Guys, check out my Simpsons quiz at:

http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/48861/the-simpsons-characters

It has the same structure as this quiz.

It accepts more alternate answers, and has WAY more characters.

Well happy to get Laura Powers, guess that old Simpsons poster I used to have paid off.

Nice quiz, but a bit annoying that you accept first names for some, last names for some, but only first AND last names for others (i.e. Scott Christian, Birch Barlow)
+1
Level 21
Jun 22, 2015
nearly impossible without help. i type the right thing and it won't except on some of them such as jacqueline.
+2
Level 66
Jul 29, 2015
Completely agree with this. The quiz seems very inconsistent as far as accepting names. "Murphy" wasn't enough to get "Bleeding Gums Murphy", yet for many other people a last name was enough. For "Jacqueline Bouvier" I typed both "Bouvier" and "Mrs. Bouvier" and neither worked; then I typed in "Marge's Mother" and that was accepted.

I was surprised Mr Bergstrom wasn't in it! He's a pretty well-known one-time character, right up there with Frank Grimes.

You could add a category for all the names Bart uses to prank Moe.

It is possible to find characters that weren't on here, but only if you are a big Simpsons fan like myself.

I got 141.

Good job on the list :)

This has been my favorite show since day 1 and I am ashamed at my brain failure. Also, unless I'm missing something, I don't see the Sea Captain. D'oh!
+2
Level 66
Nov 21, 2017
Can you accept Mr. or Mrs. Van Houten for Kirk and Luann? You accepted Mrs. Lovejoy and Mrs. Flanders, so it seems only fair.
+1
Level 66
Jun 10, 2019
agreed
+5
Level 67
Nov 21, 2017
Why do you include some one-off characters like Mindy Simmons and Frank Grimes, but not others? Seems to me there is an easy line to draw between recurring characters (which should be part of the quiz), and one-off characters (which shouldn't be part of the quiz because you have some but left off many others).
+1
Level 51
Nov 28, 2017
it says only from the first 9 episodes
+1
Level 75
Nov 15, 2020
Did they only make one episode per year?
+6
Level 67
Apr 12, 2021
I know. The omissions I'm talking about are in the first nine seasons. Some one-off characters are here. Some aren't. For example, there's an Albanian exchange student named Adil who lives with the Simpsons for an episode. He's not here. Mr. Bergstrom, Lisa's substitute teacher, isn't here. Principal Dondelinger, the principal from Marge and Homer's high school, appears in several episodes from Seasons 1-9, but he's not here either. Stampy, Bart's pet elephant for a single episode, is here. Princess, Lisa's pet pony for a single episode, isn't. I know you can't possibly get everyone, but if I try Mr. Bergstrom, who was the focus of a whole episode, and he doesn't work, why would I think to try the name of the guy who controlled the Gabbo puppet? Mr. Sparkle isn't even a real character. He's a dishwashing detergent mascot that appears in one episode, and he's here. It's just impossible to tell where the line is, and I found it frustrating.
+5
Level 51
Jan 8, 2018
Please accept Miguel Sanchez and Dr. Nguyen Van Phuoc for Lionel Hutz
+6
Level 67
Apr 12, 2021
I believe doing that would violate attorney-dumpster confidentiality.

Super Nintendo Chalmers worked!

Could you consider accepting Dr. Marvin? I got that much, just couldn't remember the last name.
+1
Level 82
Mar 5, 2019
I don't know what it says about me that the least guessed character I could come up with was Boobarella...
+1
Level 66
Jun 10, 2019
I got krusty's dad but didn't get several of the more known ones ( eventhough I could picture them) Like smithers, marge's sisters, and the bullies' names. Plus I kept on thinking it was kent brockhouse.
+3
Level 35
Sep 3, 2019
Won’t let me have ‘Mr Burns’ Hounds’ or ‘Just Stamp the Ticket Man’, ‘Sarcastic Guy Ralph’ and ‘Jonny Tightlips’ please could this be corrected?
+2
Level 77
Dec 30, 2019
This was a very good quiz. Got 101 which was a good score. However for Aristotle Amadopolis and other names, you should accept the first name, because I put Aristotle (not knowing the surname) but it would not let me have it
+1
Level ∞
Dec 30, 2019
Aristotle will work now

What about the real Seymour Skinner? Obviously most people would get it via type-in, but I still think he should be included for integrity's sake

No 7 Duffs?

Is Janey actually Herb's daughter? That would make her and Lisa half cousins
+2
Level 67

Doubtful. Janey is Black and Herb is white. Plus Herb never lived in Springfield. He was adopted as a baby, and as an adult he lived in Detroit.

Level 23
Apr 23, 2021
You could add:

1. Princess Penelope

2. Lou the cow

3. Rigellions

4. Sheri & Terri’s last name is Mackleberry

5. Cletus & Brandine’s last name is Spuckler, and their children are Wheel, Barrow, Whitney, Jitney, Tiffany, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermott, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumor, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, and Max

6. Shari Bobbins

If you go to Simpsonswiki.com you find that there are literally 1000’s of characters; many were part of stories re-imagined by the Simpsons’ creators. Eg. Shakespeare, Homer, but there are also a lot of characters that played major roles in some episodes like Belle the madame of La Maison Derriere, Judge Harm, Moe’s girlfriends (Colette, Mindy Simmons, Maya, Renee), girls’ PE teacher Ms. Pommelhorst, boys’ PE teacher Coach Krupt who is infamous for his “bombardment” method of teaching, and many more.

I got Troy McClure last, because I literally couldn't remember how to spell his name lol.

Maybe add Milhouse's last name, as you already have Kirk and Luann's last name on there. Other than that, it's pretty good.
