Homer Simpson (seasons 11b-30)

NOTE: 110th page on this wiki!

Homer Simpson is the main protagonist of the long-running American animated sitcom The Simpsons. Unfortunately he has been recently flanderized in the recent seasons.

Bad Qualities
NOTE: These are only criticisms, so please don't take these things on a hate result, there are criticisms on to how Homer can improve himself if the show can reach it's grace again someday that we are still waiting on.
 * 1) His first flanderization turned him into a stupid yet lovably eccentric manchild. Eventually, he became a moronic jerkass in Seasons 9-12, physically abusing his son Bart for minor backtalk, lying to and stealing from his own family, and frequently selfish and greedy with the impulse control of a sack of weasels, and effectively an alcoholic in denial, becoming intoxicated on an almost episodic basis, while all the time oblivious of why this might not be acceptable behaviour.
 * 2) His stupidity has been flanderized to the point where it just comes off as annoying rather than charming at times.
 * 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).
 * 4) By Season 15 he had absolutely no emotional control, running out of the room or bursting into tears or throwing an angry tantrum on a regular basis.
 * 5) Ironically his relationship with Flanders is Zigzagged. He started off resentful and jealous towards Flanders if in a passive-aggressive sort of way. Starting from Season 6 he became more and more obsessively hateful towards Flanders and was obsessed with making a fool of him. This toned down greatly after Maude's death (likely because there was little way of having him torment a mourning Flanders without crossing into out-and-out vile territory), his treatment of Ned is finally more like a playful rivalry or even just a case of Innocently Insensitive, and it's about time it has toned down because it almost had Homer take a step too far.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was still a far more likable and funny character due to the fact he is the Hollywood Walk of Fame character like Mickey Mouse, even in the old seasons.
 * 2) He is a far better father than Peter Griffin, Mr. Turner and Pop, even at his worst.
 * 3) Even though his characterization was gone from grace, he still cares about his family and his friends.
 * 4) There are still episodes where he is in his best.
 * 5) His D'oh! catchphrase is still funny.
