Who is your favourite *major* Simpsons character?

Professor Frink is surely more major than some of these?

But I vote Bart.

Lenny.

Looking at that list, The Simpsons doesn't really have too many compelling female characters, does it?

I'm torn between Lisa and Nelson.

I know it's kinda hard to differentiate between major and minor characters in The Simpsons, but we can do a minor character poll after this one, if people want that.

I don't think I've ever seen a Kent Brockman appearance I didn't like, he's getting my vote.

WTF? Rod & Todd Flanders are 'one' character?

I've never noted too many differences between the two, I didn't think there was a point in separating them.

I guess Patty and Selma are often like that too, but as the show has progressed they've at least been given distinctive stories of their own.

HOMER!

comic book guy's function isn't to provide short gags?

I'm not the biggest Simpsons buff in the world, so I haven't seen every episode, but apparently he's had episode (sub)plots devoted to him.

and Fat Tony hasn't?!?!?!

he supplied rats milk to the school! RATS MILK!!! ARRRGH

Well yeah, I guess Fat Tony could've been included to this poll for being a semi-regular character. Like I said, I didn't have any clear-cut rule on who to include.

Moe

I'm going to marry Lisa.

Kahnnie can be my piece on the side.

And now, I will do what any reasonable person who has just admitted he wants a threeway with preadolescent cartoon characters should do, which is throw myself from the roof of this building.

tie between moe & krusty

voted troy mclure

moe is a good one tho

nelson.

THE HAUS ALWAYS WINS

milhouse.

I didn't know Milhouse had so many fans.

Moe is probably the most reliably hilarious guy here, especially when he's trying to off himself.

God I love Wiggum a hell of a lot too tho.

forgot about wiggum.... 3-way tie

i <3 dr nick

RIP big guy

Need a distinction between dumb-as-shit Homer and regular guy Homer

Lionel Hutz aka Miguel Sanchez.

I wish a slow and painful death upon all who vote for Ralph (well, ralph post season 8 or so)

homer is the obvious answer. ralph should win some fan votes.

What happened to Ralph after season 8?

Well, he was funny when he was the normal, kind of slow kid. When the simposons started going bad (starting from season 7 and especially come season 12 or so) he became a caricature of himself to extents which were pitiful, and so many of the less intelligent people I knew just loved it. Ralph hasn't said anything remotely funny since this (of course iin classic era simpsons he has many a good moment)

Interesting fact, Ralph wasn't Chief Wiggum's son until the valentines day episode (where the writers just decided to make him his kid from then on)

After much deliberation I went for Troy McClure (if I could vote for him AND Lionel Hutz, even better).

My fave character however, is Snake, who is as minor as some other characters in this list, but oh well.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

no one is doing the bartman

Rod and Todd Flanders :-((((((((

"daddy, are you going to jail?"

WHO ARE THE SIX LOSERS WHO VOTED FOR LISA SIMPSON?

Me.

Besides Homer, she's easily the most complex and sympathetic character in the series.

Bart = 1.
My solitary vote made a difference.

Besides Homer, she's easily the most complex and sympathetic character in the series.

^^^

Lisa haters suck. I think I voted for Burns or Milhouse, though.

Homer, complex and sympathetic? Gaaaaaaahhhh.

lenny deserved more than one vote (oh if only i'd voted)

Homer is a douche. A colossal douche. Lazy and arrogant. Selfish and ignorant. So ignorant that he is thoroughly ignorant of his own ignorance. So selfish that his love for his family is only ever expressed as the realisation that he would be lost without them. He rarely means well and never tries hard.

i forgot to vote in this poll or i def would've voted for principal skinner -- BY FAR the most "complex and sympathetic" character, as well as one of the funniest.
