My favorite Simpsons character would have to be Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel: "Some folk'll never eat a skunk, but then again some folk'll -- like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel."
'Some folkll never lose a toe, but then again, some folk'll...'
I always loved Sideshow Bob....child entertainer, homicidal maniac....and the most evil of all evil laughs.
Disco Stu
I wish that I could be uber cool and reference some way underutilized simpsons character just to show how knowledgeable that I am, but at the end of the day the laughs always go to homer. sweet sweet homer.
Apu
The best simpsons character is Ralph Wiggum because he has the greatest quotes ever! "Me fail English? That's unpossible!!" "Oh boy sleep, that's where I'm a viking!" "I think I bent my wookie." "Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabopple were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me." "Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers!"
Thrillhouse, I mean Milhouse Van Houten!
ABRAHAM SIMPSON
RETIRED SOLDIER
TOTAL HOTTIE
Homer of course! Homer no function beer well without!
Frank Grimes from the "Homer's Enemy" episode.
"I can be lazy too! (takes his tie off, moons one of the technicians) Look at me, I am a worthless employee, just like Homer Simpson! Give me a promotion!"
My absolute favorite is Mr. Burns. He's all evil, all the time. For example:
Burns (through tears) "Smithers, do you think maybe my power power plant killed those ducks?"
Smithers: "there's no maybe about it sir."
Burns through tears: "Excellent."
So, Homer is the obvious choice, but people have been calling me Lisa Simpson since I was like 10, so I'm going to have to go with LISA! (hey, she's got game, she went on a date with Nelson.)
Definitely Kang or Kodos, now that they've reached the limits of what rectal probing can teach them.
Mr. Burns is my favorite, because he is responsible for the most brilliant line in any Simpsons episode.
Smithers: 'Here's Mr. Burns terrorizing children in a 19th Century woodcut'.
Also...
Mr. Burns: 'Doing something gay Smithers? Foot loose, fnacy free? Mother's, lock up your daughters! Smithers is on the town!'
Genius.
No one messes with Hans Moleman!
frickin love ralph wiggum!
nose pickers of the world unite!
Homer.
Without him all is lost.....
Brad
My favorite is the gay waiter/department store clerk. Ah, gay homer voiced goodness....
abraham simpson. the scene in the curse of the flying hellfish episode in which his pants fall down while he's talking to montgomery burns post-funeral is utterly hilarious. i don't think i've ever laughed harder in my entire life.
Definitely Cletus
Best character is Lionel Hutz
Lionel Hutz: Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film, "The Never-Ending Story".
Homer: So. Do you think I have a case?
Lionel Hutz: Homer, I don't use the word "hero" very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history.
Troy McClure
Homer man, Homer. Because there's a little Homer in all of us.
The Simpson's has sucked since about 1999. Notice almost every quote above is from the 1990s. The new episodes make little to no sense. The characters have different personalities and do things they never would have done (or said) in the past. They have entire episodes about ancillary characters. And the humor went from clever to crude. Still, you have to be an alum of the Harvard Lampoon to be a writer so I guess this is what passes for funny amongst Gen Y. This movie is ten years too late and, to borrow from Bart, is going to suck and blow.
Definately Professor Frink. Aw, for glaven out loud.
"Stupid machine, oh wait a minute, this isn't the Monsterometer, it's the Frog-Exaggerator Mm-hai."
Also, these are some lame prizes so this must really be a drive to get more people to register. Trying to pump up your numbers for a sale?
i completely agree #25
gil the salesman
HANK SCORPIO (voiced by Albert Brooks)
He was only in one episode but he is still an epic character.
Hank Scorpio: "Don't call me that word. I don't like things that elevate me above the other people. I'm just like you. Oh sure, I come in later in the day, I get paid a lot more, and I take longer vacations, but I don't like the word "boss."
Hank Scorpio: You will notice, my new best friend, that we are pretty casual around here.
Homer: Yes, sir. I will notice that. Very casual, Mr. Scorpion.
Marge: Mr. Scorpio, this house is almost too good for us. I keep expecting to get the bum's rush.
Hank Scorpio: We don't have bums in our town, Marge, and if we did they wouldn't rush. They'd be allowed to go at their own pace.
The klassic komedian from the Lower East Side of Springfield: Krusty is King!
