Homer Jay Simpson is the main antagonist of "Dial D for Diddly", the second segment of The Simpsons Halloween special "Treehouse of Horror XXII".
He is the patriarch of the Simpson family and Ned Flanders' skeptical neighbour, not believing in God unlike Flanders. However, Homer decides to use a voice filter to impersonate God, so he can manipulate Ned into killing his enemies by convincing him that he is willfully obeying God's orders.
Like his original version, he was voiced by Dan Castellaneta.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- He tricked Ned into thinking he was God using Ned's Holy Bible, which had a secret microphone in it, and manipulated him into killing Homer's enemies and people who wronged Homer's family, lying to Ned that he was being willfully loyal to God. Among the people he sent Ned to kill were:
- An unnamed man, whom Ned chopped in pieces, put inside a bag and threw into the ocean.
- Mr. Burns, whom Ned beheaded, chopped his body in pieces after throwing his head into the Springield Lake and (presumably) later urinated on his ashes like Homer instructed him to do.
- Snake Jailbird, whom Ned ambushed while robbing the museum and killed by slinging a rock against his head.
- Sideshow Bob, whom Ned killed through unknown methods.
- Patty and Selma Bouvier, whom Ned killed by tricking them into stopping their car at the desert to collect free cigarettes and dropping a giant boulder over them in Looney Tunes style.
- While Ned didn't get to murder them due to realizing the truth, Homer was going to send him after an ice cream parlor who gave him a cone with little air and all of Springfield's tall kids just because one didn't let his son Bart see the class chalkboard at school.
- He blasphemously tried to burn down Ned's Holy Bible when Ned called him out for manipulating him into becoming a killer and potentially condemning his soul just to prove to Ned that God doesn't exist, leading God to appear and give Homer his well-deserved punishment by strangling him to death.
- Although many of the individuals Homer sent Ned to kill were bad people or jerks who did do sinful acts (like dropping toxic waste into the Springfield Lake, robbing the museum or targeting his family), it doesn't justify killing them, especially in gruesome ways, especially since Homer only did them out of hatred and not of genuine good intentions.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is played for laughs too much for NPE, due to being a parody of fundamentalist atheists that have a jerkish and arrogant behavior, with his worst crimes being played for black comedy.
- Not to mention he is a bit incompetent, given how he nearly blows up his cover in front of Marge and how Ned ends up discovering his trickery due to joking with his son Bart.
- He loves and cares his family, protecting them at any cost, as he was about to send Ned after a tall kid who didn't let Bart see the class chalkboard at Bart's request.
