The Simpsons Character Draft

[TheFranchise]

I still think an all round animated cartoon draft is worth it. The possibilties of the first 10 picks involving people like 'Cartman, Homer, Bart, Bender, Kenny, Barney Rubble, Peter Griffin'.

 

You'd end up with one awesome team.

[CanadianGuitarist]

To clear up any confusion, this is TakerHart's pick:

 

James Woods

 

"I'm off to fight aliens in a far-away planet."

"That sounds like a good movie"

"A movie. Yes. A movie."

 

Board's updated. Keep on top of the PM's, please.

You could concievably have a list of all cops or all teachers and have it be awesome: Joe, Wiggum, Barbrady, etc.

My next pick is...

 

 

GABBO!

 

GABBO!

 

GABBO!

 

 

[TheFranchise]

WHO IS GABBO?

 

Edit:

 

I am, of course, referencing the characters reaction to the adverts of GABBO.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski]

Gabbo: Those little SOB's.

Gabbo treated his audience the same way Krusty treated his.

[TheFranchise]

That oughta hold those SOB's.

[Mecha Mummy]

See, I was thinking of a TV Character draft in general the other day, though the problem with that might be that it'd be so deep in scope that it could get overlong and also it wouldn't quite have the same charm this one does where eventually it's everyone sniping one-shot characters.

 

Also, oh man, I forgot about Gabbo entirely. That episode was fantastic.

[TheFranchise]

Now that I think about it, a TV character one in general would be awesome.

 

Drafting Ross from Friends, Frasier Crane and AmGlad host Hulk Hogan as your first three choices.

[Jaxxson Mayhem]

My bad on the PM TakerHart. I was waiting for the 8 hours to be up and forgot.

Goddammit I've had a picture of Gabbo saved to my Photobucket since yesterday. Oh, well, I was only going to draft him to set up one of my favorite jokes, so I'll just take that ball and run with it...ahem...

 

Did you hear that everyone? Garbo has been drafted!

[EVIL~! alkeiper]

My next pick: Charlie

 

 

"I won't bore you with the details of our miraculous escape. But we desperately need a REAL Emergency exit!"

[CanadianGuitarist]

I noticed that I wasn't PM'ed. This may not be a big deal, but "I'm not as laid back as people think. Now, I'm gonna sit here and play my guitar, and you're gonna float there, and like it!"

 

James Taylor

 

 

[TheFranchise]

One of my favourite one off characters there CG.

[Youth N Asia]

I was going to pick one of the better well known, but I couldn't risk this one being taken. Here's an awesome forgotten about charcter

 

 

MCGARNICLE

 

"next, on 'mcgarnicle', mcgarnicle is framed for a crime he didn't commit. and only one person can clear his name: a little sissy boy who's too scared to come forward."

 

McGarnicle: "You gotta tell 'em what you saw, Billy.

Billy: "But I'm so scared, Mcgarnicle."

McGarnicle: "You gotta do this one for me, Billy: Mcgarnicle"

Billy: "Well, ok. For you, Mcgarnicle"

 

Chief: "Well, Mcgarnicle, Billy is dead. they slit is throat from ear to ear."

McGarnicle "Hey! i'm trying to eat lunch here."

 

 

 

I don't care if no one else likes this pick. I effing love it

[TheFranchise]

...McGarnicle.

[TheFranchise]

Oh hell.

 

Michael Jackson

 

 

Michael: Hi, I'm Michael Jackson, from the Jacksons.

Homer: Hi, Homer Simpsons, from the Simpsons.

[Youth N Asia]

LEON!

[TheFranchise]

No, he thinks he's Michael Jackson, so that's who he is today!

[TheFranchise]

Interesting..

 

"He was, in fact, voiced by Jackson (who, for contractual reasons, was credited as "John Jay Smith")[1] and his singing was done by Jackson impersonator Kipp Lennon"

 

Why's this?

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin]

Homer and Michael walk up to Chief...

 

Michael: Homer this Chief, he hasn't said a word in over 10 years.

Homer: Hey Chief.

Chief: Hey Homer.

*doctors rush over*

Chief: It's about time someone reached out to me.

 

One of my favorite moments in Simpson history.

[Scroby]

Why's this?

You do realize this is Michael Jackson you're asking about, right?

[Boner Kawanger]

Oh, so I have to follow Michael Jackson, do I? Well I have a pick. Alright, just step right in an-

GIT OUTTA MY AHFICE!

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski]

I can't believe former president James Taylor was picked.

[JJ Johnson]

I have to follow Michael Jackson and crazy eyepatch Matt Groening? Well, I'm going to do that with probably my favorite fake guest star.

 

 

 

Charles Bronson. And now I'm going to Emmitt's Fix-It Shop. To fix Emmitt.

Holy fuck me, I loved that bit

 

This is a draft that I'm not even mad about when I don't get great characters, I'm marking out from time to time going "oh, how could I forget that one."

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin]

More than any other draft - I wish I was in this one. I have a few out of left field picks that I doubt anyone will take.

[Boner Kawanger]

Did anybody else collect the World of Springfield figures and playsets? I probably have more than twenty plus six or so playsets on my bookshelf back home.

[DrVenkman PhD]

spman was a big collector of those back in the day.
