For as long as it’s been around, The Simpsons has been one of the most beloved television shows in history. While few might envy the family’s lifestyle, there are those who would argue that Homer and Marge’s marriage is the ideal example everyone should aspire to. It makes sense. After all, they’re endlessly supportive of one another, sticking together through the good times and the bad. But if you delve a little deeper, you’ll notice there are dark undercurrents to their relationship. In fact, one of the most enduring staples of the series is Homer jeopardizing his and Marge’s marriage in one way or another.
Early in the first season, one of Homer’s solutions to fixing his family is taking them all to shock therapy. Marge is stuck with the burden of taking care of Homer and the kids, and even when she does get a break, she realizes she can’t stay away too long without things going wrong. Homer might spend more time at Moe’s Tavern than he does at home with his family. Right from the get-go, neither of their dads approved of their marriage and actively discouraged them from being together. And though Marge disapproves of Homer’s bad behavior, more often than not, she takes a passive approach and allows him to get away with everything. You might even be shocked to learn that Homer and Marge have spent just as much time divorced as they’ve been married.
As much as we might not want to admit it, it’s possible that Homer and Marge’s marriage is not as wonderful as it first appears.

“Homer and Marge are considered by many to be a shining beacon of matrimony"
As Edna Krabappel would say "HA!"
My thought exactly!
Retaliatory “HA!”s are tight!
New theory!... Marge dad looks like chief wiggum.. also its interesting that both of them are named "clancy" could it be that marge and chief wiggum are half brother and sister?
Dwayne Turner blue curly hair
don't forget that they have the same blue hair color..
And Bart and Lisa are nice to Ralph for no reason when nobody else is probably because they are cousins
Never noticed that...
jackie moore yea, that’s why marge made Bart play with Ralph, in that episode where they had the master key
Wait, there are actually people that think those two have a good, healthy marriage?
Why not? There are people who think the Joker and Harley Quinn's relationship is wonderful and full of love.
You have a point there.
Freedan Haha ^^ Your are right!
Xenophilius394 its a matter of prespective
Xenophilius394 apparently those at screen rant do... it just shows this is the wrong job for them
im fine with ads. im fine when the video buffers. but when the ads buffer i suffer
Same
So poetic and true
block the ads that's what i do
Rhymes for days
I'm fine too because i have adblock
you forgot Marge's gambling addiction.
no they didn't. this was basically a video slamming homer and praising marge.
Not to mention her jelousy and her secrets
426mak You mean "Gamblor"?!
also Marge's control issues when she has a drink she's not a good drunk.
426mak is that in the Indian casino or is that Lois in family guy??? I have bad memory don’t judge
Homer is the one bringing in the D'OH!
atimnie it's DO'H
N'OH, it's D'OH. Google it, or Bing it. DO'H shows results for D'OH, but not for DO'H on Bing. On Google, it shows a few results for DO'H, but those are UA-cam videos that have it misspelled. And Google also asks, did you mean D'OH? So I think the logical conclusion from all this is that it's D'OH, and not DO'H.
I knew that I couldn't have been the only one who caught that little pun. I wonder if the narrator realized it..? Usually when a pun is noticed, it's followed by a "pun intended/not intended", ya know..?!?
how do you people have original names...example of grammar police getting his ass handed to him lmfao
Truth Seeker that crooked cop was discharged for negligence in the ability to spell contractions
Homer didn't plug them into the shock therapy thing. That was Marvin Monroe. Before that, it involved drawing pictures, beating each other with foam bats, and then the shock therapy.
Peteman12 all homer did was trust a certified therapist. Can't blame him for that
For the first one, any good fan knows that Homer doesn't *think* about things. He respects people who do, but he only tries to make the days not hurt until he gets to crawl in next to Marge again.
Nice reference lol
Love it. Reference is epic.
As Captain America would say "I understood that reference."
The problem with your first example is that you deleted the whole part about Homer taking the family to therapy, which is a good idea, and that the electro-shock was the DOCTOR's suggestion when the Simpson proved unresponsive to more traditional therapies.
