Not looking at the other posts… The Simpsons themselves (named in the OP, so, that’d be cheating…) Abe Simpson Mona Simpson (does 3 appearances count as ‘fairly regular’?) Rev. Lovejoy Mrs Lovejoy Jessica Lovejoy Jasper Beardley Dolph Jimbo Kearney Nelson Muntz Krusty Rabbi Krustofski Sideshow Bob Sideshow Mel Cecil Terwilliger (2 appearances? 3? More than one, anyway.) Duffman Bumblebee Man Ned Flanders Rod Flanders Todd Flanders Maud Flanders (… I’ve never noticed Ned’s the only one of the lot who doesn’t rhyme) Mrs Krabapple Otto Principal Skinner Miss Hoover Groundskeeper Willie Lunchlady Doris Lionel Hutz Gil Patty Selma Mother Bouvier Mr Burns Smithers Lenny Carl Barney Chief Wiggum Mrs Wiggum Ralph Wiggum Milhouse van Houten Kirk van Houten Luann van Houten Snake Fat Tony Johnny Tightlips (I’d include the rest of Fat Tony’s gang, but I can’t remember their names.) Apu Nahasanemapettalan Manjula (see above \<\_\<) The octuplets (I’m claiming them as a group) Comic Book Guy Dr Hibbert Mrs Hibbert Cookie Kwan Lindsay Nagel The Sea Captain Disco Stu Troy McClure Squeaky Voice Kid Martin Prince Uter Cheri (Sherri? Sherry? The twin of…) Terri … And here I run out of steam…including the Simpsons themselves, I manage…64. WAY better than I thought I’d manage. ---

> [@Tengu](#): > > Ned Flanders > Rod Flanders > Todd Flanders > Maud Flanders (… I’ve never noticed Ned’s the only one of the lot who doesn’t rhyme) I’ll have to confess that “Maud” and “Todd” don’t rhyme. At least around these parts. Around here “Maud” rhymes with “flawed” and “Todd” rhymes with “God”. ---

Ummm…Maude, flawed, Tod, and God all ryhme…how in the heck do YOU pronounce flawed? 😕 To contribute: Jimmy the Squeeler (squeeling makes him feel like a big man!) Sarcastic Guy (who sounds a lot like Charles Bronson, or at least a lot like a Charles Bronson imitator) Dissmissive Guy (not sen much anymore, but he doubts his teenage son or daughter is stupid enough to think a wishbone necklace is really cool) Wealthy Doweger (kill her with a pie) Rich Texan (owns the world’s fattest race horse) Herman (he was waiting for Zed so the party could start) Leopold (he thinks the kids are little FREAKS and they won’t screw with Marge Simpson) ---

Since we already have Johnny Tightlips, I’ll add Frankie The Squealer > [@BrotherCadfael](#): > > I’ll have to confess that “Maud” and “Todd” don’t rhyme. At least around these parts. Around here “Maud” rhymes with “flawed” and “Todd” rhymes with “God”. Slight hijack, but “flawed” and “God” (as well as Maude and Todd) rhyme around here. What am I missing 😕 ---

> [@bouv](#): > > Ummm…Maude, flawed, Tod, and God all ryhme…how in the heck do YOU pronounce flawed? 😕 I assume you pronounce all of them to rhyme with “awed,”(aw-d) as opposed to “odd.”(ah-d). Some places there is a distinct difference. Others not. ---

> [@bouv](#): > > Umm…both of those words ryhme, too. They are all pronounced like “odd”. How about ‘sawed’ past tense of ‘saw’? Does that sound the exact same as ‘awed’ and ‘odd’? In other words, does ‘sawed’ and ‘sod’ sound the exact same to you? ETA: DCnDC, that exchange is my ALL TIME FAVORITE in Simpsons history. I have been a faithful fan since Tracy Ulman, and I have hundreds of favorite quotes, but the lemon one is my favorite. ---

> [@bouv](#): > > Umm…both of those words ryhme, too. They are all pronounced like “odd”. Okay… You are aware that there are people and places in the world that don’t speak exactly the way you do, right? Not to mention that they pronounce them in distinctly different ways on the show itself. “Maude” is Maw-d, Rod and Todd are Rah-d and Tah-d.
