The Simpsons: Every Main Character Ranked Worst To Best

16. Ralph Wiggum

The Simpsons Krusty
Fox

Looking at Ralph Wiggum, you can quickly tell that he takes after his father. The kid is a chip off the old block as he's innocent, naïve and pretty darn dumb, which easily makes him a fun character to watch. However, unlike others who are made fun of for being simple-minded, Ralph has qualities that make him avoid being the butt of the joke.

There's a blissful optimism to Ralph that stops him from being annoying and turns him into something adorable. Although he has many barriers - thanks to his ignorance - he always tries his best and has an upbeat energy that makes all of his lines seem wholesome and sweet.

You even get the chance to see a more emotional side to him, especially in "I Love Lisa", when he gets too invested in Lisa as a Valentine and ends up getting heartbroken. It's sad to see such a sweet kid get hurt, but he grows and learns from it.
