About this sound

The classic Homer Simpson drooling sound from The Simpsons, used whenever food looks irresistible or someone spaces out thinking about a snack.

This is Homer Simpson's signature drooling moment, where a thought about donuts, bacon or any forbidden snack completely takes over his brain. You hear a wet, drawn-out slurp paired with Homer's soft, glazed mumble as his eyes go blank and saliva starts to escape. The humor comes from how instantly his body shuts down for appetite alone. It works as a perfect audio punchline for hunger, desire or a character being hilariously distracted by something delicious.

The sound comes from The Simpsons, the long-running animated series created by Matt Groening that debuted in 1989, featuring Homer Simpson voiced by Dan Castellaneta. His exaggerated drool became one of the character's most repeated visual and audio gags whenever donuts or other junk food were mentioned. Clips of the moment spread widely online in the 2010s as reaction videos and soundboard buttons, and it remains a staple shorthand for mindless food craving in memes and edits.

Pro Tip for Usage

Place the drool right after a close-up of food appears on screen and let it play over a slow zoom into Homer's vacant expression, or your subject's. Cut it early before it trails off if you need a quick reaction, and avoid adding music underneath because the wet sound is the joke.

Use Cases

  • Reacting to a donut or burger close-up in videos
  • Memes about craving food late at night
  • Adding a goofy hungry reaction to cooking clips
  • Punching up a moment when someone zones out
