The MOST Complete Homer Simpson Timeline (no detail left out)

This Homer Simpson timeline is one of the most detailed videos I’ve ever done. I've gone over all 765 full episodes of Matt Groening's The Simpsons to line up all of his flashbacks, flash forwards, and basically any clues about Homer Simpson's past, present and future on the show to build his full story. I’ve also looked through the comics, and the books, to make this timeline the most detailed it could possibly be.
Despite the complexities of floating timelines, and changing ages - as well as conflicting flashbacks, flashforwards, and present day events - I’ve been able to build a pretty consistent timeline for Homer. This is by sticking to his age rather than the dates stated in the episodes.
So, this is the complete, complete, timeline of Homer J. Simpson.

Disappointed that Bongo being renamed ‘Hendrix’ didn’t somehow turn into it being the old, stinky farm dog owned by the hippies in the episode where Homer discovers his middle named, which was also coincidentally named ‘Hendrix’ 😅 I thought there was some weird connection there.

[@javianwilliams7463]

I’m gonna think the reason for Homer’s dumbness is a mix of 🖍️, ☢️, and 🧬. BONUS: I feel you at 2:20, Lydia. I found my old as heck 3DS Sound recordings, and… let’s just say that no amount of therapy will ever make that moment okay. EXTRA BONUS: 29:25 If you/I said it once, it’s been said many times.

If anything when Homer's mom shows up to meet newborn Bart, Homer could just say or think it was a dream that his Mom risked getting caught by the FBI to meet her first and only grandson

[@stephanieclark8327]

When you think about how much Mr Burns screwed Homer's life up it's AMAZING the amount of kindness and compassion Homer gives Mr Burns in certain episodes. Homer is definitely more selfless than he gets credit for sometimes.

[@TheSpy149]

Even still burns is better than liberal Lisa

[@kayleighbrown459]

Homer is more thoughtless than selfish, I feel. He thinks of his own wants first but it's not because he doesn't care about others, he just doesn't think.

Alright, let's go! I've been telling my nan about you and the Flying Hellfish Patreon all day. From the way I've described you I think Nan thinks you're like an MI5 agent. 😁

[@Horsley-Green]

Also I think it's the crayon and the radiation that turned Homer into, well, Homer. I don't like thinking about the Simpson gene. Not because I dislike the episode, because I don't, but I feel sorry for Bart knowing that he'll eventually become thick as pig smeg. Poor smeghead. He's a little git but I love him.

[@Horsley-Green]

Also also, I prefer they stick to one time period. I'm a fan of things from before I was born in December 2004, and I'll be horrified if Homer is eventually said to be born around the same time as me. I wish I was born around about the same time as you were; Simpsons followed by Robot Wars sounds awesome, but watching Simpsons on Disney Plus and Robot Wars on here doesn't feel the same, even if I wasn't there at the time. Or even if I was born a decade before that, 1980s and 90s British sitcoms are my favourite things to watch. They have a couple good ones across the pond too: Simpsons obviously, but I like watching Yeardley Smith and Hank Azaria in Herman's Head on here too. And my dad is always happy if I stick on a bit of Married With Children or Home Improvement.

[@kayleighbrown459]

I like that as inconsistent as the Simpsons is, they manage to keep up with the idea of Homer being really into music. It kinda makes his relationship with Maggie even sweeter because she obviously inherited it from him and managed to achieve that level of Stardom that he was never able to.

[@Tmations.]

There's an episode where moe removes the crayon from his nose and he becomes a genius so it's the crayon

[@megandenniston3646]

That’s my reasoning

[@jtszabo1691]

I haven’t read the comic and I just use this as background noise when I’m driving so I didn’t see what it said on the page, but my guess is he knew her maiden name. I always thought Mrs. Krabappel was her married name.

[@dimebagdave77]

Many, many thanks ✌️ this is HUGE..

[@groggersthedestroyerAAL]

29:55 when Homer runs off screaming after finding out Marge is pregnant with Lisa, whilst he’s running up the stairs ripping out his hair, on the wall there’s a photo of 8 year old Lisa and a photo of Homer and Marge where Homer was already bald even though he only just became bald in that scene Something I’ve never noticed in the 500 times I’ve watched these episodes haha

[@charale1409]

Your so good at theorizing

[@kaitlyn__L]

It’s so weird seeing pre-kids Homer with an 00s fringe. And Marge with that super-relaxed and sprayed hairstyle at the same time… Somehow I never noticed that they were in an apartment in the episode about Bart’s childhood, but in the one about Lisa being born (and the bowling alley) they were already in the house. That reoccurring angle of him running up the stairs, tearing his hair out, was burnt into my brain as the “definitive” one.

