For me, I hate Homer Simpson because he keeps on strangling Bart when every time he gets pissed off by his pranks.

Well, what about you?

Principal Skinner's mother. She's not even mean in a funny way most of the time; she's just mean.

Milhouse. Never in the 20 years of The Simpsons has Milhouse ever been funny, amusing or entertaining to watch. The only joy I can get from this character is when some horrible tragedy befalls him and is accompanied by Nelson's "Haw-HAW"!

Reverend Lovejoy and his wife. They're unfunny, bland, boring hypocrital and annoying pricks that even fail to be amusing religious strawmen.

I don't like the Bumblebee Man either. He's the worst kind of racial caricature, the one that isn't anywhere near to spot-on at all.

The Comic Book Store Guy is funny in very small doses, but when they hammer the same no-life comics-geek old gags with him, he comes off as more of pointless vitriol at an easy social target than anything else.

Marge in the latest seasons. Does not know how to have fun at all. Sometimes lampshaded in the show, most recently by Grandpa in an awesomely epic quote I can't remember at the moment.

I can never resent Reverend Lovejoy. Whenever I'm about to, I remember that he's the man who conquered Baboon County, USA.

I hate Reverend Lovejoy, too. That "Marge Simpson's devil daughter" crack when Lisa converted to Buddhism was unforgivable. His wife is pretty annoying too, but at least she doesn't get lines anymore.

That's about it. The rest of the characters, as they are used, are all right.

Lovejoys don't even do anything interesting. Reverend maybe, but the rest of the family are just there.

Can't say I hate them though.

Flanders really gets on my nerves when he's acting religious conservative, though.

Do the writers count as characters?

If not, that one fat loser prankster Bart befriended in that one episode. He was a complete d**k, and yet somehow got a happy ending. It goes beyond Karma houdini: it's a complete breakdown on the understanding of cause and effect and how humans work on the writer's part. It's like the writer of the episode was an antisocial narcissist who never met another person, but saw one on TV once.

Oh yeah, and it wasn't funny, either!

I mostly dislike a lot of the oneshot characters. The one that most readily springs to mind were the Wiccan girls that Lisa befriended in one episode, who did nothing of value and had the most annoying voices ever.

Homer. Not originally, but as time has gone on he's shifted from a bumbling, incompentent but generally loving Dad who tries to do the best for his kids and family into a full-blown Jerkass with very few redeeming qualities, not to mention is idiocy has also gone up insanely high in order to garner cheap laughs.

The Straw Feminist who accused Homer of sexual harassment. That's just because I hate that episode's guts.

As for frequent characters. Hmnn, that's a good question. I think I like them all, so I will put the one I like the least: How about maggie's arch enemy?

In defense of the lovejoys , I like that the reverend is such a crazy train geek. "Are you happy to see me or do you have a train in your pocket?" "Hmnn. Both"

I didn't like the Israelite Tour Guide guy in the 'Simpsons go to Israel' episode. His tone and voice wanted to make me cringe and the guy juuuust talked over the whole ending credits and wouldn't shut up. The Israel girl who studied a type of Israel kung-fu was a Crowing Moment Of Awesome though

For oneshot characters, I can't remember the episode name, but Marge was going to college or something and she warmed up to one professor in particular. He was basically everything bad about liberals (me being more liberal than anything) and he was trying to get into her pants

Plus his voice alone was so smug it made me want to punch him with every word.

Gil. He was mildly amusing at best in his first few appearances, but the writers didn't know when enough was enough. The "Kill Gil" episode that centered on him was I think one of the weakest in the show's history.

Sideshow Mel. I'm so sick of his "calling out during town hall meetings" shtick. Just because he has a "Master Thespian"-type voice doesn't make everything he says automatically funny.

I agree with the "Ned in his hateful religious conservative phase" opinion above. Thank Jebus that seems to be over with. I'm aware of why the writers did that—one was on the record as saying it was a protest against Bushism—but given how lovable and tolerant Ned had always been, I can't think of a more on-the-nose example of Character Derailment. If they wanted to satirize right-wing moral busybodiness, they could easily have created a new character. Anyway. Like I said, we seem for some time now to have had the old Ned back.

Lisa. First she's a normal kid like Bart (but wittier). Then she's suddenly the intelectual of the family. But the thing that really bugs me is how her character is trying to be Brian from family guy. also her constant (and very loud) reminders that she's a bhuddist vegetarian kinda gets annoying.

Also Patty and Selma are getting boring.

Lisa and Marge just because their episodes are always the blandest.

I'm not sure I'd say I hate him, but Mr. Burns has lost a lot of his bite after being shot. He seems more like an ineffectual fuddy duddy than the villian he used to be.