"Did you send those flowers to Bea Arthurs' grave? I don't care if she's not dead yet, JUST DO IT!"
Dr. Julius Hibbert
Lisa. She's a vegetarian!
Dr. Julius Hibbert
My favorite character is Chief Wiggum. I do feel bad he was kicked out of the B-Sharps, and his son is Ralph, which is a plus.
To Marge: Ma'am your husband is DOA.
Marge: Oh my god, Homer's dead?
Wiggum: Oh, no..sorry..I meant DWI.
Üter!
Ralphie!! "You choo-choo-choose me?"
Barney Gumble. Remember the episode when he directs a short film? Even drunks can create something beautiful: "Don't cry for me; I'm already dead."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P979Jy-tIY
Rainier Wolfcastle from the McBain series. Hands down the most brilliant character.
Disco Stu likes disco music!
Best Character? No question.
Hans Moleman, aka the frozen caveman in the Freak-e-Mart?
Homer...there is no contest. Long live Homer!
Moe.
Comic Book Guy
"My Other Car Is The Millennium Falcon"
Nelson Muntz
HA HA
Of course, Homer is the greatest sitcom character ever, but when it comes to the minor characters on the show, I'm a Professor Frink fan. Plus I also have a soft spot for Agnes Skinner - "Children are so fat these days. Can't we make money off that somehow?!
Burns. Mister Burns!
"Senior Schindler es bueno. Senior Burns es ... el diablo!"
"Listen, Spielbergo, Schindler and I are like peas in a pod: we're both factory owners, we both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, dammit!"
must be eight-year-old lisa simpson. for her politics, her intellect, and her remarkable ability to have developed some sort of sanity coming from that crazy family.
a few good quotes: (about Nelson, I think) "He's not like anybody I've ever met. He's like a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a vest."
"Mom, romance is dead. It was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece."
Maggie! Maggie's the smartest, toughest, most badass thing in a onesie there ever was.
Milhouse "this is what it's like when doves cry" Van Houten takes the cake. The perfect storm of dud-liness. Date the poor boy boy Lisa!
As Homer said: “that jerk that goes ‘Yeeeeesss!’”
I love Carl. He's the only black person on the show.
Dr. Nick!
"Hi, Dr. Nick!" "Hi, everybody!"
Board chairman: Dr. Nick, this malpractice committee has received a few complaints against you. Of the 160 gravest charges, the most troubling are performing major operations with a knife and fork from a seafood restaurant…
Dr. Nick: But I cleaned them with my napkin!
Lionel Hutz: "Mr. Simpson, don't you worry. I watched Matlock in a bar last night. The sound wasn't on, but I think I got the gist of it."
RIP Phil Hartman
Gotta love Ralph Wiggum!! I do at least. "GO BANANA!!"
i like moleman because he is the creepiest
It's all about Ralphie.
"My cat's breath smells like cat food!"
"My worm went into my mouth and I ate it. Can I have another?"
"I found moon rocks in my nose!"
Oddly enough, my favorite character is Maggie Simpson. She's the only character who can make me laugh without ever saying a word (except for Da-Da in that one episode). You always forget she's there until the writers have her do something funny. So sneaky!
Disco Stu, not only named after a tagger in 80s DC, but "Disco Stu don't advertise."
Duffman - Are you ready to get Duffed?
Comic Book Guy - best.character.ever.
Mayor Quimby
I'm not sure if she's my favorite, but I quite like Marge. She's always good to be the voice of reason in an increasingly crazy world. Plus, she introduced us to that Escalator to Nowhere, maybe the funniest joke in the history of the world.
I agree w/ #25 and #27.
The one, the only: Joey Jo Jo Shabadoo!
#27 is correct
really lame gothamist
Boo-urns! Boo-urns!!
(...mr. burns.) I like his T-rex arms.
LYLE LANLEY
best traveling song and dance man ever:
I swear it's Springfield's only choice
Throw up your hands and raise your voice
Monorail!
What's it called?
Monorail!
One more time
Monorail!
Ok, for my obscure choice:
The squishy lady from the episode, "The Sweetest Apu", where Apu cheats on Manjula. The reason is because she can tie a Twizzler with her tongue into the words "Do Me." Oh Apu, scratch and win!
