Top 10 Worst Simpsons Characters

The Top Ten
1 Lisa Simpson Lisa Marie Simpson is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons. She is the middle child and most intelligent of the Simpson family.

What used to be one of the most likeable characters has slowly evolved season by season into the most hated. Newer seasons involve Lisa taking the moral high ground on nearly every topic, and criticises everyone that doesn't share her view. In older seasons, Lisa wasn't the person to make funny remarks, but she certainly knew how to make a scene its funniest. Her insight concluded episodes in the best possible way and had a huge impact on the also lost heart-warming scenes; her performances left you in tears. Now, Lisa is a boring character with most episodes centred towards her, and even some times having whole episodes dedicated to her on boring issues. Although Lisa is a family member of the Simpsons, she isn't the centre of the family, and because of this focus she has turned into the character that nobody likes.

Lisa actually used to be a likeable character, although not too many peoples favorite. She used to be a voice of reason and pretty much the only logical one most of the time. The writers made her so awfully annoying by having her be so smug and confident of her "moral superiority", intellect, faith (or lack of) and ideas, believing that anyone else is wrong. Probably one of the worst offenses of this is in "Lisa the Vegetarian" when she first becomes one. There's nothing wrong with making her a vegetarian, the problem is she instantly became too preachy. She decides to ruin a barbecue hosted by the family just for serving meat. Another example is in "Lisa the Skeptic". Marge tells her that she believes in angels which prompts Lisa to say that she thought Marge was an intelligent person, which insinuates that by Marge believing in angels she is stupid.

2 Marge Simpson Marjorie Jacqueline "Marge" Simpson is a fictional character in the American animated sitcom The Simpsons and part of the eponymous family. She is the wife of Homer and the mother of three children in the family.

As an atheist, I really hate when Marge forces her narrow-minded, annoying religious views on her family.

When Homer is sleeping, she still takes it upon herself to force Homer to get up for church EVEN when it's too cold outside "It's church, you have to go". And then, when Homer rips his pants, she groans when Homer opts to stay home, when yet it is really cold outside, and also the church's furnace isn't working.
Then, she refuses to accept Homer's arguments for giving up church - like, "what's the point of going to some building every Sunday", and praying for the God to show Homer "the error of his ways", when the God tells Homer that he has a point.

Then, when Bart asks Marge why they have to go to church when Homer gets to stay home, she just dodges the question and claims that "she has a responsibility to raise the kids right, and that unless Homer changes his ways, she'll have to tell them that he's wicked". And tells Homer that he can't win if she has to ...more

Ugh. I hate Marge for also that she always nags Homer about everything, but when she directly influences him, he gets into trouble.

When it was the Tax Day and Homer forgot to do the tax returns, she mentions that she put the tax forms on top of Homer's to-do pile a month ago. Like, was Homer ever going to look at this stupid pile? And Homer has a tendency to always do things the very wrong way, and if she is basically in charge of the household finances, why couldn't she do the taxes herself?

Then the one when Homer got into a fight with the garbagemen. And she wrote an apology letter and signed it in Homer's name! As Homer said, she signed away his dignity, and it set him off on a crazy rampage, which ultimately resulted in the destruction of Springfield. If she was going to do something like this, at least she could have kept her mouth shut on what she did, let Homer think he beat the city hall. But no. Darn.

Marge is my least favorite character, I hate the episodes that revolve around her and homer's relationship. Homer does something that bothers her, that he been doing their entire marge, then she decides to say something, and basically forces him to stop "cut cold turkey" and expect him to not have difficulty with it. When he does it, she acts like a broken hearted guilt tripper over it. She basically does every thing that people say you shouldn't do when you're in a relationship. "she tries to change them" She has double standards, and is a major hypocrite when it comes to her relationship with homer. She super narrow minded. Seriously like somebody could say "Internet gives your kids cancer" she'd remove internet from their life. She's one of those parents.

By far the WORST character. I got this Epiphany after watching the episode where Homer makes his one back-yard cinema. We can accept that piracy is stealing, however Homer was doing it to help his community and Marge even enjoyed it. But, sadly, Marge's self-righteousness got the better of her and apologized to Hollywood, with a letter telling on Homer. Homer then goes to prison, and keeps this info from Homer. I hate Marge. I despise Marge. At least Lisa has some kind of morals sometimes, she has a sense of when to give up, and sometimes gets her comeuppance for her insolence. Marge is rude, selfish, controlling and disrespectful and thus deserves the number one spot on this list.

