Richard

Richard is a student at Springfield Elementary School and one of Bart's friends. He is the best friend of Lewis. Richard appears frequently in events involving the Springfield children. After school as shown in the second and third opening sequence, he often participates in the school band and plays catch with Milhouse and Lewis. In earlier seasons, he, along with Lewis, was commonly seen hanging out with Bart and Milhouse and was considered to be one of Bart's best friends, often hanging out with them and getting involved in his mischief. However, as Bart's time with Milhouse increased and as Nelson went from being an antagonist to a friend of Bart, Richard became far less often seen with Bart and was relegated to a background character who rarely speaks. He usually wears a blue leather jacket. His hair usually stays gray, but for unknown reasons it will sometimes randomly be brown, black, blonde, and others. Also for some reason, his eyes are normally squinted, giving him something of an Asian appearance. This was later confirmed to be untrue, in 'Duffless', Principal Skinner mentioned that the school had no Asian kids. (Although this was stated in Bart's dream sequence, so it may not be a fact.)

Richard Texan

Richard 'Rich' Texan, also known as 'The Rich Texan' and Senator Shady Bird Johnson, is a stereotypical rich, selfish, callous, but gregarious, business owner from Springfield. He wears a tan suit with a bolo tie and a white cowboy hat (which he wore on the day Kennedy was shot) and is in his 70s. He holds two guns at once. The Rich Texan has a fortune of 290 million dollars, although at one time he was worth more than 1000000000 dollars (he was once accepted into Billionaire Camp). He once owned a basketball team called the Austin Celtics, which he lost to Mr Burns in a card game. It is revealed that he often secretly mixed steroid with the cocaine consumed by the players to enhance their performance (a parody of the Boston Celtics) . He is an active member of the Springfield Republican Party and speaks with a heavy Texas drawl. In Season 5's '$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)' (the Rich Texan's debut), Homer addresses the Rich Texan as 'Senator', although this was never mentioned again . He once owned a logging company and once attempted to cut down Springfield's tallest Redwood tree, until his company was destroyed by the gigantic tree after it slid down a hill . He also once owned all of Mr. Burns's possessions, when he won them in a bet . One of Richard's fondest dreams is to build the world's first drive-through humidor . He claims to also be a member of an unnamed group of oil tycoons who make foolish purchases, having bought a stained glass bathrobe and the world’s fattest racehorse. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Robert Terwilliger

Dr. Robert Underdunk “Bob” Terwilliger, Jr., more commonly recognized by his stage name, Sideshow Bob, is the secondary antagonist of The Simpsons. He was originally Krusty the Clown's sidekick, before starting a life of crime that began with an attempt to frame Krusty for armed robbery. Bob is a self-proclaimed genius, member of the Republican Party, champion of high culture, former children's entertainer-turned-criminal mastermind and Bart Simpson's nemesis. He loves operettas, the likes of Gilbert and Sullivan, and is also known for his gigantic feet, which have gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion. Robert Terwilliger (aka Sideshow Bob) began his career as 'Sideshow Bob', a non-speaking sidekick on Krusty the Clown's television show. His younger brother, Cecil, was actually the one who was auditioning for the role, which Krusty was not impressed by and saw Bob as the ideal comic foil who would be ridiculous and never stand him up. Sideshow Bob endured much as it was to be expected from being clown sidekicks, such as being targeted with pies and shot out of cannons, but Krusty took on a more sadistic bent in order to get laughs, which had been shown to be a habit of doing to other sidekicks of his. Sideshow Bob soon began to tire of these antics, and also realized that off-camera Krusty was engaging in vulgar behavior such as illegal gambling and patronizing strip joints. Fed up with enduring abuse in order to make money to fund Krusty's carnal appetites, Sideshow Bob began plotting Krusty's downfall. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Rod Flanders

Rodney 'Rod' Flanders is the oldest son of Ned Flanders and Maude Flanders and a stepson to Edna Krabappel. He has curly hair, light blue polo shirt, dark blue pants and gray shoes. Rod often prays, first thing in the morning and last thing before going to bed. He prays for God to watch over him and his little brother, Todd. He prays for the success of his father's business. He also prays for the success of all Christians, but due to his upbringing does not respect people of other (or no) faiths. Aside from praying, Rod enjoys playing with Todd and eating lots of 'Nachos, Flanders-Style' (cucumbers with cottage cheese). His one regret is that he can't pray at school. Rod's favorite songs are 'Bringing In The Sheaves' (followed closely by 'Noah And The Arky-Arky') and 'I've Got The Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down In My Heart.' Rod has type 1 diabetes and has described being quiet during trips as one of his favorite hobbies (including clapping during songs). (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Roger Meyers, Jr

