@TheSimpsonsTheory Are in the Facebook group OBSCURE SIMPSONS CHARACTER?
Another one's been infected, doc.
"I'm the only 36 year old that can pass for 10." - Martin Prince
Nope
💀
Yes handsdown, after that episode there isn't a question.
Can't wait for the loser to comment on this being like "that episode wasn't canon 🤓🤓🤓"
You mean Reggie
I'd give Moleman the nod for biggest punching bag, mainly because his fall from grace (beloved mayor to town joke) makes the suffering he endures feel even worse.
I forgot about that! Yeah, it’s definitely darker with lore
he is also the only one who is constantly killed, every other one isn’t harmed physically but he is killed multiple times over…
@@bostonrailfan2427so is he the kenny mccormick of Simpsons or no?
@@linathecutie he is exactly who inspired the creation of Kenny…
Yep
Each age group has their own.
Kid characters = Millhouse
Adult characters = Moe
Senior characters = Hans moleman
I'd also put Gil and kirk in the biggest losers category rather than biggest punching bag tho
Sorry, but Hans is not an elder.
He's around Homer's and Moe's age. 31
HANS MOLEMAN,
Moe deserves to be in the biggest losers category alongside them, his issues are more psychological than any other and he fails at anything he does except bartending
That's a joke
@@adrianwoodruff1885 that was just in 1 episode though
Sideshow Mel. Wife sleeps with other men, has illegitimate son(s?), literal punching bag for Krusty, and he has resorted to sleeping with a robot fox.
I never considered Mel but now that you mention it he definitely is a punching bag
@@TheSimpsonsTheoryyou should rank all adult cartoons you watched or something about cartoon Network or nickelodeon they suck now
Ned can kinda be a bit of a punching bag too. He's tormented by his neighbour, lost both his wives, his business, has a tense relationship with Reverend Lovejoy, and is constantly challenged by his faith in multiple episodes. Yet he remains a sorta Pollyanna character, even biting back when pushed (i.e. the Boz episode).
Tense relationship? Are you refering to how Ned is oblivious to how Lovejoy secretly can't stand Ned or has the dynamic changed and I missed out on that?
@@scifiguy9000 The former yeah.
@@Cereja-Lua Ah okay. I nearly thought 'wait, was there an ep where Lovejoy and Flanders fell out recently'?
Ned Flanders is one of the biggest punching bags due to one character, Homer Simpson 😂
Frank Grimes is definitely different from anyone else on the list. While some of them come down to turning into gags or behind the eightball as the plot dictates, Frank is designed for the most brutal (and early) self satire the show has ever put itself through. He was meant as a commentary on how Homer became the show's star since season 3 and how so many episodes since then had him stumble onto lucky situations and how the audience constantly roots for him despite the fact he should never be a role model. Frank is a hard working underdog who struggled in life, someone who in real life you'd root for, but he's driven towards jealousy, bitterness, and finally madness by Homer's constant stupidity. At least on his end, without getting to know him. And other than a few misunderstandings caused by Homer, the rest of the coworkers don't antagonize him until he has that grudge. The reason we aren't supposed to like the character or even say that he's completely right about everything (he is) is because he hates the guy we're supposed to love. That said, Skinner isn't on the list? He's apparently even more of a doormat than Flanders.
Agree. The ironic thing is that earlier seasons portrayed Homer as the down-on-his-luck underdog. He never had the extreme levels of bad luck Grimes did, but the show emphasized he was constantly struggling at life. Grimes's dislike of Homer was basically mirrors Homer's original dislike of Ned Flanders (before it was changed to Ned's overbearing religiousness). As for Skinner, I'd say he doesn't kicked around by life in general (though he went through a lot in Vietnam) it's more like he's a punching bag for a few select people: his mother, Superintendent Chalmers and Bart. Although for Bart I think it's questionable since Skinner causes Bart almost as much grief as Bart causes him and they also have moments where they get along.
@philw3039 "that picture was taken moments before I was stabbed in the back... during the Bob Hope show." ( I probably got that quote wrong; it's been awhile.)
I have trouble rooting for adult animated sitcom characters, just mainly because their existence doesn't matter. Like not even they care. Death only matters in family guy, and only when the writers decide that its the dog that dies. but then he comes back anyways.
The lack of continuity between episodes is really the kicker for me. I love funny people, but i have no love for funny people with amnesia.
They tend to sell the same old joke over and over. And nearly 30 seasons later, its hard not to see why
Poor Ol' Grimey
IMO Grimes is a poke at the "smart people" audience who can relate to the "I did all this work, but I have utter contempt for my slack-jaw yokel co-workers who do everything to avoid work". Things are never that black and white, but having worked in an "escalations" help desk at a call center, it became immediately obvious how many employees do fake-it-till-you-make-it competency and just repeatedly hand off work that is "hard" to someone else given that option. As long as your KPI (Key Performance Indicators) are good, nobody cares how poor your actual work is.
