'''Lee Carvallo''' is a fictional [[golf]]er in the video game ''[[Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge]]''.

== History ==
In the game, Carvallo suggests things such as club selection and strength of swing to assist the player in achieving the best score. When [[Bart]] plays the game, he deliberately does everything the opposite of Carvallo's suggestions and ends up hitting the ball into the parking lot. Bart was obviously going against Carvallo's suggestions in order to make the game more interesting; even so, he quickly got bored and gave up.

Carvallo was also earlier seen in Bart's thoughts, trying to persuade Bart not to steal ''[[Bonestorm]]'' from the [[Try-N-Save]] by asking him to think about the consequences of his actions. However, it falls on deaf ears as [[Mario]], {{ap|Luigi|video game character}}, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Sonic]] were able to persuade Bart to take the game regardless and give himself a Merry Christmas. Carvallo would prove to be correct when Bart is caught by the Try-N-Save's strict security guard [[Don Brodka]] that leads to his ban.

'''Hans Sprungfeld''', better known as '''Jebediah Obadiah Zachariah Jedediah Springfield'''<ref name="The Telltale Head">"[[The Telltale Head]]"</ref> is the purported historical founder of the town of [[Springfield]].

== Biography ==
Jebediah Springfield was born in [[Axhandle]], [[Virginia]], in 1774. His dream was to go west and explore the American frontier. When he was thirteen he left school and started to help his father at the farm, but discovered that he was allergic to soil. He then started to work in a shop that printed fishing almanacs and wrote his own pamphlets. He was hired by a mule skinner named Bucskin Calhoun and learned from him valuable lessons in wilderness survival, navigation and attire.<ref name="history">''[[The Legend of Jebediah Springfield]]''</ref>

He later led a band of wagons from Maryland and headed westward with his partner [[Shelbyville Manhattan]] on a quest to find "New Sodom", after misinterpreting a passage of the Bible. They later parted over political differences; Manhattan wanted to found a town where people could marry their own cousins, while Springfield wanted a town devoted to chastity, abstinence, and a flavorless mush he called "root-marm". Manhattan went on to found the rival town of [[Shelbyville]].

Despite Springfield's hero status in modern-day Springfield, many of his famed deeds have come into question under historical examination. On an expedition to Springfield's historic "Fort Springfield", [[Bart Simpson]] uncovered inconsistencies in the Jebediah legend, discovering he accomplished multiple heroic feats on the same day in different and far apart locations.<ref>"[[Whacking Day]]"</ref>

[[Lisa Simpson]] later proved that "Jebediah Springfield" was in fact a bloodthirsty pirate and enemy of [[George Washington]] named '''Hans Sprungfeld''', who had changed his name in 1795 to hide his identity. He wrote his confession on a scrap of paper that formed the "missing piece" of the famously incomplete portrait of George Washington, which he procured when he stepped on the original painting while it was still wet.<ref name="Iconoclast">"[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]"</ref> However, upon seeing the town pride Springfield has for their founder, Lisa decided to keep the discovery to herself.

A distinguishing characteristic of Sprungfeld was his prosthetic silver tongue, which was built to replace his real tongue which was bitten off by a Turkish pirate during a groghouse fight. According to rumours, the silver tongue is currently in the possession of Mayor Quimby, who uses it as a paperweight.<ref>''[[The Simpsons Guide to Springfield]]''</ref>

=== Death ===
Springfield is said to have dramatically killed a bear with his bare hands, though revisionist historians have determined the bear in fact probably killed him in 1831.<ref name=Wall>''[[Wall or Nothing]]''</ref> The only witness waws [[Ian McTauge]].<ref name="history"/> A statue depicting Springfield's victory stands in the center of the Springfield town square, in front of the city hall. His secret will contains a confession that he was suffering from then fatal diphtheria and according to [[Lisa Simpson]]'s research, he died of syphilis. The will also reveals that the untameable buffalo he was believed to have tamed was already tame and that he merely shot it.<ref name="Iconoclast"/> After he died his two sons, [[Obadiah Springfield|Obadiah]] and [[Zechariah Springfield]], split the city in two parts.<ref name="Wall"/>

== Legacy ==
=== Fame today ===
Springfield had many famous quotations, such as "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man", and was well known for his figurative and literal silver tongue. He also wore a coonskin cap.

The [[Springfield Historical Society]], headed by [[Hollis Hurlbut]], is devoted to the study of the town's history, specially Jebediah's. Hurlbut, who is aware of Springfield's true background, keeps the truth hidden.
[[File:Jebediah Springfield statue.png|thumb|The statue]]

=== Dedications ===
The Springfield Marathon commemorates an occasion on which Springfield ran across six states in order to avoid his creditors.

=== Statue head ===
The [[Statue of Jebediah Springfield|statue]] was once beheaded with a hacksaw by Bart Simpson, who thought that it would make him more popular. In reality, the town became depressed and angry, leaving Bart to endure "The Tell-Tale Heart"-style guilt before he returned the head to its rightful place.<ref name="The Telltale Head"/> It appears that whilst the head is back in its rightful place it has never been properly re-attached, as it frequently falls off.

=== Later legacy ===
In [[Bart]]'s coma dream, Jebediah Springfield was one of the ghosts who came to Bart to get help to move on to the afterlife. He told Bart to help them.<ref>"[[Flanders' Ladder]]"</ref>

'''Mr. Pettigrew''', better known as the '''Yes Guy''', also known as the '''Frank Nelson-Type''', but normally referred in-show as '''That Jerk That Goes Ye-e-e-es''' (or similar names) by [[Homer]], is a resident of [[Springfield]]. He is known for bellowing “Ye-e-e-es?!” in a rising inflection, and appears to be highly eccentric in both his speech and appearance.

== History ==
On his first appearance, when [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] asked the Yes Guy why he spoke like he did, after he had said "yes" two times with is unique tone, the Yes Guy responded that he had a stroke.<ref>"[[Mayored to the Mob]]"</ref>

He is often seen working at [[Costington's]] department store, and is apparently on good terms with [[Mr. Costington]]. When [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] was put on trial for teaching fellow students about Darwin, the Yes Guy was juror number twelve.<ref>"[[The Monkey Suit]]"</ref> He also once worked as an ice cream truck driver and gave [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] some free ice cream.<ref>"[[The Lastest Gun in the West]]"</ref> The Yes Guy also once worked for the reality show ''[[Frame Up]]'', where he pretended to take a phone call from the governor regarding whether a condemned Homer should be reprieved. During the call, he used his catchphrase (and a "No" version of it) several times.<ref>"[[The Frying Game]]"</ref>

Homer refers to him as "that jerk who always goes yes".<ref name=SSCCTG>"[[Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens and Gays]]"</ref>

His name is revealed to be "''Mr. Pettigrew''".<ref>"[[The Dad Who Knew Too Little]]" (deleted scene)</ref>

=== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===
{{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Oddballs|YesGuy}}

== Behind the Laughter ==
The Yes Guy is a tribute to character actor {{W|Frank Nelson (actor)|Frank Nelson}}, and his familiar persona on ''The Jack Benny Program'' (modified for appearances on ''I Love Lucy'', ''The Flintstones'', ''Sanford and Son'', and others). Nelson's trademark greeting was a loud, drawn-out “Yeeeeesss?!” This was often augmented with a sarcastic "OoOOOoooh!" Originally, this character could be found in a variety of occupations, usually as a salesman or waiter, at establishments which Jack Benny or others might be patronizing, and his Simpsonian counterpart is equally omnipresent.

=== Variations ===
A [[Brazilian Yes Guy|Brazilian version]] of the Yes Guy can be seen in the episode "[[Blame It on Lisa]]," uttering a Portuguese variation of the catchphrase: "Si-i-i-im?!".

The '''Simpson family''' is one of the main families in [[Springfield]], as well as the protagonist family of ''[[The Simpsons]]''. The first known Simpson was [[Sven Simpson|Sven]]. Many families married in to the Simpson family and the Simpsons, in turn, married into many. Through marriages such as this, it is possible to trace a link between one of [[Springfield's State|the state]]'s richest and well-known family, the [[Burns family]].

Joe Quimby

}}

'''Joseph Fitzgerald O'Malley Fitzpatrick O'Donnell The Edge "Diamond Joe" Quimby, Jr.'''<ref>"[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]"</ref> is the Mayor of [[Springfield]]. He appears as a slick, opportunistic politician whose chief priorities seem to be keeping himself in office, womanizing, and various other forms of corruption, including embezzling tax money, taking bribes from [[Fat Tony]], the local Mafia Don, and giving monthly kickbacks to Police [[Clancy Wiggum|Chief Wiggum]]. The seal on the wall of his office reads "Corruptus in Extremis", which means "extremely corrupt".

== Biography ==
Despite being mayor for such a long time, Quimby does not know or care much about his city, often privately (or even publicly) showing his outright contempt for Springfield's citizens. He frequently takes overseas vacations, which take him out of town for extended periods of time, leading to the headline "Mayor Visits City" in the Springfield Shopper. He once referred to Springfield as Springfeld at a public meeting. However, he makes frequent, albeit short, public appearances for local festivities, events, business openings, etc.

If bending the law will suit Quimby's purposes, he will likely do so. He once arranged Marge Simpson's release after she was arrested for blocking traffic on a bridge after suffering a nervous breakdown because he felt keeping her in jail would result in him kissing the "chick vote" goodbye. He also resorted to bribing witnesses when assault charges were brought against his nephew, leading Bart Simpson to observe that "the system works: just ask Claus von Bülow".

Despite his vices and general self-serving use of the law, he has at times attempted to utilize the law for the greater good of Springfield, such as enacting "Code Black" to clean up Lake Springfield, as well as the (albeit largely ignored) establishing of a 75 cent toll booth in order to gain enough tax money to "de-python the town fountain."

His catch phrase is "Vote Quimby", which he always finds an opportunity to say, even in situations where it would be disadvantageous to identify himself, like inadvertently being caught by Homer in a low-rent motel room with his mistress.

== Elections ==
[[File:Vote quimbya.jpg|thumb|Vote Quimby]]
Quimby was elected Mayor of Springfield in 1986. He has been re-elected several times since, despite rather open admissions of fraud and wrongdoing. He once admitted to using taxpayer dollars to fund the murder of his enemies, but thanks to a clever use of a popular catch phrase ("I'm a bad wittle boy"), he was re-elected in a landslide. Further evidence of his apparent political ideology, Quimby has earned himself the hatred of Springfield's small but vocal Republican elite, themselves portrayed as mostly dark, ghoulish figures who meet in a castle.

When the party nominated [[Sideshow Bob]] as its mayoral candidate, Bob rigged the election, briefly deposing Quimby. He was re-instated when Bob was found guilty of fraud and imprisoned. He also survived a [[See Homer Run|recall election]] in 2005, with no candidate in the race against him (candidates included [[Rainier Wolfcastle]] (another Schwarzenegger reference), ''[[Kent Brockman]]'', and even [[Homer Simpson]]) garnering the 5% necessary to force a recall.

He was [[Hail to the Cat|replaced]] by [[Snowball II]] for a brief period, until she fell asleep during the whole [[British Invasion of Springfield]].

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
In a future version of [[Springfield]], Quimby is seen as a Taxi Driver. It's implied that he was thrown out of Office, and he has to try to deflect the embarrassment and shame of the event by falsifying his Drivers License by claiming that his name is Mohammad Jafar.<ref>"[[Lisa's Wedding]]"</ref>

Quimby also implies that he was once the mayor of [[Seattle]] and caused a calamity while he was in office there.<ref>''[[The Town That Time Forgot]]''</ref>

=== The Simpsons Game ===
Joe Quimby appears mostly in the cutscenes of the level [[Mob Rules]] as he shares a hot-tub and some interns with the EA Games executive in order to receive his bribe to have ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' be sold to minors. When the EA Games executive sees a senator among the mob created by Marge protesting the sale of the game outside City Hall, he takes back the bribe, forcing Quimby to ban the sale of the game.

==== Number 22 ====
{{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Stonecutters|Number22}}

== Behind the Laughter==
=== Origin of name ===
Joe Quimby's name partly comes from NW Quimby Street in Portland, Oregon, the hometown of show creator [[Matt Groening]].<ref>''[[Springfield Confidential]]'' Chapter 6</ref> The rest of the character's name is from Portland mobster and chief of police, "Diamond" Jim Purcell.

=== Comparisons to the Kennedy family ===
There are many things about Quimby and his family that are similar to Ted Kennedy and the Kennedy political family such as:

*He speaks with a Boston accent, in a style most resembling that of Ted Kennedy, commonly separating words with "er" and "ah".
*The mayor is a Democrat, like the Kennedys.
*He enjoys lavish wealth.
*He lives on a coastal estate (the "Quimby compound") with his family—not unlike the Kennedy Compound in Hyannisport, Massachusetts.
*Quimby is married to a woman who wears a pink suit and pillbox hat similar to one Jacqueline Kennedy made famous, whom he met while she was working in [[Bart After Dark|Maison Derrière]]. She may be also related to actor [[Rainier Wolfcastle]], who is modeled after Arnold Schwarzenegger (husband of Ted Kennedy's niece, Maria Shriver); Wolfcastle has been spotted at Quimby family functions.
*The Kennedy family is Irish and so is Joe Quimby.
*The mayor's nephew, Freddy Quimby, was [[The Boy Who Knew Too Much|once]] tried for assault (a reference to the William Kennedy Smith rape trial) during which Mayor Quimby tried to bribe witnesses.
*One of his many middle names is Fitzgerald, which was president John F. Kennedy's middle name.

During the USAToday.com contest to choose which Springfield would host the Simpsons Movie premiere, Ted Kennedy himself appears in a video in which he invited "Diamond Joe" Quimby to Springfield, Massachusetts, and even mocked his own oft-mocked pronunciation of the word "Chowder" (as "Chow-Dah").

In addition to the clear Kennedy connection, Quimby also has similarities with Charles Foster Kane, including having built an opera house for his girlfriend.

'''Lisa Marie Simpson''' (born May 9 or April 2<ref>In the episode "[[My Sister, My Sitter]]" it's stated Lisa's 2 years and 38 days younger than Bart: Bart was born April 1, so Lisa's birthday will fall on May 9. However in Simpsorama, Bart stated his birthday is February 23, which would mean Lisa's birthday would fall on April 2.</ref>) is a charismatic 8-year-old girl, who exceeds the standard achievement level of children her age. Not to everyone's surprise, she's also the moral center of her family. In her upbringing, Lisa lacks parental involvement of Homer and Marge, which leads to hobbies like playing saxophone and guitar, riding and caring for horses, and interest in advanced studies. In school, Lisa's popularity's affected by those who view her as a geeky overachiever, which leaves her with only a few friends. Lisa Simpson's a smart, witty, independent girl who focuses on her goals and strives to reach her potential, and at age 8 she's already a member of MENSA with an IQ of 159.

