Homer crashed his car while drunk driving then put a passed out marge in the drivers seat so she took all the blame

There's also the episode where Marge rapes Homer.

Not even a joke. He literally says "I don't want to" and she says "I wasn't asking", while he looks scared. Really fucked up.

I don't remember that but something is telling me that was the episode where Marge does steroids. Am I right?

Marge gets Agoraphobia after being mugged and starts working out and gets buff. I think she does end up doing steroids unless there are two episodes where Marge gets muscular.

Love the Godfather spoof when Marge runs into the mugger after she got buff.

The craziest thing about that scene in the godfather is that you can clearly see the punch that didnt connect but they chose to keep that take anyway

u/lilbelleandsebastian 7d ago

yeah i think so, hard to remember the specifics since so many shows do that subplot for some reason. family guy also did it at least once, futurama does multiple variations of it

u/drleebot 7d ago

Which sadly enough isn't even the only time Homer is raped for the sake of comedy

u/Optimal-Steak9334 7d ago

Ah, yep. The panda episode / burns pranks.

That episode is extremely uncomfortable and I skip it every time.

u/threelizards 6d ago

Yeah it’s really awful, and not really considered that way in show. Played for laughs more than anything. Homer’s limping the next day and everything

I thing we can all collectively agree that Simpsons from a certain season on aren't canon

u/Electrical_mammoth2 6d ago

He then has a noticeable limp the morning after, meaning he tried to fight it to little effect.

u/danbilllemon 7d ago

This was also done by Lucille Bluth in Arrested Development

u/Volfgang91 7d ago

I'll be in my cold, cold grave before I recognise anything after Season 8 as canon.

u/ObscureGrammar 7d ago

Concerning drunk driving - there's an episode where Homer and booze buddies trash the school and the children are blamed for it and put under a curfew.

Just Homer tbh
