).

== History ==
Before becoming a fan of disco, Stu was known as Nautical Stu due to his career as a Sea Captain, before giving it up for his disco.

Stu visited the [[Evergreen Terrace|neighborhood]] yard sale and turned down the chance to buy Homer's "Disco Stu" jacket. He has also been seen with dead goldfish in his platform shoes, hitting on [[Marge Simpson]] at a ski lodge (until he finds out she has children), dancing with Homer after Homer discovers his love of walking, getting smashed by a jukebox thanks to a beefed up Marge, and most recently, a regular on Homer's talk show. During a "taxi cab confession", Disco Stu revealed that he's aware disco is dead, and that he does not even like it anymore.<ref>"[[How I Spent My Strummer Vacation]]"</ref> He expresses worry that he has let disco define him as a person and fears becoming a "one note guy".

Stu runs his own [[Stu's Disco|nightclub]] and tried to start a franchise chain.

== Religion and Relationships ==
Disco Stu got his marriage annulled by Pope John Paul II,<ref name="Marrying">"[[There's Something About Marrying]]"</ref> revealing that he is of the Catholic faith. He has been lucky with the ladies. He has dated [[Edna Krabappel]],<ref>"[[Bart Gets a "Z"]]"</ref> and [[Luann Van Houten]],<ref>"[[Milhouse of Sand and Fog]]"</ref> and was seen at an [[Absolut Krusty]] party with both [[Lindsey Naegle]] and [[Cookie Kwan]].<ref>"[[The Man in the Blue Flannel Pants]]"</ref> Stu also seems to have an attraction to the Bouvier sisters, but with less success:

He was once married to [[Selma]].<ref name="Marrying"/> Selma later tried to rekindle the relationship with Stu after her smoking relapse. At first Stu told her he was over her (despite the photos and artwork of her all over his house), but he apparently consented to at least a fling as he and Selma got together in her apartment after [[Patty]] left. When Patty returned, the sisters reconciled and Selma stated she had made a few mistakes while Patty was gone. At that point, Stu walked out of her bedroom while buttoning up his shirt and sadly said, "You said it was serious this time."<ref>"[[Puffless]]"</ref>

He once found himself attracted to [[Marge]], and put some moves on her in a ski lodge. However, he beat a hasty retreat when he learned she had kids.<ref>"[[Little Big Mom]]"</ref>

Disco Stu had a profile on the gay dating app, [[U.S. Male Service]]. In the video on the app, he said that he was hetero-flexible. However, [[Waylon Smithers]] thought that he was just going through a phase.<ref>"[[Portrait of a Lackey on Fire]]"</ref>

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
Disco Stu has also appeared as "[[Discus Stu]]" in a [[Tales from the Public Domain|parody]] of the ''{{W|Odyssey}}''. He was "Disco Shrew" in the "[[Treehouse of Horror XIII]]" parody of ''{{W2|The Island of Dr. Moreau|1977 film}}'', where Stu was turned into a shrew, but wasn't worried about his condition.

Stu appears as "Big Band Stu" in the parody of ''{{W2|The War of the Worlds|1938 radio drama}}'' radio panic that takes place in 1938, in "[[Treehouse of Horror XVII]]". Big Band Stu's grave appears in "[[Looking for Mr. Goodbart]]".

Disco Stu was once dating one of the nurses at [[Springfield Retirement Castle]]. However, they broke up when [[Bart]], [[Grampa]], [[Jasper]] and the [[Old Jewish man]] pranked her, making her look old.<ref>''[[One Flew Over the Retirement Castle]]''</ref>

Selma revealed that she's actually Marge's mother and not her sister, but right before she could finish saying who her father is (who is Disco Stu), she passed away.<ref>"[[Lisa the Boy Scout]]"</ref>

== Behind the Laughter ==
Although originally created as a throwaway gag character, Stu ended up being brought back again and again. He was originally going to be voiced by [[Phil Hartman]] in the episode "[[Two Bad Neighbors]]", but when the animators needed to do a model change, Phil wasn't available to redub the voice, so Hank Azaria took it over. Disco Stu is now shown in the HD [[opening sequence]] along with many other characters that have debuted from the start of the series to [[season 20]].

'''Oscar Gums "Bleeding Gums" Murphy'''<ref>"[[Lisa Gets the Blues]]": Lisa: "Oscar! Oh." [[Bleeding Gums Murphy's nephew]]: "Oscar Gums Murphy."</ref> was a jazz musician, and an idol of [[Lisa Simpson]].

== Biography ==
Bleeding Gums learned his musical skills "at the feet of [[Blind Willie Witherspoon]]". Willie wanted to give Bleeding Gums his saxophone, only to be finally told that it wasn't a saxophone and actually an umbrella, meaning that Willie had actually been playing an umbrella for some thirty years. Bleeding Gums explained to Willie that no one informed him of the mistake because "we all thought it was funny".<ref name="Round Springfield">"[['Round Springfield]]"</ref>

At one point, Murphy was married to a woman named [[Vela Murphy|Vela]], who was also a singer. At some point, they got divorced, but Vela still used her ex-husband's last name in a professional capacity.<ref>''{{ap|Springfield Shopper|comic}}''</ref>

Murphy had one child, [[Monk Murphy]]. When Monk was born, Bleeding Gums wrote "[[Monk's New Tune]]". Monk was born deaf, which saddened his father because it meant Monk could never hear his music. Bleeding Gums tried to raise the money to pay for cochlear implants for his son, but only made $16. He then wrote the song "Sixteen Bucks Just Ain't Enough".<ref name="The Sound of Bleeding Gums">"[[The Sound of Bleeding Gums]]"</ref>

Murphy recorded only one album, titled ''[[Sax on the Beach]]'', which was extremely lucrative for him. However, he soon went broke after spending his money on his Fabergé egg addiction. He revealed that he had once made a guest appearance on ''[[The Cosby Show]]'' in 1986 as the Huxtable children's grandfather, as well as appearing on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' when {{Ch|Steve Allen}} was the host.<ref name="Round Springfield"/>
[[File:The Cosby Show.png‎|200px|right|thumb|nail|Bleeding Gums on ''[[The Cosby Show]]''.]]

Bleeding Gums was a mentor to [[Lisa Simpson]] until his early death. He played and sang a [[Moanin' Lisa Blues|blues song written by Lisa]]. It pleased Lisa to see the performance of her own song in the club "[[The Jazz Hole]]", but not everyone in the family was happy with the lyrics, as they were sharply critical of [[Homer]] and [[Bart]], and mildly critical of [[Marge]].<ref>"[[Moaning Lisa]]"</ref>

Bleeding Gums once sang a twenty-six minute version of the American national anthem "{{ap|The Star-Spangled Banner|Dancin' Homer}}" at a [[Springfield Isotopes]] game.<ref>"[[Dancin' Homer]]"</ref>

He served as one of the three judges for a talent show once, giving Bart a 10 for his impersonation of Principal Skinner.<ref>"[[Lisa's Pony]]"</ref> Murphy also joined with a group of local celebrities in singing the song "[[We're Sending Our Love Down the Well]]" as a benefit for [[Timmy O'Toole]].<ref>"[[Radio Bart]]"</ref>

When [[Springfield]] was hit by a freak snowstorm and [[Mayor Quimby]] declared a snow day for the whole town, Murphy and Lisa were seen playing their saxes in the crowd of townspeople enjoying the snow.<ref>"[[Bart Gets an "F"]]"</ref>

[[Allison Taylor]] has a photo of Bleeding Gums on her wall. It may be possible that Bleeding Gums was also Allison's one idol.<ref>"[[Lisa's Rival]]"</ref> Lisa also has a picture of Bleeding Gums on her wall.

It is hinted that Dr. Hibbert and Bleeding Gums are long-lost brothers.<ref name="Round Springfield"/>

He has been featured on ''[[Before They Were Famous]]''.<ref>"[[Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious]]"</ref>

At some point before his death, Bleeding Gums Murphy told [[Bleeding Gums Murphy's nephew|his nephew]] that Lisa was the most promising young musician he had ever met.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets the Blues]]"</ref>

At some point before his death, he had a relationship with [[Mrs. Muntz]].<ref>"[[Better Off Ned]]"</ref>

In [[Bart]]'s coma dream, Bleeding Gums Murphy was one of the ghosts who came to Bart to get help to move on to the afterlife.<ref>"[[Flanders' Ladder]]"</ref>

== Death and legacy ==
[[File:Round Springfield.png|200px|thumb|Bleeding Gums (left) appearing to Lisa Simpson in a cloud, after his death.]]
[[File:Bleeding Gums tombstone.png|thumb|left|200px|Bleeding Gums' tombstone]]
When [[Bart]] went to the hospital after eating a jagged metal [[Krusty-O]], Lisa found Bleeding Gums in a hospital bed in a nearby ward. They played {{W|Carole King}}'s "{{W|Jazzman}}" together, entertaining everyone in the hospital. Bleeding Gums told Lisa about his life, family and career, including his only album, ''[[Sax on the Beach]]''. He also gave her advice for her upcoming school recital and lent her his saxophone. At the recital, only a few of the school band members were present and their performance of "{{W|The Stars and Stripes Forever}}" was about to fall flat, but Lisa saved the day with an inspired impromptu jam on Murphy's sax. Lisa returned from the recital to share her triumph with Bleeding Gums, only to find that he had died. (The cause was never revealed, nor was the reason Murphy was in the hospital in the first place.)

No one, except for Lisa, Marge and Homer, attended Murphy's funeral. [[Reverend Lovejoy]] officiated and got Murphy's name wrong, calling him "Blood and Guts Murphy" and "Bloody Gums Murphy", as well as saying that he was "quite the sousaphone player". Lovejoy's blundering outraged Lisa and moved her to find Murphy's album and have it played on the radio so people would know who he was. However, even the [[KJAZZ|local jazz station]] didn't have the album, and when she found it in [[Comic Book Guy]]'s [[The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop|shop]], it was priced at $500, which she couldn't afford. However, Bart had sued [[KrustyCo Inc.]] over the jagged metal Krusty-O incident and received $500 in a settlement. When he saw how disappointed Lisa was at not being able to buy Murphy's album, Bart bought the album and gave it to her. Lisa then took it to KJAZZ and the DJ played it on the radio. The station's signal was very weak, but a freak lightning strike hit the antenna and boosted the signal so that all of [[Springfield]] heard ''Sax on the Beach'' playing.

Murphy's face appeared from the clouds, thanking Lisa and telling him that he had made her happy. They were interrupted by other famous characters appearing: [[Mufasa]] from ''[[The Lion King]]'', [[Darth Vader]] from ''[[Star Wars]]'' and {{Ch|James Earl Jones}} reciting his "This is [[CNN]]" narration. Murphy asked them to leave, and he and Lisa jammed out to "Jazzman" one last time. Lisa wanted to do it again ("One more time!"), but Murphy protested that he had a date with {{Ch|Billie Holiday}}.<ref name="Round Springfield"/>

A hologram image of him was used by She-Done-Left-Me Records to advertise various products. This caused Lisa to protest against them for using dead celebrities to advertise various commercial products.<ref>"[[Whiskey Business]]"</ref>

After Bleeding Gums' death, the rights to his music were sold off by [[Treasured Artists Publishing]] to various other companies. This led to a song of his, "[[Can't Face Tomorrow]]", being turned into "[[Scratch That Itch]]" and used to advertise the [[Springfield Lottery]]. A giant hologram of him was also going on tour around Europe.<ref name="The Sound of Bleeding Gums"/>

== Behind the Laughter ==
The appearance of Bleeding Gums Murphy is loosely based on LeRoi Moore, the late saxophone player for the Dave Matthews Band. It may also be an homage to Sonny Rollins, a great saxophone player who famously retired from public performance and was not seen for three years, until a journalist discovered him playing the saxophone alone on the Williamsburg Bridge. Murphy's introductory appearance, where Lisa sees him playing his sax on a bridge in the middle of the night, is a direct reference to Rollins.

Bleeding Gums gave the origin of his nickname in "Moaning Lisa" as thus: "Well let me put it this way... you ever been to the dentist? Not me. I suppose I should go to one, but I got enough pain in my life as it is."

The voice of Bleeding Gums Murphy was provided by [[Ron Taylor]], while his saxophone playing is provided by [[Dan Higgins]]. In the episode "[[Dancin' Homer]]" he was voiced by [[Daryl L. Coley]].

Mufasa, Darth Vader, and (of course) the James Earl Jones CNN narration were voice roles originally portrayed by [[James Earl Jones]], but were performed by [[Harry Shearer]] for their scene in "[['Round Springfield]]".

Murphy has been a fixture of ''The Simpsons''' opening sequence from Season Two on, even after his death. He even appeared in the live-action format,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49IDp76kjPw Real Life Simpsons Intro] (He appears after 35 seconds) ''YouTube''. URL accessed on December 14, 2006</ref> in The Simpsons Sky One commercial, that was also used for the episode "[[Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife]]". In 2009, the opening sequence had to be updated since the series was now broadcast in hi-def widescreen format. The new, updated sequence removed Murphy completely apart from a picture of him that can be seen in the Music Room when Lisa plays her Sax.

In addition to his onscreen appearances, Murphy also appeared on ''[[The Simpsons Sing the Blues]]'', an album of rock, and jazz music with vocals performed by characters from the show. On the track "God Bless the Child" (a cover of the Billie Holiday song), performed by Lisa Simpson (Yeardley Smith), Murphy speaks up after the final chorus to praise Lisa for her vocals, after which he and Lisa perform a saxophone duet for the remainder of the song. Murphy was again voiced by Ron Taylor for the song, and his alto saxophone part was performed by Kim Richmond.
Everytime Lisa's room is seen after "[[Moaning Lisa]]" a picture of Bleeding Gums Murphy is seen.

'''Lisa Marie'''<ref name="Lisa's Wedding"/> '''Simpson''' (born May 9<ref>In the episode "[[My Sister, My Sitter]]" it's stated Lisa's 2 years and 38 days younger than Bart: Bart was born April 1, so Lisa's birthday will fall on May 9.</ref>) is a charismatic 8-year-old girl, who exceeds the standard achievement level of children her age. Not to everyone's surprise, she's also the moral center of her family. In her upbringing, Lisa lacks parental involvement of Homer and Marge, which leads to hobbies like playing saxophone and guitar, riding and caring for horses, and interest in advanced studies. In school, Lisa's popularity's affected by those who view her as a geeky overachiever, which leaves her with only a few friends. Lisa Simpson's a smart, witty, independent girl who focuses on her goals and strives to reach her potential, and at age 8 she's already a member of MENSA with an IQ of 159.

== Biography ==
[[File:Lisa Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
[[File:Lisas First Word.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Bart]] holding baby Lisa''.<ref name="Lisa's First Word">"[[Lisa's First Word]]"</ref>]]
[[File:Lisa's Kindergarten Report Card.png|thumb|left|Lisa's Springfield kindergarten's Report Card]]
[[File:Marge, Maggie, Lisa & Bart.png|200px|thumb|right|Lisa with [[Marge Simpson|her mother]] and siblings: [[Bart]] and [[Maggie]].]]
Lisa's quite eclectic in her knowledge and is notably more concerned with world affairs and problems than her cohorts. Lisa shares her intellect and overachieving personality traits with other female members of the Simpson family (revealed Simpson males inherit a gene on the Y chromosome preventing them from channeling their intellect),<ref>"[[Lisa the Simpson]]"</ref> such traits aren't seen within the Bouvier family. Lisa also deeply values her integrity, as demonstrated when she cheats on a test in ''[[The Wind in the Willows]]'' to attain her highest grade of A+++, but later admits her dishonesty to an unreceptive [[Principal Skinner]]. (She later re-grades the test as an F.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets an "A"]]"</ref>) Despite her intellect, Lisa received detention, like her brother Bart, quite a number of times, often because of her rebellious and sometimes bitter attitude and anti-social behavior capable of deeply embarrassing authority figures.
[[File:Bart, Lisa and Maggie playing.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Bart, Lisa and Maggie from [[season 24]]]]
Although her rebellion against social norms is usually constructive, Lisa can be whiny, cruel and self-righteous at times. When she believes herself to be right, she won't admit others may be as well, and will force her beliefs on people. Notably, her increasing sense of moral righteousness regarding her vegetarianism leads her to proselytize, culminating in her spiteful disruption of a "meat-based" barbecue prepared by Homer (an act she comes to rue).<ref name="Lisa the Vegetarian">"[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]"</ref> At times, Lisa appears to resist certain situations merely for the sake of resisting them, not because of any genuine ideological opposition. She appears to enjoy breaking the norm for its own sake; in one time, she triumphantly declared she, a girl, will like to join the football team. When it's revealed there are already girls on the team, she declares her distaste for a sport that will use a pig's skin to make its ball. When it's revealed the ball's actually synthetic, she's at a loss for words and runs off visibly upset.<ref name="Bart Star">"[[Bart Star]]"</ref>

Despite her high IQ, Lisa does have typical childhood issues, sometimes requiring adult intervention. She once tricked [[Homer]] into allowing her to ride the bus alone, only to become hopelessly lost. After his coworkers [[Lenny]] and [[Carl]] point out he allowed his 8 year old daughter to ride a bus by herself, Homer comes to her rescue.<ref>"[[Lost Our Lisa]]"</ref> Lisa has a Jewish imaginary friend named [[Rachel Cohen]] who "just got into Brandeis University."
Even with a high intellect, Lisa displays more personality traits of an eight-year old, including obsessing over getting a pony, being addicted to TV, and fighting with Bart. Lisa once got addicted to second hand smoke to maintain an impressive level of ballet competence; Homer tries to prevent the addiction unsuccessfully, and in the end, Lisa overcomes the addiction herself through means of [[Wikipedia:Hello Kitty|"Hello Kitty"]] nicotine patches.<ref>"[[Smoke on the Daughter]]"</ref> She also displays a surprising amount of skill in driving, especially for her age, sometimes even taking the wheel whenever Homer ends up distracted from driving.<ref name="Bart Star"/>

=== Appearance ===
[[File:Lisafolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Lisa's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]
Lisa's an eight year old girl who seems to have a problem with her weight. [[Sherri]] and [[Terri]] used to make fun of her and her 'big butt'.<ref name="Sleeping with the Enemy">"[[Sleeping with the Enemy]]"</ref> Most of Lisa's physical appearances comes from her father's side of the family, so does her stubby fingers which blocks her from her dream of becoming a jazz musician.<ref name="Separate Vocations">"[[Separate Vocations]]"</ref> Lisa's always shown wearing an orange strapless dress and a white pearl necklace. She occasionally wears a pink dress with a dress hat or a hair bow for church and formal activities. She has a 'starfish' like hairstyle in the same style as her younger sister, Maggie. Lisa's hairstyle's also a challenge for the animators to draw. Lisa's actually wearing invisible braces from Calvin Klein.<ref name="Last Exit to Springfield">"[[Last Exit to Springfield]]"</ref>

=== Intelligence ===
It's mentioned Lisa has an IQ of 159.<ref name="Homer's Enemy">"[[Homer's Enemy]]"</ref> She's a high-ranking member of [[Mensa International|Mensa Springfield]]. Lisa demonstrates an early intelligence by changing her own diaper as an infant. When unable to attend school due to a teachers strike, she suffered a sort of "school withdrawal" because she has an emergency box in case of a teacher strike. She begins to panic when she can only think of two synonyms to the word "stop". She constantly wants people to "grade her" because Marge gave her an "A" just to make her stop whining, and invents a perpetual motion machine Homer describes as it just "keeps going faster and faster". He goes on to chastise her, saying, "In this house, we obey the laws of {{W|thermodynamics}}!" <ref>"[[The PTA Disbands]]"</ref>

=== Beliefs ===
Lisa's political convictions are generally leftist and rather liberal. She's a vegetarian, and a supporter of the Free Tibet movement. Lisa yells "Free Tibet!" after winning the school spelling bee. She, like her mom, supported Democrat Mary Bailey over Right-Winged [[Mr. Burns]]; the twosome revealed Mr. Burns was a liar, and Mary Bailey wins in a landslide, the only known supporters being Smithers, Bart, and Homer.

