Homer Simpson

Homer Jay Simpson is the overall main protagonist of The Simpsons franchise. He is the husband of Marge Simpson, father of Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson and Maggie Simpson and owner of Bunga and Simba. Homer is overweight (said to being ~240 Ibs), lazy, and often ignorant to the world around him. Although Homer has many flaws, he has shown to have great caring, love, and even bravery to those he cares about and, sometimes, even others he doesn't. He also serves as the main protagonist in all of the film series, except in the fifth film, in which he is a supporting character. He also appears as a supporting character in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Homer works as a low-level safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in Sector 7G, although he is often incompetent and negligent towards his duties. He spends a great deal of his time at Moe's Tavern with his lifelong friends Barney, Carl, Lenny, and the bartender Moe. At his home, he can often be found sitting on the couch mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking Duff. Homer is also the son of Abe and Mona, younger brother of Abbey and older brother of Herbert, When Homer gets provoked, he yells his main catchphrase, "BUNGA!!!". Even though he hates Patty and Selma, he played as Selma's husband in order for her to adopt Ling. As a result of this, Homer is the legal adoptive father of Ling Bouvier.

Homer may just be a normal man, but he has had many achievements and experiences in his life. He has won a Grammy, an Academy Award, a Pulitzer Prize, been to space, and has saved Springfield many times.

Homer is named after Matt Groening's late father, Homer Groening. In a series of interviews in 1994, Groening reportedly stated that he named the character after the Homer Simpson in The Day Of the Locust, a 1939 novel by Nathanael West, according to Planet Simpson, but neither explanation is considered definitive.

Villainous Acts

 * In "E. Homerbus Unum", Homer proclaimed an independent micronation that involved the ownership of his home when he learned it was not formally and officially part of the United States calling it "Homeria". He abused his newfound diplomatic immunity, became anti-American and proceeded to invite the leaders of countries hostile to the US including Slobodan Milošević, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Osama Bin Laden, Kim Jong-il, Fidel Castro and Ali Khamenei over for a pool party and barbecue using the pool stolen from Ned Flanders' backyard after annexing it.
 * In "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing", he attempted to get a promotion by blowing up a billboard advertising a rival nuclear power plant. Unfortunately, he placed the explosives in the wrong building which happened to be a children's hospital. When Homer had Mr. Burns watch the explosion he caused the destruction of the hospital instead. Though Homer was initially shocked he quickly got over it when the fire burned the billboard. When he passed the third grade and was elligible so he could use the executive bathroom, Burns refused to give it to him. His reason was that nobody had forgotten the burning of the hospital which resulted in over fourteen deaths. The FBI learned it was Homer but he was sentenced to only a week in prison presumably to the outrage of the dead people's famlies.
 * This was not the last hospital Homer destroyed, as in "Hot Shots", he blew up another one while mimicking Heath Ledger's Joker as part of an anti-vaccine campaign by him and Marge; earlier in the same episode, he made a faux medical advertisement protesting vaccines which he paid for with Lisa's college money.
 * Speaking of which, Homer constantly abused Lisa by talking down to her, neglecting and ignoring her, insulting her, farting on her, beating her, telling her to "Shut up", nearly drowning her, shooting her in a cutaway simply because she said "Hi" to him (both in "Homer's Daughter"), hog-tying her and trying to brand her with a branding iron in "Dial Lisa for Murder", and generally assaulting her in general.
 * In "The Story on Page One", he went to Lisa's school Springfield Elementary School to create a story that Luke Perry was gay and burned her story about Mayor Joe Quimby. However, this was to get more readers as he believed the Mayor Quimby story would put people to sleep.
 * There have been occasions where Homer forgets Lisa; in "Screwed the Lion", he made Bunga and Simba bring up a man named Artie Ziff who they claimed was Lisa's real father.
 * He and sometimes Marge are often seen in cutaways trying to abandon or get rid of Lisa.
 * However, is revealed in "Homer's Sister" that this was due to him being abused by Abbey; Lisa realized what actually transformed Homer into the direction of Homer's ill antics due to his daughter's resemblance to his sister. However, at the same time, Homer's abuse is shown to be as bad if not worse which means he is likely using Abbey's treatment of him as an excuse.
 * Another person he abused was Marge. He sometimes showed little to no respect for her, ignored her and made her to things against her will. Depending on the episode, he is also willing to hurt her.

