The iconic yellow characters from The Simpsons have reflected (and reflected on) every aspect of modern and pop culture, including email. At one point in the show's 14th season, Homer Simpson reveals his email address as chunkylover53@aol.com.

In Which Episode Is Homer's Email Address Revealed?

In an episode titled "The Dad Who Knew Too Little," Homer hires a detective to find out more about his daughter Lisa. He (hilariously, of course) offers his email address as a way for the detective to reach him. The episode first aired in January 2003.

Can I Email Homer?

The AOL screen name chunkylover53 and the associated email address chunkylover53@aol.com do exist. They were registered by Matt Selman, a writer for The Simpsons, around the same time the episode aired.

You can send an email to chunkylover53@aol.com, as many others have done. However, you're unlikely to get a reply. Over the years Matt Selman has tried to keep up with checking the account and answering messages as Homer. Reportedly, he hasn't given up completely on doing so. However, with hundreds of messages arriving each day, answering each one has become impossible.

Is The Email Address Associated With Malware?

In the past, malware authors have pretended to be chunkylover53 and tried to direct people to download malicious software. This problem wasn't widespread, but, given how unlikely it is that you'd actually be getting a message from the address, it's always best to be wary.
