Just how dumb is Homer Simpson? Is there anything that is just too stupid that he wouldn’t do? I think so. Homer is a moron but he’s not a complete idiot like Peter Griffin is. Homer has heart and even when he messes up or forgets his family and such, you never doubt that he loves them.

What’s funny is that the producers of “The Simpsons Movie” actually had debates about just how stupid Homer could and couldn’t be in the film.

James Brooks, the “Simpsons” writer/producer who has been with the Fox television series since its start, had a one-word answer when asked if Homer’s pig obsession is the dumbest stunt Homer’s ever pulled. “Absolutely,” he told Reuters.

But “Simpsons” creator Matt Groening is not so sure. Groening noted that Homer once forgot how to dial the emergency phone number 911. Another time, he sought help from a higher power with the plea: “I’m not normally a praying man, but if you’re up there, save me, Superman. The writers and animators compete to see who can come up with the dumbest Homer joke of all.”