== Biography ==
[[File:Lisa Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
[[File:Lisas First Word.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] holding baby Lisa''.<ref name="Lisa's First Word">"[[Lisa's First Word]]"</ref>]]
[[File:Lisa's_Kindergarten_Report_Card.png|thumb|left|Lisa's Springfield kingergarten's Report Card]]
[[File:Marge, Maggie, Lisa & Bart.png|200px|thumb|right|Lisa with [[Marge Simpson|her mother]] and siblings: [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Maggie]].]]
Lisa's quite eclectic in her knowledge and is notably more concerned with world affairs and problems than her cohorts. Lisa shares her intellect and overachieving personality traits with other female members of the Simpson family (revealed Simpson males inherit a gene on the Y chromosome preventing them from channeling their intellect),<ref>"[[Lisa the Simpson]]"</ref> such traits aren't seen within the Bouvier family. Lisa also deeply values her integrity, as demonstrated when she cheats on a test in ''[[The Wind in the Willows]]'' to attain her highest grade of A+++, but later admits her dishonesty to an unreceptive [[Seymour Skinner|Principal Skinner]]. (She later re-grades the test as an F.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets an "A"]]"</ref>) Despite her intellect, Lisa received detention, like her brother Bart, quite a number of times, often because of her rebellious and sometimes bitter attitude and anti-social behavior capable of deeply embarrassing authority figures.
[[File:Bart, Lisa and Maggie playing.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Bart, Lisa and Maggie from [[season 24]]]]
Although her rebellion against social norms is usually constructive, Lisa can be whiny, cruel and self-righteous at times. When she believes herself to be right, she won't admit others may be as well, and will force her beliefs on people. Notably, her increasing sense of moral righteousness regarding her vegetarianism leads her to proselytize, culminating in her spiteful disruption of a "meat-based" barbecue prepared by Homer (an act she comes to rue).<ref name="Lisa the Vegetarian">"[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]"</ref> At times, Lisa appears to resist certain situations merely for the sake of resisting them, not because of any genuine ideological opposition. She appears to enjoy breaking the norm for its own sake; in one time, she triumphantly declared she, a girl, will like to join the football team. When it's revealed there are already girls on the team, she declares her distaste for a sport that will use a pig's skin to make its ball. When it's revealed the ball's actually synthetic, she's at a loss for words and runs off visibly upset.<ref>"[[Bart Star]]"</ref>

Despite her high IQ, Lisa does have typical childhood issues, sometimes requiring adult intervention. She once tricked [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] into allowing her to ride the bus alone, only to become hopelessly lost. After his coworkers [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] and [[Carl Carlson|Carl]] point out he allowed his 8 year old daughter to ride a bus by herself, Homer comes to her rescue.<ref>"[[Lost Our Lisa]]"</ref> Lisa has a Jewish imaginary friend named [[Rachel Cohen]] who "just got into Brandeis University."
Even with a high intellect, Lisa displays more personality traits of an eight-year old, including obsessing over getting a pony, being addicted to TV, and fighting with Bart. Lisa once got addicted to second hand smoke to maintain an impressive level of ballet competence; Homer tries to prevent the addiction unsuccessfully, and in the end, Lisa overcomes the addiction herself through means of [[Wikipedia:Hello Kitty|"Hello Kitty"]] nicotine patches.<ref>"[[Smoke on the Daughter]]"</ref> She also displays a surprising amount of skill in driving, especially for her age, sometimes even taking the wheel whenever Homer ends up distracted from driving.<ref>''[[Bart Star]]''</ref>

=== Appearance ===
[[File:Lisafolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Lisa's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]
Lisa's an eight year old girl who seems to have a problem with her weight. [[Sherri]] and [[Terri]] used to make fun of her and her 'big butt'.<ref name="Sleeping with the Enemy">"[[Sleeping with the Enemy]]"</ref> Most of Lisa's physical appearances comes from her father's side of the family, so does her stubby fingers which blocks her from her dream of becoming a jazz musician.<ref name="Separate Vocations">[[Separate Vocations]]"</ref> Lisa's always shown wearing an orange strapless dress and a white pearl necklace. She occasionally wears a pink dress with a dress hat or a hair bow for church and formal activities. She has a 'starfish' like hairstyle in the same style as her younger sister, Maggie. Lisa's hairstyle's also a challenge for the animators to draw. Lisa's actually wearing invisible braces from Calvin Klein.<ref name="Last Exit to Springfield">"[[Last Exit to Springfield]]"</ref>

=== Intelligence ===
It's mentioned Lisa has an IQ of 159.<ref>"[[Homer's Enemy]]"</ref> She's a high-ranking member of [[Mensa International|Mensa Springfield]]. Lisa demonstrates an early intelligence by changing her own diaper as an infant. When unable to attend school due to a teachers strike, she suffered a sort of "school withdrawal" because she has an emergency box in case of a teacher strike. She begins to panic when she can only think of two synonyms to the word "stop". She constantly wants people to "grade her" because Marge gave her an "A" just to make her stop whining, and invents a perpetual motion machine Homer describes as it just "keeps going faster and faster". He goes on to chastise her, saying, "In this house, we obey the laws of {{w|thermodynamics}}!" <ref>"[[The PTA Disbands]]"</ref>

=== Beliefs ===
Lisa's political convictions are generally leftist and rather liberal. She's a vegetarian, and a supporter of the Free Tibet movement. Lisa yells "Free Tibet!" after winning the school spelling bee. She, like her mom, supported Democrat Mary Bailey over Right-Winged [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]]; the twosome revealed Mr. Burns was a liar, and Mary Bailey wins in a landslide, the only known supporters being Smithers, Bart, and Homer.

While still supportive of the Christian church she was raised in, Lisa's now a practicing [[Wikipedia:Buddhism|Buddhist]] following her decision to follow the {{w|Noble Eightfold Path}}.<ref>"[[She of Little Faith]]"</ref> Though apparently not an adherent, she mentions she considers Wicca "very empowering" <ref>"[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]"</ref>

=== Vegetarianism ===
Lisa turned vegetarian due to ethical reasons.<ref name="Lisa the Vegetarian"/> This was also hinted in a flash forward where we see Lisa as a vegetarian in the future.<ref name="Lisa's Wedding">"[[Lisa's Wedding]]"</ref> On [[Paul McCartney]]'s demand, she stayed vegetarian still.

=== Music ===
[[File:Lisa sax.jpg|right|thumb|150px| Lisa playing the Sax]]
Her musical abilities are extensive: she sings with a powerful voice, and was seen playing the acoustic six-string,<ref name="Last Exit to Springfield"/> electric bass guitar, accordion and piano proficiently. Her greatest love's playing jazz on her baritone saxophone. Her musical inclinations were nurtured by her relationship with the late jazz musician [[Bleeding Gums Murphy]]. She most likely inherited her musical ability from Homer, also musically inclined.

=== Independent learning ===
She's fluent in Italian (learned from [[Milhouse Van Houten]] before going to Italy), as well as some French and German verbs (with the help of a German verbwheel <ref>"[[The Canine Mutiny]]"</ref>), as well as Spanish.

=== Romantic Relationships ===
Lisa met countless boys during the course of her life. Her dream crush is a heartthrob from local teen magazines, Corey. Lisa admitted to Homer she liked a boy from school [[Langdon Alger]] but she was only joking. Before [[Trappuccino]], Lisa fell in love with an Irish environmental boy named [[Colin]]. Colin can play the piano, guitar, trumpet, drums, and the bass guitar. Lisa tells Marge the best part about him is he's not imaginary.

==== Nelson Muntz ====
Lisa's first boyfriend is a less-than-stellar schoolmate, [[Nelson Muntz]]. Lisa once had a crush on him after she found herself strangely attracted to his grungy lifestyle enough to ask him out. After Nelson lied to Lisa about something, she decided to break up with him. However, since then, their romantic relationship is referred to several times throughout the series, most notably in the Season 22 episode, [[Loan-a Lisa]], where Lisa invests in Nelson's business venture. The episode ends with Nelson taking Lisa rollerblading and the pair holding hands, hinting at a possible future romance.

==== Luke Stetson ====
[[Luke Stetson]],<ref>"[[Dude, Where's My Ranch?]]"</ref> was also an object of Lisa's affection, short-lived after Lisa mislead Luke's sister to a dance.

==== Ralph Wiggum ====
[[Ralph Wiggum]] once had a crush on Lisa after Lisa sent him a Valentine's Day card, but his heart was broken after Lisa admitted on [[the Krusty the Klown Show]] she wasn't in love with him. They're currently just friends.

==== Milhouse Van Houten ====
Of all of the boys Lisa encountered, the most desperate and most prominent one was [[Milhouse Van Houten]], who always makes attempts to win Lisa's heart. On one occasion, in order to go on a school trip to Italy, Lisa was forced to learn Italian from Milhouse, who went to Italy countless times. This nearly caused Lisa to develop a crush on him, until she finds out Milhouse is with another girl,<ref>"[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]"</ref> prompting her to chase Milhouse angrily with a broom.
Lisa once tried to bring Milhouse to a school dance in [[Springfield Elementary]] but finds out he was taken.<ref>"[[Lard of the Dance]]"</ref> When Milhouse's parents were reported lost at sea, and Milhouse became a loner, Lisa and several other girls became attracted to his new personality. One time, when Milhouse fell in love with a new girl named [[Taffy]], Lisa got them to break up, and Lisa kissed him for the first time, and at the same time, she said she isn't sure if she loves him.<ref>"[[Homer Scissorhands]]"</ref>

====Colin====
The relationship between Lisa and [[Colin]], an environmentalist immigrant from Ireland, makes Milhouse jealous.<ref>''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref>

====Nick====
Lisa briefly fell in love with a boy, Nick, when meeting him at a lunch she attended with her mom for Valentine's Day. They continued to meet up, but when they met for the last time, Lisa decided she didn't really want to be with him, and he admits he isn't good as he says, commonly lying to girls to gain their affection.<ref>"[[The Daughter Also Rises]]"</ref>

=== Family ===
Lisa's relationship with her father's labored. The two occasionally get into arguments,<ref name="Lisa the Vegetarian"/><ref>"[[Lisa's Substitute]]"</ref><ref>"[[Lisa's Pony]]"</ref> but they also have moments where they really connect.<ref name="Lisa's First Word"/><ref>"[[Make Room for Lisa]]"</ref><ref>"[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]"</ref> Their relationship is usually one where [[Homer]] ignores Lisa, and Lisa avoids Homer. Lisa seems to be on good terms with her mother,[[Marge]], and the two have a good relationship with each other. Lisa also gets along pretty well with her baby sister, Maggie.
Being siblings, Lisa and her brother [[Bart]] constantly get into brawls. Their major brawl was after Bart destroyed Lisa's centerpiece for a Thanksgiving Dinner.<ref>"[[Bart vs. Thanksgiving]]"</ref> The two once competed against each other in hockey and tried to win over Homer's love.<ref>"[[Lisa on Ice]]"</ref> However, the two teamed up together many times, and they genuinely love each other. This is shown when the two were placed in third grade in the same class (Lisa was moved up from second grade while Bart was moved down). The two got lost in a field trip in Capital City, forcing them to work together to survive.<ref>"[[Bart vs. Lisa vs. 3rd Grade]]"</ref> When Milhouse temporarily left Springfield, Bart spent more time with Lisa, and the two developed a stronger bond.<ref>"[[Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]"</ref> When Milhouse returned, Bart tried to keep their new bond intact by promising to do her chores and giving her a hug. In one episode, Lisa almost told two college girls she thinks Bart's cute, but takes back the statement after remembering she's talking about her brother.

=== Future ===
[[File:President Lisa.png|thumb|150px|Lisa as president]]
At the age of 12, Lisa's saved from a house fire by [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]], which she later discovers was caused by him. At age 16, she's graduating from [[Springfield High School]] two years early and is about to go to {{w|Yale University}} on a scholarship provided by Mr. Burns. She's dating Milhouse she dumps after prom. Bart nearly takes her Yale scholarship but he returns it when he realizes she's more deserving. He also prevents her from getting back together with Milhouse because he thinks it'll ruin her life.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>

A few years later, Lisa rejects Milhouse's offer to marry him saying she doesn't intend to ever get married. At age 23, Lisa's in college and falls in love with a British man named [[Hugh Parkfield]] she becomes engaged to. When she introduces Hugh to her family, they embarrass her, and he quickly grows to hate them. Hugh plans to take her back to [[England]] where Lisa will lose all of her contact with them; however, she dumps him since she'll rather have her family.<ref name="Lisa's Wedding"/>

At an unknown point in adulthood, Bart's in need of a digestive tract transplant, somehow related to the mystery of '[[Fish Logs]]'. She asks townspeople who tell her the 'Fish Log' story which took place when she was still 8. She finds out Fish Logs brought Bart into the hospital in the first place when he ate them on a binge.<ref>"[[The Rise and Fall of Bartholomew J. Simpson]]"</ref>

At age 38, Lisa becomes the first heterosexual female President of the United States. The country's broke and is forced to bring a tax hike, but things get worse when Bart interrupts everything. The leaders of the other countries are about to beat her until Bart saves her. To make it up to him, she legalizes the use of cannabis.<ref>"[[Bart to the Future]]"</ref> Sh'is also married to Milhouse and the two have a teenage daughter, [[Zia Simpson]].<ref>"[[Holidays of Future Passed]]"</ref>

In old age, Lisa's married to Milhouse. She wants to take a poetry class, but they are broke and Milhouse spent all of the money on the electricity which wasn't enough. When Bart's younger, he finds out about this future and tries to prevent it.

Lisa also imagined herself married to Ralph Wiggum in the future.

=== Video Games ===
==== The Simpsons Road Rage ====
In "[[The Simpsons Road Rage]]", Lisa drives the [[Elec-Taurus]] car and is one of the default characters. You may also pick her up off the streets when not playing as her.

==== The Simpsons Hit & Run ====
Lisa is playable in the {{ap|Level 3|The Simpsons: Hit & Run}} of "[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]" as she looks for Bart after his disappearance. However, she makes an appearance in the first level in [[Springfield Elementary School]], where Homer has to give her the science project she forgot. By the time the seventh level has come around, Lisa is back in the Simpson house, and tells her father to go out and stock up on supplies. However, by the fourth mission, Lisa is back at the school, where she suggests that Homer goes to Mr Burns to buy nuclear waste, which is the aliens' weakness. When characters use the Malibu Stacy car in levels four, five, six,and seven Lisa appears in the car.

