- "This may be more effort than it's worth, but welcome anyway to The Lazy Hall of Fame."
- ―Homer Simpson
The Lazy Hall of Fame is Homer Simpson's list of people he deems to be notable for their contributions to the "lazy ethic", that is, living a lifestyle built around exerting the least possible amount of effort. For each member, Homer gives his reasoning for including them in the Hall of Fame.

Reason for Inclusion

Chief Slips-On-Shoes
|
Although the original occupants of the North American continent were known to be hard workers, they did give us moccasins, which were the inspiration for loafers. When I think of the hours I've saved by not having to tie my shoes, I just want to hug an Indian.

Jesse W. Reno, Inventor of the Escalator
|
Stairs were a great invention for getting people up a hill without too much sweat, but stairs have had their day. When Jesse Reno developed his "Endless Conveyor" in 1892, the world responded by saying, "Stairs are for suckers! We're riding that thing where the stairs move and you just stand there!" Later, someone came up with the less awkward name, "Escalator". (That guy doesn't get to be in the Hall of Fame, but we thank him anyway.)

|
Robert Mills, Architect of the Washington Monument
|
I've never seen anyone put so little thought and effort into designing a monument. It looks nothing like George Washington! And I imagine he got a lot of money for it, too. Way to go, Mills!

|
Superman/Clark Kent
|
Supposedly, secret identities are one of the most important things to consider when you're thinking about becoming a superhero. Instead of coming up with an elaborate mask, Clark Kent decided, "Eh, I'll just take off my glasses." For a guy that has more super strength than anyone, that's pretty darned lazy. And don't get me started on the phone booth thing.
|
|
Joseph Pedott, Inventor of The Clapper
|
Much precious energy has been saved the world over because people no longer have to reach over and turn out the light. Thanks to this man, reaching is a thing of the past, and all we have to do is clap. Well, I clap for you, Joseph Pedott! I clap for y—Hey, who turned out the lights?

|
The Unknown Teamster
|
This pioneering union member may not have been the first person to utter the words, "I don't get paid to do that", but he was the first to have union goons backing him up.
