Yes, Comic Book Guy is the best character.
A very very close second is Sideshow Bob. I cant believe he was not in the movie. Anyone know why?

Oh, so many. It’s a tough choice between Comic Book Guy & Professor Frink. He may not have as much screentime as he used to, but every second is enjoyable.

One episode that sticks out in my mind is when the Isotopes win the penant? and Homer & gang go on a drunken party through the town, ending in the men’s shower at the deserted High School. When they wake up, the town is destroyed and they blame the kids and start a curfew. The kids revolt and eventually the seniors take over.
Grandpa: Yay! We took back the night!

The Conan O’Brien years were the best, IMHO. The surest way way to tell (aside from the credits) is not by the continued-to-be-refined crudeness of the characters but by the larger black pupils that are a little wonky.

That said, there’s almost too many favorite lines over the course of 19 seasons. That show has given me nothing but pure joy for almost 20 years of my adult life and asked nothing in return — except to shell out my hard earned cash to buy the DVD sets and see one movie in the theatres. Frankly, Fox would be wise to create an all-Simpsons cable channel, airing uncut episodes from start to finish or theming them based on the season of the year. How frakin’ great would it be as one approached Halloween to watch all the Treehouse of Terrors?? The could supplement with all the features on the DVDs. Guaranteed eyeballs.

A couple lines I love and use regularly:
“I’m no super genius. Or are I?” – Homer

“My eyes! The goggles do nothing!” – Rainer Wolfecastle as Radioactive Man

Grandpa:
“So long, milkshakes!”

good old Krusty:
“Hey, I don’t need your charity, titters. Now, say hello to my girlfriend, Charity Titters.”

from the ‘Funzo’ episode:
(Lisa writes “I will not do math in class” on the blackboard as a
punishment)
Bart: Lisa in trouble? The ironing is delicious.
Lisa: The word is irony!

Bart: All’s I know is I’m getting straight A’s, and that ain’t not bad.

and, of course, trusty Smithers:
“I think women and sea men don’t mix.”

I don’t know what I’ll do when the stop making new episodes of The Simpsons. It’ll be a sad day and I know it’s coming.

The one where Homer gains 60 lbs to work from home and wears a Mumu.

I’m gonna have to say Rev. Lovejoy is underrated

Flanders: Is God testing me?
Lovejoy: Oh… short answer: yes with an “if”, long answer no….. with a “but”.

Lovejoy: Wait a minute, this sounds like rock and/or roll.

The film festival episode:

Marge: My name is Marge Simpson and I have a suggestion.
Crowd: Mumur, mumur, mumur.
Random Person: Marge is gonna say something.

You can’t do it justice by reading it but it is my favourite funny moment ever in the series.

Homer’s Enemy was my favorite, I watched the show religiously from seasons 7-12 and caught up on the rest through reruns and let me tell ya, this would stands head and shoulders above anything else I’ve ever seen on that show, just barely, lol

Lionel Hutz is my favorite character and Marge in Chains is my favorite episode.
Lionel Hutz: Well, he’s kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace “accidentally” with “repeatedly,” and replace “dog” with “son.”

“This isn’t a very happy birthday for Rex Banner”.

Beer Baron FTW! Great, great episode. So many great lines.

Also, the episode where they go to New York to get Homer’s car.

Favorite character? I’d have to go with Grimie..at least as a secondary character. It’s a hard decision.

The show right now is just awful..its almost unwatchable. I agree on that mypod post earlier..that episode and the one where Homer becomes a bounty hunter this year were just pathetic. I can’t remember laughing even once.

Frank Grimes! There’s a character I thought was brilliant. A whole episode about a real guy breaking down the fourth wall and reacting to Homer’s stupidity. As far as I can remember, that was the last ultimately great episode.
