1. Homer Simpson

   Being practically raised on The Simpsons, I don't regret a single part of my life spent watching this old guy for hours, laughing out loud at every new mistake he makes as he tries so hard to fix it.

   The world is as kind to Homer Simpson as it is cruel, and I've always found myself able to relate to him that way. As much as people will complain, I never want to see this shining light die out. Cancel The Simpsons as soon as I'm dead.

   He's the funniest and he's the best. People need to give the new episodes of The Simpsons a chance, not just judge them by a few episodes.

   Plus, on Fox, the animation is amazing. Anyway, Homer Simpson is stupider than Peter Griffin (that's saying a lot) and he's the funniest cartoon character of all time.

   You choo-choo-choose me?

   Why do people run from me?

   The wonderful list goes on...

   He is so funny and stupid I choke every time he says something!

   Ralph is hilarious and everybody should like him!

   This is the funniest character of all. Mischief (pranks), skateboards, and catchphrases all make him the best.

    Excellent character. I love the line, Some of the evilness got in between my toes and now I'm a bigger bastard than ever, from the episode where he is arrested for stealing a priceless work of art.

    Mr. Burns being weak is probably really funny.

He is known for running The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop. Comic Book Guy is characterized by his sarcastic tone, vast pop culture knowledge... read more

    I love Comic Book Guy. He's my favorite character. To everyone that hates him... Worst. Opinion. Ever.

    So funny. In Homerzilla, there was a monster that was huge and didn't see him. "What monster?"

14. Cletus Spuckler

    Why does every comment here have hillbilly in it? I know he is one, but why?

    He must have big balls if he can produce 40+ kids!

    Yes, he is the hillbilly indeed.

15. Ned Flanders

    

    Nedward "Ned" Flanders Jr., more commonly known as Flanders, is the Simpson family's deeply religious next-door neighbor. He's a genuinely well-meaning, good-natured person who, despite his strong faith, can be timid and somewhat of a pushover.... read more

    I couldn't stop laughing every time Ned gets angry at Homer.

16. Hans Moleman

    

    Hans Moleman is a recurring character on the animated television series The Simpsons. He was created by series creator Matt Groening and is voiced by Dan Castellaneta. Moleman first appeared in the episode "Principal Charming" and is known for his frail appearance and frequent misfortunes.

    Man getting hit by football is brilliant. Also, people say he is unlucky, but I think he is the luckiest character after surviving about 40 near-death experiences.

    Hans Moleman's tragic life would make me cry if it wasn't so funny.

17. Groundskeeper Willie

    

    Groundskeeper Willie is a character from The Simpsons. He is best known for his thick Scottish accent and fiery temper. He first appears in the Season 2 episode Principal Charming, which originally aired on February 14, 1991.

    Groundskeeper Willie's accent and personality make him the most lovable Simpsons character.

    Lunch Lady Doris: Yeah, they even have Groundskeeper Willie teaching French to the younger children.

    Willie: BONJOUR! You cheese-eating surrender monkeys!

    Milhouse Mussolini Van Houten is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons. He is voiced by Pamela Hayden and was created by Matt Groening. The character's name includes Mussolini as a joke and Milhouse, which was President Richard Nixon's middle name.

    He's a real imbecile. Milhouse is one of the funniest. He's very funny when he loses his glasses, what he does with Lisa, and so much more.

    He should be a lot higher. His awkward relationship with Bart is great.

19. Nelson Muntz

    

    Nelson Mandela Muntz is a fictional character and the lead school bully from the animated TV series The Simpsons. He is known for his mocking laugh and aggressive behavior toward other students. Nelson first appeared in the episode Bart the General in 1990.

20. Dr. Nick

    

    Hey everybody! He's funny, but I'd be in hell if he was in my operation.

21. Waylon Smithers

    

    Almost every one of Smithers' jokes is about being gay, and it's hilarious. He's honestly very underrated and very funny!

22. Jasper Beardsley

23. Krusty the Clown

    

    Hershel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky, known by his stage name Krusty the Clown, is a character from The Simpsons. He first appeared in the short Krusty the Clown on The Tracey Ullman Show, and made his series debut in the episode The Telltale Head.... read more

    Professor Frink always makes the silliest inventions.
