The idea for the episode was pitched by Cary, who thought it would be fun to see the citizens of Springfield hallucinating. The episode features the revelation of Homer's middle name, "Jay", which is a "tribute" to animated characters such as Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show who got their middle initial from Jay Ward. 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.He also had a minor role in the episode "22 Short Films About Springfield", along with Maggie, as they only appeared in one clip and were never seen again for the rest of the episode. Homer placed second on TV Guide's 2015 Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters, behind Bugs Bunny.
('No!'; it is pronounced like the number 'nine'.) In the Spanish-dubbed version, "D'oh!" is changed to ¡Ou! The pronunciation, along with the proper Homer-esque intonation, has entered the popular culture of many Spanish-speaking countries. The closed captions for the program — though this may only occur in the US—spell "D'oh" as "D-ohh!" or "Oh!" (this is more common in earlier episodes, newer ones simply use "D'oh"). In Italy, the parts where Homer utters the word are left unedited, thus still bearing Castellaneta's voice. On February 24, 2012, the Bureau of Health Planning and Assessment sent an email to eight bureau directors and the deputy secretary.

If Bart gets an outstanding grade, Homer and the whole family is all proud of Bart. One morning Homer gorged himself on pizza and afterwards is on top of the kitchen table in nothing but his underwear. Marge finds him and tells Homer she wishes he would take his health seriously. Just when Homer seems to be taking Marge's words to heart, he marches upstairs to tell his wife that he will start taking care of himself, only to have a heart attack and fall down the stairs, because he is out of shape. Not long later, the church has a funeral for Homer, where everyone in town grieves for the Simpson patriarch. Suddenly, Jonathan Frink, Jr interrupts the proceedings to announce that he has made a clone of Homer.
Despite this, Homer is often tempted with other women, and usually shows no qualms with gawking at attractive women. Homer almost had an affair with Mindy Simmons, but ended up not wanting to. He has made the occasional remark denoting his attraction to other women (including his neighbor's wife), even in front of Marge on an occasion, but always shows his devotion to Marge in the end. One time, he was even amused by a documentary about car crashes which result from alcoholism. He is a chronic thief and borderline kleptomaniac which ranges from petty to grand theft, stealing everything from TV trays to power tools and air conditioners, even an entire room of the Flanders House from Ned Flanders.

He dies the most times in the Treehouse of Horror segments, but they are non-canon. Mr. Burns has converted the Springfield buses into nuclear-powered ones and now, they're wreaking havoc on the streets of Springfield. Homer leads a taxi service with the residents of Springfield to put the Nuclear Buses out of business. Homer has the most cars out of any playable character in the game.
It is an exclamation typically used after Homer injures himself, realizes that he has done something foolish, or when something bad has happened or is about to happen to him. All his prominent blood relations—son Bart, daughters Lisa and Maggie, his father, his mother and half-brother—have also been heard to use it themselves in similar circumstances. On a few occasions, Homer's wife Marge and characters outside the family such as Mr. Burns and Sideshow Bob have also used this phrase. However, Homer is very proud of Lisa's intelligence and will brag about it to friends and co-workers. Lisa acknowledges her father's shortcomings but does love him and appreciates when he puts in the effort to better himself for her sake. Although he is often insensitive to her and her needs (once turning her room into a cellular tower without a second thought and then forcing her to bunk with Bart- also without a second thought), Homer does try to be a good father and puts her happiness above anything else.
Jobs
In "Homer's Odyssey", he worked at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant as a technical supervisor. He was fired by Sherri and Terri's father , who was his supervisor, for creating a deadly gas leak. He was later rehired to safety inspector for Sector 7G, after complaining about the safety of the plant itself.
Scully stated that Mull and Carlin were "some of the funniest guys that ever lived", and that recording their lines was "a lot of fun". Although it does not occur with most other guest stars in the series, Mull and Carlin recorded their lines together. While the designs of Seth and Munchie were not modeled after anyone in particular, their hair-styles were slightly based on those of Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen, owners of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's. Comedian Bob Hope was portrayed by series regular cast member Dan Castellaneta, who plays Homer among many other characters in the series. Jill St. John and Phyllis Diller were both voiced by American voice actress Tress MacNeille.
In Treehouse of Horror VII, Hugo lives in the attic and lives off fish heads. Although they don't communicate well, Homer and Maggie share a special bond and he loves her deeply. Maggie's first word was "daddy", which he couldn't hear (due to being out of Maggie's room and shutting the door as he exited). Maggie once saved a captive Homer, who was impressed and grateful to his daughter. He has shown love for Maggie as he protected her from bullying babies in Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe and earned a hug from his daughter who punched out a baby that knocked him down.
Another contribution is working at the nuclear plant for so many years that the exposure to radioactivity has caused most of his hair to fall out. Another frequent topic on Homer's obesity is his large posterior which is often joked about by Bart. While his weight is debatable, the most common weight given is 239 pounds . He wears a white polo shirt, blue jeans, white underpants, and gray loafers. Homer attended Springfield High School, falling in love with an older and unrecognizable Marge after she ultimately rejected Artie Ziff. After finishing high school, Marge and Homer bought an apartment at Springfield Place together.
He does not seem to practice Christian morals and frequently sleeps in church, much to the annoyance of Reverend Lovejoy. He also admitted that in addition to sleeping in church, he also mentally undresses the female churchgoers. He often mispronounces the name of the Christ, calling Him "Jebus". In "The Simpsons Movie", before entering church, he says, "Relax, those pious morons are too busy talking to their phony-baloney God."When asked by Bart what religion Homer belongs to, he replies, "You know, the one with all the well-meaning rules that don't work out in real life. Uh… Christianity". Homer also applied for a job as Santa, to make up for his missed Christmas bonus at the power plant.
Despite his family flaws, he is a loving father and husband, even if he can be ignorant or oblivious to his family's feelings and ideas. When he thinks he's let anyone he loves down, it really does affect him, and in the end, will do anything for them. Despite his overweight status, and hate for exercise, he has on occasion shown surprising physical prowess and agility for a man of his body type, such as when training for Whacking Day and he hits several pop-up Snakes with kicks and even back-flipping. His baldness is contributed by several factors, such as upon finding out whenever Marge was pregnant, he would tear out a substantial amount of his hair.
They spend a lot of time together watching TV, and although they spend a lot of time together, Homer doesn't take much of an interest in his life while Bart mostly ignores Homer. Whenever Homer does partake in a father-son activity with Bart, it is usually to beat Flanders at something, although, interestingly, Homer is truly offended when Bart gets a "big brother" to spend time with. Like Bart, Homer is a polyglot, someone with the ability to pick up languages fairly quickly, perhaps even a hyper polyglot . He has been shown to speak Spanish, Chinese, Penguin and Drunk and when he and Bart were imprisoned in Japan for a seemingly short amount of time due to unknowingly assaulting Emperor Akihito, he was able to speak the language fluently by the time he left. This was evidenced in a flashback in Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy, where Homer, after watching a televised speech made by then-President John F. Kennedy, proceeded to flawlessly mimic Kennedy's speech pattern and mannerisms. 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.
