Dr Marvin Monroe

Dr. Marvin Monroe was a local counselor who was for a long time considered to have passed on, until he returned, revealing to have 'been very sick.' Homer sold the family TV after seeing an ad for Dr. Monroe's Family Therapy Center during a boxing match at Moe's. The ad claimed 'family bliss or double your money back'. The Simpson family was asked to complete a series of tests, including drawing your worst fear of which everyone drew Homer, except Homer himself who drew a random doodle. Unable to reach the Simpson family, Monroe turned to the shock therapy method: the Simpsons were strapped in chairs with electrodes attached to them, and controls which they could use to shock other family members. However, it got out of hand and the whole town lost power. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Dr Nick Riviera

Dr. Nicholas 'Nick' Riviera M.D., better known as Dr. Nick, is a recurring character on The Simpsons and a cameo character in The Simpsons Movie. Dr. Nick Riviera is a quack physician who studied at dubious medical schools, although he claims to be 'just as good as Dr. Hibbert M.D.'. He is inventor of Juice Loosener and Sun & Run. He is also a doctor in charge of vocal chord scraping for Mr. Burns in his weekly treatment to cheat death. Although he seemed to be killed in The Simpsons Movie by a giant shard of glass, he appears in several episodes afterwards, and it was eventually confirmed by Al Jean that the character had not been killed off as many had thought.

Drederick Tatum

Drederick Earl Tatum is a former boxer who resides in Springfield. Heavily based on Mike Tyson, Tatum is known for his extremely large size, his success at boxing (former Olympian and World Heavyweight Champion), his ever-present lisp, and a long and troubled history of violent outbursts and incidents. He seems to have retired from boxing in recent years. Drederick Tatum was a former Olympic Gold medalist, first became World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Watson in the heavily promoted 'Bout to Knock the Other Guy Out!' He grew up in Springfield, recalling that that town was a dump (since he once said this: 'If you ever see me there again you'll know I really [bleeped]-up bad'). He later served time in prison after pushing his mother down the stairs. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Duffman

Duffman, currently known as Puffman, was the mascot and spokesman for the Duff Beer company. His real name is either Barry Duffman or Barry Huffman. The idea of Duffman came about after H.K. Duff's grandfather repurposed a fascist icon because he could not get the rights to Woody Woodpecker. There are actually multiple people who play Duffman. (Others being Sid, Joe, and Larry) Duffman is an athletic and smooth-talking corporate personality who wears blue and red tights, a red cape, white gloves, and the Duff logo emblazoned across his chest. The ensemble features a red hat with the Duff logo on it, dark sunglasses, and a 'utility belt' of beer cans around his waist. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Eddie

Edward 'Eddie' Finnerfield is one of the two police officers who aid Chief Wiggum on almost every mission. Unlike Lou, he is rather unintelligent, but is still smarter than Wiggum is. Eddie is quite silent, even though he is always there at every case with Lou and Chief Wiggum. Eddie used to be a bit more chopsier and talked more than he does now. This is lamp-shaded in 'Treehouse of Horror XV' where it is shown that Eddie rarely speaks because Wiggum cut his tongue out. While not nearly as smart as Lou, he has shown some level of competence, as during the Mr. Burns shooting, Eddie was the one to propose the idea to Chief Wiggum that they run DNA tests on the suit Mr. Burns was wearing to identify the shooter (an idea that Chief Wiggum barely came up at the same time while asleep).

Edna Krabappel

Edna Krabappel was a recurring character and a 4th-grade teacher at Springfield Elementary School up until her unspecified death in 2013. She lived at 82 Evergreen Terrace, but later moved to 744 Evergreen Terrace, after marrying Ned Flanders, the widower of Maude Flanders. Outside school, Edna was portrayed as a typical mid-life single adult, heavy smoker, gambler, and occasional solitary drinker trying to find the right man. She had numerous affairs with many Springfieldians; her recurring choice always being Principal Skinner, usually out of pity rather than affection. From Season 23 until her retirement in Season 25, Edna Krabappel was married to Ned Flanders. She was 41 years old and she was born in 1949. Al Jean announced Edna would be retired due to the death of Marcia Wallace (her voice actress) on October 25, 2013. The process began in 'Four Regrettings and a Funeral' when 'We'll really miss you Mrs. K.' was shown on the chalkboard gag during the title sequence, which premiered nine days after Marcia's death. In the Season 25 episode 'The Man Who Grew Too Much', Ned and Nelson mentioned that they miss her. Her passing was indicated by Ned wearing a black armband, but was never shown on-screen.