I would not agree that Homer has life set to easy mode, but I would agree that if the Power Plant was run competently (with no billionaires), Homer would have never been hired, and nor would most of the people we see at the power plant. In a real world, "Homer" would likely be working at the Kwik-e-mart or as the greeter at Sprawl-mart, and Marge would be the one making money (as she has proven to be too honest for both Law Enforcement and Real Estate, despite not being trained in either.) I actually think Marge, had she not been pigeon-holed to "Housewife", would probably do well just writing books, as that would let the show runners to keep letting her stay in her role.
I’m torn between Moleman or Ol’ Gil. Moleman always seems to be met with some form of terrible misfortune, then death and only to be reincarnated and to suffer the same fate over and over again.
Ol’ Gil seems to have a severe lack of confidence and whenever he is met with some form of fortune, he gets beaten down another peg.
Gil has confidence, just terrible luck…he always looks on the bright side and tries hard but luck is against him
Gil is extreamly socially awkward while moleman is just struck by pure bad luck.
0:29 I think it’s Hans Moleman, he’s always called off in the shell, whether it’s in the cannon episodes, or non-canon
Moe being a fan of the *Atlanta Falcons* definitely makes him a good candidate for the show's biggest punching bag. We are not a fortunate group
Bart should maybe get a section here. He wasn't a punching bag in the show's golden age, but in recent seasons he's basically become the Meg/Zoidberg/Klaus of the show
Lisa is much more of a punching bag and scapegoat than Bart
@@AugustoSpiller I'd say Milhouse has them both beat as the whipping boy. Nerdy unpopular loser who gets picked on by everyone and after years of therapy still wets his bed.
@@AugustoSpiller You can kinda make a case for all the Simpsons being punching bags at certain times. Maggie is maybe the exception.
@@philw3039Yep! Marge was the White sheep of the present Bouvier family, Lisa has no real friends(No offense, Janey), Bart always gets into detention, Grampa gets left alone and of course, Homer is the biggest butt monkey of the family.
16:10 this made me laugh because while it was showing Kirk getting beat up, in the background, Hans Moleman got beat up
Kid Gorgeous was the biggest punching bag before he became Kid Presentable.
😂😂
He was still a punching bag then on his way to becoming Kid Gruesome.
Well, if you want to be extremely literal about the whole thing...
Grimes accidently KILLING himself, was insane. they showed the whole thing. Gil and Moe probably tie for being the biggest punching bags because they probably wish they were dead.
Biggest loser: Gil
Biggest punching pag: Hans Moleman
Agree
I would argue that Homer laughing at Hans Moleman getting hit by a football was him being mean to him, moleman submitted the film so he probably wanted people to laugh at it lol Homer is the only character I can think of who even acknowledges him and likes him “it’s like kissing a peanut!”
Plus, he had a bowling alley over top of him and another one underneath him🎳🎳🎳
Wow!
I’ve gotta go with Ralph Wiggum. He is a little off, no one in school respects him, Lisa puts up with him at best and the bullies have a field day with him
But still, he seems happy most of the time 😊
@@waltergilman3998A case could be made that his eternal optimism is due to being mentally off
Really interesting video. Only thing I would say (depending on your definition) think Edna K and Selma got some kicking from the writers too. But if I had to pick from this group... I'd probably say Gil (incidentally The Apartment is another great example of the Jack Lemmon archetype too)
I can relate to the first guy. Nothing has been handed to me, I have seen my friends get pretty privilege or be more lucky. I can never bet or gamble because I already know I won't win. So yeah, it is frustrating and then being around Homer or in reality, feeling like an NCP or just a part of someone story is frustrating
I I think both sides do have a point:
You can be on Homer's side, since he did try to make peace, inviting Frank to dinner. Bury the hatchet, as they say.
You can also understand Frank's frustration, knowing the Safety Inspector is a dope who has no idea what he's doing.
Many of us would probably be put off by someone like Homer in real life. At work, or somewhere else.
Frank Grimes was never going to be happy living in a place like Springfield. 😂 😬Imagine him living in Quahog, instead
Punching bag for life itself, Nelson. Tragic and sad. He just tries desperately to punch back.
