Homer Simpson

Homer Jay Simpson, also known as Homer Simpson, is the main protagonist of The Simpsons series.
== Charactah Account ==
The father, the dope, and main man of the Simpsons family. Homer is overweight, almost completely bald, and rather selfish, short-tempered and stupid, but is a good person at heart and has a bright outlook on life.
Homer is a pure moron who can go back and forth from being downright horrible to an extremely caring and loving man. Homer's personality is one of frequent immaturity, frequent stupidity, dim witness, selfishness, laziness, and explosive anger; one might say it is that of the "Average Joe". He also suffers from a short attention span which complements his intense but short-lived passion for hobbies, enterprises and various causes. Despite his family flaws, he is a loving father and husband, even if he can be ignorant or oblivious to families feelings and ideas. When he thinks he has let anyone he loves down, it really does affect him, and in the end, will do anything for them. Another contribute to his "Working Joe" persona was that he has also shown to be sensitive about his masculinity; being initially upset over Marge becoming a police officer as he thought it made her "the man of the house", as well as refusing to call a contractor when Marge wanted her kitchen remodeled as to not emasculate his pride.

== Trivia ==
* A character named Homer Simpson in The Day of the Locust, a 1939 novel by Nathanael West, may have been another inspiration for Homer's name.
* His Social Security number is 568-47-0008.
* Originally, Bart was the character the show focused on, but by Season 3 they focused more on Homer instead of him. Additionally, Homer is the star of The Simpsons Movie.
* It is indicated that he is farsighted given that he wears reading glasses.
* In "Today, I Am a Clown", it reveals that Homer is an animal whisperer.
* Homer has an email address on AOL called Chunkylover53, and this email belongs in fact to Simpsons writer Matt Selman, and can be emailed to receive Homer-style replies from Matt Selman himself (However, Matt Selman may not respond to emails that were sent to him, mainly because he's doing work for the show). As it was hacked, Matt Selman made a new AOL email for Homer called Homer_Simpson@AOL.com. If you receive an email from this email address, it is simply a reply for an email, if you sent one.
* His blood type is either A positive or AB, as displayed on his sperm donor profile, Thad Supersperm.
* In "Homer's Triple Bypass", it is implied that Homer's bloodstream has a continuous regulation of radioactivity, as Dr. Hibbert was explaining to Marge Simpson that they injected Homer with a radioactive dye to see his circulatory system from an X-ray until he learns that the nurse hadn't even injected the dye yet (resulting in Hibbert saying "Good Lord" in a shocked manner).
** In the same episode, it was also revealed that his fat can jiggle upwards to at least an hour, as when Dr. Hibbert did a fat analysis test to see how long it would go, it became apparent that it was going for long enough to force Hibbert to cancel an upcoming 1:00 medical appointment he was supposed to attend.
* His personality is very similar to that of Peter Griffin from Family Guy, which premiered ten years after The Simpsons began. In "Treehouse of Horror XIII", Peter Griffin appeared as one of Homer's clones. But Homer may be smarter than Peter, since in Family Guy, it is revealed that Peter is actually below mentally retarded, which of that, being below, is worse than actual mental retardation.
* He has met Peter Griffin in "The Simpsons Guy", where he and Peter fought, where it seemed that Peter won in that same episode, but in the end, either of them did and they called it to just to be equal and agreed that they would be happy to coexist, as long as it was miles away from each other.
* Homer owns the Denver Broncos, despite wanting to own the Dallas Cowboys.
* It is believed that Homer is diabetic as mentioned in "That '90s Show". However, if this was true, Homer would most likely be dead because he has never been seen taking insulin and the amount of food that Homer eats would just ensure that he would already be dead by the point the episode was shown.
* In "Fear of Flying", it is shown his favorite song (at the time) was "It's Raining Men".
* Homer has temporarily died twice outside of Treehouse of Horror episodes. As shown in "Homer's Triple Bypass", when he died of a heart attack, but was revived when Mr. Burns mentioned a ham. And again in "Million Dollar Maybe", when he was trying to calm himself down after stressing about being rich and not being able to tell Marge, but was revived when he realized he was dead and made a desperate attempt to return to his body. He dies the most times (now 20) in the Treehouse of Horror segments, but they are non-canon.
* According to "The Blunder Years", his constant eating was a direct result of his trauma from finding Waylon Smithers, Sr.'s corpse.
* Homer was originally supposed to have an illegitimate, long-lost daughter in the episode that would have become Insane Clown Poppy, but the writers decided to change it to having Krusty have the long-lost illegitimate daughter instead of in order to not make the plot too far-fetched for it to be canon.
* He looks like his father when he is dehydrated.
* On one episode of Jeopardy!, there was a category called "Readings From Homer" in which Homer's voice provided the clues.
* Homer weighs between 239-300 lbs.
* In all Simpsons video games where you can play as multiple characters, Homer is always the first unlocked character.
* In "Trilogy of Error", Homer had his thumb cut off. However, it was sutured by one of Fat Tony's helpers as Lisa's Science Fair Project.
* Homer's sideburns and ear used to say M and G, respectively, for Matt Groening. They decided to keep the "M", but Groening wanted Homer's ear to look like a real ear.
* Homer only has an IQ of 55. It was revealed in "HOMЯ" that the reason Homer's IQ is so low is because he had a crayon lodged in his brain since he was six. Upon removal of the crayon, his IQ jumped from 55 to 105.
** In "Frink Gets Testy", everyone thought Homer's IQ is 265, but that was due to a test mix-up between his IQ test and Bart's because Homer has terrible handwriting.