Cowabunga man, Marge is hot when she let's her hair down.

I’m sorry but if people see Homer and Marge as a “shining beacon of what matrimony is”, then those people need to find a better example because Homer and Marge are not the best example of a good marriage. Though I think there are worse examples *cough cough* Peter and Lois Griffin *cough cough* Jerry and Beth Smith
Idk if the smiths are as bad the Simpson's, its mostly just beth
Best example of marriage is Gomez and Morticia Addams
Any married couple that actually believed that has probably gotten divorced by now.
best marriage ever, Carl and Ellie from Up.
Alyssa Wilson
Donald and melanie trump
Homer and Marge are a classic couple.
*Nothing ever changes*
That’s because it’s a cartoon, and the family’s mistakes are what is COMIC RELIEF
IKR, that is what i have been saying! I mean its a freaking CARTOON, its meant to be taken lightly!
It's also joked throughout the series Marge is really depressed because of Homer's behaviour, and in "future" episodes Marge has divorced him and they continue to struggle to make their relationship work
I wonder when Maggie will not be a baby anymore.
Nick Cadwell when tomorrow comes. 😁
Nick Cadwell Probably around the same time as the South Park characters start highschool (translation: never).
When Ash finally turns 11.....
She is actually an adult with a weird fetish for being a baby
right now she's a 29 year old baby. lol
Don't you remember the episode where Homer actually does become a better, more considerate person (after he got his jaw wired shut).
Apparently, Marge became so 'bored' that she had to go and put herself in danger and make Homer revert to his usual ways.
I think that's one of my least favourite Simpsons episodes. He's finally realised he needs to be more considerate, and she literally forces him to change back >.
It plays on Marge's own flaws in the marriage and as a character - her controlling and manipulative side and her addiction to dangerous situations (gambling, theft, infidelity). Reckless, irresponsible Homer isn't the only one with some serious issues to work through, and that episode showed it in spades.
I don't remember that one strongly, but your synopsis reminds me of a Southpark episode that seems to have copycatted that narrative. Cartman's mom has him treated by a dog trainer and when he starts acting like the perfect child she realizes she needs someone to depend on her and feels lonely. She ends up spoiling him to revert his behavior, and I found it to be really disheartening/depressing. I found the episode oddly intimate; there's a really profound moment when Cartman confronts the ideology that causes him to be selfish that is quite poignant.
Cause women love chaos.
@@caseysand8227 seriously
Never seen that episode but dang, I can’t believe homer had to have his jaw wired shut
You can't really say they were married for 30 years. Since the children never age, not even a year, all episodes take place in the course of a year, and holiday episodes simply don't exist.
What did you expect for a show that has been on for 29 Seasons
Kanoa Smith a thirtieth season?
Real Seamus well played... 😂
Ugh the saddest part is there's a good amount more bad then good Simpson's seasons now. When I originally stopped watching at least that wasn't the case.
Whoever made this video needs to watch more than 3 episodes of the Simpsons. Poorly made.
31 seasons now
None of the things on the goddamn list are "dark secrets"
Who considers Marge and Homer a "shining beacon of matrimony"?
People keep saying that Homer and Marge aren’t a “shining beacon of what marriage is” , but if you really think about it they are! Because in spite of all the troubles that befall them they always stick together in the end. Good marriages are never perfect, the fact they survive that is what makes them good marriages. I’d say Homer and Marges marriage has survived things that no other marriage would 😂
Great video, dude! 👍🏻
5:08 Holy cow, i just realized, are Marge and Chief Wiggum Related? Her father's name is Clancy (Same name as the chief) , both Marge and Chief Wiggum have Blue curly Hair. Is this a thing? has someone made a theory already?
Jose Luis Santillán Bravo but chief is the position in police he is at and wiggum is his last name but I guess the hair thing makes sense
Clarence (clancy) Wiggum's father is Iggy Wiggum, who served with Abe Simpson in WW2.
@@AzzaYaDog he might have raised Clancy and havr his surname, but he might legitimately be Abe's...