==== The Simpsons Game ====

== Trivia ==
*According to Milhouse, Lisa's eyes are gray, but according to Spud Cooder in "[[Bart Carny]]", Lisa's eyes are blue. This may indicated Milhouse is color-blind, though this may just be an inconsistency.
*Although she's always desperate for a boy (saying she'll never have a love life), she never seems to remember she was in a relationship with [[Colin]] and several others.
*Her romantic relationship with Nelson Muntz is mentioned or referred to throughout the series, evident in "[[Lisa's Date with Density]]", "[[Love, Springfieldian Style]]", "[[Dial "N" for Nerder]]", "[[Simpsons Tall Tales]]", "[[Sleeping with the Enemy]]", "[[Wild Barts Can't Be Broken]]" and "[[Elementary School Musical]]".
*In Chief Wiggum's records on the Springfield Mafia, Lisa's listed as a "possible romantic link" to Fat Tony's son [[Michael D'Amico|Michael]], whom she was friends with in "[[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]".<ref>"[[Chief Wiggum's Book of Crime and Punishment]]"</ref>
*She speaks Italian, due to the help of Milhouse Van Houten.
*She has an IQ of 156.
*Lisa's a member of MENSA and PETA.
*In "[[To Surveil with Love]]", she dyed her hair brown to prove the judges were biased against blondes.
*Her email's revealed in "[[The President Wore Pearls]]" as ''smartgirl63@yahoo.com''.
*Not many realized Lisa's still wearing her braces, it can't be seen since it was created almost invisible by Calvin Klein.
*Early on, before she became a vegetarian, fried shrimp was indicated as her favorite food.<ref>http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/7G10.html</ref><ref>http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/7F04.html</ref>
* She, along with her sister [[Maggie]], are obsessed with ''[[The Happy Little Elves]]'' television show, much to [[Bart]]'s dismay and disapproval. She usually responds to his thoughts by saying he's just like [[Gloomy]] and [[Chilly]].

== Behind the Laughter ==
=== Creation ===
[[File:MG01frame10.png|thumb|The first appearances of Marge and Lisa Simpson in "[[Good Night]]", a short from ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''.]]
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction.<ref name="americasfirstfamily">{{cite video|people=BBC|year=2000|title='The Simpsons': America's First Family (6 minute edit for the season 1 DVD)|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250735/|format=DVD|location=UK|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family, and Lisa is the name of one of his sisters.<ref name="americasfirstfamily"/> Lisa then made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the Tracey Ullman short "[[Good Night]]".<ref>Richmond, Ray; Antonia Coffman (1997). The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to our Favorite Family. Harper Collins Publishers, pg. 14. ISBN 0-00-638898-1</ref> [[Nancy Cartwright]], originally auditioned for the role of Lisa, but was soon told that her voice would be better suited voicing Bart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1017238.stm|title=Bart's voice tells all|accessdate=2007-05-16|date=2000-11-10|publisher=BBC News}}</ref> Yeardley Smith had initially been asked to audition for the role of Bart but casting director [[Bonita Pietila]] believed her voice was too high, so Smith was given the role of Lisa instead. In order to perform the voice, Smith lifts her voice up a little.<ref>{{cite news |title=She who laughs last|date=[[2007-12-08]]|accessdate=2008-02-09|page=8E|publisher=The Daily Telegraph|author=Charles Miranda}}</ref>

=== Development ===
In the Tracey Ullman Show shorts, Lisa was more of a "female Bart" and was as equally mischievous as her brother.<ref>{{cite video | people=Mirkin, David|year=2004|title=The Simpsons season 5 DVD commentary for the episode "Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> As the series progressed, Lisa began to develop into a more intelligent and more emotional character with "[[Krusty Gets Busted]]" being one of the first episodes where her true intelligence is fully shown.<ref name="Reiss">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Krusty Gets Busted"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Many episodes focusing on Lisa have an emotional nature, the first one being "[[Moaning Lisa]]". The idea for the episode was pitched by [[James L. Brooks]], who had wanted to do an emotional episode where Lisa is sad because the show had done a lot of "jokey episodes".<ref name="Reiss1">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Moaning Lisa"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

For a long time, Lisa's saxophone solos were provided by jazz baritone saxophonist Terry Harrington.

=== Cultural influence ===
In 2001 Lisa received a special "Board of Directors Ongoing Commitment Award" at the Environmental Media Awards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/spotlight/2001-11-15-simpsons.htm|title= Lisa Simpson animates environmental awards|author=W. Reed Moran|date=2001-11-15|accessdate=2007-10-17|publisher=USA Today}}</ref> "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]", an episode from the seventh season, won both an Environmental Media Award for "Best Television Episodic Comedy"<ref name="EMAIMDB">{{cite news|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/awards|title=Awards for "The Simpsons"|accessdate=2007-10-17|publisher=Internet Movie Database}}</ref> and a Genesis Award for "Best Television Comedy Series, Ongoing Commitment".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hsus.org/about_us/offices_and_affiliates/hsus_hollywood_office/the_genesis_awards/genesis_award_winners_and_memorable_moments/1995_genesis_awards.html|title=1995 Genesis Awards|accessdate=2007-10-21|publisher=hsus.org}}</ref> Lisa was also listed at number 11 in ''TV Guide's'' "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time."<ref>[http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/30/cartoon.characters.list/ CNN - TV Guide's 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters]</ref> In Japan, the broadcasters of the series found they were able to turn the apparent viewer dislike of the series around by focusing marketing attention on Lisa. Lisa's well-intended but ill-fated struggles to be a voice of reason and a force of good in her family and city struck a chord with the Japanese.

== ''[[My Little Pony]]'' Article ==
For cultural references articles, the "threshold" number of references to the subject (TV show, movie, comic, etc.) in ''The Simpsons'' to rate putting the article into the mainspace is five. I'm going to see what I can do about getting yours to that point. I can think of two more references off the top of my head, which probably means there are more to be found. In the future, though, you might do something like build the article in a sandbox page under your user name and work on it in there until you've got five references. I have a few like that in various stages of development. Anyway, the article looks good so far; it just needs some more meat on its bones. Regards, M. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 22:50, July 25, 2019 (EDT)
: My apologies, I must've misread the requirements for those kind of articles.

Russ Cargill

'''Russ Cargill''' is a successful businessman and the antagonistic EPA administrator.

== Biography ==
Russ is the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]]'s administrator and describes himself as a rich and successful man assigned to the least successful department of the government. He is first seen after a mutated squirrel is captured in [[Springfield]], and presents it to President Schwarzenegger. He then proposes five different solutions to the mass pollution in Springfield and the result is a giant glass dome placed over the town. He appears to the townsfolk via a giant holographic screen and explains that because Springfield has become the most polluted town on the Earth, the government has decided to contain it. Later, the [[Simpson family|Simpsons]] escape the dome, and Russ orders extreme and somewhat strange measures to be taken in support of the containment of the town and towards the capture of the Simpsons. One of his henchmen responds by claiming, "Sir I'm afraid you've gone mad with power!" to which Cargill responds, "Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It's boring; no one listens to you."

Cargill later appears once again discussing with the president, about a solution to dispose of Springfield and takes advantage of Schwarzenegger's attitude towards reading plans, tricking him into choosing a particular plan, which is to destroy Springfield. Later, Russ appears at a train station in Seattle after learning that [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] are on a train headed there and sends his troops in to capture them and return them to the dome. When the family are brought back after [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]'s failed attempt to rescue them, Russ contacts the town once again via the screen and tells them that the EPA is going to destroy Springfield and everybody within the dome. A helicopter arrives, lifts a plug off the top of the dome and lowers a bomb on a rope in front of the now-destroyed City Hall. Russ impatiently oversees the countdown, and [[Cletus Spuckler]] distracts him so the townspeople can escape up the rope. Homer, who has climbed the outside of the dome, jumps through the hole and knocks everyone and the bomb off of the rope and accidentally brings forward the detonation timer, prompting Russ to disappear at this point. Once the bomb detonates outside the dome and shatters it, a worn and battered Cargill wielding a shotgun ambushes Homer and Bart at Springfield Gorge and prepares to kill them in a final attack, but he is pranked by [[Bart|Bart Simpson]] about the "Treasure of Ima Weiner" before he is suddenly knocked out by a large rock shoved off from a nearby ledge by Maggie before he can fire a single shot. He was later seen during the [[Opening Sequence|ongoing reconstruction]].

== Behind the Laughter ==
[[File:Russ Cargil old.png|thumb|left|The prototype Russ Cargill from a deleted scene from ''The Simpsons Movie'' DVD]]
*In ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', Russ Cargill is voiced by [[Albert Brooks]]. His character has gone through many changes over the course of its development. An early version of the [[White House]] scene in the movie (available as a deleted scene in ''The Simpsons Movie'' DVD) shows an older model of Russ Cargill, who is arguably less menacing and antagonistic than the current incarnation. The older version is also the version given out in [[2007 Burger King figurines|Burger King Kid's Meals]] promoting the movie.
*It was also originally intended for him to be defeated by President Schwarzenegger with a tree branch but it was changed to Maggie with a boulder.
*Russ Cargill was not the first villain intended for the Simpsons Movie. The original villain was to be [[Hank Scorpio]] from the [[season 8]] episode "[[You Only Move Twice]]" and also voiced by Albert Brooks, but was changed for an unknown reason.

Darkanine: Adding festivals category.

[[File:Hullabalooza.png|250px|thumb|{{Ch|Peter Frampton}} performing at Hullabalooza]]
'''Hullabalooza''' is a music festival.

== History ==
[[Homer]] bought tickets for him, [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] to go to the event to prove that he was still cool. Here, he angered many of the fans and was picked up and he crowd surfed to the back of the audience, where he was thrown off. He then accidentally set off {{Ch|Peter Frampton}}'s big finish, an inflatable pig, which then hit Homer in the stomach and he took the hit well. Homer was then asked to join the freak show which traveled with Hullabalooza, where he would get cannonballs fired at his stomach. At his time with the show, Homer became friends with {{Chs|The Smashing Pumpkins}}, who were the signature act of the tour.

At another location, {{Chs|Cypress Hill}}, who were also on tour, took a [[London Symphony Orchestra]], which should have been Peter Frampton's, angering him once more. When the tour came to [[Springfield]], Homer avoided the cannonball after being told that if he took another hit, he could die. {{Chs|Sonic Youth}} also stole drinks from his food cooler, angering him a third time.

[[Impervo the Painless]] also performed here.

'''Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber Burns'''<ref>"[[Flaming Moe]]"</ref> is the owner and operator of the [[100 Industrial Way|Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]].

Mr. Burns frequently orders his aide, [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]], to "release the hounds," so as to let his vicious guard dogs attack any intruders, enemies or even invited guests. Mr. Burns is Springfield's richest and most powerful citizen. His net worth has been stated to be in the billion-dollar range, although at one point it slipped to "only" $996 million, which led to his being demoted from Billionaire Camp to Millionaire Camp.<ref>"[[The Burns and the Bees]]"</ref> Burns uses his power and wealth to do whatever he wants, usually without regard for consequences and without interference from the authorities. His fortune was once estimated to be $3 billion.<ref>"[[Hard Times]]"</ref>

=== Childhood ===
[[File:Young Burns.png|thumb|Burns as a child]]
The Burns family has deep roots in the United States. Where Burns was born is unspecified, although he has been said to have been born in Pangea.<ref>[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]</ref> Burns' date of birth is arguable. He is believed to have been born on September 15, 1890, although he himself says he was born in 1881. As a child, Burns lived happily in a northern state with his natural parents, [[Clifford Burns|Clifford]] and [[Daphne Burns]], as one of 11 children, one being the comedian [[George Burns]], and his teddy bear [[Bobo]]. As a child, Burns was so cheery and amiable that his parents called him "Happy", despite one of his family names being "Schicklgruber" (in real-life the name of Adolf Hitler's grandmother who gave birth to an illegitimate son who was the father of Adolf Hitler; the name "Schicklgruber" was used as a mocking insult of Hitler by political opponents before he became politically powerful). He used to have a penchant for reading comics as a child ("comical booklets"), but his father didn't like this. Clifford burned down the company that made the comics to teach his son a lesson. This may have been part of why Burns left so eagerly; to escape his father's cruelty.<ref name="Dark Knight Court">"[[Dark Knight Court]]"</ref>

At a young age he left his family to live with a twisted and heartless billionaire (who was actually his grandfather, a former slaveholder named Colonel [[Wainwright Montgomery Burns]]), who owned an "atom mill" in Springfield, where laborers split atoms by hitting anvils with sledgehammers. Burns lived a life of privilege and would amuse himself by injuring hapless immigrant laborers; it appears that Wainwright was directly responsible for turning Charles Montgomery from a pleasant child into a coldhearted man, much like himself.<ref name="Rosebud">"[[Rosebud]]"</ref>
[[File:Mr burns WW2.jpg|thumb|left|Burns with Abe Simpson during WWII]]
Charles Montgomery Burns later attended [[Yale University]].<ref name="Baby Burns">"[[Burns, Baby Burns]]"</ref>

=== Pre-World War 2 ===
For a time Burns lived in [[Paris]], where he met and fell in love with his cousin [[Lyla]]. At one point, he proposed, but she rejected him because of his evil ways, and they didn't speak for decades.<ref name="Four Regrettings and a Funeral">"[[Four Regrettings and a Funeral]]"</ref>

In 1939, at Burns' 25-year college reunion, he became romantically involved with the daughter of an old flame. She would later bear his child, [[Larry Burns]], who was given up for adoption and would later enter Mr. Burns' life briefly.<ref name="Baby Burns"/>

=== World War II ===
Burns served in the [[Flying Hellfish]] during [[World War II]], holding the rank of private after being demoted for his involvement in a romantic scandal and attempting to block a probe from J. Edgar. Burns is proud of the fact that he manufactured shells for the Nazis, seeing himself as being superior to {{W|Oskar Schindler}} because "my shells worked, dammit!"<ref>"[[A Star Is Burns]]"</ref>

A member of Springfield's Flying Hellfish battalion (even though it was later shown that Mr. Burns was in the SS, the special forces of the Nazi army), he saw action in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, serving under Sergeant [[Abraham Simpson]]. He was later transferred to the South Pacific with part of his squad. During the closing years of the war, when his platoon was clearing out a German-occupied castle, Mr. Burns came across several valuable portraits. Since they couldn't decide on who they should go to, they decided to enter into a tontine, which Mr. Burns was removed from decades after the war, after being dishonorably discharged when he tried to kill Abe. The paintings were later handed back to a German whose relatives owned them.<ref>"[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]"</ref>
[[File:MrBurnsVest.gif|thumb|Mr Burns showing off his expensive clothing]]

=== Post World War II ===
At the end of World War II he was personally hired by President [[Harry S. Truman]] to transport a specially-printed trillion-dollar bill to Europe as the United States' contribution to the reconstruction of the continent. As the United States' richest citizen, Burns was thought to be also the most trustworthy. Burns absconded with the bill and kept it in his possession for many years until it was lost to [[Fidel Castro]].<ref>"[[The Trouble with Trillions]]"</ref>
[[File:Burns SS Card.png|thumb|left|Montgomery Burns revealing he was a member of the SS]]
Burns spent time as a biochemist and bioterrorist before purchasing the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. During the 1960s, Burns operated a biological weapons laboratory until it was destroyed by peace activists - including [[Homer]]'s mother, [[Mona Simpson]].

