“Kids, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.” – The wisdom of Homer Simpson.
The Simpsons, the longest-running scripted television show in history, is a television show about the satiric adventures of a working class family in the misfit city of Springfield. The Simpsons is meant to portray the typical middle class American family and to parody the American lifestyle and human behavior in general.
The Simpson family is dysfunctional is more ways than can be described. However, the show’s use of situational comedy is quite entertaining, and that is all that matters to American viewers. “D’oh!” – the phrase Homer uses when something bad happens or is about to happen to him – has even become an official word in both the Merriam Webster Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.
