On the [Simpsons] TV show, a joke has to pass muster about 100 times before it gets on the air. On the movie, it`s probably 1,000 times. There are jokes that were funny the first 350 times, and then, the 351st time, we go, `Ah, I`m kinda tired of that`, so we change it. And what stays in are the most obvious, dumb, visceral, knee jerk, mayhem gags. Any time a character falls down, gets kicked in the face, hit in the head... anything involving head injuries. We work so hard on the wittiest dialog, involving sophisticated references to books and movies, and then what gets a laugh is Homer belching after drinking beer. It keeps you humble.

Trivia
Many members of the Simpson family are named for members of his own family: Homer, Marge, Maggie, Lisa, and Patty. In order to avoid insulting another family member by making him the namesake of a Simpsons character, he left Homer's father unnamed. The writers of the show named him Abraham. Coincidentally, Groening's own middle name is Abram. In 1993, he named his second son Abe.