[@EPGamer22]

44:12 Wow, if only he was like this as a father

[@fatalswooper]

Hey, so I found 2 predictions in season 20, episode 8, the burns and the bees. The first prediction I saw was the mavericks and the Celtics, now these two nba teams indeed have played each other before, however, this year on June 6, they will be playing each other for the first time in nba history, seemed kind of odd to me, and nobody has actually made any content about it. The other prediction is near the end of the episode. Burns builds a brand new stadium for his basketball team, and bees get released into the stadium, which recently happened with the state farm stadium in Arizona. I think it would be pretty cool if you made a video about these two predictions, as nobody has before. Thanks if you read this comment, also if you do make a video about it, please mention that I found out about it.

[@BigK13372]

Y’know, seeing how Mr. Burns is the guy who has stripped Homer of the two things (his mother and dog) he cared deeply about in his life, its retroactively cathartic that Maggie is the one who shot Mr. Burns.

[@B1_1_9_7_5]

[@tomcarpenter1801]

You know the episodes where the tell three stories like the revenge episode can you do a kill count for them

[@eliassmeke3991]

I like 👍 to see Homer as a teen in different decades

[@Interfaune]

The Simpsons timeline has been floating since they decided to make "Lisa's First Word". People mostly dislike "That 90's Show" just because it makes them feel old. I, for one, think that part of the charm with the Simpsons is that they're so universal that they can fit in any time and place. Just look at the anthology stories! I do however have some issue with how they've retconned that Homer thought Mona was dead until present day-age. That messes majorly with the history in relation to the characters' lives, independent of our real world time.

[@KcLenea]

I kind of think the simpsons show exists as an examination of a family over multiple universes and timeliness. Like Kane and Konos are putting this family and their town through different situations and recording the results that's why they're (or at least used to) be watching Springfield so much.

[@CeemPlay]

Young Homer

[@Thatblackcircle]

I love your content! I find all your videos funny! On both channels too!

[@Thatblackcircle]

also, 🧬

[@Francen_Rita02]

It seems to me that Homer could have problems in school not only because of genes, radiation, crayons, etc., but also because of alcoholism and his father's upbringing. Alcohol itself affects the brain and it seems that even in the series itself this was said and shown. And because of seeing a father who practically did not support him (at least in childhood) and did not praise him, he could simply gradually lose interest in studying.

[@frabrezial]

4 seconds into the video and i’ve already learned that me and Homer Simpson share the same birthday 🤣

[@jrichsaxofficial]

It's was the crayon because I remember one episode Homer got the crayon out as surgery and become smart

[@andeeharry]

Homer just rocks...just love him. You know, it has been said that the creators are in talks with Disney to create a young Homer Simpson series and you know, I would love to see that. Do the same thing here, as to what Spongebob did with Patrick Star Show and Camp Koral. Do the prequel, tie everything together that leads to modern day. I really hope they manage this. ''WHOO HOO''

[@magaman1776]

I honestly wish the simpsons would do a set timeline instead of a floating one when it comes to things like Homers childhood almost like what KOTH did in the early years where characters aged

[@chad9186]

I have a theory that all those mysterious Homer duplicates you certain episodes are more of Abe's unknown relatives

[@chad9186]

This could've been a good video for Father's Day

[@Piranhamatt]

That class of 74 "50 year anniversary" is this year!

[@lightgivemepower6425]

Honestly this just tells me that Homer's life would of been better if some of these events happened differently. Homer in these flashbacks and comics shown that he use to be smart, and even after the simpsons genes hit(as well as the radiation and the crayon cramped into his brain), he was still shown to be talented and gifted, especially when he's motivated enough. But with Mona and Abe arguing all the time, Abe not being supportive of Homer, and Mona and Bongo Leaving because of Mr.Burns... Homer's life up until he married Marge is mostly depressing

[@SezFrancis1]
