Who’d win in a stupidity contest?
I can’t decide which’s lovable stupidity I like more.
Homer is stuck in two vending machines.
Technician: “Homer, are you just holding on to the cans”
Homer:“Your point being?”
Hands down, Homer wins.
FBI agent: “<sigh>…When I say, ‘Hello, Mr. Thompson,’ and step on your foot, you nod. You got it??”
Homer: “No problem.”
FBI agent: “Hello, Mr. Thompson.” <stomp> <stomp> <stomp>
Homer, whispering to other agent: “…I think he’s talking to you.”
Yes, Joey is exceptionally stupid, but all is takes for him to figure things out is for Chander to say “Wait for it…he’ll get it…yes, there it is!”
Homer, without a doubt. No question about it.
I don’t know who Joey is–I’m pretty out of the loop as far as what’s on TV–but I do know that if you look up “stupid” in the dictionary, you’ll find Homer’s picture. With nice old-fashioned cross-hatching.
Well, sort-of. Homer thought his picture would end up attached to the “stupid” entry, then later to the “fraud” entry, but he ended up getting a “Homer” entry of his own: “To pull a Homer: to succeed despite idiocy.”
Still, can anyone picture Joey saying “In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!”
Joey Tribbiani is one of the Friends, who now stars in his own show, Joey, where he’s in Hollywood.
I’m not a big watcher of either of the shows with the Joey character, although I did watch the first episode of Joey (“Hello, and welcome to Hollywood Minute. I’m NAME.”). But as a long time follower of Homer, I must say that guy ain’t too bright.
“Hello. My name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me.”
“Um, what’s your first name, Mr. Burns?”
“I don’t…know.”
I thought this thread was about Homer Simpson vs. Joey Russo. Remember Blossom’s brother, played by Joey Lawrence?
D’oh vs. Whoa! :smack:
paper! Snow!! A GHOST!!!
mmmmmmm… vs howyooodoin?
Homer definitely wins…
Joey’s pretty dumb, but he’s capable of functioning on his own. I have no such confidence in Homer.
:dubious:
Seriously, have you ever watched the Simpsons? This is as much of a “no contest” as a Batman vs. Aunt May thread.
Homer easily outdumbs Joey.
If you’re looking for stupidity to match Homer’s I’d suggest Cosmo from the Fairly Oddparents. He’s so dumb he’s unable to make a fist.
**Joey (to Ross, a paleontologist): ** If the Homosapiens were, in fact, “Homosapien”, is that why they’re extinct?
Ross (frustrated): Joey, Homosapiens are people.
Joey (defensive): Hey, I’m not judging.
Pash
Well, if it’s a fight to the death, we all win.
Homer (worried): He didn’t give you gay did he?!
Cosmo is an idiot, isn’t he? In this similarity, we must look at the other side- the yin to the yang, the tails to the heads…that is, the wife. Both Cosmo and Homer are buffoons, and probably would be a hell of a lot more destructive (both to themselves and to others) if they didn’t have a sense of reason (Wanda and Marge) backing them up. Also, both have a rambuctious child (Timmy and Bart) that only adds to their sense of stupidity. Homer often gives bad advice to Bart, and Cosmo will grant even the stupidest wish.
Speaking of wishes, I’m certainly glad Homer’s not a fairy. To go into the inner psyche of the Simpsonian partriarch, we must go inside his head. Some of the stupidest dream sequences and thoughts Homer has had:
-Homer thinking about something extremely unrelated to whatever everyone else was talking about: himself shooting people with a laser gun while riding a hangglider, commenting, “You can run, but you can’t glide!”
-If Homer won the lottery, he would make himself the tallest man in the world, and be made out of gold. He then imagines himself firing Mr. Burns, then laughing evilly with his hands filled with rubies.
-When Homer was accused with sexual harassment, his plan was to move under the sea to avoid the allegations.
-When Homer decided to buy stock in a company, he imagined a kickline of dancers singing We’re in the Money and King Kong holding tons of cash.
-Homer imagining his life after he holds up the Kwik-E-Mart: He’s sitting in a rocking chair outside a Southern plantation with a suit, monocle, and sash reading “Senator,” twirling his gun. Marge is a go-go dancer.
-The added pleasures of a second wife: Homer is sitting in a hammock, singing “chop chop dig dig…” while one wife digs a hole and the other chops wood. When one wife stops to comment “There’s much more two wives could do for you,” Homer responds, “I hear diggin’, but I don’t hear choppin’!”
-Homer believes being pistol-whipped involves putting Cool Whip on a pistol.
The lesson? Don’t put Homer and Cosmo together in the same room.
