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 &quot;only&quot; $996 million, which led to his being demoted from Billionaire Camp to Millionaire Camp.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Burns and the Bees]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Hard Times]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Mr. Burns Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> === Childhood ===<br /> [[File:Young Burns.png|thumb|Burns as a child]]<br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]&lt;/ref&gt; 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, &quot;[[Bobo]]&quot;. As a child, Burns was so cheery and amiable that his parents called him &quot;Happy&quot;, despite one of his family names being &quot;Schicklgruber&quot; (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 &quot;Schicklgruber&quot; was used as a mocking insult of Hitler by political opponents before he became politically powerful). Burns used to have a penchant for reading comics as a child (&quot;comical booklets&quot;), 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;Dark Knight Court&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Dark Knight Court]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> 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 &quot;atom mill&quot; 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 cold-hearted man, much like himself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Rosebud&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Rosebud]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He later attended [[Yale University]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Baby Burns&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Burns, Baby Burns]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Mr burns WW2.jpg|thumb|left|Burns with Abe Simpson during WWII]]<br /> <br /> === Pre-World War 2 ===<br /> 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;Four Regrettings and a Funeral&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Four Regrettings and a Funeral]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;Baby Burns&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> === World War II ===<br /> 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 &quot;my shells worked, dammit!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[A Star Is Burns]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in &quot;The Curse of the Flying Hellfish&quot;]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:MrBurnsVest.gif|thumb|Mr Burns showing off his expensive clothing]]<br /> <br /> === Post World War II ===<br /> 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]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Trouble with Trillions]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Burns SS Card.png|thumb|left|Montgomery Burns revealing he was a member of the SS]]<br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Them, Robot]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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.<br /> <br /> 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<br /> [[File:Evil Burns.png|thumb|Mr. Burns in his typical evil mood]]<br /> <br /> == Character ==<br /> === Personality ===<br /> 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.<br /> Burns has a vast amount of money, he doesn't do charity, and simply releases &quot;The Hounds&quot; at any charity collectors coming to his mansion. He seems to enjoy bossing his assistant, Waylon Smithers, Jr., to do everything for him, from getting him dressed to driving him about.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ketchup Catsup.png|thumb|Mr Burns struggles to understand Ketchup and Catsup]]<br /> 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. 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 &quot;Smithers, come here, I want you.&quot;, a take on what are reputedly the first words spoken by Alexander Graham Bell on his telephone (&quot;Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you&quot;).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]] (&quot;have the Rolling Stones killed&quot;), 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 1939 World's Fair.<br /> <br /> Burns' investment portfolio includes long-defunct shares in &quot;Confederated Slaveholdings, Transatlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's Inflammable Powder, U.S. Hay&quot;, and an &quot;up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company&quot;. Burns commonly refers to deceased persons as if they were alive, including Al Jolson, Tallulah Bankhead, Louise Brooks, Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, and Mordecai &quot;Three Finger&quot; Brown. He believes some social institutions and inventions are novel or nonexistent, such as musicals about &quot;the common cat&quot; and &quot;the King of Siam&quot;, the Packard automobile, the Fire Department, ice cream (or &quot;iced cream&quot;), vending machines, recycling, strip clubs, the DuMont, the word &quot;into&quot;, 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.<br /> [[File:Springfield Nuclear Power Plant 3.png|thumb|right|Mr Burns' office]]<br /> <br /> === Health ===<br /> [[File:Mr burns hurts homer.jpg|thumb|left|Mr. Burns strangling Homer, in a menacing fashion]]<br /> 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 &quot;Three Stooges Syndrome&quot; 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Mansion Family&quot;&gt;&quot;[[The Mansion Family]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;This is shown in [[The Simpsons Movie]].&lt;/ref&gt; 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Regina Monologues]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; When Burns was incarcerated at Springfield's penitentiary, when he was getting a mug shot, the camera flash was able to slam him against a wall and knock him out.<br /> [[File:Burns' alien.png|thumb|Burns was once mistaken for an alien after his weekly medical treatments.]]<br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Blood Feud]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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. He has 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 he 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 did lose his memory and people then tried to take revenge on him. <br /> <br /> ==== Medical treatment ====<br /> [[File:Burns in The Fool Monty.png|right|thumb|Mr. Burns when Bart brought him to his home after he tried to kill himself]]<br /> 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 &quot;nice&quot;. 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 &quot;nice&quot; form. <br /> <br /> 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 Burns. He has his brain flushed out with vinegar and his eyes &quot;re-balled&quot;. His knees are also sent out to be repaired at a &quot;shop.&quot; His dentures replace themselves.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Springfield Files]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In the future, Burns may be kept alive by cryonics.<br /> <br /> Burns 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).<br /> <br /> On rare occasions he has displayed great strength and skill, such as when he managed to single-handedly capture the Loch Ness monster &quot;Nessie&quot; (though it was never explained exactly how he did so) and when he rescued his girlfriend Gloria from a burning building (although she wound up carrying him out of the blaze).<br /> <br /> === Career ===<br /> 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 &quot;League of Evil&quot; - 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&amp;nbsp;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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Kent Brockman]] also credits Burns with having stolen Christmas from 1981 to 1985.<br /> <br /> He was once forced to work in a Sweatshop, along with other billionaires such as [[Artie Ziff]], [[Aristotle Amadopolis]] and [[Rich Texan]].<br /> <br /> He also claims to have participated in the Boston Tea Party.<br /> <br /> Burns has also owned or co-owned a number of business ventures in Springfield, including the [[Monty Burns Casino]] (later demolished),&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Li'l Lisa&quot; recycling (an ocean slurry manufacturing plant),&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Old Man and the Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and [[Burns Slant Drilling Co.]],&lt;ref&gt;. Burns owned this in &quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Burns Media, the electric company, the water works and even a hotel on Baltic Avenue.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In ''The Simpsons: Hit &amp; 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.<br /> [[File:Homer the Smithers.jpg|thumb|right|Burns' bedroom in Burns Manor]]<br /> <br /> === Residence ===<br /> {{main|Burns Manor}}<br /> 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 &quot;The Hounds&quot;, one of whom is named [[Winston]]. <br /> [[File:Burns' manor.png|thumb|left|Burns Manor]]<br /> He usually releases his vicious hounds on guests once he decides they have overstayed&lt;ref&gt;The Simpsons Movie&lt;/ref&gt; 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]].<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;suckers&quot; in it.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> 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 &quot;feel her up&quot; during the Depression.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Burns caught the attention of [[Selma Bouvier]] when she discovered he's single.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Monty Can't Buy Me Love]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Burns and Gloria.PNG|thumb|Burns and Gloria]]<br /> 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.&amp;nbsp;Burns anyway). According to a family tree:<br /> <br /> :Charles Montgomery Burns was born to Clifford Burns and Daphne Charle (hence the name ''Charles''),<br /> :Clifford Burns was born to Wainwright Montgomery Burns and [[Evelyn Graycomb]].<br /> :Evelyn Graycomb was born to [[Otto Graycomb]] and Lolly Dubois.<br /> :Lolly Dubois was born to Lance Dubois and [[Clarice Stemple]].<br /> :Clarice Stemple is the sister of [[Gaylord Stemple]].<br /> :Gaylord Stemple married [[Trixie Simpson]].<br /> :Trixie Simpson is the Granddaughter of [[Sven Simpson]].<br /> :Sven Simpson is the great, great, great, great, great Grandfather of Homer Simpson.<br /> <br /> Mr. Burns' great-great-grandmother's sister-in-law's 4th great-grandson is Homer Simpson.<br /> <br /> Mr. Burns had a strained relationship with his own mother -- whom he has 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. <br /> <br /> Once, when asked the cause of his parents' deaths, he replied: &quot;Got in my way&quot;,&lt;ref name=&quot;The Mansion Family&quot;/&gt; however, his mother was seen alive at least once.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Organizations ===<br /> [[File:Two Cars.png|thumb|right|Mr Burns is served a three eyed fish while running for governor]]<br /> 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 &quot;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 &quot;Excluders Club&quot;, 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.<br /> <br /> 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.&amp;nbsp; At the following year's retreat,&amp;nbsp; it was discovered he was no longer a billionaire.&amp;nbsp; He was ejected from the camp, and thrown over a wall into the slack-jawed millionaire's camp.&lt;ref&gt;The Burns and the Bees&lt;/ref&gt;&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;This happens in [[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Burns was a Freemason &quot;before it was trendy.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Gone Maggie Gone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> [[File:Treehouse of Horror IV promo.gif|thumb|right|&quot;Count&quot; Burns in [[Treehouse of Horror IV]]]]<br /> <br /> <br /> === The Future ===<br /> [[File:Robo Burns.png|thumb|Burns as a head on legs]]<br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa's Wedding]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Holidays of Future Passed]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Billions of years into the future, Burns lives in the form of a partial android with his robot dog sidekick Smithers. Burns' head misplaces his teddy, [[Bobo]] every century.&lt;ref name=&quot;Rosebud&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> ==== Count Burns ====<br /> Burns is a vampire but no one believes Lisa. She and Bart find Mr. Burns's secret lair which can be accessed by a staircase that has a lever which doubles as a fun slide and Bart (while fleeing from a horde of vampires) says &quot;I shouldn't... But when am I going to be back here?&quot; is turned into a vampire after pulling the lever. The Simpsons are then worried that Bart could get worse and The Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. Homer kills Burns but gets fired in the process. It turns out, however, that Burns is NOT the head vampire, which leads to an unexpected conclusion.<br /> <br /> ==== Lord Montymort ====<br /> :''See [[Lord Montymort|here]]''<br /> <br /> === Video games ===<br /> ==== The Simpsons: The Arcade Game ====<br /> Mr. Burns appears as the final boss in this game, operating a giant mechanical robot from within that changes form with the damage it receives from the Simpsons characters. He also was the one who orchestrated Smither's theft of a diamond, which also indirectly made him responsible for Maggie's kidnapping as well, as Smithers ended up kidnapping Maggie because the diamond was knocked towards Maggie and she started using it as a Pacifier. After managing to defeat Burns, the Simpsons rescue Maggie and head back home, while Homer breaks the fourth wall by throwing the diamond right to the player. After Burns was knocked unconscious Maggie places her old pacifier into his mouth.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons Road Rage ====<br /> In [[The Simpsons Road Rage]], Mr. Burns buys out the Springfield transit system and turns them into nuclear buses. In one of the missions it is also said that he buys out the Springfield Shopper. Also if you drive in the Springfield Mountains you can drive into Burns' manor. In the last mission you have to battle Mr. Burns as Homer, where Homer has smash the statues in Burns' garden. Also in the second mission you have to dodge him. In every single road rage or Sunday drive he tries and hit you with his car. If you use a cheat you can drive his car, a nuclear bus or even Mr. Burns driving a brick. In the downtown location you can see his bus depot. One of the other locations is his nuclear power plant.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown ====<br /> In [[The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown]], Mr. Burns is shown telling [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] where [[Plopper|Spider Pig]] went.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Hit &amp; Run ====<br /> In [[The Simpsons: Hit &amp; Run]], you can drive to the nuclear power plant in the first level. In the last level, you can climb up to Mr. Burns' office. You also see him in one level and can eventually drive his car if you complete the bonus mission in Level 7.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons Game ====<br /> In the level {{ap|Lisa the Tree Hugger|The Simpsons Game}}, the player stops Mr. Burns from destroying the ecosystem. Burns plans to cut down every tree in Springfield and turn each one into a single luxury toothpick. When the logging facility is destroyed, Mr. Burns has Smithers phone in some goons to rough up [[Al Gore]] to make himself feel better. In [[Medal of Homer]], a younger version of Burns steals paintings from the village of St. Capitulons and protects them on board his personal naval carrier with a squad of sailors resembling Smithers.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ====<br /> {{Main|Charles Montgomery Burns/Tapped Out}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> [[File:Homer's Odyssey (Mr. Burns Looking Out the Window).png|thumb|Mr Burns' appearance in [[Homer's Odyssey]]]]<br /> === Creation ===<br /> 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 &quot;embodiment of corporate greed&quot;. <br /> <br /> 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 &quot;There's No Disgrace Like Home&quot; 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 &quot;Excellent!&quot; hand gesture from his former Saturday Night Live colleague Jim Downey.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]&quot;, Al Jean and [[Mike Reiss]] referred to him as &quot;Mr. Meany&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;''[[Springfield Confidential]]'' Chapter 6&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> === Voice ===<br /> Burns was originally voiced by actor Christopher Collins in the episode &quot;[[Homer's Odyssey]]&quot;. 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 &quot;like[s] Mr. Burns because he is pure evil. A lot of evil people make the mistake of diluting it. Never adulterate your evil.&quot;<br /> [[File:Mr burns action figure.jpg|thumb|A Mr. Burns action figure]]<br /> <br /> === Age ===<br /> Mr. Burns' age has fluctuated during the course of the show, being explicitly stated he was 81 in &quot;[[Simpson and Delilah]]&quot; and as old as 104 in &quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;, &quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot; and &quot;[[A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love]]&quot;. In the episode &quot;[[Fraudcast News]]&quot;, 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 &quot;Springfield's oldest resident&quot; with a Social Security number of 000-00-0002 (damning Roosevelt for having 0001).<br /> <br /> 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 when the respective episodes aired. He says he had a driver's license that expired in 1909, graduated from Yale University in 1914&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Burns, Baby Burns]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, claims to have been a passenger on the ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]''&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Man in the Blue Flannel Pants]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and 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.<br /> <br /> In &quot;[[Last Exit to Springfield]]&quot;, Burns has a flashback to his childhood dated 1909, placing his age around 90 years when the episode aired in 1993. In &quot;[[Bobby, It's Cold Outside]]&quot;, Burns has a flasback to when he was a little boy in 1935, which would again make him approximately 90 years old when the episode aired in 2019.<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Also, in the one time appearance of his &quot;league of evil&quot;, 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.<br /> <br /> Burns's wine cellar also has trophy heads of a T-Rex, a Pteranodon, a Triceratops, a Stegosaurus and an unidentified sauropod. <br /> <br /> However, because his mother, who is currently alive, is in her 120s (as seen in &quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;), Burns would have to be younger.<br /> <br /> Burns' age provides the writers a character with which they can express dated humor and references to popular culture before the 1950s.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In &quot;[[Them, Robot]]&quot;, Homer asked for his ''real'' age, and he said it had 4 digits, but was interrupted before he finished.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In an issue of ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'', Smithers states Mr. Burns is 118 years old.{{Fact}}<br /> <br /> === Foreign dubs ===<br /> {{Dub voices<br /> |daVoice={{W|da:Søren Ulrichs|Søren Ulrichs}} (movie)<br /> |esLAVoice=Miguel Ángel Botello (since [[season 16]])&lt;br&gt;{{W|Gabriel Chávez}} (Seasons [[Season 1|1]] to [[Season 15|15]])<br /> |poVoice={{W|pl:Mirosław Konarowski|Mirosław Konarowski}}<br /> |svVoice={{W|sv:Anders Öjebo|Anders Öjebo}} (''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'')<br /> |huVoice={{W|hu:Balázs Szuhay|Balázs Szuhay}}† (Season 1–8(?)&lt;br/&gt;István Rudas (Season 8– )<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> {{scroll|<br /> *{{ep|Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Odyssey}}<br /> *{{ep|There's No Disgrace Like Home}}<br /> *{{ep|The Telltale Head}}<br /> *{{ep|Life on the Fast Lane}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Night Out}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets an &quot;F&quot;}}<br /> *{{ep|Simpson and Delilah}}<br /> *{{ep|Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish}}<br /> *{{ep|Dancin' Homer}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart vs. Thanksgiving}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets Hit by a Car}}<br /> *{{ep|One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment}}<br /> *{{ep|Old Money}}<br /> *{{ep|Brush with Greatness}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Substitute}}<br /> *{{ep|The War of the Simpsons}}<br /> *{{ep|Blood Feud}}<br /> *{{ep|Stark Raving Dad}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart the Murderer}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Defined}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror II}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Pony}}<br /> *{{ep|Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk}}<br /> *{{ep|I Married Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Radio Bart}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Greek}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Alone}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer at the Bat}}<br /> *{{ep|Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?}}<br /> *{{ep|Kamp Krusty}}<br /> *{{ep|A Streetcar Named Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Heretic}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Beauty Queen}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror III}}<br /> *{{ep|Itchy &amp; Scratchy: The Movie}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge Gets a Job}}<br /> *{{ep|New Kid on the Block}}<br /> *{{ep|Mr. Plow}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Triple Bypass}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge vs. the Monorail}}<br /> *{{ep|Selma's Choice}}<br /> *{{ep|Brother from the Same Planet}}<br /> *{{ep|I Love Lisa}}<br /> *{{ep|Last Exit to Springfield}}<br /> *{{ep|So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show}}<br /> *{{ep|The Front}}<br /> *{{ep|Whacking Day}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge in Chains}}<br /> *{{ep|Krusty Gets Kancelled}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Barbershop Quartet}}<br /> *{{ep|Cape Feare}}<br /> *{{ep|Rosebud}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror IV}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge on the Lam}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart's Inner Child}}<br /> *{{ep|Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood}}<br /> *{{ep|The Last Temptation of Homer}}<br /> *{{ep|$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Vigilante}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets Famous}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer and Apu}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy}}<br /> *{{ep|Deep Space Homer}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Loves Flanders}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets an Elephant}}<br /> *{{ep|Burns' Heir}}<br /> *{{ep|Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song}}<br /> *{{ep|The Boy Who Knew Too Much}}<br /> *{{ep|Lady Bouvier's Lover}}<br /> *{{ep|Secrets of a Successful Marriage}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart of Darkness}}<br /> *{{ep|Another Simpsons Clip Show}}<br /> *{{ep|Sideshow Bob Roberts}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror V}}<br /> *{{ep|Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Great}}<br /> *{{ep|A Star Is Burns}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Wedding}}<br /> *{{ep|Two Dozen and One Greyhounds}}<br /> *{{ep|'Round Springfield}}<br /> *{{ep|The Springfield Connection}}<br /> *{{ep|Who Shot Mr. Burns?

The way he got rid of the competition was to release bed bugs into competing stores. When Moe was old enough, Morty told Moe to release bed bugs in [[Sleep 'N Snooze]], which was run by another family. When Moe realized it was run by a family, he didn't do it and Morty disowned him, kicked him out the house and turned Moe's bedroom into a gym which he never used.<br /> <br /> When Morty was retiring from being a mattress salesman, he called Moe to speak to him again and tell him this. After initially fighting, [[Marge]] convinced Moe to give his family another chance. Moe did and his father gave him one of his three remaining mattress stores. After Moe's brother and sister started to try to undermine Moe's store, Marge went to Morty again to tell him and Morty went to intervene. They found Moe in the Mattress King Warehouse, about to release bed bugs all over Marv and Minnie's mattresses. When Marge asked Morty to talk him out of it, Morty instead encouraged Moe to do it as that was what he wanted all along. Moe, however, couldn't go through it. When Marge congratulated Moe on being a good person, he dropped the jar of bed bugs and everyone ran from the warehouse.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[King Leer]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Morty was in a sauna with [[Krusty the Clown]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;{{ap|Krusty the Clown|episode}}&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Szyslaks|Morty}}<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> *{{ep|Mommie Beerest|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Springfield Up|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa Goes Gaga|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Walking Big &amp; Tall|(flashbacks)}}<br /> *{{ep|King Leer}}<br /> *{{ep|Krusty the Clown (episode)|pipe=yes|3=Krusty the Clown}}<br /> *{{game|The Simpsons: Tapped Out}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Szyslak family}}<br /> {{Tapped Out characters|szyslaks=yes}}<br /> {{Simpsons characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Szyslak, Morty}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Seniors]]<br /> [[Category:Fathers]]<br /> [[Category:Characters voiced by guest stars]]<br /> [[Category:Recurring characters]]<br /> [[Category:Characters introduced in season 26]]</div>

