About

Am I Disabled? is a reaction image of Homer Simpson from The Simpsons reading a book titled "Am I Disabled?" The image is used as a self-deprecating reaction image when the poster discovers they enjoy something they believe is beneath them.

Origin

The image comes from Season 7, Episode 7 of The Simpsons, "King-Size Homer," which aired November 5th, 1995.[1] Early in the episode, Homer attempts to get on disability so that he can work from home, and reads a book called "Am I Disabled?" to see what are his options for becoming legally disabled.

On February 26th, 2013, lGillipollin uploaded a Demotivational Poster joke using the image to the Spanish site Demotivacion.es,[2] marking one of the earliest times the picture was used in a meme format (shown below).
