'''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 Gumble|Barney]], [[Carl Carlson|Carl]], [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]], and bartender [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]]. At [[742 Evergreen Terrace|home]] he can often be found sitting on the sofa mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking [[Duff Beer|Duff]].
 
 
 
 
 
==Biography==
 
[[Image:Young Homer.png|thumb|left|175px|Homer in his late teens.]]
 
Homer was born on May 12, 1956. He was raised on a [[Simpsons Farm|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 [[Burns Germ Warfare Labertory|following a run-in]] with the [[Springfield Police|law]].  Homer attended [[Springfield High School]] and fell in love with [[Marge Bouvier]] in 1969. <ref>[[The Way We Was]]</ref> Marge became pregnant with [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] in 1977, while Homer was working at [[Sir Putts-A-Lot|a miniature golf course]], 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]] <ref>[[I Married Marge]]</ref>.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 Simpson|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 [[Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]] and secured a job at the Plant.<ref> Marge became pregnant with [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] in 1979, shortly before the new couple bought their first house. In 1985 and 1986, 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, pin monkey at [[Barney Gumble|Barney's]] [[Al Gumble|uncle's]] [[Bowl-O-Rama]]. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge became pregnant with [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] shortly after he started his new job, and not being able to support his family, he went back to the Nuclear Plant.
 
 
 
According to comments on ''The Simpsons'' DVD commentaries by the writers and producers, Homer's age was initially 34, but as the writers aged, they found that he seemed a bit older too, so they changed his age to 36.
 
 
 
===Personality===
 
[[Image:bartyytt.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Homer strangles Bart. He usually says "Why you little" when strangling Bart.]]
 
Homer's personality is one of frequent stupidity, laziness, and explosive anger; one might say it is that of the [[Wikipedia: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. 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 seen in "[[The Great Money Caper]]". 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, in "[[I Am Furious Yellow]]", these common outbursts save Homer from dying of a pent-up rage-induced heart attack.
 
 
 
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: in "[[Lisa the Beauty Queen]]", selling his cherished ride on the Duff blimp and using the money to enter [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] in a beauty pageant so she could feel better about herself; in "[[Rosebud]]", giving up his chance at wealth to allow [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] to keep a cherished teddy bear; in "[[Radio Bart]]", spearheading an attempt to dig Bart out after he had fallen down a well, even though Homer generally hates doing physical labor; and in "[[A Milhouse Divided]]", 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 [[Wikipedia: The Doobie Brothers|The Doobie Brothers]] as part of the wedding band and getting a divorce from Marge, essentially making their second wedding a "real" one. However, in one episode, while driving Bart and Lisa to school, he abandoned them to win a $20 prize from a radio station.
 
 
 
Homer tends to derive amusement from the misfortune of others. He is a chronic petty thief and borderline kleptomaniac, stealing from [[Ned Flanders]] everything from TV trays to power tools and air conditioners, even an entire room of the Flanders' house (Flanders knows about this, though, but Homer constantly says that he "borrowed" those things, and even compares a stolen weed hacker to Flanders losing his wife: "It's gone, now..."). He has also stolen golf balls from the local driving range, office supplies (including computers) from work, and beer mugs from [[Moe's Tavern]].
 
[[Category: Ullman Shorts Characters]]
 
[[Image:0000034336_20061020191519.jpg|150px|left|thumb|nail|Homer holding a doughnut]]
 
Homer has a vacuous mind, but he is still able to retain a great amount of knowledge about very specific subjects. He shows short bursts of astonishing insight, memory, creativity and fluency with many languages in nearly every episode. 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|"Simpson Gene"]], which is shown in "[[Lisa the Simpson]]", his alcohol problem, exposure to radioactive waste, repetitive cranial trauma, and in "[[HOMR]]" we learn that there is a crayon lodged in the frontal lobe of his brain. 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 in that episode, further implying that the crayon is the main reason for his stupidity), but he went back to his old self when he had it reinserted, presumably lowering his IQ back down to its original 55.
 
 
 
Some episodes suggest that Homer's normal functions do not require the use of his brain, as Homer has at times debated against it. 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|"the land of chocolate"]].
 
 
 
Homer's attitudes toward woman, romance, and sex are occasionally explored. 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 has successfully had an affair with [[Mindy Simmons]], but has made the occasional remark denoting his attraction to other women (including the gag about coveting his [[Maude Flanders|neighbor's wife]]), even in front of Marge on a occasion.
 