3 Patty Bouvier

It was between Patty and Terri/Carrie. The sad thing is that I actually like Selma as a character, she wants to better herself and be happy. Patty on the other hand, knows how cold-hearted she is, has accepted it, and does nothing to change it. She might be funnier than Terri/Carrie, but they never have more than like a 10 second role. Also, Lisa doesn't deserve this much hate, many of the best more dramatic Simpsons episodes have revolved around her. Admittedly, they did take her reputation as the voice of reason character and used it to be very preachy in later seasons, but she had a lot of good moments. Also, I still think the Simpsons is still a good show, it's just the bar was set so high that even an 8/10 show looks like crap next to early Simpsons.

Patty and Selma exist to be rude and spread hate. Why hate on Lisa when she does nice kind things even for Bart sometimes. I can't remember them doing anything nice for Homer and when I think they did in another episode they went back to being cruel again. Constantly teasing Marge about Homer if you removed them from the show what would the effect be? No effect what so ever.

Either of Marge's sisters deserve this title! They exist solely to bring misery to others, though their main target is Homer (not that he doesn't deserve it from time to time, but I can't enjoy it, they're such festering piles of hate).

Patty and Selma always harass Homer, I think that before they seemed funny to me even if they didn't contribute anything to the show, they are bad with men, now I hate Patty because she is bad with Selma and doesn't let her have a normal life.

4 Helen Lovejoy

She's should be labled as a huge Karen that is always speaking I'll about others because that's what she does & what she's also fit for.

She's depressing. She's just shallow and evil the way that never makes me laugh. She's cunning and using religion and laws as excuse when they are for her advantage (or when she wishes bad for Simpsons example). She's those kind of people who judge lgbt families cause "someone please think about the children! " Helen is also demanding perfect behaviour from the others while being so horrible herself - that's the breaking point for me. She's the most judgemental characters there is. Mr. Burns is also evil, but not shallow which makes him interesting, funny, versatile and one of the best characters.

She is a worser female character than Lisa and Marge.
Patty and Selma are similar just want Marge to break up with Homer. Remember when they lock Homer up in a room and the key is in a lollipop and he can't lick it to get it.

Rude to Marge. A jerk. Useless character. Come on Maude was sometimes mean to Marge but most of the time she was nice! Helen Has NEVER been nice to Marge she deserves her hate!.

5 Martin Prince

Oh god, this character… where do I begin?
Let me get the facts straight, I think Martin Prince is a meh character, but he's still annoying and he gets on my nerves anytime I'm watching The Simpsons and he comes on, he brags too much about his grades, he always acts like the "star student" and especially a know-it-all.
I don't know, I feel like he's a little to smart in my opinion, just a very forgettable character from one of the most iconic cartoons of all time.

Where do I start? first of all, he only cares about his stupid grades, second of all, he's a hypocrite and he doesn't care about anyone (not even my favourite character, Bart) third of all, he's just an ignorant idiot and his voice is absolutely UNBEARABLE! fourth of all, he's just there to be your average boring background character. Fifth of all, he's very annoying. Martin is awful. he's cheaply written as a character, his voice stinks, he's really ugly, he looks like someone the Wolverine would eat (and that's a good character if you ask me) Bart, if you're looking for someone to prank, Martin is one of those people. If I was his dad, then I'd send him to military school. If I was one of his friends, then I'd kick him right in the balls. Martin is one of those people that I just despise and if he's gonna end up in another Simpsons episode, I'd tell Matt Groening to kill him off. Yes, he's that bad.

This is one of the worst Simpson characters ever, mainly due to the fact that he is stuck up and arrogant, I hate people like that, and he thinks he is dead clever and boasts about nearly every episode he is in, especially in the earlier seasons. Anyone remember his catchphrase 'pick me teacher, I'm ever so smart.
The reason I really hate him is because he is sexist towards women as he believes they are inferior to men, especially Lisa as he mocks her in 2 episodes of season 27.

How can this despicable character be a discount Ralph Wiggum when they're both in the SAME UNIVERSE?!

They really missed the mark when they banned Apu when it turns out, he was never really the true character we needed to move.

Also, props to the people in this comments writing about stuff by introducing us to the topic with, "Where do I start? "

6 Sherri and Terri

But funny in I think was their first episode (Season 1 Homer's Odyssey - Homer becomes safety inspector) Mrs Krabappel Bart be more like Sherri and Terri now they know how to behave. Little halos appear over their head and then they kiss Bart to his horror he yells.

Out of the Springfield Elementary kids they're at the top of being the worst. Always acting like they all that and hating everybody for no reason. Even though Lisa has a big butt, at least she doesn't have a face of a monkey.

Brats. Brats to the core. They only liked Lisa cause she had a pool in one episode. Typical spoilt brat cliche!

The 2nd (Terri) and 10th (Sherri) worst characters in my humble opinion.

7 Selma Bouvier

Rude to Homer but maybe because she's under the influence of Patty? All Selma wants to do is get married and have a normal life, for that I can't hate her.

Take Selma off! All she wants is to get married and have a normal life, unlike Patty who just exists to be rude.