Holly Duncan everyone calls him chief wiggum but his real name is Clancy
It’s funny, in another episode, marge dad had blue hair
When ever I watch a Screen Rant video I skip the first 30 seconds. It's usually just an unnessecary explenation of the title.
true
Me too
With the divorce thing, their marriage may not have been official but they may have fallen under common law marriage, especially if they claim to be married on any official document.
In the episode when homer is tricked in to thinking he is ten years old Bart asked him if he had wanted any kids when he would grow up and homer said no. He said if he would he would be secretly sad and he would probably be very fat and drink so much.
Homer and Marge are quite a good example of a dysfunctional marriage, they still love each other, but that's pretty much it.
In Homers defense, didn’t he just bring the family to family therapy? The Dr is the one that escalated things to shock therapy 😂
Why hasn’t anybody talked about or done any videos about Marge’s Pregnancies?!?
This is something I thought of.
You know how Marge took the gun off Homer in that episode, maybe Marge used that same gun to shoot Mr Burns. It said in 'Who shot Mr Burns prt 2', it was Simpson DNA on the gun that was 'used' to shoot Mr Burns. We have a flashback of Homer touching it when grabbing a lollypop off the ground. When Marge said that when she married Homer, she took his DNA too. Maybe she used the gun (the one she took off homer) to shoot Mr Burns. Chief Wiggum didn't know who it was, and Mr Burns might of assumed it was Maggie because he didn't see Marge, who would of been hiding in the shadows.
I thought for sure the episode with Mindy Simmons would be mentioned. Homer almost cheated on Marge with her, and it's clear that Mindy is a much better match for him. Homer even imagines a reality where he and his whole family is better off when they split up, and the whole episode implies that Homer and Marge aren't a good match to begin with. I've been curious to see if they will ever revisit her character like they did with Lerlean Lumpkin. I really hope they do!
Marge almost cheated on homer in season 1
@@jaydenhay9263 Very true! Come to think of it, Marge probably almost cheats on Homer waaay more than he almost cheats on her! Not a good look...lol
Marge is not so nice herself she just doesn’t openly reveal it like Homer. She almost cheats on him several times.
I think this show could survive a time skip and character development. I for one would love to see a late teen Lisa and Bart, and adolescent Maggie.
Lol, the Simpsons are a caricature of an average family. Everyone who takes this show seriously, is not a very smart person. Because everyone should be aware, that the simpsons life isn‘t perfect but thats what makes the show so great and funny. At the end it only counts what they all have ben through and not the fact that they were a perfect family.
I shall never look at the Simpsons the same way again
One dark secret you forgot, Marge Simpsons addiction to gambling. She may get drunk once in a while, its only under certain circumstances, but her addiction to gambling is where she sometimes fail.
In season 27 when they get divorced that was Marge's dream. And the first they got divorced it was so they could have a "real" second marriage rather than just renewing their vows
Dang, you seem really mad at homer
Glad I'm not the only who thought they had one messed up marriage.
Still better than with Peter & Lois.
If he really is like my step dad, he'll just die when he is fifty and Marge(my mom) will just end up dating Arty again only instead of him being rich he's just a weed dealer.
Exposing the '''dark secrets'' of a fictional couple known for their disfunction. Needed that.
mirandaschalen "exposing" is a loose word
Then why you click on the video bitch lmaooo? 😂😂😂
Jen Mercado true
It´s about time someone touched on these topics regardning Homer and Marge's marriage,... I always knew there was something weird, but thougt I was the only one to realize it... great video guys!
Homer and Marge weren't actually divorced in Every Man's Dream that was just a dream
Marge has been cheating with Ned all these years.
I could see that
That's why homer hate Flanders 🤣🤣🤣
Well when Homer died Marge did get married to him in The future
the episode on 6 min 40 was on sky one today. Lol
Peter and lois are even worse
Poke Thegamer you mean Peter and lois
Yes
TheLinainverse5 ?
@@ryhatism she did to.. that was the most hilarious bit
Some of the sound clips inbetween each number are messed up. Or is that just me??
