Despite his many character mistakes and the fact he doesn't always treat his family or friends the best, Homer Simpson is still one of the most popular The Simpsons characters. For over 30 years now, audiences have enjoyed watching Homer's escapades and adventures with his family as well as in his work in The Simpsons.
Homer Simpson isn't a typical hero, but perhaps that's what makes him so refreshing and original. Even though he often does more harm than good, he cares about his loved ones and has a sense of humor. As such, the fans have made many hilarious memes about Homer that will never get old.
7 The Biggest Threat To Car Owners
While Homer damages or totals his own car several times in the series, he usually isn't the one fixing the car and goes to a mechanic instead. Even though there are plenty of decent mechanics out there, the meme makes fun of those who overcharge people for their services.
Homer's evil, greedy expression in the meme helps sell the joke it's trying to convey. It's easy to fool someone and ask them for too much money if they don't know anything about the topic at hand.
6 Sorry Not Sorry
Apologizing for the mistakes people make or when they accidentally insult someone is a good thing but too many apologies can actually be harmful. Many people know the situation when somebody tells them to stop apologizing and their first instinct is to apologize for apologizing too much.
In that case, they should take a page out of Homer's book as Homer sucks back his mouth so that a single word of apology couldn't escape it. The Simpsons fans will know, though, that Homer isn't always so eager to admit he did something wrong, let alone apologize unless he's having one of his more profound Homer moments.
5 Procrastination Is Real
Of all The Simpsons characters, Homer isn't the most active one. He does no sports, has very few hobbies (other than watching TV), and when he leaves work, he usually likes to drink beer and hang out with his friends. As a result, Homer is the ideal subject for this meme that shows how tempting and easy it is not to do anything when people have a lot of things on their plate.
Procrastination is a real struggle as having too many duties and tasks can actually freeze a person and stop them from doing anything at all simply because they don't know what to do first.
4 When The Family Members Are Traitors
Other than his love for beer, Homer also loves eating and several of The Simpsons best episodes focus on his struggle to lose weight or to gain it. Homer is able to eat many things at once, so it's not a stretch to imagine that if his family ate all the food, he wouldn't be happy about it in the slightest.
Homer would probably take it as a personal insult and would leave the house for a while to make it clear that he doesn't wish to speak to his family right now. And as for his insulted expression, the meme portrays it well, as this Homer clearly doesn't want to speak a single word to his daughter Lisa.
3 The Simple Joys Of Life
One of the lessons that many The Simpsons viewers could learn from Homer is to just enjoy all the simple joys of life. One of them is the fact that Tuesday means it's one day closer to the weekend and freedom from work. Homer doesn't like his work at the nuclear plant very much and as one of the episodes reveals, his dream was to work at a bowling alley.
He got the job and was good at it, but then Maggie came along and Homer had to make sure he would be able to provide for his family, so he returned to the plant. Even though Homer's not that fond of his job, he can still find positive things in it, and being closer to the weekend is one of them.
2 Hobbies Can Be Dangerous
Having hobbies is a good thing since it helps people relax after work and take their mind off other worries. However, when a hobby scares other people or turns into a fixation or even an obsession that its fans can't stop talking about, that's when problems begin. Especially if the loved ones aren't so happy about what their family members or friends are constantly discussing.
When Homer visits Moe's bar with his unusual companions, Moe looks terrified, and it's easy to imagine that many people would wear a similar expression if somebody they know was doing something strange and was so obsessed with it that they would spend hours talking about the topic.
1 Unexpected Attack
Some of the best memes don't shy away from using dark humor. In this case, the meme uses the scene in which Bart hits Homer with a chair and the one in which Homer wants to return the dubious favor. The meme points out that the boomers did a lot of damage to planet Earth and made global warming worse. That's unfair to them since this is a much more complex problem.
However, almost everyone will no doubt agree that the covid-19 pandemic took the world by surprise and its attack was just as sudden and sneaky as Homer's attempt to get his revenge on Bart.