 
 
==Future==
 
In the future 2010, Homer built an addition to [[742 Evergreen Terrace|the house]]. He still works at his same position at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|power plant]]. Even [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] outranks him. He has a robotic prostate, which can be visibly seen. In between 2010 and 2013, Homer blew the family savings on an underwater house, causing Marge to leave him. 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.
 
 
 
==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|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.<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news|title=Matt Groening|author=Sadownick, Doug|publisher=Advocate, Issue 571|date=[[1991-02-26]]}}</ref><ref name="americasfirstfamily"/> 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]]".<ref>Richmond, Ray; Antonia Coffman (1997). The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to our Favorite Family. Harper Collins Publishers, pg. 14. ISBN 0-00-638898-1</ref> Homer's middle initial "J", which was revealed to stand for "Jay",<ref>''[[The Simpsons]]'' "[[D'oh-in in the Wind]]" November 15, 1998</ref> was a "tribute" to Bullwinkle J. Moose from [[Wikipedia:The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show|''Rocky and Bullwinkle'']], a show Matt Groening loved as a child.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/interviews/groening/page9.shtml|title=J is for Jay|accessdate=2007-06-12|publisher=[[BBC]]}}</ref>
 
 
 
According to Matt Groening, the whole family was designed so that they would be recognizable in silhouette.<ref>{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt; Al Jean, Mike Reiss|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>  However, the features of Homer's character design are not used in other characters.<ref>{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt; James L. Brooks, David Silverman|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>
 
 
 
===Voice===
 
Homer's voice sounds different on the shorts than the later half-hour show. [[Dan Castellaneta|Dan Castellaneta's]] earliest portrayal began as a loose impression of [[Wikipedia:Walter Matthau|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.<ref name="matthau">{{cite news|author=Brownfield, Paul|title=He's Homer, but This Odyssey Is His Own|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=[[1999-07-06]]}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1565538/20070725/story.jhtml|title='Simpsons' Trivia, From Swearing Lisa To 'Burns-Sexual' Smithers|accessdate=2007-07-29|date=[[2007-07-26]]|author=Larry Carroll|publisher=[[MTV]]}}</ref> 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 [[Wikipedia:Jimmy Finlayson|James Finlayson's]] annoyed "Dooooh" in [[Wikipedia:Laurel and Hardy| Laurel and Hardy films]] and other comedy shorts. This modern interjection has found enough popular acceptance to be included in the [[Wikipedia:Oxford English Dictionary|Oxford English Dictionary]].
 
 
 
==Reception==
 
[[Image:D'oh.jpg|thumb|150px|Homer uttering the legendary word "D'oh".]]
 
On May 30, 2003, Homer was made an honorary citizen of [[wikipedia: Winnipeg|Winnipeg, Canada]], in recognition of [[Matt Groening]]'s father Homer Groening, who is believed to be from the Manitoba capital.<ref>Romaniuk, Ross. "[http://ccr.ptbcanadian.com/simpsons/articles.htm Is Homer Simpson Canadian?]". ''Winnipeg Sun''. May 30, 2003.</ref>
 
 
 
Homer placed second on [[w:TV Guide|TV Guide's]] 2002 Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters, behind [[W: Bugs Bunny|Bugs Bunny]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/30/cartoon.characters.list/|title=TV Guide's 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time|accessdate=2007-08-25|date=[[2002-07-30]]|publisher=[[CNN]]}}</ref> In 2005, Homer was listed fifth on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters, one of only four cartoon characters on that list.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bravotv.com/The_100_Greatest_TV_Characters//index.shtml|title=The 100 Greatest TV Characters|publisher=Bravo|accessdate=2007-08-25}}</ref> British TV viewers voted him as the greatest TV character of all time. <ref>[http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/tv_characters/results.html 100 Greatest TV characters]</ref> In 2007, ''Entertainment Weekly'' placed Homer ninth on their list of the "50 Greatest TV icons".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story?columnist=burnside_scott&id=2682379|title=The 50 Greatest TV Icons|accessdate=2007-11-15|publisher=Entertainment Weekly}}</ref>
 
 
 
''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".<ref>Scanlan, Stephen J. and Seth L. Feinberg. "[http://www.lemoyne.edu/ts/28tsabstracts2.html The Cartoon Society: Using"The Simpsons" to Teach and Learn Sociology]." ''Teaching Sociology'' Volume 28, #2. p. 127-139. April 2002.</ref> 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".<ref name=hss>{{cite news| title = Obese people lose IQ through 'Homer Simpson effect'| publisher =Thisislondon | date =[[2006-10-15]]| url =http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23370854-details/Obese%20people%20lose%20IQ%20through%20'Homer%20Simpson%20effect'/article.do| accessdate =2007-08-15  }}</ref> 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.
