Whois your favourite *minor* Simpsons character?

I like Snake. And Krusty. And Moe. And Chief Wiggum. And Ralph.

For minor minor characters (ie, characters that usually don't say more than a sentence or so any given time they are on), Disco Stu.

I loved Senor Ding-Dong

Lenny is indeed a genius especially when he got plastic surgery

but my favourite of the most minor characters has to be rubbish salesman Gil, he's my kinda guy.

The mean purple-haired twins (names forgot), and the fat german foreign exchange student. Mrs Krabappel (pr.KraBOPPle). The Italian waiter who can always be heard insulting the customers in the kitchen. Dr Zweig (?), the analyst who helps Marge get over her fear of flying.

Obviously Hans Moleman of radioshow "Moleman in the Morning". The cowboy salesman who sells the Simpsons their RV. Lunchlady Doris.

Or maybe Ralph- "When I grow up I'm going to Bovine University"

and McBain - "Ice to see you"

Nobody's mentioned Android's Dungeon Guy. Too close for comfort, chaps?

no, sorry don't know what you mean...

The episode where fat comic book guy has a heart attack is very very good.

'Last night I saw Man Without A Face and didn't realise he had a problem!' :)

I guess Ned Flanders isn't minor enough for this, huh?

To mutate slightly, who is the best guest voice? My dibs are for Nimoy in Marge vs The Monorail.

James Woods was a great guest, as was Christopher Walken when reading to the kids and scaring the bejeezus out of them.

"I want fatty"

Yes, I watch a hella lot of dem Simpsoids.

Arnie Pie, the helicopter newsman, just for the 'Arnie in the sky' joke.

And mad sea-farer Captain McCallister has provided some classic lines along the way - "A beast more stomach than man".

I also quite like the recurring sarcastic everyman "voice", for lack of a better term, used, in part, as such:

"Yup, here's your problem. Someone set this thing set to 'Evil'." "Whoa, whoa, fat, sarcastic Star Trek fan, you must be a devil with the ladies." "He [Milhouse] went to his grandma's place while we're spraying for potato bugs."

I need a life.

that fat star trek fan quote is one of my all time favourites, that and the one in Lisa learns to tap where the Milhouse-a-like gets rejected in the film Tango del Muerte and walks off muttering "ai, off home to sugar my own churro again"

I like talking about the Simpsons more than I like talking about anything else, as you can probably tell.

However, it has reminded me of the wonderful and tragic one-off appearance of Homer's lookalike Guy Incognito, which was hilarious.

Re guest voices: Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde-Pierce in "Brother From Another Series" were brilliant.

I DONT KNOW KENT. I DONT KNOW.

He always seems so weary and clapped out, and his voice is just perfect. His sigh is the sound of having to do things.

Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't touch
it, but I predict that within 100 years, computers will
be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive
that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.

KB: Without knowing exactly what the situation is, would you say it's time for people to crack open each other's skulls and feast on the goo that flows forth?

AGWCAMH: Yes I would, Kent.

"oooh, it's that new show about the policeman who solves crimes in his spare time!"

so Frinky wins that battle - the colours, children!

(no other place to post it & it was bouncing around in my skull today.)

and nelson, i remember when he saw himself in mirror "ha ha!" "awww, that really hurt, no wonder nobody's going to my birthday party"

That was the same one as "Oh my eyes! The goggles do nothing."

I like the woman in the business suit who always acts as the kind and vacuous face of corporate capitalism. her lines are alwyas well-written. she is the cell phone representative in the episode where Homer destroys priceless artifacts and must put a cell phone tower in Lisa's room, and she is also a market researcher in the episode where a toy company (?) takes over Springfield Elementary.

Is this the woman who appeared in a semi-recent (last 4 years) episode where Marge calls her out on having had several jobs in Springfield, and she says something along the lines of she's an alcoholic and a compulsive liar… soooo good.

Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure are sadly missed.

The worst is the "Yessss" guy who's popped up in recent years. What's the point of him?

he's another one like disco stu that had an awesome first appearance w/one great joke and the writers decided to run the joke into the ground over and over again

The "Yes" guy is based on Frank Nelson, who was a recurring minor character on a few older shows, like The Jack Benny Program.

FRINK FRINK FRINK FRINK

(Krusty's) sigh is the sound of having to do things.

Hahah this is so freakin true.

And I must give big props to my favourite Simpsons character, Snake. He's the best. What's his odd accent supposed to be?

"oh no! BETA!"

Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the answer.

Snake went to Middlebury.

Mr. Snrub, of course. But he was Mr. Burns in disguise, so he probably doesn't count. So I'll go with boring old Comic Book Guy.

No one is gay for Moleman

Apparently I am kind of obsessed with Lindsey Naegle. I found the line I was trying to remember upthread:

“We’ve met you many times, Ms. Naegle; why do you keep switching jobs?” To which Lindsey flatly replies, “I’m a sexual predator.”

Ralph Wiggum, and his dad

cookie kwan has her moments. what's with the professional women in this show always being portrayed as desperadoes? (cf lindsey nagle)

ART IMITATES LIFE

Ha, Trayce -- Snake's accent is just a weird combination of 80% surfer dude and 20% something I can't precisely describe beyond "stentorian Brit storyteller"

i thought it was ivy league clenched-jaw haughtiness + cali surfer.

Yeah thats why I find it odd! I did get the surfer thing, but that overlay of I dunno what.. Harvard fratboy or something? is what had me curious.
