Quite frankly the closest Simpsons gets to having one if memory serves. I know it doesn't mean much, the way the things are looking, but I'm frankly leaning towards a yes, for even though he has par-for-the-course comedic moments, his plans give rise to some pretty emotionally earnest scenes. The conflict he introduces is clearly meant to actually be taken seriously, with it being the big movie narrative.
