Consider it this way George Meyer, being a show veteran behind many of the shows best gags for the previous decade and a leading writer of S9-12 (assuming that he held significant influence over script rewrites, or the content that ultimately ended up broadcast during this period of the shows lifetime) and notable for his darker sense of humor (which is visible in Brothers Little Helper, itself unusually macabre comedy-wise by S10 standards), served as one of the writers on Behind the Laughter, an intended finale which satirized Homers flanderization from none-too-bright but well-meaning family breadwinner to irredeemable and physically indestructible omnipotent cartoon egotist by assigning his successively plummeting intellect to physical injury and resultant addiction to painkillers.It may be a stretch to interpret it this way (although the popularity of the Pixar Theory confirms that outlandish and barely-supported theories can gain significant following and external credence regardless), but one has to wonder if Meyer actually utilized this theory as a kind of guideline for Jerkass Homers character, particularly as BTL presents the show itself as a semi-documentary on the casts everyday life, with the external/executive crews desire to push the Simpson family into increasingly outlandish situations for comedy/viewership/ratings resulting in Homer sustaining head injuries and the effects of heavy painkiller usage/over-dosage (due to the demands of filming the series) inflicting further psychological damage by spacing out Homer into a more childlike and delusional figure to the extent where the damage becomes a permanent malady.
