OJ likely murdering his wife has to be the answer here, right?

Don't forget Ron Goldman too.

Abe Simpson throwing Homer under the bus for the attempted murder of Mr. Burns.

Also possibly Abe Simpson shooting down a German airplane. If he actually did it. (In 1994, not during WW2)

Edit: Oh and I guess Abe Simpson cheating on his fiancรฉ, getting the side woman pregnant, giving up the baby, and keeping everything secret from Homer and his other son until he thought he was on his deathbed.

And then when Abe Simpson told young Homer his mother was dead and never came clean until she showed up again.

Man, Abe sucks. Itโ€™s a wonder Homer didnโ€™t stick him in that crooked home he saw on 60 Minutes.

[โ€“] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Yeah... When you put it that way Abe is actually a horrific character.

[โ€“] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

I appreciate your comedic timing on the German plane

[โ€“] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Abe is the Grampa Joe of the Simpsons

Abe didn't fake being disabled till he could take advantage of the situation. Joe is worse

Bart ruined all of Australia with that frog

Well Homer routinely strangles his sonโ€ฆ.

[โ€“] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

But he did return Bartโ€™s turtle alive and well.

Only when he deserved it.

Homer overpolluted the lake causing the US government to isolate and eventually try to destroy all of Springfield with everyone in it.

[โ€“] potterpockets@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Homer definitely fucked with multiple timeline branches in one of the earlier Treehouse of Horror episodes when he has the time machine toaster. The ecological impact of wiping out the dinosaurs in one alone alone is pretty significant.

[โ€“] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We can't count tree house of horrors episodes.

[โ€“] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean, they have numbers in the episode title

[โ€“] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Itโ€™s understood that the events of Halloween episodes arenโ€™t canon. Theyโ€™re like Futurama What If episodes.

[โ€“] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

It's a joke about counting stuff with numbers in the episode name

[โ€“] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

There is no singular canon, only what is convenient for the episode. You're right about Treehouse episodes being "less canon" than most others, but there very few things that are permanent in the show that haven't been changed or couldn't be changed in a future episode. So it's a sliding scale of "canonism"

[โ€“] BassTurd@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

They locked up Hugo and gave him fish heads for food. That's pretty shitty.

Homer framing Marge for a DUI was pretty disgusting.

"Homer no! That's Elon Musk, probably the greatest inventor of our time!!" https://youtu.be/_QzWDxlJ7Kc

Certain lines in scripted media should come with a "sponsored by" attached to them.

Grimes did that to himself. Homer genuinely didn't do anything wrong.

[โ€“] trustnoone@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Grimes: you've.. been to out of space? You??

Homer: sureee, you've never been?

https://youtu.be/axHoy0hnQy8?si=tz4P1iC1iJyi51-I

This was just sooo good. Feels bad that Grimes just dealt a bad hand in life.

Not the family. But Principal Skinner not showing Chalmers his Aurora borealis thatโ€™s situated right in his kitchen is pretty dog.

Lisa giving up, potentially, millions without thinking about her family

We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?

[โ€“] Bassword@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

That's called justice.

[โ€“] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

didn't homer blow up the nuclear plant and kill everyone in a non canon ending at least once?

[โ€“] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Homer framed Marge for drunk driving once, dunno if it's the worst but it's pretty bad.

Bart got Milhouse wanted by the FBI