Selma is not bad! She just wants to get married and have a normal life

Why are the Flanders on this list?

8 Luann Van Houten

She is an awful wife and a neglectful mother. Kirk was a bit hard on her in the episode they divorced but I think it was because she was just an awful mom. Milhouse should live with Kirk in his apartment.

The reason I stopped watching after season 8, not so coincidentally when she got divorced and became downright insufferable. Why couldn't Milhouse divorce her, too?

Their whole family is terrible, but she is by far the worst. She is nothing more than a manipulatIive woman and a horrible wife and mother that is the sole ruin of her family.

She's really rude to Marge in one episode. She's a terrible mother and character who serves no point and is useless she only exists for cheap jokes by Milhouse and Dad

9 Mr. Burns Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber "Monty" Burns, usually referred to as Charles Montgomery Burns or simply Mr. Burns, is a recurring character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced initially by Christopher Collins, and currently by Harry Shearer.

He's just cruel in one episode just cause Lisa had her own paper he tried to knock her off the road and she was in a car with Bart, Milhouse AND Homer. That would be 4 murders and he wouldn't even care my line to describe him is: He's so old he doesn't need a heart, just as well cause he never had one anyway.

Why is he on this. Everybody that voted for him is one of those over sensitive people who hate because he is "evil" and "mean". That's the funny and unique part to his character, otherwise, it's like having no villain in a film just because "he's a big ol' meany".

Shame on whoever put C. Montgomorey Burns on this list. He's funny, and his greed, awful leadership skills, and him being COMPLETELY out of style add to him being a great character.

Mr burns is by far the worst character in the simpsons. He doesn't have a heart. Think about who shot mr burns. How can you not hate this guy

10 Artie Ziff

This guy always makes me angry.
But a few days ago I watched the episode where Artie spent the weekend with Marge. Homer Saw them while artie fored marge to kiss and homer worked west springfield an-that's it. All I'm gonna say is worst character ever

He's one of those people who doesn't know anything about anything. Unless, he's trying to calculate what time to get a h***-** for Marge or how to grow his probably small d***.

This guy should be number 1. He is an annoying creepy jerk who ruins everything. He is not even a big part of the show. He should be killed off.

Creepiest Simpson character ever! Every time I see him, I always expect the worst with regards to Marge. Also I want to punch him.

The Contenders
11 The Blue-Haired Lawyer

The guy is a straight up Jackass who doesn't seem to have anything better to do than to either be Mr. Burns' go-to lawyer, or just show up and tell everyone about "Copyrighted Songs/Material" that nobody ever gives a damn about; Somebody please, put a bullet in this guy.

The worst stereotype of a lawyer I have ever seen. Hopefully a real lawyer will sue him out of the show. Oh and if you want to hear someone who is a sue happy, I recommend weird Al's I'll sue ya

He is so rude to everyone and his voice is so annoying they he needs to be killed off.

Blah blah copyright, blah blah libel, blah blah plagiarism. Someone give him a smack.

12 Judge Constance Harm

Even Patty and Selma are exquisite compared to this hag and that's saying a lot! Also, that voice of hers is more annoying than hell. Whenever I see her onscreen, I just want to punch that hideous face of hers.

Guys, she was made to be the worst, stop putting dick charcters as bad characters. If there's anything, Characters meant to be pro-opinion characters, but come out awful (LISA) are the ones to be voted bad.

She actually resided in a case that she was the plaintiff. That's illegal because it violates the constitutional right to a fair trial.

13 Tod Flanders

He doesn't have much character development other than being good which kinda makes him a tacky Gary Stu.

In the newer episode where Todd lost faith, he was getting into Homer & Marie's business!

The Flanders kids need a slap in the face each.

I don't get what is wrong with him. If any one ned Flanders. Same with rod

14 Principal Skinner Principal W. Seymour Skinner is a fictional character in the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, who is voiced by Harry Shearer.

I feel bad for him but not when he's giving Edna a hard time just because she didn't romanictally like him back. But I still like him to be honest.

Skinner in the Classic era was one of the best characters... Not only he was Bart's foil, but also a man that even when he can be cynical, deep down has sweetness that is not shown very often. He is a huge victim of flanderization: he was always a dorky momma's boy, but much like Flanders religion, his mommy issues grew in his character like a tumor... In the Classic years he was more a mild mannered man with a hard past in the Vietnam war, and since season 10 or so, they made him a just a pathetic wet blanket of a man.
And because of his flanderization, his dynamic with Bart and the rest of the characters are not as funny or interesting as they used to be... just predictable.

Principal and the Pauper only... Otherwise, he's pretty good.

Is my least favourite character ever on the Simpsons.

15 Baby With The Unibrow

You never even find out why Maggie is enemies with him! Why?! He has no other purpose except that and that doesn't even happen often only in the intro!

