Homer Simpson E O Humor, Uma Análise Fenomenológica VITOR FAUSTINO SAMPAIO D’OH: HOMER SIMPSON E O HUMOR, UMA ANÁLISE FENOMENOLÓGICA. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso como exigência parcial para a graduação no curso de Psicologia, sob a orientação do Prof. Marcos Colpo. Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo São Paulo 2008 1 AGRADECIMENTOS Antes de qualquer outra pessoa, agradeço ao meu pai, pelo apoio incondicional dado a mim. Obrigado por me apoiar sempre, tanto em minha vida pessoal, quanto acadêmica e profissional. Obrigado por me dizer que eu deveria cursar a faculdade que eu quisesse: me jogando neste abismo, que é responsabilizar-me pelas minhas próprias escolhas. Obrigado por todos esses anos em que vivi como um parasita (e por alguns mais que ainda virão – em decorrência das minhas próprias escolhas). Obrigado pela paciência. Obrigado por me levar ao colégio, pelas viagens pelo mundo, por me ensinar o que é um castelo de popa, pelas caminhadas na praia e por me apresentar os mais diferentes tipos de comida. Obrigado por ter sido um adulto interessante na minha infância. Obrigado por ser um exemplo de vida e caráter. Obrigado por me aceitar. Acima de tudo, obrigado por ser mais que meu pai, obrigado por ser meu amigo. Agradeço ao professor Marcos Colpo, cuja orientação me permitiu desenvolver este trabalho. Obrigado por saber esperar. Sua tranqüilidade permitiu que eu desenvolvesse meu raciocínio sem me apressar, me apropriando dos pontos pesquisados. Especial gratidão a minha querida tutora Cris Rosenthal. Nossa “parceria” começou naquele dia, quando ao lado de toda a turma, invadi sua aula pedindo para que fosse nossa “mestra”. Uma excelente professora, uma maravilhosa orientadora de IC, uma ótima revisora, mas o mais importante, uma pessoa muito especial, uma amiga que nunca me deixou na mão e topou os mais loucos projetos. Obrigado! Agradeço a FOX, por nos brindar todos os dias com episódios ótimos de Os Simpsons; Ao Matt Groening, por trazer ao mundo esta série; E ao Moe, por servir a Duff nossa de cada dia. 2 Ao Thomaz e ao Beto, por tornarem os dias na faculdade mais familiares. A amizade de vocês colaborou com minha errância. Cada um de vocês ocupou e ocupa uma parte fundamental na minha formação (leia-se: minha existência). Muito obrigado. À Carlinha, por ter trazido à luz o tema deste trabalho, em um dia de sol, nos banquinhos da Monte Alegre. Sem sua ajuda, eu provavelmente teria acabado em alguma pesquisa insípida sobre um tema repetido. Ao Troy McClure, que vocês devem se lembrar de outros trabalhos como “Fazendo uma monografia em duas semanas” e “Como escrever cem páginas com duas frases”. Ao Rogério, pois, em suas palavras, “alguns laços são mais profundos do que sangue”. Agradeço também ao Davi, Papi e Julia (Uniii). A trupe que me acolheu, foragido de um outro ano, me mostrando que há sempre a possibilidade de se sentir bem, mesmo dentro da faculdade. Ao vovô Simpson (Abe), por ter dado as condições certas de criação para Homer “crescer” e se tornar quem se tornou; ao cryon azul, por estar ali, no lugar certo, dando a tonalidade correta ao humor de Homer; e a Duff, parte componente do modo de ser diário de Homer. Agradeço à Bruna, por ter tropeçado em mim, naquele dia, naquela hora, naquele lugar. E pelos encontrões que temos dado desde então, me tornando uma pessoa mais capaz de apreciar os humores da vida. Finalmente, agradeço a todas as pessoas que participaram da minha vida, principalmente àquelas que contribuíram de forma negativa, pois eu aprendi que algumas vezes o abandono nos serve melhor do que o acolhimento. 4 RESUMO Este trabalho tem por objetivo a análise fenomenológica do Humor, focando-se no personagem Homer Simpson. A metodologia do trabalho consistirá numa fenomenologia que se desdobra em uma hermenêutica da facticidade da existência. Dentro dessa perspectiva, o humor flagra aspectos importantes e significativos dessa nossa condição existencial. Esse fenômeno será investigado em um processo hermenêutico, portanto, interpretativo/compreensivo, voltado para uma analítica existencial. A escolha de Homer Simpson se deu pelo fato de a personagem ser emblemática em seu modo de ser-no-mundo, o qual se dá quase que exclusivamente através do humor. Paralelamente, podemos observar o Humor como uma dimensão da existencia humana – já que este permeia a existência de todos nós, e não apenas de Homer Simpson. Ao final, é feita uma consideração sobre a possibilidade da utilização do humor na clínica, tendo em vista a possibilidade de ser-no-mundo através do humor. A pesquisa será teórica e se dará via hermenêutica, entre a análise do modo de ser de Homer Simpson e o desenvolvimento teórico do conceito de Humor. 3 SUMÁRIO RESUMO.....................................................................................................4 1.

