History Characters / TheSimpsonsChurchDoctorsCelebrities

* HateSink: She is an entitled bitch that has little to no likeable traits to speak of.

* CardCarryingVillain: He makes absolutely no effort to conceal the fact that he can be a very cruel man whenever he [[ForTheEvulz feels like it]], especially if you can't afford to pay his medical work. As a result, DependingOnTheWriter he can switch between AffablyEvil and FauxAffablyEvil (and the now inceasingly-rare OnlySaneMan moments) at the drop of a hat.

* YourSizeMayVary: Varies between being slightly taller than Homer Simpson and sometimes shorther.

* LabCoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Usually wears a slightly too large labcoat.

* VocalEvolution: In the pilot episode, "Some Enchanted Evening", his voice is noticably more relaxed and smooth. By his final few appearances, the rasp in his voice became more exagerrated. This was to the detrement of his actor, Harry Shearer who found voicing Monroe increasingly more strenuous as a result.

-->Do I have a magic lense that can see into peoples souls? Well yours would be BLACK Kent, Black as the ace of spades!

* {{Jerkass}}: On his worse moments, he comes as this,being a BadBoss who constantly belittles his co-workers. He is also constantly shown to be an UngratefulBastard who completely forgets all the good things Bart has done for him, and often behaves in rather unpleasant manner.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS32E18BurgerKings Burger Kings]]", when Krusty's LGBTQBLT campaign is failing, he asks Mel for advice, since he's "three of those letters"… whatever that means. Given that Mel has been shown to crossdress, Krusty, in his usual ingorance, could be referring to that.

* {{Polyamory}}: A comic story revealed that Dredrick has multiple wives.

* RetiredBadass: ''Highway to Well'' confirms that Dredrick is more or less retired from boxing and now works as a businessman. Like George Foreman, he even has his own line of grills and warns Marge not to use metal utensils on the teflon surfaces.

* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Originally, Hibbert was one of the few competent people in Springfield and often played the role of OnlySaneMan, but he eventually became this.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS32E18BurgerKings Burger Kings]]", when Krusty's LGBTQBLT campaign is failing, he asks Mel for advice, since he's "three of those letters"… whatever that means. Given that Mel has been shown to crossdress Krusty, in his usual ingorance, could be referring to that.
* AmbiguouslyBi: If Krusty's comment on Mel from above doesn't refer to his gender identity then it could also refer to his sexual orienttation. However he's only ever shown having attraction to women and has been married to one.

* KnightInSourArmor: Widely adored by almost every child in Springfield, yet continues to have an apathetic outlook on life.

* PetTheDog: Despite being staunchly conservative, she openly brags about having a transgender cousin.

** In the episode "The Great Money Caper" he buys [[ReplacementGoldfish a new identical dog]] to Bart, when the original was appearantly eaten by shark.

* GutturalGrowler: He speaks with a very gruff, raspy voice. This can be attributed to, among other things, his nicotine addiction.

* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Shown in flashbacks with some questionable hairstyles. When Bart was born, he had an afro. When Lisa was born, he had cornrows with Afrocentric beads on them. When Maggie was born, he had a Mr. T-style mohawk.

* CardCarryingVillain: He makes absolutely no effort to conceal the fact that he can be a very cruel man whenever he [[ForTheEvulz feels like]] it, especially if you can't afford to pay his medical work. As a result, DependingOnTheWriter he can switch between AffablyEvil and FauxAffablyEvil (and the now inceasingly-rare OnlySaneMan moments) at the drop of a hat.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Damn Flanders..."

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Ohhh, won't somebody PLEASE [[ThinkOfTheChildren think of the children]]?"

* PhraseCatcher: "Hi, Doctor Nick!" in response to his {{catchphrase}}. So much that every character in ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsRoadRage'' says this to him when they pick him up.

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* {{Catchphrase}}: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Mendoooozaa!!]]

[[caption-width-right:250:[[{{Catchphrase}} You might remember me from]] such character pages as this one!]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: His catchphrases of choice are typically "¡Ay, ay, ay, no me gusta!" ("I don't like it!"), "¡Ay, ay, ay, no es bueno!" ("That's not good!") and "¡Ay, Dios no me ama!" ("God doesn't love me!").

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Oh yeah!", usually accompanied by a hip thrust.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Hi, everybody!"

