Title: Most underrated or favorite Simpsons character?
Post by: os89 on July 29, 2020, 07:19:56 AM
Who's yours? I felt this might be a fun, lighthearted thread. One that shouldn't lead to arguments or the need for immediate follow up responses.

No rules. Could be main characters, side ones, animals, mascots, or one offs. Anything goes.

Id have to say, in no order:

-Maggie
-Lou
-Poochie
-Moleman

Those are some of my favorites that I feel are all underrated in their own little way.

Who are your personal favorites, or just underrated characters in your opinion? There are so many good ones.

The fact that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson actually voiced them makes it all the sweeter.

What a wonderful idea for a thread!

Chief Wiggum is consistently great, although his incompetent cop shtick gets old in the later years.

Mark Hammill as himself is one of my favorite guest appearances.

I agree with the guy above, all of Phil Hartman's characters were great. Lionel Hutz always gets me. I love the episode when he is babysitting the kids, and it cuts to a shot of him burning all of his stuff in the fireplace. Lisa asks, "Mr. Hutz, why are you burning your stuff?" And he replies, "The man you know as Lionel Hutz is no more. Say hello to Miguel Sanchez!"  ;D  ;D ;D

I could go on an on so I'll stop.

I feel the same about Drederick Tatum.

Interviewer #1: Champ, do you feel remorse for your crime?

Drederick Tatum: Oh, yes. Believe me, my god, if I could turn back the clock on my mother's stair-pushing, I would certainly, reconsider it.

Interviewer #2: Drederick, ah, what do you think of Homer Simpson?

Drederick Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Interviewer #3: Uh, you know, they do have a mother, Champ?

Drederick Tatum: Yes, but I would imagine that she would die of grief.

Been charging through a full series rewatch, seasons 2-9 are truly pinnacle television. I think today it's really easy to underestimate the impact that the Simpsons has had on the modern comedy zeitgeist, but watching back you can see a lot of the absurdist humor that became more prevalent into the 2000's and on.

The Van Houten's are the favorite, but I always enjoy a good Jasper/Frostillicus appearance.

The Dredrick Tatum interview is hilarious.

What are everyone's favorite Sideshow Bob episodes? Cape Feare is a classic but I also love "reformed" Bob in Brother From Another Series. "Don't go in there! That room's full of hydroelectricity!" And Day of the Jackanapes has great lines. "Ah, kettle chips. The perfect snack... FOR REVENGE."

I don’t know if Barney is underrated but when Stampy reaches into the tar pit to save Homer and pulls out Barney who was already in there for some unexplained reason is one of my favorite Simpsons gags.

Thanks! Ironically I had it changed a day before this thread was made haha.

On a related note, I've always been stoked on how many users on SLAP have Simpsons references for their usernames and/or avatars. Obviously Armin and the OP, but then there was Hercules Rockefeller, Moe Syszlak, and SFB's avatar of Kirk Van Houten playing video poker in his underwear while eating Chintzy Pop. "Someday I'll hear that winning music"  ;D ;D ;D

I also love Johnny Tightlips. What about his counterpart, Frankie The Squealer?
"Okay it's me! I can't help it, I just love squealin'. It makes me feel big!"

Or in TOH XIV, when Homer kills Death and no one can die for a short bit. Fat Tony, Legs and Louie are shooting Frankie:
Fat Tony: "Frankie The Squealer, why won't you die?"
Frankie: "I swear, I'd tell ya if I knew!"

I feel the same about Drederick Tatum.

Interviewer #1: Champ, do you feel remorse for your crime?

Drederick Tatum: Oh, yes. Believe me, my god, if I could turn back the clock on my mother's stair-pushing, I would certainly, reconsider it.

Interviewer #2: Drederick, ah, what do you think of Homer Simpson?

Drederick Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Interviewer #3: Uh, you know, they do have a mother, Champ?

Drederick Tatum: Yes, but I would imagine that she would die of grief.

I stopped buying the DVDs after season 15. I think that the earlier seasons have more depth to their stories and humor and thus hold up better to rewatching, but I agree that up to about 15 and 16, most episodes are still pretty good, just not "classics".

Non-sequitur, but here is (maybe) my favorite early era Homer scene.

Hahaha, from Kent's question to "Uhh, my director is telling me not to talk you anymore" - gold. And I love that Homer scream sample - you'll notice that exact sample used pretty frequently in the early seasons, which is hilarious. They knew how good that exact scream was and pasted into a bunch of scenes, hahaha.