DESCRIÇÂO DOS PERSONAGENS DE OS SIMPSONS CITADOS NESTE TRABALHO FAMÍLIA SIMPSON Homer J. Simpson - Homer é um pai de família e trabalha como Inspetor de Segurança na Usina de Energia Nuclear de uma cidade denominada Springfield. Homer formou-se em último lugar no secundário. Gosta de cerveja, rosquinhas, as costeletas de porco de Marge, sua esposa, bem como de jogar boliche. Tornou-se mundialmente conhecido pela expressão “D’oh!”, a qual recorre toda vez que algo ruim acontece, por culpa própria ou alheia. Marjorie Bouvier Simpson - Marge - Marge Simpson, esposa de Homer, é uma dona de casa e seu maior orgulho são seus três filhos e seu marido, a quem sempre apóia, mesmo quando ele faz bobagens ou comete erros. Bartholomew Jo-jo Simpson - Bart - Bart é o filho mais velho, tem 10 anos e está na 4ª série do primário. É conhecido basicamente pelas suas diversas travessuras inclusive a de passar trotes telefônicos para Moe, dono de uma taverna que tem esse mesmo nome. Adora andar de skate. Elizabeth Marie Simpson - Lisa - Lisa é a filha do meio do casal e tem 8 anos. Uma garota muito inteligente, cujas atividades preferidas são tocar seu saxofone e ir à escola. É budista e vegetariana. Margaret Simpson - Maggie - Com apenas 1 ano de idade, Maggie já aprendeu a soletrar o próprio nome, já andou pela cidade de Springfield sozinha e atirou no homem mais rico de Springfield, o Sr. Burns. É conhecida pelo som um tanto quanto alto que faz ao chupar sua chupeta. OUTROS PERSONAGENS CITADOS NO TRABALHO Apu Nahasapeemapetilon - Imigrante indiano que trabalha no mercado Kwik-E’- Mart. É casado e tem oito filhos gêmeos, ou seja, óctuplos. Moe Szyslak - Moe é holandês e dono da Taverna do Moe (Moe’s, no original). É um homem muito feio, avarento e tem tendências suicidas. Troy McClure - Ator e apresentador de TV. Chegou a ter sucesso e fama no passado, mas atualmente faz participações duvidosas em qualquer tipo de programa, onde se apresenta sempre lembrando o público de filmes nos quais já participou. Waylon Smithers - Empregado da Usina Nuclear de Springfield. Braço direito do dono da usina , vive sempre bajulando o patrão. Ned Flanders - Vizinho da família Simpsons. Ned é muito religioso, calmo e prestativo, e por algum motivo (ou vários) desperta o ódio de Homer Simpson. 6 2. INTRODUÇÃO D’oh! O presente trabalho teve início há quase quinze anos, quando me foi apresentado pela primeira vez o seriado televisivo, então já conhecido do público, Os Simpsons. Para mim, um garoto de oito anos, Os Simpsons não era mais do que um desenho animado como qualquer outro que assistia naquela época. A diferença, entretanto, que já naquele tempo eu observava, era a presença dos adultos assistindo a apresentação desse programa. Chamava-me a atenção como aquele desenho específico atraía os mais velhos e mesmo assim, naquela época, não me parecia muito diferente daqueles em que um gato sai perseguindo um rato. Eu cresci e junto comigo cresceu e mudou minha compreensão sobre o desenho. Comecei a ver em Homer mais do que um simples pateta e a enxergar Marge com olhos diferentes dos que a definiam como mãe rabugenta. Bart, para mim, deixou de ser um garoto rebelde e Lisa tornou- se mais do que uma “nerd”. Naquele tempo Os Simpsons já estavam em sua quarta temporada, e o programa havia se tornado um importante representante da cultura pop mundial (posto que ocupa até os dias da formulação deste trabalho). Nas palavras de J.L.Lagger (2006): “A série Os Simpsons entrou para o livro dos recordes como a comédia há mais tempo no ar em horário nobre (...) Em dezembro de 2002, o desenho recebeu

