To celebrate Fathers Day which is just around the corner and way better than Mothers day, we will be listing some really bad fictional dads between now and then. First up is the original bad dad, Homer Simpson.
Over the past 2 decades plus, the original bad cartoon dad has reformed his image thanks to a receptive public who’s gotten used to him and now say, “oh strangling the child? That’s just his way.” Well I’m here to say that only red haired children should be strangled, not the yellow haired cartoon ones.
Is he really that bad?
1. Fine, we all strangle our children now and then. If that’s the worst he’s done, who could say anything bad about him?
2. The man has put his family in great physical danger numerous times. In the Simpsons Movie the entire family was very nearly murdered by an angry mob incited by Homer. Hard to overlook that.
3. He’s a drunk who seems to enjoy drinking and driving. Not only that, but being dead tired has never stopped him from getting behind the wheel, even with the kids in the car with him.
4. And finally, although this list could go on, Homer Simpson cannot hold a job. Sure, he’s worked at the power plant all hid adult life, but he’s also been fired or quit probably close to 200 times. It’s only thanks to a seriously incompetent human resources department which cannot seem to keep its paperwork in order, that the man can still feed his family.
Let’s be honest, any of us real dads doing any of this stuff (except for the strangling) and courts wold roast us over an open fire. So in conclusion let me say, bad Homer, bad…