While still supportive of the Christian church she was raised in, Lisa's now a practicing {{W|Buddhism|Buddhist}} following her decision to follow the {{W|Noble Eightfold Path}}.<ref>"[[She of Little Faith]]"</ref> Though apparently not an adherent, she mentions she considers Wicca "very empowering" <ref>"[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]"</ref>

=== Vegetarianism ===
Lisa turned vegetarian due to ethical reasons.<ref name="Lisa the Vegetarian"/> This was also hinted in a flash forward where we see Lisa as a vegetarian in the future.<ref name="Lisa's Wedding">"[[Lisa's Wedding]]"</ref> On [[Paul McCartney]]'s demand, she stayed vegetarian still.

=== Music ===
[[File:Lisa sax.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Lisa playing the Sax]]
Her musical abilities are extensive: she sings with a powerful voice, and was seen playing the acoustic six-string,<ref name="Last Exit to Springfield"/> electric bass guitar, accordion and piano proficiently. Her greatest love's playing jazz on her baritone saxophone. Her musical inclinations were nurtured by her relationship with the late jazz musician [[Bleeding Gums Murphy]]. She most likely inherited her musical ability from Homer, also musically inclined.

=== Independent learning ===
She's fluent in Italian (learned from [[Milhouse Van Houten]] before going to Italy), as well as some French and German verbs (with the help of a German verbwheel <ref>"[[The Canine Mutiny]]"</ref>), as well as Spanish.

=== Romantic Relationships ===
Lisa met countless boys during the course of her life. Her dream crush is a heartthrob from local teen magazines, Corey. Lisa admitted to Homer she liked a boy from school [[Langdon Alger]] but she was only joking. Before [[Trappuccino]], Lisa fell in love with an Irish environmental boy named [[Colin]]. Colin can play the piano, guitar, trumpet, drums, and the bass guitar. Lisa tells Marge the best part about him is he's not imaginary.

==== Nelson Muntz ====
Lisa's first boyfriend is a less-than-stellar schoolmate, [[Nelson Muntz]]. Lisa once had a crush on him after she found herself strangely attracted to his grungy lifestyle enough to ask him out. After Nelson lied to Lisa about something, she decided to break up with him.

==== Luke Stetson ====
[[Luke Stetson]],<ref>"[[Dude, Where's My Ranch?]]"</ref> was also an object of Lisa's affection, short-lived after Lisa mislead Luke's sister to a dance.

==== Ralph Wiggum ====
[[Ralph Wiggum]] once had a crush on Lisa after Lisa sent him a Valentine's Day card, but his heart was broken after Lisa admitted on [[the Krusty the Klown Show]] she wasn't in love with him. They're currently just friends.

==== Milhouse Van Houten ====
Of all of the boys Lisa encountered, the most desperate and most prominent one was [[Milhouse Van Houten]], who always makes attempts to win Lisa's heart. On one occasion, in order to go on a school trip to Italy, Lisa was forced to learn Italian from Milhouse, who went to Italy countless times. This nearly caused Lisa to develop a crush on him, until she finds out Milhouse is with another girl,<ref name="The Last of the Red Hat Mamas">"[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]"</ref> prompting her to chase Milhouse angrily with a broom.
Lisa once tried to bring Milhouse to a school dance in [[Springfield Elementary]] but finds out he was taken.<ref>"[[Lard of the Dance]]"</ref> When Milhouse's parents were reported lost at sea, and Milhouse became a loner, Lisa and several other girls became attracted to his new personality. One time, when Milhouse fell in love with a new girl named [[Taffy]], Lisa got them to break up, and Lisa kissed him for the first time, and at the same time, she said she isn't sure if she loves him.<ref>"[[Homer Scissorhands]]"</ref>

==== Colin ====
The relationship between Lisa and [[Colin]], an environmentalist immigrant from Ireland, makes Milhouse jealous.<ref>''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref>

==== Nick ====
Lisa briefly fell in love with a boy, Nick, when meeting him at a lunch she attended with her mom for Valentine's Day. They continued to meet up, but when they met for the last time, Lisa decided she didn't really want to be with him, and he admits he isn't good as he says, commonly lying to girls to gain their affection.<ref>"[[The Daughter Also Rises]]"</ref>

=== Family ===
Lisa's relationship with her father's labored. The two occasionally get into arguments,<ref name="Lisa the Vegetarian"/><ref>"[[Lisa's Substitute]]"</ref><ref>"[[Lisa's Pony]]"</ref> but they also have moments where they really connect.<ref name="Lisa's First Word"/><ref>"[[Make Room for Lisa]]"</ref><ref>"[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]"</ref> Their relationship is usually one where [[Homer]] ignores Lisa, and Lisa avoids Homer. Lisa seems to be on good terms with her mother,[[Marge]], and the two have a good relationship with each other. Lisa also gets along pretty well with her baby sister, Maggie.
Being siblings, Lisa and her brother [[Bart]] constantly get into brawls. Their major brawl was after Bart destroyed Lisa's centerpiece for a Thanksgiving Dinner.<ref>"[[Bart vs. Thanksgiving]]"</ref> The two once competed against each other in hockey and tried to win over Homer's love.<ref>"[[Lisa on Ice]]"</ref> However, the two teamed up together many times, and they genuinely love each other. This is shown when the two were placed in third grade in the same class (Lisa was moved up from second grade while Bart was moved down). The two got lost in a field trip in Capital City, forcing them to work together to survive.<ref>"[[Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade]]"</ref> When Milhouse temporarily left Springfield, Bart spent more time with Lisa, and the two developed a stronger bond.<ref>"[[Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]"</ref> When Milhouse returned, Bart tried to keep their new bond intact by promising to do her chores and giving her a hug. In one episode, Lisa almost told two college girls she thinks Bart's cute, but takes back the statement after remembering she's talking about her brother.

=== Future ===
[[File:President Lisa.png|thumb|150px|Lisa as president]]
At the age of 12, Lisa's saved from a house fire by [[Milhouse]], which she later discovers was caused by him. At age 16, she's graduating from [[Springfield High School]] two years early and is about to go to [[Yale University]] on a scholarship provided by Mr. Burns. She's dating Milhouse she dumps after prom. Bart nearly takes her Yale scholarship but he returns it when he realizes she's more deserving. He also prevents her from getting back together with Milhouse because he thinks it'll ruin her life.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>

A few years later, Lisa rejects Milhouse's offer to marry him saying she doesn't intend to ever get married. At age 23, Lisa's in college and falls in love with a British man named [[Hugh Parkfield]] she becomes engaged to. When she introduces Hugh to her family, they embarrass her, and he quickly grows to hate them. Hugh plans to take her back to [[England]] where Lisa will lose all of her contact with them; however, she dumps him since she'll rather have her family.<ref name="Lisa's Wedding"/>

At an unknown point in adulthood, Bart's in need of a digestive tract transplant, somehow related to the mystery of '[[Fish Logs]]'. She asks townspeople who tell her the 'Fish Log' story which took place when she was still 8. She finds out Fish Logs brought Bart into the hospital in the first place when he ate them on a binge.<ref>''[[The Rise and Fall of Bartholomew J. Simpson]]''</ref>

At age 38, Lisa becomes the first heterosexual female President of the United States. The country's broke and is forced to bring a tax hike, but things get worse when Bart interrupts everything. The leaders of the other countries are about to beat her until Bart saves her. To make it up to him, she legalizes the use of cannabis.<ref>"[[Bart to the Future]]"</ref> Sh'is also married to Milhouse and the two have a teenage daughter, [[Zia Simpson]].<ref>"[[Holidays of Future Passed]]"</ref>

In another future, Lisa and Nelson kept meeting up every five years and almost started dating each other. However, things happened between them that stopped that. Eventually, Lisa ended up in a relationship with [[Hubert Wong]], who ran a tech company. However, they ended up splitting up and Lisa met up with Nelson again. At [[Buzz Light Roast]], Hubert asked Lisa to take him back once more. When Nelson was asked to be [[Jimbo]]'s best man for his wedding to [[Sophie]], Lisa was a bridesmaid for Sophie. During the wedding, Nelson left and Lisa followed him, with the two deciding to finally get together.<ref>"[[When Nelson Met Lisa]]"</ref>

== Trivia ==
*Lisa is 4'2" tall.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets the Blues]]"</ref>
*According to Milhouse, Lisa's eyes are gray, but according to Spud Cooder in "[[Bart Carny]]", Lisa's eyes are blue. This may indicated Milhouse is color-blind, though this may just be an inconsistency.
*Although she's always desperate for a boy (saying she'll never have a love life), she never seems to remember she was in a relationship with [[Colin]] and several others.
*Her romantic relationship with Nelson Muntz is mentioned or referred to throughout the series, evident in "[[Lisa's Date with Density]]", "[[Love, Springfieldian Style]]", "[[Dial "N" for Nerder]]", "[[Simpsons Tall Tales]]", "[[Sleeping with the Enemy]]", "[[Wild Barts Can't Be Broken]]" and "[[Elementary School Musical]]".
*In Chief Wiggum's records on the Springfield Mafia, Lisa's listed as a "possible romantic link" to Fat Tony's son [[Michael D'Amico|Michael]], whom she was friends with in "[[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]".<ref>"[[Chief Wiggum's Book of Crime and Punishment]]"</ref>
*She speaks Italian, due to the help of Milhouse Van Houten.<ref name="The Last of the Red Hat Mamas"/>
*She has an IQ of 159.<ref name="Homer's Enemy"/>
*In "[[To Surveil with Love]]", she dyed her hair brown to prove the judges were biased against blondes.
*Her email's revealed in "[[The President Wore Pearls]]" as ''smartgirl63@yahoo.com''.
*Not many realized Lisa's still wearing her braces, it can't be seen since it was created almost invisible by Calvin Klein.
*Early on, before she became a vegetarian, fried shrimp was indicated as her favorite food.<ref>http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/7G10.html</ref><ref>http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/7F04.html</ref>
*She, along with her sister [[Maggie]], are obsessed with ''[[The Happy Little Elves]]'' television show, much to [[Bart]]'s dismay and disapproval. She usually responds to his thoughts by saying he's just like [[Gloomy]] and [[Chilly]].
*Lisa was not seen nor mentioned in the episode "[[Carl Carlson Rides Again]]". Lisa, along with Bart in "[[Four Great Women and a Manicure]]", and Maggie in several episodes, are the only of the main characters to not be seen nor mentioned in an episode.
**Additionally, Lisa has not recorded lines in the episodes "[[Chief of Hearts]]" and "[[Moho House]]".

== Behind the Laughter ==
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame10.png|thumb|The first appearances of Marge and Lisa Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction.<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family, and Lisa is the name of one of his sisters.<ref name="americasfirstfamily"/> Lisa then made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the Tracey Ullman short "[[Good Night]]".<ref>Richmond, Ray; Antonia Coffman (1997). The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to our Favorite Family. Harper Collins Publishers, pg. 14. ISBN 0-00-638898-1</ref> [[Nancy Cartwright]], originally auditioned for the role of Lisa, but was soon told that her voice would be better suited voicing Bart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1017238.stm|title=Bart's voice tells all|accessdate=2007-05-16|date=2000-11-10|publisher=BBC News}}</ref> Yeardley Smith had initially been asked to audition for the role of Bart but casting director [[Bonita Pietila]] believed her voice was too high, so Smith was given the role of Lisa instead. In order to perform the voice, Smith lifts her voice up a little.<ref>{{cite news |title=She who laughs last|date=[[2007-12-08]]|accessdate=2008-02-09|page=8E|publisher=The Daily Telegraph|author=Charles Miranda}}</ref>

=== Development ===
In the Tracey Ullman Show shorts, Lisa was more of a "female Bart" and was as equally mischievous as her brother.<ref>{{cite video | people=Mirkin, David|year=2004|title=The Simpsons season 5 DVD commentary for the episode "Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> As the series progressed, Lisa began to develop into a more intelligent and more emotional character with "[[Krusty Gets Busted]]" being one of the first episodes where her true intelligence is fully shown.<ref name="Reiss">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Krusty Gets Busted"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Many episodes focusing on Lisa have an emotional nature, the first one being "[[Moaning Lisa]]". The idea for the episode was pitched by [[James L. Brooks]], who had wanted to do an emotional episode where Lisa is sad because the show had done a lot of "jokey episodes".<ref name="Reiss1">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Moaning Lisa"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

For a long time, Lisa's saxophone solos were provided by jazz baritone saxophonist Terry Harrington.

=== Cultural influence ===
In 2001 Lisa received a special "Board of Directors Ongoing Commitment Award" at the Environmental Media Awards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/spotlight/2001-11-15-simpsons.htm|title= Lisa Simpson animates environmental awards|author=W. Reed Moran|date=2001-11-15|accessdate=2007-10-17|publisher=USA Today}}</ref> "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]", an episode from the seventh season, won both an Environmental Media Award for "Best Television Episodic Comedy"<ref name="EMAIMDB">{{cite news|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/awards|title=Awards for "The Simpsons"|accessdate=2007-10-17|publisher=Internet Movie Database}}</ref> and a Genesis Award for "Best Television Comedy Series, Ongoing Commitment".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hsus.org/about_us/offices_and_affiliates/hsus_hollywood_office/the_genesis_awards/genesis_award_winners_and_memorable_moments/1995_genesis_awards.html|title=1995 Genesis Awards|accessdate=2007-10-21|publisher=hsus.org}}</ref> Lisa was also listed at number 11 in ''TV Guide's'' "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time."<ref>[http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/30/cartoon.characters.list/ CNN - TV Guide's 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters]</ref> In Japan, the broadcasters of the series found they were able to turn the apparent viewer dislike of the series around by focusing marketing attention on Lisa. Lisa's well-intended but ill-fated struggles to be a voice of reason and a force of good in her family and city struck a chord with the Japanese.

'''Homer Jay Simpson''', briefly legally changed his name to '''Max Power''',<ref name="Homer to the Max"/> is the father of the Simpson family. He is overweight, lazy, and ignorant, but also strongly devoted to his wife and children. He works as a low level safety inspector at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]], in [[Sector 7G]], although he's often incompetent, mostly sleeps on duty and eats the donuts provided. He spends a great deal of his time at [[Moe's Tavern]] with his lifelong friends [[Barney]], [[Carl]], [[Lenny]], and bartender [[Moe Szyslak]]. At [[742 Evergreen Terrace|home]] he can often be found sitting on the sofa mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking [[Duff Beer|Duff]] beer.

==== 1950s ====
Homer Jay Simpson was born as the third<ref>"[[The Regina Monologues]]"</ref><ref>"[[Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?]]"</ref> child of [[Abraham Simpson]], and the first (and only) child of [[Mona Simpson]] on May 12, 1956.<ref>"[[Duffless]]"</ref> He was raised on [[Old Simpson Farm|a dairy farm]] until the bank foreclosed on the farm and were forced to move out due to Homer spooking the cows by jumping out of a bale of hay and scaring them into giving sour milk. At some point during his childhood, Abe seemed to feed beer to Homer, but he quit drinking beer until he was older upon Barney's suggestion after he caused a multi-car pileup in his playschool car at school.

==== 1960s ====
In 1960, Homer experimented to see if he can push fifteen crayons into his nose, which resulted in one being lodged into his brain and being responsible for his current below-average intelligence. In the early 1960s, when Homer was between nine and twelve years of age, Mona went into hiding following a run-in with the law. However, before she started protesting, she took Homer and her husband to the Woodstock Music Festival, where Homer ended up briefly adopting the hippie lifestyle (and Abe Simpson attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War as punishment for wanting to be a hippie). In 1966, Homer, along with Lenny, Carl, and Moe, went over to a deep gorge for a nice swim, but the water was drained. When investigating why the lake was reduced to a muddy pit, he stumbled upon [[Waylon Smithers, Sr.|a decomposing corpse]] inside the pipe, greatly traumatizing him and leading to his occasional overeating and fear of corpses.

==== 1970s ====
Homer attended [[Springfield High School]] and fell in love with [[Marge Bouvier]] in 1974.<ref name="The Way We Was">"[[The Way We Was]]"</ref> After high school, Homer and Marge bought an apartment at Springfield Place. During this time, Marge received a letter accepting her into college. To pay for her tuition, Abe gave him a job at Simpson Lazer Tag. Along with [[Lou]], Lenny, and Carl, Homer was also part of a barbershop quartet. When Marge became infatuated with her professor, Homer changed the band's name to [[Sadgasm]], and they invented grunge music. Marge realized she really loves Homer, and she went back to him.<ref name="T90S">"[[That '90s Show]]"</ref>

==== 1980s ====
In 1979, Marge became pregnant with [[Bart]]. (After discovering this, Homer tore out half his hair.) At this time, Homer was working at [[Sir Putts-A-Lot]], turning the crank spinning the windmill. The two married in [[Shotgun Pete's 24 Hour Wedding Chapel]], a small wedding chapel across the state line. They spent their wedding reception alone at a truck stop, before ending up at the Bouvier House, where they lived at the time. After failing to get a job at the newly built [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Nuclear Power Plant]], Homer left Marge to find a job where he can support his family. He went to work at a taco restaurant called the [[Gulp 'n' Blow]], until Marge found him and convinced him to return home with her. As a result, Homer confronted [[Mr. Burns]] and secured a job at the Plant.<ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref> Two years after Bart was born, Marge became pregnant with [[Lisa]] in 1981 (after discovering this, Homer tore out all but three strands of his hair), shortly before the couple brought their [[742 Evergreen Terrace|first house]].<ref>"[[Lisa's First Word]]"</ref>

Homer's second leap to stardom was his success as the lead singer and songwriter for the barbershop quartet, the [[Be-Sharps]], even winning a [[Outstanding Soul, Spoken Word, or Barbershop Album of the Year|Grammy Award]]. (He later complains a Grammy isn't worth winning.) During his time with the group, Homer was frequently absent from home, which put stress on his marriage. After the group broke up due to creative differences, Homer went back to [[Springfield]] to continue his old life.<ref name="HBQ">"[[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]"</ref> Some time in the late 1980s, Homer drew up a budget so he can work at his dream job, a pin monkey at [[Barney's Bowlarama]]. The budget included buying regular toilet paper and only one of the kids can go to college. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge became pregnant with [[Maggie]] in 1988, shortly after he started his new job, and, not being able to support his family, he went back to the Nuclear Plant.<ref>"[[And Maggie Makes Three]]"</ref> Since then Homer started many [[List of Homer's Jobs|jobs]], including being a professional astronaut for NASA, but ended up back where he began at the Nuclear Plant. He nearly caused the destruction of [[Springfield]] a couple of times, after a nuclear meltdown at the plant and polluting Lake Springfield with his pet [[Plopper|pig]]'s (and his own) waste.<ref name="The Simpsons Movie">''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref>

=== Jobs ===
{{main|List of Homer's jobs}}
When first joining the Power Plant, Homer had a nameless job handling plutonium. He was fired by [[Barry Mackleberry]], his supervisor, for creating a deadly gas leak. He was later re-hired as safety inspector for Sector 7-G, after complaining about the safety of the plant itself. Ironically, the accidents occurring at the plant double every year since Homer was made safety inspector. Homer impulsively quits occasionally to pursue other careers, although he always ends up losing or quitting these jobs. On one occasion, Homer misinterpreted a threat about losing his job as a hint he can take the next day off.

