−	'''''Homer Jay Simpson''''' is the father of the [[Simpson family]] and the main protagonist of the series and movie. He is bald, overweight, lazy, and not very smart. Homer's behavior is often absurd, selfish, dangerous, short-tempered, clumsy, idiotic, insensitive, and easily frustrated. However, he has shown moments of great intellect, and can be a caring parent and husband at times. Over the years, Homer has evolved into an iconic symbol, recognized and understood by millions of misunderstood fathers across the globe.

−	== Background ==	+	'''Homer Jay Simpson''' is the father of the [[Simpson family]]; he is overweight, lazy, and not too bright. His behavior is often absurd, selfish, dangerous, clumsy, idiotic, and insensitive. However, he has shown moments of great intellect, and can be a caring parent and husband at times. Over the years, he has evolved into an iconic symbol, recognized and understood by millions of misunderstood fathers across the globe.
−	Homer was born on May 9 1960. He was raised on the Simpson's farm by his parents, [[Mona Simpson|Mona]] and [[Abraham Simpson|Abe]]. In the mid-1960s, while Homer was between nine and twelve years of age, Mona went into hiding following a run-in with the law. Homer attended [[Springfield High School]] and fell in love with [[Marge Bouvier]] in 1974. After high school, Homer and Marge bought an apartment at Springfield Place. Marge gets a letter accepting her into college. To pay for the tuition, Homer's dad gives him a job at Simpson Lazer tag. Meanwhile, he has a band on the side that's like a barbershop quartet. When Marge becomes infatuated by her professor, Homer turns his band into a grunge band. Marge realizes who she really loves, and goes back to Homer. After college, Marge became pregnant with [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] in 1982, while Homer was working at [[Sir Putts-A-Lot]], turning the crank that spins the windmill. The two were wed 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's House. After failing to get a job at the newly built Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Homer left Marge to find a job by which he could support his family. He briefly worked at a Taco restaurant called [[Gulp 'n' Blow]], until Marge found him and convinced him to return. As a result, Homer confronted [Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns] and secured a job at the Plant. Marge became pregnant with [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] in 1984, shortly before the new couple bought their first house. Homer saw brief success as the lead singer and songwriter for the barbershop quartet the [[Be-Sharps]], even winning a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award Grammy]. 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. Some time in the late 1980s, Homer and Marge carefully budgeted so Homer could work at his dream job, as a pin monkey at [[Al Gumble|Barney's uncle's]] [[Barney's Bowl-O-Rama|Bowl-O-Rama]]. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge became pregnant with [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] in 1992, shortly after he started his new job, and not being able to support his family, he went back to the Nuclear Plant. Since then Homer has started many [[List_of_Homer%27s_Jobs|jobs]], including going to Outer Space, but has ended up back where he began at the Nuclear Plant. He once almost caused the destruction of Springfield, after polluting the Springfield Lake with his new pet [[Plopper pig]]'s waste. He stopped Mr. Burns' Nuclear bus company and saved his town from a Zombie invasion.