  • The Fifth Simpsons Packet.Pdf
    Ground Zero; About Me; Model U.N.; International Relations; Web Pages; Internet Links The following packet was written by Hayden Hurst. Please direct any comments to [email protected]. The Fifth Simpsons Packet Toss-Ups 1. The Simpsons' first Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 1997 came for "We Put The Spring In Springfield". It's second came one year later, with a song that involved no traditional Simpsons cast members. It is, however, a relatively elaborate number - moving from Los Angeles to elsewhere in California - all while never leaving New York. Oh, and it also involves strapping down Liza Minelli. For ten points, name this song, a key feature of the Broadway play "Kickin' It". ANSWER: You're _CHECKING IN_ (accept ''I'm Checking In") (accept "We Put The Spring In Springfield" before it's said) 2. Its adjunct gets its name from Chief Starving Bear, and it's located on Bid Snake Lake and below Mount Avalanche. It was originally run by Mr. Black - afterwards, it was worse than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq put together. For ten points, name this Krustiest place on Earth. ANSWER: _KAMP KRUSTY_ 3. The answer is sort of a tie. In any case, it does not involve running around a beer truck or marrying Marge. It may involve a Krustyburger, an hour-long episode of Mama's family, and Lisa's birth. However, it's probably involves skipping church, winning a radio contest, making moon waffles, and finding a penny. For ten points, what am I talking about? ANSWER: _BEST DAY OF HOMER'S LIFE_ (accept equivalents) 4.

  • The Simpson Pedigree Family Trait Data: the Following Have 4 Fingers
    The Simpson Pedigree Many years ago, Abe Simpson married the dashing blue haired Penelope Olson. The two fell madly in love and had two sons – Herb and Homer. Not much is known about Herb. It is unknown if he ever married or if the “Four finger trait” was passed on but early family photos show Herb appeared normal. When Homer was in high school he met Marge, a dashing blue-haired beauty. Homer noticed the difference between them, but Marge didn’t seem to care. As the saying goes, the rest was history. Homer and Marge fell for each and married shortly after high school. Marge’s family was not without the trait but none of her sisters had it and neither did Marge. Marge’s mom, Jackie married Clancy Burns, the wealthy owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Their first born was Marge but they had two more girls Patty and Selma. Patty eventually ended up marrying Troy McClure, the actor, much to the surprise and disappointment of her sister/best friend/only friend Selma. In response Selma married the Comic Book Guy named Guy. They had two children; a girl named Patrice and a son named Jub-Jub (after Selma’s favorite pet lizard). Back to Marge and Homer – Marge and Homer’s first child, Bartholomew was quite a terror. Fortunately, their second child, Lisa was nothing like Bart. Six years later, Maggie was born. Bart reunited with one of his first loves, Reverend Lovejoy’s daughter Grace, and they got married at Krusty Burger in Springfield.
