Title: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: OPUS on November 17, 2007, 03:54 We've always talked about our most beloved, our most favorites. Just out of curiosity, we have to have something or someone we just cannot stand to see or hear on the show. For me, say, LET ME THINK...... Come on Lisa give me qa sec!. :) I'd say, The yesssssss guy. Who would yours be?
Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Empethree on November 17, 2007, 08:25 I dont really perticulalrly dislike any of the characters, but if i were to say my least favourite I would probably say Bumblebee Man. Some of the times he pops up I find annoying and disturbs how the plot rolls.
Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: SimpReal on November 17, 2007, 10:13 I downright *hate* the Texan guy (the one that goes Hyppee, and fires his guns). It's the perfect example of a stereotype that 1) no one felt the need of 2) is very poorly and easily thought, it has no redeeming features to it, there's no clevenress behind his character, it's like having a person explaining you a joke before telling it to you. Bleh.
Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Black_raven on November 17, 2007, 10:17 I know!! I know!
Lindsey Naggle Eugh! >_< Either her or Helen Lovejoy.... Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Maggiecute on November 17, 2007, 11:46 I'm not keen on Milhouse or Mindy

Don't forget Cookie Kwan. Meh. :o Even searching Google for that name turns up this as the second result: With the debut of Cookie Kwan, it is clear that the Simpsons writers are dangerously low on ideas - and it's sad to see an utterly pointless character ... :POther than that I don't really dislike any of the other characters. They all fit in somehow. Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: ametur_poet on November 17, 2007, 17:45 I never liked Gil. He's just a not funny version of Hans Moleman.

I never liked Gil either. He's the jittery, nervous, financially unstable guy who never does anything funny. He's just annoying. Other than that I can't think of anyone right now. But I'm sure if you were to mention a character I hate, like AP did, I'd let you know... Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: OPUS on November 17, 2007, 18:34 I don't know why I forgot about old Gil. He sucks in terms of entertaining and in terms of how the character is, well, he is totally a "#"@*$%" lol. Really, he is by far the worst in my book too, boring, absurd, unintellegent, stupid, *fill out the rest* (all negative things that you can think of. To think that Crazy-Cat lady is for me far better than this guy is just says it all.
*To all simpson writers: Why don't you guys flamb? this guys braini on THOH XIX? Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Dagdamor on November 17, 2007, 22:57 I don't really hate anyone in the Simpsons, every character is very important (especially in the earlier seasons, when they were doing a really nice job by using secondary characters on purpose and in the most fitting situation). But I have a small exception... Fatty and Smelma. I don't hate them either, but dislike - yeah. They utterly hate Homer and spent so much efforts to humiliate him and/or to break apart the Simpsons family. I'm not too fond in Homer, but no matter how childish his actions are sometimes, he still truly loves Marge and all kids.
In the 7G08 "Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire" (the first Simpsons episode!!), Patty and Selma managed to humiliate Homer in front of little Lisa. She even had to ask them to tone down a bit... but of course they didn't take Lisa's words seriously. Too bad... Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: SpringfieldHorror on November 21, 2007, 21:26 I'd have to agree with the majority. Gil. Is. ANNOYING. Especially since he sounds so paranoid and is always shaky, like there's a hungry cougar after him.
Cookie Kwan I never liked. :\ Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Syke on March 14, 2008, 05:36 Not for the fact that he doesnt belong, because he does belong all too well, but I despise Nelson and the bullies. I know people like that in real life, and in all honesty, believe that bullies are a pest to all humanity, and deserve to be bullied back. I know I do ^u^. You would be suprised how easily bullies run from the right words. Carrying unusual weaponry helps to ^u^, Im somewhat of an expert, mallets are suprisingly effective, and a twitch can destroy morale, as crazy people are dangerous people.... Sorry, began lecturing again XD
But Nelson for sure, nasty piece of work, Im also not fond of Flanders. People who destroy the fun of childhood like that deserve to be slapped by god, rather than thanked. ~Syke Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: starfish on June 09, 2008, 12:49 Helen Lovejoy. So irritating! Quick to enforce the prohibition law whwn it was reintroduced, yet no remorse for her actions when it was discovered the law was repealed
Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Maléfix on June 10, 2008, 14:37 gil - I mostly agree with the moleman argument...
but if I would write now that all characters are some kind of a role in there, the 'Simpsons: real or not' discussion would start again. From the other point of view (simpsons are real) there would be a lot more charas I'd dislike. Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: CCD! on June 10, 2008, 15:45 hmmm... maybe Bart, me no like the acttitude of this guy... is a bit "cargante"...
-_- Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Leif on June 10, 2008, 16:37 I dont like Gil. He is just too sad to bee funny. And Crazy Cat Woman. The way she treats her cats clearly shows she don’t care for cats.
Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Dagdamor on June 10, 2008, 23:08 Fat Comic Book Guy. I'm still not sure about his name, in one episode we have one version, in another episode we have different one... the guy surely has a brain damage, being so sarcastic and arrogant to everyone around. For that reason, he doesn't have any friends and still alone in his life. I never liked people who think they are better than the others in everything - and the more such people I meet, the more I'm sure they are wrong :p Sometimes such attitude turns out to be just a silly way to cover their own ignorance, and after knowing them for some time you become greatly disappointed.
Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Casper on June 12, 2008, 00:09 I dont think its a simple answer really. Some characters are designed to be annoying, and all of them have a moment somewhere. I like Crazy Cat Lady and even Gil in some parts.
I think a character to truely dislike would be so boring that they wouldnt be noticed really. Either that or evil successful, but everyones gotta like Burns one way or another. :P Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: G.H. on June 12, 2008, 06:26 starfish
Helen Lovejoy can be annoying at times too. The whole neighborhood gossip shit really doesn't fly with me, it just disgusts me, and she's always coming up with more offensive things to say. In one episode (I think it was "Marge In Chains", although my memory isn't what it used to be), she claimed that Marge had a drinking problem when she obviously didn't. But of course Helen lied to make her look worse. Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: CargoOfDarkness on June 12, 2008, 18:14 There are a lot of Simpsons characters I don´t like, most of them are one-timer. None of them are from the cast of season 1-8... because there where just good characters. Later seasons brought a lot of stupid characters. Some of them are idiotic Gil, Texas man and Lindsey Neagle...
I wonder how someone is able to not like Milhouse Van Houten and Mindy Simmons? O.o Phantastic character roles... Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Black_raven on June 12, 2008, 19:35 Hey people, what's with all the Gill bashing? :gigi: Know y'all love him really :D
And the Crazy Cat Lady!?! She happens to be one of my favorites too!! XD Dunno why, just funny :P Reminds me of my most likely future self O_o Lindsey Neagle and Helen Lovejoy however...*shudder* though out of the two I'd say Lindsey is worse...though as said, her function is MEANT to be annoying, a not so nice character, yet, I feel sometimes the show could do without her....Although she does add to some plots, most of the time whilst watching it, I just want her to go away!.... As for annoying characters overall, do like some...I miss Troy McClure!! :( Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Leif on June 12, 2008, 19:41 Milhouse is a looser. He is sometimes stupid and annoying. But he has many times had an important role to play in the plot. He is newer put completely down.
He has his moments when he is smarter then you expect. Like in “Bart sell his soul.” Milhouse is an important part of that story, and momentarily he actually gets the upper hand on Bart. I wouldn’t like him to leave. Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: CCD! on June 12, 2008, 19:50 As for annoying characters overall, do like some...I miss Troy McClure!! :( but Troy McClure is a star in the world! with a lot of good films.. (i remenber somes classic's in spanish) :gigi: ________________________ COD says: "I wonder how someone is able to not like Milhouse Van Houten and Mindy Simmons? O.o" me no like Milhouse Van Houten... :confused: :) Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: G.H. on June 12, 2008, 23:25 As for annoying characters overall, do like some...I miss Troy McClure!! :( Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz are probably the two characters I miss the most... really too bad about Phil Hartman. Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Dagdamor on June 12, 2008, 23:35 G.H.
True, I miss them too. I wonder if it's so hard to replace Phil Hartman's voice with a similar one, to at least bring back to life his characters. Also, I was a big hater of Mod Flanders once, but weird thing - after seeing her dead in the show I started even missing her nowadays. She wasn't too bad character. This would be never applied to Comic Book Guy, of course ;) Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: G.H. on June 12, 2008, 23:48 Dagdamor
I wonder if it's so hard to replace Phil Hartman's voice with a similar one, to at least bring back to life his characters. I believe they retired the characters out of respect for Hartman's memory... which is disappointing since I always enjoyed them, however I can understand the reasoning behind it. About Maude Flanders... eh, I guess you just get used to somebody. Title: Re: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Black_raven on June 13, 2008, 17:10 True but then they paid tribute to him in Futurama (Phillip J Fry, and Zapp Brannigan ;))
Maude ...weelll....she never really made much of an impact on me at first either, only did so when she died out of pity for Flanders mostly, there's times in the newer episodes I wish she would be back but only to to keep Ned company :( (Cartoon characters or not, came to like the Flanders more as time went on, Ned really shined in the movie) Title: What character you dont like from the Simpsons? Post by: Beb on July 07, 2008, 19:19 I'm not awfully fond of Maude Flanders, and I'm not sure we were supposed to be. She seems too smug and judgemental to be as likeable as Ned.