−	== Personality ==	+	=== Future ===
−	Homer's personality is one of frequent stupidity, laziness, and explosive anger; one might say it is that of the [[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]], and is easily enraged at his son, [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], and strangles him in an exaggerated manner (His trademark phrase to strangling Bart, "Why you Little...!" is implied to have been "Why you little bastard!" in "[[Wedding For Disaster]]"). He also spanks Bart sometimes and, in one case, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]]. 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, such as leaving Bart alone at a port, or allowing Bart to go 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 ("[[The Simpsons Movie]]") While Homer has 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 for 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 had said or done. Despite their disadvantages, these common outbursts save Homer from dying of a pent-up rage-induced heart attack.	+	Homer blew the family savings on an underwater house, causing Marge to leave homer. She began dating [[Krusty the Clown]], and Homer fought him to win her back. He was beaten up, and Marge got back together with him.
−	While Homer's stupid antics often upset his family, he has also performed acts that reveal him to be a surprisingly loving father and husband, such as 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; giving up his chance at wealth to allow [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie] to keep a cherished teddy bear; spearheading an attempt to dig Bart out after he had fallen down a well, even though Homer hates doing physical labor, and arranging a surprise second wedding with [[Marge Simpson|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.	+	[[File:Homer The Moe.jpg|thumb|Homer can be very violent at times.]]
−	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]]. He has also stolen golf balls from the local driving range, office supplies (including computers) from work, and beer mugs from [[Moe's Tavern]]. 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 that he will be successful. However, his brief periods of intelligence are overshadowed by much longer and more consistent periods of ignorance, forgetfulness and stupidity.	+	=== Jobs Homer has had ===
		+	For a more detailed list, see [[List of Homer's Jobs|here]] .
		+	When first joining the Power Plant, Homer had a nameless job handling plutonium at [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. Which was later moved up to being the safety inspector for sector 7-G.
−	Homer has a low IQ due to many factors: his hereditary "[[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 implies in "[[Grampa vs Sexual Inadequacy]]" that he would have been at least a bit smarter, if not by a substantial amount, if his father had tried to give him encouragement rather than beat him down. 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 that of 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. This IQ score is, however, likely a joke or oversight on the producers' part, as 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 that his IQ was boasted to 135-155.	+	Due to frequent absences from his job, through being fired, needing a second job or impulsively quitting to pursue a different career out of the blue, Homer has had hundreds of jobs.
−	Homer has 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, such as daydreaming of Germany as "[[The Land of Chocolate]]".	+	=== Personality ===
−	Homer's attitudes toward woman, 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]], but ended up not wanting to. He has 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.	+	[[File:bartyytt.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Homer strangles Bart.]]

−	Despite attending church every Sunday, Homer is not a committed Christian, and it is likely that he only attends church because he knows that Marge would be hurt and shocked if he did not.

−	Homer obtained the superpower to eat anything from people to walls after a nuclear explosion, and named himself The Ingestible Bulk. Homer has also become [[Pieman]] when The Rich Texan laughed at Lisa: He would chuck pies in the faces of bad guys, used the basement as a Pie Cave and renamed his car the Piemobile. Bart was his sidekick as [[Cupcake Kid]].
−	== Skills ==	+	=== Religious Beliefs ===
−	Although Homer suffers from extreme stupidity, chronic laziness, rage and weight problems (partly due to the Simpson gene) he still possess's great skill in certain area's. He has proven himself to be a highly talented singer/songwriter from his day's in a barber shop quartertet, to becoming a multiple gold album winning grunge player, even writing song's for Lisa which allowed her to get to the finals of a local talant compitition and can sing opera amazingly when lying down. He's also shown to be able to play guitar, harmonica, drum and piano skillfully. Like Bart he can alsospeak Japanese fluently and is fluent in a number of other advanced languages. Despite his size he has also shown to be highly athletic at times such as in [http://images.wikia.com/wiki/Sex,_Pies_and_Idiot_Scrapes Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes] or a decent bare fisted brawler. Homer can also ride a horse with incredible skill to the point where he can make it jump and land safely on a pillier a number of feet in the air and that's just the start. Also he is quite brave when he needs to be which is not technically a skill but its true, although he can be a bit of a chicken, when it comes to it he will even risk his life if he has to.	+	Despite attending church every Sunday, Homer is not a committed Christian, and it is likely that he only attends church because he knows that Marge would be hurt and shocked if he did not.