=== Appearance ===
Homer's appearance is an overweight balding man. He has a tan stubble that can regrow itself at a very quick rate if he ever shaves. Despite his overweight status, and hate for exercise, he, on occasion, shows surprising physical prowess and agility for a man of his stature, like when training for {{ap|Whacking Day|holiday}}, he hit several pop-up Snakes with kicks and even back flipping. His baldness is contributed by several factors. Upon finding out Marge was pregnant, he tore out a substantial amount of his hair. Another contribution he is working at the nuclear plant so long, the exposure to radioactivity caused most of his hair to fall out. In one episode, he learned if he repented for all of his sins and became Catholic, he can go to Heaven when he dies. During his confession, he states he masturbated eight billion times, he doesn't plan to stop, and he doesn't regret it. Excessive masturbation can lead to hair loss as well. He wears a white polo shirt, blue pants, and grey shoes.

=== Personality ===
[[File:bartyytt.jpg|thumb|150px|Homer strangling Bart.]]
[[File:Homer brain.jpg|thumb|150px|An x-ray of Homer's true brain.]]
Homer suffers from a short attention span complementing his intense but short-lived passion for hobbies, enterprises and various causes. Homer's prone to emotional outbursts; he gets very envious of his neighbors, the [[Flanders family]], is easily enraged at his son, [[Bart]], and strangles him in an exaggerated manner. His trademark phrase to strangling Bart is, "Why you little...!" and on one occasion, "Why you little bastard!".<ref name="Wedding for Disaster">"[[Wedding for Disaster]]"</ref> He also spanks Bart sometimes and, in one case, Lisa, but never Maggie.

One time, he was too busy to spank them, so he told them to go to their rooms and spank themselves. He shows no compunction about this, and does not attempt to hide his actions from people outside the family, even showing disregard for his son's well being in other ways, like leaving Bart alone at a port,<ref>"[[The Great Money Caper]]"</ref> or allowing Bart to go to court for skateboarding naked on his dare when all he will have to do is attend a 1 hour parenting class signifying not only his disregard for Bart but his extreme laziness.<ref name="The Simpsons Movie"/> Homer's explosive anger is mostly targeted on Bart. Despite their disadvantages, these common outbursts have likely saved Homer from dying of a pent-up rage-induced heart attack.<ref>"[[I Am Furious (Yellow)]]"</ref>

Although often selfish he is capable of self-sacrifice, i.e. selling his cherished ride on the [[Duff Blimp]] and using the money to enter Lisa in a beauty pageant so she can feel better about herself;<ref name="Lisa the Beauty Queen">"[[Lisa the Beauty Queen]]"</ref> giving up his chance at wealth to allow Maggie to keep a cherished teddy bear;<ref>"[[Rosebud]]"</ref> spearheading an attempt to dig Bart out after he fell down a well, although he hates doing physical labor;<ref>"[[Radio Bart]]"</ref> and arranging a surprise second wedding with Marge to make up for their [[I Married Marge|lousy first]] ceremony, even going so far as to hire one of The Doobie Brothers as part of the wedding band and getting a divorce from Marge, essentially making their second wedding a "real" one.<ref name="A Milhouse Divided">"[[A Milhouse Divided]]"</ref>

Homer tends to derive amusement from the misfortune of others. He is also a chronic petty thief and borderline kleptomaniac, stealing everything from TV trays to power tools and air conditioners, even an entire room of the [[Flanders House]] from [[Ned Flanders]]. He stole golf balls from the local driving range, office supplies (including computers) from work, and beer mugs from [[Moe's Tavern]].
[[File:Homerdonut.jpg|150px|left|thumb|nail|Homer holding a donut.]]
Homer has a vacuous mind, but he's still able to retain a great amount of knowledge about very specific subjects. He often shows short bursts of astonishing insight, memory, creativity and fluency with many languages. He is also extremely confident; no matter how little skill or knowledge he has about anything he tries to do, he has no doubt he'll be successful. However, his brief periods of intelligence are overshadowed by much longer and more consistent periods of ignorance, forgetfulness and stupidity. Homer has a low IQ due to many factors: his hereditary [[Simpson gene|"Simpson Gene"]], his alcohol problem, exposure to radioactive waste, repetitive cranial trauma, and the crayon lodged in the frontal lobe of his brain. He also implied he will have been at least a bit smarter, if not by a substantial amount, if his father tried to give him encouragement rather than beat him down.<ref>"[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]"</ref>

The crayon in his brain's possibly the largest causal factor in his stupidity. Homer's intelligence was said to jump up fifty points when he had the crayon removed, bringing him to an IQ of 105, slightly above an average person (though he showed far above average intelligence), but he went back to his old self when he had it reinserted, presumably lowering his IQ back down to its original 55.<ref>"[[HOMЯ]]"</ref> This IQ score's, however, likely a joke or oversight on the producers' part, because someone with an IQ of 55 will be unable to look after themselves and will be classified as severely mentally handicapped. Also, from the level of intelligence he showed, it's much more likely his IQ was boasted to 135-155. Despite his handicap, Homer does have a degree of long term, calculated planning of what may happen, like when, shortly before taking his "forget-me-shot" from Moe Syzslak, requested for their anniversary party to have a Moon Jump due to realizing exactly what will happen afterwards.<ref name="Eternal Moonshine">"[[Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind]]"</ref>

Homer, at times, debates against his own brain. Occasionally, a specific body part, like the face, stomach or liver, is also shown debating with his brain. In [[Burns, Baby Burns|one notable scene]] Homer's mind actually leaves his body out of boredom, causing him to collapse. Homer's also inclined to retreat into fantasy, like daydreaming of Germany as [[The Land of Chocolate|"the land of chocolate"]].<ref>"[[Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk]]"</ref><ref>''[[The Simpsons Game]]''</ref> His attitudes toward women, romance, and sex are occasionally shown. While Homer's marriage with Marge is occasionally strained, it seems generally happy. Despite this, Homer's often tempted with other women, and usually shows no qualms with gawking at (and drooling over) attractive women. Homer almost had an affair with [[Mindy Simmons]],<ref name="The Last Temptation of Homer">"[[The Last Temptation of Homer]]"</ref> but ended up not wanting to. He made the occasional remark denoting his attraction to other women (including beautiful next-door neighbor [[Maude Flanders]], whom he later accidentally kills in a freak accident), even in front of Marge on occasion, despite his wife's neurotic insecurity, but always shows his devotion to Marge in the end.

=== Religious beliefs ===
Homer doesn't attend church every Sunday and when he does go it is only for Marge's sake. He frequently sleeps in church, much to the annoyance of [[Reverend Lovejoy]] and called [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] "Jebus". He actually met [[God]] face to face several times and even got permission from him in a dream to skip church. (God is a lot less uptight than Marge or Rev. Lovejoy.)<ref>"[[Homer the Heretic]]"</ref><ref>"[[Thank God It's Doomsday]]"</ref>

=== Alter egos ===
Homer became a superhero named [[Pieman]] when The Rich Texan made Lisa cry. He chucks pies in the faces of evildoers or people who deserve to be pied, uses the basement as a Pie Cave and his car as the Piemobile. Bart later acted as his sidekick named [[Cupcake Kid]].<ref>"[[Simple Simpson]]"</ref> He also attempted to don a graffiti alias as "El Homo", meant to be a Mexican take on his name, but erased it when he realized it was one of the words in Spanish for homosexual.<ref>"[[Large Marge]]"</ref>[[File:Simple Simpson promo.png|thumb|Homer and Bart as Pieman and Cupcake Kid.]]

When Homer went to prison for bribing an official, an {{ap|FBI agent|Donnie Fatso}} offered Homer a way out by infiltrating into the [[Springfield Mafia]] to spy on [[Fat Tony]]. Homer was given a toupee, a [[Gadget wig|wig]] with a microphone and a camera and a new name, [[Nicky Bluepants Altosaxophony]].<ref>"[[Donnie Fatso]]"</ref>

=== Skills ===
Homer was part of several bands. He won a Grammy for barbershop,<ref name="HBQ"/> numerous golden records for [[Sadgasm|his grunge band]],<ref name="T90S"/> and was able to help Lisa win a music contest using songs he wrote for her.{{cn}} He also once sat in with the [[Spuckler Family Band]], making armpit noises.<ref>''[[Homer Simpson's Little Book of Laziness]]''</ref>

He can also pick up foreign languages fairly quickly when it is in his interest. When he and Bart were imprisoned in [[Japan]] for a seemingly short amount of time, he was able to speak the language fluently by the time he left.{{cn}}

=== Health ===
While varying in physical ability from episode to episode, Homer is consistently portrayed as a binge drinking, over eating, accident prone dare devil who puts absolutely no thought into what his actions'll cost him, all of which made it impossible to get any form of insurance concerning his health. Homer's in the hospital in at least one episode every season, and had several life saving operations not including the one for his triple heart bypass and subsequent installation of his pacemaker he needed after his arteries were clogged with cholesterol. Years of working in a sub standard nuclear facility left his blood irradiated enough to show up on an x-ray, as well as having rendered him sterile.

Homer loves food. He can almost always be seen eating far more than any one man can possibly eat alone. His favorites are foods he knows are bad for him, and will blatantly refuse healthy food like oatmeal and fruit in favor of fatty meals. He was once willing to die upon eating a poisoned éclair despite knowing it will kill him, only to throw it away in horror when Lisa claimed it was low fat.<ref>"[[Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?]]"</ref> He also seems to have trouble with his hearing because he attended too many rock concerts.<ref name="The Otto Show">"[[The Otto Show]]"</ref> His lack of hearing may be the reason he didn't pay attention at any words anyone said. Both Bart and Homer have problem with concentration.<ref name="Bart Gets an F">"[[Bart Gets an "F"]]"</ref>

==== Hair loss ====
There are multiple theories how Homer lost his hair. One theory suggests Homer ripped out some of his hair when he realized Marge was pregnant with Bart, then more when he found out she was pregnant with Lisa, and all but the last few hairs when he found out she was pregnant with Maggie.{{Fact}} It was once shown that Homer gradually lost his hair over time.<ref name="Eternal Moonshine"/>

== Relationships ==
=== Romantic ===
Despite being married to Marge, throughout the entire show, Homer had a number of romantic encounters.

==== Marge Simpson ====
Homer is the husband of Marge Simpson. They met when they were younger without learning who each other was before meeting again properly in high school. They had three weddings.<ref name="Wedding for Disaster"/><ref name="A Milhouse Divided"/><ref>Before the show</ref> The two have a very strong marriage which survived cheating, amnesia and many arguments. They have been in love since high school.<ref name="The Way We Was"/>

==== Mindy Simmons ====
[[Mindy Simmons]] was an attractive employee at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] who has nearly everything in common with Homer. They attended a convention together and nearly had an affair.<ref name="The Last Temptation of Homer"/> After Homer turned her down, he later says she "hit the bottle pretty hard and got fired."

==== Lurleen Lumpkin ====
[[Lurleen Lumpkin]] is a waitress Homer helped in launching a successful singing career. She attempted to seduce him with no success.<ref name="Colonel Homer">"[[Colonel Homer]]"</ref> She's been married multiple times to men who all look like Homer.<ref name="Colonel Homer"/>

==== Amber ====
[[Amber Simpson|Amber]] was the Las Vegas wife whom Homer inadvertently married in "[[Viva Ned Flanders]]".<ref>"[[Viva Ned Flanders]]"</ref> They managed to get her drunk and made her believe she married Abe which made her run back to Vegas.<ref>"[[Brawl in the Family]]"</ref>

==== Julia ====
When Homer becomes a famous opera singer, he attracts the attention of a horde of fans including a stalker by the name of {{ap|Julia|The Homer of Seville}}. She confesses to Homer she is his to do with as he wants, becoming his personal assistant and attempting to seduce him at every turn. When he proclaims his heart belongs to Marge, she attempts to kill him with no success.<ref>"[[The Homer of Seville]]"</ref>

==== Edna ====
Homer was one of many individuals to have a relationship with [[Edna Krabappel]].<ref>"[[The Ned-liest Catch]]"</ref>

=== Friendships ===
==== Barney Gumble ====
[[Barney Gumble]] is one of Homer's best friends. They were both born in 1951 making Homer the same age as Barney. They have been best friends since at elementary school.<ref>"[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]"</ref><ref>"[[Li'l Homer 1]]"</ref> Homer was the one who convinced him to become an alcoholic.<ref>"[[Mr. Plow]]"</ref>

==== Lenny and Carl ====
[[Lenny]] and [[Carl]] are Homer's co-workers at the Nuclear Power Plant; they were all childhood friends through adulthood.<ref>"[[The Blunder Years]]"</ref><ref>"[[The Way We Weren't]]"</ref>

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
=== Future ===
Eight (8) years in the future, Homer and Marge's relationship finally ended, after Homer blew the family savings on an underwater house. She started dating [[Krusty the Clown]], and eventually Homer fought him to win her back. Homer was beaten, but Marge still decided to go back to him.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>

== Behind the Laughter ==
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame2.png|thumb|The first appearances of Homer and Bart Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and intended to present his [[Life in Hell]] series. When he realized animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family and named the characters after members of his own family, with Homer being named after his father. Homer made his debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on April 19, 1987 in [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]". Homer's middle initial "J", revealed to stand for "Jay",<ref>"[[D'oh-in' in the Wind]]"</ref> was a "tribute" to Bullwinkle J. Moose from ''{{W|The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show}}'', a show Matt Groening loved as a child.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/interviews/groening/page9.shtml|title=J is for Jay|accessdate=2007-06-12|publisher=BBC}}</ref>

According to Matt Groening, the whole family was designed so they would be recognizable in silhouette.<ref>{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt; Al Jean, Mike Reiss|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref><ref>{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt; James L. Brooks, David Silverman|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

=== Voice ===
Homer's voice sounds different on the shorts than the later half-hour show. [[Dan Castellaneta|Dan Castellaneta's]] earliest portrayal began as a loose impression of [[Walter Matthau]], but developed into a more robust and humorous voice during the second and third season of the half-hour show, allowing Homer to convey a wider range of emotions.<ref name="matthau">{{cite news|author=Brownfield, Paul|title=He's Homer, but This Odyssey Is His Own|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=1999-07-06}}</ref> Castellaneta changed the voice, as he could not sustain his Matthau impression for the 9-10 hour long recording sessions and had to find something easier.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1565538/20070725/story.jhtml|title='Simpsons' Trivia, From Swearing Lisa To 'Burns-Sexual' Smithers|accessdate=2007-07-29|date=2007-07-26|author=Larry Carroll|publisher=MTV}}</ref> During an interview with the cast of the show on ''Inside the Actors Studio'', Castellaneta stated Homer's voice was based in part on his own father who often spoke with an exuberant tone.

=== Foreign dubs ===
Homer's name is rarely translated, though exceptions occur. In the Arabic version Homer becomes Omar, and it was heavily modified, with alcohol and pork being removed. The Latin American version translates Homer to Homero.

=== Catchphrase ===
{{main|D'oh!}}
Homer popularized the annoyed grunt "[[D'oh!]]" (made memorable through Dan Castellaneta's distinctive voice work), which began as an abbreviated form of {{W|Jimmy Finlayson}} annoyed "Dooooh" in {{W|Laurel and Hardy}} and other comedy shorts. This modern interjection found enough popular acceptance to be included in the {{W|Oxford English Dictionary}}.

He also popularized the catchphrase "[[Mmm...]]". Many examples of other "mmm...s" are "Mmm...candy", "Mmm...pointy" or "Mmm...hug". He used it less lately.

Homer has other catchphrases. His other catchphrases are ''[[Woo Hoo!]]'' and ''[[Why you little!]]''.

=== Reception ===
[[File:D'oh.jpg|thumb|150px|Homer uttering the legendary word "D'oh".]]
On May 30, 2003, Homer was made an honorary citizen of {{W|Winnipeg}}, Canada, in recognition of [[Matt Groening]]'s father Homer Groening, believed to be from the Manitoba capital.<ref>Romaniuk, Ross. "[http://ccr.ptbcanadian.com/simpsons/articles.htm Is Homer Simpson Canadian?]". ''Winnipeg Sun''. May 30, 2003.</ref>

Homer placed second on {{W|TV Guide}}'s 2002 Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters, behind {{W| Bugs Bunny}}.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/30/cartoon.characters.list/|title=TV Guide's 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time|accessdate=2007-08-25|date=2002-07-30|publisher=CNN}}</ref> In 2005, Homer was listed fifth on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters, one of only four cartoon characters on that list.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bravotv.com/The_100_Greatest_TV_Characters//index.shtml|title=The 100 Greatest TV Characters|publisher=Bravo|accessdate=2007-08-25}}</ref> British TV viewers voted him as the greatest TV character of all time.<ref>[http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/tv_characters/results.html 100 Greatest TV characters]</ref> In 2007, ''Entertainment Weekly'' placed Homer ninth on their list of the "50 Greatest TV icons".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20152957_20152958_20159773_41,00.html|title=The 50 Greatest TV Icons|accessdate=2007-11-15|publisher=Entertainment Weekly |date=Unknown}}</ref>

''The Simpsons'' has been recommended for use in the teaching of sociology to modern-day college students. The journal ''Teaching Sociology'' appraised it as "particularly effective for illustrating sociological themes and encouraging critical thinking among today's undergraduates".<ref>Scanlan, Stephen J. and Seth L. Feinberg. "[http://www.lemoyne.edu/ts/28tsabstracts2.html The Cartoon Society: Using"The Simpsons" to Teach and Learn Sociology]." ''Teaching Sociology'' Volume 28, #2. p. 127-139. April 2002.</ref> The non-academic book ''[[The Simpsons and Philosophy, the D'oh! of Homer]]'' includes a chapter analyzing Homer's character from the perspective of Aristotelian virtue ethics.

Homer was ranked the second greatest cartoon character by TV Guide, behind Bugs Bunny, and was voted the greatest television character of all time by Channel 4 viewers. For voicing Homer, Castellaneta won four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance and a special-achievement Annie Award. In 2000, Homer and his family were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

==== Homer Simpson syndrome ====
[[File:Homer Simpson's head.png|200px|thumb|Homer Simpson on ''[[Futurama]]'']]
A five-year study of more than 2,000 middle-aged people in France found a possible link between weight and brain function, dubbed the "Homer Simpson syndrome".<ref name=hss>{{cite news| title = Obese people lose IQ through 'Homer Simpson effect'| publisher =Thisislondon | date =2006-10-15| url =http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23370854-details/Obese%20people%20lose%20IQ%20through%20'Homer%20Simpson%20effect'/article.do| accessdate =2007-08-15}}</ref> Results from a word memory test showed people with a BMI of 20 (considered to be a healthy level) remembered an average of nine out of 16 words. Meanwhile, people with a BMI of 30 (inside the obese range) remembered an average of just seven out of 16 words.<ref name=hss/>

=== Merchandising ===
[[File:Golden Homer.jpg|thumb|A golden figurine of Homer from Burger King in 2007.]]
Homer's inclusion in many Simpsons publications, toys, and other merchandise is evidence of his enduring popularity. He played central roles in the ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'' series. ''[[The Homer Book]]'', written about Homer's personality and attributes, has been published and is commercially available. Numerous other items such as bottle openers, alarm clocks and other merchandise are widely available for purchase.

== Trivia ==
*Homer weighs 240,<ref name="MythBusters">[[MythBusters|''The Simpsons MythBusters'' special]]</ref> 1,092,<ref>"[[Grampy Can Ya Hear Me]]"</ref> or 239<ref name="Lisa Gets the Blues">"[[Lisa Gets the Blues]]"</ref> pounds.

