About

Big Forehead Homer or Homers Guide is a series of brainrot memes in which colorful edits of Homer Simpson from The Simpsons with a big forehead are shown in a row, the first three above green checkmarks and the rest above hazard or other negative symbols, while an audio of Homer repeatedly saying his name followed by sound effects matching the shown symbols plays. The meme was popularized by TikToker @umstveno_dogonyauishiy, or MoodDuck, in late August 2025 and became increasingly popularized throughout early September, inspiring both video edits and images expanding on and editing the original, largely in the comments of TikTok videos. The image seems to originate from the Glaggleland wiki, Glagglepedia, where it was uploaded in January 2024.

Origin

On January 25th, 2024, Fandom^[1] user Goofygoobab posted a meme to the Glagglepedia Fandom site titled, "Know Your Homers! (repost from glagglepedia central or whatever)." The image shows four edits of Homer Simpsons with an elongated forehead, each with a different color scheme. The first three Homers have checkmarks underneath them, while the fourth, a red Homer with a frown on his face, has two hazard symbols underneath. The caption on the page reads, "This information may save your life," then describes each Homer. The post gained roughly three likes in over a year.

Gomer: Sour and a bit tart tasting. Similar to lemon lime.

Bomer: Sweet, similar to a blend of blackberries and blueberries.

Pomer: Tastes like cotton candy. Skin is unsafe, but the sludge inside is safe to eat.
