He’s an absolute piece of shit and everything he does is horrible but I find it hard to hate him.
I think the show does an {excellent} job of making him look pathetic and pitiable, maybe there’s something to that overruling the digust I inevitably feel from everything he does or says. He’s definitely someone I never tire of joking about or referrring to as a short hand for senility and capitalism embodied, i dunno, I feel more sad for him. Like its lonely at the top and its worse if thats all you have.
Maybe sometimes I feel not so different from him (of course without all the money and the psychopathy lol)
He’s somehow less of a psychopath than any real life bourgeoisie. He’s given Homer his job back like 12 times, and apparently pays him enough to own a house and support a housewife and three kids.
The reason why was explained in a recent episode where burns made a promise to Abe Simpson to never fire homer under any circumstance.
When The Simpsons started that was normal.
