She along with her sister are shown to be older than Homer and Marge, but a birthdate has not been given.
It is presumed they are Unlike Homer, who usually makes a perfunctory if not particularly sincere or committed effort to be polite to his sisters-in-law out of respect for his wife , Patty and Selma have no hesitation in treating Homer with open rudeness and contempt. There were several instances where they did not seem to care when Homer faced a life-threatening situation. For instance, when Marge rushes to the hospital after receiving a telephone call Homer suffered a heart attack at work, Patty and Selma — instead of going to the hospital and comforting Marge in her time of need — remained seated at the kitchen table, continuing their activity of cutting coupons, gasping in amazement at a five cent discount and behaving as though nothing was wrong.
When Homer faked his death to get out of work, Patty and Selma showed up at the Simpson house holding a tombstone inscribed with "Homer J. We are richer for having lost him. Her bad traits have not gone unnoticed by the populace of Springfield and even their family, her mother even stated "[they're] a sort of evil", having raised them her whole life. Despite being identical twins, Patty and Selma have very different track records when it comes to finding dates.
According to Marge, Patty chose a life of celibacy, while Selma had celibacy thrust upon her. Her standards are extremely low, as evidenced by her comments on Mr.
Burns : "Single, eh? Well, he passes the Selma Test. Selma actively sought out a husband, having been married a total of six times. Selma later began dating and later married Grampa Simpson, who previously dated her mother.
Eventually, however, they realized they just cannot make it work because of his age and her career and called it quits. Selma once dated Hans Moleman but when the date finished, Selma imagined what life with Hans would be like and swiftly kicked him out of her car.
When Apu was threatened with deportation Selma refused to marry him due to his long name. Unable to find companionship in a husband, Selma also sought to have children. At one point she was considering using a sperm donor. After babysitting Bart and Lisa for a day, she realized although she wanted someone to love, she was not ready to have children and wound up adopting Jub-Jub, her Aunt Gladys' pet iguana. Later however, a very menopausal Selma adopted a Chinese baby, Ling Bouvier. During the adoption process, Selma pretended to be married to Homer, since the Chinese government only allows children to be adopted by married couples.
When the fraud was exposed, Selma managed to keep the baby, as a Chinese dignitary who had also been raised by a single parent became sympathetic. As children, Selma and her sister Patty Bouvier were apparently domineering towards Marge and ridiculed her ambition of becoming an astronaut. Their relationship seems to have improved over the years. As adults, the Bouvier twins have a friendly relationship with their sister and frequently visit the Simpsons. They seem relatively fond of their nieces and nephew, but seem to like them more when they are young: "The older they get, the cuter they ain't.
Selma and Patty have an avid sometimes maniacal love of the television show MacGyver. Selma nearly broke off her engagement with Sideshow Bob because he disliked the show, and both Patty and Selma stay up until in the morning to watch the show. Patty and Selma also have an interest in traveling.
Selma has also been to Duff Gardens. When they return home, they bring back numerous slides of them in these locations, and show them to the Simpson family, often describing the events in the most enjoyable way possible.
The family, especially Bart and Lisa , are shown as barely staying awake during these shows. During a slideshow of a childhood vacation with their father, the twins learn that he actually died from lung cancer. Patty ends up staying at the Simpsons house. The two then reconcile after realizing how bad the apartment smells, which leads to them smoking again. The twins try electronic cigarettes but hate the taste.
They then sneak their real cigarettes into the bathroom, but due to a fracking incident, the sink sets their hair on fire and then sets off the sprinkler. Homer catches the two attempting to smoke and they go upstairs to change. Selma claimed that she would switch to chewing tobacco before adopting Ling. However, Selma does still smoke, just not around Ling. Selma and Patty tend to be cynical and are noted for their addiction to tobacco smoking. In one episode during Season 26, they temporarily live with Homer.
Homer places a ban on smoking, so instead, they smoke electric cigarettes, which they hate. They have a strong, mutual and reciprocated dislike for their brother-in-law. Selma and Patty are shown to be older than Homer and Marge, but a birth date has not been given.
She enjoys getting foot massages as she is shown getting them constantly. She weighs pounds exact [5] and is considered overweight like Patty, though they are not as fat as Homer.
As teenagers and children, they are average weight, while Homer was still fat. Unlike Homer, who usually makes a perfunctory if not particularly sincere or committed effort to be polite to his sisters-in-law out of respect for his wife , Patty and Selma do not have hesitation in treating Homer with open rudeness and contempt. There were several instances where they did not seem to care when Homer faced a life-threatening situation. For instance, when Marge rushes to the hospital after receiving a telephone call that Homer had suffered a heart attack at work, Patty and Selma — instead of going to the hospital and comforting Marge in her time of need — remained seated at the kitchen table, continuing their activity of cutting coupons, gasping in amazement at a five cent discount and behaving as though nothing was wrong [6].
They later attempted to set up Marge with a rather sleazy man as a replacement for Homer, regardless of the fact that Homer was still very much alive. When Homer faked his demise to get out of work, Patty and Selma showed up at the Simpsons house holding a tombstone inscribed with "Homer J.
We are richer for having lost him. When Homer was revealed to be alive, the twins use the tombstone as a coffee table. It should also be noted that in the beginning of the series, Patty and Selma's catchphrase was, "Marge, why did you ever marry him"?
And then listed one single reason why he is a terrifying husband. This is apparently how trick-or-treating started. Despite this, Selma occasionally though very rarely shows fonder feelings for him; a prime example is in " Selma's Choice ", when Selma takes Bart and Lisa to Duff Gardens and is worn out due to them running off and Lisa becoming drugged, later expressing admiration for Homer's ability to cope with the kids.
On another occasion Homer left Marge to try to find a better job to give her what she deserved, and Patty and Selma rejoiced, but when she saw how unhappy Marge was Selma gave in and told her where Homer was working. Selma also pretended to be married to Homer so she could adopt Ling, since the adoption agency frowns upon single parents.
When it is revealed that the head of the agency was herself raised by a single parent, she allows Selma to keep Ling. Homer, for his part, despises the twins just as much as they dislike him, but he has shown occasional bouts of kindness towards them, and Selma in particular much to their surprise. He does this more because of his love for Marge than for any love for his in-laws. One example is, when Sideshow Bob was running for mayor, Homer voted for him just because there was a Selma-killing policy.
Selma's bad traits have not gone unnoticed by the populace of Springfield and even their family; her mother even stated that "[they're] a sort of evil", having raised them her entire lifetime.