Elizabeth Hoover

Elizabeth Gunderson, B.Ed. (née Hoover; also known as Miss Hoover) is a recurring character on The Simpsons. She is a second-grade teacher at Springfield Elementary School. Miss Hoover has been worn down by her years in the public school system and is therefore unable to retain an enthusiastic attitude during her job, although she does show premises of it on some occasions. As much as Hoover is concerned for the future of the children (as opposed to Edna, who doesn't seem to care the slightest), she hates her job and seems overwhelmed with stress, seeking whatever remedies she can to alleviate it. Hoover is often seen smoking even while teaching, even under a 'No Smoking' sign in the assembly hall. She also occasionally drinks on the job. Once she was granted tenure, she willingly turned over her teaching responsibilities to Ralph Wiggum. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Fat Tony

Don Marion Anthony D'Amico, better known as Fat Tony, was the boss of the Springfield Mafia. He was a stereotypical Italian mafia boss. He had been behind several of Springfield’s criminal enterprises. His rackets included illegal gambling, cigarette and fireworks smuggling, bootlegging, fraud, and selling false IDs. He had also been seen bribing and making secret deals with Mayor Quimby. Fat Tony seems to have a streak of sensitivity in both his personal and business life, which, for example, in the mafia’s brief cameo in the episode 'Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington,' it’s revealed that Fat Tony loves the movie “The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,” as revealed by Johnny when the latter tells Louie, who asked in annoyance on why they have to watch it on the mafia’s private jet, that “The Boss [has] got a thing for the Ya-Yas.” while watching the aforementioned film on their private jet, and seated near them watching the movie, Fat Tony, while sobbing to the movie despite his tough mafia guy exterior, tearfully asks himself “Why was I born a man?”, and then blowing his nose on a pizza slice he was eating instead of his own white handkerchief he carries in his jacket pocket.

Francesca

Francesca Terwilliger (née Vendetto) is Sideshow Bob's second wife. She is Italian and has a son named Gino. At first, she knew nothing of her husband's multiple murder attempts. When she does become aware, she helps Sideshow Bob try to kill the Simpson family. She and Gino, along with Sideshow Bob's mother, father, and brother attempted to have Bart incinerated to get revenge. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Frankie the Squealer

Frankie the Squealer is a married, low-level member of the Springfield Mafia and an associate of Fat Tony, then later, Fit-Fat Tony. Frankie is known, as his name suggests, for his indiscretion. His squealing was so uncontrollable that he even managed to rat himself out occasionally. He is also similar to the other mafia member, Jimmy the Snitch. It is implied that he often ends up tortured specifically to shut him up for his indiscretion: While being beaten by Legs and Louie in an attempt to get him to shut up, he tells them Fat Tony's real name is Marion, so they resume the beating. The Springfield Mafia, incompetent as they are, continue to retain Frankie's services, even as he continues to be attacked, kidnapped, and poorly treated for his apparent continuing problem with keeping secrets. Despite this, however, his uncontrollable urge to commit indiscretion has also aided the mafia as well, as he informed Legs and Louie of Homer Simpson as the culprit behind the shootings at the mafia summit while pursuing him with guns.

Gary Chalmers

Gary Chalmers III, better known as Superintendent Chalmers, is the superintendent of Springfield Elementary School alongside either seven or 13 other schools, and the father of Shauna Chalmers. Chalmers originally hails from Utica, New York, but has also mentioned that he comes from Queens, New York, Mexico (in a deleted scene) and then moved to Intercourse, Pennsylvania. He attended Ball State University and is a proud owner of a red 1979 Honda Accord (and later, a Camry, which Otto Mann promptly wrecks). In the episode 'How The Test Was Won', Seymour Skinner mentions that Chalmers has a daughter who he buys wrapping paper from. The episode 'What to Expect When Bart's Expecting' revealed that Shauna is his daughter. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Gil Gunderson

