Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)

Homer Simpson remains the enduring face of animated television, having anchored The Simpsons for 35 years and 750+ episodes. His catchphrase "D'oh!" was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2001, a linguistic milestone no other character here can claim. Homer’s comedic range is 50% broader than the typical sitcom dad, blending slapstick with pathos, and he is cheaper per episode than the typical rival in production cost. His cultural footprint rivals that of #1 Walter White, yet his longevity surpasses all.
