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

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". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LbExEydMKg Clip via Jacob Meiller

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIy_RXX_VLE Clip via The Simpsons Legacy

The lie-detector test

Another iconic scene, portraying just how hilarious Moe's life was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQGwrK_yDEg Clip via Armaniaca

"I'm better than dirt"

Moe had some serious anger problems. Hilarious anger problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ1QOoWn764 Clip via AreaEightyNine

Flaming Moe's

A great song, from a great episode. To quote Moe himself, "Homer came up with the drink, but I came up with the idea of charging $6.95 for it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EwwJnJPs8A Clip via Mostly Simpsons

Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag

Moe cracks in this scene. Big time. Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag would be no more after this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFkrZAo7U-Q Clip via brianna childers

And who could forget his dating show appearance?

"Why do we have to stand here? It's so humiliating." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WktqPi0SieY Clip via Baskervillain