He is an extreme stereotype: morbidly obese, extremely stupid, ignorant, incompetent, and really lazy, with a fondness for doughnuts and [[Chintzy Pop]]. While he pretentiously feigns authority, he has little regard for individual rights or even public safety. He is disturbingly uninformed and flaunts his power, albeit with good intentions most of the time. He is part Irish.&lt;ref name=&quot;In the Name of the Grandfather&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> He, along with the rest of [[Springfield]]'s government and [[Springfield]] police force, is also corrupt, having asked for or taken bribes several times. An example of this is he can skip any crime if he is bribed, like being notably solicited [[Troy McClure]] and [[Homer Simpson]] for bribes in exchange for &quot;looking the other way&quot; to their criminal activities. When [[Bart]] bribed him with stolen wedding presents, he told him to read his badge and, at the bottom of the badge, was the caption &quot;Cash Bribes only&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Wandering Juvie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He has a strained friendship with [[Joe Quimby|Mayor Quimby]], as the two men vie to have control over the city, which once lead to a serious argument in regards of who takes over during an emergency on the Monorail crisis. Wiggum claims to have compromising photographs of the mayor (the mayor once told Wiggum &quot;You don't scare me; that could be anyone's ass!&quot;), which may help to explain why he has retained his job despite his inability to do anything his duties requires of him.<br /> <br /> He is often assisted by his more intelligent (but still quite lazy and often rather cocky) &quot;top cops&quot; [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]]. He is completely ignorant of Springfield's laws and often quotes sayings from the police handbook which cannot actually be found in the book (&quot;like the book says, if you can't beat them, join them&quot;). According to The Bart Book, Clancy is also in the SPD Bomb Sqaud, which is in fact just HIM in a hockey mask.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Chief Wiggum Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> Clancy Wiggum was possibly born in [[Ireland]].&lt;ref name=&quot;In the Name of the Grandfather&quot;&gt;&quot;[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; However, he also seemed to spend at least some part of his early childhood in Maryland, as he mentioned he used to sell ribbons there with his father, [[Iggy Wiggum]]. Iggy was a war veteran who died in a parade float accident in 1979, along with [[Arnie Gumble]], [[Sheldon Skinner]], [[Etch Westgrin]], and [[Griff McDonald]], all members of [[Abraham Simpson|Abe Simpson]]'s [[Flying Hellfish]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in &quot;The Curse of the Flying Hellfish&quot;]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He did, however, grow up in Springfield and was among the same class and age group as [[Homer Simpson]], [[Lenny Leonard]], [[Carl Carlson]], [[Barney Gumble]], and possibly [[Marge Simpson]]. At an early age, Wiggum played cops and robbers with Homer and other kids his age and he showed a clear ambition to become a police officer. At the age of 16, he was a hall monitor at high school, where he developed a joy for giving orders, and receiving chocolate bribes.&lt;ref name=&quot;Skybox&quot;&gt;''{{ap|Skybox|cards}}''&lt;/ref&gt; He possibly had a part-time security guard job at Springfield State University. Wiggum was present at the University's germ research labs (Prof. [[Charles Montgomery Burns|C. Montgomery Burns]] was chairman at the time) when [[Mona Simpson]] and the hippie activist group she was part of sabotaged the germ experiments. Wiggum, who had suffered from asthma prior to that, was cured by antibiotics that the group released to kill the germs, and helped Mona Simpson escape the police when she was on the run twenty-five years later.<br /> <br /> In 1985 Wiggum was involved in the barbershop quartet called the &quot;[[The Be Sharps|Be Sharps]]&quot;. Wiggum was a member with [[Homer Simpson]], [[Seymour Skinner]], and [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu]]. However, a talent scout showed interest in the Be Sharps but didn't like Wiggum as a performer, so he was thrown out of the group. When auditions were held to find a replacement for Wiggum, he attempted to be reselected for the quartet. He wore a disguise, but was found out.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:WiggumFolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Chief Wiggum's character folder seen inside the Hall of Records]]<br /> In 1989, Wiggum jumped between an assassin's bullet and [[Mayor Quimby]] when he was on duty confiscating illegal wieners from an unlicensed hot dog vendor.&lt;ref name=&quot;Skybox&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Early attempts to get into the Police Force when he was a teenager were unsuccessful on account of his asthma, so when it had been cured he could then pursue his ambition to become a professional police officer. Having entered the Police Academy by age 24, Wiggum managed to work around his many shortcomings and finally become a full fledged officer and by 32, he had managed to work his way up to the position of Police Chief of Springfield. It is implied that Wiggum managed to overcome his shortcomings with coaxing methods such as great skills with back massages and charm to get the position of Chief. But he actually received the job when the frustrated former Chief resolved to give it to the next person he met, which was Wiggum. Another explanation is when mayor Quimby said that he made Wiggum the police chief so that the law would not be enforced to the letter (Which may also explain why Chief Wiggum has somewhat of a feud with Mayor Quimby, such as getting into a serious argument about Mayor Quimby in regards to Marge's arrest,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer Alone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; blackmailing Mayor Quimby with incriminating photos,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge vs. the Monorail]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and even trying to arrest Mayor Quimby for corruption charges&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[They Saved Lisa's Brain]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&quot;). Regardless, Wiggum had accomplished his childhood ambition.<br /> <br /> Wiggum weighs about 240 pounds and stands 5'9'' tall''.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> Chief Wiggum was often portrayed as a stupid, dimwitted oaf, with a lazy attitude and a love of eating. However Wiggum does have redeeming qualities as well. Despite his dubious escapades, he appears to have quite a loving relationship with his family, especially his son, whom Wiggum often supports and shows great patience towards, although he can be unfortunately somewhat clueless to Ralph's needs at times. It is once implied that Clancy does use the money he earns as well as &quot;acquires&quot; for his family as much as himself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Eighteenth Amendment&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Wiggum doesn't appear to be a particularly judgemental person either, and generally gets along with others. He does on occasion even help various other people, such as helping Homer find Marge escaping with [[Ruth Powers]] from the law,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge on the Lam]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; helping Mona Simpson, Homer's mother, escape from Mr. Burns&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Mother Simpson]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; as well as helping backing [[Lisa]] up in a school protest on one occasion&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The President Wore Pearls]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and arriving just in time during a crucial moment such as the various times [[Sideshow Bob]] has attempted to kill [[Bart Simpson]]. Perhaps the best example of this is when it is implied that he leads the FBI astray in their search for Mona Simpson, allowing her to escape in gratitude for curing his asthma. Although Wiggum can often antagonize others as well, it's heavily implied that it's not out of malice but merely because he's doing his job or because he's ignorant of the situation. It is often implied as well that Wiggum genuinely wants to do good with his job, but a mix of complacency, various difficulties with being a cop, and his own limitations have made him weary of his duties. As well as the above, some interesting quirks of the character include rather unusual ingenuity in his job such as: using police hang gliders, riding an Ostrich, speaking hippie tongue, and using loud music to flush [[Seymour Skinner]] and [[Edna Krabappel]] out of [[Springfield Elementary]] to which they locked down to name a few. He also has a tendency to rant about things during situations, a bit of a kinky side and a fondness for acting and the performing arts. Wiggum often orchestrates or appreciates plays and other shows in prison with the inmates and played a major role in a production of ''A Streetcar Named Desire''.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[A Streetcar Named Marge]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Some may find this an interesting parallel to his son, who is hinted to potentially have a very high degree of hidden performing talent. At one point, Chief Wiggum explains to a confused Lou about his saying &quot;switchfaces of the east&quot; by stating that he doesn't like censoring himself as it stifles creativity, implying that he has some desire to be creative.<br /> <br /> Wiggum's incompetence is showcased in a TV show called ''Cops in Springfield'', in which he investigates a cattle rustler and uses a battering ram to knock down the suspect's door, only to find he has the wrong house. The occupant, [[Reverend Timothy Lovejoy|Reverend Lovejoy]], is very angry, especially since the cattle are clearly visible in the neighbor's yard. [[Snake Jailbird|Snake]], the suspect that Wiggum is after, is able to make a clean getaway. Wiggum describes Snake's vehicle as &quot;a red... car of some sort&quot; and &quot;heading in the direction of that place that sells chilli&quot; and the suspect as &quot;hatless! Repeat, hatless!&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He has been known to use Agatha Christie novels as crime-solving reference guide. Wiggum once misuses police terminology, phoning Marge to inform her Homer had been found &quot;DOA&quot;, then Marge answers as &quot;Homer's DEAD?, then Wiggum says &quot;Ops, heh heh, I meant DWI- I always get those two mixed up!&quot; After hanging up the phone he is approached by a woman whom he had told that her husband was DWI. He then hastily suggested that she talked to another officer and then told her he was going out to lunch (implying that her husband was actually DOA, and he made a similar mix-up).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Duffless]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; When chasing a car on a highway, he was asked to describe his location, and replied &quot;I'm on a road, looks to be asphalt--aw jeez, trees, shrubs--uh, I'm directly under the earth's Sun... now.&quot; Marge and Ruth elude Wiggum during the same car chase at night by turning off the lights on their car, leading Wiggum to exclaim, &quot;It's a ghost car!&quot;<br /> <br /> Wiggum also often fails to comply with his police duties in a real emergency. He once refused to believe calls from people saying that an elephant ([[Bart Simpson|Bart]]'s pet elephant [[Stampy]]) destroyed their property. After two calls, he thought a call reporting a &quot;liquor store robbery in progress, officer down&quot; was also a fake call.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Bart Gets an Elephant]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He mocks people who come in to report crimes to him by telling them he will &quot;write on his invisible typewriter&quot;. This includes a man with a lighter saying &quot;I just torched a building down town and I'm afraid I'll do it again&quot;. On several instances, he has switched off his police radio in the middle of an important call because he did not want to be bothered. Such instances included a &quot;riot in progress&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[I Love Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also leaves the station completely unmanned during night hours, save for an answering machine, once causing 75 emergencies to go unanswered (and were quickly erased). He has also expressed annoyance at the citizens he's supposed to be protecting (&quot;Can't you people solve these problems yourselves? I mean we can't be 'policing' the whole city&quot;). He has also refused to come to the aid of citizens, claiming that they were just too busy to help, when all he was doing was playing checkers with one of the police dogs. In order to get off the phone during a state lottery drawing, Wiggum informed the caller that she had the wrong number and that &quot;this is... 912&quot;.<br /> <br /> He once rejected Marge's claim that it was illegal to mail threatening letters, until the police handbook proved her right. At that moment, he also learned from the handbook that it was illegal to &quot;put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling&quot;, and immediately shouted to the rest of his officers to stop doing exactly that.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Cape Feare]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Despite his questionable competency at being an officer, Wiggum seems to be very attached to both the police force and his fellow officers. On the few occasions where Wiggum loses his commission, he breaks down shockingly fast,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; even degrading to the level of a common mugger,&lt;ref name=&quot;Eighteenth Amendment&quot;/&gt; although he isn't particularly good at this either as he had to sell the trigger and handle of his gun to feed his family. This pathetic sight prompts Homer to help him get his job back. Once in a while Wiggum will have an argument with his fellow officers, which often end in dramatic, tearful moments of reconciliation. On one occasion, Lou had thought about leaving the force to pursue a career in home security, which leaves Wiggum nearly a tearful mess.<br /> <br /> Despite all this, there are occasional hints that Chief Wiggum has the potential to actually be a very good policeman if only he'd be less lazy and complacent. When investigating Mr. Burns' attempted murder, Wiggum displays an astonishingly skilled eye for ballistics and fingerprinting, enough to make positive identifications without any specialized equipment. In fact, Wiggum's entire investigation of the shooting is uncharacteristically dogged, showing the police talking to everyone from [[Seymour Skinner]] to [[Moe Szyslak]], to [[Tito Puente]], and even to his own son [[Ralph Wiggum]]. He also had a bit of a talent for tasting substances for foreign agents, which he notably used with Homer's tainted Groovy Grove juice to identify it as being laced with Peyote after noticing Lou acting odd at work.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[D'oh-in' in the Wind]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He is also shown to have legitimate frustrations when people waste the Police Force's precious time and resources for extremely trivial reasons, such as when Carmen Electra had Marge and Homer Simpson placed in Jail for murder and nearly executed just to give her reality show, [[Frame Up]], more ratings.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Frying Game]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Another good example is where Wiggum is charged with finding a supposedly missing Bart Simpson. It is shown in this occasion as well that Wiggum is one of the few people that seems quite aware of his or her own incompetence, much to his dismay and an inevitable gorging on pancake to lessen the blow. In the end, however, much to the shock of almost everyone in Springfield, including his own men, Wiggum finds Bart by using a rather clever tactical method and actually performs his job admirably. He is promoted to Police commissioner, and it seems things may be finally looking up for him. It is discovered eventually, however, that Bart's abduction was merely a hoax, distressing Wiggum greatly as he finally had done some great good but at merely the wrong time. Curiously, however, it doesn't seem that his position of Commissioner is taken away, although he is never seen in this position of power again. Judging from his usual boredom with most cases and situations in his work, it would seem that perhaps when he is actually motivated he shows far greater skill and zeal. It has been shown several times that the level of resources that the Springfield police have is shockingly low. It has been stated by Lou that Wiggum, Lou and Eddie are the only police officers in the city (however, there are more).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Coming to Homerica]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Wiggum also mentioned to Lisa that the police force only have the resources to enforce the last law passed in Springfield, which even Wiggum admitted is the worst system possible. It's also implied that Chief Wiggum sometimes has to dress in drag when it comes to Stakeout missions.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lost Our Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Family ===<br /> Beside his late father, Clancy is the husband of [[Sarah Wiggum]], whom he met when he was arresting her for possession of drugs that he planted on her to &quot;make her notice him&quot;, and is the father of [[Ralph Wiggum]]. He has a cousin called Mark, who went to Pennsylvania State University, he was a &quot;fat kid... played a lot of Tetris&quot;. He has a deceased brother-in-law named Fred Kanickee, an uncle who (according to Wiggum) died of &quot;crotch dot&quot;, and an unnamed brother who, after attending military school, presumably went crazy and now &quot;owns and operates a famous cave&quot;. He also says he has a sister which is completely bald like Sphynx cats.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Future ===<br /> It is shown in [[Professor Frink]]'s future machine that Wiggum will, along with Lou and Eddie, become a Robo-Cop like machine-officer with a rotisserie in his stomach.<br /> === Video games ===<br /> ==== The Simpsons: Hit and Run ====<br /> Wiggum appears several times in ''The Simpsons Hit and Run'' video game. The first time was during Level 2, where he attempts to arrest Bart for buying illegal fireworks (he used his son Ralph Wiggum as bait to arrest people buying illegal fireworks as part of a sting operation), intending to place him under five life sentences of community service, but he fails to catch his quarry, although he later seems to forget this as he tells Bart that Herman's Military Antiques was robbed of a radio recently, and suggests, although not completely sure, that the skid marks from tires would probably lead to the culprit. He later appears in Level 3 when he is trying to bust [[Snake Jailbird]] under the Three Strikes Law, but hasn't gotten any evidence yet due to his being a &quot;very, very bad cop.&quot; in his own words. Lisa manages to help him collect evidence to put Snake away in exchange for information in regards to her brother's whereabouts. However, he makes a bigger role in [[Level 4]], where he first asks [[Marge]] to collect some donuts which are falling out of a [[Lard Lad Donuts|Lard Lad Donuts truck]] due to suffering a severe case of sugar withdrawal in exchange for giving her information about cropcircles, and secondly when he races Marge to [[742 Evergreen Terrace]] after she destroyed several trucks of Buzz Cola (he was deeply upset at Marge for doing so due to Buzz Cola being the only thing that allowed him to &quot;gain the courage to take his shirt off in the station locker room&quot;).<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons Game ====<br /> Wiggum appears at the end of [[Bartman Begins]] to take Principal Skinner away for having the three teenagers rob the museum. He also appears as one of the contestants in the Duff Ultimate Eating Challenge in [[Around the World in 80 Bites]].<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ====<br /> ===== Default =====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Civil Servants|Wiggum}}<br /> <br /> ===== Number 50 =====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Stonecutters|Number50}}<br /> <br /> ===== Beer Stein Wiggum =====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/More Costumes|BeerSteinWiggum}}<br /> <br /> ===== Mummy Wiggum =====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Mummies|MummyWiggum}}<br /> <br /> === Other ===<br /> Chief Wiggum has his own spin-off show in &quot;[[The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]&quot;, &quot;Wiggum P.I.&quot; He he is fired from the Springfield force for corruption and moves to New Orleans to start working as a private investigator, with Skinner as his partner. Wiggum and Ralph live in a boat house, and Ralph is kidnapped by a villain called [[Big Daddy]]. He later finds his son, and Big Daddy escapes.<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> Wiggum is voiced by [[Hank Azaria]] and is based on a stereotypical police chief, shown as lazy, incompetent and to have a fondness for donuts. [[Hank Azaria]] first based his voice for Wiggum on {{W|David Brinkley}} but it was too slow and he switched it to an [[Edward G. Robinson]] impression.<br /> <br /> His surname &quot;Wiggum&quot; is [[Matt Groening]]'s mother's maiden name. As &quot;a conscious pun&quot; Wiggum was designed to look like a pig, and in the episode &quot;[[Marge Gamer]]&quot;, his [[Earthland Realms]] alter-ego looked much like his real-life self, only with a pig nose, tail, etc. Wiggum was also designed to be dumber and fatter than Homer Simpson.&lt;ref&gt;''[[Springfield Confidential]]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Foreign dubs ===<br /> {{Dub voices<br /> |czVoice={{W|cs:Bohdan Tůma|Bohdan Tůma}}<br /> |daVoice={{W|da:Peter Zhelder|Peter Zhelder}} (movie)&lt;br&gt;{{W|da:Peter Røschke|Peter Røschke}} (movie; one scene)<br /> |huVoice=Róbert Kajtár<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> {{Incomplete}}<br /> {{scroll|<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Odyssey}}<br /> *{{ep|The Call of the Simpsons}}<br /> *{{ep|The Telltale Head}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Night Out}}<br /> *{{ep|Krusty Gets Busted}}<br /> *{{ep|Simpson and Delilah}}<br /> *{{ep|Dead Putting Society}}<br /> *{{ep|One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish}}<br /> *{{ep|The War of the Simpsons}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart the Murderer}}<br /> *{{ep|Blood Feud}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Defined}}<br /> *{{ep|Like Father, Like Clown}}<br /> *{{ep|I Married Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Radio Bart}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Greek}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Alone}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer at the Bat}}<br /> *{{ep|Separate Vocations}}<br /> *{{ep|Kamp Krusty|episode}}<br /> *{{ep|A Streetcar Named Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Heretic}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Beauty Queen}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror III}}<br /> *{{ep|Itchy &amp; Scratchy: The Movie}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge Gets a Job}}<br /> *{{ep|New Kid on the Block}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Triple Bypass}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge vs. the Monorail}}<br /> *{{ep|Selma's Choice}}<br /> *{{ep|Brother from the Same Planet}}<br /> *{{ep|I Love Lisa}}<br /> *{{ep|Duffless}}<br /> *{{ep|Last Exit to Springfield}}<br /> *{{ep|So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show}}<br /> *{{ep|The Front}}<br /> *{{ep|Whacking Day}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge in Chains}}<br /> *{{ep|Krusty Gets Kancelled}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Barbershop Quartet}}<br /> *{{ep|Cape Feare}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror IV}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge on the Lam}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Loves Flanders}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart's Inner Child}}<br /> *{{ep|Who Shot Mr. Burns?

For a few years they lived here, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage. This was at the time they moved to Springfield. At some point, Orville opened up the [[Professor Simpson's Universal Panacea for Disagreeable Juveniles]] juvenile school. There, he showed dozens of men how to punish their boys by strangling Abe as an example. However, despite this, his father didn't approve, and strangled him. <br /> <br /> Eventually, Tyrone grew up and moved to Dayton, Ohio. In America, Orville and Yuma had another son, and named him Bill. Abraham and Cyrus grew up, with them both becoming navy pilots in WWII. Cyrus crashed his fighter plane in Tahiti, and moved there permanently, later becoming married to 15 women, to whom he is still married. Bill grew up and became a communist. During the war, Orville and Yuma had their final child, and named him Chet. Orville and Yuma later grew old and passed away (however, he was still alive according to Homer&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Winter of His Content]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;. Chet grew up to and started to run an unsuccessful shrimp company. <br /> <br /> Orville was seen in Heaven by Bart after getting hit by a car,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; strangling young Homer, hinting the habit is a family trait. He is present in Grampa's story when Grampa tells the family of his arrival in the U.S.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Much Apu About Nothing]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He is the only son of [[&quot;Old Tut&quot; Simpson]] and [[&quot;Happy&quot; Simpson]].&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets Hit by a Car}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Loves Flanders|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Much Apu About Nothing|(flashback)}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer to the Max|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|The Winter of His Content|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Mathlete's Feat|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Dad Behavior|(flashback)}}<br /> *{{ep|A Father's Watch|(flashback)}}<br /> *{{bk|The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album}}<br /> *{{bon3|Abe's First Radio}}<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Greatgrampasimpson.png<br /> Orville popeye.png<br /> A Father's Watch promo 3.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Simpson family}}<br /> {{Deceased characters}}<br /> {{Simpsons characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Simpson, Orville}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Seniors]]<br /> [[Category:Characters voiced by Hank Azaria]]<br /> [[Category:Recurring characters]]<br /> [[Category:Characters introduced in season 2]]</div>

Jasper also tried to avoid the draft by disguising himself as a woman and staying in Springfield to play in the local women's baseball league, along with his friend Abe, who was also avoiding the war. He has been a substitute teacher who confiscated everything made of tin (according to [[Lisa]]) and got his beard caught in the pencil sharpener.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The PTA Disbands]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also preceded [[Reverend Timothy Lovejoy|Reverend Lovejoy]] as minister at the Simpsons' church in Springfield.<br /> <br /> Jasper unsuccessfully auditioned for [[The Be Sharps]] by singing &quot;Theme From A Summer Place&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> An actor played a version of Jasper in the film ''{{ap|Bart's Not Dead|film}}''.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Bart's Not Dead]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Health Issues ===<br /> ==== Vision ====<br /> It is implied that Jasper is slowly going blind. This ailment was once cured by a laser fired by a house's security protection equipment, but he was blinded again almost immediately. He accepted this very quickly: &quot;Oh well. Easy come, easy go.&quot; Despite the sight problem, Jasper is both a light sleeper and is still quick with his reflexes. When Abe Simpson tried to steal his dentures one night, Jasper turned on the light immediately and, with a gun aimed at Abe, foiled the nocturnal theft. Also, when everyone comes to watch the [[Itchy &amp; Scratchy]] episode &quot;[[The Beagle Has Landed]]&quot;, he looks down to [[Bart]] and asks &quot;Hey little girl, is this seat taken?&quot;, Bart replies angrily with &quot;I'm not a little ''girl''!! Are you blind?!&quot;, in which Jasper replies sadly with &quot;Yes&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==== Other Major Accidents ====<br /> Jasper was put in crude &quot;suspended animation&quot; in the [[Kwik-E-Mart]]'s freezer, and under advice from [[Dr. Nick Riviera]], [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu]] kept him frozen. When Jasper's frozen form became popular with customers, Apu started exploiting the spectacle, and transformed the Kwik-E-Mart into a special interest store dealing with weird items, or perfectly ordinary ones which had been made out to be abnormal (for example, a cash machine that dispenses pictures of &quot;dead presidents&quot;). He put a Viking helmet on Jasper (or &quot;Frostillicus,&quot; as Apu renamed him), but when Jasper was accidentally unfrozen and stepped out into what he thought was a future world, Apu's dreams of wealth were once again crushed. Apu was considering selling him to [[The Rich Texan]].<br /> Jasper has unfortunate events like [[Hans Moleman]] because he has had many accidents.<br /> <br /> ==== Minor Accidents ====<br /> Jasper was shot in his artificial leg by [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]], on the same night of the nearly fatal shooting of [[Mr. Burns]]. He also claimed to have &quot;broke&quot; his beard during a Death Race accident with Abe Simpson and [[Old Jewish Man]], and even managed to get his beard stuck in a pencil sharpener while substituting for the striking teachers of Springfield Elementary. He also mentioned that he is diabetic in, and was shot in the arm.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One time, Jasper, under the mistaken belief that it was Wednesday, took some of his Wednesday pills until he learned it was actually Friday, which caused him to morph into a similar creature to a Lorax from the Dr. Seuss stories.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Springfield Files]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Fake Leg ===<br /> Jasper is shown to have a fake left leg while sparring with Old Jewish Man. Smithers also shot Jasper in the wooden leg while in a drunken stupor. However, when he substituted for Lisa's class, he was wearing sandals and clearly had both feet.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> Jasper is a friend of fellow resident [[Abraham Simpson|Abe Simpson]], but not always. When Abe's girlfriend [[Beatrice Simmons|Bea]] died, Jasper told him what had happened and comforted him. However, Jasper possibly bullies Abe regularly - on one occasion, he steals Abe's newspaper because he wants to do the crossword puzzle. He had a wife, Estelle, now deceased.

Simpson''', or '''Great-Grampa Simpson''', was born in the late 1800s in &quot;The Old Country&quot;, which could have been in [[Ireland]], [[Scotland]] or [[Canada]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Orville married [[Yuma Hickman]] in the early 1900s. The two soon had their first son, [[Hubert Simpson|Hubert]], with [[Tyrone Simpson|Tyrone]] coming two years later. A few years later, they had their third son, [[Cyrus Simpson|Cyrus]]. Sometime afterwards, they had their fourth son, Abraham, whom Orville named after his [[Abraham Simpson I|grandfather]].<br /> <br /> When Abraham was a young boy, Orville, Yuma and their four sons emigrated to America, and moved into the Statue of Liberty. For a few years they lived here, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage. At some point, Orville opened up the [[Professor Simpson's Universal Panacea for Disagreeable Juveniles]] juvenile school. There, he showed dozens of men how to punish their boys by strangling Abe as an example. However, despite this, his father didn't approve, and strangled him. <br /> <br /> Later, the family then moved to Springfield. When Tyrone grew up he moved to Dayton, Ohio. In America, Orville and Yuma had another son, and named him Bill. Abraham and Cyrus grew up, with them both becoming navy pilots in WWII. Cyrus crashed his fighter plane in Tahiti, and moved there permanently, later becoming married to 15 women, to whom he is still married. Bill grew up and became a communist. During the war, Orville and Yuma had their final child, and named him Chet. Orville and Yuma later grew old and passed away. Chet grew up to and started to run an unsuccessful shrimp company. <br /> <br /> Orville was seen in Heaven by Bart after getting hit by a car,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; strangling young Homer, hinting the habit is a family trait. He is present in Grampa's story when Grampa tells the family of his arrival in the U.S.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Much Apu About Nothing]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He is the only son of [[&quot;Old Tut&quot; Simpson]] and [[&quot;Happy&quot; Simpson]].&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets Hit by a Car}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Loves Flanders|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Much Apu About Nothing|(flashback)}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer to the Max|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|The Winter of His Content|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Mathlete's Feat|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Dad Behavior|(flashback)}}<br /> *{{ep|A Father's Watch|(flashback)}}<br /> *{{bk|The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album}}<br /> *{{bon3|Abe's First Radio}}<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Greatgrampasimpson.png<br /> File:Orville popeye.png<br /> File:A Father's Watch promo 3.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Simpson family}}<br /> {{Deceased characters}}<br /> {{Simpsons characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Simpson, Orville}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Seniors]]<br /> [[Category:Characters voiced by Hank Azaria]]<br /> [[Category:Recurring characters]]<br /> [[Category:Characters introduced in season 2]]</div>

He was of French origin.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Color Yellow]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> Like Patty and Selma, he was a chain smoker. While he was courting his future wife, he sent her a box of candy with his photo in it. After that, she never forgot him. Marge suggested that Homer try the same thing when he was upset because Mr. Burns did not remember his name.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> At some point he also served in the United States Navy where he picked up a swearing problem, which nearly cost him his job as a baby photographer. To solve this problem, his wife put a swear jar in the kitchen, and every time Clancy said a bad word, he had to put in a quarter.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Bart the Lover]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Clancy was one of the earliest male flight attendants, a job he held when Marge was a child, although he was ashamed of it, and told her he was a pilot instead. This was discovered when Marge boarded his plane to see her &quot;pilot&quot; father, but when she sees him performing stewardess duties, he yells at her not to look at him. This, along with several other plane-related mishaps, may have resulted in Marge's fear of flying.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Fear of Flying]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> === Dislike of Homer ===<br /> [[File:Clancybouvier7502.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Clancy with Patty and Selma.]]<br /> <br /> Clancy first met Homer when he showed up at the Bouvier home claiming to be Marge's prom date (who was actually [[Artie Ziff]]).

