Marge Simpson

Marjorie Jacqueline Bouvier-Simpson, also known as Marge Bouvier, Marge Simpson and Marjorie Bouvier, is one of the main characters from The Simpsons series.
== Charactah Account ==
Marge is the homemaker and matriarch of the Simpson family. She and her husband Homer have three children: Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Marge is the moralistic force in her family and often provides a raspy and grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the Simpson household.
Marge is generally a very kind-hearted and loving woman. In contrast to her husband and son, Marge hardly ever swears and, except on occasional incidents, puts greater effort into controlling her temper. Despite this, she can be protective of her family when she needs to, especially during Homer's "psychopath" moments. However, she cares deeply about everyone she's closest too as well, even her husband. On occasion, she can sometimes get explosive outbursts of anger, but admits her errors and apologizes right after - in such incidents, she is primarily always forgiven but in others, she doesn't.
Marge tends to consider anything that is not completely plain to be amazing or exotic, even if they are not all that special, such as oregano, deviled ham instead of normal ham and buttered noodles instead of un-buttered noodles. She has also been depicted as a killjoy who attempts to stop and even prohibit activities that other characters otherwise find fun - she always believes she has a good reason for doing so, even if it bothers or distastes her alone and nobody else. She once had Itchy and Scratchy banned because Maggie injured Homer after imitating a scene from the cartoon. She tried to demolish a burlesque house, and she outright says that if something isn't to her taste then no one else should be allowed to enjoy it. Homer sums up his wife when he tells her: "If it were up to [Marge], all we would ever do is work and go to church". Marge's plain attitude and love for her family are brought down many times including when she finds a Chanel suit and openly admits after going to a country club party that the rich are better than the way her family acts.

== Trivia ==
* Despite having French ancestry, Marge's voice sounds very Yiddish and bares resemblance to that of her voice Julie Kavner. In fact, Kavner was acknowledged to have provided merely be a squeaky, gravelly version of her own voice when playing Marge.
* Time Magazine noted in 2007 how Marge's decent personality resembles that of All in The Family matriarch Edith Bunker.
* In "Homer's Paternity Coot", Marge states that if she'd been born three months earlier her birthstone would be Emerald (the birthstone of May), putting her birthday in August.
* In "Marge Gamer", Marge originally said she was born on October 1, the same birthday as Randy Quaid. Although in "Homer's Paternity Coot", Marge stated was born sometime in February. Marge says in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore" that her birthday is in May. However, in "Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart", Lisa showed a calendar saying her birthday was on March 19.
* Including her hair, Marge is 8'6". Without her hair, Marge would technically be about 6'4, 6'5 with her usual heels. However, being about half a head shorter than Homer (6'0"), her real height would be around 5'7".
* Marge's hair is two feet and one inch long.
* Marge has hazel-colored eyes.
* Marge's maiden name Bouvier is the maiden name of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
* In the episode "Boy Meets Curl ", Marge states that she is left-handed, and that she has been using her right hand for years because she didn't want to seem unusual, and since she is able to use both her right and left hand so well, she is now ambidextrous (both left and right-handed). She is also the only known ambidextrous character.
* Marge's favorite singer is Tom Jones.
* Marge's shoe size is 13AA.
* Marge's worst fear is never being a grandmother, but Homer believes it to be Lisa getting a beard of bees.
* As shown in "Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2", Marge has trouble saying "no". As shown when she was about 7, Patty and Selma told Marge to hide their cigarettes in her dollhouse. She refused and got stuffed into the dollhouse.
* Marge can speak fluent French.
* Marge also needs to wear glasses but doesn't want to wear them as she thinks they make her look dowdy.
* Marge's middle name is Jacqueline, another nod to Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
* Marge's number one concern is being hit in the eye with the rubber band around her morning newspaper when she takes it off.
* In "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield", it is mentioned that Marge's hair is around eighteen inches long.
* In "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)", it is revealed that Marge has a gambling addiction. In the Family Guy episode "The Son Also Draws", Lois Griffin also ends up developing a slight gambling addiction.