It’s definitely good longer than most claim. But even a few years ago, after dropping off from watching it, I caught some of the episodes from the 20s seasons when FXX was doing one of their “every single episode” marathons and thought they were really good. Maybe not classic level but still well above what a lot of other shows were / are doing.

They still average solid viewership in today’s TV market (as much as that has changed throughout their run) so they must be doing something right.

That just sounds lazy and an excuse if they suck. It's like procrastinating on a test and barely passing or at most getting a half decent grade.

You must have missed this whole entire premise of this thread, or can’t read, you come in talking about an entirely different show.
 
Again, make another thread. Fuck outta this one if you don’t like the Simpsons that much.

Yeah Benz it doesn't seem you noticed, but we're all having a moment here. You can dig south park - that's fine. But kindly leave us to our fun. Thanks.

New feelings brewing in Duffman.
Oh how could I forget about Duffman!

"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem!"
"Duffman can't breathe! Oh no!"

And from the bartender contest:
Duffman: Duff beer is brewed from hops, barley, and sparkling clear mountain...
Titania: Goat!
Duffman: Close enough! (Duffman music plays)

From that same episode: Moe's old bartending professor who he reconnects with is in one of my favorite singular Simpsons scenes of all-time.
https://youtu.be/cu9FH-auKBc
It's so bizarre and random in multiple ways. I love it.

Steamed Hams is also in this episode! The Pulp Fiction parody is gold!

Yessss! What a classic.

Chalmers: Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?!

Skinner: Yes.

Chalmers: ... May I see it?
I am most likely not the only one in this thread who has seen a staggering amount of parodies, memes, and reappropriations of Steamed Hams. Some of my favorites:

I'm glad to hear it! Speaking of Simpsons memes, do you follow any Simpsons-related groups or pages on FB or IG? If not, may I suggest Simpsons Bortposting on FB?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/simpsonsbortposting/?ref=share

Edit: here's a good example of the magic that occurs in Bortposting: https://www.facebook.com/groups/simpsonsbortposting/permalink/1529783813873428/

I stopped buying the DVDs after season 15. I think that the earlier seasons have more depth to their stories and humor and thus hold up better to rewatching, but I agree that up to about 15 and 16, most episodes are still pretty good, just not "classics".

Edit: Also, the clip you posted is great. Albert Brooks is probably the most underrated recurring guest voice actor on the show

"I live above a bowling alley, and below a bowling alley..."

You might already know this but Swartzwelder wrote that episode as a response to people idolizing Homer.
And speaking of foils and DVD commentaries, there's an episode commentary where one of the writers (I believe Matt Selman) says that Superintendent Chalmers is his favorite character because he's the reoccurring character living closest to reality, and spends most of his screen time pointing out the absurdity of the world around him

Lurper, there's some random discolorations in the early seasons. Season 4 is a little late for it tho, so maybe just an animation glitch?

In season 1 there's some scenes where both of Chief Wiggum's underling cops (I'm forgetting their names) are yellow - and the earliest version of Smithers being brown.

^ Tux that's so good! I love it - perfect addition. No rules here, only shaloms. The homeric touch (hilarious to talk about homeric lyrics, cause I'm a dorky Greek and of course Homeric Lyricism is a thing haha) to his diddies is classic. Especially when he does a sad-version refrain, like at the end of that video clip. Golden.

Speaking of Simpsons songs,

https://youtu.be/sftm9tQLfzc

when Apu hits that opening line "I am just a simple paper boyyy", I always lose my shit. That esoteric sounding suspended note he sings on the final line "doooooo" also hits the spot every time, hahaha.

Additionally, from season 5, Apu's sad-version refrain of Who Needs The Kwik-E Mart is hilarious. On the rooftop with those beautiful trademark-Simpsons evening colors around him, and his posture looking like a wolf baying at the moon - who needs the Kwik-E Mart? "I doooooooooooo!" Man they had some blockbuster numbers, hahaha.

Mr. Bergstrom. Even though he's a substitute teacher, I feel like he represented the best teacher we all encountered in school. Mine was Mr. Perrotta for AP psychology. All the other teachers were phoning it in compared to him. Luckily, thanks to facebook, we can still converse.

Sorry for the post spamming everyone, but I haven't seen this thread for a few days and needed to catch up.
The TOH where they disguise themselves as Bob Dole and Clinton is one of my favorite TOH shorts. Every joke is hilarious. To list a few:
-(Clinton, while he & his bed are being abducted from the White House): "Wha? Is it noon already?"

