5. Rainier Wolfcastle

Known for his long-running action movie franchise, McBain and the ill-fated live-action Radioactive Man movie, the muscle-bound Wolfcastle began his career in his native Austria in Bratwurst adverts. He€™s dabbled his toe in comedy in €˜My Baby Is An Ugly Man€™, €˜Help, My Son Is A Nerd€™, and €˜McBain: Let€™s Get Silly€™ consisting of McBain performing stand-up comedy for an hour and half. It cost $80 million to produce. He€™s forever battling a weight problem, he has a daughter named Greta who Bart and Milhouse both dated, and he co-owns a Planet Hollywood-esque restaurant with Chuck Norris, Johnny Carson€™s third wife and the Russian Mafia.

4. Mayor 'Diamond' Joe Quimby

Springfield€™s slippery, opportunistic, womanising and disgustingly corrupt long-serving Mayor, Democratic €˜Diamond€™ Joe Quimby has survived countless re-elections since getting into office in 1986. His political career however is tarnished with fraud and wrongdoing. He€™s embezzled tax money, taken brides and used city money to build his own secret lavish swimming baths. He€™s even admitted to funding the assassinations of his enemies and competition. Despite being married, he enjoys putting it about and has fathered several love children. Vote Quimby. He€™d vote for you.
