Ralph Wiggum^[1] is a recurring character in the animated series The Simpsons. He is voiced by Nancy Cartwright.^[2] Ralph is characterized largely by his frequent non-sequiturs which range from nonsensical and bizarre to profound. His dim-witted behavior lends him an air of blissful ignorance.

The creator of the show, Matt Groening, has cited Ralph as his favorite character.^[3] He generally remains one of the more popular and often quoted secondary characters in the show. In 2006, IGN ranked Ralph No. 3 on their list of the "Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters," behind Sideshow Bob and Troy McClure.^[4]
