Top 10 Background Charers Of The Simpsons\r
\r
The Simpsons is one of the most popular and enduring shows on television, with several hundred s under its massive belt. In that time theyve featured more background charers than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. With that many charers, some of the more interesting back-stories sometimes go overlooked, along with the f that many of them depressing as hell. Here are ten sad-sack charers worthy of your Kleenexes.\r
\r
10. Eleanor Abernathy\r
Eleanor, AKA The Crazy Cat Lady, is most recognizable for throwing cats at random people and, for me personally, that one scene where she throws one clear over a roof.\r
\r
Heres the weird part though, Eleanor is a secret genius, clearly showing elements of lucidity in various s. In theSpringfield Up, its revealed that Eleanor is a fully trained doctor and lawyer, with degrees from Harvard and Yale. She was a bright-eyed child, who fully believed that a woman could be anything she wanted to be. But she simply couldnt handle the pressure, burned out, and gave up on life. But at least she has not given up on her cats.\r

9. Krusty\r
Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofski (henceforth shortened to Krusty the Clown, because screw typing that again,) is one of the more famous Simpsons background charers. His whole identity revolves around being a clown, as you rarely ever see him without his trademark clown makeup.\r
\r
And do you know why? Because Krusty doesnt wear makeup, aside from very early on in the show. Its a recurring joke on the show that his numerous hearts attacks have given him a permanent chalk-white face. Its played for laughs, sure, but Krusty is a very, very sick man, who chain-smokes, does drugs, drinks heavily, and has had so much heart surgery that his heart literally cannot pump blood to his face.\r

8. Bleeding Gums Murphy\r
Bleeding Gums Murphy stands out as one of the first Simpsons charers ever killed off permanently, in theRound Springfield. Being a famous jazz musician, youd expect a number of people to turn up to his funeral. But, only one person does: Lisa.\r
\r
Which is weird, and heart-breaking, because its heavily insinuated, several times throughout the shows run, that he is the brother of Dr. Hibbert. The same doctor who treats him for his deadly illness. So this guy had no one turn up to his funeral, save for a seven-year-old girl, and died not knowing his own brother was 10 feet away from him. Cripes, maybe the next one will be a wee but more upbeat.\r
\r
7. Bumblebee Man\r
Bumblebee Man, the humble star of Springfields Channel Ocho, seems like a harmlessly wacky one-joke charer. Except for the part where hes lonely and a total fraud. Ay Chihuahua!\r
\r
In 22 Short Stories About Springfield, his wife leaves him, not because he was cheating on her, or because he lost all their money by betting on the bull and not the matador. No, its because hes clumsy and kept breaking things. Thats apparently a deal-breaker in some marriages. Oh, he loses his house too. Ay Dios Mio!\r
\r
Hes also not even Spanish! In the 110th Simpsons Comic (its canon, shut up,) he reveals that hes ually Belgian. Which would explain why he has a perfect British accent in Bart Gets Famous. It would also explain why our office is suddenly so damn dusty.\r
