The Simpsons: 10 Most Hated Characters
1. Homer Simpson
There is no denying that Homer Simpson is and always has been the greatest thing about The Simpsons. He is a cultural icon, and even if you haven’t seen a single second of The Simpsons, you know who Homer is. He is beloved the world over. Ironically however, that doesn’t mean that isn’t also hated at the same time.
He is responsible for some of the greatest ever moments in the greatest animated show in the history of television, but there can be absolutely no question that he is also one of the most heinous characters in all of Springfield.
He has been a terrible father for 30 years, and at times an even worse husband. You can’t watch an episode like 'Co-Dependent's Day', and watch the man frame his own wife for driving under the influence rather than face the responsibility himself without hating him.
Even when he breaks the cycle and does something genuinely good, which isn’t all that often, he’ll undo it by strangling his son, holding a pointless grudge against his perfectly pleasant neighbour, or putting his wife in the line of fire to save his own ass. It didn’t start this way, but Homer has slowly and very certainly devolved into the worst man in Springfield.
