Yeah, Flanders was at the top of my list. The preacher too...

Actually, that was another Indian convenience-store clerk, in the episode where they used Flanders's beach house. And it's *Maude* Flanders.
I'm too tired to be tactful.
Too-tired-tactful. Great. Even when I'm not trying I'm alliterative.

any of Phil Hartman's characters.

Especially Lionel Hutz.

I miss phil Hartman

I really do think the simpson's are hurting partly because his characters are gone.

I always liked the Comic store clerk, perhaps because there was always someone just like him working at the comic store when I was a kid.

Cruddy · June 26, 2003, 04:30

Well, they are all very, very good characters.

For some reason, Krusty is my favouite. Maybe it's his blatant 2 faced hypocrisy.

BustaMike · June 26, 2003, 05:18

Seriously... you left out Duff Man! That poll is bunk.

"but you said if I had sex with you I wouldn't have to touch the drunks..."

"Duff Man says a lot of things baby! Oh, yeah!"

FrustratedPoet · June 26, 2003, 05:37

This should have been a multi-choice poll so I could vote for all of them.

Honestly, the reason why The Simpsons is the best TV comedy show ever is because, unlike other great series like Seinfeld, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers (and others) it doesn't just have 4-6 great characters: it has 25-30! Awesome!

How how how how how how how how HOW did you not put Dr. Nick on that poll????!!???

Quote:

"Don't worry, you won't feel a thing....until I jam this down your throat!"

"The most rewarding part was when he gave me the money"

"Just look at these x-rays. You see that dark spot there? Whiplash. And this smudge here that looks like my fingerprint...no, that's trauma!"

"The coroner, I'm so sick of that guy."

"The knee bone's connected to the...something. The something's connected to the...red thing. The red thing's connected to my...wrist watch. Uh oh."

Man: "Among the 160 gravest charges are: performing major operations with a knife and fork from a seafood restaraunt."
Dr. Nick: "But I cleaned them with my napkin."
Man: "Misuse of cadavers."
Dr. Nick: "I get here earlier if I use the carpool lane."

"Don't worry....it's IN-flammable!"

and of course the companion quote

"What kind of a country is it where flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?"

The accent's great too...it makes the character.

Leonard Nimoy!

Good evening, I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies, so in the end, isn't that the truth? The answer is "no."

Ecthy · June 26, 2003, 07:10

Dr Nick has an accent in the original? what kind of accent is it?

Ecthy · June 26, 2003, 07:12

And where's that comic book store guy

"Er... you like Star Trek?"

Buck Birdseed · June 26, 2003, 07:29

Damn, I wanted The Sea Captain but you excluded him. Troy McClure would be my off-list choice, then, with Smithers or Dr. Hibbert my on-list one.

Ecthy · June 26, 2003, 07:30

the sea captain rules, harrrrr...

FrustratedPoet · June 26, 2003, 07:35

Favourite Sea Captain quote:
*looks mournful* "Harrrr.... I don't know what I'm doing"

I use that one a lot in real life (it crops up kinda regularly with me

), with the accent and everything. The people who don't recognise the reference immediately lose all my respect.

now everytime i hear haaarrr i think of that cybersex log. HAARRRR

It's a highly exagerrated, generic European accent.

Which one are those ?

Guynemer · June 26, 2003, 09:21

I mentioned in the opening post that I'm not considering the more tertiary characters, as funny as they are--Dr. Nick, Troy McClure, Duffman, Cletus.

Unfortunately, there are only so many poll options... if I had it to do over again, I'd combine Patti & Selma, and Itchy & Scratchy, making room for Willie and a Lenny & Carl option.

Ecthy · June 26, 2003, 09:23

Lenny and Carl rule

Boris Godunov · June 26, 2003, 09:52

Cletus the slack-jawed yokel!

And the Professor guy, too!

And Nelson! Ha-ha!

Makeo · June 26, 2003, 10:13

i have tra-iangulated the singal so as to express it as a vector of my hand.

Boourns for not having them on the list.

"One of them American robot cars."

"Hey everybody, this is Ned Flanders, my friend!!!
What'd he say?
I don't know, something about being gay."

"Nah, pigs tend to chew. I'd say he eats more like a duck."

Yeah. He has the best ones for just dropping in randomly.

"Yarrr... two glass eyes"

And Andy is right. Where is the comic store guy? He's amazing.

Ooh, pardon me, "Santos"- if that is your real name -Bart Simpson- but your phony credit card is not good here. Now make like my pants and split.

(Bart) I wanna buy a copy of Bonestorm, here's 99 cents.
(Comic Store Guy) hmm...allow me to summarize the proposed transaction. You wish to purchase Bonestorm for 99 cents, net profit to me -$59. Oh, oh, please take my $59, I don't want it, it's yours. Uh, uh, uh , as you are unfamiliar with sarcasm, I shall close the register at this point

(Comic Book Guy) Tell me, how do you feel about 45 year old virgins who live with their parents. (Nerdy women) Comb the Sweetarts out of your beard and your on. (Comic Book Guy) Don't try to change me.

Ohhh... loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

Ecthy · June 26, 2003, 10:55

a hundred tacos for a hundred dollars... that should suffice for the Star Trek marathon...

"Maybe if you comb the sweet tarts out of your beard."
