Moe Szyslak: A closer look at The Simpsons’ most tragic figure

Rudi Kinsella

Or as the ladies like to call him, “you behind the bushes”.

The Simpsons is one of the best TV shows of all time. It might be considered THE best show of all time, if it wasn’t for the episodes that they’ve been putting out for the past 10 years. The general consensus is that The Simpsons has gone to the dogs. But that doesn’t mean that it hasn’t blazed a trail for all the other animated series that arrived in its wake.

The most tragically brilliant character? Our favourite bartender, Moe Szyslak. Springfield’s favourite sad-sack. His blend of blind rage, absolute misery, and perfect one-liners make him without a doubt, one of the best TV characters of all time.

Here are some of his funniest moments.

Funk dancing for self-defence

Arguably his funniest moment, and perhaps THE funniest moment throughout the entirety of the show. “Just give ’em one of these”.

One of Moe’s many run-ins with the law.

Moe, Moe, Moe

Who could forget his number one hit? A classic for the ages.

The best prank call ever

There was nothing Bart Simpson liked more than to prank call Moe’s Tavern. It gave us some hilarious moments, but none funnier than this. The mother of all prank calls.
