I mean, this is how far our standard of living has fallen in the US.
Like, back in the 80’s and 90’s it was pretty normal for a family to subsist on a single income, in a reasonably nice house, with all of their necessities taken care of. It was so normal that even a brainless loser like Homer could do it.
Also because back then, kinda fat = automatic loser
Frank Grimes pointed out the insanity/luck of his living situation and your last part is true today “bumbling oaf” is still an archetype
He’s not? There’s literally an episode about how Homer is so lucky in life that he drives a man insane.
OP lives above a bowling alley and bellow another bowling alley.
Why would you think that? I need an explanation for this joke.
Uhhhh… Homer has three kids, surely?
According to the available tax information he has nine kids, one of which is a Vietnam veteran.
I see your Homer Simpson and raise you Al Bundy, who works at a shoe store and raised a family of 4 on that salary
He raised himself and his wife as well???
Isn’t Homer meant to be an illustration of privilege? Like, he’s pretty useless, but still gets essentially everything he wants.
Nah, it’s supposed to be funny and relatable. Times changed, not the cartoon.
