Default Homer Simpson named best TV/Film character of past 20 years.
Homer Simpson has been named the greatest TV and film character of the last 20 years, according to a Entertainment Weekly survey.

The cartoon character, best known for his love of eating, beat schoolboy wizard Harry Potter to the top slot.

People relate to Homer "because we're all secretly propelled by desires we can't admit to," creator Matt Groening told the US magazine.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, came third.

In fourth place was Tony Soprano from US drama series The Sopranos, followed by comic book villain The Joker, played by late Australian actor Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

Other famous characters which were included in the top 10 were Rachel from Friends, Johnny Depp's Edward Scissorhands and Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw from Sex And The City and cartoon character Spongebob Squarepants rounded out the list.

Um what?

Clearly these idiots are forgetting about Eric Cartman and more importantly the best most funniest, most legendary animated TV Character to ever come on our screens...























Randy Marsh!







The Simpsons - Epic Fail nowadays.
South Park - Epic Win.

Randy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Homer.

Even though the Simpsons is ruining itself, you cannot dispite Homer Simpson. The guy deserves it. As much as I love Randy Marsh and Eric Catman, they don't come close in terms of satire or cultural impact.

Really?

Around what year?

South Park could end very soon, the contract expires after the next series and I dont think they will extend it tbh, so if SP ends along with TS, well be left with.. *shivers* Family Guy