* ThirdPersonPerson: Duffman is generally known for his overly enthusiastic speech in which he refers to himself in the third person.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS32E18BurgerKings Burger Kings]]", when Krusty's LGBTQBLT campaign is failing, he asks Mel for advice, since he's "three of those letters"… whatever that means. He can't be lesbian, since he's but what Krusty means by that is still anyone's guess…
* AmbiguouslyBi: In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS32E18BurgerKings Burger Kings]]", when Krusty's LGBTQBLT campaign is failing, he asks Mel for advice, since he's "three of those letters"… whatever that means. He can't be lesbian, since he's but what Krusty means by that is still anyone's guess…
* AmbiguouslyGay: In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS32E18BurgerKings Burger Kings]]", when Krusty's LGBTQBLT campaign is failing, he asks Mel for advice, since he's "three of those letters"… whatever that means. He can't be lesbian, since he's but what Krusty means by that is still anyone's guess…

* InsaneTrollLogic: His diagnosis are usually this; for example you ''might'' loose weight by following his "eat anything you want anytime you want" diet.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The TropeNamer for ThinkOfTheChildren , like her husband chooses to ignore the fact that her daughter is a bigger trouble maker than Bart

* HandCannon: The weapon of choice for his [=McBain=] character, and that's when he's packing light.

* DecompositeCharacter: Originally an alter-ego of Homer Simpson before becoming a separate character entirely

-->'''Lovejoy''': “But, whether you noticed her or not, Maude was always there...and we thought she always would be.”

* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Given that he can drive Krusty's limo....

* BusCrash: He was retired around the seventh season as no one on the crew (not even his voice actor, Harry Shearer, who found Monroe's gravelly voice a real strain on his vocal chords) liked the character. The "Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital" is mentioned in "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)" as a way of quietly implying the character had passed away offscreen. His death was confirmed during [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E10TheSimpsons138thEpisodeSpectacular the 138th episode spectacular]]. This episode revealed the death in the form of a question: "What two popular Simpsons characters have died in the past year?", to which the answer was, "If you said Bleeding Gums Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe you were wrong; [[ExactWords they were never popular]]." Later episodes almost make a RunningGag out of it, with his gravestone being seen in "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily" and the Marvin Monroe Memorial Gymnasium appearing in "Bye Bye Nerdie". [[TheBusCameBack However...]]

* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Thanks to [[NegativeContinuity the fluid nature]] of [[DependingOnTheWriter the show]], Krusty has a weird budget and net worth. In some episodes, he's only a locally known kids' show host and he hardly has any money, and in other episodes he's a media empire on par with Creator/{{Disney}}.

* MoneyDearBoy: InUniverse. He will always choose selling out over artistic integrity. He endorses so many products, in fact, that in "Homie The Clown" there's almost nothing left that he doesn't ''already'' endorse.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He may be a quirky priests, but "Homer the Heretic" implies Lovejoy somehow knows the entire Bible by heart, or at least the Gospels, and can quote any specifical verse he is asked. Other episodes similarly imply he has a great theological knowledge, much to his listeners' boredom.

* PreacherMan: His main role in the series, being the community priest.

* FunnyFlashbackHaircut: He is the best of all examples of this trope. As a Main/RunningGag, whenever he's shown in flashback, he has a different hairstyle, including a Main/FunnyAfro in Main/TheSeventies, dreadlocks with beads and a Mr. T-style Mohawk at different points in Main/TheEighties, and a high-and-tight in Main/TheNineties.

** He also has a twin brother who runs an orphanage. Naturally, Homer doesn't bother to tell him.

* CatchPhrase: "Ohhh, won't somebody PLEASE [[ThinkOfTheChildren think of the children]]?"

* CatchPhrase:

* CatchPhrase: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Mendoooozaa!!]]

[[caption-width-right:250:[[CatchPhrase You might remember me from]] such character pages as this one!]]

* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "Hi, I'm Troy [=McClure=]! You may remember me from such ''[medium he's currently appearing in]''s as ''[title X]'' and ''[title Y]''." A few episodes play with this:

* YouMightRememberMeFrom: The TropeNamer and an InUniverse example with a MadLibsCatchPhrase in which he introduces himself as having been part of multiple (constantly absurdly-named) works related to whatever he's presenting.

* CatchPhrase: His catchphrases of choice are typically "¡Ay, ay, ay, no me gusta!" ("I don't like it!"), "¡Ay, ay, ay, no es bueno!" ("That's not good!") and "¡Ay, Dios no me ama!" ("God doesn't love me!").

* CatchPhrase: "Oh yeah!", usually accompanied by a hip thrust.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: He has done many immoral things, but is friendly otherwise.

* GettingHighOnTheirOwnSupply: In "Pork and Burns" he prescripes opioids to himself and becomes woozy as result.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Introduced in season 2 episode ''"Bart Gets Hit by a Car"'' and has been re-acurring character ever since.

* LabCoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Usually wears a little bit too large labcoat.

* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: He states in a sermon that the Springfield church's dogma is the one true faith; that is, the Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism.