In the 1970s, Burns bought the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. When he arrived in Springfield this time (for what Marge thought was the first time) he seemed to have changed and promised cheap electricity for all. He came into town riding an elephant and a young [[Moe Szyslak]] asked to touch the elephant, which Mr. Burns allowed him to do.<ref>"[[Them, Robot]]"</ref> Burns currently owns the plant, although he has parted with it several times, including when he sold it to German investors, when the bank foreclosed on it and put [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] in charge, when he lost all of his money in a bet with [[The Rich Texan|Colonel O'Hara]], and when Homer and [[Bart]] staged a hostile takeover of it. In each of these instances, Burns regained ownership of the nuclear plant.

After allowing his assistant to sacrifice himself to stop a potential nuclear meltdown, he secretly raised his son Waylon Smithers, Jr. as his own. He is unaware that Smithers is gay and has had a crush on him for years. Their relationship has had its rough spots, as Smithers was one of the prime suspects in the shooting of Mr. Burns in 1995. Mr. Burns has grown to be the oldest man in Springfield
[[File:Evil Burns.png|thumb|Mr. Burns in his typical evil mood]]

== Character ==
=== Personality ===
Mr. Burns embodies a number of stereotypes about Corporate America, as he has an unquenchable desire to increase his own wealth and power. Burns also embodies the stereotype of a manager by forgetting his employees' names (especially Homer's, despite it appearing that they interact more than Burns does with most of his employees), though this can be attributed to his senility. Burns is also unconcerned for their safety and well-being. His aspirations to apply obsolete technology to everyday life or references to Victorian-era people or places provide a common source of humor on the show. Recently, he has become less evil and more eccentric.

Although Mr. Burns has a vast amount of money, he doesn't do charity, and simply releases "The Hounds" at any charity collectors coming to his mansion.

Mr. Burns seems to enjoy bossing his assistant, Waylon Smithers, Jr., to do everything for him, from getting him dressed to driving him about.

[[File:Ketchup Catsup.png|thumb|Mr Burns struggles to understand Ketchup and Catsup]]
At times, Burns appears to be completely removed from modern conventions and, sometimes, reality. He continually fails to recognize Homer Simpson or remember his name despite all the major events in Burns' life on the series have revolved around him in some way, similar to [[Krusty]] not remembering Bart's name. Burns is also for the most part unaware of the townspeople's general dislike of him.

Mr. Burns uses archaic phrases and antiquated expressions that have either changed meanings or fallen out of common usage in American English, including score (meaning 20), twain (two), post-haste (quickly), petroleum distillate (gasoline), gay (jolly), dean (principal), velocitator and deceleratrix (a car's accelerator and brake), aeromail (post by air), lollygagger (slacker), fourth form (fourth grade), ahoy-hoy (hello), jumping box and picto-tube (television), Autogyro (helicopter), DictaBelt (dictation machine), the New York Nine (New York Yankees), horseless sleigh (snowmobile, although it could just mean that he was trying to be a mysterious character), crackleberries (peanuts), talkie (movies with sound), thrice (three times), and mater (mother). He also answers the telephone in the same way that the man widely credited for the ''Invention'' of the Telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, is purported to have answered it ('Ahoy, Hoy?'). In one episode he also rings Smithers and says "Smithers, come here, I want you.", a take on what are reputedly the first words spoken by Alexander Graham Bell on his telephone ("Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you").

He also displays mannerisms which are considered outdated, such as practicing phrenology, writing with a quill pen, driving a [[1936 Stutz Bearcat]] while wearing a Edwardian motorist's outfit which includes hat, driving gloves and goggles, carrying a mace for self defense (though the weapon actually shown was a flail), driving without regard to traffic laws in the manner of early 20th century motorists, and using an antique view camera to take photographs.

Burns appears unaware of 20th century political and social developments, such as Fidel Castro replacing Fulgencio Batista as the President of [[Cuba]], Siam changing its name to Thailand, the [[Belgian Congo]] changing its name to the Congo-Kinshasa, Prussia being absorbed into the [[Germany|German]] Empire, [[India]] gaining its independence from the British Empire, New Mexico entering the [[United States]], the Wall Street Crash of 1929, Idlewild Airport changing its name to JFK Airport, the disbanding of the Negro Leagues, the desegregation of the Major Leagues, [[Joe DiMaggio]] no longer being a rookie, the extinction of the dodo, the demolition of the Polo Grounds, the ceasing of publication of Collier's Weekly, the demise of the DuMont Television Network, believing tires need to be revulcanized, confusing {{Chs|Ramones}} with [[The Rolling Stones]] ("have the Rolling Stones killed"), thinking cars are still operated by levers, believing mail may still be delivered by autogyro (once asking for a package to be delivered by autogyro to the Prussian Embassy in Siam) and the occurrence of the 1939 World's Fair.

Mr. Burns' investment portfolio includes long-defunct shares in "Confederated Slaveholdings, Transatlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's Inflammable Powder, U.S. Hay", and an "up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company".

Burns commonly refers to deceased persons as if they were alive, including Al Jolson, Tallulah Bankhead, Louise Brooks, Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, and Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown.

He also believes some social institutions and inventions are novel or nonexistent, such as musicals about "the common cat" and "the King of Siam", the Packard automobile, the Fire Department, ice cream (or "iced cream"), vending machines, recycling, strip clubs, the DuMont, the word "into", silent films like the 1929 ''Lulu'', and the synonymity of ketchup and catsup. While trying to chat up a young woman, Burns offers to play the clavichord and show stereopticon images of the Crimean War.

=== Health ===
[[File:Mr burns hurts homer.jpg|thumb|left|Mr. Burns strangling Homer, in a menacing fashion]]
Burns has numerous physical ailments and health problems, or more accurately he has nearly 'every' physical ailment and health problem. He is often to the point where he seems to straddle the line between life and death. On prior occasions, Burns may have died. Presently, Burns has a condition known as "Three Stooges Syndrome" where a delicate state of homeostasis is created by the presence in his body of every disease known to man and other newly-discovered diseases unique to him, which, when all trying to invade his body simultaneously, cancel out each other. Mr. Burns took this as being invincible, although the doctor who told him this implied that the slightest breeze could kill him.<ref name="The Mansion Family">"[[The Mansion Family]]"</ref>

Physically weak, he often has great difficulty performing the most basic physical tasks, such as giving a thumbs-up, receiving a hug, crushing a paper cup, or stepping on an insect. He is weak enough to be pushed over by an ant or a high-five, or pushed down by a sponge scrub on his head (although he was able to eventually get up in the latter case). Bunting a baseball sends him flying to the backstop. The weight of Toothpaste on his Toothbrush is enough to pull him over.<ref>This is shown in [[The Simpsons Movie]].</ref> He has a hunched back and his vertebral column is visible when he is viewed from the side. His exposure to radiation has given his skin a green glow (though seen in only one episode) and left him infertile. Once a 1000 dollar bill bruised him leaving a reverse imprint of Grover Cleveland on his chest.<ref>"[[The Regina Monologues]]"</ref> When Burns was incarcerated at Springfield's penititiary, when he was getting a mug shot, the camera flash was able to slam him against a wall and knock him out.
[[File:Burns' alien.png|thumb|Burns was once mistaken for an alien after his weekly medical treatments.]]
His organs have grown immensely weak over the years. His heart is black, desiccated, and barely beats or does not beat at all. It is shrunken to the size of a cherry. Burns' blood type is double-O negative.<ref>"[[Blood Feud]]"</ref> When his finger is pricked, he bleeds dust, and when his arm is poked with a needle, the needle passes through his arm like Meringue as his doctor described it. On one occasion, a chunk of Burns' brain fell out through his ear. Another time, his lungs came out through his mouth and acted like an airbag. On another occasion, he indicated in an off-hand manner that he only has a single lung. If he is not careful, fluid can build up in his hands, causing them to swell to enormous proportions, and his fingers have been shown to flap in the breeze released from a bowling ball dispenser. It has been revealed that if Burns sweats even one drop, he could die of dehydration unless he takes a bath immediately. Burns has also lost body parts due to leprosy (one example is when he lost an entire fingernail in a cup). Both his legs have a crease in them, down the entire length.

When Mr. Burns learnt he had the [[House Cat Flu]] and he had only 6 months to live, he decided to announce all Springfieldians. However, after seeing nobody cared about him, he tried to jump from a cliff to kill himself. he didn't die, but he did lose his memory and became a weak, innocent person. People tried to take revenge on him. He later discovered he survived to the flu, and thought kindness kept him alive, but after almost because of dying because of giving [[Ralph]] a candy, he realized his spite what keeps him alive.

==== Medical treatment ====
[[File:Burns in The Fool Monty.png|right|thumb|Mr. Burns when Bart brought him to his home after he tried to kill himself]]
Mr. Burns' medical treatment includes a weekly procedure which includes chiropractics, a painful vocal cord scraping, and an injection of pain-killers; its purpose is to postpone his death for one week. This makes his eyeballs grow to an unnatural size, and he becomes temporarily "nice." He also glows green, a result of working in a nuclear plant for ages. This once caused Homer to mistake him for an alien, though no one believed him, thinking him to have been drunk (he drank about ten bottles of a new type of beer, '[[Red Tick Beer]]' made out of beer and dog fleas). [[Lisa]] tried to prove that Burns was not an alien, by pointing a flashlight at him, which revealed him in his "nice" form. The townspeople still believed he was a monster and wanted to kill him anyway, but Smithers rushed in and stopped them, explaining that it was really Mr. Burns. He also has his brain flushed out with vinegar and his eyes "re-balled". Burns' knees are also sent out to be repaired at a "shop." His dentures replace themselves.<ref>"[[The Springfield Files]]"</ref> In the future, Burns may be kept alive by cryonics.

He once broke all his bones (Though this was understandable, as he was knocked down onto the street below his main office, and besides which, he also had his stuffed Polar bear statue fall on top of him due to a fight between Smithers and Homer).

On rare occasions he has displayed great strength and skill, such as when he managed to singlehandly capture [[Loch Ness monster]] Nessie (though it was never explained how he did so bar that it swallowed him) and when he rescued his girlfriend Gloria from a burning building (although she wound up carrying him out of the blaze).

=== Career ===
At the nuclear plant, Burns spends most of time in his office, monitoring his workers via closed circuit cameras. In his office he keeps a team of ten high-priced lawyers, a scale model of Springfield, a special microbe-resistant chamber, a two-seat escape pod, and the "League of Evil" - a sinister cabal whose members are long deceased but whose skeletons remain. The boobytraps in Burns' office include cricket poison, a secret trapdoor (though he sometimes forgets where it is), a catapult that fires 100 gram weights, and a ceiling-mounted suction tube which he can use to transport dissident workers to [[Morocco]]. He is also a loan officer at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Employee's Credit Union.<ref>"[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]"</ref>

[[Kent Brockman]] also credits Burns with having stolen Christmas from 1981 to 1985.

He was once forced to work in a Sweatshop, along with other billionaires such as [[Artie Ziff]], [[Aristotle Amadopolis]] and [[Rich Texan]].

He also claims to have participated in the Boston Tea Party.

Burns has also owned or co-owned a number of business ventures in Springfield, including the [[Monty Burns Casino]] (later demolished),<ref>"[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]"</ref> Li'l Lisa" recycling (an ocean slurry manufacturing plant),<ref>"[[The Old Man and the Lisa]]"</ref> and [[Burns Slant Drilling Co.]],<ref>. Burns owned this in "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]"</ref> Burns Media, the electric company, the water works and even a hotel on Baltic Avenue.

Burns has used his power and wealth to blackmail and bribe various members of Springfield, including [[Joe Quimby|Mayor Quimby]], as well as safety inspectors. He once attempted to block out the sun to force Springfield residents to increase their use of electricity produced by the Nuclear Plant and was subsequently shot by [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]];. The town routinely is subject to Burns' abuse, such as Burns' stealing of Christmas from 1981 to 1985 and there is a general dislike of him throughout the town.

In ''The Simpsons: Hit & Run, ''it is implied that he had a business partner that he killed. He stated this in level 7, mission 4, when Homer goes to his office, Mr. Burns mistakes him for the ghost of his former partner, and is relieved when Homer tells him that it is just him.
[[File:Homer the Smithers.jpg|thumb|right|Burns' bedroom in Burns Manor]]

=== Residence ===
{{main|Burns Manor}}
Burns resides in a vast, ornate mansion on an immense estate called ''[[Burns' manor]]'', located at 1000 Mammon Lane, on the corner of Croesus and Mammon streets in the '[[Springfield Heights]]' district. It is protected by a high wall, an electrified fence and a pack of vicious attack dogs known as "The Hounds", one of whom is named [[Winston]].
[[File:Burns' manor.png|thumb|left|Burns Manor]]
He usually releases the whole lot of hounds towards guests (implied only to drive out the guests from the house and without the actual intention of hurting the guests<ref>The Simpsons Movie</ref>), but if the guest manages to make Mr. Burns feel extremely gratified (such as when Homer interviewed him for an opium war), he will reduce the hounds released to the extent of only one hound actually being employed. In addition he has at least one 30+ yr old dog named Crippler, who is so old he has trouble walking. Crippler is known for bagging hippies - something they don't find too groovy at all. At times he has employed for protecting a force of ''Wizard of Oz'' - style guards, a personal paramilitary force, a riot police squad and a [[robotic Richard Simmons]].
The inside of the mansion includes a room containing a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters, a bottomless pit, a human chess board, the largest television in the free world, a 'Hall of Patriots' commemorating his ancestors, a laboratory, a botanical garden of vultures bearing his likeness, a safe containing a Beefeater guard and a theater that is showing round-the-clock which plays regardless whether there is an audience or not. There also is a TV studio and a CCTV room. His residence also contains a closet full of clothes made from many different types of animals, such as a vest made from Gorilla chest and loafers made from gophers.

