Homer Simpson is the central father figure in The Simpsons, the long running animated sitcom created by Matt Groening that began in 1989. Clips of Homer have been shared online for years because his voice and reactions are instantly identifiable, even in short excerpts. The WC version focuses that appeal on toilet humour, a recurring source of gags in the show and in fan edits. Shared on soundboards and in group chats, it survives as a reaction sound for moments people would rather flush away and forget.
