~ God giving up on chasing down Homer. |
God, also known as Almighty Ruler of the Universe, is one of the two overarching protagonists (alongside Matt Groening) of The Simpsons. God is a relatively benign entity in the show itself, though he served as the overarching antagonist of The Simpsons Game.
He was voiced by Harry Shearer.
Villainous Acts[]
The Simpsons Game[]
God serves as the final boss to the Simpsons. He uses previous enemies encountered as icons in a Guitar Hero/Dance Dance Revolution match, while the chosen song ("Rock you Like a Hurricane", by the Scorpions) plays. As the whole family, you have to make them hit the notes in a correct time to break the game stations and defeat the minions he sends. They will change when the station is broken. Each station is a parody of a popular video game console (i.e.: Praystation is a parody of PlayStation, Xodus Box is a parody of Xbox and the Hii or I am in the Wii version is a parody of the Wii).
Treehouse of Horror XIV[]
When Homer was made the new Grim Reaper, he was forced to kill his wife, Marge. As he offered her body to God, he asked him to remove his powers. After turning Homer back to his former self, he then realized Homer tricked him, and the body he offered was Marge's sister, Patty Bouvier. Homer escapes on a motorcycle, being chased by God's beam of light. Homer passed a railroad, right before the train went by. God ceases pursuit when he finds his beam blocked by the train, and claims he's "too old and too rich for this".