Roger Meyers, Jr. is the son of Roger Meyers, Sr. and the current Chairman of Itchy & Scratchy Studios, which produces The Itchy & Scratchy Show. He distributes the cartoon, which is frequently criticized by parents because of its indulgently violent and lurid nature. His family name has been spelled as both 'Meyers' and 'Myers' - sometimes in the same episode. In some episodes, Roger Meyers, Jr. speaks with a nasally high-pitched Brooklyn accent. Meyers is a jaded and selfish businessman who has nothing but contempt for the children who comprise his audience. Owing to his contempt for his audience, he also does not take any scripts written by children seriously regardless of quality, at best only barely making an effort to read the form letters containing the scripts from children before crumpling it up. This was best demonstrated with Bart and Lisa's first attempt at mailing Little Barbershop of Horrors while openly stating they were children, where he barely reads the first paragraph before promptly disposing of it due to who the senders were, forcing them to mail in the script again under a different name. He is short-sighted and short-tempered, caring only about people whose help he needs immediately and acting rude and dismissive toward people who voice opinions with which he disagrees. His antagonistic personality is most clearly seen in the episode 'The Day the Violence Died', when I&S Studios is bankrupted following their trial against Chester J. Lampwick. When Bart and Lisa are too late in providing information that could save the company, he condescendingly tells them to 'mail it to last week, when [he] might have cared.'

Roy Snyder

Judge Roy Snyder is one of the main judges in Springfield, or perhaps more specifically, Springfield County. He was once known as a no-nonsense judge but over the years he has loosened up and become more lenient. His temperament seems to be milder than that of the Judge Constance Harm, who is more strict. Snyder has somewhat of a grudge against Lionel Hutz for repeatedly running over his son with his car. It is unknown how old Snyder's son is or if he survived. Judge Snyder also admitted in court that his wife had left him, since then he has been seen with Lindsey Naegle. When it comes to Bart, he normally lets him off the hook using the reasoning: 'Boys will be boys'. He was the judge who banned sugar in Springfield, though later cancelled the law, and also ordered the ruling of never mentioning anything about the 'real Seymour Skinner' under penalty of torture. At one point, when decreeing that Mr. Burns has to pay a fine of three million dollars after being caught by the EPA for illegally dumping nuclear waste in a park, he allowed for Mr. Burns to, in exchange, have the Justice statue.

Ruth Powers

Ruth Powers is the Simpsons' current next-door neighbor and the single mother of Laura Powers. Ruth is divorced, and she has a daughter named Laura Powers. The circumstances behind Ruth's marriage are not explained, but she has mentioned her ex-husband behaves similar to a hardworking and career dedicated but less affable version of Homer Simpson and he was continually stiffing Ruth on child support. Due to his faults that were said to have led to their messy divorce, Ruth claims he stole her youth and outlook on life, which includes her becoming a near misandrist that she stole his car for revenge. Ruth and Marge Simpson became fast friends after Ruth moved in next door. One evening, they went to a ballet after Homer, who was originally supposed to go with Marge, literally got stuck at work (with his arms in two vending machines). Later they had a girls' night out where they went line dancing at a country bar called Shotkickers, went raving at an underground club named The Hate Box, did some target shooting (using a farmer's antique cans as targets), and went up to the Springfield sign overlooking the city. They ended up going on the run from the law, however, after Chief Wiggum tried to pull them over because of a broken taillight, and Ruth chose to flee because they were driving the car which she had stolen from her ex-husband.

Sanjay Nahasapeemapetilon

Sanjay Nahasapeemapetilon is Apu’s younger brother. He usually helps Apu out in the Kwik-E-Mart, as he did the time a frozen Jasper becomes a new craze there. He also invited Apu to his house for a party after a conversation with Apu in the Kwik-E-Mart. Apu once tried to drink from his head when Apu thought he was a hummingbird. His daughter, Pahusacheta Nahasapeemapetilon, enters the Little Miss Springfield Beauty Pageant; she sings a parody of MacArthur Park while playing a drum, which only Sanjay and Apu enjoy.. He has a son named Jamshed who looked after the Kwik-E-Mart once. He has a daughter named Pahusacheta and wife named Jeanette, a son named Jamshed. Sanjay occasionally runs the store with Apu, but he is not there all the time. Sometimes he skips out on his shift, which aggravates Apu to no end. He has been seen with Princess Kashmir.

