Welcome to the site dedicated to the wit and wisdom of one of the great thinkers and philosophers of our time, Homer Simpson. If you, like me, have sought that special quote from the man voted in high school, "most likely to be a mental patient, hillbilly, or chimpanzee", then look no further.
Got any quotes, email me.Homer Jr. (the other kids call me Ho-Ju)

Lisa:
Why do you hate the Isotopes so much,
Dad?

Even you?

“Well of course, everything looks bad if you
remember it!”
Homer
“Son,
when you participate in sporting events, it’s not whether you win or lose: it’s
how drunk you get.” Homer

don’t discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s

it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.” Homer
"You can't keep blaming yourself. Just

library selling books? I don’t want them for free, why would I pay for them?”

directions. Now, where's my giant foam cowboy hat and air-horn?
Lisa: Bart’s acting funny.
Homer: Ray Jay funny, or OJ funny?
Bart: Somebody ought to ruin Gabbo's career the way he ruined Krusty's.
Lisa: Two wrongs don't make a right, Bart.

Lisa: No, they don't.
Bart: Yes, they do.
Lisa: No, they don't.
Bart: Yes, they do.
Lisa: Daaaad!
Homer: Two wrongs make a right, Lisa.
Lisa:
A rose by any other name would smell as
sweet.
Bart:
Not if you called them Stinkblossoms!
Homer:
Or Crapweeds.
Marge:
I’m not sure I’d like to get a dozen
Crapweeds on Valentine’s Day, I’d rather have candy.

Not if they were called Scumdrops!

Captain: Welcome
aboard the ship of the damned!
Homer:
Name on the back says ‘Honeybunch’.

going out, Marge. If we don’t come back, avenge our deaths.” Homer
Lisa:

word for crisis as opportunity?
Homer:
Yes! Crossitunity!
Bart:
That’s a hitch-hiker, Homer.
Homer:
Ooh, let’s pick him up!
Marge: No! What if
he’s crazy?

And what if he’s not? Then we’d look
like idiots.

“Come on,
Marge, I want to shake off the dust of this one-horse town. I wanna explore the
world. I wanna watch TV in a different time zone. I wanna explore strange
exotic malls. I’m sick of eating hoagies; I wanna a grinder, a sub, a foot-long
hero. I wanna live, Marge, won’t you let me live? Won’t you, please?”
Homer
"I'm
not outta control! You're outta control! The whole freakin' system's outta

You'll know what to do - forget it Marge - it's

I will give up the civil war recreation
society I so dearly love.
Bart: And I will take up smoking and give that up!
Homer: Good boy, that's a tough thing to have to go through. Here's a dollar.
Lisa: But he didn't DO anything!
Homer: Didn't he, Lisa? Didn't he?
Homer:
Marge, I'm bored ...
Marge: Why don't you read a book, then?
Homer: Because I'm trying to reduce my boredom.
"Don't
let Krusty's death get you down boy. People die all the time, just like that [snaps fingers]. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow!
Well, good night." Homer

"Do
you want the job done right, or do you want it done fast?"
Homer
Bart:
Mom! My slingshot doesn't fit in these
pockets. And these shorts leave nothing to the imagination. These uniforms
suck.
Marge: Bart, where do you pick up words like that?
Homer (on the phone): Yeah, Moe, that team sucked last night. Now I've seen a team suck, but
they just plain sucked, they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked…
Gotta go Moe, my damn wiener kids are listening!
“Joke’s
on them, I’m still alive.” Homer
after being tossed out of Moe’s
Homer:
Seatbelts? They kill more people than
they save!
Lisa:
Dad, that’s not true. You’re thinking of
airbags.
"Herman,
how could you? We've all thought about counterfeiting jeans at one time or
another, but what about the victims? Hard-working designers like Calvin Klein,
Gloria Vanderbilt, or Antoine Bugle Boy. These are the people who saw an
overcrowded marketplace and said, ‘Me, too!’" Homer
"Marge,
you being a cop makes you the man! Which makes me the woman – and I have no
interest in that, besides wearing the underwear, which, as we discussed, is
strictly a comfort thing." Homer

“It was a
tumultuous time for a nation. The clear beverage craze gave us all a reason to

“Remember
what Vince Lombardi said: If you lose, you're outta the family”
Homer
"The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The
rules that teach a boy to be a man. Let's see. Don't tattle. Always make fun of
those different from you. Never say anything, unless you're sure everyone feels
exactly the same way you do."
Homer

It’s the next best thing to paying attention to the road.

And it's not just the sex. It's also the food preparation."

