Homer's stupidity is just not funny any more.

Ralph was once a simple eight year old kid, he was funny as hell back then because of his naive questions and imagination.
Now he acts like he has a Bush Chromozone.

That Reality TV episode was not very funny.

Recently Moe has become a bit too, well unlike he used to be. It's not just his voice, which is getting deeper and deeper, but I don't know how to explain it, he's just not the Moe he used to be!

I wish I could vote for the lot, but I think the worst is Homers stupidity. It's just getting so boring, annoying, tiresome, and as far as anything could possibly be from funny.

I considered that, because Flanders is slightly starting to act Anti-Semestic.

I'll go with the Lisa vote, since she was shockingly un-voted-for.

^ I agree. I wish she was in that dammed tree sometimes.
You'd think you'd learn after destroying humanity twice in the Haloween Special's, would you.

I'll go with Lisa too. Her Don't-do-as-I-do-do-as-I-say attitude is annoying and shes such a bloody hypocrite. I hate the way she always tries to change things that no normal person could change. Shouldn't 8 years olds be playing with fire in the more literal sense?

Also questioning The character with Eric Idle's voice.
I so wanted to smack her and tell her to stand in the corner for disrespect.

All good choices, but I think I'll vote for Ralph, if only because it's something that a lot of other nerds don't touch upon.
Remember that Valentine's Day episode where Ralph had a crush on Lisa? That episode was so funny, and crazily enough, Ralph never acted like a retard. He was weird, and a little slow and immature for his age(the kind of kid who plays with his action figures for a few months after all the other kids stop), but he had a good heart.
There's something a little disturbing about how they turned him into a kid who is actually mentally disabled, and all the "hey, look at the retard" jokes they do.
Changing Flanders was also a mistake, if you ask me. And is it just me, or have Harry Shearer's voices become blander since, oh, season 10 or so? (whenever they had the voice actor's strike. I remember noticing it right after that)
Skinner and Dr. Hibbert seem to run together. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

I haven't watched any of the really recent episodes but the latest ones I've seen were already going down the drain. I lost interest pretty quickly and moved to Futurama. Recently Moe has become a bit too, well unlike he used to be. Last time I saw him he was quite annoying. It was funny when he was the grumpy bar owner. Now he's lusting after Marge (why?!?), and turning into a depressed 15 year-old in a dirty old man's body.

And what has happend to Wiggum?
He wasn't THAT Incompetent in the old days.

And now Wiggum Lou and Eddie are the only three policemen in the whole of Springfield. They actually made a joke about it in a very recent episode. It seems that everything is being simplified to a cartoonish, stylised level, to the point where everything is a parody of itself from the old classic episodes. Basically they are cutting out the 'filler' and only leaving the extreme stereotypes. Which is sad because one of The Simpsons original strengths was its incredible attention to detail and accurate reconstruction of reality with a Greoning twist.

Homer evolved from a lovable oaf in seasons to a dumb jerk, but hey, if you wanna gain more "laughs", you have to dumb down your characters.

Lisa's extreme political correctness is getting on my nerves. BTW i like the newer Homer in the 1st few seasons Homer was stupid but an arsehole in the later seasons 6 onwards he has become nicer but far more stupid.

Doesn't Groening still have control over the Simpsons? I mean, all he has to do is pull out, and Fox is screwed, right?

Maybe he should. I'd like to see the President at the Board meeting.
Or we all could sail PEEL they're and attack the FOX building, like in The Meaning of Life.

Even in his curent extremely stupid state Homer Simpson is still a great character full of redeeming features. Although he's very stupid, an suffers from unpredictable anger and mood swings, he still loves his family, and deep down even though he's too stupid to realise it he just wants to do the right thing. There is currently a poll being produced where you have to vote for the greatest American of all time (it's based on the BBC's recent 100 greatest Britons poll) and Homer Simpson is currently leading by miles! Despite the notable handycap of not being real!

I totally disagree. Any family values Homer has are added as an afterthought in the more recent seasons. He used to be respectable in the sense that his bumbling misadventures were driven by an underlying higher motive, now his escapades are the only justification for having escapades at all.
