Review Notes
According to WatchMojo.com, even with his short stature off-screen, DeVito never fails to give his characters a big presence and a whole lotta life. Homer’s brother Herb is no different. A rags-to-riches automotive magnate, Herb lets Homer in on his business, only to have him ruin it with a ridiculous car idea. DeVito’s frustrated mannerism and tendency to snap are relatable from an estranged family point of view and a business one.

Character Tropes
- Honest Corporate Executive:
- Self-Made Man: Herb's entire youth was like this as he grew up in the Shelbyville Orphanage, washed cars for his college classmates to pay for his education and became a car manufacturer, with said classmates being now his board of directors. Homer ruined this, sending Herb to the poorhouse until he invented a device that translated baby talk. During his extended absence in the series up until Burns' defeat, Herb has repeatedly plummeted from riches to rags and back up again at least three to four times.
- Uncle Pennybags:
- Big Good: A number of people are in great awe of him.
- Friend To All Children
- Good Old Fisticuffs:
