How come Matt Groening thought of "d'oh" to be in "The Simpsons"?

Flynn_17

On Laurel and Hardy, there was a characted who went 'Doooooooooh' whenever something wrong was done. Matt Groegning liked this, and so tried to put it onto the recording track for Homer, but it didn't sound right, so he shortened it. Plus, it sort of sounds like 'donuts', doesn't it?

I agree with Flynn_17 as Groening himself said that Doh! came from an old character actor named James Finlayson who often appeared with Laurel & Hardy. http://www.snpp.com/other/interviews/groening96.html Jun 25 04, 5:29 PM