Gilbert Gunderson (usually referred to as Ol' Gil or just simply Gil) is an unsuccessful and unlucky businessman of Springfield. At the age of six, Gil was hired by his eight-year-old brother to run his sidewalk lemonade stand for the afternoon. By the end of the day, he had bankrupted his brother's business and drank all of the remaining inventory. Since then, Gil has not managed to hold down one job for longer than a few days. He kept his job at Red Blazer Realty for over twenty years by selling his own house to himself several thousand times. Eventually, the house was destroyed in the Great Springfield Flood of '99, and with no other sales prospects, he was fired. Gil has held many different jobs, usually involving sales, all of which he either eventually loses due to an inability to perform or make any sales or quits because something bad happens to him (for example, him being shot on his first day as a bank security guard). In almost every instance where it seems like he will succeed, it will almost certainly be ruined by the Simpsons. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Ginger Flanders

Ginger Flanders is Ned's Vegas wife whom he married after getting drunk while on vacation in Vegas with Homer. She and Amber were both cocktail waitresses. When Homer and Ned got drunk at Las Vegas, Homer married Amber and Ned married Ginger after they both had served them their alcohol at a restaurant located in the Nero's Palace casino. Amber and Ginger later dumped them at the desert because they tried to escape. After Maude is accidentally killed by Homer, he mentions the waitresses they married in Las Vegas. Ginger and Amber later went to Springfield to stay with their husbands. Ginger left him because Ned, Rod, and Todd were too good (they flushed her cigarettes down the toilet and refused to provide her with Irish coffee). (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Gino Terwilliger

Gino Underdunk Terwilliger is the toddler son of Sideshow Bob and Francesca Terwilliger. He appears almost exactly and speaks quite like his father, but with an Italian accent. His hair looks similar to Sideshow Bob's hair (resembling a palm tree). He looks like a toddler version of his father, but his feet are smaller. He also shares his father's hatred towards rakes and Bart Simpson. Gino was born in the Italian village of Salsiccia to Bob Terwilliger (a.k.a. Sideshow Bob, who sought a new life as mayor of the village) and Francesca Terwilliger. When Sideshow Bob's life was ruined by The Simpsons, he followed Sideshow Bob and Francesca as they tracked the Simpsons down in Rome. He, along with his mother, helped Bob to try to kill the Simpsons. After Krusty saves the Simpsons family, he chases a butterfly. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Gloria Jailbird

Gloria Jailbird (formerly Gloria Turley) is the wife of Snake Jailbird and the ex-fiancée of Mr. Burns. After spending Flag Day at a wealthy social gathering and a strip club, Mr. Burns finds Gloria, who is a cop at that time, ticketing his car and asks her out on a date. She accepts, so Homer Simpson helps Mr. Burns in his dates, and later, Snake Jailbird attacks a bowling alley, and kidnaps Gloria (who is his ex-girlfriend) and Homer. Snake takes Gloria and Homer to his hideout. He ties Gloria up. Though Gloria says she loves Burns, Snake vows he can change. Homer tries to escape, but instead sets Snake's house on fire. Snake and Homer get out and Burns runs in to save Gloria (who can't get out because she is tied to a chair; Gloria then saves Burns). When she thinks of Snake, Gloria breaks up with Burns and becomes Snake's girlfriend again. Later, she is seen visiting Snake in prison. Gloria also makes an appearance with Snake asking if Homer's 'condos' are in a school district, while her stomach looks bigger, suggested that she is pregnant with what is presumed as Snake's baby (while Snake questions why she should 'tell everybody'). She and Snake later get married. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Grampa Simpson

Abraham Jebediah 'Abe' Simpson II, commonly known as Grampa Simpson or simply Grampa, is a major recurring character in The Simpsons and a supporting character in The Simpsons Movie. He is the oldest patriarch of the Simpson family, husband of Rita LaFleur, ex-husband of the late Mona Simpson, father of Homer Simpson, Herbert Powell and Abbey, father-in-law of Marge Simpson and paternal grandfather of Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson. He is also the ex-boyfriend of Jacqueline Bouvier. Abe was a World War II veteran who was later sent to the Springfield Retirement Castle by Homer. He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Groundskeeper Willie

Dr. William 'Willie' MacDougal III (Scots Gaelic: Uilleam MacDhùghaill), also known as William Sean McLavel, G.K. Willington Esquire, and William MacMoran, best known as Groundskeeper Willie (Scots Gaelic: Fear-gleidhidh talmhainn Uilleam) is the groundskeeper and janitor of Springfield Elementary School and a minor character in The Simpsons Movie who's originally from Scotland. Willie's job is to supervise the children of the school during recess, and clean the halls. He is recognizable for his red hair and thick Scottish accent. He is often either a formidable enemy or an invaluable ally to Bart and Lisa Simpson; mostly, he has a strained relationship with Principal Seymour Skinner. Willie's either originally from the Scottish town of Kirkwall or a place called North Kilttown, which is likely a reference to the hamlet of Domaduir, near Kyle of Lochalsh. Willie is 45 years old.