−	== Health ==	+	Homer has met [[God]] face to face in the episode [[Thank God It's Doomsday]] and has had many other encounters with him too.
−	It's nothing short of a miracle that Homer isn't dead many times over, let alone almost completely healthy.
−	To start with, his diet is beyond horrible. Homer eats almost constantly, Marge once commenting that he even eats while brushing his teeth. Able to eat many times more than anyone could, Homer can gorge for hours on end yet still be hungry when there's no more food to eat. It's not just the quantity but the quality, or lack of to be precise. Homer will only eat fatty foods and food he knows is bad for him, avoiding health food like the plague, and would sooner eat an eclair full of poison than eat one low in fat. The apparent reason for his overeating is that his mother was never there for him, leaving a void he tried to fill with food. His hatred of health food and love of fat resulted in his first heart attack.	+	=== Alter ego ===

−	He's been in accidents, fights and just general injury inducing incidents in almost every episode, resulting in injuries ranging from bruises and bumps to broken bones and minor brain damage.	+	Although Homer suffers from extreme stupidity, chronic laziness, rage and weight problems (partly due to the Simpson gene) he still possess's great skill in certain area's.

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 then made his debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April, 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short] "[[Good Night]]". Homer's middle initial "J", which was revealed to stand for "Jay", was a "tribute" to Bullwinkle J.

Homer Jay Simpson File:222px-Homer Simpson 2006.png

Character Information Gender: Male Status: Unknown Age: 38 Hair: Brown Occupation: Nuclear Safety Inspector Relatives: Parents: Abraham and Mona Simpson Wife: Marge Bouvier Ex-wife: Amber Simpson Children: Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson Half-siblings: Herb Powell and Abbie Grandparents: Orville J. Simpson and Yuma Hickman First appearance: Good Night Voiced by: Dan Castellaneta v • d • e • h

Homer Jay Simpson is the father of the Simpson family; he is overweight, lazy, and not too bright. His behavior is often absurd, selfish, dangerous, clumsy, idiotic, and insensitive. However, he has shown moments of great intellect, and can be a caring parent and husband at times. Over the years, he has evolved into an iconic symbol, recognized and understood by millions of misunderstood fathers across the globe.

Homer works as a low level safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, in Sector 7G, although "working" in this case refers largely to dozing and eating doughnuts. He spends a great deal of his time at Moe's Tavern with his lifelong friends Barney, Carl, Lenny, and bartender Moe. At home he can often be found sitting on the sofa mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking Duff.

Biography

Homer was born on May 9 1960. He was raised on a Simpsons farm by his parents, Mona and Abe. In the mid-1960s, while Homer was between nine and twelve years of age, Mona went into hiding following a run-in with the law. Homer attended Springfield High School and fell in love with Marge Bouvier in 1974. ^[1] After high school, Homer and Marge bought an apartment at Springfield Place. Marge gets a letter accepting her into college. To pay for the tuition, Homer's dad gives him a job at Simpson Lazer tag. Meanwhile, he has a band on the side that's like a barbershop quartet. When Marge becomes infatuated by her professor, Homer turns his band into a grunge band. Marge realizes who she really loves, and goes back to Homer. ^[2] After college, Marge became pregnant with Bart in 1982, while Homer was working at Sir Putts-A-Lot, turning the crank that spins the windmill. The two were wed in Shotgun Pete's 24 Hour Wedding Chapel, a small wedding chapel across the state line ^[3].They spent their wedding reception alone at a truck stop, before ending up at the Bouvier's House. After failing to get a job at the newly built Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Homer left Marge to find a job by which he could support his family. He briefly worked at a taco restaurant called the Gulp 'n' Blow, until Marge found him and convinced him to return. As a result, Homer confronted Mr. Burns and secured a job at the Plant. Marge became pregnant with Lisa in 1984, shortly before the new couple bought their first house. ^[4] Homer saw brief success as the lead singer and songwriter for the barbershop quartet the Be-Sharps, even winning a Grammy. 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.^[5] Some time in the late 1980s, Homer and Marge carefully budgeted so Homer could work at his dream job, a pin monkey at Barney's uncle's Barney's Bowl-O-Rama. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge became pregnant with Maggie in 1992, shortly after he started his new job, and not being able to support his family, he went back to the Nuclear Plant.^[6] Since then Homer has started many jobs, including going to Outer Space, but has ended up back where he began at the Nuclear Plant. He once almost caused the destruction of Springfield, after polluting the Springfield Lake with his new pet pig (and his) waste. ^[7]. He stopped Burns nucleur bus company ^[8] and saved his town from a Zombie invasion.^[9]

Future

Homer blew the family savings on an underwater house, causing Marge to leave homer. She began dating Krusty the Clown, and Homer fought him to win her back. He was beaten up, and Marge got back together with him.

