In the Simpsons episode '[[Lisa the Simpson]]', it is established that [[Homer]] and [[Bart]] carry the Simpson gene, which contributes to baldness and laziness. The Simpson gene is only carried by males so [[Lisa]] and [[Maggie]] don't need to worry; as a matter of fact, from what we're shown in this episode, it seems that Simpson women in general are very successful.

Homer has an unusual condition — "Homer Simpson Syndrome" — where his brain is cushioned by an especially thick layer of fluid, acting as a helmet of sorts.

Another reason for Homer's stupidity is that a crayon was lodged into his brain when he was six. His IQ without the crayon was 105, placing him in the "average" bracket (90 to about 110, generally). However, in that episode, he was regarded as a "genius."

Mr. Sparkle (ミスタースパーコル Misutasupakoru), known in Japanese as Misutā Supākoru, is a Japanese dishwashing detergent mascot for Mr. Sparkle, who bears a strong resemblance to Homer.

While at the Springfield City Dump, Bart found a box of Mr. Sparkle detergent. He called over Homer and Lisa to look at the box, and they were all shocked that it had a picture of Homer on the front. Homer took the box to Akira at The Happy Sumo, who told Homer that it was Mr. Sparkle, and was surprised to find that the mascot looked like Homer. Homer later called the Mr. Sparkle Factory in Japan to ask why they were using his likeness on the box. He later received a videotape for American investors with a commercial for Mr. Sparkle included. The commercial started with Mr. Sparkle cleaning a dishwasher full of dishes before he went into the child's bedroom and played the toy xylophone. Mr. Sparkle then went to some dancers and told them to get out of his way as this was no place for loafers. He then told them to join him or die, and asked if they could do any less. The dancers then called Mr. Sparkle a brave corporate logo and accepted the challenge of Mr. Sparkle. One of the dancers then said "awesome power!" Mr. Sparkle then blew detergent at them, which turned the girls into sumo wrestlers. He then went to a reporter, who was interviewing a two-headed cow. Mr. Sparkle shattered the cow into pieces. Mr. Sparkle then told the viewer to use Mr. Sparkle for lucky best wash.
