The domer meme audio comes from a 1992 episode of The Simpsons. Baby Bart Simpson says “domer” in season 4, episode 10 of the show, titled “Lisa’s First Word.” It’s a flashback scene of young Homer and Marge on the stoop of their first apartment, with Homer trying to teach Bart how to say “daddy.” When it sounds like Bart’s about to say the word, he says “domer” instead, which is a combination of “daddy” and “Homer.”^{[2]