-At a political rally "When I was a boy, I dreamed of being a baseball"

-Homer kicking the small bush that's "disguising" the huge spaceship

-Ross Perot punching through his straw hat  ;D ;D ;D

-And the classic, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos"

You're all amazing. This is undoubtedly my favorite thread on SLAP ever.

The 2014 treehouse of horror might be one of my favorite of the newer crop. The clockwork orange parody, and when they get haunted by their old 1989 original selves are pretty good. Homer falls in love with old marge, and then present marge kills herself to be a ghost too, by the end the whole family are floating around I think haha

Today's one-off goes to the One & Only... Krunchy the Klown!

https://youtu.be/l5C2woQLgto

*marching in place* We want Krunchy! We want Krunchy!

IMO this is the all time great season opener. Starting season 4 with a unique bang. Such a hilarious and tangible storyline - and the Lord of the Flies-esque revolution sequence that follows the appearance of Krunchy... now that is a sequence I'll never forget. Comedy climax. From Bart's paramilitary TV appearance with the captive Kent Brockman, to Homer suddenly regaining stress weight and losing his regrown hair while watching the broadcast - fucking gold.

Title: Re: Most underrated or favorite Simpsons character?
Post by: Ms. Tamzarian on August 27, 2020, 09:00:37 AM
Did anyone watch the Simpsons movie in the theater?

Yes! Let's see, that was 2007 so I was still in high school. I remember very well going with my dad to see the movie - it was really a great experience, and remains a great memory with him.

I used to get flamed for liking the Simpsons as a kid - I'm the youngest, so my older siblings would tear me apart for whatever I liked (which I guess was pretty easy as it was primarily The Simpsons and Linkin Park, hahaha). But to see the feature film with my pops all those years later felt like family closure. Like when you grow up and can have a laugh about being a stupid teenager with your parents - that type of thing.

We laughed our asses off. I have grown to prefer the early-Simpsons humor like many in this thread, but that movie will always have a special place for me - if only because of getting to see it in theaters with my dad ;D
Title: Re: Most underrated or favorite Simpsons character?

That sounds like such a wholesome memory. I'm almost tempted to out my collection of simpsons stuff. I've got a weird collection.
Title: Re: Most underrated or favorite Simpsons character?
Post by: rocklobster on August 27, 2020, 10:40:10 AM
That's a great story @Armin Tamzarian. My dad was a workaholic who spent his weekdays working will 11am in the office and his weekends working till 7pm in the office. Probably because he wasn't much of a family man and found comfort in his office. Despite this he doted on me (the youngest of 3) the most, he expressed his love for us through short 1-on-1 shopping trips to the mall. But my favorite memory with him was dragging him to watch the shitty Street Fighter movie with my brother. I thought he would like it since it was an action flick and he loved action stars like Jean Claude Van Dam, Steven Segull, Arnold and Stallone. He probably thaught the movie was alright but was pissed when I stepped in dog shit after the movie and tried to get into his brand new company Mercedes. Made me put the shoes in bag and ride bare foot home.

Back to the Simpsons movie - watched it in the cinema with my brother, caught a morning show before our uni lectures. It was alright, didn't have the same wit of the original series with too much slap stick, but a decent family outing.
Title: Re: Most underrated or favorite Simpsons character?
Post by: Ms. Tamzarian on August 27, 2020, 02:10:17 PM
Layzie, I would be both your enthusiastic audience and overeager customer if you ever decided to unleash the trove, hahaha.

Rocklobster that rules! Hahaha, the bagged shoes. Sometimes the weirdest memories with our old mans turn into precious moments in hindsight - I love throwback cinema visit stories with family too. Going to the movie theater for the first time in the 90s with my pops changed my life - the awe of the bright proscenium screen in a pitch-black room... and naturally, the first scene was the Millennium Falcon loudly gliding into view ;D I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, but god dam what a powerful first cinema experience for a kid.

But yeah, I can't say I'd ever re-watch the Simpsons Movie for the same reason - it lacks that classic slapstick! I never thought of attaching the phrase 'slapstick' to the original Simpsons seasons, but that's perfect!

Who else almost has every episode in some shape or form? I started with taping episodes on VHS to collecting the DVD seasons, but thanks to the internet, I have an almost complete collection up to the most current season.