For my not-so-obscure choice:
Rainer Luftwaffe Wolfcastle, because he shot cartoon James Lipton.
bumblebee man. especially when he does things like step into news casts, etc.
ralphie "i look like cable TV"
I love Carl. He's the only black person on the show.
Dr. Hibbert not black enough for you?
Ron Howard was the best guest star portraying himself.
Homer: I don't need your pity or your money.
[pockets money]
Ron Howard: Usually when you say that, you give the money back.
Ron Howard: Is that... vodka... and wheat grass?
Homer: It's called a "lawnmower". I invented it. Want one?
Toss up
Snow Ball 1 - for being the original
Comic Book Guy - Best (semi-dramatic pause) Character (longer semi-dramatic pause) Ever.
So this is what you folks at the Gothamist are reduced to . Pandering for full registrations ! Lol Thanks but no thanks . I like being a "Guest" Here . It just soot's me knowing that when I visit this place, I leave anonymous ! Posted by; "Still Not Amused"
George C. Scott, in Man Getting Hit By Football.
"Ow, my groin!!"
Ralph Wiggum
'I taste burning'
C'mon, as a New Yorker, you have to love Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico, head of the D'Amico Crime Family and modeled after Genovese Crime boss "Fat Tony" Salerno. "I haven't cried like this since I paid to see Godfather III."
Carl Carlson.
Definitely Kid Presentable - Moe.
Also, it was Jasper Beardsley, not Moleman, who was the frozen man in the Freak-E-Mart. "Moon pie...what a time to be alive."
Crossover show with The Critic:
Jay Sherman: But first, we have a special guest: Rainer Wolfcastle, star of the reprehensible McBain movies.
Rainer Wolfcastle: Jay, my new film is a mixture of action und comedy. It's called "McBain: Let's Get Silly."
[Cut to clip from movie showing McBain with a microphone in front of a brick wall]
Rainer Wolfcastle as McBain: Did you ever notice how men always leave the toilet seat up?
[pause]
Rainer Wolfcastle as McBain: That's the joke.
Man in audience: You suck, McBain!
[McBain pulls a machine gun and fires into the audience]
Rainer Wolfcastle as McBain: Now, my Woody Allen impression: I'm a neurotic nerd who likes to sleep with little girls.
Man in audience: Hey, that really sucked!
[McBain pulls the pin on a grenade and tosses it at him]
Man in audience: [Cut back to Rainer and Jay]
Rainer Wolfcastle: The film is just me in front of a brick wall for an hour and a half. It cost $80 million.
Jay Sherman: [contemptuous] How do you sleep at night?
Rainer Wolfcastle: On top of a pile of money with many beautiful ladies.
"Still Not Amused"... "soot's me"? You leave anonymous and a retard.
Ya, pretty lame Gothamist... Lame like a FOX!! - Homer Simpson
as per #41, Hans Moleman was no Frostillicus (aka the frozen caveman from the 'Freakymart'). The frozen guy was Jasper, the old man who is Grandpa's friend from the home. He wanted to freeze himself and wake up in the future. When he does, he notes that 'Time has not been kind to [Apu]' and then picks up a Moon Pie from the rack, saying, "what a time to be alive."
Definitely Waylon Smithers. good stuff.
Definitely Waylon Smithers. good stuff.
What, no love for Patty and/or Selma?
"The older they get, the cuter they ain't."
Always liked Gill, the interchangeable salesman character that seems to be loosely based on Sheldon Levine from Glengarry Glen Ross.
Mr. Burns: Woah, slow down there maestro. There's a *New* Mexico?
I second the Hank Scorpio.
"...Now if you'll excuse me, I'm in the middle of a fun run! See you at work tomorrow! Although I really don't like to call it work!"
And furthermore, his pockets are filled with sugar.
Jimbo Jones for his gem of a quote:
Uh, yeah, yeah, I love Crimby. Can I have some more bumper stickers, dude?...
(Bart gives him Mayor Quimby bumper stickers and promptly fixes it on an already covered Milhouse in a shopping cart teetering at the edge of a hill)
Alright! The mummy is ready for his mystical journey!
You cannot deny that Troy McClure doesn't hold a nice squishy wet spot in your heart.
Duff Mcshark - hands down the biggest party shark in the ocean
Poor, sweet, dim-witted little Ralph Wiggum. He's the best!
