Which animated TV character is famously associated with doughnuts?

Homer Simpson is the animated TV character famously associated with doughnuts. His enthusiasm for the pink-frosted treat is one of the character’s defining recurring traits in The Simpsons.

Homer, voiced by Dan Castellaneta, works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant but is frequently distracted by food, especially doughnuts. The show uses his appetite for comic situations, visual gags, and character development. The familiar image of Homer reaching for or eating a doughnut has become closely tied to the series and to the character’s impulsive personality.

Doughnuts appear throughout The Simpsons, including the fictional Lard Lad chain and its enormous doughnut statue. The show’s opening couch gag and many individual episodes also use doughnuts as memorable props. These jokes helped make the food part of Homer’s visual identity beyond any single storyline.

Bart Simpson is Homer’s son, but he is more strongly associated with skateboarding, pranks, and catchphrases. SpongeBob SquarePants and Peter Griffin have their own food-related jokes, yet neither is as consistently and famously linked with doughnuts as Homer.
