Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Simpsons universe is full of compelling side characters who could’ve been explored in more depth in the unproduced Springfield spin-off series.
19 Krusty The Clown The writers of The Simpsons have always used Krusty the Clown to satirize hacky comedians who steal jokes from fellow comics and go on stage with the same tired and outdated material they’ve had for decades. But Krusty’s characterization goes deeper than that. He’s the archetypal sad clown; he makes people laugh for a living, but his life off-stage is defined by constant misery.
15 Cletus Spuckler Like many Simpsons characters, Cletus the slack-jawed yokel is a one-note caricature of various stereotypes . But there would be a lot more depth to mine if this character was given his own storyline in the Springfield spin-off series. Like Homer, Cletus is a family man with the responsibility of taking care of his kids. But, whereas Homer has just three kids to look after, Cletus has dozens. An episode about Cletus would play like a rural version of Cheaper by the Dozen.
11 Mayor Quimby Mayor Quimby is The Simpsons’ stand-in for every crooked politician. He’s specifically modeled after the Kennedys, but he can be used to satirize any political figure. A Quimby-centric episode of a potential Springfield spin-off series could focus on the mayor’s latest re-election campaign and explain how he’s managed to remain in office for so long in spite of his many scandals.