*His blood type is B positive.
*His earmuff size is XL.
*His shoe size is 11 1/2.<ref name="MythBusters"/>
*He often writes fist-like.
*His Instagram account is "@homersimpson_official".
*Homer's PIN is 7431, according to "[[The Girl Who Slept Too Little]]".

'''Homer Jay Simpson''', briefly legally changed his name to '''Max Power''',<ref name="Homer to the Max"/> is the father of the Simpson family. He is overweight, lazy, and ignorant, but also strongly devoted to his wife and children. He works as a low level safety inspector at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]], in [[Sector 7G]], although he's often incompetent, mostly sleeps on duty and eats the donuts provided. He spends a great deal of his time at [[Moe's Tavern]] with his lifelong friends [[Barney]], [[Carl]], [[Lenny]], and bartender [[Moe Szyslak]]. At [[742 Evergreen Terrace|home]] he can often be found sitting on the sofa mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking [[Duff Beer|Duff]] beer.

==== 1950s ====
Homer Jay Simpson was born as the third<ref>"[[The Regina Monologues]]"</ref><ref>"[[Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?]]"</ref> child of [[Abraham Simpson]], and the first (and only) child of [[Mona Simpson]] on May 12, 1956.<ref>"[[Duffless]]"</ref> He was raised on [[Old Simpson Farm|a dairy farm]] until the bank foreclosed on the farm and were forced to move out due to Homer spooking the cows by jumping out of a bale of hay and scaring them into giving sour milk. At some point during his childhood, Abe seemed to feed beer to Homer, but he quit drinking beer until he was older upon Barney's suggestion after he caused a multi-car pileup in his playschool car at school.

==== 1960s ====
In 1960, Homer experimented to see if he can push fifteen crayons into his nose, which resulted in one being lodged into his brain and being responsible for his current below-average intelligence. In the early 1960s, when Homer was between nine and twelve years of age, Mona went into hiding following a run-in with the law. However, before she started protesting, she took Homer and her husband to the Woodstock Music Festival, where Homer ended up briefly adopting the hippie lifestyle (and Abe Simpson attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War as punishment for wanting to be a hippie). In 1966, Homer, along with Lenny, Carl, and Moe, went over to a deep gorge for a nice swim, but the water was drained. When investigating why the lake was reduced to a muddy pit, he stumbled upon [[Waylon Smithers, Sr.|a decomposing corpse]] inside the pipe, greatly traumatizing him and leading to his occasional overeating and fear of corpses.

==== 1970s ====
Homer attended [[Springfield High School]] and fell in love with [[Marge Bouvier]] in 1974.<ref name="The Way We Was">"[[The Way We Was]]"</ref> After high school, Homer and Marge bought an apartment at Springfield Place. During this time, Marge received a letter accepting her into college. To pay for her tuition, Abe gave him a job at Simpson Lazer Tag. Along with [[Lou]], Lenny, and Carl, Homer was also part of a barbershop quartet. When Marge became infatuated with her professor, Homer changed the band's name to [[Sadgasm]], and they invented grunge music. Marge realized she really loves Homer, and she went back to him.<ref name="T90S">"[[That '90s Show]]"</ref>

==== 1980s ====
In 1979, Marge became pregnant with [[Bart]]. (After discovering this, Homer tore out half his hair.) At this time, Homer was working at [[Sir Putts-A-Lot]], turning the crank spinning the windmill. The two married in [[Shotgun Pete's 24 Hour Wedding Chapel]], a small wedding chapel across the state line. They spent their wedding reception alone at a truck stop, before ending up at the Bouvier House, where they lived at the time. After failing to get a job at the newly built [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Nuclear Power Plant]], Homer left Marge to find a job where he can support his family. He went to work at a taco restaurant called the [[Gulp 'n' Blow]], until Marge found him and convinced him to return home with her. As a result, Homer confronted [[Mr. Burns]] and secured a job at the Plant.<ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref> Two years after Bart was born, Marge became pregnant with [[Lisa]] in 1981 (after discovering this, Homer tore out all but three strands of his hair), shortly before the couple brought their [[742 Evergreen Terrace|first house]].<ref>"[[Lisa's First Word]]"</ref>

Homer's second leap to stardom was his success as the lead singer and songwriter for the barbershop quartet, the [[Be-Sharps]], even winning a [[Outstanding Soul, Spoken Word, or Barbershop Album of the Year|Grammy Award]]. (He later complains a Grammy isn't worth winning.) During his time with the group, Homer was frequently absent from home, which put stress on his marriage. After the group broke up due to creative differences, Homer went back to [[Springfield]] to continue his old life.<ref name="HBQ">"[[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]"</ref> Some time in the late 1980s, Homer drew up a budget so he can work at his dream job, a pin monkey at [[Barney's Bowlarama]]. The budget included buying regular toilet paper and only one of the kids can go to college. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge became pregnant with [[Maggie]] in 1988, shortly after he started his new job, and, not being able to support his family, he went back to the Nuclear Plant.<ref>"[[And Maggie Makes Three]]"</ref> Since then Homer started many [[List of Homer's Jobs|jobs]], including being a professional astronaut for NASA, but ended up back where he began at the Nuclear Plant. He nearly caused the destruction of [[Springfield]] a couple of times, after a nuclear meltdown at the plant and polluting Lake Springfield with his pet [[Plopper|pig]]'s (and his own) waste.<ref name="The Simpsons Movie">''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref>

=== Jobs ===
{{main|List of Homer's jobs}}
When first joining the Power Plant, Homer had a nameless job handling plutonium. He was fired by [[Barry Mackleberry]], his supervisor, for creating a deadly gas leak. He was later re-hired as safety inspector for Sector 7-G, after complaining about the safety of the plant itself. Ironically, the accidents occurring at the plant double every year since Homer was made safety inspector. Homer impulsively quits occasionally to pursue other careers, although he always ends up losing or quitting these jobs. On one occasion, Homer misinterpreted a threat about losing his job as a hint he can take the next day off.

=== Appearance ===
Homer's appearance is an overweight balding man. He has a tan stubble that can regrow itself at a very quick rate if he ever shaves. Despite his overweight status, and hate for exercise, he, on occasion, shows surprising physical prowess and agility for a man of his stature, like when training for {{ap|Whacking Day|holiday}}, he hit several pop-up Snakes with kicks and even back flipping. His baldness is contributed by several factors. Upon finding out Marge was pregnant, he tore out a substantial amount of his hair. Another contribution he is working at the nuclear plant so long, the exposure to radioactivity caused most of his hair to fall out. In one episode, he learned if he repented for all of his sins and became Catholic, he can go to Heaven when he dies. During his confession, he states he masturbated eight billion times, he doesn't plan to stop, and he doesn't regret it. Excessive masturbation can lead to hair loss as well. He wears a white polo shirt, blue pants, and grey shoes.

=== Personality ===
[[File:bartyytt.jpg|thumb|150px|Homer strangling Bart.]]
[[File:Homer brain.jpg|thumb|150px|An x-ray of Homer's true brain.]]
Homer suffers from a short attention span complementing his intense but short-lived passion for hobbies, enterprises and various causes. Homer's prone to emotional outbursts; he gets very envious of his neighbors, the [[Flanders family]], is easily enraged at his son, [[Bart]], and strangles him in an exaggerated manner. His trademark phrase to strangling Bart is, "Why you little...!" and on one occasion, "Why you little bastard!".<ref name="Wedding for Disaster">"[[Wedding for Disaster]]"</ref> He also spanks Bart sometimes and, in one case, Lisa, but never Maggie.

One time, he was too busy to spank them, so he told them to go to their rooms and spank themselves. He shows no compunction about this, and does not attempt to hide his actions from people outside the family, even showing disregard for his son's well being in other ways, like leaving Bart alone at a port,<ref>"[[The Great Money Caper]]"</ref> or allowing Bart to go to court for skateboarding naked on his dare when all he will have to do is attend a 1 hour parenting class signifying not only his disregard for Bart but his extreme laziness.<ref name="The Simpsons Movie"/> Homer's explosive anger is mostly targeted on Bart. Despite their disadvantages, these common outbursts have likely saved Homer from dying of a pent-up rage-induced heart attack.<ref>"[[I Am Furious (Yellow)]]"</ref>

Although often selfish he is capable of self-sacrifice, i.e. selling his cherished ride on the [[Duff Blimp]] and using the money to enter Lisa in a beauty pageant so she can feel better about herself;<ref name="Lisa the Beauty Queen">"[[Lisa the Beauty Queen]]"</ref> giving up his chance at wealth to allow Maggie to keep a cherished teddy bear;<ref>"[[Rosebud]]"</ref> spearheading an attempt to dig Bart out after he fell down a well, although he hates doing physical labor;<ref>"[[Radio Bart]]"</ref> and arranging a surprise second wedding with Marge to make up for their [[I Married Marge|lousy first]] ceremony, even going so far as to hire one of The Doobie Brothers as part of the wedding band and getting a divorce from Marge, essentially making their second wedding a "real" one.<ref name="A Milhouse Divided">"[[A Milhouse Divided]]"</ref>

Homer tends to derive amusement from the misfortune of others. He is also a chronic petty thief and borderline kleptomaniac, stealing everything from TV trays to power tools and air conditioners, even an entire room of the [[Flanders House]] from [[Ned Flanders]]. He stole golf balls from the local driving range, office supplies (including computers) from work, and beer mugs from [[Moe's Tavern]].
[[File:Homerdonut.jpg|150px|left|thumb|nail|Homer holding a donut.]]
Homer has a vacuous mind, but he's still able to retain a great amount of knowledge about very specific subjects. He often shows short bursts of astonishing insight, memory, creativity and fluency with many languages. He is also extremely confident; no matter how little skill or knowledge he has about anything he tries to do, he has no doubt he'll be successful. However, his brief periods of intelligence are overshadowed by much longer and more consistent periods of ignorance, forgetfulness and stupidity. Homer has a low IQ due to many factors: his hereditary [[Simpson gene|"Simpson Gene"]], his alcohol problem, exposure to radioactive waste, repetitive cranial trauma, and the crayon lodged in the frontal lobe of his brain. He also implied he will have been at least a bit smarter, if not by a substantial amount, if his father tried to give him encouragement rather than beat him down.<ref>"[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]"</ref>

The crayon in his brain's possibly the largest causal factor in his stupidity. Homer's intelligence was said to jump up fifty points when he had the crayon removed, bringing him to an IQ of 105, slightly above an average person (though he showed far above average intelligence), but he went back to his old self when he had it reinserted, presumably lowering his IQ back down to its original 55.<ref>"[[HOMЯ]]"</ref> This IQ score's, however, likely a joke or oversight on the producers' part, because someone with an IQ of 55 will be unable to look after themselves and will be classified as severely mentally handicapped. Also, from the level of intelligence he showed, it's much more likely his IQ was boasted to 135-155. Despite his handicap, Homer does have a degree of long term, calculated planning of what may happen, like when, shortly before taking his "forget-me-shot" from Moe Syzslak, requested for their anniversary party to have a Moon Jump due to realizing exactly what will happen afterwards.<ref name="Eternal Moonshine">"[[Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind]]"</ref>

Homer, at times, debates against his own brain. Occasionally, a specific body part, like the face, stomach or liver, is also shown debating with his brain. In [[Burns, Baby Burns|one notable scene]] Homer's mind actually leaves his body out of boredom, causing him to collapse. Homer's also inclined to retreat into fantasy, like daydreaming of Germany as [[The Land of Chocolate|"the land of chocolate"]].<ref>"[[Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk]]"</ref><ref>''[[The Simpsons Game]]''</ref> His attitudes toward women, romance, and sex are occasionally shown. While Homer's marriage with Marge is occasionally strained, it seems generally happy. Despite this, Homer's often tempted with other women, and usually shows no qualms with gawking at (and drooling over) attractive women. Homer almost had an affair with [[Mindy Simmons]],<ref name="The Last Temptation of Homer">"[[The Last Temptation of Homer]]"</ref> but ended up not wanting to. He made the occasional remark denoting his attraction to other women (including beautiful next-door neighbor [[Maude Flanders]], whom he later accidentally kills in a freak accident), even in front of Marge on occasion, despite his wife's neurotic insecurity, but always shows his devotion to Marge in the end.

=== Religious beliefs ===
Homer doesn't attend church every Sunday and when he does go it is only for Marge's sake. He frequently sleeps in church, much to the annoyance of [[Reverend Lovejoy]] and called [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] "Jebus". He actually met [[God]] face to face several times and even got permission from him in a dream to skip church. (God is a lot less uptight than Marge or Rev. Lovejoy.)<ref>"[[Homer the Heretic]]"</ref><ref>"[[Thank God It's Doomsday]]"</ref>

=== Alter egos ===
Homer became a superhero named [[Pieman]] when The Rich Texan made Lisa cry. He chucks pies in the faces of evildoers or people who deserve to be pied, uses the basement as a Pie Cave and his car as the Piemobile. Bart later acted as his sidekick named [[Cupcake Kid]].<ref>"[[Simple Simpson]]"</ref> He also attempted to don a graffiti alias as "El Homo", meant to be a Mexican take on his name, but erased it when he realized it was one of the words in Spanish for homosexual.<ref>"[[Large Marge]]"</ref>[[File:Simple Simpson promo.png|thumb|Homer and Bart as Pieman and Cupcake Kid.]]

When Homer went to prison for bribing an official, an {{ap|FBI agent|Donnie Fatso}} offered Homer a way out by infiltrating into the [[Springfield Mafia]] to spy on [[Fat Tony]]. Homer was given a toupee, a [[Gadget wig|wig]] with a microphone and a camera and a new name, [[Nicky Bluepants Altosaxophony]].<ref>"[[Donnie Fatso]]"</ref>

=== Skills ===
Homer was part of several bands. He won a Grammy for barbershop,<ref name="HBQ"/> numerous golden records for [[Sadgasm|his grunge band]],<ref name="T90S"/> and was able to help Lisa win a music contest using songs he wrote for her.{{cn}} He also once sat in with the [[Spuckler Family Band]], making armpit noises.<ref>''[[Homer Simpson's Little Book of Laziness]]''</ref>

He can also pick up foreign languages fairly quickly when it is in his interest. When he and Bart were imprisoned in [[Japan]] for a seemingly short amount of time, he was able to speak the language fluently by the time he left.{{cn}}

=== Health ===
While varying in physical ability from episode to episode, Homer is consistently portrayed as a binge drinking, over eating, accident prone dare devil who puts absolutely no thought into what his actions'll cost him, all of which made it impossible to get any form of insurance concerning his health. Homer's in the hospital in at least one episode every season, and had several life saving operations not including the one for his triple heart bypass and subsequent installation of his pacemaker he needed after his arteries were clogged with cholesterol. Years of working in a sub standard nuclear facility left his blood irradiated enough to show up on an x-ray, as well as having rendered him sterile.

Homer loves food. He can almost always be seen eating far more than any one man can possibly eat alone. His favorites are foods he knows are bad for him, and will blatantly refuse healthy food like oatmeal and fruit in favor of fatty meals. He was once willing to die upon eating a poisoned éclair despite knowing it will kill him, only to throw it away in horror when Lisa claimed it was low fat.<ref>"[[Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?]]"</ref> He also seems to have trouble with his hearing because he attended too many rock concerts.<ref name="The Otto Show">"[[The Otto Show]]"</ref> His lack of hearing may be the reason he didn't pay attention at any words anyone said. Both Bart and Homer have problem with concentration.<ref name="Bart Gets an F">"[[Bart Gets an "F"]]"</ref>

==== Hair loss ====
There are multiple theories how Homer lost his hair. One theory suggests Homer ripped out some of his hair when he realized Marge was pregnant with Bart, then more when he found out she was pregnant with Lisa, and all but the last few hairs when he found out she was pregnant with Maggie.{{Fact}} It was once shown that Homer gradually lost his hair over time.<ref name="Eternal Moonshine"/>

== Relationships ==
=== Romantic ===
Despite being married to Marge, throughout the entire show, Homer had a number of romantic encounters.

==== Marge Simpson ====
Homer is the husband of Marge Simpson. They met when they were younger without learning who each other was before meeting again properly in high school. They had three weddings.<ref name="Wedding for Disaster"/><ref name="A Milhouse Divided"/><ref>Before the show</ref> The two have a very strong marriage which survived cheating, amnesia and many arguments. They have been in love since high school.<ref name="The Way We Was"/>

==== Mindy Simmons ====
[[Mindy Simmons]] was an attractive employee at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] who has nearly everything in common with Homer. They attended a convention together and nearly had an affair.<ref name="The Last Temptation of Homer"/> After Homer turned her down, he later says she "hit the bottle pretty hard and got fired."

==== Lurleen Lumpkin ====
[[Lurleen Lumpkin]] is a waitress Homer helped in launching a successful singing career. She attempted to seduce him with no success.<ref name="Colonel Homer">"[[Colonel Homer]]"</ref> She's been married multiple times to men who all look like Homer.<ref name="Colonel Homer"/>

==== Amber ====
[[Amber Simpson|Amber]] was the Las Vegas wife whom Homer inadvertently married in "[[Viva Ned Flanders]]".<ref>"[[Viva Ned Flanders]]"</ref> They managed to get her drunk and made her believe she married Abe which made her run back to Vegas.<ref>"[[Brawl in the Family]]"</ref>

==== Julia ====
When Homer becomes a famous opera singer, he attracts the attention of a horde of fans including a stalker by the name of {{ap|Julia|The Homer of Seville}}. She confesses to Homer she is his to do with as he wants, becoming his personal assistant and attempting to seduce him at every turn. When he proclaims his heart belongs to Marge, she attempts to kill him with no success.<ref>"[[The Homer of Seville]]"</ref>

==== Edna ====
Homer was one of many individuals to have a relationship with [[Edna Krabappel]].<ref>"[[The Ned-liest Catch]]"</ref>

=== Friendships ===
==== Barney Gumble ====
[[Barney Gumble]] is one of Homer's best friends. They were both born in 1951 making Homer the same age as Barney. They have been best friends since at elementary school.<ref>"[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]"</ref><ref>"[[Li'l Homer 1]]"</ref> Homer was the one who convinced him to become an alcoholic.<ref>"[[Mr. Plow]]"</ref>

==== Lenny and Carl ====
[[Lenny]] and [[Carl]] are Homer's co-workers at the Nuclear Power Plant; they were all childhood friends through adulthood.<ref>"[[The Blunder Years]]"</ref><ref>"[[The Way We Weren't]]"</ref>

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
=== Future ===
Eight (8) years in the future, Homer and Marge's relationship finally ended, after Homer blew the family savings on an underwater house. She started dating [[Krusty the Clown]], and eventually Homer fought him to win her back. Homer was beaten, but Marge still decided to go back to him.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>

== Behind the Laughter ==
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame2.png|thumb|The first appearances of Homer and Bart Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and intended to present his [[Life in Hell]] series. When he realized animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family and named the characters after members of his own family, with Homer being named after his father. Homer made his debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on April 19, 1987 in [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]". Homer's middle initial "J", revealed to stand for "Jay",<ref>"[[D'oh-in' in the Wind]]"</ref> was a "tribute" to Bullwinkle J. Moose from ''{{W|The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show}}'', a show Matt Groening loved as a child.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/interviews/groening/page9.shtml|title=J is for Jay|accessdate=2007-06-12|publisher=BBC}}</ref>

According to Matt Groening, the whole family was designed so they would be recognizable in silhouette.<ref>{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt; Al Jean, Mike Reiss|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref><ref>{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt; James L. Brooks, David Silverman|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

=== Voice ===
Homer's voice sounds different on the shorts than the later half-hour show. [[Dan Castellaneta|Dan Castellaneta's]] earliest portrayal began as a loose impression of [[Walter Matthau]], but developed into a more robust and humorous voice during the second and third season of the half-hour show, allowing Homer to convey a wider range of emotions.<ref name="matthau">{{cite news|author=Brownfield, Paul|title=He's Homer, but This Odyssey Is His Own|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=1999-07-06}}</ref> Castellaneta changed the voice, as he could not sustain his Matthau impression for the 9-10 hour long recording sessions and had to find something easier.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1565538/20070725/story.jhtml|title='Simpsons' Trivia, From Swearing Lisa To 'Burns-Sexual' Smithers|accessdate=2007-07-29|date=2007-07-26|author=Larry Carroll|publisher=MTV}}</ref> During an interview with the cast of the show on ''Inside the Actors Studio'', Castellaneta stated Homer's voice was based in part on his own father who often spoke with an exuberant tone.

