A long-running gag on “The Simpsons' is when Homer Simpson strangles his son, Bart.
One of the most well-known, long-running gags on the animated series is when Homer angrily strangles Bart, typically after yelling "Why you little!"
"See, Marge, strangling the boy has paid off," Homer says in the episode called "McMansion & Wife." He then adds: "Just kidding, I don’t do that anymore. Times have changed." "The Simpsons" has also updated other roles in recent years, including the show’s depiction of Indian shop owner Apu. Azaria, who described his ancestry as "Sephardic Jews from Greece," was publicly called out in 2017 when comedian Hari Kondabolu, of Indian descent, condemned how south-Asian characters like Apu have been portrayed in a documentary called, "The Problem With Apu.""The only really Indian accent that I had context for, apart from guys who worked at the 7-Eleven that I was near in LA, was Peter Sellers in ‘The Party,’" Azaria admitted.