Santa's Little Helper

Santa's Little Helper (born May 12, age 7), also known as No. 8 (his number in the dog race in 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire'), Suds McDuff (the name he changed to after becoming Duff Beer's mascot in 'Old Yeller-Belly'), and Santa's Stupid Name (Brian Griffin's nickname for him in 'The Simpsons Guy'), is the Simpson family's dog. Santa's Little Helper is one of few pets that have been with the Simpson's family the whole series. Homer was relying on a Christmas bonus to buy presents, but didn't get it. He was relying on this bonus because the jar of Christmas money that Marge accumulates for the family's Christmas treats was disposed of to pay for the removal of a tattoo that Bart got on his arm. Homer took the small amount of Christmas money he made working as Santa Claus at the Springfield Mall and bet it at the dog track. He had inside information on what dog was going to win, but instead bet on the 'long shot,' Santa's Little Helper, believing his name to be a sign. Santa's Little Helper finished last (apparently, it was the latest in a long string of last-place finishes), and his frustrated owner abandoned him. Homer and Bart brought him home, and everyone was so happy with him that it was a merry Christmas after all. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Sarah Wiggum

Sarah Wiggum (née Kanneke) is Clancy Wiggum's gentle and sweet wife and mother of Ralph Wiggum. She is always elated and in a good mood much like her son and even husband and is mainly seen in crowds, charity groups, bake sales, book clubs or with her family. She doesn’t speak all the time, but she acts very similar to both her husband and son combined and is in no way a one dimensional character. It’s clear both Clancy and Ralph can’t function without her, she is the glue that holds the Wiggum family together. Sarah somewhat sounds like her husband, but she has a more nasally southern like voice (except for 3 Episodes) Sarah's personality is mainly established by her actions and emotions and not primarily by her talking. She has a mix of characteristics and mannerisms to that of her Husband and Son, such as being somewhat piggish and dimwitted, as well as naïve, kind, relaxed, and loving, which makes for her being a loyal wife and mother, along with her and her Husband being a perfectly matched couple and functional family compared to some other Springfield families, and is shown consistently how well her and Clancy's marriage is and how much they love each other and care for Ralph.

Scott Christian

Scott Christian is a news anchor for Channel 6 News. Scott Christian is the far less famous co-anchor for Channel 6 News. Christian is most likely overshadowed by Kent Brockman because of his slow boring tone of voice and facial expression. He is also known to go out in the field as well and report on stories interviewing Springfieldians. Although his outward appearance makes him seem boring he indeed does enjoy partying with Springfield's other celebrities. In later episodes he is also occasionally seen reporting as anchor, often when Kent Brockman is freelance reporting. Christian has been seen on several different occasions to have drastically different hair colors. In most cases he is seen to have black hair, but several other times he has been seen with bright orange hair. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Scratchy

Scratchy is a cartoon cat from the show Itchy & Scratchy, an obvious parody of Tom and Jerry. His enemy is Itchy, a blue mouse. In almost every episode, Scratchy is killed, or, at least brutally injured by Itchy. He is a parody of the character Tom from Tom and Jerry. In an exaggeration of Tom's role as victim, Scratchy is a hapless victim who often doesn't want to harm Itchy yet suffers horrifically painful deaths at Itchy's hands, in contrast to the mutual slapstick rivalry with Tom and Jerry do. The Itchy & Scratchy Land is an Itchy and Scratchy theme park. It has parades with robots resembling Itchy and Scratchy which are supposed to be inoffensive and only attack themselves. However, due to Chaos Theory, the robots malfunction and proceeded to turn on their masters. While on vacation, the Simpsons were attacked by a group of robots, until they used the cameras flashes to short circuit them (the reason flash snaps are not allowed). (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Selma Bouvier

Selma Bouvier-Terwilliger-Hutz-McClure-Discothèque-Simpson-D'Amico (née Bouvier) is one of Marge's older chain-smoking twin sisters. She works at the DMV and possesses a strong dislike for her brother-in-law, Homer, although on extremely rare occasions she shows kindness towards him and seems to tolerate him. She seems to despise Homer slightly less than her twin sister, Patty Bouvier. Selma Bouvier was born two minutes before Patty. Due to a childhood bottle rocket accident, she lost her sense of taste and smell. Selma's favorite film actor was reportedly Troy McClure, to whom she was briefly married, before discovering that it was just a publicity stunt by McClure. McClure took it one step further by wanting to have a child with Selma to help his career. Selma was willing to live a sham for a while but broke it off when she realized that she couldn't bring a child into a loveless marriage. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Seymour Skinner

