Just-Stamp-the-Ticket Man, Baron Von Kiss-a-Lot, Hank Scorpio, and Bleeding Gums Murphy were my favorites.

Surprisingly, Joey Joe Joe and Yes Guy weren't in their list!

Just-Stamp-The-Ticket Man has appeared quite a few times. I think he punches a hippie for singing on the street but I can't remember which episode that is. I've always wanted to know his real name as well, so I'm a little disappointed that it's just 'Just-Stamp-The-Ticket Man'.

Bart of Darkness

Thanks, al and mike.

[Shaunbadia]

The lack of "That's it back to Winnipeg" guy displeases me.

I get a real kick out of the various Homer doppelgangers.

[The Spruce Moose]

wrong, wrong, definitely wrong

[Dark Homer]

the grumble??? really???

[lolcats]

Where's the guy with the pumpkin head?

I always thought they could have got more mileage out of Don Brodka.

edit: I'm disappointed they didn't include Cowboy Bob (from Call of The Simpsons)

[Little Nellie Kelly]

Surprised at the lack of many funny one-time classic-era characters, such as two already mentioned that really deserved a spot: the female Homer doppelganger and Joey Joe Joe.

the female Homer doppelganger and Joey Joe Joe.

No joke, those are the exact two people I thought of when I read the thread's title.

Same here!

this. how the fuck could anyone like that abomination?

[Insecthero]

this. how the fuck could anyone like that abomination?

Wow, that's something I could've lived a long, happy life without ever knowing it existed. What a stupid, stupid character.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Good ep though.

[zach]

Spider-Pig? oh god no. every time he's on, i cringe like there's no tomorrow.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

And obscure? Hardly. That thing was an annoying headache of a phenomenon in 2007.

[Dark Homer]

Good ep though.

nah

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

but come on how could an episode where it's revealed his last name is gunderson couldn't be good?

[Dark Homer]

dude, are you being sarcastic

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

i don't even know anymore

but seriously, i thought the episode was pretty okay

[zach]

what the hell episode is that?

[Lionel Hutz]

Homerpalooza

[Pops]

The song she is singing is playing on the radio right now! I keep hearing Dan Castalenetta singing it in my head though, I love that gag!

[ManiacalRoboKiller]

Where's Frank Grimes, Poochie, Roy, Sherry Boppins, Lester and Eliza? Those are wayyyy better than the Grumple and that willy wonka like character...

[Pops]

What about the Really Tall Man?