* Homer shares his middle initial J with Philip J. Fry from Futurama, Matt Groening's second successful show, but unlike Homer, whose initial actually means Jay, Fry's was never defined. Homer only found out what his middle name was when he went to his mother's old gypsy camp, and found a mural/ painting of him as a boy, and above it was his full name.
* He is one of the three Simpson family members to break a leg in the series and have the injury last through the majority of the episode, the others being Marge and Bart.
* Throughout the series, Homer has shown to be highly patriotic. He has also displayed a small form of nationalism by insulting other countries, making fun of their culture and its people, as well as putting his country ahead of all others.
* In "Rednecks and Broomsticks", Homer has shown to have a strong sense of taste by being able to taste moonshine inside the town's water reservoir. His taste buds could, to some extent, be compared to that of a wine taster.
** Earlier, in Season 20, his old taste buds got burned off exposing new ones in "Father Knows Worst" when he ate a fire kabob.
* Homer starts out as an anti-hero in The Simpsons Movie when he makes Springfield the most polluted city in the history of the planet. However, he later has an epiphany when he realizes that other people are just as important as him and saves everyone from being blown up by Russ Cargill.
** Also in The Simpsons Movie, Homer is hinted to be an atheist when he complains while going into church saying "Everyone's busy talking to their phony-baloney God!". However, in other episodes, he shows belief in God.
* In "Marge vs. the Monorail", the news shows a picture of Homer with what appears to be a mouthful of unlit cigarettes. This joke was recreated several years later as a meme for the game Team Fortress 2 with the Spy class doing the same thing, only the cigarettes are lit.
* There was a temporary belief among fans that Homer has a disorder called Intermittent Explosive Disorder where the sufferer overreacts when angered resulting in violent outbursts and property damage.
* According to "Super Franchise Me", Homer calls Ned's quotes, such as "diddly", "Flanderisms".
* Despite his low intelligence, there have been a few times where he is able to show higher intelligence. These include accurately predicting the outcome of the comet in "Bart's Comet", accurately assuming the cause of the smoke inside a fireproof safe then guessing its eventual explosion in "Homerazzi", and being capable of describing the difference between envy and jealousy which caused Lisa to look in a dictionary and confirm his description in "Covercraft". He also, when hearing of the term "think tank", imagines think tank as the word was intended rather than a literal and inaccurate definition in E. Pluribus Wiggum, with him also telling his shocked family "Hey, I can't get one right?" afterwards to highlight it.
* Homer is unintentionally responsible for Maude Flanders' death.
* He is the only main Simpson family member who doesn't have anything colored red in his everyday clothes, unlike Marge (her pearls), Bart (his t-shirt), Lisa (her dress and sandals), and Maggie (her pacifier).
* Details from Homer's license indicate that he holds a class C license and has no hair.
* It is also true that he has a tattoo on his back which says "Marge madness", as seen in "Waiting for Duffman".
* Homer was IGN's number one 90s cartoon character.
* It has been shown multiple times that Homer has Arachnophobia, which is a fear of arachnids (mainly spiders). This is considered true in "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily", where he panics when a spider appears next to his keys. It also happened in "Treehouse of Horror XXII", where he panics when he realizes that the spider Halloween decoration was a real black widow spider, and panics again when a second spider appears later, and in "Mobile Homer" where he becomes unsettled by the sight of a spider when he was asked by Marge to kill the spiders in the garage and gets into a frenzy when more spiders attack him. This has happened in more episodes than the mentioned three.
* Homer is right-handed, unlike most other characters, such as Bart and Ned.
* According to his driver's license, Homer's birthday is May 12, 1956. Without the floating timeline, Homer would've been 65.
* He has a subscription for Mad Magazine, and considers it to be "our nation's largest mental illness-themed humor magazine".
* He is of Scandinavian descent on his mother’s side and Native American descent on his father’s side (although the exact tribe is unknown). Since he, Abe, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie all appear Caucasian, this is a more distant gene, whereas his mother Mona Simpson’s maiden name was Olsen (a Scandinavian name) which suggests that his Scandinavian ancestry is more recent. Since his half-brother Herb Powell only shares the Native American gene, it is unknown what ancestry Herb’s mother had.
* Homer has had multiple tattoos in the show but these are mostly shown as gags.
** In "Cape Feare", Bart somehow managed to tattoo the words "Wide Load" above his buttocks.
** In "'Round Springfield", he revealed to Lisa that he has a tattoo on his arm, but is dismayed when he realized that the tattoo was of "Starland Vocal Band".
** In "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution", he starts panicking when his pants start tearing because he fears people will see his tattoo of "Donald Duck smoking a doob".
** In "Waiting for Duffman, he is shown to have a tattoo on his back which says "Marge madness".
* Homer is the only member of the main Simpsons family (excluding Grandpa and Santa's Little Helper) to have a male voice actor: Dan Castellaneta.
* Homer's tattoo reading "Marge madness" is a reference to the phrase "March Madness". Which was a brand name for the "NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament". The term "March Madness" came from the idiomatic phrase "(As) mad as a March hare", which was based on the amorousness of male hares during mating season.
* Homer is unable to pronounce ‘Oprah’.
* Homer is the only member of the Simpson family to both appear and have a speaking role in every episode. Marge has no lines in "Krusty Gets Kancelled", Lisa has no lines in "Chief of Hearts" and "Moho House", Bart has no lines in "My Fare Lady" and "The Incredible Lightness of Being a Baby" and is completely absent in "Four Great Women and a Manicure", and Maggie is absent from multiple episodes. The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular is the only episode that Homer does not physically appear in.