The mansion is also home to many rare historical artifacts including the only existing nude photo of [[Mark Twain]], the suit [[Charlie Chaplin]] was buried in, [[King Arthur]]'s mythical sword Excalibur, and a rare first draft of the Constitution with the word "suckers" in it.

=== Relationships ===
Burns has been engaged at least three times: a woman named Gertrude who died of loneliness and rabies, to [[Jacqueline Bouvier]], and to a policewoman named [[Gloria]]. He once had an affair with Countess von Zeppelin. [[Agnes Skinner]] let Burns "feel her up" during the Depression.<ref>"[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]"</ref> Burns caught the attention of [[Selma Bouvier]] when she discovered he's single.<ref>"[[Monty Can't Buy Me Love]]"</ref>
[[File:Burns and Gloria.PNG|thumb|Burns and Gloria]]
What is not widely known is that Charles Montgomery Burns and Homer Simpson are related by marriage (Which makes his making Bart his heir in one episode extremely ironic, as Bart would be related to Mr. Burns anyway). According to a family tree:

:Charles Montgomery Burns was born to Clifford Burns and Daphne Charle (hence the name ''Charles''),
:Clifford Burns was born to Wainwright Montgomery Burns and [[Evelyn Graycomb]].
:Evelyn Graycomb was born to [[Otto Graycomb]] and Lolly Dubois.
:Lolly Dubois was born to Lance Dubois and [[Clarice Stemple]].
:Clarice Stemple is the sister of [[Gaylord Stemple]].
:Gaylord Stemple married [[Trixie Simpson]].
:Trixie Simpson is the Granddaughter of [[Sven Simpson]].
:Sven Simpson is the great, great, great, great, great Grandfather of Homer Simpson.

Mr. Burns' great-great-grandmother's sister-in-law's 4th great-grandson is Homer Simpson.

Mr. Burns had a strained relationship with his own mother, whom he's apparently tried to kill at least once, who had an affair with President Taft and lives in her 120's. He is Lisa's opposite, with no conscience or care for the environment in many episodes, and Lisa often opposes him. Occasionally, she agrees to work with him, but with great reluctance.

When he was asked the cause of his parents' deaths, he replied: "Got in my way",<ref name="The Mansion Family"/> however, his mother was seen alive at least once.<ref>"[[Homer the Smithers]]"</ref>

=== Organizations ===
[[File:Two Cars.png|thumb|right|Mr Burns is served a three eyed fish while running for governor]]
Mr. Burns is a member of various organizations. In his younger years, while a student at Yale University, he was a member of Skull and Bones. During World War II, Burns became a member of the Flying Hellfish squad, a group of soldiers who entered into a tontine regarding the ownership of German artwork. Burns was a member of the [[Stonecutters]] until it disbanded, at which time he joined the secret society that succeeded it: The Ancient Mystic Order of No-Homers. (One source of dislike of Burns for the "Stonecutters' is that despite his wealth and greed, he is outranked by Lenny.). He is currently the head of the [[Springfield Republican Party]] and once headed a short lived religion. He is also a member of the "Excluders Club", the [[Springfield Golf and Country Club]], and the National Rifle Association. He holds a chair (a demonic throne with snarling dogs chained to it) at [[Springfield University]] and controls an anti-democratic paramilitary force in Latin America.

Burns once attended the annual Billionaire's Retreat, where he won the Austin Celtics basketball team from the Rich Texan in a poker game. After severely mismanaging the team, he lost nearly half his net worth.  At the following year's retreat,  it was discovered he was no longer a billionaire.  He was ejected from the camp, and thrown over a wall into the slack-jawed millionaire's camp.<ref>The Burns and the Bees</ref> 

He once tried to run for Governor – until Marge Simpson forever ruined his chances with a [[Blinky|three-eyed fish]]. At the end he echoes Charles Foster Kane ({{w|Citizen Kane}}) by crying out his name in rage—and vows for the rest of his life to make Homer Simpson's life miserable.<ref>This happens in [[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]"</ref>

Burns was a Freemason "before it was trendy."<ref>"[[Gone Maggie Gone]]"</ref>

Mr. Burns is later cryogenically frozen. Scientists work to find a cure for 17 stab wounds to the back so that he can be thawed out and cured. He was cured in ttime to attend Lisa Simpson's wedding. He isn't completely thawed, and when he tries to sit down, he snaps in half, which is also cured.<ref>"[[Lisa's Wedding]]"</ref> Later he is a shut-in who sponsors a Yale scholarship as punishment for stealing Christmas. He keeps diamonds to have them changed into Earth's most precious mineral of the age: coal. His home is also guarded by a large group of unicorn-clam creatures (uni-clams).<ref>"[[Holidays of Future Passed]]"</ref> Billions of years into the future, Burns lives in the form of a partial android with his robot dog sidekick Smithers.

== Behind the Laughter ==
[[File:Homer's Odyssey (Mr. Burns Looking Out the Window).png|thumb|Mr Burns' appearance in [[Homer's Odyssey]]]]
=== Creation ===
Burns's character, appearance, and mannerisms are based on several different people. The show's creator [[Matt Groening]] principally based Burns on Fredrik Olsen, a reclusive Norwegian shipping magnate and the owner of Timex. Drawing further inspiration from oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, David Rockefeller and fictional character Henry Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, Groening made Burns the "embodiment of corporate greed". Animator [[David Silverman]] parodied Burns's appearance on Fox founder Barry Diller, and modeled his body on a praying mantis. The idea of Burns reading employee names off cards in "There's No Disgrace Like Home" came from an article about Ronald Reagan that writer [[Al Jean]] had read. In some episodes, parallels have been drawn between Burns and moguls such as Howard Hughes and, more frequently, fictional character Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane. Writer George Meyer lifted Burns's "Excellent!" hand gesture from his former Saturday Night Live colleague Jim Downey.

Matt Groening got Burns's middle name from a Montgomery Ward department store in Portland, Oregon's Northwest Industrial district and his surname from Burnside Street, a main thoroughfare in Portland. Burns's first name being Charles is a reference to Charles Foster Kane. In the script for "[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]", Al Jean and [[Mike Reiss]] referred to him as "Mr. Meany".<ref>''[[Springfield Confidential]]'' Chapter 6</ref>

In the second season, the writers started to enjoy writing about Smithers and Burns's relationship, and they often pitched episodes with them as the focus, but many never came to fruition.

=== Voice ===
Burns was originally voiced by actor Christopher Collins in the episode "[[Homer's Odyssey]]". He was soon replaced by Harry Shearer, who has voiced the character ever since. He modeled the voice on Lionel Barrymore and Ronald Reagan. Shearer is also the voice of Smithers and is able to perform dialogue between the two characters in one take. Shearer said that Burns is the most difficult character for him to voice because it is rough on his vocal cords and he often needs to drink tea and honey to soothe his voice. He describes Burns as his favorite character, saying he "like[s] Mr. Burns because he is pure evil. A lot of evil people make the mistake of diluting it. Never adulterate your evil."
[[File:Mr burns action figure.jpg|thumb|A Mr. Burns action figure]]

=== Age ===
Mr. Burns' age has fluctuated during the course of the show, being explicitly stated he was 81 in "[[Simpson and Delilah]]" and as old as 104 in "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]", "[[Homer the Smithers]]" and "[[A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love]]". In the episode "[[Fraudcast News]]", Burns claims that he was born in 1881, making him 123 years old (when the episode aired in 2004). He has been referred to as "Springfield's oldest resident" with a Social Security number of 000-00-0002 (damning Roosevelt for having 0001).

Frequent allusions to Mr. Burns' age place his date of birth in the late 19th century, which would make him at the least more than 100 years old. He says he had a driver's license that expired in 1909, graduated from Yale University in 1914, was depicted in a 19th century woodcut terrorizing children (which, surprisingly, features him as an old man). Mr. Burns has also claimed that he has survived through 12 economic recessions and 8 panics.

Other references to Mr. Burns' age place him at thousands of years old. His ATM password, which is the same as his age, is four digits long (although it is possible the first and/or second digits are 0). Mr. Burns' birthplace has also been named as Pangaea.<ref>"[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]"</ref> Also, in the one time appearance of his "league of evil", a group of evil doers from many eras of history, many of the members are quite ancient historically. Since the assumption can be made that Burns must have known all of them before they died (although by the time of that episode they had all long since died), this pushes his age back at least another 500 years, if not much more. He also from time to time takes up arms against someone he perceives as his enemy, the joke being his feebleness and the archaic nature of his chosen weapons (i.e., a morning star in his limousine, a blunderbuss, dueling pistols, etc.). Familiarity with the use of these weapons must make him of considerable age, especially the morning star, since this hasn't been a widely used weapon since the late medieval era.

In an issue of ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'', Smithers states Mr. Burns is 118 years old.{{Fact}}

Burns's wine cellar also has trophy heads of a T-Rex, a Pteranodon, a Triceratops, a Stegosaurus and an unidentified sauropod.

However, because his mother, who is currently alive, is in her 120s, Burns would have to be younger.

Burns' age provides the writers a character with which they can express dated humor and references to popular culture before the 1950s.

Although Burns is younger than Abe Simpson in all the World War II flashbacks, he is always older than Abe in nearly all other sources.

In "[[Them, Robot]]", Homer asked for his ''real'' age, and he said it had 4 digits, but was interrupted before he finished.

In ''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]'', the Simpson family tree shows Mr. Burns on the same row as Abe, meaning he is probably a similar age to him. Also in the album, there is a news report when Burns was 25 and Abe was 29, making Burns 4 years younger than Abe.

In "[[The Man in the Blue Flannel Pants]]" he said he was a passenger on the ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]''.

'''Otto Mann''' is the [[Springfield Elementary]] bus driver. He enjoys playing guitar and calls almost everyone "dude". One of Otto's recurring passenger is [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], whom he often calls "Lil' Bart Dude." He has long black hair, and wears a light pink short-sleeved shirt and purple shorts. He also wears an orange hat with headphones on. He loves heavy metal and classic rock.

== Biography ==
[[File:Otto Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
Otto is notable for his maniacal driving style, his love of heavy metal music, and his propensity for sounding and acting like a perpetual 1980s teenager. According to his drivers license, he was born on January 18, 1963. Otto also attended Brown University, where he graduated Sigma, taught briefly and almost received tenure.

He was placed under suspension at least twice: Once after he not only crashed a School Bus full of kids for the 15th time, but was also revealed to not possess a drivers license<ref name="Otto Show">"[[The Otto Show]]"</ref> and another time when, out of fury that Bart stole the bus (and thus cost him his one and only chance of proving himself to Metallica by giving them a ride), spanked him "for every Bus Driver, Teacher, Lunchlady, etc." and getting caught by Principal Skinner (as he wasn't supposed to deal Corporal Punishment on kids).<ref name="Mook">"[[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]"</ref>

He has been seen at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings: "My name is Otto, and I love to get blotto!".

Otto is a drug addict, and has been seen smoking Marijuana <ref>"[[Weekend at Burnsie's]]"</ref><ref>"[[The Strong Arms of the Ma]]"</ref> and during [[Trappuccino]], he used a bong.<ref>''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref> It has been implied that Otto used other drugs like heroin and LSD.
He once had a hallucination in which his shoes were talking to him as a result of his drug abuse.<ref name="Homerpalooza">"[[Homerpalooza]]"</ref> Also, at one point, he was apparently driving the bus while on Narcotics, wondering if Metallica was indeed the real Metallica with their tour bus broken down, until a narcotic-induced hallucination of a dragon confirmed he wasn't seeing things in regards to Metallica.<ref name="Mook"/> Otto once submitted a urine sample as part of an application for a job as a prison guard, which contained "crack, smack, uppers, downers, outers, inners, horse tranquilizers, cow paralyzers, blue bombers, green goofers, yellow submarines" and "LSD Mach 3". However, he got the job anyway because he swapped the labels on his urine sample and [[Homer Simpson]]'s.<ref>"[[The Seven-Beer Snitch]]"</ref>
[[File:Busman.png|200px|left|thumb|[[Busman]], a superhero created by Otto.]]
Otto has a huge passion for rock music, being very skillful at playing the guitar (saying that it was the only thing he did in high school).<ref name="Otto Show"/> Otto's favorite songs include "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin, "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group, "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison, "Purple Haze" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and "We're an American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad. He claims that music is about far off lands (Immigrant Song), deals with the devil (The Devil Went Down to Georgia) and smoke in relation to water (Smoke on the Water)
He also likes Metallica, which is referenced several times, but he doesn't state particular songs. He once actually met the band after driving past their broken tour bus. Otto apparently saved Kirk Hammett from quitting the band after seeing his lighter in a concert at Springfield Arena in 1997. When he tried to offer Metallica a ride, [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] drove off with the school bus.<ref name="Mook"/> He also once mistook a line at the Post Office set up for tax day for a Metallica concert, and didn't realize his mistake until after Kent Brockman asked him why he waited until the last minute to file his tax returns.<ref>"[[The Trouble with Trillions]]"</ref>
At a mock-medieval fair at [[Springfield Elementary School|the school]], Otto played a lute solo in the style of Jimi Hendrix's guitar solos. He put the lute behind his head to play it, smashed it, and then lit the remains on fire on the floor (just as Hendrix did on June 18, 1967 at the Monterey Pop Festival).<ref>"[[The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star]]"</ref>
Otto was engaged to be married and plays "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison while proposing to Becky, but when forced to choose between his fiancée and his music, he prefers his music, dumping her.<ref>"[[It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge]]"</ref>

Otto is also implied to be a comic book fan, and even has an artistic side. He even created and designed a superhero named [[Busman]], a man who drives a school bus by day and fights vampires in a post-apocalyptic warzone by night. He went to a comic book convention to present the idea to [["Jolly" Jack Tate]], and it's unknown what came of it.<ref>"[[Three Men and a Comic Book]]"</ref>

He is often found homeless, having been evicted from his apartment and once forced to live with the Simpsons house.<ref name="Otto Show"/> He was once found squatting in the Simpsons' recently-vacated home after the family moved to [[Cypress Creek]].<ref>"[[You Only Move Twice]]"</ref>

He has been seen with [[Princess Kashmir]] on a few occasions<ref>"[[Flaming Moe's]]"</ref><ref>"[[Dumbbell Indemnity]]"</ref> and attended [[Artie Ziff]]'s fake prom recreation with [[Miss Hoover]].<ref>"[[Half-Decent Proposal]]"</ref>

Otto had sex with Agnes Skinner at the Simpsons' Mardi gra party.<ref>"[[No Loan Again, Naturally]]"</ref>

He also once hooked up with [[Luann Van Houten]].<ref>"[[Moe Letter Blues]]"</ref>

He was seen on a date with [[Lindsey Naegle]], however this was within Marge's dream so it's unknown whether they have ever actually dated.<ref>"[[Every Man's Dream]]"</ref>

During "grownup Halloween" he got together with [[Cookie Kwan]].<ref>"[[Halloween of Horror]]"</ref>

=== School Bus Driver===
[[File:Springfield Elementary School Bus.png|thumb|250px|right|The [[School Bus]]]]
Otto's ability and competence to drive any kind of vehicle, let alone a school bus, is highly questionable. Otto does not seem to have any respect for the rules of the road, although on one occasion he told [[Bart]] that state law disallowed him from intentionally crashing the bus. This showed that Otto at least had some common sense, or a clear desire not to go out of his way to cause trouble and put children in danger. He once told [[Principal Skinner]] that he has a record of crashing his school bus 15 times without a single fatality (although whether he had indeed achieved it without fatalities is questionable, as it was implied that he killed Spinal Tap when he demolished their tour bus when he was rushing to school).<ref name="Otto Show"/> He was dismissed from his job when the authorities discovered that he did not hold any kind of license, or any kind of identification at all (he stated that his identification was the fact that he wrote his name on his underwear, only to discover that he was wearing someone else's). He only attained his driving license thereafter because [[Patty Bouvier|Patty]] passed him, and this was despite him completely failing to drive the bus in a restrained and secure manner (she passed him because they shared a mutual hatred of [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], although Otto's license had a "PROBATIONARY" stamp on it). Otto has also been shown smoking or being under the influence of marijuana while driving the bus many times.

At one time, Otto crashed the bus full of children into the ocean (in this particular instance, it isn't his fault; he has grapefruit citric acid in his eyes that was caused by one of the kids rolling a grapefruit down the passenger aisle and it being caught between the brakes.), leaving his passengers to be washed up on an exotic island. Otto himself was seemingly rescued by a Chinese fishing trawler, unaware that its crew was actually planning to enslave him below decks.<ref>"[[Das Bus]]"</ref> He once accidentally drove his bus into an auto wrecking yard, crushing it into a scale model of the bus.<ref name="Homerpalooza"/>
Otto once got the bus stuck onto a rail road track and whilst jamming to rock music, the bus is struck by an oncoming train.<ref>"[[24 Minutes]]"</ref>

=== Family ===
Otto's father is a navy admiral, and the two do not get along (Jim Morrison's father was also a naval admiral who was estranged from his son). His father warned Otto that if he spent all day playing his guitar, his life would amount to nothing. He was once engaged to a girl named Becky, but at the wedding she revealed she couldn't stand heavy metal after he hired a Poison cover band to play at the ceremony. Marge then told him he had to choose between Becky and his music - he chose the latter, leaving Becky at the altar. In other episodes Otto has made reference to a girlfriend named [[Crystal]], though this could be a joke about crystal meth.

=== Future ===
In [[Lisa's Wedding]], he apparently retired from being a Bus Driver and founded a Taxi service business in Springfield. Otto himself appeared on a video screen in [[Joe Quimby|"Muhammad Jafar's"]] cab when he was driving [[Lisa Simpson]] and [[Hugh Parkfield]] to [[742 Evergreen Terrace]] to tell him, while addressing him by his real name that after doing the fare, he should "get his indicted ass to the convention center pronto!"
In 24 Minutes, he drives his bus into a railroad track, either seriously injuring or killing him.

=== The Simpsons Game ===
Otto first appears in the level [[Around the World in 80 Bites]] as a contestant in the Duff Ultimate Eating Challenge. He later appears in the form of a ghostly skeleton that attacks Homer, Marge, and their army of Hobbit-like children in [[NeverQuest]].

== Trivia ==
*He wears headphones with his Walkman because he doesn't want to let other people know he's listening to classical music.

== Behind the Laughter ==
*Otto's look is based on former Simpsons writer [[Wallace Wolodarsky]]. In the commentary for "[[Bart the Daredevil]]", it is revealed that the writers planned to name him "Otto Mechanic", but the joke never appeared in an episode.
*His name is a joke on the furniture ottoman's name, as well as Bart's tendency to greet him with "Otto, man!" In the episode, "[[It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge]]", when Otto puts on a top hat to propose to his girlfriend, Becky, he looks similar to Velvet Revolver and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash.

'''Superintendent Gary Chalmers''' is the superintendent<ref name="Bart Stops"/> of [[Springfield]]'s [[Springfield Elementary School|school]] district.

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Chalmers originally hails from [[Utica]], [[New York]],<ref>"[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]"</ref> but has also said that he comes from Queens, New York and [[Intercourse]], [[Pennsylvania]]. He attended Ball State University and is a proud owner of a red 1979 Honda Accord (and later, a Camry, which [[Otto Mann]] promptly wrecks). He mentioned to [[Seymour Skinner|Principal Skinner]] that he is a Sagittarius (b. November 22-December 22).<ref>''[[The Heartbroke Kid]]''</ref>

=== Teaching days ===
Chalmers used to teach, until he supervised a group of detention students called [[The Fight Club]] and they beat him up when he mistakenly called them "The Breakfast Club". After this, he never taught again and only superintended. Years later, he ended up teaching [[Bart Simpson]] and several other students about {{Ch|Theodore Roosevelt}} when [[Principal Skinner]] challenged him to take over Bart's education.<ref name="Bart Stops"/>

=== Personality ===
Chalmers is a strict, no-nonsense, and largely humorless man, with a short temper and low tolerance for disorder or rule-breaking. His general demeanor and personality are like those of a military officer. Whenever he visits Springfield Elementary, some sort of disaster strikes. He produces extreme anxiety in [[Principal Skinner]], who offers increasingly improbable stories to explain what is happening. Chalmers is known for throwing open the doors to the room and bellowing "SKINNER!!!" or "SEYMOUR!!!", to which Seymour's usual response is to stammer "S-Superintendent Chalmers!" Evidently, Chalmers' trademark bellowed catchphrase has caused some paranoia in Skinner.<ref>"[[Lisa's Date with Density]]"</ref>

Chalmers's own competence and dedication to his job are questionable. He let [[Ned Flanders]] allow the school to descend into anarchy when he was principal, freely admitting that he had fired Skinner for far less, explaining simply that "Skinner really bugged me." In fact, the only reason Chalmers even allowed Skinner to be reinstated as Principal was because Ned Flanders introduced prayer into the school, and thus was fired because Chalmers felt that religion should never be placed within school walls, just as school or government shouldn't be placed in church walls. He seems disturbingly unconcerned with the school's decline, saying that "the way America's public schools are sliding, they'll all be like this in a matter of months. I say enjoy it — it's a hell of a toboggan ride!" He also promotes people based on personal bias as opposed to actual competence, promoting Principal Holloway, described by Skinner as a "drunk" and Chalmers as a "pill-popper", to assistant superintendent, overlooking the efforts made by Skinner to improve his school's standing.
[[File:Chalmers bald.png|thumb|left|Chalmers with a bald head]]
When Springfield began erecting surveillance cameras around [[Springfield]] and [[742 Evergreen Terrace]] was discovered to be a blind spot and transformed into a crowding place for rebellious activity, Superintendent Chalmers was spotted swinging nunchucks while prancing in a Tutu.<ref>"[[To Surveil with Love]]"</ref>

He was once involved in a large brawl in the teacher's lounge and was knocked out after [[Dewey Largo]] punched him over a wooden balcony.

Chalmers and Skinner have also made [[Chalmskinn Productions]], an organization that the two school workers make when they sponsor [[Lisa]] in a film competition.

=== Romantic Interests ===
Chalmers once dated [[Agnes Skinner]], much to Skinner's dismay<ref>"[[Bart the Fink]]"</ref> (although on other occasions he has mentioned being married). Later, it is revealed that Chalmers is a widower and his wife's name was [[Rosemary Chalmers|Rosemary]].<ref name="Bart Stops"/>

Skinner once received a note by Bart's [[Raymond Bird|carrier pigeon]] stating that Chalmers and [[Edna Krabappel]] were "doing it", after Skinner read it, Chalmers backed out of the room awkwardly and claimed she was on the rebound from [[Groundskeeper Willie]].<ref>"[[How Munched Is That Birdie in the Window?]]"</ref> Chalmers also once said that he was dating the mother of one of the [[Springfield Elementary School|Springfield Elementary]] band students.<ref>"[[Flaming Moe]]"</ref>

He hooked-up with [[Brunella Pommelhorst]] during "Grownup Halloween".<ref>"[[Halloween of Horror]]"</ref>

=== Hair ===
When Chalmers was younger and a teacher, he had brown hair.<ref name="Bart Stops"/> However, he has since gone totally bald. His gray balding hairstyle is actually a toupee.<ref name="Replaceable"/>

=== Traits ===
On a few occasions, Chalmers says Skinner's name this way when absolutely nothing has gone wrong, implying that he probably pronounces Skinner's name this way out of habit (e.g. once saying "SKINNNEERR! and [[Agnes Skinner|Mrs. SKINNNEERR!]]") This habit seems to also have an effect on words that rhyme with "Skinner", such as "I must get home to make sure my pool boy is using his SKIMMMEERR!", "...catch a fish for his DINNNEERR!" and "SPINNNEERR" after yelling at [[Bart Simpson]] for spinning in Skinner's chair.

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}
=== Future ===
In one possible future, Chalmers is practically a vegetable, wheelchair-bound and only capable of saying his trademark line: "Skinner!"<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>

In another possible future, Chalmers is a colonel of an army that he leads on the planet [[Rigel 7]] to fight the [[Rigellians]], to get [[Hillarium]], a liquid that makes everything funny. He is defeated after Bart makes Chalmers slap himself in a large robot suit that he controls by movement, telling him he had something on his face, thus making Chalmers fall off a cliff.<ref>"[[Treehouse of Horror XXII]]"</ref>

In one comic story he revealed he had been dating [[Lunchlady Dora]].<ref>"[[The "X" Men]]"</ref> Chalmers and Dora were also seen making out in "[[Brick Like Me]]"

=== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===
{{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/School Workers|Chalmers}}

== Behind the Laughter ==
*In the DVD commentary for "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]", ''Simpsons'' creators noted that Superintendent Chalmers seems to be one of the few "normal" characters on the show, and Chalmers is frequently alone in his awareness of the show's zaniness.
*His first name was revealed to be Gary in "[[Yokel Chords]]" by Bart.

'''Kirk Evelyn Van Houten'''<ref>"[[Hardly Kirk-ing]]"</ref> is the unemployed father of [[Milhouse]] and the re-married husband of [[Luann]].

== Biography ==

=== Early life and marriage ===
Kirk graduated from [[Gudger College]]. Whilst he was here, he was a star lacrosse player for his college's team, close to becoming professional.

According to Luann, Kirk was not a very good provider, and she had to borrow money from her sister and steal clothes from the church donation box.<ref name="divided">"[[A Milhouse Divided]]"</ref>

=== After divorce ===
After the divorce, Kirk was a stereotypical middle-aged male loser and deadbeat father, with extreme emotional depression due to his divorce.<ref name="divided"/> He had been seen with a few girlfriends since: {{ap|Starla|A Milhouse Divided}}, a chainsmoking alcoholic who stole Kirk's car.

His song was titled "Can I Borrow A Feeling" and the album featured a picture of Kirk on the front in a robe, which he was using in an attempt to be a smoking jacket. He was also unemployed at some point, surviving on alimony payments and unemployment benefits.

Life in Hell

|image=[[File:life-inhell.jpg|200px]]

}}

'''''Life in Hell''''' was a weekly comic strip by [[Matt Groening]]. The strip featured anthropomorphic rabbits and a pair of gay lovers. Groening used these characters to explore a wide range of topics about love, sex, work, and death. His drawings are full of expressions of angst, alienation, self-loathing, and fear of inevitable doom.

''Life in Hell'' started in 1977 as a self-published comic book Groening used to describe life in Los Angeles to his friends. Groening photocopied and distributed it in a small "punk" corner of the record store in which he worked, Licorice Pizza on Sunset Boulevard. ''Life in Hell'' debuted as a comic strip in the avant-garde Wet magazine in 1978, to which Groening made his first professional cartoon sale. The first strip, entitled "Forbidden Words", appeared in the September/October issue. Popular in the underground, Life in Hell was picked up by the Los Angeles Reader (an alternative weekly newspaper where Groening also worked as a typesetter, editor, paste-up artist and music critic) in 1980, where it began appearing weekly.

''Life in Hell'' reached the attention of Hollywood producer [[James L. Brooks]], who received one strip — "The Los Angeles Way of Death" from 1982. In 1985, Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of developing a series of short animated skits, called "bumpers", for ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''. Originally, Brooks had wanted Groening to adapt his Life in Hell characters for the show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights to his characters, Groening instead created an entirely new batch of characters, the Simpsons.

Helen Lovejoy

}}

'''Helen Lovejoy''' is [[Timothy Lovejoy]]'s gossipy and very judgmental wife and the mother of [[Jessica Lovejoy]].

==Biography==
=== Early life ===
Little is known about Helen Lovejoy's childhood. It is known, however, that she attended a [[Camp Land-A-Man|camp]] with [[Marge]] when she was 10. She was punished by having a fork stuck in her hand because she could not remember which out of 34 forks was an olive fork. It is hinted that she was punished in this manner many times. She used to sell cosmetics, but her husband asked her to quit because she was making more money than he was.

=== Appearance ===
Helen Lovejoy has large, slanted eyes with long lashes. She usually wears a pink sweater, with a light blue shirt underneath, a blue skirt, and plain black shoes. She used to have brown hair, then changed it to red, and then gray.

=== Personality ===
Helen is the wife of [[Rev. Timothy Lovejoy]] and the mother of [[Jessica Lovejoy]]. She is a judgemental, small-minded, moralistic person and the typical town gossip. She thinks she can win by finding out secrets, and people joining her alliance so that she won't reveal their secrets. She introduces herself as "the gossipy wife of the minister"; when she has nothing else to gossip about, she resorts to telling secrets about her own personal life. She is part of a gang of housewives, containing herself, [[Luann]], [[Agnes Skinner|Agnes]] and ex-members [[Marge]] and [[Maude]] in which they sponsor and invest in companies and boxers.

Her moral convictions look to always defend the interests of the minors, which explains her famous catchphrase, delivered in times of civic crisis (moral or otherwise), "Will someone please think of the children?".