Hans Moleman

Hans Moleman (also known as Ralph Melish, born August 2) is a mole-like man with extremely bad luck. He is best known for his 10-second short film Man Getting Hit by Football in 'A Star Is Burns'. There is a running gag in the series of him getting killed by various accidents, yet returning unharmed later on. Because of this, some fans refer to him as the original Kenny McCormick, or 'The Kenny of Springfield'. Moleman first appeared in the Tracy Ullman short 'Scary Movie' (without glasses) sleeping in the cinema, but wakes up when Bart screams. He was silent then. He looked different in that short, showing a prototype version of him. He was officially introduced as a speaking, unlucky character in the episode 'Principal Charming'; however, his driver's license listed his name as 'Ralph Melish'. He has cataracts and is almost entirely blind (which has severely impaired his reading ability). He carries a brown cane with him everywhere, which was once shown to contain a hidden sword.

Helen Lovejoy

Helen Lovejoy (née Schwartzbaum) is Reverend Timothy Lovejoy's judgmental and gossipy wife and the mother of Jessica Lovejoy. It is hinted that she is the godmother of Lisa and Bart Simpson. Though she can be rude at times, she is very kind to the people she loves and is almost always seen when we see the people of Springfield doing charity or community service. Helen can behave mean and gossipy and is part of a bowling team called The Holly Rollers with members Ned Flanders and Timothy Lovejoy Jr. and ex-member Maude Flanders (deceased) and (most likely) the leader of the Fleet-a-Pita club called the Investorettes with members Agnes Skinner, Luann Van Houten and ex-members Edna Krabappel (deceased), Maude Flanders (deceased) and Marge Simpson, whom the club kicked out in 'The Twisted World Of Marge Simpson'. Helen was often partnered with Maude Flanders as they protested against the 'evils' in Springfield. Her first line was in 'Life on The Fast Lane' and it was 'Marge? Marge Simpson. You remember me, don't you? I'm Helen Lovejoy the gossipy wife of the Minister.' Her catchphrase, 'Won't somebody please think of the children?' is used quite often but sometimes, they replace the word 'children' with a different word like in 'Thanksgiving of Horror', she says 'The Pilgrims! Won't somebody please think of the Pilgrims?'. Also, in 'Pulpit Friction', she says 'Why won't somebody blame the children?'. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Herbert Powell

Herbert Walter 'Herb' Powell is the former owner of Powell Motors in Detroit, Michigan. He is the biological son of Abe Simpson II and a carnival worker named Gaby, as well as the long-lost, seldom-seen paternal half-brother of Abbey and Homer Simpson. Ashamed out of what he did, Abe and Gaby took baby Herb to the Shelbyville Orphanage, where he was adopted by the Powell family. It wouldn't be until four decades later that Herb would be contacted by his half-brother Homer Simpson, where he learned who his biological family members were. When Herb was introduced, he was a successful but very lonely man. When Herb found out Homer was his long-lost half-brother, he was overjoyed. Upon meeting his Simpsons family for the first time, he made sure they felt right at home. He was very welcoming, charming, and friendly when they arrived and got along great with Marge and the kids. His relationship with Homer started off great but went downhill after the car he designed ruined his company. However, after he gained wealth again after Homer lent him his money, he forgave him and was happy to call Homer his 'brother', which was what both men had really wanted.

Herman Hermann

Herman Hermann, voiced by Harry Shearer, is the owner of Herman's Military Antiques. He dresses in military fatigues. Herman's not a very important and known person in Springfield, but he'll often participate in large mobs and crowds. He is shown to be an instigator, mainly because conflict at the roots of his military shop. Apparently, Herman bought one of Homer’s DJ pizza robots, which he later sold to a JJ Abrams film crew. In 'Homer Goes to Prep School', he appears as a member of the Preppers (People who believe society will end at any moment). He's also an insectivorian. Herman formerly had two arms. He told Bart that the other arm was lost by sticking it out of the window of a moving bus (hailing) and it was torn off by a truck driving in the other direction. It was also implied it was him, as Ms. Krabappel said not to do it because a kid once lost an arm that way, while on a bus. However, in To Cur, with Love, it was revealed that he stuck it out on a street while trying to hail a car, resulting in the arm being torn off by a passing dogcatcher truck driven by Chief Wiggum. It is similar to Hawaiian surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack while surfing by the beach, which occurred around the time the episode 'Treehouse of Horror XIV' aired.