 * Homer also abused Bart as well by insulting his intelligence and skills (despite Bart being way smarter and more skilled than Homer), getting angry with him often for no reason, lunging for him, chasing him or, mainly, strangling him and even worse, threatening him with murder. On several episodes, Homer came very close to kill his own son.

 * In "Homarded", when Homer found out he was mentally-retarded and no charges would be held if he did anything wrong he decided to take full advantage of this: He went to ladies' bathrooms and kicked the doors open, destroyed plates after finishing dinner and grabbed a fryolator accidentally burning Marge. Because there was no adult officially marked as legally-sane his children had to live at Van Houten's house as enforced by Child Protective Services; Homer put seven prostitutes there so he could get his kids back only to be put on trial for their custody which he lost.
 * In "420", after Moe got a cat, Homer, Lenny, Carl, Barney, Bunga and Simba decided to sneak into his house and shave it. Homer accidentally killed the cat though he was unconcerned adding further insult by stealing beer from the fridge and driving while intoxicated with it. In the end, Moe asked where his cat was and before Homer slammed the door he took the money offered to him and apathetically said "I killed your cat". Earlier he did a cutaway showing he lured people to their deaths with siren songs while dressed as a mermaid.
 * In "April in Springfield", Homer's comment before the supposed end of the world expressing shame and disgust for his children ("I just hate being around the kids...") was deliberately uttered thinking he would have no price to pay. How mistaken he was once the hoax passed without incident and even Homer's heartfelt apology was fruitless as his children were still mad; when Marge confronted him he asked her if she ever felt like they should've run away or been kidnapped to be taken to the Temple of Doom. In an attempt to interact with his children, he asked Lisa about her "her" and used crystal meth in front of Bart and Maggie.
 * In " ",
 * In "Maggie-Roids", he put Maggie on steroids after she was beaten up by her nemesis Gerald Samson.
 * In "The Tan Aquatic with Nelson Zissou", when he found out Bart was being bullied by Weasel he went to Weasel's house to talk to him but beat him after losing his temper. Though Homer only hit him out of anger and was never willing to do so this was still a crime because Weasel was 13 while Homer was 38; being an adult he should've known better than to get angry at all. Upon realizing how good it felt to bully people, he started bullying his family and friends. When he realized he was like his high-school bully Mr. Starbeam, he went with Bart to pay him back. However, it turned out that growing up Starbeam suffered multiples sclerosis which led him to be physically disabled; instead of feeling sorry Homer attempted to beat him up anyway only to be beaten up by Bart in turn.
 * In "A Fistful of Lisa", he continuously tormented Bunga with his nude body just because he found cute and funny how he reacted. He only stopped when Bunga shaved to reveal his bald appearance which he used to scare Homer and convince him into putting his clothes back on.
 * In " ",
 * In " ", a cutaway revealed he accidentally killed Bart's twin brother, Hugo Simpson II, who was a baby by shaking him to make him stop crying. This was more of a misdeed since Homer did not mean it; however, it still seemed shocking that he and Marge actually stayed together to conceive Lisa and Maggie.
 * In " ", he killed and eviscerated a beached whale with a forklift trying to get it back into the ocean. To add insult to injury, he then carefully and gently picked up a seashell with the same forklift and said "You're whale-come" to a horrified crowd.
 * In "Fresh Hair", it was shown Homer held a hairless twin hostage in his storm shed feeding him garbage. He also murdered who he thought was a bully of Bart and presented his head but it turned out to be a deaf student. The main plot involved Homer attempting to marry his son who was made the heir of Mr. Burns' will.
 * In " ", he ordered a drone so he could spy on people; in a cutaway he tailgaited a fire engine after calling 911 so he could get to the golf course faster and in another one had breakfast in bread even though Marge said their family was behind on mortgage payments.
 * In " ", he menaced numerous people including Lisa, Maggie and even Apu with a whip that was supposed to go to Moe. It's implied that he harassed Apu all because he was black.
 * It was revealed in "Lisa Stinks!" that he paid off his shenanigans by frequently robbing a bank. After Lisa accidentally killed the manager, he told her to kill everyone else.
