'''Homer Jay Simpson''', formerly known as '''Max Power''',<ref name="Homer to the Max"/> is the father of the Simpson family. He is an overweight, lazy, and ignorant individual, but is strongly devoted to his wife and children. His behavior is often stupid, absurd, selfish, dangerous, clumsy, idiotic, and insensitive. Despite this and his below average intelligence, he showed moments of great intellect, and can be a caring parent and husband at times.

Homer works as a low level safety inspector at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]], in [[Sector 7G]], although he is often incompetent, mostly sleeps on duty and eats donuts provided. He spends a great deal of his time at [[Moe's Tavern]] with his lifelong friends [[Barney Gumble|Barney]], [[Carl Carlson|Carl]], [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]], and bartender [[Moe Szyslak]]. At [[742 Evergreen Terrace|home]] he can often be found sitting on the sofa mindlessly watching television while snacking on food and drinking [[Duff Beer|Duff]].

[[File:Homer young.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Homer in his late teens.]]
====1950s====
Homer Jay Simpson was born as the third child of [[Abraham Simpson]], and the first (and only) child of [[Mona Simpson]] on May 12, 1951. He was raised on the Simpson farm by his parents until they 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 could 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 60s, 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 gets a letter accepting her into college. To pay for her tuition, Abe gives him a job at Simpson Lazer Tag. As well as this, along with [[Lou]], Lenny, and Carl, Homer is part of a barbershop quartet. When Marge becomes infatuated by her professor, Homer changes the band's name to [[Sadgasm]] and they invent grunge music. Marge realizes she really loves Homer, and she goes back to him.<ref>"[[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 that spins 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 could 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>"[[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]"</ref> Some time in the late 1980s, Homer drew up a budget so he could work at his dream job, a pin monkey at [[Barney Gumble|Barney's]] [[Al Gumble|uncle's]] [[Barney's Bowlarama]]. The budget included buying regular toilet paper and only one of the kids could go to college. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge became pregnant with [[Maggie Simpson|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 that occur at the plant double every year since Homer was made safety inspector,.

Homer rarely attends his job, yet hardly gets fired, and always has his job waiting for him when he wants to return. He impulsively quit occasionally to pursue other carers, 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 ===
His 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 showed surprising physical prowess and agility for a man of his stature, like when training for [[Whacking Day]] and he hits several pop-up Snakes with kicks and even back flipping. His baldness is contributed by several factors. Upon finding out when Marge was pregnant, he would tear out a substantial amount of his hair. Another contribution is working at the nuclear plant for so many years 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 could go to Heaven when he died. 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's personality is frequent stupidity, laziness, and explosive anger; one might say it is the [[Wikipedia:Average Joe|"Average Joe"]]. He also suffers from a short attention span which complements his intense but short-lived passion for hobbies, enterprises and various causes. Homer is prone to emotional outbursts; he gets very envious of his neighbors, the [[Flanders family]], is easily enraged at his son, [[Bart Simpson|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. 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 would 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"/> While Homer repeatedly upset people and caused all sorts of mayhem in [[Springfield]], these events are usually caused by either his explosive temper or lack of foresight. Except expressing annoyance at [[Ned Flanders]], Homer's actions are usually unintentional. Most of his explosive anger is targeted on Bart, because of something stupid or bad he said or did. Despite their disadvantages, these common outbursts saved Homer from dying of a pent-up rage-induced heart attack.<ref>"[[I Am Furious (Yellow)]]"</ref>

While Homer's stupid antics often upset his family, he also performed acts that reveal him to be a surprisingly loving father and husband, like selling his cherished ride on the [[Duff Blimp]] and using the money to enter Lisa in a beauty pageant so she could feel better about herself;<ref>"[[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, even though 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 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 also 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 is 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. Homer is also extremely confident; no matter how little skill or knowledge he has about anything he tries to do, he has no doubt he will 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 would 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 is 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 is, however, likely a joke or oversight on the producers' part, because someone with an IQ of 55 would be unable to look after themselves and would 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 might happen, such as 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 debated against his brain. Occasionally, a specific body part such as his 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 is 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>

Homer's 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 is 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 his [[Maude Flanders|neighbor's wife]]), even in front of Marge on occasion, but always shows his devotion to Marge in the end.