He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Grampa Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> Almost all of Grampa's biographical information is supplied by himself. Many of his stories seem to be wildly inaccurate, often physically or historically impossible, and occasionally inconsistent even with each other, suggesting Abe is senile. (Though his reaction to [[Bart]]'s reaction to one of his stories implies he is aware he is being inconsistent.) As such, all information provided is taken with a grain of salt. He is a member of the [[Stonecutters]], masons, communists, as well as being president of the gay and lesbian party for some reason. Additionally, he suffers from sporadic narcoleptic attacks.<br /> <br /> === History ===<br /> [[File:Gorgeous Grampa artwork.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Abraham as &quot;Glamorous Godfrey&quot;]]<br /> ==== Childhood ====<br /> Abraham Jedediah Simpson, perennially known as &quot;Grampa&quot; Simpson, was born in the &quot;Old Country&quot;; he apparently does not remember which country exactly. Most likely it was Canada, as that is where his great-great-grandparents immigrated in 1860 to avoid being arrested for helping a slave ([[Virgil Simpson|his great-great-grandfather]], to be precise) escape. Abe claims, when he was a young boy, he immigrated to America with his parents, and moved into the Statue of Liberty. For a few years they lived here, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Much Apu About Nothing]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also says he served in the first World War and had to lie about his age, being around five at the time.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Special Edna]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He worked as a shoeshine boy at [[Springfield Union Station]], and claims a not-yet-famous [[Clark Gable]] was one of his customers, whom he gave his copy of ''Gone With the Wind''.&lt;ref name=&quot;Thursdays with Abie&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the army ====<br /> In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Abe was participating in the javelin event. His throw nearly hit [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]], watching in the stands. Luckily, (for Hitler) it missed and hit the man about to assassinate him. At a later date, Grampa claimed he and Hitler laughed about it.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;&gt;[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Simpson Flying Hellfish.png|thumb|left|200px|Abe fighting for the Flying Hellfish.]]<br /> <br /> Abe's recollections of his [[World War II]] experiences are sometimes implausible. Abe was not initially keen to fight in Europe. After the United States declared war, he supposedly tried to avoid service by dressing in drag and playing for [[Springfield Floozies|a women's baseball team]] in 1942, which kept him from serving for a year before he was eventually discovered.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Later on, he and his unit served in {{w|The Battle of the Bulge}}, where he nearly succeeded in assassinating Hitler (though Montgomery Burns thwarted it at the last moment). Almost a year later, they invade an abandoned castle owned by the Nazis and flushed the Nazis out, though Montgomery tries to remove some paintings. Although he opposed the decision, and was morally against the idea, he ended up deciding to let Burns do it, though only so he might have a nest-egg after retirement. After &quot;liberating&quot; a stash of priceless art from the Nazis, Abe's unit (the [[Flying Hellfish]]) formed a tontine, and buried the art in a trunk at sea. Decades later, [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] tried to murder Abe in order to get the art, prompting Abe to violate the tontine. When Abe and Bart retrieve the art from Burns after a spectacular confrontation, the State Department arrives to give the art to their &quot;rightful&quot; owner, [[Baron von Wörtzenburger]], a snooty young German aristocrat (this part implies this did actually happen).<br /> <br /> Abe fathered an illegitimate daughter in the [[United Kingdom]] the day before he joined the D-Day operations in {{w|Normandy}}. Years later, Abe and his family met his daughter, lending further credence to the idea he served in Europe. Moreover, he once showed Bart and Lisa an album with photos of Germans killed by his platoon. He was also awarded the Iron Cross for accidentally directing U.S. jeeps into Nazi minefields. Another piece of information to support this idea is the fact he visited [[Simpson &amp; Son Pub|O'Flanagan's Pub]]in Ireland a long time ago in his WWII sergeant's uniform.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe once dressed as a woman dancer in disguise and made sexual motions toward Adolf Hitler, but when he leaned in, one of the fruits in his bra fell on the stage and Adolf Hitler gagged.<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the navy ====<br /> Abe also claims to have served in the Navy during World War II. He served as a pilot on an aircraft carrier with his brother, Cyrus, and Montgomery Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpsons Christmas Stories]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also served on a destroyer called the USS ''World War One'' during World War II. The USS World War One was sunk by a heat seeking torpedo they fired the other day. After the ship sunk, Abe and his fellow sailors rode on the back of sharks to avoid being eaten by them and had them swim in formation to spell a rescue message. It is also implied they tamed and befriended the sharks in question as a result.&lt;ref name=&quot;Thursdays with Abie&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Abraham also says he served on PT boat 109, where he heard John F. Kennedy speaking in German (&quot;Ich bin ein Berliner&quot;). Abe proclaimed Kenendy was a Nazi and he and the fellow sailors tackled Kennedy.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson Tide]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He boasts of having been a watchman at Pearl Harbor (falling asleep on duty), and claims President {{w|Grover Cleveland}} spanked him on two nonconsecutive occasions.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Two Bad Neighbors]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Also, in 1947, he met future Itchy creator and bum [[Chester J. Lampwick]], and he offered him a plate of corn muffins under the condition Lampwick paint his chicken coop. However, he never did, resulting in Abe carrying a grudge against him for many years. Lampwick later revealed this was because the corn muffins were &quot;lousy.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Day the Violence Died]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life in the air force====<br /> [[File:Mona1950s.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Abe and Mona in the 1950s.]]<br /> In the 1950s, Abe joined the air force. Here, he met his future wife, Mona, a cocktail waitress at the main diner near the base, where she was known as Sunny. Abe fell in love with Mona, but wasn't brave enough to attract her attention, so he stopped his regular maintenance job and took a supersonic flight that nearly killed him, but won Mona over.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Let's Go Fly a Coot]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Fatherhood ====<br /> [[File:Abe mona.png|left|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona's wedding day]]<br /> Afterwards, he went to the carnival, and encountered a prostitute, thus resulting in the procreation of his illegitimate son, Herb Powell. He married Mona and, after having a bit of his tonic with her, they made love and accidentally procreated Homer Simpson. Mona, shortly after Homer's birth, made Abe swear not to tell Homer he has a half brother. He continued to use the Simpson farm until the bank foreclosed the farm due to the cows producing sour milk, theorizing something must have spooked them good. (Unknown to Abe, the reason why the cows were spooked was Homer traumatized them by running around and yelling at them.) When Homer aspired to become President of the United States (more specifically President Kennedy), Abe beat Homer down for thinking Homer even had a chance of becoming President.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; After moving from the farm, they settled in an apartment, and watched the third Super Bowl, which indirectly made him responsible for his wife becoming a hippie. He was dragged to [[Wikipedia:Woodstock Festival|Woodstock]], and after scolding Homer for emulating the hippie lifestyle, attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War. After Mona was forced to run away from home after destroying Mr. Burns's Germ Warfare Lab, he lied to Homer by claiming Mona died when he was at the movies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Mother Simpson]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He started work at [[Spiro's]] and wrote songs. [[Rita LaFleur]] heard his songs, liked them, she starting singing his songs, and they married. When Rita was going to go on a tour of Europe, Abe stayed in the U.S. to raise Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Gone Abie Gone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Rise to fame ====<br /> The whole family went on a visit to Wet 'N' Wacky World. When the rest of the family were watching [[Slimu]], Grampa stayed on a shark bench and recalled how he once rode a shark. Then a newspaper columnist named [[Marshall Goldman]] turned up, and was interested in his stories. Soon the whole of [[Springfield]] was reading them. Despite being offered a chance for [[Mitch Albom]] to write about him, Grampa sticks with Marshall, constantly with him writing what he says. Homer comes to visit his father, but Abe rejects him. While Homer is submitting a column to the shopper about [[Mr. Burns]] (who Homer uses as an adoptive father to get back at Abe), he sneaks into Marshall's office, and finds out Marshall is planning to kill Abe at precisely 3pm on the Tinseltown Starliner, and even has the article and award application ready. Meanwhile at Springfield Union Station, Abe is aboard the train with Marshall, and despite Homer's many attempts to warn him, Abe has no idea because of hearing problems. When he is sleeping, Marshall is just about to suffocate him when Homer jumps aboard and stops him, not expecting Marshall to pull out a knife, and retrieve a gun form the pillow. They both wrestle for control of the gun when Abe gets up and hits Marshall on the head with a bottle, but this has no effect. When putting his hands up to surrender, he grabs the trains emergency brake lever, which sends Marshall flying back and causes him to be crushed by luggage. Both Homer and Grampa embrace, and the family is back together. In the end Abe decides to let Homer tell the story of how he saved Homer's life (his first ramble) and Homer ends up talking about Godzilla and The Rolling Stones.&lt;ref name=&quot;Thursdays with Abie&quot;/&gt; Abe also showed he is good at sporting activities even though he is old, winning the Senior Olympics.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life today ====<br /> [[File:Abefolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Grampa's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]<br /> Due to his apparent senility, Abe is often ignored by Homer and other family members, and is alternatively content with this, resentful of this, or completely unaware of his being ignored. Abe is very friendly with Jasper and the Jewish Old Man. Like Hans Moleman, Abe often appears in recurring gags. He is also very unlucky and forgetful at times sometimes forgetting where he lives or where his son lives. Abe also had a number of affairs, most notably with [[Beatrice Simmons]], who died and left Abe an inheritance of $106,000. He also had an affair with [[Jackie Bouvier]] [Marge's mother], who broke up with him after she was wooed by Mr. Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He was also briefly married to Marge's sister Selma.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Rome-Old and Juli-Eh]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe also acted as a good father to Homer at times and also acted as a good grandfather to Bart and Lisa. However, he does not like cheekiness from Homer, Bart, or Lisa. He also demands to be treated right and he reckons he is just as important as the others.<br /> <br /> ==== Occupations ====<br /> For forty years, Abe worked as a security guard at a cranberry silo.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Front]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Within his elderly years, he was a Wal-Mart greeter, a cartoon writer, and a traveling salesman of an aphrodisiac.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> ==== Homer ====<br /> Abe was not a particularly caring father to Homer, as evidenced at one point when he tells his son, ''&quot;Homer, you're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!&quot;'' Homer does not normally appear to resent these casual abuses, though in one episode Abe calls Homer an accident, years of pent up anger on Homer's part leads to a temporary estrangement. Homer also takes every opportunity to ignore or reject his father, whom he placed in a dilapidated retirement home. Abe held a variety of postwar jobs, including a farmer in Homer's early childhood until the bank foreclosed. Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked 1950s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family. Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a [[Springfield Retirement Castle|retirement home]] some three weeks later. Abe was also angered about Homer's role in ensuring the [[Trappuccino]] incident, yelling &quot;I'm part of the mob!&quot; when Homer inquired on his safety.<br /> <br /> ==== Other family ====<br /> Abraham Simpson is the estranged husband to [[Mona Simpson]], father to [[Homer Simpson]], father-in-law to [[Marge Simpson]] and grandfather to siblings [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]. He also fathered two illegitimate children; a daughter named [[Abbey]] by a British lady named [[Edwina]] while in England during World War II and [[Herbert Powell]] with a carnival hooker. He was briefly married to [[Amber Simpson|Amber]], the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge. Also in [[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]], the family tree shows his parents' names to be [[Orville Simpson]] and [[Yuma Hickman]]. Abe's brother [[Cyrus Simpson|Cyrus]] lives in Tahiti with multiple wives.<br /> <br /> ==== Mona ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Mona present.PNG|right|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona are reunited during Mona's return to Springfield.]]<br /> He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching {{w|Joe Namath}} on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab owned by Montgomery Burns. Abe had no interest in this, instead focusing on the TV. Abe tells a six-year-old Homer Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe would point out her supposed grave (which actually belonged to [[Walt Whitman]]) every time the family drove past it. However, after Homer went to the Springfield Hall of Records to prove he was still alive (after faking his death in order to avoid having work on Saturday), he learnt from the record that his mother was still alive. <br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> [[File:Springfield Retirement Castle.png|left|200px|thumb|The Springfield Retirement Castle, Abe's home.]]<br /> Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]]; a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people (a sign near the entrance says &quot;Thank you for not discussing the outside world&quot;). Abe also informs Lisa residents are not allowed to read newspapers because &quot;they angry up the blood&quot;. His closest friend appears to be [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]], a fellow Retirement Castle resident.<br /> <br /> He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint on his old-fashioned typewriter. He once wrote to the President, complaining there were too many states, and requesting they get rid of three of them (simultaneously insisting he was &quot;not a crackpot&quot;). He also wrote to &quot;the sickos at ''Modern Bride Magazine''&quot; about his disgust at not seeing &quot;one wrinkled face&quot; or &quot;a single toothless grin&quot; in the publication. He also owns a 49-star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of [[Missouri]]: ''&quot;I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura.&quot;''<br /> <br /> He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: &quot;The {{w|metric system}} is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.&quot; Like many of his fellow Retirement Castle residents, Abe is a devoted follower of ''[[Matlock]]''. He even supports tearing down the Simpsons' house in order to complete construction of the proposed &quot;Matlock Expressway&quot;. He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: &quot;I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. It's probably that evil [[wikipedia:Gavin MacLeod|Gavin MacLeod]] or [[wikipedia:George Lindsey|George 'Goober' Lindsey]].&quot; During a ''Matlock'' public appearance, Abe and [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]] swipe Matlock's pills, needed to prevent him from having a spastic heart failure. Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but decided it was alright because &quot;we did have two shows with [[wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]].&quot; He joins the mob when it was revealed Homer contaminated Lake Springfield and barely refrained from killing Marge, Lisa and Bart with a shotgun.<br /> <br /> Grampa also had a habit of telling stories about his past though a lot of the time these stories didn't really happen. Presumably his senility caused him to think he really did have these experiences; alternatively he could have simply been lying about them. However at least one of his stories was true; the one about the Flying Hellfish.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> In [[Treehouse of Horror IV]], in the section Bart Simpson's Dracula, The Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. The Simpsons are eating dinner and Lisa finds out her whole family are vampires, including Grandpa, who pretends to be the head vampire when in reality Marge is. Lisa mistakingly killed Burns but she should've killed Marge. The Simpsons say Happy Halloween while going through a Charlie Brown Christmas Special ending parody.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons Game ===<br /> He first appears in the level [[Mob Rules]] as one of the people Marge can bring into her mob to protest the sale of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' video game to minors. His younger self appears in [[Medal of Homer]] to give Bart and Homer orders as for what to do in each of its three missions.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===<br /> ==== Default ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Simpsons|Grampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Gorgeous Grampa ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Costumes|GorgeousGrampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Number 111 ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Stonecutters|Number111}}<br /> <br /> ==== Toreador Grampa ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Sporty Oldies|ToreadorGrampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Hellfish Abe ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Costumes|HellfishAbe}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> === Creation ===<br /> Groening famously named the five main Simpson characters after members of his own family: his parents, Homer and Marge (or Marjorie in full), and his younger sisters, Lisa and Margaret (Maggie). Claiming it was a bit too obvious to name a character after himself, he chose the name &quot;Bart,&quot; an anagram of brat.&lt;ref name=&quot;americasfirstfamily&quot;&gt;{{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}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;radiotimes&quot;&gt;{{cite web |last=Duncan |first=Andrew |title=Matt Groening |work=Radio Times | url=http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/other/interviews/groening99c.html | date=September 18–24, 1999 | accessmonthday=September 19 | accessyear=2007}}&lt;/ref&gt; When it came time to give Grampa Simpson a first name, Groening says he refused to name him after his own grandfather, Abraham Groening, leaving it to other writers to choose a name.

Smithers, Jr.''' (better known as &quot;'''Mr. Smithers'''&quot; or simply as &quot;'''Smithers'''&quot;) is [[Mr. Burns]] personal assistant, executive, and self-proclaimed best friend. He is openly gay as he came out, but due to how poorly he hid his sexuality most people knew that beforehand.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Burns Cage&quot;&gt;&quot;[[The Burns Cage]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> Smithers' father, [[Waylon Smithers, Sr.]], worked for Burns until he died of radiation poisoning after saving Springfield from a potential nuclear meltdown,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Blunder Years]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; making Mr. Burns the closest thing to a father figure he knew. In high school, he was beaten up by bullies (including [[Homer Simpson]]), while he was the announcer for the high school gymnastics competition. Eventually he became Mr. Burns' personal assistant.<br /> <br /> As a (not very well) closeted gay man, he has had a crush on Mr. Burns for as long as he as worked for him, but Burns has never caught on. He was previously married to a woman (a southern belle, given her accent and personality), but it fell apart when, shortly after an injury with his leg, and his then-wife wanted to have sex with him, his then-wife referred to his true love, Mr. Burns, as &quot;awful&quot;. At one point it was implied that he was linked romantically to {{ap|John|gay}}, the owner of Cockamamie's thrift shop.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Phobia]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He collects [[Malibu Stacy]] dolls, writes a newsletter about the doll,&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and was the author of a Malibu Stacy stage musical that played in Arizona; he played Stacy's boyfriend.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer vs. Dignity]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He once owned a Yorkshire Terrier named [[Hercules]]. When Mr. Burns convinced [[Sideshow Bob]] to run for mayor, it was Smithers who revealed to [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] a clue that would lead them to the truth about Bob's not-so-honest victory in the mayoral election, hinting that his reasons were due to Sideshow Bob planning on enacting policies that were oppressive to his orientation.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1995, when Mr. Burns attempted to block the sun from [[Springfield]] after stealing oil from the [[Springfield Elementary School|elementary school]], Smithers objected and was fired. This drove him into a nightmare of alcohol abuse and Comedy Central viewing. He was the main suspect in the subsequent shooting of Mr. Burns, but he was cleared. However, he did, in a drunken stupor, shoot [[Jasper]] in his wooden leg while trying to rush home to watch his favorite TV show. No charges were pressed in this case. It is unknown as to what religion he practices, although it is heavily implied that he is Protestant, as he goes to a confessional stand (which is primarily a Catholic practice), and before making the confession, he admits to God that he is not a Catholic, although he did try to march in the Saint Patrick's Day Parade.&lt;ref name=&quot;Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:SmithersFolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Mr. Smithers' character folder seen in the Hall of Records.]]<br /> Smithers' official job at the power plant appears to be that of executive assistant, which he says is &quot;actually about 2,800 smaller jobs&quot;,&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; responsible for monitoring employee attendance and is often a disciplinarian and has won dozens of &quot;Employee of the Month&quot; awards.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer Defined]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He has often hinted at wanting to be promoted to the position of executive vice president, but Burns has repeatedly squashed this dream, while whimsically bestowing the vice presidency on Homer&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson and Delilah]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and a dog.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Enemy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He was once, however, made the CEO of the Nuclear Power Plant in Burns' stead when Mr. Burns was arrested for stealing paintings from a museum, a position that is arguably better than vice president, although he hints that he didn't want the job. He initially tried to be an employee-friendly boss, but after overhearing a conversation between [[Lenny]], [[Carl]] and Homer while meeting at [[Moe's Tavern]] that revealed that they were abusing his employee-friendly nature to in essence goof off, he became a worse CEO than Mr. Burns (even going as far as to release wolverines in the house instead of hounds). He eventually gave up on the position willingly after Mr. Burns was released by Lenny, Carl and Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[American History X-cellent]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Smithers has the largest collection of Malibu Stacy dolls in the World and is the president of the Malibu Stacy fan club.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> Smithers has been implied to be gay several times despite not declaring it himself. He has several gay friends and frequents Springfield's gay village. When he was arrested for trying to get opium for [[Mr. Burns]], he is implied to be gay when Mr. Burns says to [[Homer]] &quot;I've never seen someone taken to a Turkish prison so quickly.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Three Gays of the Condo]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and goes on a vacation to a male-only resort.&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Smithers is shown to be quite passionate for Mr. Burns. Smithers has occasional fantasies about Burns, like dreaming he is on his bed and suddenly Mr. Burns appears flying through the window.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge Gets a Job]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; When he turns his computer on, it shows a nude Burns saying &quot;Hello Smithers. You're quite good at turning me on&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;/&gt; Smithers has declared his love for Burns on some occasions, such as kissing Mr. Burns on the lips after saying &quot;Oh, what the hell!&quot;, believing the world was ending, later explaining it to him as &quot;merely a sign of my respect&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa the Skeptic]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Another hint of Smithers sexuality is when he seems to have been dating John, a gay man.<br /> <br /> Burns has remained largely ignorant of Smithers' devoted adoration. Burns himself has been involved with several women, much to Smithers' frustration, like when Mr. Burns fell in love with Marge and with a woman called [[Gloria]]. Smithers was noticeably disgusted when Burns started looking for a female companion.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Burns, for his part, views (and refers to) Smithers as a lackey, albeit a highly valued one for his competence and toadying. He has &quot;rewarded&quot; Smithers' devotion with the future &quot;honor&quot; of being buried alive with him after he dies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Burns' Heir]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Smithers has been shown to be somewhat dependant on his relationship with Burns, like the occasion when Burns orders Smithers to take a vacation and Homer is hired as a temporary replacement. When Homer loses his temper and punches Burns in the face, Mr. Burns learns to become self-reliant and this results in Smithers being fired. Smithers decides that he needs to be Burns' assistant and eventually gets his job back.&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;/&gt; For all his sycophantic devotion to Mr. Burns, Smithers has been willing to challenge him on some occasions. He opposed his employer's various evil schemes Burns fired him. As a result of his firing, Smithers became a &quot;hideous drunken wreck&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and when Mr. Burns was shot later, Smithers thought he might have done it while he was drunk. When it was proven that he had not, Smithers seemingly forgave Burns and demanded that the culprit be brought to justice, offering a reward for the capture of the perpetrator.&lt;ref name=&quot;Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> Smithers' romantic interest has largely been aimed at Mr. Burns who appears oblivious to Smithers' affections. Smithers entered a relationship with [[Julio]] after quitting from his job, however it was apparent that Smithers was not over Burns so Julio ended it.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Burns Cage&quot;/&gt; It's been implied that Smithers had a thing with [[Mr. Largo]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[See Homer Run]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[What to Expect When Bart's Expecting]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Future ===<br /> [[File:Doggy Smithers.png|thumb|Smithers as a robotic dog]]<br /> As seen on [[Professor Frink]]'s future machine, at age 58, Smithers injects himself with medicine every 10 minutes to become straight (upon taking the injection he waves his arms in the air and shouts &quot;I loves boobies!&quot;).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Future-Drama]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; At age 65, he thawed out Mr. Burns and had his 17 stab wounds to the back cured. He attended [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa Simpson's]] wedding with him.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa's Wedding]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; At age 1,000,050, his head is on a robotic dog body and follows Mr. Burns' head everywhere.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Rosebud]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: The Arcade Game ===<br /> Smithers appears in this game as the first boss of the final level, as well as one of the main antagonists. Smithers, presumably under Mr. Burns' command, broke into a jewelry store to steal a diamond. As he and his fellow henchmen were making their escape, he (quite literally) bumped into the Simpson's family, causing him to lose the diamond, and for Maggie to catch it. Because of this setback, Smithers ends up kidnapping Maggie and, after a few misadventures, Smithers makes it back to the Nuclear Power Plant, although not without the Simpsons family following him. He then fights the Simpsons family, remarking &quot;Welcome to my world!&quot; He lobbed several explosives at the family. When sensing that he would soon lose, he opened his cape, revealed to be filled with explosives, cackling maniacally only to react in shock as he discovers that the explosives had activated, causing him to be caught in the explosions. For unknown reasons, Smithers in this game actually sounds much higher pitched than in the regular series (most of the other characters usually have more or less the same voices in the game).<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons Game ===<br /> In ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'', level &quot;{{ap|Lisa the Tree Hugger|The Simpsons Game}}&quot;, Smithers was involved in Mr. Burns' plan of trying to cut down the entirety of Springfield Forest, and is comforting him about doing better next time when the plan fails due to Lisa and Bart's interference, as well as phoning some goons to beat up Al Gore. In [[Mob Rules]], he appears as one of the people Marge can use to protest the sales of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' videogame to minors. In [[Medal of Homer]], a squad of sailors resembling Smithers protects Private Burns on board his personal naval carrier where he protects the stolen paintings from the village of St. Capitulons. According to Abraham Simpson during the briefing for the level, the sailors in question fight neither for country nor for God, solely for love. Ironically the sailor Smitherses are among the enemies sent by [[God]] in &quot;[[Game Over]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> ===Coca Cola Advert===<br /> He is briefly seen being bought by [[Patty]] and [[Selma]], then in the park butlering them.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===<br /> ==== Default ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Plant Workers|Smithers}}<br /> <br /> ==== Number 59 ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/More Stonecutters|Number59}}<br /> <br /> ==== Doggy Smithers ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Robots|DoggySmithers}}<br /> <br /> ==== Rollerskate Smithers ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Springfield Pride|RollerskateSmithers}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> === Character ===<br /> ==== Creation ====<br /> [[File:Waylon Smithers, Jr. (Homer's Odyssey).png|left|thumb|Smithers with black skin and blue hair, as seen in &quot;[[Homer's Odyssey]]&quot;]]<br /> Waylon Smithers was partly based on how numerous [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] executives and staff members acted towards Barry Diller.&lt;ref name=tvguide&gt;{{cite news|title=Flash! 24 Simpsons Stars Reveal Themselves|accessdate=2007-08-15|date=[[2000-10-21]]|publisher=TV Guide|author=Joe Rhodes}}&lt;/ref&gt; The idea for Smithers's orientation came from [[Sam Simon]], who proposed that Smithers should be gay, but the writers should never draw too much attention to it and should try to keep it in the back of their heads.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReissTTH&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;The Telltale Head&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; The script for &quot;[[Blood Feud]]&quot; originally featured Smithers saying &quot;Just leave me enough to get home to my wife and kids,&quot; but the line had to be cut for time.&lt;ref name=tvguide/&gt; Smithers is voiced by [[Harry Shearer]], who is also the voice of Mr. Burns.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.foxflash.com/div.php/main/page?aID=1z2z2z175z13z4&amp;bioid=1675|title=Harry Shearer|accessdate=2007-10-27|publisher=[[Fox Broadcasting Company]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; Shearer is often able to perform dialogue between the two characters in one take.&lt;ref name=&quot;JeanBF&quot;/&gt; [[Dan Castellaneta]] occasionally fills in for Shearer at table reads and voices Smithers.&lt;ref name=&quot;JeanBF&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Smithers made his first appearance in &quot;[[Homer's Odyssey]]&quot;, which was the third episode of the [[Season 1|first season]], although he can be heard over a speaker in ''The Simpsons'' series premiere &quot;[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;bbc&quot;&gt;[http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/episodeguide/season1/page1.shtml Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire] ''BBC.co.uk''.

