When [[Dan Castellaneta]],Homer's voice actor, was first asked to voice the exclamation, he rendered it as a drawn out "doooh", inspired by Jimmy Finlayson, the moustached Scottish actor who appeared in many Laurel and Hardy films.

The show's creator [[Matt Groening]] felt that it would better suit the timing of animation if it were spoken faster so Castellaneta shortened it to "D'oh!"

It was first heard on a Tracey Ullman Show short entitled "[[Punching Bag]]", which aired  on November 27, 1988.

The next occasion it was heard was in the first episodes of The Simpsons, "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]", airing on December 17, 1989.
 
 
 
Variations of the catchphrase have been heard in numerous episodes, suiting a different situation, examples include [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire|"Ho-ho-d'oh!"]],[[Bart of Darkness|"D'oheth!"]],[[Thirty Minutes over Tokyo|"shimatta-baka-ni"]] and [[The Simpsons Movie|"D'oooooooooooooome!!"]].
 
 
 
Many episodes have also use (annoyed grunt) in their titles, because d'oh didn't originally have an official spelling, such as [[Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious]] and [[I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot]], but other use the shortened term d'oh, such as [[C.E. D'oh]] and [[D'oh-in' in the Wind]].  
 
 
 
The term d'oh was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2002, with the definition:''”Expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also (usu. mildly derogatory) implying that another person has said or done something foolish (Duh).”''