 * In " ", when Bunga denied that kicking could solve problems Homer beat him up and threw him out a window leaving him to almost get run over. Later on the same episode, while having dinner, he and his family except Bunga and Simba did things that would make Simba's date say her age. After they failed he yelled at her and forced her to say it which caused her to run away crying after saying she was 50, much to Simba's anger.
 * In " ", when Marge and Luann Van Houten had an argument on parenting methods the two banned him and Kirk (as well as Bart and Milhouse) from seeing each other again. To try to get Marge and Luann to be friends again, he and Kirk performed various (and questionable) stunts to do so. One of them was showing naked babies and their private areas; Kirk asked why Homer had pictures of them in suggestive positions and taken long before they made the plan which indicated he was a pedophile at one point. He also intentionally crashed his car by driving it into a pole with him and Kirk still inside resulting in the latter ending up hospitalized and in critical condition due to Homer being protected by airbags alone; this attempt only further cemented hostilities between his and Kirk's wives.
 * In " ", when drinking became banned for people under 50 he manipulated Simba into buying alcohol because he was 52 in lion years. When a police officer caught them both drunk he told on Simba leaving him to do community service; Homer didn't care about what happened and still asked him to buy alcohol. Additionally, he drank a beer can in front of Simba, burped at him in his face, littered with the crumpled can and insulted a glaring policeman making Homer do community service as well.
 * He got into destructive brawls with Frank Grimes, Jr. which all started in "Da Boom" when Homer assaulted Grimes over unknowingly giving him an expired coupon; he later got into another fight after knocking Grimes off a bicycle in "Yug Ylimaf" and again by crashing into his car in "Internal Affairs". Each fight in itself ended with everywhere they went including most of Springfield demolished and countless innocents dead in the crossfire while Homer and Grimes survived nome worse for the wear.
 * He got into a similarly long and violent fight with X-27 in "The Simpsons Movie" that destroyed much of Mars killing and injuring many. That said, Homer was saving the Earth babies X-27 and the martians kidnapped and attempted to eat, and X-27 destroyed Homer's house first (albeit unintentionally), and in second case, the king of Mars was the one who started the fight.
 * He would later start a smilar fight with Donald Trump in the "episode of the same name" where they ended up accidentally launching several missiles, damaging many Washington DC landmarks and destroying both the Wright Brothers' plane and Tge Spirit of St. Louis at the Smithsonian. In Homer's defense, Trump seemed to have started it (throwing the first punch), and he also prevented Trump from destroying Barack Obama's portrait. Additionally, Trump taunted Homer by touching Lisa inappropriately, so he attacked the president out of protection and defense of his daughter.
 * In "Simba the Closer", Homer desperately tried to get Simba's old rope to the point of tying the rope to his car and driving off to get it away from Simba. This greatly injured Simba causing him to collide headfirst with a fire hydrant making him lose his teeth and break his nose. Homer later uncaringly gave Simba the rope back having grown bored of it and along with the rest of the family refused to help fix Simba's face.
 * In "Turkey Hunt", Homer got drunk again and ended up eating the Thanksgiving turkey supposedly with Bunga. When Marge discovered it, she forced the two of them to head out to find a replacement turkey. Through Homer's stupidity, the two encountered bad luck and misfortune which endangered Bunga. When Bunga could not take anymore he yelled to which Homer revealed he was just framed do Homer didn't have to take all the blame. He furthered this by daying Bunga was a pet, he could throw him off a bridge and unless he hit a person he was fine.
 * In " ", he presumably beat an innocent boy to death with a shovel because he thought he was after buried treasure. In the beginning he disgusted his family with putrid breath. He later punched Bart giving him a black eye and causing Marge to bail on him with the rest of the kids; he thought about holding her at gunpoint when they found real treasure.
 * In " ", he tormented Lenny and Carl for amusement after becoming rich forcing them to perform while criticizing and shooting them with two rounds blowing out Carl's eye and piercing Lenny's throat forcing the former to get a glass replacement eye and the latter to presumably get vocal implants before doing the same things to Ned. He also defecated on Mr. Burns' desk after resigning.
