About this sound
Homer Simpson delivers the Spanish line y no es gripa, gordito in this short Simpsons clip, often dropped as a sarcastic reply when someone claims to be sick.
This short clip captures Homer Simpson speaking in Spanish, delivering the teasing line y no es gripa, gordito in a blunt, dismissive tone that lands like a punchline. His voice is loud and slightly exasperated, with the emphasis falling on gordito, turning a simple denial about the flu into a playful insult aimed at someone who is clearly not fooling anyone. The delivery feels instantly familiar to Simpsons fans, even without the surrounding scene, because Homer's mix of impatience and affectionate mockery comes through in just a few seconds. It works best as a quick reaction, cutting through an excuse with humour rather than a long explanation.
