The Simpsons, created by Matt Groening, has aired since 1989 with Homer Simpson as its central character, and its French dub gives him a distinctive gruff voice familiar to francophone viewers. Ultra-short reaction clips like this half-second 'oui allo' phone greeting thrive on soundboard sites because they are instantly recognisable and easy to drop into edits. French meme pages and prank videos reuse Homer's deadpan hello for fake calls and cold opens, keeping the character's phone manner a small but durable part of Simpsons meme culture.