Smithers is an obedient and sycophant assistant to Mr. Burns. There have often been strong hints about Smithers's true feelings for his boss, with one of the earliest references being in the season one episode &quot;[[The Telltale Head]]&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReissTTH&quot;/&gt; Smithers's sexual orientation has often come into question, with some fans claiming he is a &quot;Burns-sexual&quot; and only attracted to his boss, while others maintain that he is, without a doubt, gay. During the [[Bill Oakley]]/[[Josh Weinstein]] era, they still tried to keep his sexuality mysterious and there was debate among the writers about his orientation. [[Al Jean]], who thinks of Smithers as being a &quot;Burns-sexual&quot;,&lt;ref name=&quot;JeanBF&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;Blood Feud&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; felt that had Mr. Burns been a woman, then Smithers would not be gay.&lt;ref name=&quot;Oakley&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Oakley, Bill|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 7 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[David Silverman]], a former supervising director has said, &quot;[Smithers] seems to be focused on one particular human, as opposed to anything beyond that. [Rather than being gay], he's sort of 'Burns-sexual.'&quot; &quot;Waylon Smithers&quot; is actually an anagram of &quot;Wants him sorely&quot;. In a 2006 study conducted by the &quot;Gay &amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation&quot;, it was determined that nine of the 679 lead and supporting characters on scripted broadcast television were gay or lesbian. Smithers was not included among these nine characters, and it caused a mild online controversy. [[Patty Bouvier]], [[Marge Simpson]]'s lesbian sister, was included on the list.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.eonline.com/news//article/index.jsp?uuid=fd0da574-316b-4300-80a7-8662f9a096b2&amp;entry=index|title=&quot;Simpsons'&quot; Smithers Part of Shrinking Minority?|author=Finn, Natalie|accessdate=2006-08-22|date=2007-11-07|publisher=E! News}}&lt;/ref&gt; The debate is referenced in &quot;[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]&quot;, when the episode host, [[Troy McClure]] is answering viewer questions, and one that is asked is &quot;What is the real deal with Mr. Burns' assistant Smithers? You know what I'm talking about.&quot; A montage of various clips that shows Smithers' lust for Mr. Burns follows, and in the end, McClure says &quot;as you can see, the real deal with Waylon Smithers is that he's Mr. Burns' assistant. He's in his early forties, is unmarried, and currently resides in Springfield. Thanks for asking!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Several of the allusions to Smithers's sexuality have turned into battles with the censors. For example, in Smithers' fantasy of a naked Mr. Burns popping out of a birthday cake in &quot;[[Rosebud]]&quot;, the censors had not wanted Mr. Burns to be naked. Another example is &quot;[[Marge Gets a Job]]&quot;, which has a dream sequence where Smithers is sleeping and Burns flies through a window. The sequence shows Burns flying towards him and Smithers looking happy, but originally it went on for a few seconds longer. It had to be trimmed down due to scenes that showed &quot;Mr. Burns land[ing] on a particular position on Smithers's anatomy&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Oakley&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Oakley, Bill|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 7 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; There were also issues with &quot;the lump in his bed&quot;, which the animators had been drawn as his knee, but the censors had misinterpreted.&lt;ref name=&quot;Weinstein&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Weinstein, Josh|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 7 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In the early seasons, Smithers has an occasional catchphrase, which comes from a recurring joke that Mr. Burns never remembers who Homer is. In some scenes, Smithers and Burns would watch Homer over a security camera Burns will ask, &quot;Who is that man?&quot;, to which Smithers would reply, &quot;That's Homer Simpson sir, one of your [insert drones, organ banks, carbon blobs, etc.] from sector 7G.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Reception ===<br /> In the second season, the writers started to enjoy writing about Smithers and Burns's relationship, and the writers often pitched episodes with them as the focus, but many never came to fruition.&lt;ref name=&quot;VittiSaD&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Vitti, Jon|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;Simpson and Delilah&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 2004, Simpsons producers announced that one of the characters was going to come out of the closet.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,673179,00.html|title=I D'oh|author=Susman, Gary|accessdate=2007-10-25|date=[[2004-07-28]]|publisher=Entertainment Weekly}}&lt;/ref&gt; Speculation on who it would be was printed in newspapers throughout the United States and Canada (even claiming Smithers's &quot;sexual orientation was about the worst-kept secret in Springfield,&quot;)&lt;ref&gt;Rayner, Ben. &quot;We'll have a gay old time.&quot; The Toronto Star: February 20, 2005 Sunday, P.

She appeared to die, leaving the children unsupervised, but [[Dr. Hibbert]] later informed the Flanders family that she just barely survived. However, she was so weak that just hearing Ned's songs of praise was enough to actually kill her, according to Homer.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Kids Are All Fight&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's First Word|(flashback)}}<br /> *{{ep|The Kids Are All Fight|(flashback)}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Flanders family}}<br /> {{Deceased characters|flanders=yes}}<br /> {{Simpsons characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Flanders, Grandma}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Seniors]]<br /> [[Category:Characters voiced by Yeardley Smith]]<br /> [[Category:Recurring characters]]<br /> [[Category:Characters introduced in season 4]]</div>

He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Grampa Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> Almost all of Grampa's biographical information is supplied by himself. Many of his stories seem to be wildly inaccurate, often physically or historically impossible, and occasionally inconsistent even with each other, suggesting Abe is senile. (Though his reaction to [[Bart]]'s reaction to one of his stories implies he is aware he is being inconsistent.) As such, all information provided is taken with a grain of salt. He is a member of the [[Stonecutters]], masons, communists, as well as being president of the gay and lesbian party for some reason. Additionally, he suffers from sporadic narcoleptic attacks.<br /> <br /> === History ===<br /> [[File:Gorgeous Grampa artwork.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Abraham as &quot;Glamorous Godfrey&quot;]]<br /> ==== Childhood ====<br /> Abraham Jedediah Simpson, perennially known as &quot;Grampa&quot; Simpson, was born in the &quot;Old Country&quot;; he apparently does not remember which country exactly. Most likely it was Canada, as that is where his great-great-grandparents immigrated in 1860 to avoid being arrested for helping a slave ([[Virgil Simpson|his great-great-grandfather]], to be precise) escape. Abe claims, when he was a young boy, he immigrated to America with his parents, and moved into the Statue of Liberty. For a few years they lived here, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Much Apu About Nothing]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also says he served in the first World War and had to lie about his age, being around five at the time.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Special Edna]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He worked as a shoeshine boy at [[Springfield Union Station]], and claims a not-yet-famous [[Clark Gable]] was one of his customers, whom he gave his copy of ''Gone With the Wind''.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the army ====<br /> In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Abe was participating in the javelin event. His throw nearly hit [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]], watching in the stands. Luckily, (for Hitler) it missed and hit the man about to assassinate him. At a later date, Grampa claimed he and Hitler laughed about it.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;&gt;[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Simpson Flying Hellfish.png|thumb|left|200px|Abe fighting for the Flying Hellfish.]]<br /> <br /> Abe's recollections of his [[World War II]] experiences are sometimes implausible. Abe was not initially keen to fight in Europe. After the United States declared war, he supposedly tried to avoid service by dressing in drag and playing for [[Springfield Floozies|a women's baseball team]] in 1942, which kept him from serving for a year before he was eventually discovered.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Later on, he and his unit served in {{w|The Battle of the Bulge}}, where he nearly succeeded in assassinating Hitler (though Montgomery Burns thwarted it at the last moment). Almost a year later, they invade an abandoned castle owned by the Nazis and flushed the Nazis out, though Montgomery tries to remove some paintings. Although he opposed the decision, and was morally against the idea, he ended up deciding to let Burns do it, though only so he might have a nest-egg after retirement. After &quot;liberating&quot; a stash of priceless art from the Nazis, Abe's unit (the [[Flying Hellfish]]) formed a tontine, and buried the art in a trunk at sea. Decades later, [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] tried to murder Abe in order to get the art, prompting Abe to violate the tontine. When Abe and Bart retrieve the art from Burns after a spectacular confrontation, the State Department arrives to give the art to their &quot;rightful&quot; owner, [[Baron von Wörtzenburger]], a snooty young German aristocrat (this part implies this did actually happen).<br /> <br /> Abe fathered an illegitimate daughter in the [[United Kingdom]] the day before he joined the D-Day operations in {{w|Normandy}}. Years later, Abe and his family met his daughter, lending further credence to the idea he served in Europe. Moreover, he once showed Bart and Lisa an album with photos of Germans killed by his platoon. He was also awarded the Iron Cross for accidentally directing U.S. jeeps into Nazi minefields. Another piece of information to support this idea is the fact he visited [[Simpson &amp; Son Pub|O'Flanagan's Pub]]in Ireland a long time ago in his WWII sergeant's uniform.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe once dressed as a woman dancer in disguise and made sexual motions toward Adolf Hitler, but when he leaned in, one of the fruits in his bra fell on the stage and Adolf Hitler gagged.<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the navy ====<br /> Abe also claims to have served in the Navy during World War II. He served as a pilot on an aircraft carrier with his brother, Cyrus, and Montgomery Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpsons Christmas Stories]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also served on a destroyer called the USS ''World War One'' during World War II. The USS World War One was sunk by a heat seeking torpedo they fired the other day. After the ship sunk, Abe and his fellow sailors rode on the back of sharks to avoid being eaten by them and had them swim in formation to spell a rescue message. It is also implied they tamed and befriended the sharks in question as a result.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Abraham also says he served on PT boat 109, where he heard John F. Kennedy speaking in German (&quot;Ich bin ein Berliner&quot;). Abe proclaimed Kenendy was a Nazi and he and the fellow sailors tackled Kennedy.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson Tide]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He boasts of having been a watchman at Pearl Harbor (falling asleep on duty), and claims President {{w|Grover Cleveland}} spanked him on two nonconsecutive occasions.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Two Bad Neighbors]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Also, in 1947, he met future Itchy creator and bum [[Chester J. Lampwick]], and he offered him a plate of corn muffins under the condition Lampwick paint his chicken coop. However, he never did, resulting in Abe carrying a grudge against him for many years. Lampwick later revealed this was because the corn muffins were &quot;lousy.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Day the Violence Died]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life in the air force====<br /> [[File:Mona1950s.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Abe and Mona in the 1950s.]]<br /> In the 1950s, Abe joined the air force. Here, he met his future wife, Mona, a cocktail waitress at the main diner near the base, where she was known as Sunny. Abe fell in love with Mona, but wasn't brave enough to attract her attention, so he stopped his regular maintenance job and took a supersonic flight that nearly killed him, but won Mona over.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Let's Go Fly a Coot]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Fatherhood ====<br /> [[File:Abe mona.png|left|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona's wedding day]]<br /> Afterwards, he went to the carnival, and encountered a prostitute, thus resulting in the procreation of his illegitimate son, Herb Powell. He married Mona and, after having a bit of his tonic with her, they made love and accidentally procreated Homer Simpson. Mona, shortly after Homer's birth, made Abe swear not to tell Homer he has a half brother. He continued to use the Simpson farm until the bank foreclosed the farm due to the cows producing sour milk, theorizing something must have spooked them good. (Unknown to Abe, the reason why the cows were spooked was Homer traumatized them by running around and yelling at them.) When Homer aspired to become President of the United States (more specifically President Kennedy), Abe beat Homer down for thinking Homer even had a chance of becoming President.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; After moving from the farm, they settled in an apartment, and watched the third Super Bowl, which indirectly made him responsible for his wife becoming a hippie. He was dragged to [[Wikipedia:Woodstock Festival|Woodstock]], and after scolding Homer for emulating the hippie lifestyle, attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War. After Mona was forced to run away from home after destroying Mr. Burns's Germ Warfare Lab, he lied to Homer by claiming Mona died when he was at the movies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Mother Simpson]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He started work at [[Spiro's]] and wrote songs. [[Rita LaFleur]] heard his songs, liked them, she starting singing his songs, and they married. When Rita was going to go on a tour of Europe, Abe stayed in the U.S. to raise Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Gone Abie Gone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Rise to fame ====<br /> The whole family went on a visit to Wet 'N' Wacky World. When the rest of the family were watching [[Slimu]], Grampa stayed on a shark bench and recalled how he once rode a shark. Then a newspaper columnist named [[Marshall Goldman]] turned up, and was interested in his stories. Soon the whole of [[Springfield]] was reading them. Despite being offered a chance for [[Mitch Albom]] to write about him, Grampa sticks with Marshall, constantly with him writing what he says. Homer comes to visit his father, but Abe rejects him. While Homer is submitting a column to the shopper about [[Mr. Burns]] (who Homer uses as an adoptive father to get back at Abe), he sneaks into Marshall's office, and finds out Marshall is planning to kill Abe at precisely 3pm on the Tinseltown Starliner, and even has the article and award application ready. Meanwhile at Springfield Union Station, Abe is aboard the train with Marshall, and despite Homer's many attempts to warn him, Abe has no idea because of hearing problems. When he is sleeping, Marshall is just about to suffocate him when Homer jumps aboard and stops him, not expecting Marshall to pull out a knife, and retrieve a gun form the pillow. They both wrestle for control of the gun when Abe gets up and hits Marshall on the head with a bottle, but this has no effect. When putting his hands up to surrender, he grabs the trains emergency brake lever, which sends Marshall flying back and causes him to be crushed by luggage. Both Homer and Grampa embrace, and the family is back together. In the end Abe decides to let Homer tell the story of how he saved Homer's life (his first ramble) and Homer ends up talking about Godzilla and The Rolling Stones.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursday's With Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe also showed he is good at sporting activities even though he is old, winning the Senior Olympics.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life today ====<br /> [[File:Abefolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Grampa's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]<br /> Due to his apparent senility, Abe is often ignored by Homer and other family members, and is alternatively content with this, resentful of this, or completely unaware of his being ignored. Abe is very friendly with Jasper and the Jewish Old Man. Like Hans Moleman, Abe often appears in recurring gags. He is also very unlucky and forgetful at times sometimes forgetting where he lives or where his son lives. Abe also had a number of affairs, most notably with [[Beatrice Simmons]], who died and left Abe an inheritance of $106,000. He also had an affair with [[Jackie Bouvier]] [Marge's mother], who broke up with him after she was wooed by Mr. Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He was also briefly married to Marge's sister Selma.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Rome-Old and Juli-Eh]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe also acted as a good father to Homer at times and also acted as a good grandfather to Bart and Lisa. However, he does not like cheekiness from Homer, Bart, or Lisa. He also demands to be treated right and he reckons he is just as important as the others.<br /> <br /> ==== Occupations ====<br /> For forty years, Abe worked as a security guard at a cranberry silo.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Front]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Within his elderly years, he was a Wal-Mart greeter, a cartoon writer, and a traveling salesman of an aphrodisiac.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> ==== Homer ====<br /> Abe was not a particularly caring father to Homer, as evidenced at one point when he tells his son, ''&quot;Homer, you're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!&quot;'' Homer does not normally appear to resent these casual abuses, though in one episode Abe calls Homer an accident, years of pent up anger on Homer's part leads to a temporary estrangement. Homer also takes every opportunity to ignore or reject his father, whom he placed in a dilapidated retirement home. Abe held a variety of postwar jobs, including a farmer in Homer's early childhood until the bank foreclosed. Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked 1950s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family. Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a [[Springfield Retirement Castle|retirement home]] some three weeks later. Abe was also angered about Homer's role in ensuring the [[Trappuccino]] incident, yelling &quot;I'm part of the mob!&quot; when Homer inquired on his safety.<br /> <br /> ==== Other family ====<br /> Abraham Simpson is the estranged husband to [[Mona Simpson]], father to [[Homer Simpson]], father-in-law to [[Marge Simpson]] and grandfather to siblings [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]. He also fathered two illegitimate children; a daughter named [[Abbie]] by a British lady named [[Edwina]] while in England during World War II and [[Herbert Powell]] with a carnival hooker. He was briefly married to [[Amber Simpson|Amber]], the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge. Also in [[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]], the family tree shows his parents' names to be [[Orville Simpson]] and [[Yuma Hickman]]. Abe's brother [[Cyrus Simpson|Cyrus]] lives in Tahiti with multiple wives.<br /> <br /> ==== Mona ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Mona present.PNG|right|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona are reunited during Mona's return to Springfield.]]<br /> He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching {{w|Joe Namath}} on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab owned by Montgomery Burns. Abe had no interest in this, instead focusing on the TV. Abe tells a six-year-old Homer Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe would point out her supposed grave (which actually belonged to [[Walt Whitman]]) every time the family drove past it. However, after Homer went to the Springfield Hall of Records to prove he was still alive (after faking his death in order to avoid having work on Saturday), he learnt from the record that his mother was still alive. <br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> [[File:Springfield Retirement Castle.png|left|200px|thumb|The Springfield Retirement Castle, Abe's home.]]<br /> Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]]; a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people (a sign near the entrance says &quot;Thank you for not discussing the outside world&quot;). Abe also informs Lisa residents are not allowed to read newspapers because &quot;they angry up the blood&quot;. His closest friend appears to be [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]], a fellow Retirement Castle resident.<br /> <br /> He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint on his old-fashioned typewriter. He once wrote to the President, complaining there were too many states, and requesting they get rid of three of them (simultaneously insisting he was &quot;not a crackpot&quot;). He also wrote to &quot;the sickos at ''Modern Bride Magazine''&quot; about his disgust at not seeing &quot;one wrinkled face&quot; or &quot;a single toothless grin&quot; in the publication. He also owns a 49-star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of [[Missouri]]: ''&quot;I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura.&quot;''<br /> <br /> He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: &quot;The {{w|metric system}} is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.&quot; Like many of his fellow Retirement Castle residents, Abe is a devoted follower of ''[[Matlock]]''. He even supports tearing down the Simpsons' house in order to complete construction of the proposed &quot;Matlock Expressway&quot;. He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: &quot;I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. It's probably that evil [[wikipedia:Gavin MacLeod|Gavin MacLeod]] or [[wikipedia:George Lindsey|George 'Goober' Lindsey]].&quot; During a ''Matlock'' public appearance, Abe and [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]] swipe Matlock's pills, needed to prevent him from having a spastic heart failure. Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but decided it was alright because &quot;we did have two shows with [[wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]].&quot; He joins the mob when it was revealed Homer contaminated Lake Springfield and barely refrained from killing Marge, Lisa and Bart with a shotgun.<br /> <br /> Grampa also had a habit of telling stories about his past though a lot of the time these stories didn't really happen. Presumably his senility caused him to think he really did have these experiences; alternatively he could have simply been lying about them. However at least one of his stories was true; the one about the Flying Hellfish.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> In [[Treehouse of Horror IV]], in the section Bart Simpson's Dracula, The Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. The Simpsons are eating dinner and Lisa finds out her whole family are vampires, including Grandpa, who pretends to be the head vampire when in reality Marge is. Lisa mistakingly killed Burns but she should've killed Marge. The Simpsons say Happy Halloween while going through a Charlie Brown Christmas Special ending parody.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons Game ===<br /> He first appears in the level [[Mob Rules]] as one of the people Marge can bring into her mob to protest the sale of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' video game to minors. His younger self appears in [[Medal of Homer]] to give Bart and Homer orders as for what to do in each of its three missions.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===<br /> ==== Default ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Simpsons|Grampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Gorgeous Grampa ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Costumes|GorgeousGrampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Number 111 ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Stonecutters|Number111}}<br /> <br /> ==== Toreador Grampa ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Sporty Oldies|ToreadorGrampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Hellfish Abe ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Costumes|HellfishAbe}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> === Creation ===<br /> Groening famously named the five main Simpson characters after members of his own family: his parents, Homer and Marge (or Marjorie in full), and his younger sisters, Lisa and Margaret (Maggie).

