Homer Simpson

Homer Simpson full name Homer Jay Simpson is one of the main characters in the Simpsons. He is the father of the Simpson family, he is overweight, lazy and can be very ignorant most of the time. Before the actual show started and the shorts were airing, Homer's attitude was much different, along with his character design.

Physical Apperance
He, like all other Simpsons characters are yellow in color (besides characters like Apu or or Carl). He is also shown to be balding, and overweight. He as well has a tannish 5 o'clock shadow that goes around almost about half of his face. Though he is overweight and generally doesn't have exercise, he can do things as if he were much stronger, like karate kicking or back-flipping. Upon finding out whenever Marge was pregnant, he would tear out a largel amount of his hair. 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 butt which is often joked about by Bart. He is also shown to be about 6 feet tall or somehwhere within that range. In the older shorts before the show itself started, Homer looked drastically different, as did the other characters before being redesigned for the show. In the old shorts, Homer's head was at a complete different angle and wasn't a perfect oval-circle. He also had a bit more hair that was drawn out to be just a bit thicker then what it is in the show.

Alter-Egos
Homer got a alter-ego called Pie Man, and he was then a superhero. In his alter-ego, he'll throw pies into the person doing something wrong, he also has a Pie Cave which is just located in the Simpson family house's basement, and he also owns a Piemobile (a parody of the Batmobile). As well, he tried to become a graffiti artists known as "El Homo", but quickly abondend this alter-ego after he learned what the meaning of it was. In his Pie Man alter-ego, he also has a side-kick (who is Bart) and his "side-kick's" name is known as Cupcake Kid.

Langauges
Homer can speak in many different languages (which is actually very surprising because of his stupidity). Though the most likely only reason is because he is able to pick up different languages very easily, as the languages he can speak are: Spanish, Chinese, Penguin, Japanese (from when he an Bart went to prison is Japan), and Indian.

Defying Laws of Science
In addition to being able to accomplish what no man of his health and standing could even possibly do, Homer has been able to accomplish things that defy all logic and reason whatsoever, such as causing cornflakes and milk to burst into flames and cause a nuclear meltdown in a testing van, despite no materials that could cause this being present in it at the time.

Intelliegence
Homer's intelligence is far smaller then what the average man's should be, as he he once had an X-ray done and it showed that his brain was very small in size. He usaully is known to have stupidity, dimwitness and many other things, though at times Homer's intelligence can be much greater then what his usaul intelligence is, as said above that he can speak in a vast magority of languages.

D'oh!
D'oh is most likely the most well known catchphrase of Homer, which he says freqeuntly when frustrated or angred, as well he isn't always the only saying it, as other Simpsons family members have said it (once the entire family all said it at once). D'oh has so much popularity that it is even recognized in some dictionaries (one of which is the Oxford English Dictionary).

Mmm...
Mmm... is another well known catchpharse of Homer. Homer will usaully say it when thinking about food, though he will sometimes say it when it doesn't involve any food, such as saying "Mmm...hug". THough lately in the show this catchphrase isn't said anymore.

Woo Hoo!
Woo Hoo is the other well known catchphrase of Homer, he usaully says this when he is happy.
