Homer Simpson (seasons 11b-30)

Homer Simpson is the main protagonist of the show,  The Simpsons.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He has become a moronic jerkass (especially in seasons 9-12), doing mean stuff that the old Homer would never do, like physically abusing his son for minor backtalk, lying to and stealing from his own family, and frequently being selfish and greedy on a daily basis.
 * 2) His stupidity has been flanderized to the point where it just comes off as annoying rather than charming.
 * 3) Some of the actions he does endanger his family and loved ones (e.g. framing Marge for drunk driving, refusing to let his father Abe go to the bathroom resulting in his kidney bursting.)

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was a far more likeable and funny character in the old seasons.
 * 2) He is a far better father than Peter Griffin, even at his worst.
