Homer Simpson is not about to change his ways.
Amid speculation that The Simpsons patriarch is about to stop strangling his son, Bart, the show’s co-creator has confirmed that Homer’s habit will die hard.
James L. Brooks told People: “Nothing’s getting tamed. Nothing, nothing, nothing … He’ll continue to be strangled — [if] you want to use that awful term for it. He’ll continue to be loved by his father in a specific way.”
The Simpsons itself signaled a move away from Homer’s unique brand of punishment during the episode McMansion & Wife, which premiered on October 22 on Fox.
Homer’s new neighbor commented on the firmness of his handshake, with Homer telling his wife: “See, Marge, strangling the boy has paid off. Just kidding. I don’t do that anymore. Times have changed.”
I just found out that, after over 30 years, The Simpsons has finally retired their long-running gag of Homer strangling Bart.

Furthermore, the website IGN claimed that Homer has not strangled Bart since Season 31, which aired between 2019 and 2020.
Brooks’ intervention, however, supported a meme posted by The Simpsons X (formerly Twitter) account last week in response to the strangle saga.

A year before his death, Matthew Perry revealed that he asked “Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman to give him the final line of the series. “No one else will care about this except me,” Perry wrote in his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.”“So may I please have the last line?” he asked the producer.