Walter Seymour Skinner (non-canonically born as Armin Tamzarian), better known as Seymour Skinner and Principal Skinner is a recurring character in The Simpsons. He is the principal of Springfield Elementary School, and a stereotypical educational bureaucrat. He struggles to control the crumbling school and is constantly engaged in a battle against its inadequate resources, apathetic and bitter teachers, and often rowdy and unenthusiastic students, Bart Simpson being a standout example. A strict disciplinarian, Skinner has an uptight, militaristic attitude that stems from his years in the United States Army as a Green Beret, which included service in the Vietnam War, where he achieved the rank of a sergeant, according to his rank insignia. As a result of his service in the Vietnam War, he is often plagued by horrible memories of his involvement via post-traumatic stress disorder, sometimes even happening at the most inopportune of times. It is also implied that he received a severe injury during the Vietnam War on his posterior to require a metal plate to be installed in it. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Sherri and Terri

Sherri and Terri Mackleberry are a pair of identical twin students of Springfield Elementary School. Terri is younger than Sherri by two seconds. They are in the same class as Bart, by Edna Krabbapel. They are a little bit strange and sometimes they speak in their own language. They will also not hesitate to berate Bart as seen in various episodes. No one knows whether one twin is Terri or Sherri. However, it has been hinted that they may actually be triplets and the third one is out for revenge, but this has yet to be confirmed on the show, and should be considered non-canon at present. Sherri and Terri have long, purple hair and always wear the same clothes. Their real names are Sherlyn and Theresa Mackleberry. (Born in September 2nd 1980) (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Sideshow Mel

Melvin Van Horne (also known as Sideshow Mel) is Krusty's current sidekick on The Krusty the Clown Show, after Sideshow Bob. When he is not in character, Mel speaks in a grandiose English/Shakespearean/British accent and owns a lot of poodles. He is a recurring character in The Simpsons and a minor antagonist in The Simpsons Movie. Mel joined the cast of the Krusty the Clown Show to replace Sideshow Bob, who was sentenced to prison for attempting to frame Krusty for armed robbery. Sideshow Mel uses a slide whistle to communicate on camera. When not in character, Mel speaks in a grandiose English/Shakespearean accent and owns many poodles. His main accomplishment so far has been successfully removing Mr. Smithers from suspicion of having shot Mr. Burns. Off-screen, Mel is generally very eloquent, educated, poetic and intelligent, with a beautiful singing voice - it is implied that as with Sideshow Bob before him, his true talents are wasted on Krusty's show. He attended Cornell University. When Lisa Simpson won the 'Entertainer of the Year Award,' it was revealed that Melvin also won the award previously for his portrayal of Biff in Death of a Salesman, but his desire to keep his stardom eventually led him to become the sidekick he is today. He was once forced to conduct an orchestra of kazoo-playing monkeys. When he pleaded with Krusty to not force him to do it, Krusty simply shouted at him to 'shut up and conduct'.

The Yes Guy, possibly named Frank Nelson-Type, but normally referred to as 'That Annoying Guy Who Always Says 'Eeeh-Ye-e-e-es?' or That Jerk That Goes ''Eeeh-Ye-e-e-es?', and sometimes referred to as 'The Obnoxious Yes Guy' by Homer, is a resident of Springfield. He is known for bellowing “Eeeh-Ye-e-e-es?!” in a rising inflection, and appears to be highly eccentric in both his speech and appearance. When Homer asked the Yes Guy why he talked like that, Yes Guy responded with, “I had a stro-o-oke!”. He is often seen working at Costington's department store, and is apparently on good terms with Mr. Costington. When Lisa was put on trial for teaching fellow students about Darwin, Yes Guy was juror number twelve. He also once worked as an ice cream truck driver and gave Bart some free ice cream. Apu considers the Yes Guy to be very, very funny.

