Did you enjoy these Homer Simpson quotes?

Although he is mundanely living the ‘American Dream,’ the show chronicles many of Homer’s crazy experiences, including fighting President Bush.

In 2010, Entertainment Weekly named him the second greatest character “of the last 20 years” getting beat out by Bugs Bunny.

Homer’s age is not consistent throughout the show.

He starts the series out being 34 and ranges anywhere between there and 40 depending on the season.

Homer’s creator, Matt Groening, named the character after his dad.

According to Groening, “Homer originated with my goal to both amuse my real father, and just annoy him a little bit. ”

“My father was an athletic, creative, intelligent filmmaker and writer, and the only thing he had in common with Homer was a love of donuts.”

Homer had a contentious relationship with his son Bart for the first part of the series, but that seemed to stem from Homer’s fear that his family would embarrass him.

After the first few seasons, writers toned down Homer’s aggressiveness, making him more likable and concerned for his family.