Jobs Homer has had

For a more detailed list, see here . When first joining the Power Plant, Homer had a nameless job handling plutonium at Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Which was later moved up to being the safety inspector for sector 7-G.

Due to frequent absences from his job, through being fired, needing a second job or impulsively quitting to pursue a different career out of the blue, Homer has had hundreds of jobs.

Personality

Homer's personality is one of frequent stupidity, laziness, and explosive anger; one might say it is that of the "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, and is easily enraged at his son, Bart, and strangles him in an exaggerated manner (His trademark phrase to strangling Bart, "Why you Little...!" is implied to have been "Why you little bastard!" in Wedding For Disaster). He also spanks Bart sometimes and, in one case, Lisa. 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, such as leaving Bart alone at a port^[10], or allowing Bart to go 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 (The Simpsons Movie) While Homer has 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 for 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 had said or done. Despite their disadvantages, these common outbursts save Homer from dying of a pent-up rage-induced heart attack.^[11]

While Homer's stupid antics often upset his family, he has also performed acts that reveal him to be a surprisingly loving father and husband, such as 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^[12] ; giving up his chance at wealth to allow Maggie to keep a cherished teddy bear^[13]; spearheading an attempt to dig Bart out after he had fallen down a well, even though Homer hates doing physical labor^[14] and arranging a surprise second wedding with Marge to make up for their 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.^[15]

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 has also stolen golf balls from the local driving range, office supplies (including computers) from work, and beer mugs from Moe's Tavern.

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 that 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", his alcohol problem, exposure to radioactive waste, repetitive cranial trauma, and the crayon lodged in the frontal lobe of his brain. He also implies in "Grampa vs Sexual Inadequacy" that he would have been at least a bit smarter, if not by a substantial amount, if his father had tried to give him encouragement rather than beat him down. 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 that of 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.^[16] This IQ score is, however, likely a joke or oversight on the producers' part, as 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 intellergence he showed it's much more likely that his IQ was boasted to 135-155.

Homer has 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 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, such as daydreaming of Germany as "the land of chocolate".^[17][18]

Homer's attitudes toward woman, 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^[19], but ended up not wanting to. He has made the occasional remark denoting his attraction to other women (including his neighbor's wife), even in front of Marge on a 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 that he only attends church because he knows that 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.

Homer has met God face to face in the episode Thank God It's Doomsday and has had many other encounters with him too.

Alter ego

Homer has obatained a super power before when he became The Ingestible Bulk after a nuclear explosion, his powers are that he's able to eat anything from people to walls. Homer has also become Pieman when The Rich Texan laughed at Lisa, he chucks pies in the faces of bad guys, uses the basement as a Pie Cave and his car as the Piemobile. Bart is his sidekick as Cupcake Kid^[20]

Skills and abilities

Although Homer suffers from extreme stupidity, chronic laziness, rage and weight problems (partly due to the Simpson gene) he still possess's great skill in certain area's. He has proven himself to be a highly talented singer/songwriter from his day's in a barber shop quartertet, to becoming a multiple gold album winning grunge player, even writing song's for Lisa which allowed her to get to the finals of a local talant compitition and can sing opera amazingly when lying down. He's also shown to be able to play guitar, harmonica, drum and piano skillfully. Like Bart he can also speak Japanese fluently and is fluent in a number of other advanced languages. Despite his size he has also shown to be highly athletic at times such as in Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes or a decent bare fisted brawler. Homer can also ride a horse with incredible skill to the point where he can make it jump and land safely on a pillier a number of feet in the air and that's just the start. Also he is quite brave when he needs to be which is not technically a skill but its true, although he can be a bit of a chicken, when it comes to it he will even risk his life if he has to.

