If he modified his inventions, they could actually be decent Like if he powered down the electric hammer and lowered the power on his makeup gun (although it is just a shotgun that shoots makeup 😂)
The electric hammer was a solid idea and could've been a game changer. It's like the electric drill to the screwdriver, you could hang a picture frame in seconds if it wasn't so mis-calibrated.
The electric hammer is the idea that should be expanded more in the show and real life. Its Homer’s best invention and he could’ve made hundreds of dollars if he improves it
It works though It turn off when when something wasn't ok.( The Alam got annoying) It just need some adjustments. Like I instead of a Alam have small green light Indicating everything is alright. It could be used in dangerous situation as a early warning sign.

It basically is in the form of a nail gun. An electric hammer would basically work on a similar principle, but with the ability to be used on any nail, it would most likely function the same though, making it less of a straight up hammer and more like a single shot flintlock style nail gun
Having to hold home's electric hammer one-handed would most likely cause serious problems in the long run, But we have something similar, its called a ramset gun, that thing uses .22mm blank shells, it can drive nails into metal and concrete in one hit

Homer was a well-written character, because whereas the audience is supposed to percieve him as a blithering idiot, his actual character is one of an imperfect man, one who understands that the world operates in a certain way, but struggles to understand the how. He is very smart, lots of knowledge in there. It's just that he often doesn't account for the context of the world around him, so he gets portrayed as "stupid". The reason he works so well is because of this divergence between the "percieved" character and the "actual" character, which allows us to laugh when he makes mistakes (because we percieve him as dumb), but also care for homer when he feels bad, and even root for him when he shows his best quality: his transparency. He doesn't pretend to love Marge, and is pretty open about his feelings towards her (sometimes to a fault), and as misguided as he is, he still shows lots of love towards his family. On the other hand, Marge loves him, and will always love him, because she doesn't see him as an idiot who does dumb things, but rather as a man with a heart of gold... who does dumb things. She loves him for the good he has in him. There are many moments where he fails as an adult, but he always owns up to it, and tries to be better, for his kids, and for Marge. How cliché, isn't it? For such an amazing character to be good because of the power of love... In conclusion, I believe that Homer is one of the best characters of all time, not in spite of his flaws, but because he deals with them every episode. He feels imperfect, human, but at the end of the day, it makes his transparency and his inherent goodness all the more potent. So if you relate to him for his weaknesses, emphatize with his sad moments, just remember that he has Marge, who loves him for him, and that the when the right people come to your life, they'll love you for who you are too. Just focus on making your strengths as sharp as they can be, and you'll find a relationship, be it platonic or romantic, that'll make you feel like the best, most successful you you can be. It happened to me, and I know it can happen to you too. ~ sincerely, a fan of Homer.
That hammer needs to stay the same power and it would be perfect. That alarm could quite possibly detect any problem in the environment, some changes and he’s got a perfect hazard alarm. Minimise the makeup gun and tweak the accuracy and it’s a brilliant and time saving invention. That chair already exists and sells wonderfully. Homer Simpson is a genius.
later in that episode, or maybe a later one, he leaves the hammer in the edison museum and it gets claimed as one of edison's inventions and it is a huge success. which is ironic, since most of edison's most famous inventions were stolen.
I'd buy it, even if it wasn't. "Well, you see, your honor...it wasn't my fault that I relentlessly beat a guy I don't like with a power hammer. The thing started acting up, and he kinda happened to be in the way...."
With a little fine tuning it could work pretty well. You could store some makeup wipes in the stock in case you needed to tidy it up maybe. Apart from the everything’s ok alarm these are all at least novelty or actually useful inventions.

Even though the makeup gun was lacking in execution, the concept and the problem it overcomes is remarkable for Homer to have thought about it. I can completely see Krusty using and merchandising it.
@@barneynedward source on Krusty's face actually being that color? there's been at least a couple of times (season 1's Krusty Gets Busted, and season 29's Fears of a Clown) where crusty is seen without makeup and his face is a totally normal yellow, the same as the rest of his body.
Eric Schilling Well technically I can’t argue with that since this is taking place in the USA. Not trying to start anything but there are some good America made products out there too
Funny thing is, the "Everything's Ok alarm" is exactly how an alarm or monitoring of critical stuff actualy works: You regularly send a message to say "everything is fine" and if the messages stop coming, you know something's wrong.
This was the barking dog alarm from a novel I read. The paranoid general was returning to base, and sent a passcode to the base, getting all clear in return. He knew then there would be an ambush and the base was taken, because he purposely sent a false code that should have tripped everything. There was no barking dog.
@@witherrose1566 A pulp paperback Aliens novel, the 2nd in a trilogy, its title is Aliens: Nightmare Asylum. The tactic is a very very small part of it, but it burned in my teen brain because of the cleverness.
The thing is, the line isn’t really wrong. Someone who is good at marketing can make it way easier to get people to like what they tell the people to like. Take the iPhone, it’s an inferior product in almost every way to android phones, and yet they remain just as popular, largely because of marketing.
It got the eyeliner near the eyes and the lipstick to the lips without actually being tested on Marge's face, for goodness' sake... That's some seriously well done handiwork.
In the book series diary of a Wimpy kid, Greg wanted a massage recliner chair as a gift, but thought the only caveat was that he'd have to go to the bathroom but expected a new model to cover that which pretty much basically falls under that exact toilet chair idea lol.
The hammer managed to pull a man of homers size across the entire room multiple times. With a bit of refinement and tweaking that would be an awesome invention.
Was half-expecting the punchline to the "Everything's okay" alarm joke to be it suddenly turning off much to the relief of everyone, followed by the slow realization that the kitchen's on fire
The everything's okay alarm is actually incredibly impressive because that basically takes a computer or artificial intelligence that can understand what it means to be okay. Homer literally made artificial intelligence that is better than anything we have ever made so far. And in like a week.
Bluesummers If you were to load shotgun shells with make up it would actually more or less work this way in a regular shotgun. Remember shot gun shells basically scatter small pellets in a group. Not sure I want to shoot it at someone's face though.
Jamie from Mythbusters built a massive device to spread paint evenly and failed. Shoot it to fast and it vaporizes into mist. Shoot it too slow and it comes out as sludge.
if it was stable, an electric hammer would be a pretty neat novelty item. sure, it wouldn't be that useful, but it'd be a cool thing to receive just as a collectable