=== Foreign dubs ===
Homer's name is rarely translated, though exceptions occur. In the Arabic version Homer becomes Omar, and it was heavily modified, with alcohol and pork being removed. The Latin American version translates Homer to Homero.

=== Catchphrase ===
{{main|D'oh!}}
Homer popularized the annoyed grunt "[[D'oh!]]" (made memorable through Dan Castellaneta's distinctive voice work), which began as an abbreviated form of {{W|Jimmy Finlayson}} annoyed "Dooooh" in {{W|Laurel and Hardy}} and other comedy shorts. This modern interjection found enough popular acceptance to be included in the {{W|Oxford English Dictionary}}.

He also popularized the catchphrase "[[Mmm...]]". Many examples of other "mmm...s" are "Mmm...candy", "Mmm...pointy" or "Mmm...hug". He used it less lately.

Homer has other catchphrases. His other catchphrases are ''[[Woo Hoo!]]'' and ''[[Why you little!]]''.

=== Reception ===
[[File:D'oh.jpg|thumb|150px|Homer uttering the legendary word "D'oh".]]

''The Simpsons'' has been recommended for use in the teaching of sociology to modern-day college students. The journal ''Teaching Sociology'' appraised it as "particularly effective for illustrating sociological themes and encouraging critical thinking among today's undergraduates".<ref>Scanlan, Stephen J. and Seth L. Feinberg. "[http://www.lemoyne.edu/ts/28tsabstracts2.html The Cartoon Society: Using"The Simpsons" to Teach and Learn Sociology]." ''Teaching Sociology'' Volume 28, #2. p. 127-139. April 2002.</ref> The non-academic book ''[[The Simpsons and Philosophy, the D'oh! of Homer]]'' includes a chapter analyzing Homer's character from the perspective of Aristotelian virtue ethics.

Homer was ranked the second greatest cartoon character by TV Guide, behind Bugs Bunny, and was voted the greatest television character of all time by Channel 4 viewers. For voicing Homer, Castellaneta won four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance and a special-achievement Annie Award. In 2000, Homer and his family were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

==== Homer Simpson syndrome ====
[[File:Homer Simpson's head.png|200px|thumb|Homer Simpson on ''[[Futurama]]'']]
A five-year study of more than 2,000 middle-aged people in France found a possible link between weight and brain function, dubbed the "Homer Simpson syndrome".<ref name=hss>{{cite news| title = Obese people lose IQ through 'Homer Simpson effect'| publisher =Thisislondon | date =2006-10-15| url =http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23370854-details/Obese%20people%20lose%20IQ%20through%20'Homer%20Simpson%20effect'/article.do| accessdate =2007-08-15}}</ref> Results from a word memory test showed people with a BMI of 20 (considered to be a healthy level) remembered an average of nine out of 16 words. Meanwhile, people with a BMI of 30 (inside the obese range) remembered an average of just seven out of 16 words.<ref name=hss/>

=== Merchandising ===
[[File:Golden Homer.jpg|thumb|A golden figurine of Homer from Burger King in 2007.]]
Homer's inclusion in many Simpsons publications, toys, and other merchandise is evidence of his enduring popularity. He played central roles in the ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'' series. ''[[The Homer Book]]'', written about Homer's personality and attributes, has been published and is commercially available. Numerous other items such as bottle openers, alarm clocks and other merchandise are widely available for purchase.

== Trivia ==
*Homer weighs 240,<ref name="MythBusters">[[MythBusters|''The Simpsons MythBusters'' special]]</ref> 1,092,<ref>"[[Grampy Can Ya Hear Me]]"</ref> or 239<ref name="Lisa Gets the Blues">"[[Lisa Gets the Blues]]"</ref> pounds.
*He is 5'11"<ref name="MythBusters"/> or 6'<ref name="Lisa Gets the Blues"/> tall.
*His social security number is 568-47-0008.
*His blood type is B positive.
*His earmuff size is XL.
*His shoe size is 11 1/2.<ref name="MythBusters"/>
*He often writes fist-like.
*His Instagram account is "@homersimpson_official".
*Homer's PIN is 7431, according to "[[The Girl Who Slept Too Little]]".
*In one episode, he was the only character in the show to say {{Explain|bulls**t|bullshit}}, but the "{{Explain|s**t|shit}}" part was censored by a honk sound.
*Homer owns the [[Denver Broncos]], despite wanting to own the Dallas Cowboys.
*In "[[Fear of Flying]]", it is shown his favorite song (at the time) was "It's Raining Men".
*Homer, in fact, died twice. As shown in "Homer's Triple Bypass", when he died of a heart attack, but was revived when Mr. Burns mentioned a ham. And again in "[[Million Dollar Maybe]]", when he was trying to calm himself down after stressing about being rich and not being able to tell Marge, but was revived when he realized he was dead and made a desperate attempt to return to his body. He dies countless times in the ''Treehouse of Horror'' segments, but they are non-canon.
*According to "[[The Blunder Years]]", his constant eating and fear of corpses was a direct result of his trauma from finding Waylon Smithers, Sr.'s corpse.
*He is one of three characters in the series to break a leg and have an episode plot revolve around it.<ref>"[[Children of a Lesser Clod]]"</ref> (The other two are [[Bart]]<ref>"[[Bart of Darkness]]"</ref> and [[Marge]].<ref>"[[Little Big Mom]]"</ref>)

'''Hans Moleman''' (born August 2),<ref name="Selma's Choice"/> also known as '''Ralph Melish''',<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref><ref>[[Every.Simpsons.Ever.]]</ref> is a 4ft 4 in, 140 lb mole-like man with extremely bad luck. He is also a former [[Mayor of Springfield]].<ref name="Walking Big & Tall"/>

== Description ==
He has cataracts and is almost entirely blind (which has severely impaired his reading ability) and has used medical marijuana. He carries a brown cane with him everywhere, which was once shown to contain a hidden sword.

== Biography ==
[[File:Hans Moleman Every Simpsons Ever.jpg|thumb|250px|left]]
[[File:920 Oak Grove.png|thumb|Hans Moleman's driver's license]]
Although apparently elderly, Hans Moleman once claimed that he was only 31 years old<ref name="Duffless"/> (his driver's license says he was born August 2, 1961, in a 1993 episode),<ref name="Selma's Choice"/> but due to his heavy drinking, he appears much older. However, this was wrong, most likely due to a combination of an error on his license and a mixture of old age and drinking.

Moleman is a former mayor of Springfield. Whilst he was the mayor, he bought a town anthem off a traveling salesman, which had also been sold to many other towns and cities. He also balanced the budget eight times during his time as mayor. When it was revealed that former Mayor Moleman had bought the town anthem and not written it himself as he had claimed, he was ejected from Springfield by being tied to a horse and sent out into the desert. After a long time, Moleman said "whoa" and the horse stopped and took him off its back.<ref name="Walking Big & Tall"/>

Hans was once mistaken for Bart and accidentally "de-programmed" (Homer and Marge had hired a cult de-programmer, hoping to convince Bart to move out of Mr. Burns' mansion and back in with them), apparently leading him to believe he is [[Bart|the son]] of [[Homer]] and [[Marge]].<ref>"[[Burns' Heir]]"</ref> At one time, it was revealed that Hans Moleman slept with Lars Ulrich's grandmother, and is considered by [[Metallica]] to be a "real fan".<ref>"[[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]"</ref>

Homer once stumbled across Hans Moleman as the leader of a race of Mole People in an underground fortress complete with earthquake machines.<ref name="Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder">"[[Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder]]"</ref>

Moleman's home address is [[920 Oak Grove]], [[Springfield]]. He has also been seen living at the Springfield Retirement Castle and he is shown to live in a small house directly below the dam that was erected (and subsequently destroyed). Apparently, he had a father who lived at Springfield Retirement Castle with whom he does the wheelbarrow race with, indicating that he may actually be younger than he looks.<ref>"[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]"</ref>

=== Love life ===
Moleman once went on a date with [[Selma Bouvier]]. However, when she imagined what life with Moleman might be like, she kicked him out of her car (outside the wrong house). Moleman also went on a date with [[Lunchlady Dora]] at [[Holding Hands Point]], Moleman claimed they were putting their relationship back together. Moleman and Dora were later seen together at a screening of "[[All the Wrong Reasons]]".<ref>"[[Homer Scissorhands]]"</ref><ref>"[[Beware My Cheating Bart]]"</ref> He was seen at "Grownup Halloween" with both [[Princess Kashmir]] and [[Stephanie Brockman]].<ref>"[[Halloween of Horror]]"</ref>

=== Careers ===
[[File:MolemanEarthquake.png|thumb|left|260px|Hans Moleman with his earthquake machine]]He runs an early morning radio show, on [[Springfield]]'s jazz station KJAZZ-FM, in which he introduces himself as "This is Moleman in the Morning, Good Moleman to you". One of his other jobs was driving a truck filled with sugar (which he subsequently flipped onto its side, spilling its contents, much to Homer's delight.) He is often seen driving other types of trucks as well. He was seen transporting the birthplace of Edgar Allan Poe in a truck.<ref>"[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]"</ref> He also teaches an orange-eating class at the Adult Learning Centre in Springfield.

On another occasion, it is implied that he works at a bird sanctuary, as he has to order a bird seed bell ("No, that's too big").<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy Land]]"</ref> He once worked as a postal worker. He once worked as a janitor at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] and received a severe head wound ("Oh no, my brains.") from [[Mr. Burns]] when Moleman asked Burns for seventeen dollars for a push-broom rebristling; Burns, high on ether, mistook him for the Lucky Charms leprechaun and went to his skull with a power drill. He has also been seen representing a Solar Power company.<ref>"[[The Last Temptation of Homer]]"</ref> Homer stumbles across Hans Moleman as the leader of a race of Mole People in an underground fortress complete with earthquake machines.<ref name="Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder"/> Before now he has also been working in a prison as someone giving out books.He has also made a short movie for the Springfield movie festival entitled "Man getting hit by football" in which his only three words were "Ow, my groin".
Most recently, he has been sighted working as a teller at the [[First Bank of Springfield]]. He also worked as a Duff Delivery man in <ref>"[[MyPods and Boomsticks]]"</ref> and a janitor at the Power plant.<ref>"[[Million Dollar Maybe]]"</ref><ref>"[[Team Homer]]"</ref>

=== Accidents ===
Hans has escaped death innumerable times, usually highly improbably. He survived when his car exploded, after Otto mistook the gremlin on the side of the schoolbus, for Moleman's AMC Gremlin (a car). He survived being thrown out of a 2 story building, he survived catching on fire due to the powerful magnifying effect of his glasses, [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Montgomery Burns]] drilling into his brain, capital punishment (in a local jail) after Homer eats his last meal, being crushed by a pizzeria rubble, being buried alive, getting stranded in the snow surrounded by wolves, getting run over by the school bus, mysteriously flying into the side of a restaurant,<ref>"[[My Sister, My Sitter]]"</ref> sinking completely into quicksand, being run over (while carrying a "U Suck" sign in the middle of countless "Keep Out" signs) by Homer Simpson when trying to dump the Pig Crap into Springfield Lake, and being engulfed by the "anti-escape orb" that was attempting to catch Marge from escaping a [[Movementarianism|Movementarian]] compound (a parody of the Rover security device from the 60s show ''the Prisoner'').

Many times people will totally disregard him, usually leading to something like death, or simply imprisonment, but since he appears, even after "dying", those later appearances could indicate he survived. He has also had several accidents where he was not severely injured. He further angered the crowd at Bart and Lisa's junior hockey final because he fell down the steps then shouted 'We paid for blood!!'.<ref>"[[Lisa on Ice]]"</ref> He also crashed his 1959 Cadillac into the side of Springfield's Planet Hype restaurant (which Marge mistook for a clever decoration). On one occasion, due to Homer's stupidity, he nearly drowned in his truck when it sank into the river after Homer blew up the bridge between Duff Brewery island and the rest of Springfield.

{{Noncanon}}
In unaired episodes leaked by hacktivists from "[[Pseudo-nonymous]]" included the [[opening credits]] except when [[Homer]] threw the radioactive rod stuck in his back out of [[Pink Sedan|his car]]'s window, it landed in the beverage cup in the hands of a young man who upon sucking from his straw was immediately transformed from handsome and muscular into Hans Moleman. He pleaded with the woman he was with that he is the same man on the inside, but she still ran away from him screaming.<ref>"[[Lisa the Boy Scout]]"</ref>
=== The Simpsons: Road Rage ===
In ''[[The Simpsons: Road Rage]]'', Moleman is one of the characters who can be picked up as a passenger. He lives in an [[Moleman's apartment|apartment]] on a back street near the [[Springfield Grocery Store]].

== Behind the Laughter ==
[[File:Principal Charming Moleman, Man With Nice Stride.jpg|thumb|left|Sketch of "Kindly Old Gent" and "Man With Nice Stride"]]
Moleman first appeared as a character model for the season two episode "[[Principal Charming]]", but he looked so shriveled and unrealistic that some one proclaimed to look like a "mole man". Before this, Moleman was known as "Kindly Old Gent". However, he was used in several episodes and later became a recurring character.

According to the episode "[[Principal Charming]]", his name was '''Ralph Melish''', which is a reference to the ''Monty Python'' sketch, ''The Adventures Of Ralph Melish: Hot Dog and Knickers'', from ''The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief''.

According to a DVD commentary for one episode, some number of viewers were offended by Moleman's appearance, and he was reused in order to annoy people of such a viewpoint. Matt Groening has claimed that Hans Moleman was inspired by Tex Avery's Droopy Dog, who shares many of Moleman's deadpan and unassuming mannerisms.

'''Hans Moleman''' (also known as '''Ralph Melish'''<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref>) is a 4ft 4 in, 140 lb mole-like man with extremely bad luck. He is also a former [[Mayor of Springfield]].<ref name="Walking Big & Tall"/>

== Description ==
He has cataracts and is almost entirely blind (which has severely impaired his reading ability) and has used medical marijuana. He carries a brown cane with him everywhere, which was once shown to contain a hidden sword.

== Biography ==
[[File:Hans Moleman Every Simpsons Ever.jpg|thumb|250px|left]]
[[File:920 Oak Grove.png|thumb|Hans Moleman's driver's license]]
Although apparently elderly, Hans Moleman once claimed that he was only 31 years old (his driver's license says he was born August 2, 1961, in a 1993 episode), but due to his heavy drinking, he appears much older. However, this was wrong, most likely due to a combination of an error on his license and a mixture of old age and drinking.

Moleman is a former mayor of Springfield. Whilst he was the mayor, he bought a town anthem off a traveling salesman, which had also been sold to many other towns and cities. He also balanced the budget eight times during his time as mayor. When it was revealed that former Mayor Moleman had bought the town anthem and not written it himself as he had claimed, he was ejected from Springfield by being tied to a horse and sent out into the desert. After a long time, Moleman said "whoa" and the horse stopped and took him off its back.<ref name="Walking Big & Tall"/>

Hans was once mistaken for Bart and accidentally "de-programmed" (Homer and Marge had hired a cult de-programmer, hoping to convince Bart to move out of Mr. Burns' mansion and back in with them), apparently leading him to believe he is [[Bart|the son]] of [[Homer]] and [[Marge]].<ref>"[[Burns' Heir]]"</ref> At one time, it was revealed that Hans Moleman slept with Lars Ulrich's grandmother, and is considered by [[Metallica]] to be a "real fan".<ref>"[[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]"</ref>

Homer once stumbled across Hans Moleman as the leader of a race of Mole People in an underground fortress complete with earthquake machines.<ref name="Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder">"[[Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder]]"</ref>

Moleman's home address is [[920 Oak Grove]], [[Springfield]]. He has also been seen living at the Springfield Retirement Castle and he is shown to live in a small house directly below the dam that was erected (and subsequently destroyed). Apparently, he had a father who lived at Springfield Retirement Castle with whom he does the wheelbarrow race with, indicating that he may actually be younger than he looks.<ref>"[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]"</ref>

=== Love life ===
Moleman once went on a date with [[Selma Bouvier]]. However, when she imagined what life with Moleman might be like, she kicked him out of her car (outside the wrong house). Moleman also went on a date with [[Lunchlady Dora]] at [[Holding Hands Point]], Moleman claimed they were putting their relationship back together. Moleman and Dora were later seen together at a screening of "[[All the Wrong Reasons]]".<ref>"[[Homer Scissorhands]]"</ref><ref>"[[Beware My Cheating Bart]]"</ref> He was seen at "Grownup Halloween" with both [[Princess Kashmir]] and [[Stephanie Brockman]].<ref>"[[Halloween of Horror]]"</ref>

=== Careers ===
[[File:MolemanEarthquake.png|thumb|left|260px|Hans Moleman with his earthquake machine]]He runs an early morning radio show, on [[Springfield]]'s jazz station KJAZZ-FM, in which he introduces himself as "This is Moleman in the Morning, Good Moleman to you". One of his other jobs was driving a truck filled with sugar (which he subsequently flipped onto its side, spilling its contents, much to Homer's delight.) He is often seen driving other types of trucks as well. He was seen transporting the birthplace of Edgar Allan Poe in a truck.<ref>"[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]"</ref> He also teaches an orange-eating class at the Adult Learning Centre in Springfield.

On another occasion, it is implied that he works at a bird sanctuary, as he has to order a bird seed bell ("No, that's too big").<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy Land]]"</ref> He once worked as a postal worker. He once worked as a janitor at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] and received a severe head wound ("Oh no, my brains.") from [[Mr. Burns]] when Moleman asked Burns for seventeen dollars for a push-broom rebristling; Burns, high on ether, mistook him for the Lucky Charms leprechaun and went to his skull with a power drill. He has also been seen representing a Solar Power company.<ref>"[[The Last Temptation of Homer]]"</ref> Homer stumbles across Hans Moleman as the leader of a race of Mole People in an underground fortress complete with earthquake machines.<ref name="Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder"/> Before now he has also been working in a prison as someone giving out books.He has also made a short movie for the Springfield movie festival entitled "Man getting hit by football" in which his only three words were "Ow, my groin".
Most recently, he has been sighted working as a teller at the [[First Bank of Springfield]]. He also worked as a Duff Delivery man in <ref>"[[MyPods and Boomsticks]]"</ref> and a janitor at the Power plant.<ref>"[[Million Dollar Maybe]]"</ref><ref>"[[Team Homer]]"</ref>

=== Accidents ===
Hans has escaped death innumerable times, usually highly improbably. He survived when his car exploded, after Otto mistook the gremlin on the side of the schoolbus, for Moleman's AMC Gremlin (a car). He survived being thrown out of a 2 story building, he survived catching on fire due to the powerful magnifying effect of his glasses, [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Montgomery Burns]] drilling into his brain, capital punishment (in a local jail) after Homer eats his last meal, being crushed by a pizzeria rubble, being buried alive, getting stranded in the snow surrounded by wolves, getting run over by the school bus, mysteriously flying into the side of a restaurant,<ref>"[[My Sister, My Sitter]]"</ref> sinking completely into quicksand, being run over (while carrying a "U Suck" sign in the middle of countless "Keep Out" signs) by Homer Simpson when trying to dump the Pig Crap into Springfield Lake, and being engulfed by the "anti-escape orb" that was attempting to catch Marge from escaping a [[Movementarianism|Movementarian]] compound (a parody of the Rover security device from the 60s show ''the Prisoner'').

