The Simpsons

The Simpsons debuted not long after Married… With Children on the then-fledgling Fox network. Yet it’s somehow still going. In fact, it’s the longest-running sitcom.

The Simpsons inspired debate with many topics — from guns to drugs to politics — and also took a stand by presenting gay characters in a sympathetic light long before the majority of TV shows did. It tends to offend people on the right more than people on the left, and has never shied away from mocking Fox News.

But we bet if offends random restaurant chains the most, with out-of-nowhere zingers like, “I’m so hungry I could eat at Arby’s!” (That joke is from Season 9’s “Das Bus,” above.)

We also love that The Simpsons even gives big moments to minor characters.
