There's more to Homer Simpson than donuts and beer. Sometimes America's favorite animated father can be very insightful - or not. Here are some of the things Homer has said to his family and friends over the past 23 years.

"Kids, just because I don't care doesn't mean I'm not listening."

"You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."

"If the Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement."

"Beer. Now there's a temporary solution."

[Whenever he does something stupid]"D'oh!"

"Son, when a woman says nothing's wrong, it means everything's wrong. When a woman says everything's wrong, it means everything's wrong. And when a woman says that something *isn't* funny, you'd better not laugh your ass off!"

"What's the point of going out? We're just going to wind up back here anyway."

"If it doesn't have Siamese twins in a jar, it is not a fair."

"Weaseling out of things is important to learn.  It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel."

"The problem in the world today is communication.  Too much communication."

"Mmmm, free goo."

"If you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day, and do it really half assed. That's the American way."

"Remember as far as anyone knows, we're a nice normal family."

"Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?"

"No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you."

"Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get."

[Meeting Aliens] "Please don't eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them!"

"Operator! Give me the number for 911!"