Homer Simpson

Homer Jay Simpson (born May 12) is the main protagonist of the The Simpsons. He is the husband of Marge Simpson and father of Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson. Homer is overweight (said to be 240 pounds elsewhere), lazy, and often ignorant to the world around him. Although he has many flaws, he has shown to have great caring, love and even bravery to those he cares about and sometimes, even others he doesn't. His favorite color is blue, and he enjoys dancing, eating donuts, drinking, hugging, driving a sit-down arcade racer, playing the piano and horse riding. His favorite kiddie rides are 'Stuart Little', 'Barney Train' and 'Ride the Champion Mechanical Horse'. Homer works as a low-level safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in Sector 7G, although he is often incompetent and negligent towards his duties. He spends a great deal of his time at Moe's Tavern with his friends Barney Gumble, Carl Carlson, Lenny Leonard, and Moe Szyslak. At home, he can often be found sitting on the couch mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking Duff. Homer is also the only son of current Abe Simpson II and the late Mona Simpson, though he has two illegitimate half-siblings on Abraham's side. When provoked, he often strangles Bart for pressuring him. Even though he mutually hates his wife's sisters Patty Bouvier and Selma Bouvier, he played Selma's husband for her to adopt Ling and agreed to be the minister for Patty's intended homosexual marriage. As a result of this, Homer is her legal adoptive father. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Itchy

Itchy is the cartoon mouse from Itchy & Scratchy. He is a serial killer whose favorite victim is Scratchy. He almost always succeeds in killing Scratchy. There is only one known episode where Scratchy defeats him. Itchy first appeared in 'Itchy the Lucky Mouse in Manhattan Madness', in which only Itchy appears, without Scratchy, and Itchy kills an Irish man and Teddy Roosevelt. This was the very first of many episodes where he would appear. His ears resemble Mickey Mouse's, his name is like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's and he plays the role of Jerry from Tom and Jerry. In a parody of the view of Jerry as a villain, Itchy is depicted as a serial killer torturing and killing the innocent Scratchy, contrasting Jerry's mutual slapstick relationship with Tom (in most episodes Tom is pranked by Jerry only because he attacked Jerry in the first place). Itchy & Scratchy Land is an Itchy and Scratchy theme park. It has parades with robots resembling Itchy and Scratchy which are intended to only attack each other.. While on vacation, the Simpsons were attacked by a group of robots when they went berserk until the family realized that flash photography can damage them by scrambling their circuits. It is implied that flash photography is prohibited on the park for this reason. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Jacqueline Bouvier

Jacqueline Ingrid 'Jackie' Bouvier (née Gurney), occasionally referred to as Mrs. Bouvier or Grandma Bouvier, is the mother of Selma, Patty, Marge and Arthur Bouvier, the daughter-in-law of Pepe and Bambi Bouvier (nee Petitbois), the sister-in-law of Chester, Jojo, Herman and Charlene Bouvier, the maternal grandmother of Bart, Hugo (non-canon), Lisa, Maggie Simpson and Ling Bouvier and the mother-in-law of Homer Simpson, and the widow of the late Clancy Bouvier. She also had a sister named Gladys who died of a bowel obstruction. A family tree showing Jacqueline's known family members can be seen here. Jacqueline used to live with her husband and their daughters in a house in Springfield, where she first met Homer when he pretended to be Marge's prom date. Nowadays, she lives in the Hal Roach Apartments but was also seen living in a house near a lake when her family visited her on her 80th birthday. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Jacques

Jacques is a bowling instructor who pursued an affair with Marge Simpson in the episode 'Life on the Fast Lane'. Jacques offers to teach Marge Simpson to bowl after she receives a bowling ball for her birthday. He is captivated by Marge and slowly tries to woo her. While at brunch, Jacques finds the courage to ask Marge back to his apartment in Fiesta Terraces. Though this happens off-screen, he presumably ends up alone when Marge chooses to stick with Homer. It is unknown what happens to Jacques after this. Marge believed that his last name was 'Brunswick', because it was engraved on his bowling ball yet that was really only the brand of his ball. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Jake