Helen is also openly conservative, and was seen at the Republican Headquarters located at a haunting location.

=== Marge-Helen conflict ===
[[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and Helen have a frenemy relationship. Helen is known to share gossip with Marge, but spreads gossip about Marge as well. Helen has been known to mock Marge's cooking.<ref>"[[All's Fair in Oven War]]"</ref> Marge retaliated by putting [[Maggie]]'s ear medicine in her food first. She once had a furious fight with Marge over the last box of raisins, and the fight ended with Helen being taken to the hospital.<ref>"[[24 Minutes]]"</ref> However, she later rushed towards Marge saying she had some juicy gossip, only to be told "tell me later" while Marge pushes her away (Although in that particular case, it was namely because Marge had to rush to get home before her kids got home due to being due to taking them to the dentist).<ref>"[[You Kent Always Say What You Want]]"</ref> Helen has a rivalry or a dislike of Marge Simpson. Marge dislikes Helen for being the main reason she can't find friends. Helen often tries to tangle with [[Homer]] and Marge's marriage. Helen spies on Marge having brunch with [[Jacques]] and attempts to talk to her for gossip on the issue.<ref>"[[Life on the Fast Lane]]"</ref> However, although there is tension between the two wives, it is said that Helen is Lisa's Godmother. This, however is said during a halloween special and is therefore considered non-canonical.

=== Marriage ===
Helen and [[Reverend Lovejoy|Timothy]] have a stronger marriage than many other Springfieldians (save for [[Ned Flanders|Ned]] and [[Maude Flanders|Maude]], and probably [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]]). Many couples turned to divorce (Kirk and Luann Van Houtan<ref>"[[A Milhouse Divided]]"</ref>) or consistently argue, bear many kids, and have trouble with money ([[Cletus Spuckler|Cletus]] and Brandine Del Roy), however Helen is somewhat patient of Timothy. Once Timothy spends more time on his own and slowly loses his mind, but Helen remains patient, however worried.<ref>"[[In Marge We Trust]]"</ref> Helen once mentions her mother is going to visit them and Timothy makes an insult saying that after Helen's father died, her mother visits them too much. However, once when her daughter, Jessica Lovejoy was running down the field to shoot a soccer goal, Helen screamed "get it in sweetie and save our troubled marriage!"<ref>"[[Marge Gamer]]"</ref>

Agnes Skinner

'''Agnes Skinner''' is the strict and bitter mother of [[Seymour Skinner]]. She is very harshly controlling of Seymour, and treats him like a mother would treat a small child, once grounding him because he did not say who was at the door after answering it. She hates Seymour's choice in women, especially [[Edna Krabappel]]. Agnes has married a total of four times, once with Skinner's father, [[Sheldon Skinner]], and following Sheldon's death she married three more times, each time to a tow truck driver.<ref name="Midnight Towboy">"[[Midnight Towboy]]"</ref>

== Biography ==
[[File:Agnes Skinner Young.png|thumb|left|A younger Agnes Skinner doing the pole vault]]
In the 1920s, Agnes used to be a wing walker on early planes and performed. Her videos were shown in museums.<ref name="[[Midnight Rx]]">"[[Midnight Rx]]"</ref> During the 50s, Agnes was an Pole Vaulter and competed during the 1952 Summer Olympics.<ref name="Boy Meets Curl">"[[Boy Meets Curl]]"</ref> However, when she was going over the bar, Seymour kicked in her stomach, knocking the bar off.

=== Personality ===
When she first appeared as a kindly old woman who embarrassingly called her son "Spanky". According to the DVD audio commentary it is said that her current mean streak can be attributed to the incident involving Bart that took place in that episode in which, while sitting in a urinal stall, Bart caused the toilets to explode.
Currently, she is harshly controlling of Seymour, who spends more time with her than with his old girlfriend, [[Edna Krabappel]].  

=== Relationship with Seymour ===
Agnes shares an unhealthy relationship with her son, which often borders on psychosis. Examples include Agnes covering up "her half of the television" with cardboard to spite Seymour. When Seymour was out of the house, Agnes phoned him regularly demanding to be taken out of the bath, shielded from the glare of car lights on the street, and other such petty requests. She hid his car keys as a punishment for his talking to a woman on the phone. Seymour himself is very obedient and almost distressingly physically and emotionally close to her (for example, when Edna agreed to marry Seymour, Agnes murmured under her breath "three in the bed!"). Agnes Skinner's catchphrase is "Seymour!" often used to snap [[Seymour Skinner|her son]]'s attention (as opposed to [[Superintendent Chalmers]]'s catchphrase, "Skin-NER!"). She also uses him as a slave for her own bidding as evident from the quote "Why couldn't you have died instead of the Car?".<ref>"[[Moe Letter Blues]]"</ref>

Some of Agnes' resentment to Seymour may have derived from even before Seymour was born - during the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Agnes competed in the pole vaulting event while 9-months pregnant.<ref name="Boy Meets Curl"/> When Seymour makes his first kick, he hits the bar, thus, making Agnes lose and subsequently crushing her dreams, this is probably why she is so harsh on Seymour.

== Family ==

=== Husband ===
Her first husband [[Sheldon Skinner]] served in [[World War Two]] as a member of the [[Flying Hellfish]]. Agnes has also claimed that she was married to three tow truckers.

== Love life ==
Agnes has been seen with Superintendent Chalmers on a few occasions,<ref>"[[Bart the Fink]]"</ref><ref>"[[Wild Barts Can't Be Broken]]"</ref> she also briefly dated the [[Comic Book Guy]], before he was arrested for having a secret room full of illegal videos. He asked her if she would wait for him till he got out of jail but she refuses, saying that her bones are half dust.<ref>"[[Worst Episode Ever]]"</ref> She once had sex with [[Otto Mann]] at the Simpsons' mardi gra party.<ref>"[[No Loan Again, Naturally]]"</ref> During the depression she let [[Mr. Burns]] "feel her up".<ref>"[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]"</ref> She hinted that she got "intimate" with [[Groundskeeper Willie]] when he was turned into a proper gentleman.<ref>"[[My Fair Laddy]]"</ref> She also hit on [[Sideshow Mel]].<ref name="Midnight Towboy"/> She also dated [[Abraham Simpson]].<ref>"[[Gump Roast]]"</ref> She got together with Willie a second time during "Grownup Halloween".<ref>"[[Halloween of Horror]]"</ref> She once got together with [[Barney Gumble]].<ref>"[[Lost Verizon]]"</ref>

=== "Real Son" ===
In "[[The Principal and the Pauper]]", Agnes' biological son, the ''real'' {{ap|Seymour Skinner|The Principal and the Pauper}} (voiced by [[Martin Sheen]]), returns to [[Springfield]] from war. Agnes, unhappy with her new living situation with her biological son, travels to Capital City to take back [[Seymour Skinner|Armin Tamzarian]]. She and other Springfieldians, who have grown to like Tamzarian, force the real Seymour Skinner out of Springfield, tying him to a freight train cart headed out of the town.

=== Treehouse of Horror XI ===
[[File:Agnesdeath.png|thumb|The death of Agnes Skinner in [[Treehouse of Horror XI]]]]
Although with no continuity Agnes is dropped to her death from many stories up in [[Treehouse of Horror XI]] when Homer is attempting a good deed.

=== Future ===
In the future, Seymour keeps her living head in a jar in his and [[Edna Krabappel|Edna's]] home, similar to the heads in a jar shown in [[Futurama]].

In [[Days of Future Future]] Skinner is seen having dinner with her skeleton.

'''Professor Jonathan "John" I.Q. Neidelbaum Frink''', better known as simply '''Professor Frink''' and once referred to as '''Doctor Frink''',<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref> is [[Springfield]]'s 40-year-old local scientist and college professor, and is extremely brilliant, though somewhat socially inept. Frink often tries to use his bizarre inventions to aid the town in its crises, but they usually only make things worse.

== Biography ==
[[File:Professor Frink Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
Frink is Springfield's local mad scientist. He has a trademark mannerism of using Tourette syndrome-like gibberish when excited, such as "GLAVIN!" and shouting other words that have no relevance to the situation at hand. He also occasionally refers to the importance of remembering to "carry the one" in various mathematical calculations. He is almost never seen without his glasses and has only taken them off once.<ref>"[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]"</ref>

Frink has an IQ of 197; 199 before he sustained a concussion during the collapse of Springfield's brief intellectual junta. He is a member of the [[Springfield Mensa]] <ref name="IQ">"[[They Saved Lisa's Brain]]"</ref> and a college professor at [[Springfield Heights Institute of Technology]].

Frink is fond of flubber, a material with enhanced bounce properties which his basketball shoes are made out of.

Professor Frink is the [[Professor Frink's inventions|inventor]] of, among other things, hamburger earmuffs, the flying motorcycle and the 8-month after pill. Some of Frink's inventions, such as the automatic phone dialer, work better than others, such as his radio-controlled plane, which carries babies as passengers under their parents' control, or a secure house that sprouts legs and runs away from potential danger (the legs of which often collapsed causing the house to crash to the ground and catch fire). Frink has also discovered and cured "Frink's Disease" and discovered "Frinkonium."

In the 1960s, Professor Frink made napalm to drop on [[Da Nang]].<ref>"[[Homer's Paternity Coot]]"</ref> He once predicted that computers would be so large and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe would own them, a paraphrase of Thomas J. Watson's misquote.

Professor Frink has frequent contact with [[Lisa Simpson]] better than the rest of the Simpsons family because she is more interested in science and makes more frequent visits to places such as the Natural History Museum and the Observatory.

=== Family ===
Frink has a wife, though they may be separated or divorced, and a young son who looks similar to him. When his son crashed through a window during a demonstration of a remote controlled airplane, he says "my wife is going to kill me",<ref>"[[Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?]]"</ref> but his son is seen alive later,<ref>"[[I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot]]"</ref> (this is either a different son or his son survived the accident).

At some point he had a relationship with [[Edna Krabappel]].<ref>"[[The Ned-liest Catch]]"</ref>

He got together with [[Miss Hoover]] during "Grownup Halloween".<ref>"[[Halloween of Horror]]"</ref>

When he made himself more desirable to women he slept with [[Cookie Kwan]] and went on dates with several other women.<ref>"[[Love Is in the N2-O2-Ar-CO2-Ne-He-CH4]]"</ref>

== Non-canon ==
{{Noncanon}}

=== Future ===
In "[[Future-Drama]]", an episode set eight years into a possible future of Bart and Lisa's, a bespectacled skeleton dressed in a lab coat is observed hanging on a rope from a rafter in Frink's basement laboratory—indicating the professor has committed suicide in the interim - although this could be a clone or his aforementioned son -, his death gone unnoticed by family and friends. However, another episode set further in the future, "[[Lisa's Wedding]]", shows him alive and well as he leads a team trying to discover the cure for seventeen stab wounds in [[Mr. Burns]]' back, stating "Well, we're up to fifteen!".

=== Treehouse of Horror ===
In "[[Treehouse of Horror XIV]]", it is revealed that Frink had a strained relationship with his [[Jonathan Frink, Sr.|father]] (guest voiced by [[Jerry Lewis]]). Frink said they got along like "positrons and antineutrinos." The senior Professor Frink was a "he-man" scientist who, according to his son, worked on the atom bomb by day, slept with Marilyn Monroe by night, and sold secrets to the Russians at lunch. Frink brought his father back to life after he died from a Shark Attack, but he went on a rampage and younger Frink was forced to kick the elder in the testicles, killing him. It is indicated in this episode that their shared middle name is "Neidelbaum". The two rebuild their relationship when the elder Frink is proud of his son for stopping him like a man.

=== The Simpsons Game ===
In ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'', he lives inside the Game Engine and marries a Koopa Troopa from Super Mario Bros.

== Behind the Laughter ==
Professor Frink is voiced by [[Hank Azaria]]. The character was originally written as a mad scientist. However, when cast member Hank Azaria ad-libbed a voice for Frink, he did an impression of [[Jerry Lewis]]' character, Julius Kelp, from ''{{w|The Nutty Professor}}'', and the writing staff started making Frink more of a parody of Lewis.

Frink was named after writer [[John Frink]]; however, that was before he became a writer for the show. This was because [[Jay Kogen]], a writer at the time, knew Frink and named the character after him. Frink was originally animated without his buckteeth. The nonsensical utterances that Frink makes are written in the scripts as "Frink noise".

Heya, I'm Jordan, but sometimes I go by Darkanine on websites (it was my Pokemon OC when I was a kid and it stuck). I'm a huge fan of ''The Simpsons'', but not totally knowledgeable on it, so I'll only be making small edits, or filling out some stuff on [[Special:WantedPages]] when I have the time.

Other than ''The Simpsons'', I'm a fan of ''Popeye the Sailor Man'' (hence my image),''Adventure Time'', ''Digimon'', ''Conan the Barbarian'', ''Power Rangers'' and ''My Little Pony''.

Darkanine: /* Hi, asking about the affiliate thingy */ new section

{{User:Mythigator/Talkheader}}

== Pages and Images for Deletion ==
I have been at hard work this afternoon, and I was wondering if you could please delete these pages and images, most of which I tagged for deletion. The list is [[:Category:Candidates for deletion|here]]. [[User:Gazlene the Pork Girl|Gazlene the Pork Girl]] ([[User talk:Gazlene the Pork Girl|talk]]) 22:35, March 22, 2014 (EDT)
:There's been no discussion as of yet about deleting those articles, and I'm not going to zap them unilaterally. If you concur with the deletions, then go to [[Wikisimpsons:Pages_for_deletion]] and state your agreement with the nominations. The deletions will happen after there's been a bit more discussion. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 22:46, March 22, 2014 (EDT)

== Featured content ==
Hello. Month after month I've been struggling to update the main page with new featured content as there's been a lack of decent content to add. Therefore, I'm asking everyone to nominate any decent articles, episodes, images and quotes that fit the criteria. Most importantly is the featured article and episode. However, we're also lacking comprehensive article nominations too. The worst thing is that there is usually very little voting on these, with there only being one or two votes maximum. I'm sorry to send out a mass message like this but the sitenotice seems to go unnoticed. Thanks, [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 08:17, May 1, 2014 (EDT)

== Affiliates ==
Hey, since you're the affiliate guy, can you remove Fish Hooks Wiki and Simpsons Comics News Blog from the list of affiliates? I've completely abandoned them both for over a year now but haven't got round to asking. ~ [[User:Phinbart|'''Phinbart''']] ([[User talk:Phinbart|'''talk''']] • [[Special:Contributions/Phinbart|'''contribs''']]) ''' 11:30, August 14, 2014 (EDT)
:I'd be happy to take care of it. Just one thing, though: I'm trying to figure out how to access the menu on the left side of the page? I can take those two off of the affiliates page, no problem, but so far the menu has stumped me. And I'd rather not do anything until I can take care of both tasks on the same go. So, how do I get to that menu? -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 08:25, August 15, 2014 (EDT)
::Question withdrawn. Found it, took care of it. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 08:34, August 15, 2014 (EDT)

== References or references? ==
It seems you put "Cultural References" on the /references pages, when I put "Cultural references"... Not sure if there is a correct one, but wanted to know what you think on it so there's not pulling back and forth with it. {{User:Randomno/sig4}} 11:53, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

::::Nah Solar's right, I just asked about it. {{User:Randomno/sig4}} 14:08, August 22, 2014 (EDT)
:::::True, Solar gave the answer. But I'm pretty sure I did get one wrong recently, so you can take some credit for asking the question. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 14:10, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

== Simpsons Wikia ==
Hey Mythigator, so, you may have heard about the Wikia stealing our articles thing again. I've tried to sort it out, but, as you can see [http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:134682 here], things are starting to get out of hand. Since you are our representative, I was hoping you could possibly go in and try and diffuse the situation. I can't carry on because things will just become worse and worse. Read [[User_talk:Solar_Dragon#Simpsons_Wikia_Plagarism|my talk page]] for any other information. Thanks, [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 11:11, November 12, 2014 (EST)
:Oh, also, it may be best if you handle any of the stealing/copyright issues in future. I always seem to end up getting confrontational, which is not the best cause of action.