=== Religious beliefs ===
Despite attending church every Sunday, Homer is not a committed Christian, and it is likely he only attends church because he knows Marge would be hurt and shocked if he did not. He does not seem to practice Christian morals and frequently sleeps in church, much to the annoyance of [[Reverend Lovejoy]]. He often mispronounces the name of [[Jesus Christ|Christ]], calling him "Jebus".

Homer actually met [[God]] face to face several times and even got permission from him in a dream to skip church.<ref>"[[Homer the Heretic]]"</ref><ref>"[[Thank God It's Doomsday]]"</ref>

=== Alter egos ===
Homer became a superhero named [[Pieman]] when The Rich Texan makes 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 the alias was Spanish for homosexual.<ref>"[[Large Marge]]"</ref>[[File:Simple Simpson promo.jpg|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's skills seem to vary greatly. Sometimes Homer can find it difficult to run to smallest distance before passing out from exhaustion, to exceeding the prowess of gold medal Olympians. At other times he can have trouble understanding the simplest of concepts to being able to build a functional robot with a working A.I.

One skill that remains somewhat constant throughout the series is his musical talent. Homer can play the guitar amazingly well and is an accomplished singer and songwriter. He has been part of several bands, all extremely popular. He won a Grammy for barbershop, numerous golden records for [[Sadgasm|his grunge band]], a music style he also invented, and was able to help Lisa win a music contest using songs he wrote for her.

Like Bart, Homer also displays the ability to pick up languages fairly quickly. 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.

=== Health ===
Homer is 40, overweight and so unhealthy his life expectancy is only 42.

Homer, while varying in physical ability from episode to episode, has been consistently portrayed as a binge drinking, over eating, accident prone dare devil who puts absolutely no thought into what his actions will cost him, all of which made it impossible to get any form of insurance which concerns his health.

Homer is 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 could 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 would 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>

Homer 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 could 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.

Another theory is Homer's hair was once squirted with some kind of acid, thus causing permanent hair loss.{{Fact}}

It was once shown Homer gradually lost his hair over time.<ref name="Eternal Moonshine"/>

== Relationships ==
=== Romantic ===
Despite being married to [[Marge Simpson|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 Homer's Vegas wife Homer accidentally married in [[Viva Ned Flanders|Las Vegas]].<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 high school. 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, and they knew Homer back in their childhood.<ref>"[[The Blunder Years]]"</ref><ref>"[[The Way We Weren't]]"</ref>

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
=== Future ===
In 8 years from now, 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>

=== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===
{{Main|Homer Simpson/Tapped Out}}

== 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 ''[[Wikipedia:The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show|Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'', 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 [[Wikipedia:Walter Matthau|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 [[Wikipedia:Jimmy Finlayson|James Finlayson's]] annoyed "Dooooh" in [[Wikipedia:Laurel and Hardy|Laurel and Hardy films]] and other comedy shorts. This modern interjection found enough popular acceptance to be included in the [[Wikipedia:Oxford English Dictionary|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 [[wikipedia: Winnipeg|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 [[wikipedia:TV Guide|TV Guide's]] 2002 Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters, behind [[wikipedia: Bugs Bunny|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.