During the call, he used his catchphrase (and a 'No' version of it) several times. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Todd Flanders

Todd Homer Flanders is the youngest son of Ned and Maude Flanders and a stepson to Edna Krabappel. He is the most impressionable and youngest member of the Flanders family. He wears brown shoes, bluish-green shorts, a pink polo shirt and sports the 'Devil's Curly Hair'. Todd is very impressionable, more so than Rod, his brother. In one episode, Todd himself starts to curse. An example would be after Todd heard Homer cursing, he had said 'Hell, no' and 'I said I don't want any damn vegetables' at the dinner table. When Moe Szyslak loses his temper at Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag restaurant, Todd responds with 'Ow, my freaking ears!'. Due to relentless sheltering by his parents, whenever Todd comes into contact with anything outside his family and their pious ways, such as the time he and Rod were tricked into eating a Pixy Stix by Bart Simpson, he turns nasty, telling his older brother to 'go to hell, zit-face', much to the delight of Bart . He is often the only one of the Flanders' to question his faith, much to the chagrin of Ned. He typically dresses in shorts and on some occasions wears a floppy 'newsboy' cap. After the death of Maude in a freak accident caused by Homer Simpson, Rod and Todd became somewhat withdrawn and even more religious; when Ned married Edna Krabappel, however, they began to act more like normal children. Both boys also spied on Bart and Lisa being bathed in the backyard of the Simpsons house, though they tried to deny it upon being spotted. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Troy McClure

Trodden 'Troy' McClure is a cheesy B-movie actor who had fallen on hard times. He was often seen shilling for shoddy products or hosting questionable shows. He appeared from Season 2 until Season 10. Since then, Troy along with two other Phil Hartman characters were retired due to his death. McClure was a stereotypical Hollywood has-been, reduced to appearing in low quality films and television presenting jobs. During the early seventies he had a highly successful acting career, but it had since become worse. He often appeared in short video clips seen on television or in a public place. He often was shown presenting educational videos and infomercials. When introducing anything that he does, McClure lists projects that he has previously done with the phrase 'Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such [films, educational videos, voice overs, etc.] as...' and will mention two or three titles of a similar subject to that of the current performance he is giving.

Üter Zörker

Üter Zörker is an obese exchange student from Germany. Despite not being fully characterized, and obese, Üter is a good-natured boy. He has a huge passion for eating unhealthy food, especially chocolate and candy, and can often be seen alone eating sweets, both at school and on the school bus. In a Treehouse of Horror segment, he actually ate flavored wax. It is an ongoing joke during the series that he is dead, though his death has not been canonically confirmed, similar to South Park’s Kenny McCormick. He is a player on the Kwik-E-Mart Gougers Peewee Hockey League Team. Üter also enjoys flirting with Lisa Simpson and sometimes tries to befriend Bart. He enjoys watching German football and also seems to be a sci-fi enthusiast; as he was seen attending the Bi-Monthly-Science-Fiction-Convention. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Waylon Smithers

Waylon Joseph Smithers, Jr., better known as Mr. Smithers, Waylon Smithers or simply Smithers, (born December 25) is a recurring character on The Simpsons. He is also a minor character in The Simpsons Movie. Smithers is Mr. Charles Montgomery Burns's deeply devoted personal assistant, executive, and self-proclaimed best friend. Burns, however, rarely views Smithers as worth any sort of genuine warmth or care, and much of the humorous dynamic between the two characters comes from this tension. Early on in the series, it was established that Smithers has a powerful crush on Burns. Smithers is the highest-profile gay character on the series; he officially came out in the episode 'The Burns Cage', although most people in Springfield (and fans of the show) were well aware before this. Smithers is generally portrayed as a nerd, someone awkward, uptight, and fragile. He is allergic to bee stings and has hypothyroidism, both of which can kill him. He is also lactose-intolerant. He has Springfield's largest collection of Malibu Stacy dolls. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Wendell Borton

Wendell Borton (also known as Wendell Queasly) is a student at Springfield Elementary School. Wendell is an albino boy who is a classmate of Bart Simpson in Mrs. Krabappel's fourth grade class. He is often seen playing with classmates such as Richard and Lewis, and is also good friends with Martin Prince, who helped him with his election as class president against Bart. He is considered one of the nerds of the school along with Martin, Database and several others, making him a constant and easy target of Nelson and other bullies; however, he might also have some run-ins with the school rules, as he was seen in detention. Wendell was also one of the children who become stranded on the island with his fellow Model UN Club colleagues. His skin color sometimes changes to yellow in the background, such as in 'Little Girl in the Big Ten', in which he is punched in the stomach by Kearney for lunch money. When the Simpson family get a new trampoline, he's among the kids invited to their place to jump on it, but the trampoline turns out to be hazardous and several kids end up getting hurt, including Wendell. At one point, he falls and exclaims 'My arm!'. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)