::I've been following the goings-on a little bit, so I'll do what I can to defuse things. I think it'll help that I've been able to stay on pretty civil terms with the Simpsons Wikia people. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 11:22, November 12, 2014 (EST)

== Mythbusters Simpsons ==
Hi, just wondering if you've heard about [http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/12/17/mythbusters-simpsons/ this] yet? Mythbusters is tackling a couple of Simpsons things. I know you watch the show, so thought I'd make sure you knew about this. It should probably be added to [[References in other media]] once it airs too. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 09:23, December 18, 2014 (EST)

::I'll try and find somewhere online to watch it after it airs too. Just thought you'd know more about the setup of the show than I do so you'd probably be able to write about it better. I also thought the fact it has a whole episode dedicated to ''The Simpsons'' is enough notability to have its own article here.

== At Home for a While ==
Back in mid-March, I got an infection in my left hand and needed surgery to clean it out. I was in hospital for a few days recuperating while they decided what antibiotics to put me on. I'm now back home, but need to make daily return visits for bandage changes and further antibiotics treatments. I will be off work until mid-April when the treatments should be finished. Fortunately, I have plenty of paid sick leave accumulated! While my hand is bandaged, I don't have full use of it, so I wouldn't be very effective at work, anyway. So, for now, I should be a bit more active than usual on the wiki – I suppose it could be construed as self-administered physical therapy with the goal of getting my hand back to form. :-) Best to all, M. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 23:28, April 3, 2016 (EDT)
:Get well soon, mate! [[User:LetsPlayNintendoITA|LetsPlayNintendoITA]] 23:49, April 3, 2016 (EDT)
::Hand updates: My last antibiotics treatment was April 10. Lab tests at that point indicated that the infection was gone. My last hospital dressing change was on the 15th. At that time, the doctor examined my hand and said that a simple over-the-counter bandage would be sufficient to protect the surgical wound while it finished healing. I went back to work on Monday the 18th. I still don't have all my finger motion back in the fingers nearest to the wound, but it's good enough for typing at work and is gradually improving. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 08:23, April 22, 2016 (EDT)
:::Good to know. Get all well soon hopefully and you can go back to 100%! [[User:LetsPlayNintendoITA|LetsPlayNintendoITA]] 08:46, April 22, 2016 (EDT)
::::''Molto grazie'' for the kind thoughts! :-) -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 08:27, April 23, 2016 (EDT)
:::::Quick hand updates: The surgical wound was all healed up around the first of May, so I was able to quit wearing bandages. I started seeing a physical therapist a few weeks ago, and she's given me exercises for restoring both strength and range of motion in my hand and fingers. As before, improvement has been slow but steady. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 23:05, June 18, 2016 (EDT)
:::::::It will be soon before it'll return to normal. Do it! :D [[User:LetsPlayNintendoITA|LetsPlayNintendoITA]] 23:30, June 18, 2016 (EDT)
:Another year on, the strength and range of motion in my left hand are mostly all back. There's still some stiffness and numbness in my ring and pinkie fingers due to the scar tissue, but it's slowly improving. I do occasionally lose my grip on things in my left hand, which my doctor has said is most likely due to some nerves being disrupted (but not severed), so my hand ends up glitching once in a while. I'm still doing stretching exercises to work on the scar tissue and my hand still often hurts at night, so I have a prescription for painkillers to calm it down if it's distracting me from falling asleep. In my experience, though, the way it really works is that the painkillers screw up the rest of my brain enough so that I don't give a darn about the hand hurting.
:Keeping in mind the big picture, while I was in the hospital I got checked out from stem to stern and was diagnosed with high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes. I'm now on medications (and insulin) and my blood pressure and blood sugar are both much better than before. "Bummer", some may say, but I say there are a lot worse ways to find out about those—I could have learned of the blood pressure by having a stroke and/or the diabetes by my eye doctor discovering irreparable retinal damage. Neither of those came to pass, and I have since had an eye exam where the doctor had a thorough look and found no diabetes-related damage, so in the big picture I'm grateful for what happened to my hand. Two erratic fingers are a small price to pay for having better health at 50 than I did at 35!

Thank you, thank you! At this point, with the experience I had with my hand in the spring, I'm just grateful to still be alive and in one piece.

== Images ==
Hey Mythigator. Could you try to convert JPG images to PNG before uploading them. It's just easier to re-upload an image than to replace it when dealing with low quality pics and PNGs have (usually) more quality than JPGs. Thanks. / [[User:Loco87|'''Loco87''']] ([[User talk:Loco87|'''TALK''']] / [[Special:Contributions/Loco87|Contribs]]) 19:33, July 10, 2017 (EDT)
* I've never noticed where converting the image format from JPG to PNG ever made any difference in the image quality, so after a few attempts I quit messing with it. Maybe I don't have the right software. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 20:01, July 10, 2017 (EDT)
:If you convert a JPG to PNG you'll probably see no difference in the quality (well, in some cases, some tiny differences can be noticed). But if the image has poor quality it's easier to re-upload a new version of the file with more quality than to upload a higher quality PNG version of the picture as a new file and then replacing and deleting the old one. / [[User:Loco87|'''Loco87''']] ([[User talk:Loco87|'''TALK''']] / [[Special:Contributions/Loco87|Contribs]]) 06:38, July 11, 2017 (EDT)
::I always put up the best-quality images I can find (or screen-cap from a video clip). Sometimes that's not saying much, which makes me appreciate that there are folks on the wiki with access to better-quality images or who have better image manipulation software (or both). My forte is writing and editing; if I'm able to assemble good images to go with the stuff I write, that's icing on the cake. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 11:04, July 11, 2017 (EDT)
::Frinkiac is great if you want to find images. Just copy and paste into Paint and save as a png. pngs scale better. There's less of a drop in quality with them when viewing them as a thumbnail. And since a lot of images on the wiki are viewed as thumbnails, pngs are generally better.

== Outsmarted Myself on Google ==
In a quest for images for the in-progress ''M*A*S*H'' references page, I went Googling for references to Hibbert treating kids for brain freeze (a sight gag on the show's opening sequence) while the theme music played in "Yellow Badge of Cowardge". The very first item in the search results was my own in-progress ''M*A*S*H'' references page, albeit in a considerably earlier stage of construction. Sheesh ...

Reminds me of one of my online handles. I chose this one for a fairly obscure old-time sci-fi short story character. One of my online friends said the story struck his interest, so he went Googling for more information about it. He was quickly frustrated because most of the hits he got referred to me rather than to the story! -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 00:25, August 9, 2017 (EDT)

== ''Shawshank Redemption'' References? ==
The latest reference hunt is for the 1994 prison drama film ''The Shawshank Redemption''. I'm looking for #5. The four I have are in the following episodes:
*"[[The Heartbroke Kid]]"
*"[[Dumbbell Indemnity]]"
*"[[The Wandering Juvie]]"
*"[[I Don't Wanna Know Why the Caged Bird Sings]]"
I thought I'd found #5 in "[[The Frying Game]]", but the prison references there are to ''The Green Mile''. Anyone got anything from ''Shawshank''? From the comics, maybe? -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 18:16, September 4, 2017 (EDT)
----
Found more on IMdB ...
*"[[Treehouse of Horror V]]" - Hank Azaria credited as "The Shaws-Hank Azariah" in the closing credits. I've confirmed this one, and the timing is right for it to be a reference to the film rather than the novel.
*''[[The Simpsons: Tapped Out]]'' - Chief Wiggum says, "Catch me a Dexter so we can Shawshank him." I don't play TSTO, so I need more context on this one to know whether it's valid.
*"[[The Man Who Grew Too Much]]" - Mentioned in dialogue. I haven't seen this episode so I'm not in a position to fact-check it.
*"[[American History X-cellent]]" - Prison warden spoofs Warden Norton from the movie; Burns' cellmate has a Rita Hayworth poster that conceals a crucifix. I haven't seen this one either.

== Simpsons Wikia stealing content again ==

Hi, I've noticed that Simpsons Wikia has been stealing content from us again. The user LucienTP has taken the plots that LetsPlayNintendo wrote for The Serfsons and Springfield Splendor. And Jliby30, who seems to be an admin, had taken sections from [[Annette (Springfield Splendor)]] and [[Guthrie Frenel]] that I had written and pasted them onto their articles there. Could you 1) look into if other content has been stolen 2) talk with the admins and try to come to an agreement about what they do. I don't mind if they either stop taking our content, or link back to us as the source for their content. Refer them to our wiki's license, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ in particular the "attribution" section. I'd do this myself, but obviously, I don't have the best record with Wikia so I feel it would be best if you do this, as you are technically the wiki's representative. lol. Thanks, [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 14:36, October 10, 2017 (EDT)
:Oh, a place to start looking could be season 28 articles there, as LPN has said he thinks some of them might be stolen from here. (check history on Simpsons wikia before making accusations to make sure it wasn't a user here who added it there too).

I left DJ a nice thank-you note. He addressed the situation and Jliby30 acknowledged it.

== Springfield Splendor celeb pictures ==

Hi, celebrities appear on the wall in a scene in Springfield Splendor. I've been able to identify most of them, but some I can't identify. I was wondering if you are able to help? The ones that have been identified are all listed on [[Springfield Splendor/Appearances]] already. The pictures are here:

*File:Springfield Splendor - Celebs1.png
*File:Springfield Splendor - Celebs2.png
*File:Springfield Splendor - Celebs3.png
*File:Springfield Splendor - Celebs4.png

Thanks, [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 11:43, October 13, 2017 (EDT)
:It would be easier to tell if they hadn't been "defaced". At first glance, the only one I'm sure of that you didn't get is that in Celebs1, the woman on the far left (behind Bart, not mustache-ized) is [[Lucille Ball]]. In Celebs1, were you able to ID any of the ones with mustaches? -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 18:23, October 13, 2017 (EDT)
::OK, got a couple more from the Celebs1 image. The pic where Bart is just finishing drawing the mustache looks like [[David Duchovny]], and the one next to it looks like [[Gillian Anderson]] (a.k.a. Mulder and Scully from ''The X-Files''). They both have "actor" pages, but only Duchovny has a "character" page. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 22:07, October 13, 2017 (EDT)
:::OK again ... I see on the episode's Appearances tab that Duchovny and Anderson have been ID'ed as Mulder and Scully. If the pictures on the wall are supposed to represent real celebs, rather than the characters they portray, then that's wrong. BTW, one thing that would be helpful is if I could see a list of who '''has''' been identified in the images so I don't tie my brain into knots trying to figure out people that are already accounted for on the Appearances tab. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 23:46, October 13, 2017 (EDT)
::::There's a list on the [[Springfield Splendor/References|references page]]. As for Mulder and Scully, that's complicated... Mulder and Scully are both actual characters in the show, as seen in The Springfield Files. Whilst Duchovny has only been mentioned in a book. Therefore, I feel they take the spot rather than their actors. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 09:44, October 14, 2017 (EDT)
:::::The list on the references page is helpful, but not what I meant. Let me rephrase ... what I'm wanting to know is which people '''in the images''' haven't been identified as of yet. "Fourth person from the left in Celebs3.png", for example, or whatever the case may be. Thanks! -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 12:43, October 14, 2017 (EDT)
::::::I've managed to identify all but three now, two in File:Springfield Splendor - Celebs2.png and one in File:Springfield Splendor - Celebs4.png.

----
Moving the thread back to the left in the interest of readability. Two updates ...
# I concur with the Bogart/Rick ID.
# When I saw the person on the far right in Celebs4, my first thought was Travolta. He does resemble the "Travolta in Homer's dream" image.
Have we given up on the person on the far right of the Celebs2 image where only half of his face is visible, or is that one of the ones you ID'ed before? If the latter is the case, then the only remaining unknown is the one to the left of Ron Howard in the Celebs2 image. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 15:55, October 14, 2017 (EDT)
:Okay, I'll go ahead and say he's Travolta then. As for the half face, yeah. No point even trying to identify him. And the guy to the left of Howard is annoying me, as I'm sure I've seen him before on the show somewhere. lol. Then again, it was the same with all of them. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 16:00, October 14, 2017 (EDT)
::The common denominator seems to be that all of the celebs on the wall have previously "appeared" on the show. I know that doesn't help much, as that's true for a '''lot''' of people. As for "Mr. Half-Face" (sounds like a Batman villain, lol), does his whole face ever appear in the episode? Even if it's only for a split second, it should be possible to get a screencap. Sorry I'm not able to be more helpful. I had a job interview yesterday which went very well, but pretty much emptied my mental-energy tank. I'm feeling recharged today after a night's sleep (and letting myself sleep in 'til eight), but now I feel like I'm in the beginning stages of catching a cold.

== Hi, asking about the affiliate thingy ==

Hey there! I sincerely hope I'm not bothering you.

So back in June, I sent you an email about a possible affiliation between my wiki (mlpwiki.net) and Wikisimpsons since we're both wikis based off western cartoon series (more or less, at least) but I never got a reply to my email. Now, if my request is denied, I understand, but I would like an answer at least. Hope that last part didn't sound rude or anything.
