Would you like to have a life like Homer in (classic) Simpsons? :)

[Hoppipolla]

A kind of... normal but obviously flawed family life.

Here is the clip that I quite like watching that made me think to make this thread:




Just thought it would be an interesting question to ask!

 

[NEETAndTidy]

Homer works a shitty job and has 3 kids to feed.

I'd rather be Lenny with his big ass TV from that one episode

Volcel if you wouldn't be Homer.

Homer is a cuck tbh. Let’s Marge boss him around and I think she even cheats on him in one episode. JFL.

Um let’s see:
- having a wife that mogs you heavily, is an actual NAWALT (since it was a character created by a man and thus it’s a nearly idealized version of a woman)
- own a house 2 cars with decent job and not have to do much actual work
- have money for beercoping and then go home and fuck your wife who is much better looking than you
- have friends

Yes, if you wouldn’t take the tradfam option compared to being an incel, something’s wrong with you.

No it was just homer being paranoid she never cheated

Yeah I thought that most people would say yes to this one. But then again when I made my thread about whether people thought that mentalcels existed, I thought that most people would say no... but actually most said yes!

So you can never entirely predict it which is why I thought it was still well worth making the thread!

Overall I think his life is imperfect (isn't everyone's?) but certainly good enough to make me feel fulfilled. When I was first (re)watching that clip on youtube a few years back it really got me thinking about how nice and cosy that kind of family lifestyle is.

I hope I find it myself someday

They need to rewatch the Frank Grimes episode.

 

[Valiant Virgin]

He has kids. So no.

 

[Hoppipolla]

They need to rewatch the Frank Grimes episode.

Definitely!! That's quite a poignant one actually. And that moment when Frank kind of lays into Homer at his house over how he got so much "doing so little" while Frank worked so hard and now has almost nothing... it seemed very clear to me why a man like Homer would do well. He's way more outgoing, friendly and positive than Frank. Frank valued money and achievement above all else whilst Homer valued social accomplishments like a wife, family and friends, and also had the confidence to then actually have these things.

I know it's just a TV show but... you can't measure your worth as a person by how many diplomas you have hanging on your wall. Or you might end up like ol' Grimey!

He works at a nuclear power plant. Im guessing that pays a lot.

To answer OP. No i dont wanna be married to midge or be that low IQ.

 

[Hoppipolla]

Being Flanders is where it's at.

Yeah I like Flanders' life too

Although it must be said we don't know much about his friends or employment situation!

 

[Michael15651]

Not for me tbh

Spongebob is a better fit

 

[StaroRavager]

I’d take that deal

 

[averageblokecel]

@averageblokecel

80s Chad Flanders is better ngl

The last 32 seasons of simpsons since 1990's Bart the Daredevil have all been Homer's coma dream.

So classic Homer is actually the real Homer

This new edgy direction in latest season is very impressive and I like how they abandoned the widescreen format to capture the classic feel.

Wow I hadn't heard about this! I'll have to check that out.

I mean, I like the widescreen look but... yeah to be honest I'd prefer something a bit more ambitious and unique.

Is that clip from it though? I think maybe that's a bit of a silly idea tbh XD

 

[LeFrenchCel]

Volcel if you wouldn't be Homer.

 

[Sheogorath]

Yes it is a canon clip from the recent episode

I wonder if that's the same clip as I originally linked to? I really can't remember and it's been taken down :o

 

[BornToLose]

Gets away with doing nothing at work, has hot/loving wife and can indulge in his addiction every night. Yeah I'd say yes to that.