I'm one of those weirdos that refuses to watch anything past the like 9th and 10th season. Once I get there I just start back up with season 1. Those seasons in particular were the ones I grew up watching as a kid and it just gives me such crazy nostalgia and joy. I even got my kids into them. I had them all on dvd when they Target would sell the box sets. Im pretty sure I still have them somewhere in storage.

I have the DVDs seasons 1-16 or 17. Those last seasons are roughly around the time I fell off of watching them brand-new, and just don't have the heart to watch the newer stuff. I also admit that I haven't given it a fair shot. We have Disney+ now, so maybe that will be the next binge-watch.

Friedbread, that book looks like it owns! I've never read it, but I am currently feeling very bereft of the wisdom it would've provided me ;D

Today's scene goes to the downfall of Unky Homer, as broadcast by one of my favorite underdog characters, Arnie Pie (In The Sky)

https://youtu.be/PzRww6JURyE

only just realised recently the humour of the segment being called 'arnie in the sky', his full name is arnie pie which would make the obvious choice pie in the sky but they couldnt see it

Cool! Glad you liked them. It’s a fun book. 2 pages for most episodes. Little blurbs about each minor characters too.

Sure, most of the stuff we all know, but there are a few funny things I definitely missed.

Wonder why they went with that color for Smithers' skin

Edit from Wikipedia:
Quote
Smithers made his first appearance in "Homer's Odyssey", which was the third episode of the first season, although he can be heard over a speaker in The Simpsons series premiere "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".[22] In his first visual appearance in "Homer's Odyssey", Smithers was mistakenly animated with the wrong color and was made darker than most characters by Gyorgyi Peluce, the color stylist. David Silverman has claimed that Smithers was always intended to be "Mr Burns' white sycophant",[23] and the staff thought it "would be a bad idea to have a black subservient character" and so switched him to his intended color for his next episode.[16][3] Silverman retconned this error by saying that Smithers had a tan from a recent holiday in the Caribbean.[23] The first appearance of a yellow Smithers was "There's No Disgrace Like Home", the fourth episode of the first season.

I adore the season 1 debut of Bob, in the Krusty Gets Busted episode. The courthouse steps scene after the trial concludes always cracks me up :)

Slightly tangential, speaking of Kelsey Grammer, I always loved this random Tim and Eric one-off:

Most underrated guest star? I love the Treehouse Of Horror with Lucy Lawless. So many great lines from her (and Comic Book Guy).

"Must... remove... my breast plate!"
(All of the convention-goers begin snapping pictures)
"Maybe later."

Her deception to get Comic Book Guy's guard down:
"Xena... needs... xex."

And I love the joke at the end:
"Wait a minute, Xena can't fly!"
"I told you, I'm not Xena. I'm Lucy Lawless."
"Oh."

Hey Shalomies :)

The Mr. Bergstrom episode came on tonight - I was ecstatic! That is easily my favorite "feel good" episode.

Tonight I guess I was just ready for a good cry though. When Lisa opened his farewell note, I had one of those moments.

What a fantastically sympathetic episode for all the nerd-types and weirdos in the world.

So, for tonight's tribute I add my favorite FUNNY scene from the Mr. Bergstrom extravaganza:

The "Talent Scene" starting at 2:26 ;D

I just watched this episode tonight, too! My girlfriend loved it. My favorite funny & feel-good scene is when  Homer is pretending to be a baboon in order to cheer up Lisa. And then there's Bart's rally cry: "More asbestos, more asbestos, more asbestos..."

I know you didn't intend this, but I just had a good laugh imagining the scenario in which Ned names his kids AND wife ;D

Speaking of Ned and Maude, I've been thinking about one of my all-time favorite one liners (from the Bark Of Darkness Ep.):

"Oh that's right, I was at Bible Camp. I was learning how to be more judgmental."

Edit: Layzie, hearing Bart say Maude and God back to back here is extra funny after reading about your revelation!

Guess Smithers wanted to be the only gay in the nuclear plant.

Another good 1-off character, John one of the few openly gay characters in Springfield. The was critically acclaimed for it's positive portrayal of gay themes.

Holy crap, so many great additions since I last popped in. Rocklobster I can't believe we'd all forgotten about Karl until now! What a fantastic episode, gonna have to re-watch that tonight.

