Why is Homer's obesity a joke? Even in 90s standards it doesn't make sense. He's fat but not extremely overweight. There are other characters drawn as fat or even fatter than him, like Mayor Quimby, Chief Wiggum, Barney, Kent Brockman, Krusty, etc. Not only that he can actually get overweight (King-Size Homer), whereas regular Homer is just an out-of-shape middle man. If he works out, he'll keep more or less the same height.

Damn bro nice sneed thread

He's only 239, not that fat.

Despite being just an amusing little gag, this joke always bothered me for that reason. Krusty is clearly EXACTLY the same build as Homer - even in that one episode swapping with him to avoid the mob. Why is Homer's not just a joke, bu

That's pretty fucking fat for a man of normal height. Just because there are fatter people than that doesn't mean he isn't very overweight.

It's somewhat of a anachronism. In the late 80s that level of overweight was still unusual. Or of like how Krusty the Clown doesn't make sense in 2018.

>homer Simpson isn’t obese by American standards

Jesus fucking Christ how on Earth hasn’t your nation sunk into the ocean yet

Same weight as Trump.

239 is fucking obese, you amerishart

...

He eats too much feed

Jesus fucking christ a thousand times yes

Is that Sneed in the background?

Just because someone is fatter than you doesn’t make you not fat

BAGGY

holy shit. is this true

Coincidence? I don't think so!

ok that's funny

but how tall is homer?

>predicted

Why do people misuse this word so?

that episode was not from 2000
in the "prediction" episode you couldn't even see trump, just lisa mentioning him.

>tfw 275lbs
>not even American

Young Chuck

But he ate so much slices of America cheeses

Literal fake news

Kys

Look at him go

>In the late 80s that level of overweight was still unusual.
Wrong. It was becoming common among Americans in the early 80's.

I think comic book guy is the fattest. Cheif Wiggum can still walk, comic book guy basically never leaves his chair, and his car needs to be pushed by someone else to start

...

The mystery remains

...that's not sneed. the old man is.

come on

I thought you had to say Candlejack's name in orde

...

Sneed is their last name.

i wonder if either of those 2 people go on Sup Forums

Big if true

He's feeding.

Can't forget this moment

Cringe

...

You have to remember The Simpsons began in the early 90's, people weren't all obese by default back then. It was still unusual for an adult to be that heavy back then.
Remember the episode where Homer is just eating a bag of flour and he says he doesn't deserve his sugar bag? That's actually an accurate description of most people's diets these days.

SNEADER

...

Seems like a good thread to ask

What's the joke here?

Sneed

Well, Clarice, have the hams stopped steaming?

Have the Chucks stopped fucking?

The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

Fat can't mix with water well so we all just float like that one water world mecha anime with the huge ass fleet of ships.

>can you hear them, sneed? The fucking of the chucks?

There is a lot of chuck sneed on facebook the first one literaly have a chicken in his pic and the second is a cowboy from montana

SNEED HAMS XDDDD