 * In " ", he shot Bart's best friend Milhouse in the arm and was arrested and charged with a hate crime by Chief Wiggum. However, he did not mean to because while in a neighborhood watch organization it was dark and he thought Milhouse was someone else trying to rob the house.
 * In " ",
 * In " ", he stole Nielsen boxes and ruined television causing everybody to hate him.
 * In " ", after he became annoyed with Herbert he attempted to get a wolf to eat him; this failed and Herbert realized Homer wanted to kill him so he angrily left the house.
 * In " ", he and Marge forced Maggie to do a commercial which tired her, gave her drugs to keep her active and pressured her to succeed as well as using the money they planned for her college fund for themselves instead.
 * In " ", Homer became a patriot and convinced Burns to check if workers were legitimate citizens only to find out from his parents Abe and Mona Simpson he himself was an immigrant after which he was fired. While working as a nanny he fell through a roof skylight dressed as Mary Poppins killing two children and showed no remorse only being disgusted as he puked; after that he pushed the corpses under a bed with his umbrella and left. In another scene, while working as a maid and housekeeper he entered a motel room even though the person inside specifically told him not to.
 * In " ", he shot Lenny in the arm to prove a hunting rifle's safety mode was not on and revealed he lost a borrowed Huey Lewis CD in a game of poker making him end their friendship.
 * In " ", once Homer returned from being lost on an island at sea he became distraught after learning Simba married Marge. He then seduced her into having intercouse with him; while this could be considered less villainous since they were previously married Homer still did not respect the marriage between Simba and Marge or Simba in general and when she attempted to explain it wasn't right Homer said he loved her more and Simba was simply a lion demeaning him as a pet instead of an actual deserving husband.
 * In " ", Homer was angry upon finding out Marge slept and was once in a relationship with Lenny; he flew into a jealous rage attempting to drive Lenny away by dressing up as a "ghost" and spent the rest of the evening drinking. Stopping by Lenny's house he threw his bottle through a window and hit a lamp causing a fire that nearly killed Ned while Homer failed to notify emergency services.
 * In " ", he became equally furious when he learned through a pocket-dialed message that Moe also loved Marge. Unable to control his jealousy he ignored Bunga's suggestions and got into a fight. Later, while still angry Homer flipped Moe off when he moved away. He even blamed Marge for Moe loving her.
 * In " ", he drove his car into a rich family's house and went into the library where he retold The Great Gabsy, Huckleberry Finn and Of Mice and Men. He tried to escape the police by hiding in the attic but was apprehended and battered by them in the end; he even had his nose broken after insulting them.
 * In " ", he, Lenny, Carl and Barney impersonated military officials and he later beat an innocent boy to death just so he could ride a jet ski.
 * In " ", while he, Lenny, Carl and Barney were in charge of Moe's Tavern, he brought a real bull which destroyed the bar and portrait of Moe's mother ano passed away resulting in Homer being attacked after failing to evacuate himself from the Tavern's premises as a ploy to avoid being hurt by replacing himself and his friends with scarecrow replicas.
 * In " ", it was implied he was interested in raping 3 years-old girls.
 * Also, in " ", he threw a laptop into the sea because he didn't want people to see what was on it. It's possible that there were child pornography on the laptop.
 * In " ", Homer put a brain-damaged horse he had purchased on his car after it died of a heart attack and drove only to slam the brakes and send the horse crashing into Ned's house; his family was made to pay the damages even though he alone was responsible.
 * In " ", while attempting to get Marge exonerated for the supposed murder of Jessica Lovejoy, Homer attempted to do this by "following Scooby-Doo rules" in which he literally ripped people's faces off as if they were masks revealing the skulls of his victims. Then possibly out of narcissism and/or being delusional, printed a fake newspapper he made on his computer that said he helped stop the "Bloody Skull gang" when he had actually commited multiple acts of mutilation (and likely murder) and to further stroke his ego it had said he "Made a better song than Uptown Funk" while blushing saying that the newspapper was embarrassing him.
 * In " ",
 * In " ", when Homer has to start working from home, Marge tries to be supportive and kisses him on the check, which causes him to report Marge for sexual harassment even though they're married and have intimate relations.