Patty & Selma!!
(as Homer runs past them naked):
"There goes the last lingering thread of my heterosexuality..."
Or Surly, the giant beer bottle at Duff Gardens.
Mojo the helper monkey
Pray for him.
Homer. Or Patty and Selma. Or How about Patty, Selma and Homer together - but I guess that doesn't constitute a single character. So I guess I'll stick with Homer. Homer sweet homer.
Homer learning the internet:
Homer: I just bought a stock called News Corp.
Bart: Dad, that's Fox.
Homer: Ahhh! Undo! Undo!
kent brockman
I can't believe no one has claimed Poochie as their favorite.
As Itchy and Scratchy said, "Where's Poochie?"
If you said it already then I fail. If not, It's so mine and I retract my Moleman allegiance (he's second after Scorpio).
I want to see "The Capital City Goofball" cause he is such a happy character and I love the team! He and Homer are awesome!
Ralph Wiggum is great at offering killer jokes in moments of tension. Like in the episode 'Bart Star':
Nelson: Simpson if we lose one more game you're a dead man.
Ralph: You're going to heaven!
Disco Stu because "Disco Stu doesn't advertise."
Duff Man! He doesn't appear very often, but when he does it's always killer. "Duffman is thrusting in the general direction of the problem! Oh, yeah!"
Here's hoping that he will have a starring role in the movie. Although it seems unlikely, what with Bart, Lisa, and all. You know, the actual Simpsons.
Moe
and all his failed suicide attempts
my favorite character(s) are probably kang and kodos: "As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, TWIRLING towards freedom!"
but the best guest stars were of course the ramones:
"I just want to say that this gig sucks!"
"Hey, up yours Springfield!"
Homer J Simpson
No one is advocating the Groundskeeper Willy?
he's the bestest.
that's right I 'ate 'im.
and I 'ate the mess he left on the rug too.
Uh, people who think they're doing this just to up membership...of course you need to be a member, they need to know your email to tell you if you won.
Anyway: Homer, now and forever.
Bart: Dad, what's a Muppet?
Homer: Well, it's not quite a mop, it's not quite a puppet, but man... So, to answer you question, I don't know.
That will never not be hilarious to me.
Troy McClure iz da bomb
5)sideshow mel, 4)bumblebee man, 3)cletus the slack-jawed yokel, 2)Disco Stu & 1)Troy McClure: (in a pro-beef industry film) "don't kid yourself billy, if a cow ever got the chance he'd eat you and everyone you care about."
Mr. Burns!!
Uter ist mein Favorite, ja!
I'd have to say the bumblebee man.
Simpson. Detective Homer Simpson.
(He's named like my name!!)
santa's little helper..
Though Disco Stu, Kang and Kodos, Stampy, Chub-Chub, Corporal Punishment, and the Cat Burglar are all fantastic (let's not forget the Comic Book Store Guy), my personal favorite is the Ye-eee-EEESS guy. Always obliging Homer's requests be it in a restaurant or selling ice cream on a wagon on the streets. This guy is just so eerily funny, that if he said his catch phrase 9 times in a row it might be funner on the eighth time than 1-7 combined.
Yee-EEEE-eeeSSS!
Hans Moleman
"I think that I shall never see
My cataracts are blinding me"
Mayor Quimby
Gotta go with Surly Duff.
Surly Duff - “Hey, Surly only looks out for one guy….Surly.”
Selma- "Oh, Sorry Surly"
Surly Duff-"Shut up."
CLASSIC!
Now two question...
1. Where is the prize and
2. give me the prize.
My favorite character would have to be:
Homer Simpson.
9 times out of 10, he's the most creative and hilarious character in an episode. Think about it, which character has consistently made you laugh, and laugh hard? Homer. His lack of inhibition and judgment, and oftentimes unbridled emotion makes him the best and most entertaining character in the series.
The Space Coyote.
Here's another vote for the wonderfully smart and opinionated, Lisa Simpson.
it's got to be Homer.
I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T...
All of them, but if I had to pick just one it would be Mr. Burns.
"What good is money if it can't inspire terror in your fellow man?"
and
"Release the hounds!"
I also really like Agnes Skinner a.k.a. "Oldie Hawn"
"Handsome Pete" he dances for nickels!
