Least Favorite Simpsons Character

Post by Meghan » Wed Nov 24, 2004 6:24 pm

I know, we all are devoted fans, but lets be realistic, out of the all the characters both original and cameo, which top ten are your least favorite?

Here are mine

1. Marge
2. Lindsey Naggle (however yu spell her surname)
3. Lisa
4. Skinner
5. Disco Stu (just because I hate disco)
6. That Texas guy (he was mean in "Lisa the Treehugger")
7. Apu
8. Kirk (Luanne had a good reason to divource him)
9. Mayor Quimby
10. Frank Grimes (Nobody hates Homer like that! *angry* NOBODY!)

You don't have to put a reason down, but if you have one dont be afraid to share.

On the subject of Helen Lovejoy, I wholeheartedly agree with Jacques.

Hmmm... I can't understand Marge, Lisa, Skinner and Apu being in there.... they're all generally solid characters, IMHO. Here's mine (1 being the worst, which I assume is the same with yours?)

10. Booberella
9. Crazy Dr. Hibbert
8. Duffman (in all his forms)
7. Lindsey Neagle
6. Whiny Lisa
5. Loopy/Crazy Mad Mad Marge
4. Senile Mr. Burns
3. Jerkass Homer
2. Cookie Kwan
1. The Rich Texan

Skinner is associated too much on his mother. I just wish they tone that down. Also, I just found it embarrasing and unfunny to see him dressed as Catwoman when he stopped Edna marrying Comic Book Guy.
Before continuing, it may be in your best interest, dear reader, to stop and ponder this. Picture it in your mind's eye. An evil one-eyed midget named Cheatum swam across the Gulf of Mexico wearing a shark fin on his back and then planted a bomb on a boat. Think about that. Let that sink in. Now. Wouldn't you want to buy a wrestling show after seeing this?

On the subject of Skinner's mother, I have to agree somwhat. Almost every time he appears these days she does too. I did always like the hints that he was dependent on and had an overbearing mother, but I think it was better when she only appeared every so often and was referred to more than seen. Like when Skinner looks out the window and sees her watching him, or when Edna tells him to go crying to his mother and he says "Don't worry... she'll hear about this." There's also the fact that Agnes herself seems to get more mean-spirited and cruel with every appearance. I know "The Principal and the Pauper" is actually an episode that many deem as a horrible, Skinner-ruining one, but I must say I really like the way Agnes was handled in that episode. She was still mean and dominating, but she did at least show that she cared for her "son" as well.

My ones:

10. Any of the posh ladies in "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield"
9. Gil
8. The Crazy Cat Lady
7. Alex Whitney
6. Cecil Terwilliger
5. Cookie Kwan
4. Duffman (all right, his first appearance was funny, but then...)
3. Titania/Booberella/any busty woman who's just on the show to attract teenage male viewers
2. Greta Wolfcastle

And finally, the dishonourable number one:

1. Any of those damn annoying celebrities who is badly made to look Simpsonic and is then let loose on a hideous rampage of parochial humour which will inevitably date the episode in a year.

Ta-da.

EDIT: I don't really hate Cecil, come to think about it, I'm rather absolutely neutral to him. Who *really* should go in that place is the Hollywood actress (can't remember her name; don't want to) from "A Star Is Born-Again".

Not really, he's just so... enh, pointless. Maybe I'll move him to a lower (higher?) place on the list.

Hmm, tough, but here they are in no particular order....

Whiny, Self-righteous Lisa
A lot of guest star characters... like Cecil, Alex,etc.
Sherri and Terri, except for a few moments during the entire history of the show

...all I can think of for now
Homer eats a little too much Chile to strong pepper and is found with hullicinations amongst other things it speaks with a dog.

She hates Lisa, Marge and Skinner. Let's sacrifice her to our god!


You do have to seperate Seymour from Agnes, when it comes to the view of the Skinners. I dislike Agnes quite a bit myself.

I don't like Cookie Kwan or PC Thug Lisa. Most everybody I like when they're written decently. Heck, I even like Chalmers. :)

Hey, I like Chalmers too, now that I think of it.

As for my least favourite characters, I honestly have no idea. All I know is that Marge and Lisa would be in the very bottom of that list.

Back in my day, we didn't have none of this php or frames or auto-whatsit. I ran this place single-handed doing the HTML on Notepad! And it was better! Everything was subject to my star ratings and if it was crap, I durn said so! And speakin' of crap, these newbies are getting on my nerves! You can have yer Nordlanders and Dawsons- give me a Stephen Boswell script any day of the week!

Well I don't like Marge that much because sometime she always get mad at something like she don't want Homer to have a gun in the house in the episode 5F01,The Cartridge Family. Of course I don't like the episode BABF08, Mansion Family because Marge don't want Homer to have a party in Mr. Burns house and at the end she said she they have everything they needed, leaving Homer upset. In episode 7F02, The Way We Was, you can see Marge slap Homer in the face, and that worser than she slap Artie. And in episode EABF19, The Fat and the Furriest, Marge don't want Homer to use the suit to attack the bear. And there more of it but I wanted to stop right now.
If Simpsons release only in August & December, here the list in the future:
Season 10 will be out on Aug 07, season 11 on Dec 07, season 12 on Aug 08, season 13 on Dec 08, season 14 on Aug 09, season 15 on Dec 09, season 16 on Aug 10, season 17 on Dec 10, & season 18 on Aug 11.
