  Lisa Simpson: [Homer receives an award for using his fat body to block a toxic vent] I think it's ironic that Dad saved the day while a slimmer man would have fallen to his death.

  Bart Simpson: Yeah, and I think it's ironic that for once, Dad's butt actually prevented the release of toxic gas...

  Marge Simpson: Bart!

Tres Funnee

Home gains well over 65 pounds in order to get fat and get put on disability. This would allow him to work from home. This leads to near disastrous consequences. Great fat jokes and events caused by Homer's weight. This would be fun for those dealing with COVID to watch.

60 Life Lessons from Homer Simpson

October 17, 2021 Inspiration

Witty sayings about self-development, career achievements, family values, love and more.

Homer Simpson is 65 years old, according to the driver's license, which got into the frame in one of the episodes. It's time to share worldly wisdom.

About self-development

1. Children, you tried your best and still failed. Conclusion: never try. nine0012
2. Son, if you really want to achieve something in life, you have to work hard at it. And now it's quiet: the winning lottery numbers will be announced now.
3. All my life I have had one dream: to achieve all my goals.
4. If it's hard to do something, don't do it.
5. If you don't succeed the first time, give up.
6. Trying is the first step to failure.
7. No matter how good you are at something, there will always be a million people who do it even better. nine0012
8. Beer is the cause and solution of all life's problems.
9. Books are useless! I've only read one, To Kill a Mockingbird, and I never got any idea of ​​how to kill mockingbirds. Of course, she taught me not to judge a person by the color of his skin, but what good did she give me?
10. Son, this is the only time I will say this. Losing is not good.
11. It's not easy to be torn between a pregnant wife and a restless child, but I still carve out my eight hours of watching TV. nine0012
12. The only way to make everyone think good of you is to make everyone think bad of themselves. I'm tired of giving everyone the pleasure to think well of myself.

About career achievements

1. There are three phrases that you should carry with you through life. First: "Cover me." Second: "Oh, great idea, boss!" Third: "When I came, it was already like that."
2. If something goes wrong at work, blame the guy who doesn't speak English. nine0012
3. I think Smithers hired me for my ability to motivate others. Now that I'm around, everyone says they need to work twice as hard.
4. Kill the boss?! Will my hand rise to fulfill the American dream?
5. You don't like your job, but you don't go on strike. You go to work every day and do it somehow. This is the American way.
6. Fell asleep at a meeting? I didn't sleep, I was drunk.
7. Work is work. Take, for example, me. If my factory pollutes the water and poisons the city, by your logic I must be a criminal. nine0012
8. Marge: “Homer, they called from the factory. They say if you don't come tomorrow, you don't have to show up on Monday." Homer: "Yo-hoo! Four days off!”
9. You can work multiple jobs at the same time and still be lazy.
10. Give a man a fish and he will eat all day. Teach a man to fish, and he will certainly catch a hook on the eyelid or something like that.

About family values ​​

1. Marge, two people are involved in a lie. One to lie and one to listen. nine0012
2. Son, in sports it's not about winning or losing. The main thing is to get drunk.
3. Space aliens! Please don't eat me! I have a wife and children. Eat them!
4. Old people don't need company. They need to be isolated and studied to find out if they contain any substances useful to us.
5. Bart, with $10,000 we'd be millionaires! We could buy anything, like... love!
6. Marge, don't disturb the boy! It is important to learn how to avoid obligations. This is what distinguishes us from animals. nine0012
7. So, it's already one in the morning. It's better to go home and spend some time with the kids.
8. Schoolyard code, Marge! Rules that make a man out of a boy. Let's see... Don't gossip. Always make fun of those who are different from you. Never say anything until you're sure everyone else thinks the same as you. What else?..
9. Just because I'm not worried doesn't mean I don't understand.
10. Dad, you have done a lot of good things in life, but you are very old and old people are useless. nine0012
11. I see the smiles of my children. And I understand that they started something bad.
12. My mother once said one thing that haunts me. She said, "Homer, you're a big disappointment." She meant something.
13. My father never believed in me. I will not repeat his mistakes: from today I will be softer with my son. And tougher with my father.
14. Dad wanted to say that the family is the coffin, and the children are the nails in its lid.

About love

1. You know, boys, a nuclear reactor is like a woman. You just need to read the instructions and press the right button in time.
2. Son, women are like beer. They smell good, they look good, and you're willing to step over your own mother to get them. But don't stop at one.
3. When it comes to compliments, women become irrepressible blood-sucking monsters and demand more, more and more. But if their desire is satisfied, the payment will be sweet.
4. If a woman says that everything is is so , so everything is wrong . And if she says that everything is wrong , then is generally wrong .
5. I won't go to bed with a woman who thinks I'm lazy. Let him make a sofa in the living room. I want to sleep.
6. Marge, I don't want to scare you, but I think I love you...

About money

1. Oh no! What have I done! I broke my little boy's piggy bank! And for what? Just a few miserable cents, not even enough for one beer. Wait a minute, let me count and make sure… not even close. nine0012
2. All is well, don't panic. If anything, I'll make money by selling one of my kidneys. Both are useless to me.
3. Fool and money part quickly. I would pay a lot to someone who would explain this pattern to me.

Philosophy, religion and education

1. I'm not a bad guy! I work hard, I love my children. So why should I spend half my Sunday listening to how I'm going to hell?
2. What is the point of leaving the house? We still come back every time. nine0012
3. Stupid risk gives meaning to life.
4. Of course, everything will look bad if you remember this.
5. I can't believe it! Reading and writing actually brings results.
6. And when will I finally understand this? The solution to all life's problems is not at the bottom of the bottle, but on TV!
7. How can education make me feel smarter? Every time I remember something, it takes up space, pushing something old out of my brain. Like the time I took a wine class and then forgot how to drive. nine0012
8. People can come up with any statistic to prove anything. 14% of people know this.
9. Facts are absolutely meaningless. You can use facts to prove any fiction.

The important things in life

1. Being popular is the most important thing in the world.
2. Beer… My only weakness. My Achilles heel, if you will.
3. You can't constantly blame yourself for something. Blame yourself once and move on with your life. nine0012
4. To be loved, you have to be nice to everyone every day. To hate, you don’t have to strain at all.
5. From now on, I will look forward to everything. Oh my God! Tomorrow there will be a special promotion: two piano benches for the price of one! Oh-oh-oh, maybe tomorrow!
6. Do I need to do anything for this?
