    Isn’t Homer meant to be an illustration of privilege? Like, he’s pretty useless, but still gets essentially everything he wants.

      Nah, it’s supposed to be funny and relatable. Times changed, not the cartoon.

        I watched an interview and they were talking about some song that gets sang where Bart can be anything he wants to be.

        I think the gist was they listed this litany of jobs that he could have when he grew up and twenty years later none of them were really viable anymore, kind of emphasizing how long the show has been on.

        Things have changed.