He is a genuinely well-meaning good-natured person and is one of the few in [[Springfield]] to whom that description applies. Though firmly religious, he can be timid and something of a pushover. He thoroughly worships [[God]] and strictly follows the Bible as literally as possible and is easily shocked when challenged on any point of dogma. He also owns the Leftorium and a home business, [[FlanCrest Enterprises]], which makes religious hook rugs. He also works as a member of the Springfield Volunteer Fire Department. [[Homer]] often dislikes Flanders for his ways of doing things and his success.<br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Ned Flanders Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> [[File:Flanders with Parents.png|thumb|Ned as a boy with his parents]]<br /> <br /> Flanders grew up in New York and was the son of &quot;freaky beatniks&quot; who did not discipline Ned and let him run wild. Eventually they took him to [[Dr. Foster]], a psychiatrist, who put the young Ned through the University of Minnesota Spankalogical Protocol, which involved eight months of continuous spanking. The treatment worked so well that it rendered Flanders unable to express any anger at all and resulted in his trademark nonsensical jabbering at moments when he was particularly close to losing his temper, causing Ned to unknowingly repress his anger. Flanders got his diploma from Oral Roberts University. Flanders worked as a salesman in the pharmaceuticals industry for the bulk of his adult life. Having saved much of his earnings, Flanders decided to quit his job and invested his family's life savings into a store in the Springfield mall called &quot;[[The Leftorium]]&quot; specializing in products for left-handed people. He is 60 years old and attributes his youthful appearance to his conformity to the &quot;clean living, chewing thoroughly, and a daily dose of vitamin church.&quot; He lives at 744 Evergreen Terrace.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> [[File:Young Ned Spanked.png|thumb|left|Ned being spanked as part of his treatment]]<br /> Ned is very honest and sincere in carrying out the Christian doctrines of charity, kindness and compassion to an extent unseen within the rest of the Springfield community. He is frequently shown doing volunteer work, and is rigorously honest and upright, even going so far as to spend an entire day tracking down a Leftorium customer in order to give him the extra change that he had forgotten to hand over. He once donated a kidney and a lung out of the goodness of his heart to whoever needs them first.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He is also a good neighbor to the Simpsons, regularly offering his assistance. Ned's dogged friendship inspires the loyalty of others; when his Leftorium appeared on the verge of bankruptcy shortly after it opened, Homer arranged a George Bailey-esque bailout with the help of many people in Springfield. However, he also embodies many of the intolerant aspects of the American religious right. He has shown occasional antipathy and even outright mockery towards Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and competing Christian denominations like homophobia, as he participated in &quot;the walk for the cure for homosexuality&quot;; and trying to stop same sex marriages from happening in Springfield; also, upon discovering that [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] Simpson were not baptised he immediately took it upon himself to (unsuccessfully) conduct the ceremony without their consent. In more recent episodes he seems to have gained more tolerance to other religions and homosexuality, as long as the people in question are good-natured. However, he still thinks that they will have a harder time getting to heaven.<br /> <br /> [[File:744 Evergreen Terrace.png|250px|thumb|Ned's house on Evergreen Terrace.]]<br /> <br /> Flanders is a widower, having been married to the equally religious [[Maude Flanders|Maude]]. They had two children together; the sheltered and naive [[Rod]] and [[Todd]]. Maude dies an untimely death in a freak accident involving a t-shirt cannon, leaving Ned alone and grieving. While still married to Maude, Ned married [[Ginger Flanders|Ginger]], a waitress, while on a drunken bender in Las Vegas. Ginger came to live with Ned and his sons for a brief period following Maude's death, but she quickly grew tired of the Flanders' sickly-sweet personalities and fled. Flanders has also been connected romantically with a beautiful Christian-rock singer, [[Rachel Jordan]], and [[Sara Sloane]], a movie star. He also makes absolute certain every year to pay and file his tax returns at the start of the new year, especially when considering how the vast majority of Springfield usually waited until April 15 to file their tax returns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Trouble With Trillions]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Homer]] generally loathes Ned, because his family, job, health and self-discipline are of higher quality than he could ever hope to attain himself. Homer has since come to have a love-hate relationship with Flanders, sometimes being his best friend, partly due to Ned's selfless tolerance of him, and other times treating Flanders with complete disregard. Homer seems to genuinely care for Ned, despite still expressing and often acting on feelings of loathing. Nowadays Homer seems to regard Ned as more of a nuisance. Sometimes, Marge considers Flanders to be a perfect neighbor and usually sides with him instead of her husband, which always enrages Homer.<br /> <br /> Flanders has been shown to call [[Reverend Lovejoy]] for advice often, even over minuscule things, to the point that Lovejoy has stopped caring and has even suggested that Flanders try a different religion. Reverend Lovejoy used to care for Flander's problems, but over the years Lovejoy became increasingly uninterested in Flanders' problems.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[In Marge We Trust]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Flanders is shown to have a room in his house filled with memorabilia of the Beatles. He claims that this is because they were &quot;bigger than Jesus&quot;. He also even owns a small home business called Flancrest Enterprises.<br /> Ned is a genuinely well-meaning and good-natured person. He is often insecure and is obsessed with following the Bible as literally as possible and is easily shocked when challenged on any point of dogma. This has led to his frequent calls to Reverend Lovejoy (&quot;I... I think I'm coveting my own wife!&quot;), who has become increasingly frustrated with Flanders and passive-aggressively avenges himself by encouraging his Olde English Sheepdog to defecate on Ned's lawn. Ned is also against drugs. When Ned, Homer and [[Apu]] go on road trip to [[Canada]] for cheap prescription drugs, they meet [[Canadian Flanders|someone who looks and acts just like Ned]], but then this guy offers Ned marijuana (&quot;Hey, would you like to puff on a reeferino? It's legal here.&quot;) but he promptly turns down (&quot;They warned me Satan would be attractive. Let's go&quot;).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Midnight Rx]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He did, however, briefly smoke a cigarette when playing the role of Mad Dog during his fire safety skit with some disgust.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Brother's Little Helper]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also once suffered hallucinogenic experiences of the Dancing Bears and Skeletons of the Grateful Dead crossing the road, as well as witnessing an entity resembling a fusion between the hammers from Pink Floyd's The Wall and the Rolling Stones' lips &amp; tongue attempting to kiss him after drinking groovy grove juice that, unbeknownst to him, was spiked with Peyote thanks to Homer Simpson.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[D'oh-in' in the Wind]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> His sons Rod and Todd are very sheltered and raised in an extremely strict climate of Christian morality, causing them to be unable to behave like all the other children in Springfield (&quot;They're going to be eaten alive, in Middle School&quot; Lisa once observed). For instance, the family has at least five different Trivial Pursuit sets relating to different versions of the Bible. &quot;He is a real Christian. He stinks!&quot; said Homer. Also, all of the family's board games contain no dice, as Ned believes that dice are &quot;wicked&quot;. Rod says that they just move one space at a time, as it is &quot;less fun that way&quot;. His pet peeve is Maude underlining passages in his Bible.<br /> <br /> === Appearances ===<br /> [[File:Cyrus Manly.png|left|thumb|How Flanders was once pictured by Marge when she was writing a book]]<br /> Despite a meek outward appearance, Ned hides an exceptionally well-built physique under his pink shirt and green sweater combination. When he is revealed to be in his early 60s, Ned claims his deceptively youthful appearance is due to his conformity to the &quot;three Cs&quot; - &quot;clean living, chewing thoroughly, and a daily dose of vitamin Church&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Viva Ned Flanders]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Both Ned and his family rarely refer to his moustache as such, preferring nicknames such as &quot;Nose Neighbour,&quot; &quot;Mr. Tickles,&quot; &quot;The Soup Strainer,&quot; &quot;The Cookie Duster,&quot; &quot;The Pushbroom,&quot; and &quot;Dr. Fuzzenstein.&quot; He once shaved it off, after Homer implied that people were mocking Ned's facial hair behind his back. He also once had it pulled off with a vacuum cleaner by Maude after Homer, who was thought to have leprosy, kissed Ned in gratitude for sending them to be treated. Ned's moustache would also affect his decision to move to the town of [[Humbleton]], PA. After being hired at the town's Humble figurine manufacturing factory,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Home Away from Homer]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Ned was ordered to shave his moustache, due to an unofficial ban on facial hair. Ned defiantly refused to shave his moustache for which he was labelled a troublemaker.<br /> <br /> === Religion ===<br /> Flanders is a devout Christian. Ned's sons have been raised in a strict climate of Christian morality, to which they willingly conform. It is revealed that they &quot;{{W|vaccine controversy|don't believe in inoculations}}&quot;,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Computer Wore Menace Shoes]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; much as their father considers insurance to be a &quot;form of gambling&quot; and dice games to be &quot;wicked&quot;. Rod and Todd go to bed several hours before sunset and are not allowed to consume sugar. However, he is shown serving Rod, Todd and Bart hot chocolate.<br /> <br /> Most of the entertainment enjoyed by the family involves religion in some way. The family uses at least five different versions of the Bible to play &quot;Bombardment...of Bible Questions!&quot; (&quot;The bridal feast of Beth Chadruharazzeb!?&quot;), and are part of a competitive bowling team called the ''Holy Rollers'' (their uniform consisting of a Franciscan Friar's robes). Ned seems to sense that he cannot completely shield his family from the vagaries of popular culture, but does his best to mitigate the effects; one of his children's stories concludes &quot;...and Harry Potter and all his wizard friends went straight to Hell for practising witchcraft.&quot; Though they have satellite TV, nearly all of the 230 channels are blocked out — likely for the best, as one episode of [[Itchy &amp; Scratchy]] was enough to more or less permanently scar Rod and Todd. Rod used to watch &quot;Davey and Goliath&quot;, but finding the idea of talking dogs to be blasphemous, he has since stopped.<br /> <br /> Ned is willing to fight for what he believes in. For example, he once attempted to forcibly baptise the Simpson children, using his portable baptism' kit, after finding out that they had never undergone the ritual. Ned once reminded himself to get his hand &quot;re-blessed&quot; after shaking a Catholic priest's hand (odd, considering he keeps a Latin Vulgate Bible in his home).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Despite occasional antipathy toward Catholicism, Judaism and [[Hindu]]ism (he once compared worshipping Shiva to asking for help from Hawkman, and he fears that his children will grow up to become Jewish Hollywood producers), Ned is honest and sincere in carrying out the Christian doctrines of charity, kindness and compassion. He even admits (after a hurricane destroyed his home) that he has kept kosher just in case. He is frequently shown doing volunteer work, and is rigorously honest and upright, even going so far as to spend an entire day tracking down a Leftorium customer in order to give him the extra change that he had forgotten to hand over (à la Abraham Lincoln). Similarly, after winning football tickets by answering a radio trivia question, he immediately asked for the cash value so he could report it on his income taxes. He also is a good neighbor to the Simpsons, regularly offering his assistance — and then suffering the consequences often paid to those with good intentions.<br /> [[File:Flanders Family.png|thumb|Ned, Maude, Rod and Todd]]<br /> <br /> === Family ===<br /> The Flanders Clan has members around the globe, who convened at the Flanders Family Reunion bible bashing BBQ. Relatives included Mexican [[Jose Flanders]] (&quot;Buenos ding-dong-diddliy días, señor&quot;) and English [[Lord Thistlewick Flanders]] (&quot;Charmed... ''[he is prompted by Ned]'' ...a-googily-doogily&quot;).<br /> There was a relative of Flanders who served in World War II. He was a superior to Sgt. [[Abe Simpson]]. [[Abe]] called him Commander Flanders when yelling at Burns for stealing paintings.<br /> <br /> Flanders is believed to have 3 younger sisters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Burns, Baby Burns]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Das Bus]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Ned and family planned on moving in with one of them who lived in [[Capital City]] after the loss of their home and business in Springfield.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[When Flanders Failed]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He might also have a possible Gay brother or stepbrother.<br /> <br /> === Speech patterns ===<br /> Ned has the odd habit of attaching &quot;diddily,&quot; &quot;doodily&quot; and other nonsensical phrases to his sentences. &quot;Hi-diddily-ho, neighborino,&quot; is a common example.&lt;ref&gt;It reflects the greeting of the Gordon Hathaway recurring character on the Steve Allen Show, with his arch &quot;Hi-ho, Steverino!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; This is the result of sublimated anger caused by his upbringing, anger which has no other outlet. This trait is, strangely, demonstrated by his relatives from around the world. However, one of his relatives; Lord Thistlewick Flanders, does not have this trait other than when pressured by Ned Flanders, which may imply that his relatives might just attach the trait when with Flanders. He also has the habit of saying &quot;Okally-Dokally&quot;, when replying to someone - meaning OK. He might also occasionally add a &quot;doo&quot; on the end, for example... &quot;Okilly dokilly-doo&quot;. This is more often than not repeated, when Homer tells him to &quot;Shut up&quot; or &quot;Get lost and we don't need your help&quot;.<br /> <br /> His extreme prudishness makes him averse to saying &quot;sex&quot; aloud, even when there are no children in sight — he either spells it out or sheepishly calls it &quot;doodily&quot;. Ned also uses the word &quot;doodle&quot;, &quot;Flander-doodle&quot; or &quot;shrinky-dink&quot; when referring to his penis (ironically, he actually shouts &quot;penis&quot; while praying with his kids before eating at [[Krusty Burger]] after Bart lands on a window naked in front of him&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''&lt;/ref&gt;). He wears a bathing suit in the shower or when he takes a bath. He also uses annotated words, when referring to words that could slightly have a bad, injury related, or slightly offensive meaning. An example is when Bart and Homer are on the roof, and Bart is dangling from the guttering. He says the word &quot;parapleig-orino&quot; referring to parapleigic. (A person paralysed from the waist down). Nevertheless Bart and Homer both reply &quot;Shutup Flanders...&quot; His speech pattern once got him into trouble with [[Rex Banner]] because the latter thought he was drunk during a time when prohibition was revived.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Leftorium 2.png|thumb|right|The Leftorium]]<br /> <br /> === Career ===<br /> ==== The Leftorium ====<br /> Ned worked as a salesperson in the pharmaceuticals industry for the bulk of his adult life. Having saved much of his earnings, Flanders announced during a barbecue he was throwing for his family and friends that he had quit his job and planned to invest the family's life savings into a new business. After burning his necktie, he proclaimed his intent to open a store in the [[Springfield Mall]] called ''The Leftorium'' specializing in products for left-handed people: everything from left-handed can openers to an entirely left-handed car, of which only three were ever made. Many of the Leftorium's products are merely labeled as &quot;left-handed,&quot; such as pens and nunchucks. He does not sell, however, left-handed eyelash curlers.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[When Flanders Failed]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The Leftorium faces stiff competition from ''[[Leftopolis]]'' and ''[[Left-Mart]]''. However an unusually large proportion of Springfield's citizens are left-handed, including [[Bart Simpson]], [[Marge Simpson]], [[Principal Skinner]], [[Mr. Burns]], and [[Moe Szyslak]]. Most cities probably wouldn't have a much left-handed people as Springfield does.<br /> <br /> Note: If there's most left-handed people than right-handed people in Springfield, it would be ''very ''unusual, as cities usually have more right-handed people than left-handed people.<br /> <br /> ==== Other jobs ====<br /> Ned began an internet company called ''Flancrest Enterprises'' (which deals in religious hook-rugs) and founded a Bible-themed amusement park called ''[[Praiseland]]'', in honor of his late wife (that he would go to such lengths to fulfill her last wish is unsurprising, as Ned had previously exerted himself a great deal in order to avoid disappointing Maude — after accidentally killing Maude's prized ficus plant, he attempted to bury and secretly replace it rather than explain the situation). Ned also spent a stint as principal of Springfield Elementary School, replacing [[Seymour Skinner]] (Armin Tamzarian).<br /> <br /> He, along with his late wife, also worked as a member of the Springfield Volunteer Fire Department, once saving Homer from his burning house.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Heretic]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Because of his membership status, he also participates in Fire Safety Day at Springfield Elementary School, once doing an act trying to display the dangers of not taking care of Fire Safety where he acted completely different from himself for the role. He portrayed a pot-smoking, chain smoking, hog-riding hippie partygoer named MadDog whom, after arriving back home with his girlfriend (played by Maude Flanders), who is also a pot-smoking hippie partygoer, they smoked a cigarette to &quot;make the night complete.&quot; His girlfriend suggests that they get another smoke alarm in case their current one &quot;tricks out on them&quot; but MadDog refused as one was good enough for him before telling her that they should &quot;hit the sack.&quot; While sleeping, MadDog accidentally drops his cigarette on his pants thus burning them. His girlfriend tries to warn him to stop drop and roll, but he ignores it as he felt it was for clydes and that &quot;a little fire won't hurt him.&quot; The performance turned out awry because Ned Flanders was forced to break character due to the fire spreading fast, and the usual method of stop drop and roll was not successful at all in putting out the fire, and had it not been for Bart Simpson's latest hijyx involving a hose and the gymnasium, he would have been burned alive.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> Ned's dogged friendship inspires the loyalty of others; when his Leftorium appeared on the verge of bankruptcy shortly after it opened, Homer arranged a Frank Capra-esque scene akin to [[George Bailey]] by advertising the Leftorium to many left-handed people in Springfield.<br /> <br /> ==== Romantic relationships ====<br /> [[File:Ned sara sloane.png|thumb|Ned and Sara on their first date]]<br /> At some point before or after college, Ned met and married the equally meek and religious Maude. They had two children together; the sheltered and naïve Rod and Todd. Maude dies an untimely death in a freak accident involving t-shirt cannons,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Alone Again, Natura-Diddily]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; leaving Ned alone and grieving. He is technically still married to a woman named [[Ginger]], whom he married on a drunken bender in Las Vegas.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Viva Ned Flanders]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Ginger comes to live with Ned and his sons for a brief period following Maude's death,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Brawl in the Family]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; but she quickly grows tired of the Flanders' sickly-sweet personalities and flees. Also since Maude's death, Ned has been connected romantically with a beautiful Christian-rock singer, Rachel Jordan, and a movie star, Sara Sloane with whom he had a sexual relationship, despite his own &quot;no sex before marriage&quot; beliefs. Ned and Marge had once almost kiss twice, since Homer spent too much time as [[Carl]]'s assistant and Ned felt alone. Marge had hit Ned with a hammer, so she invited him to dinner. While helping [[Marge]] with the food they were going to kiss, but the oven rang, later, while eating cream strawberries, they almost kiss again, but Marge remembers Homer so they just hug before Homer arrives.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Devil Wears Nada]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He is currently in a relationship with [[Edna Krabappel]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Ned-liest Catch]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; They had a small difference in opinion, but soon eventually sorted it out,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Falcon and the D'ohman]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; ending with Edna moving in with Ned. Edna is now married to Ned.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Ned 'N' Edna's Blend]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> Edna's voice actor died at the age of seventy due to cancer so Edna will no longer be on the show. Tribute was paid to Marcia Wallace,voice of Edna, at the end of &quot;The Man Who Grew Too Much&quot; where Ned and Edna would dance for the very last time<br /> <br /> ==== Friendship/One-sided conflict with Homer Simpson ====<br /> Flanders personality makes him think of Homer as good and friendly, but Homer actually hates Flanders. The first three seasons focused on how Ned was {{W|prosperity theology|doing well financially since he was a devout Christian}}, and Homer was angry with that on account of the Simpsons being a struggling family. That issue was largely resolved in [[When Flanders Failed]]. Homer tells Ned to &quot;shut his stupid face&quot; on a regular basis, and has even prayed for his ruin and death — &quot;I've learned that life is one crushing defeat after another, until you just wish Flanders was dead.&quot; Ironically, at one time, Homer becomes Flanders' best friend, but becomes so annoying that Flanders starts to hate him, but eventually things go back to the way they were.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer Loves Flanders]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Homer and Ned's relationship has been good on occasions, in which Homer seems to genuinely care for Ned, despite still expressing (and often acting on) feelings of loathing. Examples of this include Homer comforting Ned following Maude's death (seconds after preparing to bash Ned's head in with a rock) largely due to Marge's insistence that the Simpson family must now be supportive of the Flanders family in wake of the tragic loss of Maude, and helping Ned build Praiseland Amusement Park. Despite their friendship, Homer wrote the song &quot;[[Everybody Hates Ned Flanders]]&quot;, and even sang and produced it with David Byrnes. When Ned was embarrassed in front of the entire community after two young women who rented his house were found to be using it to film a racy website (for which Homer helped spread), Ned moves away in shame. Homer genuinely misses Ned's absence, especially when a gruff, unneighborly man buys the house, and is overjoyed when Ned returns to Springfield. Homer and Ned became friends when they got a job as bounty hunters.<br /> <br /> ==== Friendship with Bart Simpson ====<br /> When Bart becomes a camper, he would seem to have taken a liking to his head camper Ned Flanders. This is shown by Bart talking in Flanders normal diddly-doodily fashion. However, Ned reassures Bart that Homer is his true father, and that Bart must be a receptive son in order to help Homer be a concerned father during [[Trappuccino|Springfield's darkest hour]].<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> [[File:Homer with Devil Flanders.png|thumb|Flanders as the devil in &quot;Treehouse of Horror IV&quot;, portrayed as such due to being &quot;the one you least suspect&quot;.]]<br /> === Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> In the [[Treehouse of Horror IV]] segment &quot;The Devil and Homer Simpson&quot;, Flanders appeared as the devil in front of Homer Simpson (quoted by Flanders, &quot;It's always the one you least expect!&quot;) and when he comes to claim Homer's soul, he and Bart exchange casual greetings. He acts as the &quot;unquestioned Lord and Master of the world&quot; (in a parallel universe) in a segment in [[Treehouse of Horror V]], in which he instituted Orwellian &quot;Re-Neducation&quot; facilities for those with impure thoughts culminating in frontal lobotomies. In other Halloween episodes he proclaimed his preference for &quot;wanton carnality&quot; as an early Pilgrim immigrant to the New World, only to be vetoed by Maude; been transformed into a werewolf; been murdered by Homer Simpson (who used the rise of a zombie horde as an excuse for killing him) (Homer Simpson: &quot;He was a zombie?&quot;— Homer didn't care if Ned was actually zombie or not), a clone of Homer Simpson, and an evil bus-gremlin whom he attempted to adopt.<br /> <br /> === Future ===<br /> In &quot;[[Bart to the Future]]&quot;, Bart sees his own future. Ned is seen blind, revealing he received laser eye surgery, which was great at the beginning, but after the 10-year-point, your eyes fall out.<br /> [[File:Flanders Werewolf.png|thumb|right|Ned as a werewolf in Treehouse of Horror X]]<br /> <br /> === Video Games ===<br /> ==== The Simpsons Road Rage ====<br /> In ''[[The Simpsons Road Rage]]'' Ned Flanders is a driver that you can unlock. While not being played, he is a passenger.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons Game ====<br /> In [[The Simpsons Game]], Ned is carjacked by [[Martin Prince, Jr.]] in the level &quot;[[Mob Rules]]&quot;, so he joins Marge's mob to stop the game ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' to be sold to kids.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ====<br /> {{Main|Ned Flanders/Tapped Out}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> [[File:Flanders' book of Faith.png|thumb|right|One of the many Flanders merchandise, Flander's Book of Faith]]<br /> === Creation ===<br /> The writers found Harry Shearer's voice for Flanders so sweet that they decided to make the character a Christian.<br /> <br /> Ned Flanders, who was designed by Rich Moore, first appeared in the season one episode &quot;Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire&quot;. The episode was the series premiere, but not the first episode produced. The first episode in which Flanders and his family were prominent is season two's &quot;Dead Putting Society&quot;, which also contained the first appearance of Maude and Rod Flanders. Flanders was named after Flanders St. in Portland, Oregon, the hometown of Simpsons creator Matt Groening. Groening described the inspiration for Flanders as &quot;just a guy who was truly nice, that Homer had no justifiable reason to loathe, but then did&quot;. It was not until after the first few episodes that it was decided Flanders would be a faithful Christian. Mike Scully noted that Flanders is &quot;everything Homer would love to be, although he'll never admit it&quot;. Flanders had been meant to be just a neighbor that Homer was jealous of, but Harry Shearer used &quot;such a sweet voice&quot; and Flanders was broadened to become a Christian and a sweet guy that someone would prefer to live next to over Homer. Flanders is known for his nonsensical jabbering, and his first use of the word &quot;didly&quot; was in &quot;The Call of the Simpsons&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> Ned Flanders was not religious in his first few appearances and in the first few seasons he was only mildly religious and his primary role was to be so &quot;cloyingly perfect as to annoy and shame the Simpsons&quot;, whereas Homer Simpson has always hated Ned Flanders and always tries to undermine him. There has been a consistent effort among the show's writers to make him not just &quot;goody good and an unsympathetic person&quot;. In the later seasons, Flanders has become more of a caricature of the Christian right, and his role as an irritating &quot;perfect neighbor&quot; has been lessened.<br /> <br /> Ned's store &quot;The Leftorium&quot; first appeared in &quot;[[When Flanders Failed]]&quot;. It was suggested by George Meyer, who had had a friend who had owned a left-handed specialty store which failed. The episode &quot;[[Hurricane Neddy]]&quot; shows Ned's faith being tested and the writers also used the episode as a chance to examine what makes him tick.<br /> <br /> There have been two occasions where Flanders was not voiced by Harry Shearer. In &quot;[[Bart of Darkness]]&quot;, Flanders's high pitched scream was performed by Tress MacNeille and in &quot;[[Homer to the Max]]&quot;, Flanders comments about cartoons being easily able to change voice actors and on that occasion he was voiced by Karl Wiedergott.<br /> <br /> === &quot;The Adventures of Ned Flanders&quot; ===<br /> {{Main|The Adventures of Ned Flanders}}<br /> ''The Adventures of Ned Flanders'' was a short that appeared at the end of the episode &quot;[[The Front]]&quot;. Entitled ''Love that God'', it highlights the Flanders' dedication to religion and perfect family niceness, yet again. Ned nearly scolds Rod and Todd, who are busy praying, after they refuse to get ready for church — only to be told that it is, in fact, a Saturday. Ned laughs at his mistake with a trademark &quot;Okelydokely!&quot; According to commentary on ''[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]'', ''The Simpsons'' team wanted to do more &quot;Adventures of Ned Flanders&quot; shorts. Time limitations have prevented them from producing more. Ironically, the reason why &quot;The Adventures of Ned Flanders&quot; was first conceived was because they couldn't expand the episode to fill up the remaining time gap.<br /> <br /> === Foreign dubs ===<br /> {{Dub voices<br /> |daVoice={{W|da:Christian Damsgaard (skuespiller)|Christian Damsgaard}} (movie)<br /> |frVoice={{W|Patrick Guillemin}}<br /> |poVoice={{W|pl:Wojciech Paszkowski|Wojciech Paszkowski}} (movie)<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> *In most of Flanders' appearances on the show, he was voiced by [[Harry Shearer]]. However, there was one episode where he was voiced by someone other than Harry Shearer. The episode was &quot;[[Homer to the Max]]&quot; where he was voiced by [[Karl Wiedergott]], which was deliberately done as a self-referential joke at the time where the voice actors for ''[[The Simpsons]]'' got low salaries from [[FOX]], and FOX threatened to replace them with replacement voice actors.<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> {{Incomplete}}<br /> {{scroll|<br /> *{{ep|Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire}}<br /> *{{ep|The Call of the Simpsons}}<br /> *{{ep|The Telltale Head}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Night Out}}<br /> *{{ep|The Crepes of Wrath}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets an &quot;F&quot;}}<br /> *{{ep|Simpson and Delilah}}<br /> *{{ep|Dancin' Homer}}<br /> *{{ep|Dead Putting Society}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart the Daredevil}}<br /> *{{ep|Itchy &amp; Scratchy &amp; Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets Hit by a Car}}<br /> *{{ep|One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart's Dog Gets an &quot;F&quot;}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Substitute}}<br /> *{{ep|Old Money}}<br /> *{{ep|The War of the Simpsons}}<br /> *{{ep|Stark Raving Dad}}<br /> *{{ep|When Flanders Failed}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart the Murderer}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror II}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Pony}}<br /> *{{ep|I Married Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Saturdays of Thunder}}<br /> *{{ep|Radio Bart}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Greek}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Alone}}<br /> *{{ep|Flaming Moe's}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer at the Bat}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart the Lover}}<br /> *{{ep|Dog of Death}}<br /> *{{ep|Kamp Krusty}}<br /> *{{ep|Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?}}<br /> *{{ep|A Streetcar Named Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Heretic}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Beauty Queen}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror III}}<br /> *{{ep|Itchy &amp; Scratchy: The Movie}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge Gets a Job}}<br /> *{{ep|Mr. Plow}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's First Word}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Triple Bypass}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge vs. the Monorail}}<br /> *{{ep|Brother from the Same Planet}}<br /> *{{ep|I Love Lisa}}<br /> *{{ep|Duffless}}<br /> *{{ep|So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show}}<br /> *{{ep|Cape Feare}}<br /> *{{ep|Rosebud}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Loves Flanders}}<br /> *{{ep|Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart of Darkness}}<br /> *{{ep|Another Simpsons Clip Show}}<br /> *{{ep|Sideshow Bob Roberts}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror V}}<br /> *{{ep|Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy}}<br /> *{{ep|A Star Is Burns}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Wedding}}<br /> *{{ep|Two Dozen and One Greyhounds}}<br /> *{{ep|'Round Springfield}}<br /> *{{ep|The Springfield Connection}}<br /> *{{ep|Who Shot Mr. Burns?

