That’s the word from Entertainment Weekly, who named the famous yellow doofus the best character from TV and film.

Simpson beat out Harry Potter (though, really, EW — he’s more a book character than a movie character), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tony Soprano and The Joker, to round out the top five. EW limited the list to characters from the last 20 years, ranking the top 100 in an issue that’s on newsstands now.

Do you agree with the results? Who would you choose — Homer, Harry or someone else? Chime in below. (For my money, can’t beat Cartman from South Park.)