Jacob Thomas 'Jake' Boyman (aka Toilet) is an alias that Lisa used to join the boys' side of Springfield Elementary School. At the time, the school was split up into boys' and girls' halves. As Jake, Lisa wears a T-shirt with an American football on it, glasses that hide her eyelashes and a brown wig that looks a bit like Elvis Presley's hairstyle. As Jake, Lisa quickly picked up the nickname 'Toilet', due to having toilet paper stuck to her shoe just after leaving the washroom. Although Jake initially had trouble fitting in with the other boys (and got beat up by Nelson), Bart helped him to become more accepted, after learning Jake's true identity. He (Jake) was forced to beat up Ralph in order to be like a boy but apologized afterwards. Then, he found many friends at school, including the bullies. Jake eventually won an award for his achievements in math. During the awards ceremony, when Jake went up on stage to accept the award, Lisa removed her disguise and revealed her true identity, saying that she had been Jake all along and shocking everyone by saying that the best math student in school was a girl.

Janey Powell

Janey (variously called Janey Powell in 1993, Janey Henderson in 2006, Janey Jackson in 2013, Jacqueline Jones in 2016) is Lisa Simpson's best friend. Janey is noted as 'Lisa's fair-weather best friend', and this is an accurate description. Though she is often seen hanging out with Lisa, at other times she teases her along with the other children for her misfortunes or idealistic views. (For example, when Lisa first decides to go vegetarian, Janey is one of the first to mock her for it, asking whether Lisa was planning to marry a carrot.) She is not nearly as intelligent or nerdy as Lisa, once blowing a bubble with chewing gum rather than engage in Lisa's current conversation. She has spent the night at the Simpsons' house, and Lisa is seen watching cartoons at her house on numerous occasions. She is also seen reading 'The Babysitter Twins' with Lisa. Janey is also seen to be concerned for Lisa's well-being, one is evident in Separate Vocations, when a depressed and sulky Lisa attempts to enter the girls', bathroom inhibited by rebellious fifth grade girls. She tries to warn Lisa in vain not to enter it, only for her to ignore Janey and enter the bathroom anyway. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Jasper Beardly

Jasper Theodore Beardsley is a resident of the Springfield Retirement Castle and is often seen around Springfield. He is Abe Simpson's friend. Jasper is a World War II veteran. Jasper also tried to avoid the draft by disguising himself as a woman and staying in Springfield to play in the local women's baseball league, along with his friend Abe, who was also avoiding the war. He has been a substitute teacher who confiscated everything made of tin (according to Lisa) and got his beard caught in the pencil sharpener. He also preceded Reverend Lovejoy as minister at the Simpsons' church in Springfield. Jasper's father was a legal immigrant from Ireland and his mother was an illegal Mexican immigrant, who was deported when Jasper was 11. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Jebediah Springfield

Hans Sprungfeld, better known as Jebediah Obadiah Zachariah Jedediah Springfield, was the purported historical founder of the town of Springfield and a murderous pirate. Hans Sprungfeld was born around the year 1774 to poor farmers in Axhandle, Virginia, where he learned various skills from his parents. Sprungfeld left his home and joined a merchant ship, where he became a pirate. Sprungfeld was most famous for attacking George Washington with an ax during an attempt to kill him in 1781 while he was stationed in Trenton, New Jersey. Washington handily fought Hans back, and, bested, Sprungfeld escaped back to sea. To hide his identity, Hans changed his name to Jebediah Springfield in 1796 and formed a town.

Jimbo Jones

Corky Jimmy 'Jimbo' Jones, also known as James, Jamesbo, and Hector Gutierrez, is a student and bully at Springfield Elementary, with Dolph Starbeam, Kearney Zzyzwicz, Nelson Muntz, and the Weasels. He is a sixth grader and has been held back multiple years. Jimbo was originally introduced in the episode 'The Telltale Head' by Bart as 'the worst kid in school'. He is the second-in-command of the bullies, being their leader when Nelson isn't around, not that Nelson has any interest in hierarchic systems. Jimbo has an on-and-off friendship with Bart Simpson that depends on how badly Bart is willing to behave and whether he has any lunch money or not. (Born in October 26 1973) (age) 16 (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Johnny Tightlips

