I'm not even a huge Simpsons fan.
sure there are great comedians and actors who've had a lot of memorable hilarious lines and moments but nowhere near as many as Homer. i'm talking quantity not just quality.
and it is easier to put funny lines into a cartoon character's mouth than a real person's. |
I'm not knocking the fact Homer is funny, I just thought it was odd you specifically said which
single person then chose a cartoon character written by many different people.

He used to be funny.
He still is, but he used to be too.
Likewise Bill Hicks. You never know if that was 'better' from the point of view of their comedy though. Ie, it didn't get a chance to grow stale or outstay its welcome.