Relationships

Romantic

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

Marge Simpson

Homer Simpson 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 have had three weddings. The first was before the show, second was in A Milhouse Divided (which turned out to be invalid and the third in Wedding For Disaster. The two have a very strong marriage which has survived cheating, amnesia and many arguments. They have been in love since high school.

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 conventions together and nearly had affair.

Lurleen Lumpkin

A waitress who Homer helped in launching a successful singning career. She attempted to seduce him with no success. She's been married multiple times to men that all look like Homer.

Amber

Amber was Homer's vegas wife who Homer accidentally married in Las Vegas. They managed to get her drunk and made her belive she marriued Abe which made her run back to Vegas.

Julia

When Homer becomes a famous Opera singer he attracts the attention of horde of fans including a stalker by the name of Julia. She confesses to Homer that she is his to do with as he wants, becoming his personnel assistant and attempting to seduce him at every turn. When he proclaims that his heart belongs to Marge she attempts to kill him with no success.

Friendship

Barney Gumble

Barney Gumble is one of Homer's best friends . They have been best friends since high school. Homer was the one who convinced him to become an alcoholic.

Character

Creation

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. 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 then made his debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April, 1987 in the Tracey Ullman short "Good Night". Homer's middle initial "J", which was revealed to stand for "Jay",^[21] was a "tribute" to Bullwinkle J. Moose from Rocky and Bullwinkle, a show Matt Groening loved as a child.^[22]

According to Matt Groening, the whole family was designed so that they would be recognizable in silhouette.^[23] However, the features of Homer's character design are not used in other characters.^[24]

Voice

Homer's voice sounds different on the shorts than the later half-hour show. 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.^[25] 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.^[26] During an interview with the cast of the show on Inside the Actors Studio, Castellaneta stated that Homer's voice was based in part on his own father who often spoke with an exuberant tone.

Catchphrase

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

He also popularized the catchphrase "Mmm...". This debuted in 7G04- There's No Disgrace Like Home. Many examples of other mmm...s are Mmm...candy from 1F03, Mmm...pointy from 3F15 and Mmm...hug from BABF22. He has used it less and less since Season 8.

Reception

On May 30, 2003, Homer was made an honorary citizen of Winnipeg, Canada, in recognition of Matt Groening's father Homer Groening, who is believed to be from the Manitoba capital.^[27]

Homer placed second on TV Guide's 2002 Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters, behind Bugs Bunny.^[28] In 2005, Homer was listed fifth on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters, one of only four cartoon characters on that list.^[29] British TV viewers voted him as the greatest TV character of all time. ^[30] In 2007, Entertainment Weekly placed Homer ninth on their list of the "50 Greatest TV icons".^[31]

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".^[32] 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 Simpson syndrome

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".^[33] Results from a word memory test showed that 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.^[33]

Merchandising

Major Merchandising

Homer's inclusion in many Simpsons publications, toys, and other merchandise is evidence of his enduring popularity. He has 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.
• In one episode he was the only character in the show to say bullshit but "shit" was censored by a honk sound
• It's implied in Homer's Triple Bypass that Homer's bloodstream has a continuous regulation of radioactivity, as Dr. Hibbert was explaining to Marge Simpson that they injected Homer with a Radioactive Dye to see his circulatory system from an X-ray until he learns that the nurse hadn't even injected the dye yet (resulting in Hibbert saying "good lord" in a shocked manner).
• He seems to be almost the exact same as Peter Griffin.In Treehouse of Horror XIII,one of his clones was Peter Griffin.
• Homer owns the Denver Broncos.
• It is believed that Homer is diabetic as mentioned in "That 90's 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 that Homer eats would just ensure that would already be dead by the point the episode "That 90's show" was shown.
