Doh!

The episode where Lisa babysits older brother Bart, here is the exchange...

Lisa: "BART, go to bed." moments later...

Bart is sitting at the table eating bread.

Lisa: "Bart, I told you to go to bed."

Bart: "No you didn't. You said go to BREAD."

Bart continues to eat bread.

One of the funniest episodes is where the family goes to Dr. Marvin Monroe and gets hooked up to an electro-shock therapy thing.

Just testing.

Homer, a manual labourer in a nuclear power plant, is an individualist who teaches his kids not to worry too much about what others think of them.

Ummmm....Homer is a saftey inspector. This is not manual laborer. The author tries to pull out of context to prove his point....but the whole picture is a different story. I can pull things out of context that show Homer is a terrible parent. In last nights re-run he was Internet sleuth Mr. X. While absorbed in this, Bart tells Homer that he has been suspended and they found a knife and that he is angry all the time. Homer pays him no attention.

Don't get me wrong, but I hate when people try to find a deep meaning of nothing. I love Homer....but I won't say that he is this or that because he is nothing but paper cuttouts and a varying array of different writers.

All parents can learn from Homer's ability to control his kids without yelling or using bribery.

Has this guy ever watched the show? Homer yelling "Why you...!" while choking Bart is one of the ongoing gags. Nice take on a funny show, but it's a reach.

Yet more evidence that the liberal mind is so shot through with chaos and pathos that putting together any type of cognitive argument is well beyond its capacity.

Fact and reality whiz by their comprehension like raindrops in a hurricane. The resulting perception of the world around them is composed of largely missing information and poorly arranged “thought”.

Apu and Homer travel to India to meet the CEO of Quickie Mart. CEO: You may ask me three question.

Apu: Thats great cause I only have one.

Homer: Are you REALLY the head of the quickie mart?

CEO: Yes

Homer: Really ?

CEO: Yes

Homer: You?

CEO: Thank you come again.

There is no doubt in my mind that Homer is a brilliant man.

You know, I have only vomited twice in the past 45 years; this story almost made me reach three.

This is the most moronic article I've ever read and it would take too long to refute the author's assertions point-by-point with examples from the episodes (all of which I've seen countless times).

Favorite Homer parenting quote:

"Lisa, just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand".

The Wisdom of Homer Simpson

"Now son, you don't want to drink beer. That's for daddies, and kids with fake IDs."

"Marge, it takes two to lie: One to lie and one to listen."

"Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, "you're making a scene."

"Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel."

"If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers."

"Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time, just like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow. Well, good night."

"Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get."

"Lisa, if you don't like your job, you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."

"I want to share something with you -- the three sentences that will get you through life.
Number one, 'Cover for me.'
Number two, 'Oh, good idea, boss.'
Number three, 'It was like that when I got here.'"
