What is Homer Simpson good at?

(Not exact quotes)

Homer: I smell a cake! (smells) It say… “Goodbye [something I can’t remember]”
Nelson (to Bart): Your old man has a heck of a nose.
Bart: That’s nothing. He can hear cheese.

Actually, it’s pudding that he can hear.

If there was a prize for most active non-sexual fantasy life, he’d win it.

He barbeques up a great pig-with-apple-in-mouth and throws a mean BBBQ. (The extra B is for BYOBB.)

He’s also a talented songwriter: “Baby on board…something something…Burt Ward. This thing writes itself!”

I prefer his unfinished song…

There was nothing in Al Capone’s vault
But it wasn’t Geraldo’s fault…d’oh!

Don’t forget Homer’s “Christmas Carol”:
Everybody in the U.S.A.
Hates their stupid neighbor.
He’s Flanders and he’s really, really lame

He’s also a powerful demagogue, having rallied the citizens of Springfield to action on several occasions, for better or for worse, just by his rants and speeches and appeals to the common man.

What’s he good at ? To quote something he said to Marge : “I can offer you what no one else can ! Complete and utter dependency !”

What’s that extra B for?

That was a misprint.

He’s capable of eating 64 slices of American cheese in a single sitting. Who else here can claim that?

Right- he’s been moderately successful at a lot of different things. The Simpsons Forever described him as “stupid but wily,” and I thought that nailed it.

In some episodes, he can really hold his liquor. In others, not so much. But either way, he’s nigh unto unkillable.

He is the undisputed champion of hot chile eating, including being the only human known who was able to eat the the merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango.

Well, at the cost of temporary blindness, mind you.

But for the crayon up his nose, he’s an expert Rubik’s Cube solver.

Of course, it did take him all night. And there was the blindness issue.

He’s got a pretty good record predicting disasters. He predicted when a comet was headed to Springfield it would break into pieces no bigger than a small dog’s head, which is exactly what happened. And he predicted the Rapture … OK, his timing was a little off, and he persuaded God to unmake the Rapture, but still, that’s pretty durned good.

Also, he’s the only person to have climbed Mount Springfield.

And at one time, he was a champion arm wrestler.

I believe it was the Murderhorn

He’s good at averting nuclear meltdowns without really knowing what he’s doing, as demonstrated on at least two occasions.

Snow plow driving.

JD from Scrubs might give him a run for his money.