He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Grampa Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> Almost all of Grampa's biographical information is supplied by himself. Many of his stories seem to be wildly inaccurate, often physically or historically impossible, and occasionally inconsistent even with each other, suggesting Abe is senile. (Though his reaction to [[Bart]]'s reaction to one of his stories implies he is aware he is being inconsistent.) As such, all information provided is taken with a grain of salt. He is a member of the [[Stonecutters]], masons, communists, as well as being president of the gay and lesbian party for some reason. Additionally, he suffers from sporadic narcoleptic attacks.<br /> <br /> === History ===<br /> [[File:Gorgeous Grampa artwork.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Abraham as &quot;Glamorous Godfrey&quot;]]<br /> ==== Childhood ====<br /> Abraham Jedediah Simpson, perennially known as &quot;Grampa&quot; Simpson, was born in the &quot;Old Country&quot;; he apparently does not remember which country exactly. Most likely it was Canada, as that is where his great-great-grandparents immigrated in 1860 to avoid being arrested for helping a slave ([[Virgil Simpson|his great-great-grandfather]], to be precise) escape. Abe claims, when he was a young boy, he immigrated to America with his parents, and moved into the Statue of Liberty. For a few years they lived here, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Much Apu About Nothing]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also says he served in the first World War and had to lie about his age, being around five at the time.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Special Edna]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He worked as a shoeshine boy at [[Springfield Union Station]], and claims a not-yet-famous [[Clark Gable]] was one of his customers, whom he gave his copy of ''Gone With the Wind''.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the army ====<br /> In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Abe was participating in the javelin event. His throw nearly hit [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]], watching in the stands. Luckily, (for Hitler) it missed and hit the man about to assassinate him. At a later date, Grampa claimed he and Hitler laughed about it.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;&gt;[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Simpson Flying Hellfish.png|thumb|left|200px|Abe fighting for the Flying Hellfish.]]<br /> <br /> Abe's recollections of his [[World War II]] experiences are sometimes implausible. Abe was not initially keen to fight in Europe. After the United States declared war, he supposedly tried to avoid service by dressing in drag and playing for [[Springfield Floozies|a women's baseball team]] in 1942, which kept him from serving for a year before he was eventually discovered.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Later on, he and his unit served in {{w|The Battle of the Bulge}}, where he nearly succeeded in assassinating Hitler (though Montgomery Burns thwarted it at the last moment). Almost a year later, they invade an abandoned castle owned by the Nazis and flushed the Nazis out, though Montgomery tries to remove some paintings. Although he opposed the decision, and was morally against the idea, he ended up deciding to let Burns do it, though only so he might have a nest-egg after retirement. After &quot;liberating&quot; a stash of priceless art from the Nazis, Abe's unit (the [[Flying Hellfish]]) formed a tontine, and buried the art in a trunk at sea. Decades later, [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] tried to murder Abe in order to get the art, prompting Abe to violate the tontine. When Abe and Bart retrieve the art from Burns after a spectacular confrontation, the State Department arrives to give the art to their &quot;rightful&quot; owner, [[Baron von Wörtzenburger]], a snooty young German aristocrat (this part implies this did actually happen).<br /> <br /> Abe fathered an illegitimate daughter in the [[United Kingdom]] the day before he joined the D-Day operations in {{w|Normandy}}. Years later, Abe and his family met his daughter, lending further credence to the idea he served in Europe. Moreover, he once showed Bart and Lisa an album with photos of Germans killed by his platoon. He was also awarded the Iron Cross for accidentally directing U.S. jeeps into Nazi minefields. Another piece of information to support this idea is the fact he visited [[Simpson &amp; Son Pub|O'Flanagan's Pub]]in Ireland a long time ago in his WWII sergeant's uniform.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe once dressed as a woman dancer in disguise and made sexual motions toward Adolf Hitler, but when he leaned in, one of the fruits in his bra fell on the stage and Adolf Hitler gagged.<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the navy ====<br /> Abe also claims to have served in the Navy during World War II. He served as a pilot on an aircraft carrier with his brother, Cyrus, and Montgomery Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpsons Christmas Stories]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also served on a destroyer called the USS ''World War One'' during World War II. The USS World War One was sunk by a heat seeking torpedo they fired the other day. After the ship sunk, Abe and his fellow sailors rode on the back of sharks to avoid being eaten by them and had them swim in formation to spell a rescue message. It is also implied they tamed and befriended the sharks in question as a result.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Abraham also says he served on PT boat 109, where he heard John F. Kennedy speaking in German (&quot;Ich bin ein Berliner&quot;). Abe proclaimed Kenendy was a Nazi and he and the fellow sailors tackled Kennedy.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson Tide]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He boasts of having been a watchman at Pearl Harbor (falling asleep on duty), and claims President {{w|Grover Cleveland}} spanked him on two nonconsecutive occasions.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Two Bad Neighbors]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Also, in 1947, he met future Itchy creator and bum [[Chester J. Lampwick]], and he offered him a plate of corn muffins under the condition Lampwick paint his chicken coop. However, he never did, resulting in Abe carrying a grudge against him for many years. Lampwick later revealed this was because the corn muffins were &quot;lousy.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Day the Violence Died]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life in the air force====<br /> [[File:Mona1950s.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Abe and Mona in the 1950s.]]<br /> In the 1950s, Abe joined the air force. Here, he met his future wife, Mona, a cocktail waitress at the main diner near the base, where she was known as Sunny. Abe fell in love with Mona, but wasn't brave enough to attract her attention, so he stopped his regular maintenance job and took a supersonic flight that nearly killed him, but won Mona over.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Let's Go Fly a Coot]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Fatherhood ====<br /> [[File:Abe mona.png|left|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona's wedding day]]<br /> Afterwards, he went to the carnival, and encountered a prostitute, thus resulting in the procreation of his illegitimate son, Herb Powell. He married Mona and, after having a bit of his tonic with her, they made love and accidentally procreated Homer Simpson. Mona, shortly after Homer's birth, made Abe swear not to tell Homer he has a half brother. He continued to use the Simpson farm until the bank foreclosed the farm due to the cows producing sour milk, theorizing something must have spooked them good. (Unknown to Abe, the reason why the cows were spooked was Homer traumatized them by running around and yelling at them.) When Homer aspired to become President of the United States (more specifically President Kennedy), Abe beat Homer down for thinking Homer even had a chance of becoming President.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; After moving from the farm, they settled in an apartment, and watched the third Super Bowl, which indirectly made him responsible for his wife becoming a hippie. He was dragged to [[Wikipedia:Woodstock Festival|Woodstock]], and after scolding Homer for emulating the hippie lifestyle, attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War. After Mona was forced to run away from home after destroying Mr. Burns's Germ Warfare Lab, he lied to Homer by claiming Mona died when he was at the movies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Mother Simpson]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He started work at [[Spiro's]] and wrote songs. [[Rita LaFleur]] heard his songs, liked them, she starting singing his songs, and they married. When Rita was going to go on a tour of Europe, Abe stayed in the U.S. to raise Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Gone Abie Gone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Rise to fame ====<br /> The whole family went on a visit to Wet 'N' Wacky World. When the rest of the family were watching [[Slimu]], Grampa stayed on a shark bench and recalled how he once rode a shark. Then a newspaper columnist named [[Marshall Goldman]] turned up, and was interested in his stories. Soon the whole of [[Springfield]] was reading them. Despite being offered a chance for [[Mitch Albom]] to write about him, Grampa sticks with Marshall, constantly with him writing what he says. Homer comes to visit his father, but Abe rejects him. While Homer is submitting a column to the shopper about [[Mr. Burns]] (who Homer uses as an adoptive father to get back at Abe), he sneaks into Marshall's office, and finds out Marshall is planning to kill Abe at precisely 3pm on the Tinseltown Starliner, and even has the article and award application ready. Meanwhile at Springfield Union Station, Abe is aboard the train with Marshall, and despite Homer's many attempts to warn him, Abe has no idea because of hearing problems. When he is sleeping, Marshall is just about to suffocate him when Homer jumps aboard and stops him, not expecting Marshall to pull out a knife, and retrieve a gun form the pillow. They both wrestle for control of the gun when Abe gets up and hits Marshall on the head with a bottle, but this has no effect. When putting his hands up to surrender, he grabs the trains emergency brake lever, which sends Marshall flying back and causes him to be crushed by luggage. Both Homer and Grampa embrace, and the family is back together. In the end Abe decides to let Homer tell the story of how he saved Homer's life (his first ramble) and Homer ends up talking about Godzilla and The Rolling Stones.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursday's With Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe also showed he is good at sporting activities even though he is old, winning the Senior Olympics.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life today ====<br /> [[File:Abefolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Grampa's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]<br /> Due to his apparent senility, Abe is often ignored by Homer and other family members, and is alternatively content with this, resentful of this, or completely unaware of his being ignored. Abe is very friendly with Jasper and the Jewish Old Man. Like Hans Moleman, Abe often appears in recurring gags. He is also very unlucky and forgetful at times sometimes forgetting where he lives or where his son lives. Abe also had a number of affairs, most notably with [[Beatrice Simmons]], who died and left Abe an inheritance of $106,000. He also had an affair with [[Jackie Bouvier]] [Marge's mother], who broke up with him after she was wooed by Mr. Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He was also briefly married to Marge's sister Selma.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Rome-Old and Juli-Eh]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe also acted as a good father to Homer at times and also acted as a good grandfather to Bart and Lisa. However, he does not like cheekiness from Homer, Bart, or Lisa. He also demands to be treated right and he reckons he is just as important as the others.<br /> <br /> ==== Occupations ====<br /> For forty years, Abe worked as a security guard at a cranberry silo.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Front]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Within his elderly years, he was a Wal-Mart greeter, a cartoon writer, and a traveling salesman of an aphrodisiac.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> ==== Homer ====<br /> Abe was not a particularly caring father to Homer, as evidenced at one point when he tells his son, ''&quot;Homer, you're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!&quot;'' Homer does not normally appear to resent these casual abuses, though in one episode Abe calls Homer an accident, years of pent up anger on Homer's part leads to a temporary estrangement. Homer also takes every opportunity to ignore or reject his father, whom he placed in a dilapidated retirement home. Abe held a variety of postwar jobs, including a farmer in Homer's early childhood until the bank foreclosed. Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked 1950s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family. Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a [[Springfield Retirement Castle|retirement home]] some three weeks later. Abe was also angered about Homer's role in ensuring the [[Trappuccino]] incident, yelling &quot;I'm part of the mob!&quot; when Homer inquired on his safety.<br /> <br /> ==== Other family ====<br /> Abraham Simpson is the estranged husband to [[Mona Simpson]], father to [[Homer Simpson]], father-in-law to [[Marge Simpson]] and grandfather to siblings [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]. He also fathered two illegitimate children; a daughter named [[Abbie]] by a British lady named [[Edwina]] while in England during World War II and [[Herbert Powell]] with a carnival hooker. He was briefly married to [[Amber Simpson|Amber]], the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge. Also in [[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]], the family tree shows his parents' names to be [[Orville Simpson]] and [[Yuma Hickman]]. Abe's brother [[Cyrus Simpson|Cyrus]] lives in Tahiti with multiple wives.<br /> <br /> ==== Mona ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Mona present.PNG|right|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona are reunited during Mona's return to Springfield.]]<br /> He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching {{w|Joe Namath}} on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab owned by Montgomery Burns. Abe had no interest in this, instead focusing on the TV. Abe tells a six-year-old Homer Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe would point out her supposed grave (which actually belonged to [[Walt Whitman]]) every time the family drove past it. However, after Homer went to the Springfield Hall of Records to prove he was still alive (after faking his death in order to avoid having work on Saturday), he learnt from the record that his mother was still alive. <br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> [[File:Springfield Retirement Castle.png|left|200px|thumb|The Springfield Retirement Castle, Abe's home.]]<br /> Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]]; a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people (a sign near the entrance says &quot;Thank you for not discussing the outside world&quot;). Abe also informs Lisa residents are not allowed to read newspapers because &quot;they angry up the blood&quot;. His closest friend appears to be [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]], a fellow Retirement Castle resident.<br /> <br /> He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint on his old-fashioned typewriter. He once wrote to the President, complaining there were too many states, and requesting they get rid of three of them (simultaneously insisting he was &quot;not a crackpot&quot;). He also wrote to &quot;the sickos at ''Modern Bride Magazine''&quot; about his disgust at not seeing &quot;one wrinkled face&quot; or &quot;a single toothless grin&quot; in the publication. He also owns a 49-star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of [[Missouri]]: ''&quot;I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura.&quot;''<br /> <br /> He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: &quot;The {{w|metric system}} is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.&quot; Like many of his fellow Retirement Castle residents, Abe is a devoted follower of ''[[Matlock]]''. He even supports tearing down the Simpsons' house in order to complete construction of the proposed &quot;Matlock Expressway&quot;. He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: &quot;I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. It's probably that evil [[wikipedia:Gavin MacLeod|Gavin MacLeod]] or [[wikipedia:George Lindsey|George 'Goober' Lindsey]].&quot; During a ''Matlock'' public appearance, Abe and [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]] swipe Matlock's pills, needed to prevent him from having a spastic heart failure. Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but decided it was alright because &quot;we did have two shows with [[wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]].&quot; He joins the mob when it was revealed Homer contaminated Lake Springfield and barely refrained from killing Marge, Lisa and Bart with a shotgun.<br /> <br /> Grampa also had a habit of telling stories about his past though a lot of the time these stories didn't really happen. Presumably his senility caused him to think he really did have these experiences; alternatively he could have simply been lying about them. However at least one of his stories was true; the one about the Flying Hellfish.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> In [[Treehouse of Horror IV]], in the section Bart Simpson's Dracula, The Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. The Simpsons are eating dinner and Lisa finds out her whole family are vampires, including Grandpa, who pretends to be the head vampire when in reality Marge is. Lisa mistakingly killed Burns but she should've killed Marge. The Simpsons say Happy Halloween while going through a Charlie Brown Christmas Special ending parody.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons Game ===<br /> He first appears in the level [[Mob Rules]] as one of the people Marge can bring into her mob to protest the sale of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' video game to minors.

Smithers, Jr.''' (better known as &quot;'''Mr. Smithers'''&quot; or simply as &quot;'''Smithers'''&quot;) is [[Mr. Burns]] personal assistant, executive, and self-proclaimed best friend. He is openly gay as he came out, but due to how poorly he hid his sexuality most people knew that beforehand.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Burns Cage&quot;&gt;&quot;[[The Burns Cage]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> Smithers' father, [[Waylon Smithers, Sr.]], worked for Burns until he died of radiation poisoning after saving Springfield from a potential nuclear meltdown,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Blunder Years]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; making Mr. Burns the closest thing to a father figure he knew. In high school, he was beaten up by bullies (including [[Homer Simpson]]), while he was the announcer for the high school gymnastics competition. Eventually he became Mr. Burns' personal assistant.<br /> <br /> As a (not very well) closeted gay man, he has had a crush on Mr. Burns for as long as he as worked for him, but Burns has never caught on. He was previously married to a woman (a southern belle, given her accent and personality), but it fell apart when, shortly after an injury with his leg, and his then-wife wanted to have sex with him, his then-wife referred to his true love, Mr. Burns, as &quot;awful&quot;. At one point it was implied that he was linked romantically to {{ap|John|gay}}, the owner of Cockamamie's thrift shop.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Phobia]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He collects [[Malibu Stacy]] dolls, writes a newsletter about the doll,&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and was the author of a Malibu Stacy stage musical that played in Arizona; he played Stacy's boyfriend.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer vs. Dignity]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He once owned a Yorkshire Terrier named [[Hercules]]. When Mr. Burns convinced [[Sideshow Bob]] to run for mayor, it was Smithers who revealed to [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] a clue that would lead them to the truth about Bob's not-so-honest victory in the mayoral election, hinting that his reasons were due to Sideshow Bob planning on enacting policies that were oppressive to his orientation.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1995, when Mr. Burns attempted to block the sun from [[Springfield]] after stealing oil from the [[Springfield Elementary School|elementary school]], Smithers objected and was fired. This drove him into a nightmare of alcohol abuse and Comedy Central viewing. He was the main suspect in the subsequent shooting of Mr. Burns, but he was cleared. However, he did, in a drunken stupor, shoot [[Jasper]] in his wooden leg while trying to rush home to watch his favorite TV show. No charges were pressed in this case. It is unknown as to what religion he practices, although it is heavily implied that he is Protestant, as he goes to a confessional stand (which is primarily a Catholic practice), and before making the confession, he admits to God that he is not a Catholic, although he did try to march in the Saint Patrick's Day Parade.&lt;ref name=&quot;Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:SmithersFolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Mr. Smithers' character folder seen in the Hall of Records.]]<br /> Smithers' official job at the power plant appears to be that of executive assistant, which he says is &quot;actually about 2,800 smaller jobs&quot;,&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; responsible for monitoring employee attendance and is often a disciplinarian and has won dozens of &quot;Employee of the Month&quot; awards.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer Defined]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He has often hinted at wanting to be promoted to the position of executive vice president, but Burns has repeatedly squashed this dream, while whimsically bestowing the vice presidency on Homer&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson and Delilah]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and a dog.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Enemy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He was once, however, made the CEO of the Nuclear Power Plant in Burns' stead when Mr. Burns was arrested for stealing paintings from a museum, a position that is arguably better than vice president, although he hints that he didn't want the job. He initially tried to be an employee-friendly boss, but after overhearing a conversation between [[Lenny]], [[Carl]] and Homer while meeting at [[Moe's Tavern]] that revealed that they were abusing his employee-friendly nature to in essence goof off, he became a worse CEO than Mr. Burns (even going as far as to release wolverines in the house instead of hounds). He eventually gave up on the position willingly after Mr. Burns was released by Lenny, Carl and Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[American History X-cellent]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Smithers has the largest collection of Malibu Stacy dolls in the World and is the president of the Malibu Stacy fan club.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> Smithers has been implied to be gay several times despite not declaring it himself. He has several gay friends and frequents Springfield's gay village. When he was arrested for trying to get opium for [[Mr. Burns]], he is implied to be gay when Mr. Burns says to [[Homer]] &quot;I've never seen someone taken to a Turkish prison so quickly.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Three Gays of the Condo]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and goes on a vacation to a male-only resort.&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Smithers is shown to be quite passionate for Mr. Burns. Smithers has occasional fantasies about Burns, like dreaming he is on his bed and suddenly Mr. Burns appears flying through the window.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge Gets a Job]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; When he turns his computer on, it shows a nude Burns saying &quot;Hello Smithers. You're quite good at turning me on&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;/&gt; Smithers has declared his love for Burns on some occasions, such as kissing Mr. Burns on the lips after saying &quot;Oh, what the hell!&quot;, believing the world was ending, later explaining it to him as &quot;merely a sign of my respect&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa the Skeptic]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Another hint of Smithers sexuality is when he seems to have been dating John, a gay man.<br /> <br /> Burns has remained largely ignorant of Smithers' devoted adoration. Burns himself has been involved with several women, much to Smithers' frustration, like when Mr. Burns fell in love with Marge and with a woman called [[Gloria]]. Smithers was noticeably disgusted when Burns started looking for a female companion.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Burns, for his part, views (and refers to) Smithers as a lackey, albeit a highly valued one for his competence and toadying. He has &quot;rewarded&quot; Smithers' devotion with the future &quot;honor&quot; of being buried alive with him after he dies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Burns' Heir]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Smithers has been shown to be somewhat dependant on his relationship with Burns, like the occasion when Burns orders Smithers to take a vacation and Homer is hired as a temporary replacement. When Homer loses his temper and punches Burns in the face, Mr. Burns learns to become self-reliant and this results in Smithers being fired. Smithers decides that he needs to be Burns' assistant and eventually gets his job back.&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;/&gt; For all his sycophantic devotion to Mr. Burns, Smithers has been willing to challenge him on some occasions. He opposed his employer's various evil schemes Burns fired him. As a result of his firing, Smithers became a &quot;hideous drunken wreck&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and when Mr. Burns was shot later, Smithers thought he might have done it while he was drunk. When it was proven that he had not, Smithers seemingly forgave Burns and demanded that the culprit be brought to justice, offering a reward for the capture of the perpetrator.&lt;ref name=&quot;Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> Smithers' romantic interest has largely been aimed at Mr. Burns who appears oblivious to Smithers' affections. Smithers entered a relationship with [[Julio]] after quitting from his job, however it was apparent that Smithers was not over Burns so Julio ended it.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Burns Cage&quot;/&gt; It's been implied that Smithers had a thing with [[Mr. Largo]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[See Homer Run]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[What to Expect When Bart's Expecting]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Future ===<br /> [[File:Doggy Smithers.png|thumb|Smithers as a robotic dog]]<br /> As seen on [[Professor Frink]]'s future machine, at age 58, Smithers injects himself with medicine every 10 minutes to become straight (upon taking the injection he waves his arms in the air and shouts &quot;I loves boobies!&quot;).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Future-Drama]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; At age 65, he thawed out Mr. Burns and had his 17 stab wounds to the back cured. He attended [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa Simpson's]] wedding with him.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa's Wedding]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; At age 1,000,050, his head is on a robotic dog body and follows Mr. Burns' head everywhere.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Rosebud]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: The Arcade Game ===<br /> Smithers appears in this game as the first boss of the final level, as well as one of the main antagonists. Smithers, presumably under Mr. Burns' command, broke into a jewelry store to steal a diamond. As he and his fellow henchmen were making their escape, he (quite literally) bumped into the Simpson's family, causing him to lose the diamond, and for Maggie to catch it. Because of this setback, Smithers ends up kidnapping Maggie and, after a few misadventures, Smithers makes it back to the Nuclear Power Plant, although not without the Simpsons family following him. He then fights the Simpsons family, remarking &quot;Welcome to my world!&quot; He lobbed several explosives at the family. When sensing that he would soon lose, he opened his cape, revealed to be filled with explosives, cackling maniacally only to react in shock as he discovers that the explosives had activated, causing him to be caught in the explosions. For unknown reasons, Smithers in this game actually sounds much higher pitched than in the regular series (most of the other characters usually have more or less the same voices in the game).<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons Game ===<br /> In ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'', level &quot;{{ap|Lisa the Tree Hugger|The Simpsons Game}}&quot;, Smithers was involved in Mr. Burns' plan of trying to cut down the entirety of Springfield Forest, and is comforting him about doing better next time when the plan fails due to Lisa and Bart's interference, as well as phoning some goons to beat up Al Gore. In [[Mob Rules]], he appears as one of the people Marge can use to protest the sales of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' videogame to minors. In [[Medal of Homer]], a squad of sailors resembling Smithers protects Private Burns on board his personal naval carrier where he protects the stolen paintings from the village of St. Capitulons. According to Abraham Simpson during the briefing for the level, the sailors in question fight neither for country nor for God, solely for love. Ironically the sailor Smitherses are among the enemies sent by [[God]] in &quot;[[Game Over]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> ===Coca Cola Advert===<br /> He is briefly seen being bought by [[Patty]] and [[Selma]], then in the park butlering them.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===<br /> ==== Default ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Plant Workers|Smithers}}<br /> <br /> ==== Number 59 ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/More Stonecutters|Number59}}<br /> <br /> ==== Doggy Smithers ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Robots|DoggySmithers}}<br /> <br /> ==== Rollerskate Smithers ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Springfield Pride|RollerskateSmithers}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> === Character ===<br /> ==== Creation ====<br /> [[File:Waylon Smithers, Jr. (Homer's Odyssey).png|left|thumb|Smithers with black skin and blue hair, as seen in &quot;[[Homer's Odyssey]]&quot;]]<br /> Waylon Smithers was partly based on how numerous [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] executives and staff members acted towards Barry Diller.&lt;ref name=tvguide&gt;{{cite news|title=Flash! 24 Simpsons Stars Reveal Themselves|accessdate=2007-08-15|date=[[2000-10-21]]|publisher=TV Guide|author=Joe Rhodes}}&lt;/ref&gt; The idea for Smithers's orientation came from [[Sam Simon]], who proposed that Smithers should be gay, but the writers should never draw too much attention to it and should try to keep it in the back of their heads.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReissTTH&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;The Telltale Head&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; The script for &quot;[[Blood Feud]]&quot; originally featured Smithers saying &quot;Just leave me enough to get home to my wife and kids,&quot; but the line had to be cut for time.&lt;ref name=tvguide/&gt; Smithers is voiced by [[Harry Shearer]], who is also the voice of Mr. Burns.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.foxflash.com/div.php/main/page?aID=1z2z2z175z13z4&amp;bioid=1675|title=Harry Shearer|accessdate=2007-10-27|publisher=[[Fox Broadcasting Company]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; Shearer is often able to perform dialogue between the two characters in one take.&lt;ref name=&quot;JeanBF&quot;/&gt; [[Dan Castellaneta]] occasionally fills in for Shearer at table reads and voices Smithers.&lt;ref name=&quot;JeanBF&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Smithers made his first appearance in &quot;[[Homer's Odyssey]]&quot;, which was the third episode of the [[Season 1|first season]], although he can be heard over a speaker in ''The Simpsons'' series premiere &quot;[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;bbc&quot;&gt;[http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/episodeguide/season1/page1.shtml Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire] ''BBC.co.uk''.

Smithers is an obedient and sycophant assistant to Mr. Burns. There have often been strong hints about Smithers's true feelings for his boss, with one of the earliest references being in the season one episode &quot;[[The Telltale Head]]&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReissTTH&quot;/&gt; Smithers's sexual orientation has often come into question, with some fans claiming he is a &quot;Burns-sexual&quot; and only attracted to his boss, while others maintain that he is, without a doubt, gay. During the [[Bill Oakley]]/[[Josh Weinstein]] era, they still tried to keep his sexuality mysterious and there was debate among the writers about his orientation. [[Al Jean]], who thinks of Smithers as being a &quot;Burns-sexual&quot;,&lt;ref name=&quot;JeanBF&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;Blood Feud&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; felt that had Mr. Burns been a woman, then Smithers would not be gay.&lt;ref name=&quot;Oakley&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Oakley, Bill|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 7 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[David Silverman]], a former supervising director has said, &quot;[Smithers] seems to be focused on one particular human, as opposed to anything beyond that. [Rather than being gay], he's sort of 'Burns-sexual.'&quot; &quot;Waylon Smithers&quot; is actually an anagram of &quot;Wants him sorely&quot;. In a 2006 study conducted by the &quot;Gay &amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation&quot;, it was determined that nine of the 679 lead and supporting characters on scripted broadcast television were gay or lesbian. Smithers was not included among these nine characters, and it caused a mild online controversy. [[Patty Bouvier]], [[Marge Simpson]]'s lesbian sister, was included on the list.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.eonline.com/news//article/index.jsp?uuid=fd0da574-316b-4300-80a7-8662f9a096b2&amp;entry=index|title=&quot;Simpsons'&quot; Smithers Part of Shrinking Minority?|author=Finn, Natalie|accessdate=2006-08-22|date=2007-11-07|publisher=E! News}}&lt;/ref&gt; The debate is referenced in &quot;[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]&quot;, when the episode host, [[Troy McClure]] is answering viewer questions, and one that is asked is &quot;What is the real deal with Mr. Burns' assistant Smithers? You know what I'm talking about.&quot; A montage of various clips that shows Smithers' lust for Mr. Burns follows, and in the end, McClure says &quot;as you can see, the real deal with Waylon Smithers is that he's Mr. Burns' assistant. He's in his early forties, is unmarried, and currently resides in Springfield. Thanks for asking!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Several of the allusions to Smithers's sexuality have turned into battles with the censors. For example, in Smithers' fantasy of a naked Mr. Burns popping out of a birthday cake in &quot;[[Rosebud]]&quot;, the censors had not wanted Mr. Burns to be naked. Another example is &quot;[[Marge Gets a Job]]&quot;, which has a dream sequence where Smithers is sleeping and Burns flies through a window. The sequence shows Burns flying towards him and Smithers looking happy, but originally it went on for a few seconds longer. It had to be trimmed down due to scenes that showed &quot;Mr. Burns land[ing] on a particular position on Smithers's anatomy&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Oakley&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Oakley, Bill|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 7 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt; There were also issues with &quot;the lump in his bed&quot;, which the animators had been drawn as his knee, but the censors had misinterpreted.&lt;ref name=&quot;Weinstein&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Weinstein, Josh|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 7 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In the early seasons, Smithers has an occasional catchphrase, which comes from a recurring joke that Mr. Burns never remembers who Homer is. In some scenes, Smithers and Burns would watch Homer over a security camera Burns will ask, &quot;Who is that man?&quot;, to which Smithers would reply, &quot;That's Homer Simpson sir, one of your [insert drones, organ banks, carbon blobs, etc.] from sector 7G.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Reception ===<br /> In the second season, the writers started to enjoy writing about Smithers and Burns's relationship, and the writers often pitched episodes with them as the focus, but many never came to fruition.&lt;ref name=&quot;VittiSaD&quot;&gt;{{cite video | people=Vitti, Jon|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode &quot;Simpson and Delilah&quot;| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 2004, Simpsons producers announced that one of the characters was going to come out of the closet.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,673179,00.html|title=I D'oh|author=Susman, Gary|accessdate=2007-10-25|date=[[2004-07-28]]|publisher=Entertainment Weekly}}&lt;/ref&gt; Speculation on who it would be was printed in newspapers throughout the United States and Canada (even claiming Smithers's &quot;sexual orientation was about the worst-kept secret in Springfield,&quot;)&lt;ref&gt;Rayner, Ben. &quot;We'll have a gay old time.&quot; The Toronto Star: February 20, 2005 Sunday, P.

