"'''D'oh!'''" ({{IPAc-en|d|oʊ|ʔ|audio=En-us-d'oh.oga}}) is the most famous [[catchphrase]] used by the fictional character [[Homer Simpson]], from  ''[[The Simpsons]]'', an [[animated sitcom]]. It is an exclamation typically used after Homer injures himself, realizes that he has done something foolish, or when something bad has happened or is about to happen to him. All his prominent blood relations—son [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], daughters [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]], [[Abraham Simpson|his father]], [[Mona Simpson (The Simpsons)|his mother]] and [[Simpson family#Herbert Powell|half-brother]]—have also been heard to use it themselves in similar circumstances. On a few occasions, Homer's wife [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and characters outside the family such as [[Mr. Burns]] and [[Sideshow Bob]] have also used this phrase.

In 2006, "d'oh!" was listed as number six on [[TV Land]]'s list of the 100 greatest television catchphrases.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-11-28-catchprase-list_x.htm|title=Dyn-O-Mite!
