# Gentlemans Barber Shop Homero Pompadour Gentleman's Barber Shop Homero Pompadour is a viral advertisement for a Puerto Rican barbershop that uses The Simpsons animation style, featuring Homer Simpson asking for a pompadour haircut. The 2021 video became a popular meme in 2025, inspiring accuracy reenactments, brainrot edits, and crossovers with other barbershop memes on TikTok. ## Overview Gentleman's Barber Shop Homero Pompadour is a meme originating from an animated advertisement for a barbershop in Bayamón, Puerto Rico[1]. The ad mimics The Simpsons animation style and shows Homer Simpson (called "Homero" in Spanish) visiting the barbershop with his son Bart. The barber greets them with "Homero, vas a recortarte?" ("Homer, are you going to get a haircut?"), and Homer explains that Bart wants a pompadour hairstyle[2]. The advertisement features several comedic moments that became memorable to viewers. After showing Moe Szyslak getting a pompadour cut, Homer asks what they did with the real Moe. The video ends with a dark joke showing Moe tied up in a basement with a gag in his mouth[2]. This unexpected dark humor contributed to the video's appeal. The meme is often referred to simply as "Homero Pompadour" or "Homero Vas a Recortarte" after the barber's opening question. It became part of a broader trend of barbershop memes on TikTok, frequently crossing over with related formats like Thompson's Cutz and Designs and Adrian Eeffoc Brainrot content[2]. ## How It Spread The Homero Pompadour meme began spreading beyond YouTube when TikToker @angelazael_ reposted the original video on October 10th, 2022[5].