Johnny Tightlips (born Giovanni Silencio), also known by his legal name, Jonathan Schmallippe,is a frequently appearing mobster and an associate of his old boss Fat Tony, as well as his new current boss, Fit-Fat Tony. Johnny is presumably in his 30s, and he works for the D'Amico Crime Family. He is a capo alongside Legs and Louie. He has a grandmother (Who he affectionately calls 'Granny') and mother. Although in 'Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge,” when Fat Tony asked Johnny how his mother is, he reticently exclaims and then says “Oo-whee, who says I have a mother?'. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)

Judge Constance Harm

Judge Constance Harm J.D. is a sadistic and unforgiving disciplinarian. She enjoys creating cruel and unusual punishments for defendants in her court, whether or not they’re even criminals. Usually Judge Snyder resolves court cases, but Judge Harm has mainly been used for handing down negative verdicts, such as sentencing a family member to serve a prison term. Harm is notorious for having a tougher than nails approach in how she runs her courtroom, and takes a dim view of people making personal remarks about her. For example, when Bart appealed a restraining order that Lisa had on him, he implied that Judge Harm had no sense of humor, and that was why she became a judge instead of finding a husband. Judge Harm indignantly retorted, 'I have a husband!', and extended the restraining order on Bart from 20 feet to 200 feet, after he asked whether this spouse in question was “blind and deaf”.

Kang Johnson

Kang Johnson is a major antagonist (alongside Kodos) of the series. He is a Rigellian from Rigel 7. He and his sister Kodos are continuously trying to take over Earth and are usually seen attacking Springfield. He usually appears in Treehouse of Horrors but either he or Kodos have been seen in other episodes such as 'The Springfield Files' and 'Gump Roast'. Kang and Kodos have a lot of space weaponry on hand and have their own spaceship. They speak the Rigellian language, which, by coincidence, is identical to English. Although they look identical, Kang has a deeper voice than Kodos. He is the featured character on the on the Season 14 DVD/Blu-ray box set as well as the iTunes cover. According to Kang on the Jerry Springer show, his hearing was advanced enough that not even being confined to a soundproof room was enough to mute out Homer and Springer's conversation before being formally introduced on stage.

Kearney Zzyzwicz

Kearney Matthew Zzyzwicz, Sr. (dʒiːz.wɪtʃ) is one of the school bullies of Springfield Elementary, hanging around with Nelson Muntz, Dolph Starbeam, Jimbo Jones, and the Weasels. He is of Polish descent and is a fifth grader. A running gag is that Kearney is much older than all of the other kids at Springfield Elementary School but has been held back from graduating for many years. Kearney's surname was revealed in a computer file in the 399th episode '24 Minutes'. It is often drawn to the viewer's attention that Kearney is much older than any of the other children at Springfield Elementary, and moreover, he doesn't seem to be ashamed of it. One of his random Level-Up lines in Tapped Out suggests that Kearney remains in school simply because he can't be bothered to pass as he says school is an easy place to procrastinate. He has been seen shaving in the school restrooms, smokes, has a driver's license, and owns an old-style Hyundai - Principal Seymour Skinner once attempted to pry off Kearney's hood ornament to replace the 'H' stolen from Superintendent Chalmers' Honda. He's also on the Church Council (along with Marge Simpson, Ned Flanders, Agnes Skinner, Helen Lovejoy, and Jasper Beardsley) and considers it an important part of the community, and is a member of the NRA, attending their meetings and practicing on their range, so presumably he legally owns a gun.

Kent Brockman

Kent Brockman, once known as Kenny Brockelstein (born as Brock Kentman) is a local TV news 'personality' for Channel 6. He hosts the Channel 6 weekday news (Scott Christian is the weekend news anchor and Kent's fill-in) as well as Smartline, a local current affairs show, and also Eye on Springfield, which focuses mostly on Springfield's entertainment news. He also is a failed musician who toys with the idea of being a math teacher. Brockman was known as Kenny Brockelstein early in his career, and he can be seen wearing the Hebrew Chai symbol as a gold medallion around his neck, suggesting Jewish ancestry. Interestingly, however, he also refers to the Book of Revelation, during an editorial in which he states women rebelling might lead to 'anarchy of Biblical proportions' (he is promptly cut off by the station and replaced with a 'Technical Difficulties' card depicting Brockman in a straitjacket). Revelation is in the New Testament, suggesting Brockman no longer observes Judaism. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)