Many times people will totally disregard him, usually leading to something like death, or simply imprisonment, but since he appears, even after "dying", those later appearances could indicate he survived. He has also had several accidents where he was not severely injured. He further angered the crowd at Bart and Lisa's junior hockey final because he fell down the steps then shouted 'We paid for blood!!'.<ref>"[[Lisa on Ice]]"</ref> He also crashed his 1959 Cadillac into the side of Springfield's Planet Hype restaurant (which Marge mistook for a clever decoration). On one occasion, due to Homer's stupidity, he nearly drowned in his truck when it sank into the river after Homer blew up the bridge between Duff Brewery island and the rest of Springfield.

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
In unaired episodes leaked by hacktivists from "[[Pseudo-nonymous]]" included the [[opening credits]] except when [[Homer]] threw the radioactive rod stuck in his back out of [[Pink Sedan|his car]]'s window, it landed in the beverage cup in the hands of a young man who upon sucking from his straw was immediately transformed from handsome and muscular into Hans Moleman. He pleaded with the woman he was with that he is the same man on the inside, but she still ran away from him screaming.<ref>"[[Lisa the Boy Scout]]"</ref>
=== The Simpsons: Road Rage ===
In ''[[The Simpsons: Road Rage]]'', Moleman is one of the characters who can be picked up as a passenger. He lives in an [[Moleman's apartment|apartment]] on a back street near the [[Springfield Grocery Store]].

== Behind the Laughter ==
[[File:Principal Charming Moleman, Man With Nice Stride.jpg|thumb|left|Sketch of "Kindly Old Gent" and "Man With Nice Stride"]]
Moleman first appeared as a character model for the season two episode "[[Principal Charming]]", but he looked so shriveled and unrealistic that some one proclaimed to look like a "mole man". Before this, Moleman was known as "Kindly Old Gent". However, he was used in several episodes and later became a recurring character.

According to the episode "[[Principal Charming]]", his name was '''Ralph Melish''', which is a reference to the ''Monty Python'' sketch, ''The Adventures Of Ralph Melish: Hot Dog and Knickers'', from ''The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief''.

According to a DVD commentary for one episode, some number of viewers were offended by Moleman's appearance, and he was reused in order to annoy people of such a viewpoint. Matt Groening has claimed that Hans Moleman was inspired by Tex Avery's Droopy Dog, who shares many of Moleman's deadpan and unassuming mannerisms.

'''Jacqueline "Jackie" Ingrid Gurney Bouvier'''<ref>''[[The Marge Book]]'': "Jacqueline Ingrid Gurney Bouvier is the widow of Clancy Bouvier, who was one of the earliest male flight attendants."</ref> (née '''Gurney'''), occasionally referred to as '''Grandma Bouvier''' or '''Mrs. Bouvier''', is the mother of [[Marge Simpson]], [[Patty]] and [[Selma Bouvier]], the widow of the late [[Clarence Bouvier]], the mother-in-law of [[Homer Simpson]] and the maternal grandmother of [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson]]. She also had a sister named [[Gladys Bouvier|Gladys]], now deceased.

== Common Bouvier traits ==
Jacqueline shares many Bouvier family traits with her daughters. When Marge was a little girl, Jacqueline had a blue beehive hairdo like Marge's, and her voice was also very similar to Marge's as an adult. She began smoking when Homer and Marge got together but has since quit. She has, in common with Patty and Selma, a pessimistic and critical outlook on life, rarely smiling. While she may also have a generally negative opinion of [[Homer]] like Patty and Selma, this seemed to soften over the years; she even states "Patty and Selma are a sort of evil" when they purposely provoked Homer one night.

== Romantic relationships ==
Jacqueline was married to Clarence Bouvier, now deceased.<ref>"[[Jazzy and the Pussycats]]"</ref><ref>"[[Puffless]]"</ref>

Marge tells Homer that when her father was trying to catch my mother's eye he sent her a box of candy with his photo afterwards she never forgot him.<ref>"[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]"</ref>

At one point, she had a brief romance with [[Abraham Simpson]], the father of her son-in-law Homer. However, she broke up with him when she was wooed by billionaire [[Charles Montgomery Burns]], whom she nearly married before Abraham's intervention made her decide she was better off alone.

== History ==
Marge told Homer to hold it together on a flight for a family trip to Pile Ridge, Louisiana, unless he wants all their future vacations to be at her mother's house, talking her into hospice.<ref>"[[Convenience Airways]]"</ref>

== Trivia ==

== Behind the Laughter ==
''Simpsons'' creator [[Matt Groening]] named Jacqueline after {{W|Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis}}. She has the tallest hair of any Simpsons character. According to a DVD commentary, her appearance was created by "taking Marge's model and squashing it."

'''Clarence "Clancy" Bouvier''',<ref>"[[Wedding for Disaster]]" (name seen on certificate of marriage)</ref><ref>''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]''</ref> occasionally referred to as '''Grampa Bouvier''',<ref name="Puffless">"[[Puffless]]"</ref><ref name="Bart's Not Dead">"[[Bart's Not Dead]]"</ref> was the chain-smoking husband of [[Jacqueline Bouvier]], the father of [[Patty]], [[Selma]] and [[Marge Simpson]], father-in-law of [[Homer Simpson]] and maternal grandfather of [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson]] and [[Ling Bouvier]]. He was of French origin.<ref>"[[The Color Yellow]]"</ref>

== Biography ==
Like Patty and Selma, he was a chain smoker. While he was courting his future wife, he sent her a box of candy with his photo in it. After that, she never forgot him. Marge suggested that Homer try the same thing when he was upset because Mr. Burns did not remember his name.<ref>"[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]"</ref>

At some point he also served in the United States Navy where he picked up a swearing problem, which nearly cost him his job as a baby photographer. To solve this problem, his wife put a swear jar in the kitchen, and every time Clarence said a bad word, he had to put in a quarter.<ref>"[[Bart the Lover]]"</ref>

Clarence was one of the earliest male flight attendants, a job he held when Marge was a child, although he was ashamed of it, and told her he was a pilot instead. This was discovered when Marge boarded his plane to see her "pilot" father, but when she sees him performing stewardess duties, he yells at her not to look at him. This, along with several other plane-related mishaps, may have resulted in Marge's fear of flying.<ref>"[[Fear of Flying]]"</ref>

=== Dislike of Homer ===
[[File:Clancy Bouvier The Way We Was.png|thumb|left|200px|Clarence with Patty and Selma.]]

Clarence first met Homer when he showed up at the Bouvier home claiming to be Marge's prom date (who was actually [[Artie Ziff]]). He was kind and complimentary to Homer, saying that "from what she's told me I'm sure you're a solid citizen", since he was under the impression that Homer was Artie.

It is revealed later that his behavior may have just been common courtesy: When Marge returned home after the prom, she overheard her father stating that "when that Simpson boy showed up it took years off my life", to which her mother replied with, "Will you stop? She went with the good one" (referring to Artie).<ref>"[[The Way We Was]]"</ref>

Clarence Bouvier left $1,000 a month in his will to Marge to make sure she was okay for if she ever needed to leave Homer.<ref>"[[Homer's Adventures Through the Windshield Glass]]"</ref>

=== Later life ===
[[File:Clancyandfamily.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Aged Clarence (right) with his family, at the Springfield Town Hall.]]
Ever since his children were little, Clarence went to [[Springfield Town Hall]] to sing the City Anthem, and continued to do so as he aged. He was still alive when his grandchildren Bart and Lisa were toddlers.<ref>"[[Walking Big & Tall]]"</ref>
We know that Clarence is deceased, since Homer said he had bought Marge a "white-noise machine" to help her deal with her father's death.<ref>"[[Jazzy and the Pussycats]]"</ref> It was later revealed by Jacqueline that he died of lung cancer.<ref name="Puffless"/> At some point prior to his death, Clarence lost his leg.<ref name="Bart's Not Dead"/>

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
According to Lisa Simpson, her grandfather, Clarence died in a freak rollercoaster accident.<ref>''[[Loused Weekend]]''</ref>

In "[[Treehouse of Horror III]]", Clarence was eaten by the groom at King Homer's marriage to Marge (the segment is an obvious parody of King Kong).

Marge is the moralistic force in her family and often provides a grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the Simpson household. Aside from her duties at home, Marge flirted briefly with a number of careers ranging from police officer to anti-violence activist.

== Biography ==
[[File:Marge Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
[[File:Marge mopping.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Marge from [[season 24]]]]
Marge Bouvier was born on March 19, She is the third born child of the Bouvier family. Growing up her parents called her "Margie." She has a pair of sisters, the joyless twins, [[Patty]] and [[Selma]], both of whom vocally disapprove of Homer.

Marge went on to attend [[Springfield High School]], and in her final year met [[Homer Simpson]]. She was at first wary of Homer, but agreed to go to the prom with him, although she ended up going with [[Artie Ziff]]. However, she regrets going with him because he tried to have sex with her afterwards. Artie takes her home and later on she picks up Homer, walking home, in her car. Marge tells him how much she regretted going to the prom with Artie instead of him, causing Homer to somewhat repair the strap of her dress with the corsage he got her. After that decision, her sisters showed their discontent towards him and ultimately think he was just wrong for her. However, Selma does show she's willing to make a sincere attempt to like Homer for Marge's sake, causing him to have a higher opinion of her. Whereas, Patty never attempted to try and is always on Marge's case to leave Homer, thus it's why she and Homer hate each other.

After the two started dating for several years, Marge discovered she was pregnant with Bart, and she and Homer were married in a small wedding chapel across the state line. Lisa was born soon after, and the couple bought their first house.

She used to leave her children playing at [[Toddlin' Town]] while spending time with other moms, a group she calls [[The Cool Moms]]. They all lost contact to each other, but after many years they re-encountered.<ref>"[[Moms I'd Like to Forget]]"</ref>

Marge is the mother of the [[Simpson family]], who spends most her time doing housework, caring for [[Maggie]], being supportive of and indulging [[Lisa]] and either disciplining [[Bart]] or protecting him from Homer's wrath. Marge is the only member of the family who encourages church attendance. She also appears to have significant athletic ability. She is bilingual, being fully fluent in French.

Despite these tendencies Marge had her fair share of wild escapades throughout the show's history. She was once a [[Springfield Police|police officer]] in [[Springfield]],<ref name="Connection">"[[The Springfield Connection]]"</ref> took [[Dr. Zweig|therapy]] for [[Springfield Airport|flight]] fear,<ref>"[[Fear of Flying]]"</ref> was jailed for [[Kwik-E-Mart|shoplifting]],<ref name="Chains">"[[Marge in Chains]]"</ref> became a gambling addict,<ref>"[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]"</ref> showed alcoholic tendencies,<ref>"[[Co-Dependent's Day]]"</ref> was an unwilling participant in a cross-country police chase,<ref>"[[Marge on the Lam]]"</ref> overdosed on steroids,<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma">"[[The Strong Arms of the Ma]]"</ref> cheated in a cooking competition<ref name="Oven">"[[All's Fair in Oven War]]"</ref> and developed amnesia.<ref>"[[Regarding Margie]]"</ref>

== Character ==
[[File:Margefolder.png|thumbnail|left|Marge's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]
=== Personality ===
Marge is a foil to her reckless and impulsive husband. Nevertheless, she is a good wife to Homer and a caring mother to her children. Having high morals and a tendency to be a 'wet blanket' as Homer puts it. She dislikes and tries to avoid taking any sort of risk, can be fearful of new things and set her life to a routine to the point she actually wore a groove into the carpet going from the kitchen to the bedroom and the basement from her constant housework. She tends to consider anything that isn't completely plain to be amazing or exotic, even if they're not all that special. Such as deviled ham opposed to normal ham and buttered noodles opposed to unbuttered noodles. She has also been depicted as a killjoy and attempt to stop things other characters otherwise find fun. She always believes she has a good reason for doing so even if it's only her who has a problem. She once [[Itchy and Scratchy]] banned because Maggie injured Homer after imitating a scene from the cartoon.<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy & Marge]]"</ref> She tried to demolish a burlesque house even though it hurt no one and no one else wanted it destroyed,<ref>"[[Bart After Dark]]"</ref> and she outright says if something isn't to her taste, no one else should be allowed to enjoy it.<ref>"[[The Great Wife Hope]]"</ref> Homer sums up his wife when he tells her: "If it was up to [Marge], all we'd ever do is work and go to church."

=== Physical Appearance ===
Marge has tall blue hair in a tall {{W|beehive hairstyle}} and usually wears a tube-style green dress, orange flats, and a red pearl necklace. The pearl necklace is a Bouvier family heirloom and she is seen to have a big drawer full of them.<ref>"[[Homer the Vigilante]]"</ref> [[Lisa]] also wears a pearl necklace, but with white pearls. Doctor Hibbert revealed she has webbed feet.<ref name="Chains"/> She remarked she used to have a "perfect 26-26-26" figure.<ref>"[[Husbands and Knives]]"</ref>

==== Hair ====
[[File:Marge hair down.png|thumb|Marge's hair]]
As a teen, Marge had waist length hair she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom;<ref>"[[The Way We Was]]"</ref> This is sometimes contradicted by recent flashbacks showing Marge as a child, where she is portrayed with her hair worn tall. Her hair is thick enough for her to keep objects like the family savings in it.<ref>"[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]"</ref> Her hair is once shown close to her knees, consistent with the logic a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive.<ref>"[[Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious]]"</ref> It was revealed by Homer Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56, stating ''"She's been gray as a mule since she was seventeen."'' <ref>"[[Secrets of a Successful Marriage]]"</ref> Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu.<ref name="Chains"/> Her hair was blue before she met Homer and was brunette at one time due to Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time.<ref>"[[The Way We Weren't]]"</ref>

=== Political Views ===
Politically, Marge generally aligns with the Democratic Party. She once mentions she voted for Jimmy Carter ("twice" according to [[Lisa]]),supported the candidacy of their state's progressive governor [[Mary Bailey]], and also claimed to have been extremely depressed when Lyndon B. Johnson died. She, however, appears to be a Conservative Democrat, unlike the Left-Winged Lisa.

=== Talents ===
Marge is a very talented painter. When she was a teenager she had an intense crush on [[Ringo Starr]] and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest where her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was hired by [[Mr. Burns]] to do a portrait of him. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from [[Ringo Starr]], (stating she had talent), inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns' praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the [[Springfield Art Museum]]s Burn's Wing.<ref>"[[Brush with Greatness]]"</ref>

Marge is also a very talented cook. She once bought a pretzel business, which flourished with the aid of the [[Springfield Mafia|mafia]].<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson">"[[The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]"</ref> She entered various cooking challenges, although circumstances such as vengeful competitors and overheated ovens cause her to lose and once, sabotage other competitors. Marge says she feeds the family on twelve dollars a week, using sawdust to pad Homer's food.<ref name="Oven"/> Generally she is regarded as a very good cook, despite the unusual fact she knows of fewer than eight spices and apparently constructs very bad ice cream sundaes. She is especially renowned for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish. She once worked in [[Au Naturel]], an erotic bakery in [[Springfield]].<ref name="Pies">"[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]"</ref>

=== Jobs ===
Marge had many jobs, most of which lasted a short period of time, these include:
*{{W|Carhop}} at [[Berger's Burgers]]<ref>"[[Homer's Odyssey]]"</ref><ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref>
*Pretzel vendor<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson"/>
*4th grade schoolteacher both homeschooling<ref>"[[Whacking Day]]"</ref> and as a strikebreaker<ref>"[[The PTA Disbands]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Police|Policewoman]]<ref name="Connection"/>
*Trade Show Model <ref>"[[Large Marge]]"</ref>
*Bodybuilder<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma"/>
*Real estate agent for [[Red Blazer Realty]]<ref>"[[Realty Bites]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Power plant]] employee<ref>"[[Marge Gets a Job]]"</ref>
*Baker for an Erotic Bakery <ref name="Pies"/>

=== Future ===
In the future, Marge leaves Homer after he blew the family savings on an underwater home. She dates [[Krusty the Clown]]. Homer tries to win Marge's love back by beating him up, and is beaten up himself. Marge gets back together with Homer.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>
=== Treehouse of Horror ===
In "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]" segment "The Thing and I", it is known Marge gave birth to Siamese twins: Bart and [[Hugo Simpson|Hugo]]. Hugo was thought evil, so he was kept in the house's attic. Hugo attempts to sew him and Bart back together, but he is stopped by Doctor Hibbert. They discover Bart's scar is on the other side, so he is the evil twin after all and is kept in the attic instead, while Hugo has dinner with his family.

== Behind the Laughter ==
Marge Simpson is voiced by [[Julie Kavner]], who became famous for being on the TV series, ''[[Rhoda]]''.

The episode "[[That '90s Show]]" (season 19, 2007) contradicted much of the established back-story; for example, it was revealed Marge and Homer were childless in the early 1990s although past episodes suggested Bart and Lisa were born in the 1980s.

As with many Simpsons characters, Marge's age changes to serve the story.
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame10.png|thumb|The first appearances of Marge and Lisa Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and intended to present his ''Life in Hell'' series. When he realized animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after his own own family, with his mother's first name being Marge (short for Margaret). Marge made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]".<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

In ''The Simpsons'' Season Four DVD commentary, Matt Groening states the original idea behind Marge's hair was to conceal large rabbit ears. The gag was intended to be revealed in the final episode of the series, but was scrapped early on due to inconsistencies.<ref>[[Matt Groening]], The Complete Fourth Season DVD (2004) commentary for episode Selma's Choice. 20th Century Fox</ref>

=== Reception ===
[[Julie Kavner]] received a Primetime Emmy Award in 1992 for voicing Marge in the episode "[[I Married Marge]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmys.org/awards/awardsearch.php |title=Primetime Emmy Awards Advanced Search|publisher=Emmys.org|accessdate=2008-02-09}}</ref> In 2004, Kavner and [[Dan Castellaneta]] (the voice of Homer) won a Young Artist Award for "Most Popular Mom & Dad in a TV Series".<ref name="YAA">{{cite news|url=http://www.youngartistawards.org/noms25.htm|title=25th Annual Winners and Nominees|accessdate=2008-01-18|publisher=Youngartistawards.org}}</ref> For her performance in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', Kavner received a nomination for "Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature" at the 2007 Annie Awards, but lost to Ian Holm in ''Ratatouille''.<ref name="A35">{{cite news|url=http://annieawards.org/foryourconsideration.html|title=For Your Consideration|

=== Cultural Influence ===
==== Merchandising ====
Marge is featured in much Simpsons-related merchandise, including T-shirts, baseball caps, stickers, cardboard stand-ups, refrigerator magnets, key rings, buttons, dolls, posters and figurines. She appeared in all of The Simpsons video games, including [[The Simpsons Game]]. Besides the television series, Marge regularly appears in issues of Simpsons Comics. Marge also plays a role in [[The Simpsons Ride]], at Universal Studios Florida and Hollywood.