Great video as always. But i think Frankie the Squealer should be on the list. This guy been tortured, killed, tortured and killed by mafia
Old Gil can't get a break, but Hans Moleman gets more airtime
Wonderful video as always, Lydia, thank you! Gil definitely deserves to be up there, but I'm more inclined to go with Moleman just because Gil had a tendency to screw over the people who show him kindness (mainly when the Simpsons allowed him to move in). As a result, it feels like even when he doesn't run into bad people who take advantage of him, he will take advantage of others which kinda explains why no one wants to help him either.
Old Gil.
"Boy, old Gil is eating food tonight!"
"Ladida "🎵
I would love to see a treehouse of horror episode focused on Gil in a plot similar to William Foster from Falling Down or Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver.
From Cracker Factor to Cracker Barrel: The Kirk Van Houten Story
Frank Grimes LOL
And great video as always 👍
That clip of milhouse saying WHAZZUUUUOAEIOOOUUOOIP!!!! is my favorite simpsons clip. 13:21
Got to be Mole man. Every time we see him its him suffering
agreed
Moleman's too Hardcore be considered a punching bag, he reminds me of that Sabaton song 'The Unkillable Soldier' which about real life soldier Lieutenant GeneralSir Adrian Carton de Wiart who served in the Boer War and both World Wars; Adrian like Moleman survived horrific injuries and several brushes death only to return later on.
5:09 "through no fault of his own" ...usually.
Theres absolutely no way it can be anyone but Gil. Which is saying alot when one literally has a running gag of dying.
The one thing that people forget is that Van Houten is that it is in the Simpsons family tree so you can say Milhouse is indeed a Simpson
I think moe truly deserves happiness
He does have a sad life but doesnt he also commit lots of SA and kidnappings? All of it implied ofc but i kinda feel like moes sleeping in the bed he made for himself. Hes and ugly hate filled man, unlike poor moleman who just wants to live his life but always gets downtrodden.
Random moe quote: “where do i wanna take the escorts? How about org**sm-ville.”
I'd say Sideshow Mel is more of a loser,he has to put up with Krusty hurting him both
physically and
emotionally, his wife left him for Krusty, his own children think he's lame, and he can't find love to save his life
5:17 “-And is it funny? Yeah!”
-Lydia, 2023
Frank Grimes and his son Frank Grimes Jr.
Nah not really. They were only in 1 episode each and they're the ones who treated the world like their emotional punching bag
Cruel as it is, one of my all-time favourite Simpsons moments is Kirk removing his repossessed trousers on the lawn. Brilliantly stupid!
I do believe out of all of them, Martin Prince has actually been punched far more.
For the simpson’s biggest punching bag I had to think but your right it is Gil knowing this man in the Simpsons everything came rolling down to him like a bad luck of a streak well I do say yes on him being the punching bag I also say he also has had a bad luck streak on the Simpsons considering how much he’s lost
The Simpson's Theory sexy Simpson-fied avatar damn near sold me on downloading Raid Shadow's Legend lol
5:03 “I love that clip.” -Lydia, 2023
This video is so amazing and so funny. I do think the biggest punching bag is Ralphie. I do know he might not count but I feel like it's Ralph So it works.
He was beaten up by both Boy Lisa and Girl Lisa
You Missed Out Principal Skinner & Uter!
yknow while watching this i expected Flanders to be at least on the list and id pick him as the biggest punching bag
Moe is less of a punching bag but a sleazy bar owner who gets a lot of respect and love
Amazing video keep it up can’t wait to see what’s next. You excited for this years treehouse of horror episode?
It’s got to be Mulhouse he gets made fun of by the person that he calls his best friend
The biggest punching bag in this world is Zoidberg. Poor guy really doesn’t deserve it
Is it Hans Mole man? Because he has the funniest and saddest luck. Great vid.
I would give it to Gil with Moe Sizlack being a close second..
I will die on this hill- it’s mole man… or, mole men?
Simple question: for Hans Moleman, is he the simpsons version of south park’s early seasons characterization of Kenny?! Dan aka…
Gil was the first to come to mind for me. Though Grimey is a close second, just due to the fact that he really died for good (Though I appreciate your argument about him basically doing it to himself).
Very cool video Lydia! 😎 Keep up the awesome content! Also has your bf or others every made references to the Skyrim game where on of the best companion you can get is also named Lydia!??
The Simpsons? Biggest punching bag? It's The Fox Network!
I feel like Gil filled the void left behind by Lionel Hutz (RIP Phil Hartman). I fact, I think Gil's first episode (Realty Bites) was Hutz's last.
What if Moleman. Is secretly Deadpool? Always dies stupid. Comes back. There is a multiverse of molemen.
Frank grimes is the only one that know how to run a nuclear power plant
( He snaps he's not a punching bag)
Every person in the intro video I was like “oh yeah actually he is, oh wait he is, he is, he is.” Loads of punching bags that slip under the radar 😅
Your videos are awesome❤
I agree with you, Lydia I think it Hass to be Gil. great idea for a video. I love how you broke this all down!