A character based around one joke-He doesn't like Maggie. They keep shoehorning him in to episodes in the hopes he will catch on.

Oh yeah that baby who is never in the show, EVER, Anyway why is Ned, Marge and Lisa on this list? They are all awesome.

The baby is so creepy and stupid. Why did they create such a pointless character?

16 Millhouse Van Houten Milhouse Mussolini Van Houten is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced by Pamela Hayden, and created by Matt Groening who named the character after President Richard Nixon's middle name.

What a creep! Mulhouse is probably closet, as his first kiss was Homer and he actually liked it (Homer was disturbed)! Lisa doesn't deserve a creep like Milhouse; she deserves better. She deserves someone like Nelson, who has a sensitive side.
Lisa and Nelson > Lisa and unknown > Lisa and Milhouse
Lisa and Milhouse is a bad match. Not going to work out. But Lisa and Nelson match perfectly.

I can't stand Millhouse, his voice is so irritating and annoying, it drives me crazy. He's definitely in my opinion the worst character. The other character I hate who should be on the top 10 is the Bumblebee man! He's not shown on all that much. But he's just such a stupid and pointless character he gets on my nerves!

I have tried to find ways to like Millhouse but I just can't. I think the part I hate most about him is whenever he gets more attention/power especially if it surpasses Bart's level, he takes it to a whole new level and abuses it (e.g. Bart's soul, turning his back on Bart at times to elevate his popularity).

I personally don't think Millhouse should be on this list. I'm in fifth grade and can somewhat relate to the miserable, lonely kid. He acts like a baby and whines and cries (which would get on my nerves in real life) but my second-favorite secondary kid in the series!

17 Rod Flanders
18 Agnes Skinner

Agnes Skinner is just cruel to Seymour for no reason. Not funny and very unlikable.

She is a mean mother, but she's honestly pretty hilarious. I can't help but feel amused whenever she says "Seymour"

She's a person who thinks that's she's tougher than anyone. It's annoying.

One of my least favorite Simpsons characters of all time.

19 Mr. Smithers

I'm surprised nobody has made any homophobic comments.

He exists to slather over Mr. Burns

He loves mr burns but never tells him or does anything about it so he's useless

20 Bumble Bee Man
21 Gil Gunderson

He is the Jerry Smith of the Simpsons. A pathetic loser who drags the Simpsons, namely Marge into his problems. To quote Rick and Morty, "You may act like prey but you're a preditor. Using pitty to trap your victims. that's how you survive."

Never funny, ever. His shtick (and his voice) is tireseome and annoying.

I like Gil. He's a funny character.

22 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, and first appeared in the episode "Principal Charming".

I feel very sorry for him when he experiences almost near death experience, especially with the Crocodiles. But luckily he's still alive or he'd be dead if it's in THE REAL WORLD. I still like him to be honest.

I don't get why he's even on this list. Hans Moleman is a LEGEND!

Poor fella, he's the guy you ought to feel sorry for.

23 James "Jimbo" Jones, Sr.

Super Intended Charmers daughter can do way better than date Jimbo because:

1. She's too mature for him.
2. She can be quite mean but not as worst as Jimbo.

That Jimbo jerk bullies everyone for no reason and same with his other 2 friends (who are also jerks).

His girlfriend, whatever her name is (whose the daughter of Intended Super Charmes), can do way better than be his bf!

His name is Corky James Jones, and he is not a Sr. Its Kearney who is a dad

24 Krusty The Clown Hershel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky better known by his stage name Krusty the Clown is a clown from The Simpsons. He first appears in the short Krusty the Clown, but in the show he first appears in The Telltale Head. He is Jewish. Despite the fact that he is children's entertainer, he's seen drinking and smoking a lot.

I feel very sorry for Kristy the Clown fans (especially Bart) because little kids look up to him as a role model and doesn't even know that Krusty smokes, takes too much drugs, etc. He is also a terrible father to his own daughter and only about himself.

To the first person who commented: That was a really good observation you just posted. The only thing Krusty was ever really good for, was bringing Side Show Bob into the show, & have a chief arch enemy for Bart.

He is not really that funny, but his voice is incredibly irritating, plus his character has always been dull and uninteresting.

Any episode that's focused on Krusty is just repeatable and are all the same just slightly different with the writing.

25 Nelson

He's not as bad as you think. He just had a rough childhood & became bitter because of this. He deeply cares about others, has a soft heart, very helpful, protective of others that he cares about & he's a GREAT CHARACTER.

Nelson is a huge jerk, he is my worst Simpsons character ever made! He was like Angelica Pickles and D.W. Combined! Thank god he got learned a lesson!

I used to not like him in old Simpsons, but then newer Simpsons came along and I started liking him.

Nelson fills that place of the well-developed bully in the Simpsons. He is in no way one of the worst.
