Homer Simpson (seasons 1-11a, 31-present)

Homer Simpson (born May 12, 1956) is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons as the patriarch of the eponymous family. He is also the unofficial mascot of the mh:greatestmovies:20th Century Fox film studio (now a subsidiary of Disney since 2019) and the Fox Broadcasting Company.

Why He Deserves Some Donuts

 * 1) He is one of the most iconic cartoon characters ever created apart from iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, SpongeBob SquarePants, Super Mario, Bob the Builder, Pikachu from Pokémon, Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Sonic the Hedgehog, Thomas the Tank Engine and Tom and Jerry. He is also possibly one of the most famous fictional characters out there.
 * 2) He is one of the biggest adult cartoon icons in history.
 * 3) His iconic "D'oh" catchphrase, which was so popular that it actually became a word in the dictionary as an exclamation to express dismay of realizing that one's actions seem stupid or when something has gone wrong.
 * 4) His famous obsession with donuts is timeless and funny.
 * 5) He is an extremely caring and loving man when he needs to be, like when he stood up for Ned Flanders, now that's something to show Ned respect for a change.
 * 6) Homer's moments of stupidity and accident-prone clumsiness were always done hilariously.
 * 7) And in spite of Homer's foolish & comical demeanor, on the intelligence front, when properly motivated or passionate about something, he can be very efficient: across various episodes, he's become a top employee for Globex, started a very successful home security business, and was able to trick Mr. Burns into making him CEO of the power plant, which he did in revenge for his rather comprehensive safety report being ignored.
 * 8) *Homer can be incredibly intelligent when in various episodes. He speaks several languages, is a Grammy-Award-winning songwriter and musician, a skilled poker player, a master marksman, and may know a bit of astrophysics. He's also juggled many, many careers with varying degrees of success, pulled off a scheme to trick Mr. Burns into making him CEO of the power plant, and formed a security company so successful and efficient that Quimby appointed him chief of police and fired Wiggum. The episode "HOMR" reveals he has a crayon stuck up his nose that limits his brain functionality, but when he has it temporarily removed his IQ jumps 50 points and he realizes his full potential (before having it put back at the end of the episode).
 * 9) With that said, he can be a great husband and father at times.
 * 10) He has accomplished some great feats. For example, he once started a buddy cop relationship with Ned Flanders, which is badass.
 * 11) He was in a great band when he was younger.
 * 12) His mean-spirited nature can be hilarious, especially when he strangles Bart (despite promoting child abuse), and even in the Tracey Ullman show shorts, and also in the first season.
 * 13) He got upset when he made his first enemy, showing that he does not want to hold grudges with anyone.
 * 14) He has had many memorable and hilarious forms of chemistry with Flanders (despite Homer belittling him most of the time), Mr. Burns (despite how deceptive he is), and even his own brain.
 * 15) Dan Castellaneta's voice role for him is just what an airhead father always says.
 * 16) As for now, he was an employee lesser than 200 jobs, making him the most worked animated character from different jobs in history!
 * 17) He managed to recover from Flanderization starting with Season 31.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can act insensitive and lazy at times.
 * 2) His running gag of strangling Bart, while hilarious depending on your view, is still child abuse nonetheless.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) His character sadly got flanderized completely during Seasons 11-30, even though he isn't as horrible as Peter Griffin. Thankfully, he did finally manage to recover from flanderization in Season 31, but he still has some flaws that remain. Though depending on your view, he, along with Bart, is still likable.
 * 5) *Even before his flanderization in Season 11 and even after he recovered from flanderization, he sometimes has mean-spirited moments that can be unfunny and just sad, and he is sometimes miswritten as totally selfish and uncaring, and as borderline abusive towards his family and friends, which is very notable in the episode "Homer Simpson in: "Kidney Trouble"", in which he made his father lose his kidneys and spent nearly half of the episode trying his hardest to not save him.