He is a foil to [[Chief Wiggum]], and often takes the time to point out Wiggum's mistakes (often while a crime, or the pursuit of a criminal is still in progress).<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> Lou speaks more than his counterpart [[Eddie]]. Although he rarely comes up, when he does he is in a police uniform. Lou once said he wants to leave the force as there is more money in private security, nothing ever becomes of this though.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Bart Wants What It Wants]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; His favorite on duty beverage is beer.<br /> [[File:YellowLou.png|thumb|Lou with yellow skin.]]<br /> <br /> === Education ===<br /> Although he has never stated so explicitly, other people around [[Springfield]] have insinuated that he is a graduate of Princeton University. Following his undergraduate career, Lou applied and was accepted to law school at an unspecified university, but was forced to drop out as he could not afford the tuition. His talents are abusing power and intimidating suspects.<br /> <br /> === Family ===<br /> Lou was married to a woman named Amy, but later divorced.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Bart of War]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He complains occasionally that Eddie has been seeing his ex-wife, causing [[Clancy Wiggum|Chief Wiggum]] to act as mediator. Lou became the temporary owner of Santa's Little Helper, who was trained to be a police dog.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Stop, Or My Dog Will Shoot!]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; At around this time, it was revealed that Lou has a girlfriend named [[Charquelle]] who had wanted to party with him. Lou once joined a GRUNGE band with [[Homer Simpson]], [[Lenny Leonard]] and [[Carl Carlson]] called &quot;[[Sadgasm]]&quot;, which broke up later.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[That '90s Show]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; His unintelligible joy is hot and cold running chicks.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===<br /> {{Transcluded|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Civil Servants}}<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Civil Servants|Lou|options=nointro}}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> *According to the Season One DVD commentary, Lou was based on Lou Whitaker.<br /> *[[Hank Azaria]] based Lou's voice on Sylvester Stallone.<br /> *In &quot;[[Krusty Gets Busted]],&quot; and in &quot;[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]&quot;, the color stylists mistakenly colored Lou yellow.

Smithers, Jr.''' (better known as &quot;'''Mr. Smithers'''&quot; or simply as &quot;'''Smithers'''&quot;) is [[Mr. Burns]] personal assistant, executive, and self-proclaimed best friend. He is openly gay as he came out, but due to how poorly he hid his sexuality most people knew that beforehand.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Burns Cage&quot;&gt;&quot;[[The Burns Cage]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> Smithers' father, [[Waylon Smithers, Sr.]], worked for Burns until he died of radiation poisoning after saving Springfield from a potential nuclear meltdown,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Blunder Years]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; making Mr. Burns the closest thing to a father figure he knew. In high school, he was beaten up by bullies (including [[Homer Simpson]]), while he was the announcer for the high school gymnastics competition. Eventually he became Mr. Burns' personal assistant.<br /> <br /> As a (not very well) closeted gay man, he has had a crush on Mr. Burns for as long as he as worked for him, but Burns has never caught on. He was previously married to a woman (a southern belle, given her accent and personality), but it fell apart when, shortly after an injury with his leg, and his then-wife wanted to have sex with him, his then-wife referred to his true love, Mr. Burns, as &quot;awful&quot;. At one point it was implied that he was linked romantically to {{ap|John|gay}}, the owner of Cockamamie's thrift shop.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Phobia]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He collects [[Malibu Stacy]] dolls, writes a newsletter about the doll,&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and was the author of a Malibu Stacy stage musical that played in Arizona; he played Stacy's boyfriend.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer vs. Dignity]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He once owned a Yorkshire Terrier named [[Hercules]]. When Mr. Burns convinced [[Sideshow Bob]] to run for mayor, it was Smithers who revealed to [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] a clue that would lead them to the truth about Bob's not-so-honest victory in the mayoral election, hinting that his reasons were due to Sideshow Bob planning on enacting policies that were oppressive to his orientation.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1995, when Mr. Burns attempted to block the sun from [[Springfield]] after stealing oil from the [[Springfield Elementary School|elementary school]], Smithers objected and was fired. This drove him into a nightmare of alcohol abuse and Comedy Central viewing. He was the main suspect in the subsequent shooting of Mr. Burns, but he was cleared. However, he did, in a drunken stupor, shoot [[Jasper]] in his wooden leg while trying to rush home to watch his favorite TV show. No charges were pressed in this case. It is unknown as to what religion he practices, although it is heavily implied that he is Protestant, as he goes to a confessional stand (which is primarily a Catholic practice), and before making the confession, he admits to God that he is not a Catholic, although he did try to march in the Saint Patrick's Day Parade.&lt;ref name=&quot;Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:SmithersFolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Mr. Smithers' character folder seen in the Hall of Records.]]<br /> Smithers' official job at the power plant appears to be that of executive assistant, which he says is &quot;actually about 2,800 smaller jobs&quot;,&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; responsible for monitoring employee attendance and is often a disciplinarian and has won dozens of &quot;Employee of the Month&quot; awards.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer Defined]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He has often hinted at wanting to be promoted to the position of executive vice president, but Burns has repeatedly squashed this dream, while whimsically bestowing the vice presidency on Homer&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson and Delilah]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and a dog.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer's Enemy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He was once, however, made the CEO of the Nuclear Power Plant in Burns' stead when Mr. Burns was arrested for stealing paintings from a museum, a position that is arguably better than vice president, although he hints that he didn't want the job. He initially tried to be an employee-friendly boss, but after overhearing a conversation between [[Lenny]], [[Carl]] and Homer while meeting at [[Moe's Tavern]] that revealed that they were abusing his employee-friendly nature to in essence goof off, he became a worse CEO than Mr. Burns (even going as far as to release wolverines in the house instead of hounds). He eventually gave up on the position willingly after Mr. Burns was released by Lenny, Carl and Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[American History X-cellent]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Smithers has the largest collection of Malibu Stacy dolls in the World and is the president of the Malibu Stacy fan club.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> Smithers has been implied to be gay several times despite not declaring it himself. He has several gay friends and frequents Springfield's gay village. When he was arrested for trying to get opium for [[Mr. Burns]], he is implied to be gay when Mr. Burns says to [[Homer]] &quot;I've never seen someone taken to a Turkish prison so quickly.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Three Gays of the Condo]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and goes on a vacation to a male-only resort.&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Smithers is shown to be quite passionate for Mr. Burns. Smithers has occasional fantasies about Burns, like dreaming he is on his bed and suddenly Mr. Burns appears flying through the window.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge Gets a Job]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; When he turns his computer on, it shows a nude Burns saying &quot;Hello Smithers. You're quite good at turning me on&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy&quot;/&gt; Smithers has declared his love for Burns on some occasions, such as kissing Mr. Burns on the lips after saying &quot;Oh, what the hell!&quot;, believing the world was ending, later explaining it to him as &quot;merely a sign of my respect&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa the Skeptic]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Another hint of Smithers sexuality is when he seems to have been dating John, a gay man.<br /> <br /> Burns has remained largely ignorant of Smithers' devoted adoration. Burns himself has been involved with several women, much to Smithers' frustration, like when Mr. Burns fell in love with Marge and with a woman called [[Gloria]]. Smithers was noticeably disgusted when Burns started looking for a female companion.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Burns, for his part, views (and refers to) Smithers as a lackey, albeit a highly valued one for his competence and toadying. He has &quot;rewarded&quot; Smithers' devotion with the future &quot;honor&quot; of being buried alive with him after he dies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Burns' Heir]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Smithers has been shown to be somewhat dependant on his relationship with Burns, like the occasion when Burns orders Smithers to take a vacation and Homer is hired as a temporary replacement. When Homer loses his temper and punches Burns in the face, Mr. Burns learns to become self-reliant and this results in Smithers being fired. Smithers decides that he needs to be Burns' assistant and eventually gets his job back.&lt;ref name=&quot;Homer the Smithers&quot;/&gt; For all his sycophantic devotion to Mr. Burns, Smithers has been willing to challenge him on some occasions. He opposed his employer's various evil schemes Burns fired him. As a result of his firing, Smithers became a &quot;hideous drunken wreck&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and when Mr. Burns was shot later, Smithers thought he might have done it while he was drunk. When it was proven that he had not, Smithers seemingly forgave Burns and demanded that the culprit be brought to justice, offering a reward for the capture of the perpetrator.&lt;ref name=&quot;Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part Two&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> Smithers' romantic interest has largely been aimed at Mr. Burns who appears oblivious to Smithers' affections. Smithers entered a relationship with [[Julio]] after quitting from his job, however it was apparent that Smithers was not over Burns so Julio ended it.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Burns Cage&quot;/&gt; It's been implied that Smithers had a thing with [[Mr. Largo]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[See Homer Run]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[What to Expect When Bart's Expecting]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Future ===<br /> [[File:Doggy Smithers.png|thumb|Smithers as a robotic dog]]<br /> As seen on [[Professor Frink]]'s future machine, at age 58, Smithers injects himself with medicine every 10 minutes to become straight (upon taking the injection he waves his arms in the air and shouts &quot;I loves boobies!&quot;).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Future-Drama]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; At age 65, he thawed out Mr. Burns and had his 17 stab wounds to the back cured. He attended [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa Simpson's]] wedding with him.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa's Wedding]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; At age 1,000,050, his head is on a robotic dog body and follows Mr. Burns' head everywhere.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Rosebud]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: The Arcade Game ===<br /> Smithers appears in this game as the first boss of the final level, as well as one of the main antagonists. Smithers, presumably under Mr. Burns' command, broke into a jewelry store to steal a diamond. As he and his fellow henchmen were making their escape, he (quite literally) bumped into the Simpson's family, causing him to lose the diamond, and for Maggie to catch it. Because of this setback, Smithers ends up kidnapping Maggie and, after a few misadventures, Smithers makes it back to the Nuclear Power Plant, although not without the Simpsons family following him. He then fights the Simpsons family, remarking &quot;Welcome to my world!&quot; He lobbed several explosives at the family. When sensing that he would soon lose, he opened his cape, revealed to be filled with explosives, cackling maniacally only to react in shock as he discovers that the explosives had activated, causing him to be caught in the explosions. For unknown reasons, Smithers in this game actually sounds much higher pitched than in the regular series (most of the other characters usually have more or less the same voices in the game).<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons Game ===<br /> In ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'', level &quot;{{ap|Lisa the Tree Hugger|The Simpsons Game}}&quot;, Smithers was involved in Mr. Burns' plan of trying to cut down the entirety of Springfield Forest, and is comforting him about doing better next time when the plan fails due to Lisa and Bart's interference, as well as phoning some goons to beat up Al Gore. In [[Mob Rules]], he appears as one of the people Marge can use to protest the sales of the ''Grand Theft Scr</div>

He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Grampa Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> Almost all of Grampa's biographical information is supplied by himself. Many of his stories seem to be wildly inaccurate, often physically or historically impossible, and occasionally inconsistent even with each other, suggesting Abe is senile. (Though his reaction to [[Bart]]'s reaction to one of his stories implies he is aware he is being inconsistent.) As such, all information provided is taken with a grain of salt. He is a member of the [[Stonecutters]], masons, communists, as well as being president of the gay and lesbian party for some reason. Additionally, he suffers from sporadic narcoleptic attacks.<br /> <br /> === History ===<br /> [[File:Gorgeous Grampa artwork.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Abraham as &quot;Glamorous Godfrey&quot;]]<br /> ==== Childhood ====<br /> Abraham Jedediah Simpson, perennially known as &quot;Grampa&quot; Simpson, was born in the &quot;Old Country&quot;; he apparently does not remember which country exactly. Most likely it was Canada, as that is where his great-great-grandparents immigrated in 1860 to avoid being arrested for helping a slave ([[Virgil Simpson|his great-great-grandfather]], to be precise) escape. Abe claims, when he was a young boy, he immigrated to America with his parents, and moved into the Statue of Liberty. For a few years they lived here, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Much Apu About Nothing]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also says he served in the first World War and had to lie about his age, being around five at the time.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Special Edna]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He worked as a shoeshine boy at [[Springfield Union Station]], and claims a not-yet-famous [[Clark Gable]] was one of his customers, whom he gave his copy of ''Gone With the Wind''.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the army ====<br /> In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Abe was participating in the javelin event. His throw nearly hit [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]], watching in the stands. Luckily, (for Hitler) it missed and hit the man about to assassinate him. At a later date, Grampa claimed he and Hitler laughed about it.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;&gt;[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Simpson Flying Hellfish.png|thumb|left|200px|Abe fighting for the Flying Hellfish.]]<br /> <br /> Abe's recollections of his [[World War II]] experiences are sometimes implausible. Abe was not initially keen to fight in Europe. After the United States declared war, he supposedly tried to avoid service by dressing in drag and playing for [[Springfield Floozies|a women's baseball team]] in 1942, which kept him from serving for a year before he was eventually discovered.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Later on, he and his unit served in {{w|The Battle of the Bulge}}, where he nearly succeeded in assassinating Hitler (though Montgomery Burns thwarted it at the last moment). Almost a year later, they invade an abandoned castle owned by the Nazis and flushed the Nazis out, though Montgomery tries to remove some paintings. Although he opposed the decision, and was morally against the idea, he ended up deciding to let Burns do it, though only so he might have a nest-egg after retirement. After &quot;liberating&quot; a stash of priceless art from the Nazis, Abe's unit (the [[Flying Hellfish]]) formed a tontine, and buried the art in a trunk at sea. Decades later, [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] tried to murder Abe in order to get the art, prompting Abe to violate the tontine. When Abe and Bart retrieve the art from Burns after a spectacular confrontation, the State Department arrives to give the art to their &quot;rightful&quot; owner, [[Baron von Wörtzenburger]], a snooty young German aristocrat (this part implies this did actually happen).<br /> <br /> Abe fathered an illegitimate daughter in the [[United Kingdom]] the day before he joined the D-Day operations in {{w|Normandy}}. Years later, Abe and his family met his daughter, lending further credence to the idea he served in Europe. Moreover, he once showed Bart and Lisa an album with photos of Germans killed by his platoon. He was also awarded the Iron Cross for accidentally directing U.S. jeeps into Nazi minefields. Another piece of information to support this idea is the fact he visited [[Simpson &amp; Son Pub|O'Flanagan's Pub]]in Ireland a long time ago in his WWII sergeant's uniform.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe once dressed as a woman dancer in disguise and made sexual motions toward Adolf Hitler, but when he leaned in, one of the fruits in his bra fell on the stage and Adolf Hitler gagged.<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the navy ====<br /> Abe also claims to have served in the Navy during World War II. He served as a pilot on an aircraft carrier with his brother, Cyrus, and Montgomery Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpsons Christmas Stories]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also served on a destroyer called the USS ''World War One'' during World War II. The USS World War One was sunk by a heat seeking torpedo they fired the other day. After the ship sunk, Abe and his fellow sailors rode on the back of sharks to avoid being eaten by them and had them swim in formation to spell a rescue message. It is also implied they tamed and befriended the sharks in question as a result.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Abraham also says he served on PT boat 109, where he heard John F. Kennedy speaking in German (&quot;Ich bin ein Berliner&quot;). Abe proclaimed Kenendy was a Nazi and he and the fellow sailors tackled Kennedy.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson Tide]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He boasts of having been a watchman at Pearl Harbor (falling asleep on duty), and claims President {{w|Grover Cleveland}} spanked him on two nonconsecutive occasions.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Two Bad Neighbors]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Also, in 1947, he met future Itchy creator and bum [[Chester J. Lampwick]], and he offered him a plate of corn muffins under the condition Lampwick paint his chicken coop. However, he never did, resulting in Abe carrying a grudge against him for many years. Lampwick later revealed this was because the corn muffins were &quot;lousy.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Day the Violence Died]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life in the air force====<br /> [[File:Mona1950s.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Abe and Mona in the 1950s.]]<br /> In the 1950s, Abe joined the air force. Here, he met his future wife, Mona, a cocktail waitress at the main diner near the base, where she was known as Sunny. Abe fell in love with Mona, but wasn't brave enough to attract her attention, so he stopped his regular maintenance job and took a supersonic flight that nearly killed him, but won Mona over.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Let's Go Fly a Coot]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Fatherhood ====<br /> [[File:Abe mona.png|left|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona's wedding day]]<br /> Afterwards, he went to the carnival, and encountered a prostitute, thus resulting in the procreation of his illegitimate son, Herb Powell. He married Mona and, after having a bit of his tonic with her, they made love and accidentally procreated Homer Simpson. Mona, shortly after Homer's birth, made Abe swear not to tell Homer he has a half brother. He continued to use the Simpson farm until the bank foreclosed the farm due to the cows producing sour milk, theorizing something must have spooked them good. (Unknown to Abe, the reason why the cows were spooked was Homer traumatized them by running around and yelling at them.) When Homer aspired to become President of the United States (more specifically President Kennedy), Abe beat Homer down for thinking Homer even had a chance of becoming President.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; After moving from the farm, they settled in an apartment, and watched the third Super Bowl, which indirectly made him responsible for his wife becoming a hippie. He was dragged to [[Wikipedia:Woodstock Festival|Woodstock]], and after scolding Homer for emulating the hippie lifestyle, attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War. After Mona was forced to run away from home after destroying Mr. Burns's Germ Warfare Lab, he lied to Homer by claiming Mona died when he was at the movies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Mother Simpson]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He started work at [[Spiro's]] and wrote songs. [[Rita LaFleur]] heard his songs, liked them, she starting singing his songs, and they married. When Rita was going to go on a tour of Europe, Abe stayed in the U.S. to raise Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Gone Abie Gone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Rise to fame ====<br /> The whole family went on a visit to Wet 'N' Wacky World. When the rest of the family were watching [[Slimu]], Grampa stayed on a shark bench and recalled how he once rode a shark. Then a newspaper columnist named [[Marshall Goldman]] turned up, and was interested in his stories. Soon the whole of [[Springfield]] was reading them. Despite being offered a chance for [[Mitch Albom]] to write about him, Grampa sticks with Marshall, constantly with him writing what he says. Homer comes to visit his father, but Abe rejects him. While Homer is submitting a column to the shopper about [[Mr. Burns]] (who Homer uses as an adoptive father to get back at Abe), he sneaks into Marshall's office, and finds out Marshall is planning to kill Abe at precisely 3pm on the Tinseltown Starliner, and even has the article and award application ready. Meanwhile at Springfield Union Station, Abe is aboard the train with Marshall, and despite Homer's many attempts to warn him, Abe has no idea because of hearing problems. When he is sleeping, Marshall is just about to suffocate him when Homer jumps aboard and stops him, not expecting Marshall to pull out a knife, and retrieve a gun form the pillow. They both wrestle for control of the gun when Abe gets up and hits Marshall on the head with a bottle, but this has no effect. When putting his hands up to surrender, he grabs the trains emergency brake lever, which sends Marshall flying back and causes him to be crushed by luggage. Both Homer and Grampa embrace, and the family is back together. In the end Abe decides to let Homer tell the story of how he saved Homer's life (his first ramble) and Homer ends up talking about Godzilla and The Rolling Stones.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursday's With Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe also showed he is good at sporting activities even though he is old, winning the Senior Olympics.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life today ====<br /> [[File:Abefolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Grampa's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]<br /> Due to his apparent senility, Abe is often ignored by Homer and other family members, and is alternatively content with this, resentful of this, or completely unaware of his being ignored. Abe is very friendly with Jasper and the Jewish Old Man. Like Hans Moleman, Abe often appears in recurring gags. He is also very unlucky and forgetful at times sometimes forgetting where he lives or where his son lives. Abe also had many affairs with lots of women, such as Beatrice Simmons in the episode &quot;Old Money&quot; where she died and left Abe an inheritance of $106,000. He also married Selma in the episode &quot;Rome-old and Juli-Eh&quot;. Abe also had many relatives in The Simpsons he mentioned in his stories several times. Abe also acted as a good father to Homer at times and also acted as a good grandfather to Bart and Lisa. However, he does not like cheekiness from Homer, Bart, or Lisa. He also demands to be treated right and he reckons he is just as important as the others. He also had an affair with Jackie Bouvier [Marge's mother], who broke up with him after she was wooed by Mr. Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Occupations ====<br /> For forty years, Abe worked as a security guard at a cranberry silo.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Front]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Within his elderly years, he was a Wal-Mart greeter, a cartoon writer, and a traveling salesman of an aphrodisiac.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> ==== Homer ====<br /> Abe was not a particularly caring father to Homer, as evidenced at one point when he tells his son, ''&quot;Homer, you're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!&quot;'' Homer does not normally appear to resent these casual abuses, though in one episode Abe calls Homer an accident, years of pent up anger on Homer's part leads to a temporary estrangement. Homer also takes every opportunity to ignore or reject his father, whom he placed in a dilapidated retirement home. Abe held a variety of postwar jobs, including a farmer in Homer's early childhood until the bank foreclosed. Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked 1950s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family. Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a [[Springfield Retirement Castle|retirement home]] some three weeks later. Abe was also angered about Homer's role in ensuring the [[Trappuccino]] incident, yelling &quot;I'm part of the mob!&quot; when Homer inquired on his safety.<br /> <br /> ==== Other family ====<br /> Abraham Simpson is the estranged husband to [[Mona Simpson]], father to [[Homer Simpson]], father-in-law to [[Marge Simpson]] and grandfather to siblings [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]. He also fathered two illegitimate children; a daughter named [[Abbie]] by a British lady named [[Edwina]] while in England during World War II and [[Herbert Powell]] with a carnival hooker. He was briefly married to [[Amber Simpson|Amber]], the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge. Also in [[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]], the family tree shows his parents' names to be [[Orville Simpson]] and [[Yuma Hickman]]. Abe's brother [[Cyrus Simpson|Cyrus]] lives in Tahiti with multiple wives.<br /> <br /> ==== Mona ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Mona present.PNG|right|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona are reunited during Mona's return to Springfield.]]<br /> He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching {{w|Joe Namath}} on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab owned by Montgomery Burns. Abe had no interest in this, instead focusing on the TV. Abe tells a six-year-old Homer Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe would point out her supposed grave (which actually belonged to [[Walt Whitman]]) every time the family drove past it. However, after Homer went to the Springfield Hall of Records to prove he was still alive (after faking his death in order to avoid having work on Saturday), he learnt from the record that his mother was still alive. <br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> [[File:Springfield Retirement Castle.png|left|200px|thumb|The Springfield Retirement Castle, Abe's home.]]<br /> Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]]; a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people (a sign near the entrance says &quot;Thank you for not discussing the outside world&quot;). Abe also informs Lisa residents are not allowed to read newspapers because &quot;they angry up the blood&quot;. His closest friend appears to be [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]], a fellow Retirement Castle resident.<br /> <br /> He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint on his old-fashioned typewriter. He once wrote to the President, complaining there were too many states, and requesting they get rid of three of them (simultaneously insisting he was &quot;not a crackpot&quot;). He also wrote to &quot;the sickos at ''Modern Bride Magazine''&quot; about his disgust at not seeing &quot;one wrinkled face&quot; or &quot;a single toothless grin&quot; in the publication. He also owns a 49-star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of [[Missouri]]: ''&quot;I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura.&quot;''<br /> <br /> He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: &quot;The {{w|metric system}} is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.&quot; Like many of his fellow Retirement Castle residents, Abe is a devoted follower of ''[[Matlock]]''. He even supports tearing down the Simpsons' house in order to complete construction of the proposed &quot;Matlock Expressway&quot;. He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: &quot;I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. It's probably that evil [[wikipedia:Gavin MacLeod|Gavin MacLeod]] or [[wikipedia:George Lindsey|George 'Goober' Lindsey]].&quot; During a ''Matlock'' public appearance, Abe and [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]] swipe Matlock's pills, needed to prevent him from having a spastic heart failure. Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but decided it was alright because &quot;we did have two shows with [[wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]].&quot; He joins the mob when it was revealed Homer contaminated Lake Springfield and barely refrained from killing Marge, Lisa and Bart with a shotgun.<br /> <br /> Grampa also had a habit of telling stories about his past though a lot of the time these stories didn't really happen. Presumably his senility caused him to think he really did have these experiences; alternatively he could have simply been lying about them. However at least one of his stories was true; the one about the Flying Hellfish.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> In [[Treehouse of Horror IV]], in the section Bart Simpson's Dracula, The Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. The Simpsons are eating dinner and Lisa finds out her whole family are vampires, including Grandpa, who pretends to be the head vampire when in reality Marge is. Lisa mistakingly killed Burns but she should've killed Marge.