==== Playboy Shoot ====
[[File:Aye Carumba! Marge Simpson poses for Playboy cover.jpg|thumb|The Playboy cover]]
In October 2009, it was announced Marge would be featured on the front cover of the November issue of Playboy. The edition was first published on October 16, 2009. The cover and a three-page picture spread, as well as a story inside entitled ''The Devil in Marge Simpson'', is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, but is also part of a plan to appeal to younger readers. Chief executive of Playboy Enterprises, Scott Flanders, said the cover and centerfold were "somewhat tongue-in-cheek".

=== Foreign dubs ===
Like in the original version in English, Marge is voiced by a female actress in several languages. However, in some dubs like in the Czech, Marge is voiced by a male actor instead of a female.

'''Jacqueline Ingrid "Jackie" Bouvier''' (née '''Gurney'''), occasionally referred to as '''Grandma Bouvier''' or '''Mrs. Bouvier''', is the mother of [[Marge Simpson]], [[Patty]] and [[Selma Bouvier]], the widow of the late [[Clarence Bouvier]], the mother-in-law of [[Homer Simpson]] and the maternal grandmother of [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson]]. She also had a sister named [[Gladys Bouvier|Gladys]], now deceased.

== Common Bouvier traits ==
Jacqueline shares many Bouvier family traits with her daughters. When Marge was a little girl, Jacqueline had a blue beehive hairdo like Marge's, and her voice was also very similar to Marge's as an adult. She began smoking when Homer and Marge got together but has since quit. She has, in common with Patty and Selma, a pessimistic and critical outlook on life, rarely smiling. While she may also have a generally negative opinion of [[Homer]] like Patty and Selma, this seemed to soften over the years; she even states "Patty and Selma are a sort of evil" when they purposely provoked Homer one night.

== Romantic relationships ==
Jacqueline was married to Clarence Bouvier, now deceased.<ref>"[[Jazzy and the Pussycats]]"</ref><ref>"[[Puffless]]"</ref>

Marge tells Homer that when her father was trying to catch my mother's eye he sent her a box of candy with his photo afterwards she never forgot him.<ref>"[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]"</ref>

At one point, she had a brief romance with [[Abraham Simpson]], the father of her son-in-law Homer. However, she broke up with him when she was wooed by billionaire [[Charles Montgomery Burns]], whom she nearly married before Abraham's intervention made her decide she was better off alone.

== History ==
Marge told Homer to hold it together on a flight for a family trip to Pile Ridge, Louisiana, unless he wants all their future vacations to be at her mother's house, talking her into hospice.<ref>"[[Convenience Airways]]"</ref>

== Trivia ==
*Her favorite song is {{W|Glenn Miller}}'s "{{W|Moonlight Serenade}}".<ref>"[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]"</ref>

== Behind the Laughter ==
''Simpsons'' creator [[Matt Groening]] named Jacqueline after {{W|Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis}}. She has the tallest hair of any Simpsons character. According to a DVD commentary, her appearance was created by "taking Marge's model and squashing it."

With her husband [[Homer]], she has three children: [[Bart]], [[Lisa]], and [[Maggie Simpson]]. Marge is the moralistic force in her family and often provides a grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the Simpson household. Aside from her duties at home, Marge flirted briefly with a number of careers ranging from police officer to anti-violence activist.

== Biography ==
[[File:Marge Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
[[File:Marge mopping.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Marge from [[season 24]]]]
Marge Bouvier was born on March 19, She is the third born child of the Bouvier family. Growing up her parents called her "Margie." She has a pair of sisters, the joyless twins, [[Patty]] and [[Selma]], both of whom vocally disapprove of Homer.

Marge went on to attend [[Springfield High School]], and in her final year met [[Homer Simpson]]. She was at first wary of Homer, but agreed to go to the prom with him, although she ended up going with [[Artie Ziff]]. However, she regrets going with him because he tried to have sex with her afterwards. Artie takes her home and later on she picks up Homer, walking home, in her car. Marge tells him how much she regretted going to the prom with Artie instead of him, causing Homer to somewhat repair the strap of her dress with the corsage he got her. After that decision, her sisters showed their discontent towards him and ultimately think he was just wrong for her. However, Selma does show she's willing to make a sincere attempt to like Homer for Marge's sake, causing him to have a higher opinion of her. Whereas, Patty never attempted to try and is always on Marge's case to leave Homer, thus it's why she and Homer hate each other.

After the two started dating for several years, Marge discovered she was pregnant with Bart, and she and Homer were married in a small wedding chapel across the state line. Lisa was born soon after, and the couple bought their first house.

She used to leave her children playing at [[Toddlin' Town]] while spending time with other moms, a group she calls [[The Cool Moms]]. They all lost contact to each other, but after many years they re-encountered.<ref>"[[Moms I'd Like to Forget]]"</ref>

Marge is the mother of the [[Simpson family]], who spends most her time doing housework, caring for [[Maggie]], being supportive of and indulging [[Lisa]] and either disciplining [[Bart]] or protecting him from Homer's wrath. Marge is the only member of the family who encourages church attendance. She also appears to have significant athletic ability. She is bilingual, being fully fluent in French.

Despite these tendencies Marge had her fair share of wild escapades throughout the show's history. She was once a [[Springfield Police|police officer]] in [[Springfield]],<ref name="Connection">"[[The Springfield Connection]]"</ref> took [[Dr. Zweig|therapy]] for [[Springfield Airport|flight]] fear,<ref>"[[Fear of Flying]]"</ref> was jailed for [[Kwik-E-Mart|shoplifting]],<ref name="Chains">"[[Marge in Chains]]"</ref> became a gambling addict,<ref>"[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]"</ref> showed alcoholic tendencies,<ref>"[[Co-Dependent's Day]]"</ref> was an unwilling participant in a cross-country police chase,<ref>"[[Marge on the Lam]]"</ref> overdosed on steroids,<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma">"[[The Strong Arms of the Ma]]"</ref> cheated in a cooking competition<ref name="Oven">"[[All's Fair in Oven War]]"</ref> and developed amnesia.<ref>"[[Regarding Margie]]"</ref>

== Character ==
[[File:Margefolder.png|thumbnail|left|Marge's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]
=== Personality ===
Marge is a foil to her reckless and impulsive husband. Nevertheless, she is a good wife to Homer and a caring mother to her children. Having high morals and a tendency to be a 'wet blanket' as Homer puts it. She dislikes and tries to avoid taking any sort of risk, can be fearful of new things and set her life to a routine to the point she actually wore a groove into the carpet going from the kitchen to the bedroom and the basement from her constant housework. She tends to consider anything that isn't completely plain to be amazing or exotic, even if they're not all that special. Such as deviled ham opposed to normal ham and buttered noodles opposed to unbuttered noodles. She has also been depicted as a killjoy and attempt to stop things other characters otherwise find fun. She always believes she has a good reason for doing so even if it's only her who has a problem. She once [[Itchy and Scratchy]] banned because Maggie injured Homer after imitating a scene from the cartoon.<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy & Marge]]"</ref> She tried to demolish a burlesque house even though it hurt no one and no one else wanted it destroyed,<ref>"[[Bart After Dark]]"</ref> and she outright says if something isn't to her taste, no one else should be allowed to enjoy it.<ref>"[[The Great Wife Hope]]"</ref> Homer sums up his wife when he tells her: "If it was up to [Marge], all we'd ever do is work and go to church."

=== Physical Appearance ===
Marge has tall blue hair in a tall {{W|beehive hairstyle}} and usually wears a tube-style green dress, orange flats, and a red pearl necklace. The pearl necklace is a Bouvier family heirloom and she is seen to have a big drawer full of them.<ref>"[[Homer the Vigilante]]"</ref> [[Lisa]] also wears a pearl necklace, but with white pearls. Doctor Hibbert revealed she has webbed feet.<ref name="Chains"/> She remarked she used to have a "perfect 26-26-26" figure.<ref>"[[Husbands and Knives]]"</ref>

==== Hair ====
[[File:Marge hair down.png|thumb|Marge's hair]]
As a teen, Marge had waist length hair she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom;<ref>"[[The Way We Was]]"</ref> This is sometimes contradicted by recent flashbacks showing Marge as a child, where she is portrayed with her hair worn tall. Her hair is thick enough for her to keep objects like the family savings in it.<ref>"[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]"</ref> Her hair is once shown close to her knees, consistent with the logic a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive.<ref>"[[Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious]]"</ref> It was revealed by Homer Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56, stating ''"She's been gray as a mule since she was seventeen."'' <ref>"[[Secrets of a Successful Marriage]]"</ref> Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu.<ref name="Chains"/> Her hair was blue before she met Homer and was brunette at one time due to Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time.<ref>"[[The Way We Weren't]]"</ref>

=== Political Views ===
Politically, Marge generally aligns with the Democratic Party. She once mentions she voted for Jimmy Carter ("twice" according to [[Lisa]]),supported the candidacy of their state's progressive governor [[Mary Bailey]], and also claimed to have been extremely depressed when Lyndon B. Johnson died. She, however, appears to be a Conservative Democrat, unlike the Left-Winged Lisa.

=== Talents ===
Marge is a very talented painter. When she was a teenager she had an intense crush on [[Ringo Starr]] and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest where her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was hired by [[Mr. Burns]] to do a portrait of him. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from [[Ringo Starr]], (stating she had talent), inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns' praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the [[Springfield Art Museum]]s Burn's Wing.<ref>"[[Brush with Greatness]]"</ref>

Marge is also a very talented cook. She once bought a pretzel business, which flourished with the aid of the [[Springfield Mafia|mafia]].<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson">"[[The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]"</ref> She entered various cooking challenges, although circumstances such as vengeful competitors and overheated ovens cause her to lose and once, sabotage other competitors. Marge says she feeds the family on twelve dollars a week, using sawdust to pad Homer's food.<ref name="Oven"/> Generally she is regarded as a very good cook, despite the unusual fact she knows of fewer than eight spices and apparently constructs very bad ice cream sundaes. She is especially renowned for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish. She once worked in [[Au Naturel]], an erotic bakery in [[Springfield]].<ref name="Pies">"[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]"</ref>

=== Jobs ===
Marge had many jobs, most of which lasted a short period of time, these include:
*{{W|Carhop}} at [[Berger's Burgers]]<ref>"[[Homer's Odyssey]]"</ref><ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref>
*Pretzel vendor<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson"/>
*4th grade schoolteacher both homeschooling<ref>"[[Whacking Day]]"</ref> and as a strikebreaker<ref>"[[The PTA Disbands]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Police|Policewoman]]<ref name="Connection"/>
*Trade Show Model <ref>"[[Large Marge]]"</ref>
*Bodybuilder<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma"/>
*Real estate agent for [[Red Blazer Realty]]<ref>"[[Realty Bites]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Power plant]] employee<ref>"[[Marge Gets a Job]]"</ref>
*Baker for an Erotic Bakery <ref name="Pies"/>

=== Future ===
In the future, Marge leaves Homer after he blew the family savings on an underwater home. She dates [[Krusty the Clown]]. Homer tries to win Marge's love back by beating him up, and is beaten up himself. Marge gets back together with Homer.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>
=== Treehouse of Horror ===
In "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]" segment "The Thing and I", it is known Marge gave birth to Siamese twins: Bart and [[Hugo Simpson|Hugo]]. Hugo was thought evil, so he was kept in the house's attic. Hugo attempts to sew him and Bart back together, but he is stopped by Doctor Hibbert. They discover Bart's scar is on the other side, so he is the evil twin after all and is kept in the attic instead, while Hugo has dinner with his family.

== Behind the Laughter ==
Marge Simpson is voiced by [[Julie Kavner]], who became famous for being on the TV series, ''[[Rhoda]]''.

The episode "[[That '90s Show]]" (season 19, 2007) contradicted much of the established back-story; for example, it was revealed Marge and Homer were childless in the early 1990s although past episodes suggested Bart and Lisa were born in the 1980s.

As with many Simpsons characters, Marge's age changes to serve the story.
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame10.png|thumb|The first appearances of Marge and Lisa Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and intended to present his ''Life in Hell'' series. When he realized animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after his own own family, with his mother's first name being Marge (short for Margaret). Marge made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]".<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

In ''The Simpsons'' Season Four DVD commentary, Matt Groening states the original idea behind Marge's hair was to conceal large rabbit ears. The gag was intended to be revealed in the final episode of the series, but was scrapped early on due to inconsistencies.<ref>[[Matt Groening]], The Complete Fourth Season DVD (2004) commentary for episode Selma's Choice. 20th Century Fox</ref>

=== Reception ===
[[Julie Kavner]] received a Primetime Emmy Award in 1992 for voicing Marge in the episode "[[I Married Marge]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmys.org/awards/awardsearch.php |title=Primetime Emmy Awards Advanced Search|publisher=Emmys.org|accessdate=2008-02-09}}</ref> In 2004, Kavner and [[Dan Castellaneta]] (the voice of Homer) won a Young Artist Award for "Most Popular Mom & Dad in a TV Series".<ref name="YAA">{{cite news|url=http://www.youngartistawards.org/noms25.htm|title=25th Annual Winners and Nominees|accessdate=2008-01-18|publisher=Youngartistawards.org}}</ref> For her performance in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', Kavner received a nomination for "Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature" at the 2007 Annie Awards, but lost to Ian Holm in ''Ratatouille''.<ref name="A35">{{cite news|url=http://annieawards.org/foryourconsideration.html|title=For Your Consideration|

=== Cultural Influence ===
==== Merchandising ====
Marge is featured in much Simpsons-related merchandise, including T-shirts, baseball caps, stickers, cardboard stand-ups, refrigerator magnets, key rings, buttons, dolls, posters and figurines. She appeared in all of The Simpsons video games, including [[The Simpsons Game]]. Besides the television series, Marge regularly appears in issues of Simpsons Comics. Marge also plays a role in [[The Simpsons Ride]], at Universal Studios Florida and Hollywood.

==== Playboy Shoot ====
[[File:Aye Carumba! Marge Simpson poses for Playboy cover.jpg|thumb|The Playboy cover]]
In October 2009, it was announced Marge would be featured on the front cover of the November issue of Playboy. The edition was first published on October 16, 2009. The cover and a three-page picture spread, as well as a story inside entitled ''The Devil in Marge Simpson'', is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, but is also part of a plan to appeal to younger readers. Chief executive of Playboy Enterprises, Scott Flanders, said the cover and centerfold were "somewhat tongue-in-cheek".

=== Foreign dubs ===
Like in the original version in English, Marge is voiced by a female actress in several languages. However, in some dubs like in the Czech, Marge is voiced by a male actor instead of a female.

== Trivia ==
{{Images|Marge}}
*Marge has hazel-colored eyes.
*Bouvier is the surname of Jackie Kennedy-Onassis.
*She is left-handed, but she usually uses her right hand for everything to look normal, so she is ambidextrous.
*Her shoe size is 13AA.
*She has aviophobia (fear of flying) and probably also acrophobia (fear of heights).

With her husband [[Homer]], she has three children: [[Bart]], [[Lisa]], and [[Maggie Simpson]]. Marge is the moralistic force in her family and often provides a grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the Simpson household. Aside from her duties at home, Marge flirted briefly with a number of careers ranging from police officer to anti-violence activist.

== Biography ==
[[File:Marge Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
[[File:Marge mopping.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Marge from [[season 24]]]]
Marge Bouvier was born on March 19, She is the third born child of the Bouvier family. Growing up her parents called her "Margie." She has a pair of sisters, the joyless twins, [[Patty]] and [[Selma]], both of whom vocally disapprove of Homer.

Marge went on to attend [[Springfield High School]], and in her final year met [[Homer Simpson]]. She was at first wary of Homer, but agreed to go to the prom with him, although she ended up going with [[Artie Ziff]]. However, she regrets going with him because he tried to have sex with her afterwards. Artie takes her home and later on she picks up Homer, walking home, in her car. Marge tells him how much she regretted going to the prom with Artie instead of him, causing Homer to somewhat repair the strap of her dress with the corsage he got her. After that decision, her sisters showed their discontent towards him and ultimately think he was just wrong for her. However, Selma does show she's willing to make a sincere attempt to like Homer for Marge's sake, causing him to have a higher opinion of her. Whereas, Patty never attempted to try and is always on Marge's case to leave Homer, thus it's why she and Homer hate each other.

After the two started dating for several years, Marge discovered she was pregnant with Bart, and she and Homer were married in a small wedding chapel across the state line. Lisa was born soon after, and the couple bought their first house.

She used to leave her children playing at [[Toddlin' Town]] while spending time with other moms, a group she calls [[The Cool Moms]]. They all lost contact to each other, but after many years they re-encountered.<ref>"[[Moms I'd Like to Forget]]"</ref>

Marge is the mother of the [[Simpson family]], who spends most her time doing housework, caring for [[Maggie]], being supportive of and indulging [[Lisa]] and either disciplining [[Bart]] or protecting him from Homer's wrath. Marge is the only member of the family who encourages church attendance. She also appears to have significant athletic ability. She is bilingual, being fully fluent in French.

Despite these tendencies Marge had her fair share of wild escapades throughout the show's history. She was once a [[Springfield Police|police officer]] in [[Springfield]],<ref name="Connection">"[[The Springfield Connection]]"</ref> took [[Dr. Zweig|therapy]] for [[Springfield Airport|flight]] fear,<ref>"[[Fear of Flying]]"</ref> was jailed for [[Kwik-E-Mart|shoplifting]],<ref name="Chains">"[[Marge in Chains]]"</ref> became a gambling addict,<ref>"[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]"</ref> showed alcoholic tendencies,<ref>"[[Co-Dependent's Day]]"</ref> was an unwilling participant in a cross-country police chase,<ref>"[[Marge on the Lam]]"</ref> overdosed on steroids,<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma">"[[The Strong Arms of the Ma]]"</ref> cheated in a cooking competition<ref name="Oven">"[[All's Fair in Oven War]]"</ref> and developed amnesia.<ref>"[[Regarding Margie]]"</ref>

== Character ==
[[File:Margefolder.png|thumbnail|left|Marge's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]
=== Personality ===
Marge is a foil to her reckless and impulsive husband. Nevertheless, she is a good wife to Homer and a caring mother to her children. Having high morals and a tendency to be a 'wet blanket' as Homer puts it. She dislikes and tries to avoid taking any sort of risk, can be fearful of new things and set her life to a routine to the point she actually wore a groove into the carpet going from the kitchen to the bedroom and the basement from her constant housework. She tends to consider anything that isn't completely plain to be amazing or exotic, even if they're not all that special. Such as deviled ham opposed to normal ham and buttered noodles opposed to unbuttered noodles. She has also been depicted as a killjoy and attempt to stop things other characters otherwise find fun. She always believes she has a good reason for doing so even if it's only her who has a problem. She once [[Itchy and Scratchy]] banned because Maggie injured Homer after imitating a scene from the cartoon.<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy & Marge]]"</ref> She tried to demolish a burlesque house even though it hurt no one and no one else wanted it destroyed,<ref>"[[Bart After Dark]]"</ref> and she outright says if something isn't to her taste, no one else should be allowed to enjoy it.<ref>"[[The Great Wife Hope]]"</ref> Homer sums up his wife when he tells her: "If it was up to [Marge], all we'd ever do is work and go to church."

