They've overdone a lot of the characters. My favourites used to be Groundskeeper Willy and Hans Moleman.

Now I think it's Milhouse, just because he's so weird, and still well-written.

Thrillhouse's dad's former boss at the cracker factory.

Kirk: You're letting me go?
Manager: Kirk, crackers are a family food, happy families. Maybe single people eat crackers, we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without.
Kirk: So that's it after twenty years? "So long, good luck"?
Manager: I don't recall saying "good luck".

This questions is harder to answer than "Which came first; the chicken or the egg?"

I like Agnes Skinner. She has some classic moments.

Agnes Skinner: Seymour, tell these people we're going ahead of them.
Principal Skinner: I'm not the principal of the line, mother.
Agnes Skinner: And you never will be.

I also like Rod and Tod Flanders.

Lisa: Where are the dice?
Todd Flanders: Daddy says dice are wicked.
Rod Flanders: We just move one space at a time. It's less fun that way.

Finally I like the Old Sea Captain:

Man: I'm telling you the light would work better if it pointed out to sea.
Sea Captianr: Arr, shut up. I know what I'm doin'. (a boat crashes in the distance) Arr, I hate the sea and everything in it.

The teenager with the crackling voice and pimples is always funny for a good laugh.

You are correct, sir! I forget about that guy; too bad you won't get the cool burn this week!

I like the idiot bullies at Bart & Lisa's school.

Jimbo: Hey, Simpson! Did your mother buy you those pajamas?
Bart (looking down at his jammies): Of course she did. Who else would've bought them?
Jimbo: Uhh... You win this time, Simpson...

Those guys are great, although they've kind of overused Nelson (except when they pair him up for any reason with Martin).

Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney are great though.

Here's a trivia fact about Dolph: in the episode "24 Minutes," it's revealed he's fluent in Korean.

I gotta mention Kent Brockman. He's a great caricature of news anchors.

And I guess they don't really count, but Itchy and Scratchy are great too.

Love this bit from Kent when Homer was accused of sexual harrassment:

"Here are some results from our phone-in poll: 95% of the people believe Homer Simpson is guilty. Of course this is just a television poll, which is not legally binding, unless proposition 304 passes, and we all pray it will."

I also like the unnamed drunks at Moe's bar. They say nothing but nod and sigh drunkingly, or laugh, to some comments

Damnit, I forgot him!!! He's awesome.

He came out with his own hit single 'Can I borrow a feeling?'
