The Simpsons is an animated show that has been running since 1989, and with over seven-hundred episodes aired, the main characters of the series have been on many adventures. However, it is the father of the family, Homer, who seems to have done the most damage to those around him. Homer Simpson is a dim-witted and impulsive cartoon character. As such, the writers of the show have caused this character to act in some unruly ways to push the story forward on more than one occasion.
