Greatest Simpson Character (Round of 64): 17 vs. 48

or...

 

A really tough pick.

 

I voted Smithers, but he doesn't have any scenes that touch this one.

 

I read somewhere that the writers considered the inclusion of any of Phil Hartman’s characters basically a form of cheating because he was so funny

 

@Henry can write sticky?

 

No disrespect to Phil Hartman, but I can't believe Smithers is going to be outvoted by a guy who's only character arc established him as a "friend of the ocean", if you get my drift.

 

That is the thing, though. I think appreciation of his characters is increased by his death. We never had to see him in the bad ones.

 

I'm mostly joking cause I'm not really that invested in this poll. I haven't honestly cared about The Simpsons in what I can now accurately call decades.

That said, what you say is probably accurate.

 

I am stunned that @OhTheWater has been silent so far.

 

Ha, I'm out of regular posting commission for a little bit. Hopefully getting back into a groove this week.

 

Troy McClure gets me every time.

Hans Moleman better be in this bracket and be better win it all

 

Drinking has ruined my life. I'm 31 years old!

 

Neck and neck, went with Smithers

 

what the hell is wrong with y'all

 

This is the reason I went with Troy.

 

How often are these going to be posted @Morrissey

 

Troy make me laugh. I vote Troy.

 

Every 3 days.

 

70 minutes left but I think we can call it. Troy McClure wins.
