Marge Simpson has a fan in another funny lady -- Mindy Kaling. "Growing up, I remember my parents feeling a little wary of 'The Simpsons,'" "The Office" actress tells Glamour. "This was the late eighties, and there was a wave of articles about TV shows that were bad for America. Then we all started watching it and loved it..."

"Marge Simpson is the one who's really funny," she continues. "Her character looks so crazy, but then she's supposed to be totally demure. I think [Simpsons creator] Matt Groening is a genius for giving her that hair."

In fact, Mindy thinks female TV characters have come a long way since Marge. "It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your 'portrayal' of women," she tells the mag. "Even when I started out on 'The Office' eight years ago, we could write our male characters funny and flawed, but not the women. And now, thankfully, it's completely different." Do you agree that Marge is the funniest "Simpsons" character? And we're not just talking about that hair ...