[[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 ==
*His social security number is 568-47-0008.
*His blood type is B positive.
*His earmuff size is XL.
*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.
*It's implied in "[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]" Homer's bloodstream has a continuous regulation of radioactivity, as Dr. Hibbert was explaining to Marge Simpson they injected Homer with a Radioactive Dye to see his circulatory system from an X-ray until he learns the nurse hadn't even injected the dye yet (resulting in Hibbert saying "good lord" in a shocked manner).
*He seems to be almost exactly the same as [[Peter Griffin]], who appears in Family Guy, which premiered 10 years after The Simpsons began. In "[[Treehouse of Horror XIII]]", one of his clones was [[Peter Griffin]].
*Homer owns the [[Denver Broncos]], despite wanting to own the Dallas Cowboys.
*It is believed Homer is diabetic as mentioned in "That '90s Show". However if this was true, Homer would most likely be dead because he has never been seen taking insulin and the amount of food Homer eats would just ensure he would already be dead by the point the episode "That '90s Show" was shown.
*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.
*Homer is 5'11" tall and his shoe size is 11 1/2. He also weighs 240 pounds.<ref>[[MythBusters|''The Simpsons MythBusters'' special]]</ref>
*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>)

:I wouldn't release the information on the wiki unless I was 100% sure of it. And to me, getting info directly from Al Jean is the best source we can have, better than other people's tweets, news sites etc. How much false info have we posted? Very little. And if a mistake is made, it's usually not our fault, it's because of news sites reporting stuff. i.e. Dan Fouts came from The Futon Critic. Turned out to be wrong. It's not like all these sites can be trusted 100%. I've posted a reply there anyway (turns out I have an account. lol) So hopefully that'll make them happy. If not, well, we're happy with the source so that's all that matters. And I know it's 100% accurate.

== Episode Number after TGP ==
Hi Solar. Now that "The Great Phatsby" has aired, we should consider it as one episode or two episodes (pt1 & pt2)? I'm asking you 'cause FOX considered TGP "one" episode (S28E12), though it has 2 production episodes (WABF04/05). What do you think? This is basically because I don't know how to update the "Epnumber", "Episode credits" and "Mostrecentep" templates in [[:Category:Frequently updated templates]]. Should we consider FOX aired two episodes tonight that happened to be the two parts of a story? / [[User:Loco87|'''Loco87''']] ([[User talk:Loco87|'''TALK''']] / [[Special:Contributions/Loco87|Contribs]]) 21:19, January 15, 2017 (EST)

::::Cool thanks! [[User:LetsPlayNintendoITA|LetsPlayNintendoITA]] 08:50, January 16, 2017 (EST)
:::::Ok. I assume that part one starts when the "episode" starts and ends with the scene before narrator Homer says sth like "Fitzgerald never said anything about second parts on american TV shows" ('cause that is right half the full episode). I think that we have to treat the two parts as different episodes (e.g. Praline only appears in part two, so Taraji P. Henson should only be listed as guest star in part two; there's a harry potter reference at the end of part one, so it should only be on part one's references page; ...).

== Milhouse / Wonder Years ==
I've been looking for more references to ''The Wonder Years'', and one thing that keeps coming up is that [[Milhouse]] was designed as a caricature of ''Wonder Years'' character Paul Pfeiffer (best friend of main character Kevin Arnold), and in fact we have that on Milhouse's article. Do we have an official source for that anyplace? It would certainly be appropriate for the ''Wonder Years'' references article (under construction in my sandbox), but I'd feel better about including it if it were properly sourced. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 10:14, July 21, 2017 (EDT)
:I went ahead and finished the ''[[The Wonder Years|Wonder Years]]'' article and put it into the mainspace without any mention of the Milhouse / Pfeiffer resemblance, as it already had enough material to warrant an article.