=== Physical Appearance ===
Marge has tall blue hair in a tall {{W|beehive hairstyle}} and usually wears a tube-style green dress, orange flats, and a red pearl necklace. The pearl necklace is a Bouvier family heirloom and she is seen to have a big drawer full of them.<ref>"[[Homer the Vigilante]]"</ref> [[Lisa]] also wears a pearl necklace, but with white pearls. Doctor Hibbert revealed she has webbed feet.<ref name="Chains"/> She remarked she used to have a "perfect 26-26-26" figure.<ref>"[[Husbands and Knives]]"</ref>

==== Hair ====
[[File:Marge hair down.png|thumb|Marge's hair]]
As a teen, Marge had waist length hair she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom;<ref>"[[The Way We Was]]"</ref> This is sometimes contradicted by recent flashbacks showing Marge as a child, where she is portrayed with her hair worn tall. Her hair is thick enough for her to keep objects like the family savings in it.<ref>"[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]"</ref> Her hair is once shown close to her knees, consistent with the logic a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive.<ref>"[[Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious]]"</ref> It was revealed by Homer Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56, stating ''"She's been gray as a mule since she was seventeen."'' <ref>"[[Secrets of a Successful Marriage]]"</ref> Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu.<ref name="Chains"/> Her hair was blue before she met Homer and was brunette at one time due to Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time.<ref>"[[The Way We Weren't]]"</ref>

=== Political Views ===
Politically, Marge generally aligns with the Democratic Party. She once mentions she voted for Jimmy Carter ("twice" according to [[Lisa]]),supported the candidacy of their state's progressive governor [[Mary Bailey]], and also claimed to have been extremely depressed when Lyndon B. Johnson died. She, however, appears to be a Conservative Democrat, unlike the Left-Winged Lisa.

=== Talents ===
Marge is a very talented painter. When she was a teenager she had an intense crush on [[Ringo Starr]] and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest where her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was hired by [[Mr. Burns]] to do a portrait of him. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from [[Ringo Starr]], (stating she had talent), inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns' praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the [[Springfield Art Museum]]s Burn's Wing.<ref>"[[Brush with Greatness]]"</ref>

Marge is also a very talented cook. She once bought a pretzel business, which flourished with the aid of the [[Springfield Mafia|mafia]].<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson">"[[The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]"</ref> She entered various cooking challenges, although circumstances such as vengeful competitors and overheated ovens cause her to lose and once, sabotage other competitors. Marge says she feeds the family on twelve dollars a week, using sawdust to pad Homer's food.<ref name="Oven"/> Generally she is regarded as a very good cook, despite the unusual fact she knows of fewer than eight spices and apparently constructs very bad ice cream sundaes. She is especially renowned for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish. She once worked in [[Au Naturel]], an erotic bakery in [[Springfield]].<ref name="Pies">"[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]"</ref>

=== Jobs ===
Marge had many jobs, most of which lasted a short period of time, these include:
*{{W|Carhop}} at [[Berger's Burgers]]<ref>"[[Homer's Odyssey]]"</ref><ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref>
*Pretzel vendor<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson"/>
*4th grade schoolteacher both homeschooling<ref>"[[Whacking Day]]"</ref> and as a strikebreaker<ref>"[[The PTA Disbands]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Police|Policewoman]]<ref name="Connection"/>
*Trade Show Model <ref>"[[Large Marge]]"</ref>
*Bodybuilder<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma"/>
*Real estate agent for [[Red Blazer Realty]]<ref>"[[Realty Bites]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Power plant]] employee<ref>"[[Marge Gets a Job]]"</ref>
*Baker for an Erotic Bakery <ref name="Pies"/>

=== Future ===
In the future, Marge leaves Homer after he blew the family savings on an underwater home. She dates [[Krusty the Clown]]. Homer tries to win Marge's love back by beating him up, and is beaten up himself. Marge gets back together with Homer.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>
=== Treehouse of Horror ===
In "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]" segment "The Thing and I", it is known Marge gave birth to Siamese twins: Bart and [[Hugo Simpson|Hugo]]. Hugo was thought evil, so he was kept in the house's attic. Hugo attempts to sew him and Bart back together, but he is stopped by Doctor Hibbert. They discover Bart's scar is on the other side, so he is the evil twin after all and is kept in the attic instead, while Hugo has dinner with his family.

== Behind the Laughter ==
Marge Simpson is voiced by [[Julie Kavner]], who became famous for being on the TV series, ''[[Rhoda]]''.

The episode "[[That '90s Show]]" (season 19, 2007) contradicted much of the established back-story; for example, it was revealed Marge and Homer were childless in the early 1990s although past episodes suggested Bart and Lisa were born in the 1980s.

As with many Simpsons characters, Marge's age changes to serve the story.
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame10.png|thumb|The first appearances of Marge and Lisa Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and intended to present his ''Life in Hell'' series. When he realized animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after his own own family, with his mother's first name being Marge (short for Margaret). Marge made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]".<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

In ''The Simpsons'' Season Four DVD commentary, Matt Groening states the original idea behind Marge's hair was to conceal large rabbit ears. The gag was intended to be revealed in the final episode of the series, but was scrapped early on due to inconsistencies.<ref>[[Matt Groening]], The Complete Fourth Season DVD (2004) commentary for episode Selma's Choice. 20th Century Fox</ref>

=== Reception ===
[[Julie Kavner]] received a Primetime Emmy Award in 1992 for voicing Marge in the episode "[[I Married Marge]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmys.org/awards/awardsearch.php |title=Primetime Emmy Awards Advanced Search|publisher=Emmys.org|accessdate=2008-02-09}}</ref> In 2004, Kavner and [[Dan Castellaneta]] (the voice of Homer) won a Young Artist Award for "Most Popular Mom & Dad in a TV Series".<ref name="YAA">{{cite news|url=http://www.youngartistawards.org/noms25.htm|title=25th Annual Winners and Nominees|accessdate=2008-01-18|publisher=Youngartistawards.org}}</ref> For her performance in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', Kavner received a nomination for "Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature" at the 2007 Annie Awards, but lost to Ian Holm in ''Ratatouille''.<ref name="A35">{{cite news|url=http://annieawards.org/foryourconsideration.html|title=For Your Consideration|

=== Cultural Influence ===
==== Merchandising ====
Marge is featured in much Simpsons-related merchandise, including T-shirts, baseball caps, stickers, cardboard stand-ups, refrigerator magnets, key rings, buttons, dolls, posters and figurines. She appeared in all of The Simpsons video games, including [[The Simpsons Game]]. Besides the television series, Marge regularly appears in issues of Simpsons Comics. Marge also plays a role in [[The Simpsons Ride]], at Universal Studios Florida and Hollywood.

==== Playboy Shoot ====
[[File:Aye Carumba! Marge Simpson poses for Playboy cover.jpg|thumb|The Playboy cover]]
In October 2009, it was announced Marge would be featured on the front cover of the November issue of Playboy. The edition was first published on October 16, 2009. The cover and a three-page picture spread, as well as a story inside entitled ''The Devil in Marge Simpson'', is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, but is also part of a plan to appeal to younger readers. Chief executive of Playboy Enterprises, Scott Flanders, said the cover and centerfold were "somewhat tongue-in-cheek".

=== Foreign dubs ===
Like in the original version in English, Marge is voiced by a female actress in several languages. However, in some dubs like in the Czech, Marge is voiced by a male actor instead of a female.

With her husband [[Homer]], she has three children: [[Bart]], [[Lisa]], and [[Maggie Simpson]]. Marge is the moralistic force in her family and often provides a grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the Simpson household. Aside from her duties at home, Marge flirted briefly with a number of careers ranging from police officer to anti-violence activist.

== Biography ==
[[File:Marge Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
[[File:Marge mopping.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Marge from [[season 24]]]]
Marge Bouvier was born on March 19, She is the third born child of the Bouvier family. Growing up her parents called her "Margie." She has a pair of sisters, the joyless twins, [[Patty]] and [[Selma]], both of whom vocally disapprove of Homer.

Marge went on to attend [[Springfield High School]], and in her final year met [[Homer Simpson]]. She was at first wary of Homer, but agreed to go to the prom with him, although she ended up going with [[Artie Ziff]]. However, she regrets going with him because he tried to have sex with her afterwards. Artie takes her home and later on she picks up Homer, walking home, in her car. Marge tells him how much she regretted going to the prom with Artie instead of him, causing Homer to somewhat repair the strap of her dress with the corsage he got her. After that decision, her sisters showed their discontent towards him and ultimately think he was just wrong for her. However, Selma does show she's willing to make a sincere attempt to like Homer for Marge's sake, causing him to have a higher opinion of her. Whereas, Patty never attempted to try and is always on Marge's case to leave Homer, thus it's why she and Homer hate each other.

After the two started dating for several years, Marge discovered she was pregnant with Bart, and she and Homer were married in a small wedding chapel across the state line. Lisa was born soon after, and the couple bought their first house.

She used to leave her children playing at [[Toddlin' Town]] while spending time with other moms, a group she calls [[The Cool Moms]]. They all lost contact to each other, but after many years they re-encountered.<ref>"[[Moms I'd Like to Forget]]"</ref>

Marge is the mother of the [[Simpson family]], who spends most her time doing housework, caring for [[Maggie]], being supportive of and indulging [[Lisa]] and either disciplining [[Bart]] or protecting him from Homer's wrath. Marge is the only member of the family who encourages church attendance. She also appears to have significant athletic ability. She is bilingual, being fully fluent in French.

Despite these tendencies Marge had her fair share of wild escapades throughout the show's history. She was once a [[Springfield Police|police officer]] in [[Springfield]],<ref name="Connection">"[[The Springfield Connection]]"</ref> took [[Dr. Zweig|therapy]] for [[Springfield Airport|flight]] fear,<ref>"[[Fear of Flying]]"</ref> was jailed for [[Kwik-E-Mart|shoplifting]],<ref name="Chains">"[[Marge in Chains]]"</ref> became a gambling addict,<ref>"[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]"</ref> showed alcoholic tendencies,<ref>"[[Co-Dependent's Day]]"</ref> was an unwilling participant in a cross-country police chase,<ref>"[[Marge on the Lam]]"</ref> overdosed on steroids,<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma">"[[The Strong Arms of the Ma]]"</ref> cheated in a cooking competition<ref name="Oven">"[[All's Fair in Oven War]]"</ref> and developed amnesia.<ref>"[[Regarding Margie]]"</ref>

== Character ==
[[File:Margefolder.png|thumbnail|left|Marge's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]
=== Personality ===
Marge is a foil to her reckless and impulsive husband. Nevertheless, she is a good wife to Homer and a caring mother to her children. Having high morals and a tendency to be a 'wet blanket' as Homer puts it. She dislikes and tries to avoid taking any sort of risk, can be fearful of new things and set her life to a routine to the point she actually wore a groove into the carpet going from the kitchen to the bedroom and the basement from her constant housework. She tends to consider anything that isn't completely plain to be amazing or exotic, even if they're not all that special. Such as deviled ham opposed to normal ham and buttered noodles opposed to unbuttered noodles. She has also been depicted as a killjoy and attempt to stop things other characters otherwise find fun. She always believes she has a good reason for doing so even if it's only her who has a problem. She once [[Itchy and Scratchy]] banned because Maggie injured Homer after imitating a scene from the cartoon.<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy & Marge]]"</ref> She tried to demolish a burlesque house even though it hurt no one and no one else wanted it destroyed,<ref>"[[Bart After Dark]]"</ref> and she outright says if something isn't to her taste, no one else should be allowed to enjoy it.<ref>"[[The Great Wife Hope]]"</ref> Homer sums up his wife when he tells her: "If it was up to [Marge], all we'd ever do is work and go to church."

=== Physical Appearance ===
Marge has tall blue hair in a tall {{W|beehive hairstyle}} and usually wears a tube-style green dress, orange flats, and a red pearl necklace. The pearl necklace is a Bouvier family heirloom and she is seen to have a big drawer full of them.<ref>"[[Homer the Vigilante]]"</ref> [[Lisa]] also wears a pearl necklace, but with white pearls. Doctor Hibbert revealed she has webbed feet.<ref name="Chains"/> She remarked she used to have a "perfect 26-26-26" figure.<ref>"[[Husbands and Knives]]"</ref>

==== Hair ====
[[File:Marge hair down.png|thumb|Marge's hair]]
As a teen, Marge had waist length hair she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom;<ref>"[[The Way We Was]]"</ref> This is sometimes contradicted by recent flashbacks showing Marge as a child, where she is portrayed with her hair worn tall. Her hair is thick enough for her to keep objects like the family savings in it.<ref>"[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]"</ref> Her hair is once shown close to her knees, consistent with the logic a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive.<ref>"[[Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious]]"</ref> It was revealed by Homer Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56, stating ''"She's been gray as a mule since she was seventeen."'' <ref>"[[Secrets of a Successful Marriage]]"</ref> Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu.<ref name="Chains"/> Her hair was blue before she met Homer and was brunette at one time due to Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time.<ref>"[[The Way We Weren't]]"</ref>

=== Political Views ===
Politically, Marge generally aligns with the Democratic Party. She once mentions she voted for Jimmy Carter ("twice" according to [[Lisa]]),supported the candidacy of their state's progressive governor [[Mary Bailey]], and also claimed to have been extremely depressed when Lyndon B. Johnson died. She, however, appears to be a Conservative Democrat, unlike the Left-Winged Lisa.

=== Talents ===
Marge is a very talented painter. When she was a teenager she had an intense crush on [[Ringo Starr]] and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest where her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was hired by [[Mr. Burns]] to do a portrait of him. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from [[Ringo Starr]], (stating she had talent), inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns' praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the [[Springfield Art Museum]]s Burn's Wing.<ref>"[[Brush with Greatness]]"</ref>

Marge is also a very talented cook. She once bought a pretzel business, which flourished with the aid of the [[Springfield Mafia|mafia]].<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson">"[[The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]"</ref> She entered various cooking challenges, although circumstances such as vengeful competitors and overheated ovens cause her to lose and once, sabotage other competitors. Marge says she feeds the family on twelve dollars a week, using sawdust to pad Homer's food.<ref name="Oven"/> Generally she is regarded as a very good cook, despite the unusual fact she knows of fewer than eight spices and apparently constructs very bad ice cream sundaes. She is especially renowned for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish. She once worked in [[Au Naturel]], an erotic bakery in [[Springfield]].<ref name="Pies">"[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]"</ref>

=== Jobs ===
Marge had many jobs, most of which lasted a short period of time, these include:
*{{W|Carhop}} at [[Berger's Burgers]]<ref>"[[Homer's Odyssey]]"</ref><ref>"[[I Married Marge]]"</ref>
*Pretzel vendor<ref name="The Twisted World of Marge Simpson"/>
*4th grade schoolteacher both homeschooling<ref>"[[Whacking Day]]"</ref> and as a strikebreaker<ref>"[[The PTA Disbands]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Police|Policewoman]]<ref name="Connection"/>
*Trade Show Model <ref>"[[Large Marge]]"</ref>
*Bodybuilder<ref name="The Strong Arms of the Ma"/>
*Real estate agent for [[Red Blazer Realty]]<ref>"[[Realty Bites]]"</ref>
*[[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Power plant]] employee<ref>"[[Marge Gets a Job]]"</ref>
*Baker for an Erotic Bakery <ref name="Pies"/>

=== Future ===
In the future, Marge leaves Homer after he blew the family savings on an underwater home. She dates [[Krusty the Clown]]. Homer tries to win Marge's love back by beating him up, and is beaten up himself. Marge gets back together with Homer.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>
=== Treehouse of Horror ===
In "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]" segment "The Thing and I", it is known Marge gave birth to Siamese twins: Bart and [[Hugo Simpson|Hugo]]. Hugo was thought evil, so he was kept in the house's attic. Hugo attempts to sew him and Bart back together, but he is stopped by Doctor Hibbert. They discover Bart's scar is on the other side, so he is the evil twin after all and is kept in the attic instead, while Hugo has dinner with his family.

== Behind the Laughter ==
Marge Simpson is voiced by [[Julie Kavner]], who became famous for being on the TV series, ''[[Rhoda]]''.

The episode "[[That '90s Show]]" (season 19, 2007) contradicted much of the established back-story; for example, it was revealed Marge and Homer were childless in the early 1990s although past episodes suggested Bart and Lisa were born in the 1980s.

As with many Simpsons characters, Marge's age changes to serve the story.
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame10.png|thumb|The first appearances of Marge and Lisa Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and intended to present his ''Life in Hell'' series. When he realized animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after his own own family, with his mother's first name being Marge (short for Margaret). Marge made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]".<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

In ''The Simpsons'' Season Four DVD commentary, Matt Groening states the original idea behind Marge's hair was to conceal large rabbit ears. The gag was intended to be revealed in the final episode of the series, but was scrapped early on due to inconsistencies.<ref>[[Matt Groening]], The Complete Fourth Season DVD (2004) commentary for episode Selma's Choice. 20th Century Fox</ref>

=== Reception ===
[[Julie Kavner]] received a Primetime Emmy Award in 1992 for voicing Marge in the episode "[[I Married Marge]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmys.org/awards/awardsearch.php |title=Primetime Emmy Awards Advanced Search|publisher=Emmys.org|accessdate=2008-02-09}}</ref> In 2004, Kavner and [[Dan Castellaneta]] (the voice of Homer) won a Young Artist Award for "Most Popular Mom & Dad in a TV Series".<ref name="YAA">{{cite news|url=http://www.youngartistawards.org/noms25.htm|title=25th Annual Winners and Nominees|accessdate=2008-01-18|publisher=Youngartistawards.org}}</ref> For her performance in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', Kavner received a nomination for "Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature" at the 2007 Annie Awards, but lost to Ian Holm in ''Ratatouille''.<ref name="A35">{{cite news|url=http://annieawards.org/foryourconsideration.html|title=For Your Consideration|

=== Cultural Influence ===
==== Merchandising ====
Marge is featured in much Simpsons-related merchandise, including T-shirts, baseball caps, stickers, cardboard stand-ups, refrigerator magnets, key rings, buttons, dolls, posters and figurines. She appeared in all of The Simpsons video games, including [[The Simpsons Game]]. Besides the television series, Marge regularly appears in issues of Simpsons Comics. Marge also plays a role in [[The Simpsons Ride]], at Universal Studios Florida and Hollywood.

==== Playboy Shoot ====
[[File:Aye Carumba! Marge Simpson poses for Playboy cover.jpg|thumb|The Playboy cover]]
In October 2009, it was announced Marge would be featured on the front cover of the November issue of Playboy. The edition was first published on October 16, 2009. The cover and a three-page picture spread, as well as a story inside entitled ''The Devil in Marge Simpson'', is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, but is also part of a plan to appeal to younger readers. Chief executive of Playboy Enterprises, Scott Flanders, said the cover and centerfold were "somewhat tongue-in-cheek".

=== Foreign dubs ===
Like in the original version in English, Marge is voiced by a female actress in several languages. However, in some dubs like in the Czech, Marge is voiced by a male actor instead of a female.

== Trivia ==
{{Images|Marge}}
*Marge has hazel-colored eyes.
*Bouvier is the surname of Jackie Kennedy-Onassis.
*She is left-handed, but she usually uses her right hand for everything to look normal, so she is ambidextrous.
*Her shoe size is 13AA.
*She has aviophobia (fear of flying) and probably also acrophobia (fear of heights).
*As shown in "[[Kill Gil, Volumes I & II]]", Marge has trouble saying "no". As shown when she was about 7, Patty and Selma told her to hide their cigarettes in her dollhouse. She said no and they stuffed her into the dollhouse.
*Marge also needs to wear glasses.<ref>"[[The Boys of Bummer]]"</ref>
*Marge's middle name was once stated to be Jacqueline, another nod to Jackie Kennedy-Onassis.
*Marge has some sort of crush on [[Lenny Leonard]], referenced in many episodes.
*Her hair color is blue dye #56.
=== [[List of birthdays|Birthday date]] ===
Marge originally said she was born on the same day as [[Randy Quaid]], October 1.<ref>"[[Marge Gamer]]"</ref> However, Lisa showed a calendar saying her birthday was on March 19.<ref name="Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart"/> The latter was proven true at the 2015 San Francisco Comic-Con.