I think there is something wrong with the audio on some of the clips.
I like how the subscribe screen thing has WAY more subs than u have now
Very informative who knew... the things we missed
Great audio guys
Marge and Homer Simopson. Nailed it.
5:45 are you suggesting Marge had an affair with Flanders (Satan)?
You forgot MARGE IS SO OVERPROTECTIVE EVEN OVER A GAME
she over reacts but then abandons her convictions way easily. homer is a bad husband but marge is an enabler. maybe that's why it works?
The episode every mans dream wasent real, it was actually all a dream and they never got divorced. As for the 12 seasons, yes they where divorced but they wernt aware, they where still together
in texas we have common law marriage laws so esp cause of the kids they for sure would have been married
This is a great video for people who have never watched the Simpsons!
I just love how no one ever says anything about Flanders having a secret room in his basement full of drugs in the form of Beatles soft drinks haha 😂🤷🏼♂️
Nobody envies a fictional cartoon relationship, especially with Homer. And nobody views Homer as the glue that holds the family together.
Isn't Marge the glue that sticks the family together?
The clips' sound are messed up
Kiara Thorpe ok i thought my phone was tweakin ,, thanks
Kiara Thorpe yea I can barely hear the clips in between each number
I think its because of copyright.
It's because this is a money grab and those aren't clips sourced from original materials ;D Not that there's anything wrong with that :)
Who tf ever thought Homer and Marge had a healthy relationship? Even when I was a kid I knew their marriage wasn't what a marriage should be. They're sweet together but obviously unhealthy. I'm so tried of videos like this saying"they look like they have a good/perfect marriage"
9:05 Homer: *WE WERE ON A BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK*
Who envies and looks up to Marge and Homer's relationship? That's like looking up to Beth as Mom goals
Hack the only reason they get married was because Homer Get Marge pregnant with Bart and Marge is an enabler
Yeah, heck in an episode, it's reveiled that Marge was going to break up with him because of his drinking and repulsive behavior(ok the end shows her changing her mind but still)
Homer's and Marge's relationship was made to not be ideal, its part of comedy and having a perfect little family isnt always funny now, is it?
Homer sounded like he just went through puberty 0:39
the secrets of a successful marriage episode is a classic one
Shock Therapy. One of the funniest skits ever on the Simpsons!
Every relationship has problems. No relationship is perfect.
💯
This is true, but there's a limit!
Not an excuse to keep a bad relationship going
Okay so you title it differently than other lists but it is the same list as just about every other list on the Simpsons. Can’t you guys come up with something new?
Can´t you do the same?
Anyienk9 if you are meaning the fact that I commented they need to stop with copying lists because it’s already been done then that is fine because I am sure many have commented the same.... But you forget one thing, I don’t go through the comments and read them to make sure someone hasn’t already said it, it would be a waist of time. I am not a content creator so I don’t need to know if it’s been done already.
If you are referring to the fact that I could make a video list to make it original then you are incorrect because I don’t make videos.
temptresskitty relax , most content in videos about tv shows and movies are repeated lol, you dont have to watch it
Safi Imani I watched it because it is a newly uploaded video and I was expecting to see some new clips supporting their argument in the title. I am actually quite relaxed over it, all I did was state the obvious over the fact that their clips to their video have been being shown for a while now and they could come up with some new ones to show. I mean it isn’t like The Simpsons doesn’t have over 20 seasons of product to go through to support the idea, they don’t have to continue to show the same stuff.
temptresskitty calm down jeez
2:14 Heh, bringing in the "D'o!ugh"...
Still waiting for the final episode, where Marge just gives up on the marriage, take the kids and bounces on Homer. (I hope for the same with Peter and Lois.)
Why the difference in sound volume between the clips????
Though their relationship may be elastic by design, it is the very element that the rubber band never snaps that proves the marriage’s magnitude.
Somebody was up until 4 AM.