----
Google is your friend; you just have to ask it the right questions. I searched for "Milhouse caricature of Paul Pfeiffer" (without the quotes), and I found some documentation of [[David Silverman]] shooting down the notion of Milhouse being designed as a caricature of Paul Pfeiffer.
* Story I first saw in the Google search results: [http://rubbercat.net/simpsons/news/2011/10/milhouse-couldve-starred-in-a-saturday-morning-cartoon.html]
* Tweet from Silverman (cited in the above story): [https://twitter.com/tubatron/status/123063609730408448]
I think it's worth leaving the picture and speculation in Milhouse's article, but make sure it's only mentioned in the BtL section. Even though it's not true, it '''is''' part of the (real-life) history of the character. But we should add the refutation from Silverman and document it with the link to the tweet. The Web is so rife with references to the Milhouse/Pfeiffer resemblance being intentional that it's practically a meme, and it's possible that some folks may be upset to see it busted. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 13:21, August 12, 2017 (EDT)

== Article for Hawkeye Pierce? ==
With all the digging I've been doing into ''M*A*S*H'' and ''The Simpsons'', I'm thinking we should make an article for Hawkeye Pierce. We actually have as much canon information for Hawkeye (including an image) as we do for [[Max Klinger]], and the Klinger article survived a fairly spirited round of deletion discussion, IIRC.

== Lenny Kravitz photo ==
As you might have gathered, I've been working on the common cast and crew between ''The Simspons'' and ''The Hunger Games'' (no more creating redlinks, I promise :-) ) and I've noticed that our article for [[Lenny Kravitz]] (real-life) doesn't have a photo. Is there some reason why we can't use his photo from Wikipedia? The permissions info on that photo says that it needs to be attributed to the photographer if it's used outside Wikimedia, which doesn't strike me as being much of a problem. Or is there some other issue that I'm not noticing? If it turns out there's no problem with our using the photo, I'm willing to add it and make sure the photographer gets due credit. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 23:48, October 4, 2017 (EDT)
:We removed the photo we had a while ago as we received an email from someone who was representing Lenny Kravitz and asked us to take down the image or face consequences. As a result, it would be best if we don't have an image of him on the wiki. It's stupid and it sucks, but I don't want to risk anything bad happening, so it would be for the best we leave the page imageless.
:As for the red links, that's not the issue. Every credited person has an article. If they're not credited, we don't give them an article, unless they work on many episodes and there's a decent source to show they did. IMDb can be edited by anyone and I've often found incorrect information on IMDb, although I do my best to correct it if I do, or add that the people are uncredited etc. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 06:06, October 5, 2017 (EDT)

==Catchphrases==
Isn't catch phrases the same as favorite phrases?

Basicaly. All Barts catchphrases (Eat My Shorts, Aye Carumba, I Didn't do it) were Bart's common phrases, but Aye Carumba and I Didn't Do It were both hated. Bart hints in episode [[Behind the Laughter]] that he never has said "Aye Carumba" in his life (Which was his first word :D), and it would suck to use it in Homer's script.
In episode [[Bart Star]] Bart starts to wear out "I Didn't do it" and results in anger against the phrase. [[User:Corpsmancupcake]]

==Jojo==
How was Bart's middle name established? [[User:64.229.151.51|64.229.151.51]] 07:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

When asked what the J. in Bartholomew J. Simpson stood for, Nancy Cartwrite said it stood for Jojo.
Later on in the series, it was used frequently, and it stuck. [[User:Corpsmancupcake]].

Bart was also born on April 1, 1984; he is also 10 years old. {{UnsignedIP|79.75.98.65|17:49, May 16, 2010}}

==Bart Simpson Jr.==
This section needs a source if not I will remove it.[[User:Dr. Ralph Wiggum|Dr. Ralph Wiggum]] 13:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Believe it or not, Bart had a dream that he failed the 4th grade so many times enough to end up in the same class as his son "Bart Jr." This, was just a dream and never actually occured. Later on in the episode, he passes; meaning Bart Jr. was fake.
Bart junior appears to be smarted than Bart, with shorter spikes. [[User:Corpsmancupcake]]

==Girlfriends==
There is little mention of Barts girlfriends and crushes:
Samantha Stanky,
Gina Vendetti,
Jenda,
Darcy,
Laura Powers,
Girl from the monkey suit,
Greta Wolfcastle

