Top 50 Simpsons Characters Countdown Results

[Stu]

15: Hans Moleman

Everyone, here is Springfield's favorite senior citizen .... or 31-year-old. Regardless of his age, Hans Moleman is likely the most misfortunate character on The Simpsons. No matter where he goes, tragedy follows. Examples of his bad luck are driving off a cliff in a truck transporting the birthplace of Edgar Allen Poe, crashing a sugar truck and nearly crashing into a tree while driving his Gremlin, which blew up anyway. On second thought, maybe he's just bad with cars.

He also caught fire due to the powerful magnifying effect of his glasses, suffered at the hands of Montgomery Burns who drilled into his brain and was executed at a local jail for an undisclosed crime.

Hans spent a brief time as a member of the Simpson family after accidentally being hypnotized into believing he was a part of the clan. Homer was more than happy to have him along, kissing him and exclaiming he was like a peanut.

Moleman held many high-profile jobs, such as hosting "Moleman in the Morning". But his biggest accomplishment may have been his short film for the Springfield Film Festival, "Man hit by football."

He was also during said festival he chanted "Boo-urns."

Random note: Hans Moleman may have spawned from a race of mole people living about three levels beneath the Earth's surface.

14: Hank Scorpio

Hank Scorpio may be the most brilliant, diaboloical, psychotic evil genius the world has ever known. He could also be the most fun and favorite boss a guy ever had.

Scorpio is the owner Globex Corporation in Cypress Creek. He hired Homer and moved the entire family to the seemingly perfect community. Of course, that couldn't be further from the truth, as the family would eventually learn.

What Homer did not know was that behind the scenes, Scorpio was plotting to take over the world. Even more unknown was that Homer helped him do it. As Homer was in the process of turning in his resignation, Scorpio was in the process of fighting off the United States government, using such tools as a vat of acid and a blowtorch. As he was leaving, Homer kicked a live grenade into the battle and likely killed someone.

Of course, Hank tried to get Homer to stick around by inviting him out for a night of bowling. It wasn't enough.

Random note: Hak Scorpio ultimately took over the east coast and gave Homer the Denver Broncos as thanks.

13: Troy McClure

Meet Troy McClure, you may remember him from such films, infomercials and educational videos that the rest of the world never heard of.

McClure is essentially a washed-up actor from the 1970s who ends up in just about everything Springfield watches, including an instructional video on repairing home foundations. Within every appearance, he introduces himself and tells the audience it may remember him from two titles of a similar subject to that of the current performance he is giving. In addition, he hosted The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" and "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase".

He had little interaction with any characters until he married Selma Bouvier. Of course, it all turned out to be a sham and the pair later divorced.

Troy McClure was voiced by Comedian Phil Hartman, who was killed by his wife in 1998. From that point, the Simpsons creators chose to retire Troy McClure rather than find a new voice.

Random note: Troy McClure allegedly has a fish fetish. This trait is largely held responsible for his fall from Hollywood.

On one or two occasions Dan Castellaneta provided Troy's voice, when the famliy would be flipping thru channels and something with Troy would come on briefly.

12: Lionel Hutz

There are traditionally two lawyers who can be spotted running around Springfield's courthouse or offering legal advice to various characters. One is the sly, evil lawyer who often represents Mr. Burns. The other is Lionel Hutz, the ambulance chasing, inexpensive attorney who will buy you a pizza if he doesn't win your case.

He is also very inexpensive and, therefore, regularly serves as the Simpsons legal counsel. All this despite being caught rummaging through a dumpster and offering to babysit Bart and Lisa for a few dollars, a couple popsicles and an old birdcage. He also drank alcohol in the morning and offered to sell Principal Skinner an Orange Julius right in front of them.

Hutz has lost the vast majority of his court cases. The few that he actually won include Homer's lawsuit against the Frying Dutchman for false advertising, Bart's lawsuit against Krusty the Klown for a jagged-edged "O" in a box of cereal and Chester J. Lampwick's lawsuit against Roger Myers Jr. over the creation of Itchy and Scratchy.

Lionel Hutz was also voiced by Phil Hartman and is therefore retired.

Random note: Although not officially shown in any episode, Lionel Hutz at some point married and divorced Selma Bouvier.

[forgottensinpwf]

Hutz's biggest nightmare is a world without Lawyers, where people live in harmony, and peace.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Believes Clarance Darrow was the black guy on the Mod Squad.

[forgottensinpwf]

he also Changed his name to Miguel Sanchez, and Dr. Nguyen Van Phuoc once.

and he kinda ran over Judge Snyder's Dog. well, replace the word "Kinda" with "repeatedy", and the word "dog" with "son".

11: Ralph Wiggum

When all is said and done and the award for least likely to succeed is given out, the most likely winner will be none other than Ralph Wiggum.

He was initially portrayed as a typical loser second grader who ate his paste and was constantly made fun of. Ralph often, and continues, to give out one-liners, such as:

and

His defining moment came one Valentines Day when he was given a card from Lisa Simpson, and subsequently developed a crush on her. Of course, she rejected his advances and caused the entire world to see his heart break. It was during this entire period that the world learned two things about Ralph:

1: He was actually the son of Chief Clancy Wiggum ( despite being referred to as Wiggum at Kamp Krusty).

2: He's a great actor.

Despite all this, it appears Ralph suffers a severe learning and social disability and has such troubling characteristics as pretending he's a dog and that an evil leprechaun tells him what to do. He is also unclear as to exactly what a diorama and battle are.

In the end, it seems like all Ralph really needs is a friend. It's whenever Bart or Lisa actually show faith in him that Ralph truly shines.

Of course, he still has that leprechaun hanging onto his shoulder.

Random note: One of his finest academic moment came when he "beat the smart kids" in a diorama competition, albeit with nothing more than Star Wars action figures. Afterwards, he bent his Wookie.

[Stu]

Okay folks, that's all we're getting for tonight. All we have left are the Top 10, and I won't be giving any hints. They will appear over the next couple days on a gradual basis, rather than in groups of five.

So who's left? Who could it possibly be? Wouldn't you like to know? Because if you don't, then that leaves me with plenty of free time.

[forgottensinpwf]

he Bent his Wookie.

He once saw Snagglepuss outside of the school. apparently he had to go to the bathroom.

Ralph is in the 2nd grade...except for one shot when he appears in the 4th grade eating paste.

- Maggie (This is definitely the oddball, but she's had so many great moments)
- Ned Flanders
- Smithers
- Sideshow Bob

SERIOUSLY, THE YESSSSS GUY?!!!?! HOW THE HELL DID HE DO BETTER THAN MARGE?!

Other than that, here's a few guys who I don't think are in the top 10 but should've been in the top 50 which would've personally at least replaced the YESSS guy and Uter...

- Otto
- "Diamond" Joe Quimby
- Willy
- Sideshow Mel
- Chief Wiggum
- Disco Stu

EDIT: Also, Disco Stu (The one back from vacation), you think you can put a simple list detailing who's on here so far in the original post?

[Kenny Brockelstein]

Surely Clancy Wiggum is in the top ten. The guy is comedy gold...



"Uh, no, you got the wrong number. This is 9-1... 2."
