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

Homer Simpson (born in May 12th, 1956) is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons as the patriarch of the eponymous family.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is one of the biggest adult cartoon icons in history.
 * 2) His iconic "D'oh" catchphrase.
 * 3) His famous obsession with donuts.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) He can be a great husband and father at times.
 * 6) He has accomplished some great feats. For example, he once started a buddy cop relationship with Ned Flanders, which is badass.
 * 7) He was in a great band when he was younger.
 * 8) His mean-spirited nature can be hilarious, especially when he strangles Bart, and even in the Tracey Ullman show shorts, and also in the first season.
 * 9) He got upset when he made his first enemy, showing that he does not want to hold grudges with anyone.
 * 10) Dan Castellaneta's voice role for him is just what an airhead father always says.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can act selfish and lazy at times.
 * 2) Sometimes his mean-spirited nature can be unfunny and just sad, that happens in episodes where he is in his worst.
 * 3) He got flanderized, from Season 11 to the present day. He isn't as horrible as Peter Griffin (Seasons 7-current), but at least he can get better.
