Homer Simpson: Homer is the father in the Simpsons family as well as the only person that regularly brings income into the house. He is an idiot, but he is also quite hilarious because of that simple fact. He is worked at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant ever since the start of the show and in the process he has probably single-handedly given the anti-nuclear movement more material than it ever really needed to have.