I can help you out:
[[Laura Powers]],
[[Jessica Lovejoy]],
[[Greta Wolfcastle]],
[[Darcy]],
[[Jenda]],
[[Gina Vendetti]],
[[Clara]] (Lightly),
[[Jenny]],
[[Nikki]].
[[User:Corpsmancupcake]]

Bart did not have a crush on Samantha Stanky nor did he ever think of her as his girlfriend. Samantha was Milhouse's girlfriend. Zen Chocolate 19:01, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

==Nelson and Barts friendship==
Bart and Nelson have a friendship that turns on and off. In [[The Debarted]], Bart claims Nelson to be his other best friend, other than Milhouse, being his best friend. And in the past, Bart and Nelson were enemies. In a bongo comic, Bart says Nelson is not a Nemesis, or Arch Enemy, he is a pain in the butt. How is this possible???

[[User:Banak|Banak]] 19:46, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Its a complex prediction mainly since Nelson is a bully to Bart, but they become warm when Bart
went to his birthday party. In [[The Debarted]] Bart predicts Nelson is a good friend and they
really hang out. But usualy they will have a fight. Once in a while they have ups and downs.
Hope I could help you -- [[User:Corpsmancupcake]]

== Red hair? ==

Can somebody point to the source[episode/other source?] when the fact, that Bart's hair are naturally red is revealed?

In episode [[No Loan Again, Naturally]] Homer forces the kids to stay inside including [[Abraham Simpson]], so they could stay in the house (Which [[Ned Flanders]] was gonna boot them out from). Without the sunlight, Bart's hair was reverting to its natural red. Hope I could help you. [[User:Corpsmancupcake]]

== Bart's evilness... how? ==

I don't pay attention to the names of the episodes but I know I have seen all of them.

In one episode it says Bart is evil because of a blood type

Another one says Bart is evil because of the way he was treated his first days of school

The last one says that Bart is evil because of a sip of beer Marge accidently drank while watching the ship "S.S. Float and shoot" on its first mission.

Which one is true?

Well, it's basically your choice. ♣[[User:FazK|Epic]] [[User talk:FazK|Faz]]♣ [[User:FazK|$FazK$]] 14:18, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

okay, so i like to mention that Bart's not evil (merely mischievous), and while all of what you mentioned above ''could'' be the reason to his ... behavior, i'd like to believe it's more because of his family life.
think about it, he has a father who's been strangling him for any type of juvenile behavior (which, as bart ''is'' juvenile, namely only 10, is a little stupid) literally ever since he was born. he has a mother who apparently sees nothing wrong with it, and a sister who's been hailed as his better ever since she was born (case in point, his family didn't find out about a bad teacher (and his first one, to be honest) until months afterwards, mainly because they were busy finding a school for a girl who didn't need to go to school for two years). he obviously seeks attention from his parents (as seen in a few episodes), and it seems to be the main reason for all his...behavior.

== Find informations ==

Hi,
when I want to find some things that Bart likes: I've to read a big text here. That's why I'm allways go to a german Simpsons Wiki Simpsonspedia. I'm not very good at German but it's much better than here .[[Special:Contributions/89.204.155.38|89.204.155.38]] 05:08, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

== Question ==

There's something I've been wondering. Why is Bart so fat? I can tell by the fat belly. I can understand Homer, mainly because he's so lazy, sleeps on the job, you get the idea. Can anyone explain to me why Bart is fat? {{UnsignedIP|71.169.17.167|16:17, January 3, 2014}}

== Future ==

So apparently you can't edit the page about bart, so I'm posting this here.
The future section didn't mention that bart will be considered a prophet of peace and understanding 1000 years in the future (it was alluded to in that episode that he became a catholic).
Please add it. (I think that would be the greatest achievement any of the simpsons did, more than homer stopping drinking, or lisa becoming a president or bart becoming chief justice) [[User:Davoid123|Davoid123]] ([[User talk:Davoid123|talk]]) 09:25, May 11, 2016 (EDT)