Tonight the "Many Sided Story" episode about Linguo and Homer's thumb etc. came on TV, watching with my pops. He's not a Simpsons fan per se, but that episode has a "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" essence to it that had him chuckling heartily ;D I love seeing my old man get a good laugh

I can't believe I didn't see this thread until now ate the whole thing.

I consider The Simpsons one of the building blocks of my personality, and have probably watched more hours of it than anything else (seasons 2-9ish).

Hank Scorpio is a real one
Frank Grimes
The Kalkalash vendor
The sleezy/sarcastic guy
The vendor who sells Homer the monkey paw

As far as underrated, maybe Lyle Lanley. The Simpsons has a knack for sleezy characters.

“A nice, cool glass of turnip juice.”


Not so much a single character but I often describe people as the Shelbyville version of ______. As in “that guy looks like Shelbyville Paul Newman” or something to that effect.

This became Twilight Zone like when my friend and I had an altercation with two guys who were better looking versions of ourselves and I had to admit they were our Springfield versions.

I just guessed about the budget because it's all over the place in the episode. Some frames have very janky movement for Lisa and Bart, but Ms Botz look really fluid.

First time I've watch this episode, have yet to watch stuff before season 4, I believe.

I feel like Season 4 has a lot of episodes that aren't regarded as classics as much as from Season 2 or 3 or 5, but there's a lot of gold. Like off the top of my head, I don't think of Itchy & Scratchy Movie as a classic episode, but it has a lot of great gags and is meaningful at the same time. I love when Homer tells the story about how he held his breath as a kid until he got a baseball glove.

If this were a skate video focus group -
Focus Group Guy : [after showing the skaters the newest video on Thrasher]  Okay, how many of skaters would like aging pros to skate regular spots, film lifestyle bits and release laidback parts like the ones you and your homies do every day?

[the skaters cheer]

Focus Group Guy : And who would like to see them do just the opposite, going to far off locations, skating some of the roughest spots, risking life & limb and filming the biggest bangers.

[the skaters cheer again]

Focus Group Guy : So you want aging pros to release laidback video parts where they are having fun but filled with off-the-wall clips that put their long-term health at risk?

[the skaters all chat at once about it being a great idea]

Sorry for taking so long to answer. I have read The Time Machine Did It. It was very Swartzwelder-y in that some of the jokes were great, some I didn't get at all, and some I had to read five times until I got it and then I laughed a lot

Some love for Springfield's only Scotsman
Bonjourrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you cheese eating surrender monkeys!


Willy is SOOOOOOO underrated.

Skinner: (to Bart) ... There's no such thing as Scotchtober fest!

Willy: Ya Uuuuuused me Skinner,ya uuuused me!

And even better, before encountering Sherry Bobbins in the park, Willy is doing a one man band rendition of She's A Maniac that ends with him dumping a bucket of water on his head and saying: ahhh that's the stuff!

It is totally insane

Love this thread! My favs are Barney, Otto and any Phil Hartman voiced characters. I still have my old Mattels from 1990 and a few randoms from Burger King I think it was. Have all the accessories like the slingshot, nuclear power plant gear, and voice bubbles but they are in a bag for safe keeping (https://i.ibb.co/58ZK1fV/762-B1-BA3-CE70-4927-9-DA5-C5-BCFA8-FE8-E2.jpg) (https://ibb.co/58ZK1fV)

I can't believe I didn't see this thread until now ate the whole thing.

I consider The Simpsons one of the building blocks of my personality, and have probably watched more hours of it than anything else (seasons 2-9ish).

Hank Scorpio is a real one
Frank Grimes
The Kalkalash vendor
The sleezy/sarcastic guy
The vendor who sells Homer the monkey paw

As far as underrated, maybe Lyle Lanley. The Simpsons has a knack for sleezy characters.

I have some other stuff around the house

My girl painted me the boat. Our friend drew us and our cat as characters.

Got these cross stitches a few years back.

Decided this shirt was worth 1.5 hours of driving and $8. Some vintage 90's gear.

The Kalkalash vendor is such a good catch

I used to lose my shit back in junior high when my friend would imitate the large man in a tiny car Nelson laughs at in the “22 stories about Springfield” ep


Same! This is the only automobile I could afford

I'm watching Bart The Fink right now and was reminded of this "handsome" devil:
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/e/e9/Animated_handsome.gif/revision/latest?cb=20130623142605)

"Darr, a quarter? He'll be dancing for hours!"
Every single person called Pete that I have met since that episode aired I have referred to as Handsome Pete
