Homer Simpson started as a very cool and good-looking police officer who, along with his partner Lance Kaufman, were known as the "Police Cops".

Reaction
Originally, the real Homer started getting praise from his buddies and other Springfielders, because of the connotation associated with sharing his name with a cool TV character (the original Police Cop). But after the second episode, Homer became a laughing stock. He grew increasingly annoyed and eventually had his name legally changed to "Max Power" (which he got off a hair dryer).
Traits
The recurring gag of the Homer Simpson character unintentionally walking into cacti was lifted from the real Homer, who went to see the executives of FOX when the character had been turned into a buffoon. On his exit from the boardroom, Homer walked into a cactus plant. His plea, "Please, I'm a human being. Let me have my dignity back!" was also written into an episode, said by the character after falling off a lamppost onto a cactus.[1]
Behind the Laughter
The Homer Simpson character was based on comedian Chris Farley, who made a career of playing bumbling idiots, particularly on Saturday Night Live.