Hands down, Moe Sizlack.
Oh, snap, #125 -- I'd forgotten about Handsome Pete!
Dear, sweet, wordless Maggie.
I really dig the little blue-haired girl with the cat's eye glasses. She's always in the background at school and never says a word.
Also I love Nelson Munce. He's rude, ugly, a bully and stupid, and I can relate to Lisa having a crush on him.
Heckubus: 'Arrr, you gave him a quarter, he'll be dancing all afternoon!'
Surly!! (from Duff Gardens)
"Surly looks out for one guy: Surly."
"Sorry, Surly."
Moe of course!
I am going to go with three. Hope thats not cheating.
Benjamin, Doug, and Gary from when Homer goes to college.
Favorite character is Comic Book Guy, aka Jeff Albertson. Worst. Comment. Ever.
the bumblebee guy. que es el dilly-o?
there are so many amazing characters...but i'll reference an old favorite: linguo the robot.
"linguo..dead"
"no, linguo IS dead"
Lionel Hutz
Ralphie Wiggums
Ur a Preppy-ass-wipe "Aristocrat" ! Learn to read in between the lines, It was just a Sarcastic joke I laced into my comment from a Simpson's episode from about [4] yrs. ago . Geez, This coming from someone calling thyself (Yes I used the term 'Thy', Again read into it) an "Aristocrat" ! Posted by; "Still Not Amused"
Sideshow Bob. Any man whose nemesis is not only Bart Simpson but also unusually-placed rakes and who has the stomach to marry Selma (however briefly) is a man who should be revered.
Speaking of Side Show Bob, I loved when he ended up at the minimum security prison (election fraud episode?) and the guys rowing yell to him, "Terwiliger's a Yalie! C'mon, we need a fourth to row against the Princeton alums." And Bob does his classic scowl and mutters, "Princeton."
Carl.
Flanders
Ned: Mmm-hmm, and some people just steer clear of that whole hornet's nest! I'll stick with just plain white bread, thank you very much, maybe with a ...
All but Flanders: "... glass of water on the side for dippin'!"
Abraham Simpson, because he can't go 5 seconds without embarrassing himself.
"My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star. "
Frank (Grimy) Grimes is my favorite character, for railing against the Homer's of society.
Frank Grimes: How could you afford all this?
Homer: I don't know. Don't ask me how the economy works.
Who else but "his name is Monty but to you he's Mr. Burns."
It could be no other, pure, evil and brilliantly funny C. M. Burns. Not enough of him today, and that's one reason why it's not as good as it used to be.
Although I'll give a secondary vote to the brilliance of Barney Gumble. Burp.
The guy sitting at the next table from Troy and Selma, just after she lights a cigarette . . .
"I ordered a Zima, not Emphysema"
Or the mob guys in that same episode, referring to Troy McClure and his odd attraction to aquatic animals. . .
#1: I thought you said he was dead.
#2: No, I said he sleeps with the fishes!
But seriously, Homer is the reason we keep coming back. He is everyman and we are Homer. C'mon, he saved Springfield wearing mumu! He was the conductor on the Monorail!
Marge: Homer, there's a family of possums in here!
Homer: I call the big one "Bitey"
He gets away with what we wish we could . . .
After destroying the Church with a home-built rocket:
Marge: Homer, I think that is the worst thing you have ever done!
Homer: Marge, you say that so often it's lost all meaning.
HOMER HOMER HOMER HOMER HOMER!
GO ISOTOPES!
The Old Jewish Man, sometimes simply called the Crazy Guy or Crazy Old Man (often seen with Grandpa Simpson and Jasper).
Lisa: "We've got to get the old folks back to the Old Folks Home!"
Moe! Great bartender, greater drink
It's gotta be Homer.
Any dude who's dumb enough to eat Floor Pie has got my vote. :-)
Milhouse and his Uncle Bastardo
Is it weird that I am in my twenties and Lisa Simpson is one of my role models? Maybe...but she's a smart spitfire.
My favorite Simpsons character was Troy McClure. You may remember him from such cartoons as "Christas Ape," and "Christmas Ape Goes to Summer Camp."
3) Disco Stu
2) Crazy, gun toting texan
10 Don incognito
Am I the only one who likes Bart?
Bart
most definitely professor frink
i can't believe i forgot martin:
