In crossover artwork for The Boys, Homer Simpson from The Simpsons transforms into Homelander, continuing to strangle Bart and engaging in combat with a different superpowered character. The Simpsons is no new to pop culture references; they have done it for several Marvel and DC superheroes in the past. Though The Boys season 4 concluded a few weeks ago, there haven’t seems to be any mentions of the show anywhere. Despite a plethora of prior cross-media crossovers, there hasn’t been a clear connection between the superhero program and the animated comedy.

Recently, Nathan Made It shared fan art showing Homer from The Simpsons dressing up as Homelander from The Boys and carrying out the role.

The images show that, even while in his new persona, he’s still choking Bart, who is dressed like Homelander’s son Ryan in the art. Another image also shows him facing down Ned Flanders, who is dressed as Omni-Man from Invincible.

Why A Simpsons Parody Of The Boys Would Be Hilarious

The Simpsons has referenced Marvel plenty of times throughout its 35-season run, alongside making plenty of jokes about DC superheroes as well. However, The Boys remains untapped potential for the series, which could easily use its characters to make parodic versions of those from the series. This could include what Nathan has dubbed “Homer-lander,” using the protagonist as a vessel for the villain in a comedic fashion. Other characters could then become their own parodies of the superhero show’s cast, creating a hilarious story in the process.

However, the Prime Video series is known for its incredibly mature jokes, which have included extreme gore and 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual references most of the time. If The Simpsons really did decide to make a parody of the show, it would need to tone down these elements to stay in line with its own rating. This means it would need to rely more on character personalities and events from the series when poking fun at it. However, it could still reference the more mature elements of the show, perhaps pointing them out without ever showing anything graphic.

The Boys’ cast isn’t as large as The Simpsons’, so the show would have to choose carefully who would play whatever role in the parody. Even while Bart and Homelander’s positions appear to be very fixed, there would still be room for characters like Black Noir, Maeve, and Butcher. Considering how adept the animated comedy is at parodying a wide range of different media, it doesn’t seem impossible to have “Homer-lander” become canon.