The Simpsons Theory (aka Lydia Loves Timelines), you should make a DeviantArt web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut and a DevinantArt web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut.
I got the idea for this web comic after reading AlexJMontes's Nicktoons Unite comic off of DeviantArt.
The plot for The Simpsons Theory (aka Lydia Loves Timelines)'s webcomic adaptations of Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut and Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut will be the same as both episodes will be the same as both episodes, but with the following changes:
In the web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut, Tweek and Craig are sitting together.
Kenny's family, Butters, Pip, and Dougie appear in the web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut
The web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut has a subplot where Stuart McCormick (Kenny's dad), Kevin McCormick (Kenny's brother), and Karen McCormick (Kenny's sister) rush a pregnant Carol McCormick (Kenny's mom) to the hospital after her water breaks.
The web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut has a scene where Butters, Pip, and Dougie audition for the role of Kenny in America's Most Wanted's re-enactment. Unfortunately, neither Butters, Pip, nor Dougie got the role.
The web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut adds a scene where Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny help Carol McCormick give birth to her newborn child.
Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Butters are depicted with 5 fingers in various scenes in the webcomic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut. However, Kenny's skeleton depicts with him with 4 fingers like in the episode.
In the web comic adaptation of Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut, Kenny dies wearing his surgical scrubs.
Martin can't be the biggest punching bag because he is queen of summertime.
Hans Moleman did get to hang out with Metallica so i think he won at least a little bit
Gill is definitely the biggest punching bag
Moleman, Gil or Kirk Van Houten would be my top 3.
I'm happy they brought back Maya. After all these years, Moe deserved a little happiness that isn't taken away at the end of the episode.
Üter seems to be a pretty big punching bag everytime we see him. Just a poor exchange student getting bullied or beaten by Civil War reenactors.
Gull is definitely the one who is Springfield's most punching bag, but he's the most sympathetic one out of the bunch, I can't say the same for Kirk.
Honourable mention skinner though that guy gets bullied by everyone
Old Gill and moll-man
Moleman and Gil
I mean it's got to be Gill. If not first, he must be second.
Pretty sure it's Gil. He's not even playable in Tapped Out, and gets fired from a million jobs.
I like how you put a sponsorship in the Frank Grimes section.
Would have been funnier for ol' Gill
As he's literally a Salesman 😅
I think it’s Kirk. The thing that keeps Gil from winning this in my mind is his tenacity. The man is so hopelessly unlucky and/or incompetent but just never gives up… Kirk just sucks 😂
Not the dank Moe, not the dank!
Moleman I'd say overall takes the prize. Gil probably has to go through the most crap. Grimey has the harshest backstory. Moe goes through the most heartbreak. But Moleman is the most pathetic. I feel like everyone else on the list at least has some agency, like we at least see them _try_ to turn things around for the better but Moleman always just feels totally helpless and resigned to his fate. Worse, nobody even really seems to realize Hans Moleman is even a person. Homer laughing at him getting hit in the groin with a football is actually a highlight for Moleman because it's one of the few times someone actually acknowledges his existence. Moleman exists purely to suffer and we love him for it.
At least when Gil dies he comes back. Just another way the universe hates Grimey.
At least Moleman is the king of the Mole People
My other nominees are scratchy and groundskeeper willie
Gil gunderson probably is the biggest punching bag I’m guessing
That thumbnail was sick
i think its either moleman or Old gill, both suffer constantly, but they are 2 very different characters
Didn’t Titanic used to have a rapping dog in it?
First thought was hans moleman
I like to consider Lionel hutz a punching bag, he doesn’t get beaten around to much but it still happened
Alcohol has ruined Hans Moleman's life. He's only 31 years old!!
Martin Prince and Hans Moleman
I think when talking about punching bags I think Lisa desperately tried to save a city but even her own dad said nah fam nobody listens
Fun fact: Grimes is acting like homer but he fell to a toxic waste in power plant and died.
I just realized I am literally Gil and Kirk
Scratchy would that count
Moleman and millhoes😂
Not sure if he's the biggest punching bag, but by far my favorite punching bag is Moleman. Has anything good ever happened to him?
Before watching this video, my guess was Homer Simpson since he's been the butt of jokes the longest.
Poor Millhouse and Gil.
I think the biggest punching bag is Lenny Moe Kirk and Milhouse Van Houten Martin Hans Moleman and Gil Gunderson 😎👍🇸🇪
Flanders
What about Grandpa Simpson, mister smitgers and snowball
