As addressed in TheMovie and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the "Homer's Enemy" episode of ''TheSimpsons'', the continued tolerance of Homer by his friends, his family, and his employer -- indeed, his very ''[[TooDumbToLive survival]]'' -- is simply unbelievable at this point. Then again, {{Rule of Funny}}.