* Another thing Marge shares with Lois Griffin is that she and Lois are both shoplifters.
* According to Matt Groening, Marge's hairstyle was actually intended to hide rabbit ears to be revealed in the last season 1 episode, but in the end, it was chosen that the rabbit ears were totally ridiculous, even for The Simpsons. However, it's still briefly seen in The Simpsons Arcade Game.
* The Simpsons Movie is the only time Marge's lingerie was shown.
* Marge has aviophobia (fear of flying) and probably also acrophobia (fear of heights) as shown in "Fear of Flying". However, as shown by every other occurrence of her and her family traveling by plane, it's possible Marge overcomes these fears and can, by extension, "control" them.
* It is also revealed that Marge has OCD in "Lisa Gets the Blues".
* Marge is sometimes seen eavesdropping on other people. Rod, Todd, and Lisa all complained about her eavesdropping on their prayers.
* Marge is referred to as Midge by Moe Szyslak.
* Marge once had her hair done like Sideshow Mel's hair.
* Marge breastfed Lisa for nine months as mentioned in "The Day the Earth Stood Cool". Lisa is the only child Marge has breastfed.
* There is a goof in multiple episodes where for one scene, Marge's pearls are white, like Lisa's, instead of red.
* It has been shown multiple times that Marge is incapable of recognizing sarcasm and jokes and believes them to be true. An example of this would be in "E. Pluribus Wiggum", when she mentions Bart making a joke about Homer's weight disrupting satellites, but she was still convinced it was possible, despite Homer telling her it was a joke. An example of her not recognizing sarcasm would be in The President Wore Pearls when Marge believed Bart was applauding and supporting Lisa but was corrected by Bart who told Marge he was using sarcasm, but Marge then became confused.
* There is a running joke involving Marge being subject of attraction from Milhouse and other children such as Nelson, causing Bart to become aggressive as shown in "Simpson Tide" and in "The Blue and the Gray".
* Marge was the first character to speak in the entire series.
* Along with Lisa, Marge appeared in every episode until "Carl Carlson Rides Again."
* In "Married to the Blob", Marge tells Comic Book Guy that she married Homer to get back at her mother, though that is part of the Treehouse of Horror series, so it is non-canon.
* Marge always says the word "snuggle"/"snuggling" instead of the word "sex". She never uses the word "sex", and if she has to, she will only spell it out. The only times she has said the word is when Patty and Selma were emailing Artie Ziff and she said: "You can't say sex on the Internet". She also said it in the episode about Valentine's Day and the Team Homer episode.
* In the season 1 box-set's audio-commentary for "Homer's Odyssey", Jay Kogen said that when he was writing the script from the episode with Wallace Wolodarsky they called Marge Juliet, based on Romeo and Juliet because Matt Groening didn't tell them that her name is Marge.
* Marge, like many other mothers in the show, disapproves of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, due to it being way too violent and gory.
* It is implied that Marge might not confirmed a bisexual, as she realized she enjoyed making out with Lady Gaga. Afterwards, Marge slept with Homer to assure herself of her sexuality.
* Marge has only smoked one pack of cigarettes.
* In "Homer to the Max", it's revealed that Marge has a tattoo of Homer's name on a "private part" of her body (most likely around the chest, as in some states, tattoos on and below the butt are illegal).
* Marge craved pancake mix and heavy metal music (especially by Kiss) during her pregnancies.
* In "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", Marge stated that she took the Simpson D.N.A. when she married Homer.
* The name Marjorie is a French female given name meaning Pearls.
* Marge speaks Portuguese (Brasilia) fluently.
* Because Marge suffered anaphylaxis, or extreme allergic reaction to seafood, when she visited The Frying Dutchman just so Homer can eat as much as he pleased in The Frying Dutchman, she just had a few Tic-Tac's in her purse, then slept until Homer was kicked out of the place because he almost cleaned out the restaurant's supplies.