Marge:
How would you like it if I entered a
belching contest?
Homer:
Frankly I’d be a little turned-on.
"I'm going to the backseat of my car
with the woman I love, and I won't be back for TEN MINUTES."
Homer
Marge:
One
quick snuggle.
Homer:
Is there
any other kind?
Mr
Burns:
Homer, I
want you to show this woman the time of her life.
Homer:
Right
ho. Marge, we’re getting drive-thru and doing it twice.
"Ah, sweet pity! Where would my love
life have been without it?"
Homer
"Son, a woman is like a beer. They
smell good, they look good, you'd step over your own mother just to get one!
But you can't stop at one. You wanna drink another woman!"
Homer

Lisa:
Aunt Selma, this may be presumptuous, but have you ever considered

Lovejoy: Dearly beloved...
Homer:
Wait! I want one last chance to enjoy
single life. [Scratches his butt and
belches] Okay, ready.
Lovejoy:
I will now read these special vows which
Homer has prepared for this occasion. "Do you, Marge, take Homer, in
richness and in poorness" -- poorness is underlined -- "in impotence
and in potence, in quiet solitude or blasting across the alkali flats in a
jet-powered, monkey-navigated"...[consults
the notecards]...and it goes on like
this.
Marge [to Lisa]: You look like the wife of a businessman.
Homer: I wish I’d married a businessman. Then I could have had nice things.

Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Maggie, Dog, and Vegas Wife. Dog is crossed out
and rewritten between Homer and Marge.]
Marge:
I’m afraid we’re going to need a bigger
place.
Homer: No we won’t. I’ve got it all figured out. The baby can have Bart’s crib
and Bart’ll sleep with us until he’s 21.
Marge: Won’t that warp him?
Homer: My cousin Frank did it.
Marge: You don’t have a cousin Frank.
Homer: He became Francine back in ’76. Then he joined that cult. I think his
name is Mother Shabubu now.
“Kids are great. You can teach them to hate what you hate. And they practically raise themselves, what with the Internet and whatnot.” Homer
Marge: Homey, I’m worried how fast our kids are
growing up.
Homer: It’s the beef hormones, and the
fluorescent lights. What are you gonna do?
Homer: Someday when Lisa and Bart get married all this’ll all be theirs.
Bart & Lisa: Yuck!
Marge: You mean when they marry other people.
Homer: Whatever, but I’m not paying for two weddings.

you go to your rooms and spank yourselves.” Homer [to Bart and Lisa]
Marge:
Homer, you can’t punish the children
just because you can’t come up with an idea.
Homer:
I don’t see why not, they’re my kids, I
own them.
Homer
[to Lisa]: You’ll
be in your cold, cold grave before that ever happens.
Marge:
Homer, will you please stop talking
about the children’s graves.
Homer:
Well if kids are so innocent, why is
everything bad named after them? Acting childish, kidnapping, child abuse.
Bart:
What about adultery?
Homer:
Not until you’re older, son.
"Quiet you kids. If I hear one more
word, Bart doesn't get to watch cartoons, and Lisa doesn't get to go to
college."
Homer
Lisa:
Dad! You can't just leave us by
ourselves, we need a babysitter!
Homer: Lisa, haven't you seen 'Home Alone'?
If some burglars come it'll be a hilarious situation...
"I promise you kids lots of things. That's what makes me such a good father." Homer
Bart:
You can
be my father-figure!
Homer:
No way!
I’m not getting my fingerprints on that train-wreck. But if I lose Maggie,
I’ll be 0 for 3. I got to get her back.
Bart:
I could
help you!
Homer:
Pipe

Bart: Hot damn!
Homer: Bart, you’re not at school, don’t swear!
Homer:
My
daughter’s got strong feelings about it.
Lenny:

Homer
Homer:

Marge:
Homer, your father’s dead!
Homer
[sobs]: He
never even lived to be a vegetable.
Homer:
Oh, my father never even knew how I felt
about him!
Marge:
But you were very open with your
feelings.
Homer:
Sure, I said I loved him. But never
that…I was in love with him!
Homer:
No, he’s got to learn, like my dad made
me learn!
Marge:
He is your dad!
Homer:
Cosmic!
Grandpa
Simpson: Son,
can you forgive an old fool?
Homer
[hugging him]: Only
in public.
Bart:
You know, Grandpa kinda smells like that
trunk in the garage where the bottom's all wet.
Lisa:
Nuh-uh, he smells more like a photo lab.
Homer: Stop it, both of you! Grandpa smells like a regular old man, which is
more like a hallway in a hospital.
Homer: If you don't start making more sense, we're
going to have to put you in a home.
Grandpa: You already put me in
a home.
Homer: Then we'll put you in
the crooked home we saw on ‘Sixty Minutes’!
Grandpa [meekly]: I'll be good.
"Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great
things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless."
"Now Bart, since you broke Grandpa's
teeth, he gets to break yours."
Marge: Lisa, welcome to love. It’s full of doubt,
and pain, and uncertainty. But then one day you find a man you love so much it
hurts.
Homer
[jealous]: Who is
he?
Marge: You, Homey.
Homer: Woo-hoo! In your face, imaginary guy!

Lisa: Where?
Homer: Somewhere in the back.
“Oh,
everything’s too damned expensive these days. Look at this Bible I just got. 15
bucks, and talk about a preachy book. Everybody’s a sinner…except for this
guy.”

nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girls sports, such
as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such."

Ty Cobb, Joseph Stalin." Homer [on Krusty]
Homer:
So I thought, what would God do in my
place?
Bart:
Ha, ha, locusts!

I didn’t tell you to quit your job.
Homer: Yes you did. I remember your exact word.
You said, I should quit my job and become an inventor, or you’d torch the
house.
Marge:
That doesn’t sound like me. Well if this
doesn’t work out you can always go back to the plant.
Homer:
Not the way I quit, hee, hee, hoo.