David Dupree Meh, an electric hammer would be more fun.
Ruby Elly they have a hammer you hook up to a compressor, if that helps
The adult industry stole Homers electric hammer idea and repurposed it. Even added more power.
Okay but like, if he made a few tweaks to it, the electric hammer would actually be pretty good
To be fair homer is genius in making a makeup gun with no possible injuries
And the spread of it is quite consistent and almost makes people looks exactly like a clown face really means something
With a little fine tuning it could work pretty well. You could store some makeup wipes in the stock in case you needed to tidy it up maybe. Apart from the everything’s ok alarm these are all at least novelty or actually useful inventions.

The reclining toilet is actually a genius idea. The only thing I’d suggest is having something that would allow you to wash your hands in a similar manner.
I thought the reclining toilet was brilliant! There are some people with disabilities who have trouble getting up and getting to the bathroom on time.

Hey, Homer's finally doing something that involves a lot of work and thought, cut him some slack!
If he workshopped them more they all would have been revolutionary lmao
Even though the makeup gun was lacking in execution, the concept and the problem it overcomes is remarkable for Homer to have thought about it.
I can completely see Krusty using and merchandising it.
Hilariously enough Krusty doesn't wear makeup. His face actually looks like that.
barneynedward it’s really that pale and the green hair is real
Imagine selling it and it’s a real gun and they shoot emselves

there's been at least a couple of times (season 1's Krusty Gets Busted, and season 29's Fears of a Clown) where crusty is seen without makeup and his face is a totally normal yellow, the same as the rest of his body.
@@darkychaoI saw one episode where he claimed his clownish pallor wasn't makeup.

Funny thing is, the "Everything's Ok alarm" is exactly how an alarm or monitoring of critical stuff actualy works: You regularly send a message to say "everything is fine" and if the messages stop coming, you know something's wrong.
There's a site in England where they had a nuclear accident that does basically this
they used to use canaries in the minded and if the canaries stopped singing then they knew there was a gas leak and to evacuate the mine
This was the barking dog alarm from a novel I read. The paranoid general was returning to base, and sent a passcode to the base, getting all clear in return. He knew then there would be an ambush and the base was taken, because he purposely sent a false code that should have tripped everything. There was no barking dog.

you know, Homer's Makeup gun is actually a lot more accurate about makeup placement then you would think.
Do a search for a video with the keywords "Mythbusters paintball Mona Lisa".
It got the eyeliner near the eyes and the lipstick to the lips without actually being tested on Marge's face, for goodness' sake... That's some seriously well done handiwork.
Technically, his hammer idea, is a stone's throw away from an air hammer. He was close to something.

I love Homer Simpson. One of my favourite TV characters of all time, besides Peter Griffin, Eric Cartman and Cleveland Brown.
Best inventor ever.

the electric hammer genuinly sounds useful, just tone it down a pit
Gotta appreciate his ingenuity though. How the fuck do you make paint shoot out of a double barrel shotgun.
Let alone more than 2 colours.
it has relatively accurate make-up dispersal despite the drawbacks of the frame
Bluesummers
If you were to load shotgun shells with make up it would actually more or less work this way in a regular shotgun. Remember shot gun shells basically scatter small pellets in a group. Not sure I want to shoot it at someone's face though.
I suppose it can happen if you replace the shotgun shell pellets with paintballs of varying colors.
Jamie from Mythbusters built a massive device to spread paint evenly and failed. Shoot it to fast and it vaporizes into mist. Shoot it too slow and it comes out as sludge.
Everyone gangsta till the everything's ok alarm stops beeping
I would totally buy that chair. Though unfortunately, I'd probably have to reroute the plumbing to my living room, first.
if it was stable, an electric hammer would be a pretty neat novelty item. sure, it wouldn't be that useful, but it'd be a cool thing to receive just as a collectable