That background music is life
have u guys seen the A113 reference in the Simpsons season 1 episode 12? Just wondering
Admiral Arlton what's an A113
it's in almost every Disney movie also it's about the writers don't remember the story Google it
A113 refers to a room at an animation school.
Can you make a *dark secret* about *The American Dad* next?
Nathaniel I would love to see that because Francine's and Stan's marriage isn't perfect either nors is Peter Griffin and Lois is marriage.
I think Stan dose a good job of that already lol
Does anyone know where i could watch the simpsons? i cant go on the fox website bc its not available in london
Is there any audio problems for anyone or just me?
Why is the volume on the clips so incredibly low
Max Hyde SOO annoying
I love the Simopsons! :P
Me too
Does marge have 2 dads🤔,, the other 1 worked at a airport didnt he
BRUCE ASKEW guess he aged roughly
Anthony Grassa 😂😂😂😂😂 nice explanation
Yup she was scared to go on place cus of it
I remember that airplane scene 😂
Don't look at meee!!!!
I don't even know why I watched it til the end when I saw every episode of Simpsons LITTERALY sorry for my english
Simopson, eh?
EDIT: Ah, you have changed the title. I'll never forget the typo. It was funny. xD
The marriage between Marge&Homer is like every marriage Bart call his dad by his first name wich is Homer
Lol
Homer and Marge have the perfect marriage because they are cartoons. Homer can do anything he wants and his hot wife will never leave him. That's boss.
Ahhhhhhh, this was before the world fell apart
Well the first one they went for normal family therapy, and Dr. Harvey Monroe did this on his own accord as a ' last resort' cause none of the other treatments were working.So in Homer's defense he did not go in expecting to be strapped to an electric shock chair.Everything else totally true.
OMG LET IT GO! IT'S NOT HIS FAULT THAT HE SPELT IT WRONG!
Chaya Simms well technically it is but.
5% is about the video, 90% is about the spelling
The Jax Bax 4% is about the video 89 % is about the spelling 7% is about the audio clip
Ok, the drinking issue thing is not homers fault. It's his terrible childhood. That led him to have these problems with his drinking and his dad.
6:51, What episode is this scene of Maggie from?
3:50 hold on, that particular part was all accidental, he had actually went for a walk, a guy left his Fishing Rod behind and homer grabbed it to give it back to him...the fish just so happen to snag the line and Homer with it
at 6:11 read the fridge it says horrible horrible things are going to happen a thousand eyes trapped for ever...... if you know why it says that please tell me
This video should be named “Why Marge and Homer should get a divorce”
King Naia they already did thou
Poor Bart is getting abused and Marge does nothing about it!
Well this clearly shows an abusive relationship.
Ikr
As for the divorced/remarried/lapsed license/ thing: In most states, almost anyone can perform a marriage. They have to be over 18 or over and in some states NOT a ship captain (people used to get drunk on boat trips and get married, it seems). I have a certificate from the Church of Spiritual Humanism. But I don't need it or to register it. As long as an 'officiant' (and the definition is very broad) and 2 adult witnesses sign marriage paperwork filed with the town or city....it is all legal.
Homer vs Goku: Fatherhood
Think about it for a second, Homer is DEFINITELY depressed. He’s an alcoholic, he has a dead end job, he Mavericks had a mother and his father was awful; I’d be surprised if he weren’t chronically depressed. He actually has tried to vomit suicide once, it’s awful. The I’d be willing to bet that he’s some sorta genius and doesn’t show it because he just can’t muster the effort due to his depression, and knows he’d have to give up alcohol if people knew. Well, if your depressed it have ever had suicidal thoughts or actions the most important thing to do is get help and don’t give up, things will improve by medicine or therapy. I feel like I have to say that due to what I’m talking about, so yeah you should definitely see a therapist and psychiatrist if that is your case. Really most people could benefit from that but due to the ridiculous stigmas about mental health that’s just not what people do. So yeah, to sum it up, go to therapy.
Wow went off topic there bud. I agree with you though
Maggie is the reasons why I watch the Simpsons...with a little Moe and Mr. Burns on the side, but mainly for Maggie.