Burns owns and runs the [[100 Industrial Way|Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]].<br /> <br /> Burns frequently orders his aide, [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]], to &quot;release the hounds,&quot; 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 &quot;only&quot; $996 million, which led to his being demoted from Billionaire Camp to Millionaire Camp.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Burns and the Bees]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Hard Times]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Mr. Burns Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> === Childhood ===<br /> [[File:Young Burns.png|thumb|Burns as a child]]<br /> The Burns family has deep roots in the United States. Burns' date of birth is arguable. He's believed to be 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 &quot;Happy.&quot;<br /> <br /> He used to have a penchant for reading comics as a child (&quot;comical booklets&quot;), but his father didn't like this. Clifford burned down the bought and 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;Dark Knight Court&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Dark Knight Court]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;atom mill&quot; 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;Rosebud&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Rosebud]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Mr burns WW2.jpg|thumb|left|Burns with Abe Simpson during WWII]]<br /> Charles Montgomery Burns later attended [[Yale University]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Baby Burns&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Burns, Baby Burns]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Pre-World War 2 ===<br /> 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;Four Regrettings and a Funeral&quot;&gt;&quot;[[Four Regrettings and a Funeral]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;Baby Burns&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> === World War II ===<br /> 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 &quot;my shells worked, dammit!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[A Star Is Burns]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in &quot;The Curse of the Flying Hellfish&quot;]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:MrBurnsVest.gif|thumb|Mr Burns showing off his expensive clothing]]<br /> <br /> === Post World War II ===<br /> 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]].&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Trouble with Trillions]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Burns SS Card.png|thumb|left|Montgomery Burns revealing he was a member of the SS]]<br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Them, Robot]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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.<br /> <br /> 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<br /> [[File:Evil Burns.png|thumb|Mr. Burns in his typical evil mood]]<br /> <br /> == Character ==<br /> === Personality ===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Although Mr. Burns has a vast amount of money, he doesn't do charity, and simply releases &quot;The Hounds&quot; at any charity collectors coming to his mansion.<br /> <br /> Mr. Burns seems to enjoy bossing his assistant, Waylon Smithers, Jr., to do everything for him, from getting him dressed to driving him about.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ketchup Catsup.png|thumb|Mr Burns struggles to understand Ketchup and Catsup]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Smithers, come here, I want you.&quot;, a take on what are reputedly the first words spoken by Alexander Graham Bell on his telephone (&quot;Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you&quot;).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]] (&quot;have the Rolling Stones killed&quot;), 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.<br /> <br /> Mr. Burns' investment portfolio includes long-defunct shares in &quot;Confederated Slaveholdings, Transatlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's Inflammable Powder, U.S. Hay&quot;, and an &quot;up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company&quot;.<br /> <br /> Burns commonly refers to deceased persons as if they were alive, including Al Jolson, Tallulah Bankhead, Louise Brooks, Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, and Mordecai &quot;Three Finger&quot; Brown.<br /> <br /> He also believes some social institutions and inventions are novel or nonexistent, such as musicals about &quot;the common cat&quot; and &quot;the King of Siam&quot;, the Packard automobile, the Fire Department, ice cream (or &quot;iced cream&quot;), vending machines, recycling, strip clubs, the DuMont, the word &quot;into&quot;, 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.<br /> [[File:Springfield Nuclear Power Plant 3.png|thumb|right|Mr Burns' office]]<br /> <br /> === Health ===<br /> [[File:Mr burns hurts homer.jpg|thumb|left|Mr. Burns strangling Homer, in a menacing fashion]]<br /> 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 &quot;Three Stooges Syndrome&quot; 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.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Mansion Family&quot;&gt;&quot;[[The Mansion Family]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;This is shown in [[The Simpsons Movie]].&lt;/ref&gt; 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Regina Monologues]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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.<br /> [[File:Burns' alien.png|thumb|Burns was once mistaken for an alien after his weekly medical treatments.]]<br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Blood Feud]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ==== Medical treatment ====<br /> [[File:Burns in The Fool Monty.png|right|thumb|Mr. Burns when Bart brought him to his home after he tried to kill himself]]<br /> 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 &quot;nice.&quot; 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 &quot;nice&quot; 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 &quot;re-balled&quot;. Burns' knees are also sent out to be repaired at a &quot;shop.&quot; His dentures replace themselves.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Springfield Files]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In the future, Burns may be kept alive by cryonics.<br /> <br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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).<br /> <br /> === Career ===<br /> 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 &quot;League of Evil&quot; - 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&amp;nbsp;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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Kent Brockman]] also credits Burns with having stolen Christmas from 1981 to 1985.<br /> <br /> He was once forced to work in a Sweatshop, along with other billionaires such as [[Artie Ziff]], [[Aristotle Amadopolis]] and [[Rich Texan]].<br /> <br /> He also claims to have participated in the Boston Tea Party.<br /> <br /> Burns has also owned or co-owned a number of business ventures in Springfield, including the [[Monty Burns Casino]] (later demolished),&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Li'l Lisa&quot; recycling (an ocean slurry manufacturing plant),&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Old Man and the Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and [[Burns Slant Drilling Co.]],&lt;ref&gt;. Burns owned this in &quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Burns Media, the electric company, the water works and even a hotel on Baltic Avenue.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In ''The Simpsons: Hit &amp; 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.<br /> [[File:Homer the Smithers.jpg|thumb|right|Burns' bedroom in Burns Manor]]<br /> <br /> === Residence ===<br /> {{main|Burns Manor}}<br /> 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 &quot;The Hounds&quot;, one of whom is named [[Winston]]. <br /> [[File:Burns' manor.png|thumb|left|Burns Manor]]<br /> 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&lt;ref&gt;The Simpsons Movie&lt;/ref&gt;), 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]].<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;suckers&quot; in it.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> 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 &quot;feel her up&quot; during the Depression.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Burns caught the attention of [[Selma Bouvier]] when she discovered he's single.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Monty Can't Buy Love]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Burns and Gloria.PNG|thumb|Burns and Gloria]]<br /> 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.&amp;nbsp;Burns anyway). According to a family tree:<br /> <br /> :Charles Montgomery Burns was born to Clifford Burns and Daphne Charle (hence the name ''Charles''),<br /> :Clifford Burns was born to Wainwright Montgomery Burns and [[Evelyn Graycomb]].<br /> :Evelyn Graycomb was born to [[Otto Graycomb]] and Lolly Dubois.<br /> :Lolly Dubois was born to Lance Dubois and [[Clarice Stemple]].<br /> :Clarice Stemple is the sister of [[Gaylord Stemple]].<br /> :Gaylord Stemple married [[Trixie Simpson]].<br /> :Trixie Simpson is the Granddaughter of [[Sven Simpson]].<br /> :Sven Simpson is the great, great, great, great, great Grandfather of Homer Simpson.<br /> <br /> Mr. Burns' great-great-grandmother's sister-in-law's 4th great-grandson is Homer Simpson.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> When he was asked the cause of his parents' deaths, he replied: &quot;Got in my way&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;The Mansion Family&quot;/&gt; His mother was seen at least once.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Organizations ===<br /> [[File:Two Cars.png|thumb|right|Mr Burns is served a three eyed fish while running for governor]]<br /> 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 &quot;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 &quot;Excluders Club&quot;, 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.<br /> <br /> 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.&amp;nbsp; At the following year's retreat,&amp;nbsp; it was discovered he was no longer a billionaire.&amp;nbsp; He was ejected from the camp, and thrown over a wall into the slack-jawed millionaire's camp.&lt;ref&gt;The Burns and the Bees&lt;/ref&gt;&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;This happens in [[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Burns was a Freemason &quot;before it was trendy.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Gone Maggie Gone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> [[File:Treehouse of Horror IV promo.gif|thumb|right|&quot;Count&quot; Burns in [[Treehouse of Horror IV]]]]<br /> <br /> <br /> === The Future ===<br /> [[File:Robo Burns.png|thumb|Burns as a head on legs]]<br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lisa's Wedding]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; 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).&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Holidays of Future Passed]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Billions of years into the future, Burns lives in the form of a partial android with his robot dog sidekick Smithers. Burns' head misplaces his teddy, [[Bobo]] every century.&lt;ref name=&quot;Rosebud&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> ==== Count Burns ====<br /> Burns is a vampire but no one believes Lisa. She and Bart find Mr. Burns's secret lair which can be accessed by a staircase that has a lever which doubles as a fun slide and Bart (while fleeing from a horde of vampires) says &quot;I shouldn't... But when am I going to be back here?&quot; is turned into a vampire after pulling the lever. The Simpsons are then worried that Bart could get worse and The Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. Homer kills Burns but gets fired in the process.<br /> <br /> ==== Lord Montymort ====<br /> :''See [[Lord Montymort|here]]''<br /> <br /> === Video games ===<br /> ==== The Simpsons: The Arcade Game ====<br /> Mr. Burns appears as the final boss in this game, operating a giant mechanical robot from within that changes form with the damage it receives from the Simpsons characters. He also was the one who orchestrated Smither's theft of a diamond, which also indirectly made him responsible for Maggie's kidnapping as well, as Smithers ended up kidnapping Maggie due to the diamond that he stole was knocked towards Maggie and she started using it as a Pacifier. After being defeated, Mr. Burns is knocked unconscious and Maggie then places her old pacifier into Mr. Burns' mouth.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons Road Rage ====<br /> In [[The Simpsons Road Rage]], Mr. Burns buys out the Springfield transit system and turns them into nuclear buses. In one of the missions it is also said that he buys out the Springfield Shopper. Also if you drive in the Springfield Mountains you can drive into Burns' manor. In the last mission you have to battle Mr. Burns as Homer, where Homer has smash the statues in Burns' garden. Also in the second mission you have to dodge him. In every single road rage or Sunday drive he tries and hit you with his car. If you use a cheat you can drive his car, a nuclear bus or even Mr. Burns driving a brick. In the downtown location you can see his bus depot. One of the other locations is his nuclear power plant.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown ====<br /> In [[The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown]], Mr. Burns is shown telling [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] where [[Plopper|Spider Pig]] went.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Hit &amp; Run ====<br /> In [[The Simpsons: Hit &amp; Run]], you can drive to the nuclear power plant in the first level. In the last level, you can climb up to Mr. Burns' office. You also see him in one level and can eventually drive his car if you complete the bonus mission in Level 7.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons Game ====<br /> In the level {{ap|Lisa the Tree Hugger|The Simpsons Game}}, the player stops Mr. Burns from destroying the ecosystem. Burns plans to cut down every tree in Springfield and turn each one into a single luxury toothpick. When the logging facility is destroyed, Mr. Burns has Smithers phone in some goons to rough up [[Al Gore]] to make himself feel better. In [[Medal of Homer]], a younger version of Burns steals paintings from the village of St. Capitulons and protects them on board his personal naval carrier with a squad of sailors resembling Smithers.<br /> <br /> ==== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ====<br /> {{Main|Charles Montgomery Burns/Tapped Out}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> [[File:Homer's Odyssey (Mr. Burns Looking Out the Window).png|thumb|Mr Burns' appearance in [[Homer's Odyssey]]]]<br /> === Creation ===<br /> 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 &quot;embodiment of corporate greed&quot;. 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 &quot;There's No Disgrace Like Home&quot; 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 &quot;Excellent!&quot; hand gesture from his former Saturday Night Live colleague Jim Downey.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]&quot;, Al Jean and [[Mike Reiss]] referred to him as &quot;Mr. Meanie&quot;.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> === Voice ===<br /> Burns was originally voiced by actor Christopher Collins in the episode &quot;[[Homer's Odyssey]]&quot;. 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 &quot;like[s] Mr. Burns because he is pure evil. A lot of evil people make the mistake of diluting it. Never adulterate your evil.&quot;<br /> [[File:Mr burns action figure.jpg|thumb|A Mr. Burns action figure]]<br /> <br /> === Age ===<br /> Mr. Burns' age has fluctuated during the course of the show, being explicitly stated he was 81 in &quot;[[Simpson and Delilah]]&quot; and as old as 104 in &quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]&quot;, &quot;[[Homer the Smithers]]&quot; and &quot;[[A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love]]&quot;. In the episode &quot;[[Fraudcast News]]&quot;, 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 &quot;Springfield's oldest resident&quot; with a Social Security number of 000-00-0002 (damning Roosevelt for having 0001).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Also, in the one time appearance of his &quot;league of evil&quot;, 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 dates him considerably prior to his birth, especially the morning star, since this hasnt been a widely used weapon since the late medieval era.<br /> <br /> In an issue of ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'', Smithers states Mr. Burns is 118 years old.{{Fact}}<br /> <br /> Burns's wine cellar also has trophy heads of a T-Rex, a Pteranodon, a Triceratops, a Stegosaurus and an unidentified sauropod. By chance these exact species were the beast modes of the G1 Dinobots (Grimlock, Swoop, Slag, Snarl and Sludge).<br /> <br /> However, because his mother, who is currently alive, is in her 120s, Burns would have to be younger.<br /> <br /> Burns' age provides the writers a character with which they can express dated humor and references to popular culture before the 1950s.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In &quot;[[Them, Robot]]&quot;, Homer asked for his ''real'' age, and he said it had 4 digits, but was interrupted before he finished.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In &quot;[[The Man in the Blue Flannel Pants]]&quot; he said he was a passenger on the ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]''.<br /> <br /> === Foreign dubs ===<br /> {{Dub voices<br /> |daVoice={{W|da:Søren Ulrichs|Søren Ulrichs}} (movie)<br /> |esLAVoice=Miguel Ángel Botello (since [[season 16]])&lt;br&gt;{{W|Gabriel Chávez}} (Seasons [[Season 1|1]] to [[Season 15|15]])<br /> |poVoice={{W|pl:Mirosław Konarowski|Mirosław Konarowski}}<br /> |svVoice={{W|sv:Anders Öjebo|Anders Öjebo}} (''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'')<br /> |huVoice={{W|hu:Balázs Szuhay|Balázs Szuhay}}† (Season 1–8(?)&lt;br/&gt;István Rudas (Season 8– )<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> {{scroll|<br /> *{{ep|Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Odyssey}}<br /> *{{ep|There's No Disgrace Like Home}}<br /> *{{ep|The Telltale Head}}<br /> *{{ep|Life on the Fast Lane}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Night Out}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets an &quot;F&quot;}}<br /> *{{ep|Simpson and Delilah}}<br /> *{{ep|Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish}}<br /> *{{ep|Dancin' Homer}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart vs. Thanksgiving}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets Hit by a Car}}<br /> *{{ep|One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment}}<br /> *{{ep|Old Money}}<br /> *{{ep|Brush with Greatness}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Substitute}}<br /> *{{ep|The War of the Simpsons}}<br /> *{{ep|Blood Feud}}<br /> *{{ep|Stark Raving Dad}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart the Murderer}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Defined}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror II}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Pony}}<br /> *{{ep|Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk}}<br /> *{{ep|I Married Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Radio Bart}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Greek}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Alone}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer at the Bat}}<br /> *{{ep|Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?}}<br /> *{{ep|Kamp Krusty}}<br /> *{{ep|A Streetcar Named Marge}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Heretic}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa the Beauty Queen}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror III}}<br /> *{{ep|Itchy &amp; Scratchy: The Movie}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge Gets a Job}}<br /> *{{ep|New Kid on the Block}}<br /> *{{ep|Mr. Plow}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Triple Bypass}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge vs. the Monorail}}<br /> *{{ep|Selma's Choice}}<br /> *{{ep|Brother from the Same Planet}}<br /> *{{ep|I Love Lisa}}<br /> *{{ep|Last Exit to Springfield}}<br /> *{{ep|So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show}}<br /> *{{ep|The Front}}<br /> *{{ep|Whacking Day}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge in Chains}}<br /> *{{ep|Krusty Gets Kancelled}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer's Barbershop Quartet}}<br /> *{{ep|Cape Feare}}<br /> *{{ep|Rosebud}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror IV}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge on the Lam}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart's Inner Child}}<br /> *{{ep|Boy-Scoutz 'N the Hood}}<br /> *{{ep|The Last Temptation of Homer}}<br /> *{{ep|$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Vigilante}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets Famous}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer and Apu}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy}}<br /> *{{ep|Deep Space Homer}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Loves Flanders}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart Gets an Elephant}}<br /> *{{ep|Burns' Heir}}<br /> *{{ep|Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song}}<br /> *{{ep|The Boy Who Knew Too Much}}<br /> *{{ep|Lady Bouvier's Lover}}<br /> *{{ep|Secrets of a Successful Marriage}}<br /> *{{ep|Bart of Darkness}}<br /> *{{ep|Another Simpsons Clip Show}}<br /> *{{ep|Sideshow Bob Roberts}}<br /> *{{THOH|Treehouse of Horror V}}<br /> *{{ep|Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer the Great}}<br /> *{{ep|A Star Is Burns}}<br /> *{{ep|Lisa's Wedding}}<br /> *{{ep|Two Dozen and One Greyhounds}}<br /> *{{ep|'Round Springfield}}<br /> *{{ep|The Springfield Connection}}<br /> *{{ep|Who Shot Mr. Burns?

He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> [[File:Grampa Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> Almost all of Grampa's biographical information is supplied by himself. Many of his stories seem to be wildly inaccurate, often physically or historically impossible, and occasionally inconsistent even with each other, suggesting Abe is senile. (Though his reaction to [[Bart]]'s reaction to one of his stories implies he is aware he is being inconsistent.) As such, all information provided is taken with a grain of salt. He is a member of the [[Stonecutters]], masons, communists, as well as being president of the gay and lesbian party for some reason. Additionally, he suffers from sporadic narcoleptic attacks.<br /> <br /> === History ===<br /> [[File:Gorgeous Grampa artwork.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Abraham as &quot;Glamorous Godfrey&quot;]]<br /> ==== Childhood ====<br /> Abraham Jedediah Simpson, perennially known as &quot;Grampa&quot; Simpson, was born in the &quot;Old Country&quot;; he apparently does not remember which country exactly. Most likely it was Canada, as that is where his great-great-grandparents immigrated in 1860 to avoid being arrested for helping a slave ([[Virgil Simpson|his great-great-grandfather]], to be precise) escape. Abe claims, when he was a young boy, he immigrated to America with his parents, and moved into the Statue of Liberty. For a few years they lived here, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Much Apu About Nothing]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also says he served in the first World War and had to lie about his age, being around five at the time.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Special Edna]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He worked as a shoeshine boy at [[Springfield Union Station]], and claims a not-yet-famous [[Clark Gable]] was one of his customers, whom he gave his copy of ''Gone With the Wind''.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the army ====<br /> In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Abe was participating in the javelin event. His throw nearly hit [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]], watching in the stands. Luckily, (for Hitler) it missed and hit the man about to assassinate him. At a later date, Grampa claimed he and Hitler laughed about it.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;&gt;[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Simpson Flying Hellfish.png|thumb|left|200px|Abe fighting for the Flying Hellfish.]]<br /> <br /> Abe's recollections of his [[World War II]] experiences are sometimes implausible. Abe was not initially keen to fight in Europe. After the United States declared war, he supposedly tried to avoid service by dressing in drag and playing for [[Springfield Floozies|a women's baseball team]] in 1942, which kept him from serving for a year before he was eventually discovered.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Later on, he and his unit served in {{w|The Battle of the Bulge}}, where he nearly succeeded in assassinating Hitler (though Montgomery Burns thwarted it at the last moment). Almost a year later, they invade an abandoned castle owned by the Nazis and flushed the Nazis out, though Montgomery tries to remove some paintings. Although he opposed the decision, and was morally against the idea, he ended up deciding to let Burns do it, though only so he might have a nest-egg after retirement. After &quot;liberating&quot; a stash of priceless art from the Nazis, Abe's unit (the [[Flying Hellfish]]) formed a tontine, and buried the art in a trunk at sea. Decades later, [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] tried to murder Abe in order to get the art, prompting Abe to violate the tontine. When Abe and Bart retrieve the art from Burns after a spectacular confrontation, the State Department arrives to give the art to their &quot;rightful&quot; owner, [[Baron von Wörtzenburger]], a snooty young German aristocrat (this part implies this did actually happen).<br /> <br /> Abe fathered an illegitimate daughter in the [[United Kingdom]] the day before he joined the D-Day operations in {{w|Normandy}}. Years later, Abe and his family met his daughter, lending further credence to the idea he served in Europe. Moreover, he once showed Bart and Lisa an album with photos of Germans killed by his platoon. He was also awarded the Iron Cross for accidentally directing U.S. jeeps into Nazi minefields. Another piece of information to support this idea is the fact he visited [[Simpson &amp; Son Pub|O'Flanagan's Pub]]in Ireland a long time ago in his WWII sergeant's uniform.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe once dressed as a woman dancer in disguise and made sexual motions toward Adolf Hitler, but when he leaned in, one of the fruits in his bra fell on the stage and Adolf Hitler gagged.<br /> <br /> ==== Life in the navy ====<br /> Abe also claims to have served in the Navy during World War II. He served as a pilot on an aircraft carrier with his brother, Cyrus, and Montgomery Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpsons Christmas Stories]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He also served on a destroyer called the USS ''World War One'' during World War II. The USS World War One was sunk by a heat seeking torpedo they fired the other day. After the ship sunk, Abe and his fellow sailors rode on the back of sharks to avoid being eaten by them and had them swim in formation to spell a rescue message. It is also implied they tamed and befriended the sharks in question as a result.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursdays with Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Abraham also says he served on PT boat 109, where he heard John F. Kennedy speaking in German (&quot;Ich bin ein Berliner&quot;). Abe proclaimed Kenendy was a Nazi and he and the fellow sailors tackled Kennedy.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Simpson Tide]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He boasts of having been a watchman at Pearl Harbor (falling asleep on duty), and claims President {{w|Grover Cleveland}} spanked him on two nonconsecutive occasions.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Two Bad Neighbors]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Also, in 1947, he met future Itchy creator and bum [[Chester J. Lampwick]], and he offered him a plate of corn muffins under the condition Lampwick paint his chicken coop. However, he never did, resulting in Abe carrying a grudge against him for many years. Lampwick later revealed this was because the corn muffins were &quot;lousy.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Day the Violence Died]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life in the air force====<br /> [[File:Mona1950s.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Abe and Mona in the 1950s.]]<br /> In the 1950s, Abe joined the air force. Here, he met his future wife, Mona, a cocktail waitress at the main diner near the base, where she was known as Sunny. Abe fell in love with Mona, but wasn't brave enough to attract her attention, so he stopped his regular maintenance job and took a supersonic flight that nearly killed him, but won Mona over.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Let's Go Fly a Coot]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Fatherhood ====<br /> [[File:Abe mona.png|left|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona's wedding day]]<br /> Afterwards, he went to the carnival, and encountered a prostitute, thus resulting in the procreation of his illegitimate son, Herb Powell. He married Mona and, after having a bit of his tonic with her, they made love and accidentally procreated Homer Simpson. Mona, shortly after Homer's birth, made Abe swear not to tell Homer he has a half brother. He continued to use the Simpson farm until the bank foreclosed the farm due to the cows producing sour milk, theorizing something must have spooked them good. (Unknown to Abe, the reason why the cows were spooked was Homer traumatized them by running around and yelling at them.) When Homer aspired to become President of the United States (more specifically President Kennedy), Abe beat Homer down for thinking Homer even had a chance of becoming President.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; After moving from the farm, they settled in an apartment, and watched the third Super Bowl, which indirectly made him responsible for his wife becoming a hippie. He was dragged to [[Wikipedia:Woodstock Festival|Woodstock]], and after scolding Homer for emulating the hippie lifestyle, attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War. After Mona was forced to run away from home after destroying Mr. Burns's Germ Warfare Lab, he lied to Homer by claiming Mona died when he was at the movies.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Mother Simpson]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He started work at [[Spiro's]] and wrote songs. [[Rita LaFleur]] heard his songs, liked them, she starting singing his songs, and they married. When Rita was going to go on a tour of Europe, Abe stayed in the U.S. to raise Homer.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Gone Abie Gone]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Rise to fame ====<br /> The whole family went on a visit to Wet 'N' Wacky World. When the rest of the family were watching [[Slimu]], Grampa stayed on a shark bench and recalled how he once rode a shark. Then a newspaper columnist named [[Marshall Goldman]] turned up, and was interested in his stories. Soon the whole of [[Springfield]] was reading them. Despite being offered a chance for [[Mitch Albom]] to write about him, Grampa sticks with Marshall, constantly with him writing what he says. Homer comes to visit his father, but Abe rejects him. While Homer is submitting a column to the shopper about [[Mr. Burns]] (who Homer uses as an adoptive father to get back at Abe), he sneaks into Marshall's office, and finds out Marshall is planning to kill Abe at precisely 3pm on the Tinseltown Starliner, and even has the article and award application ready. Meanwhile at Springfield Union Station, Abe is aboard the train with Marshall, and despite Homer's many attempts to warn him, Abe has no idea because of hearing problems. When he is sleeping, Marshall is just about to suffocate him when Homer jumps aboard and stops him, not expecting Marshall to pull out a knife, and retrieve a gun form the pillow. They both wrestle for control of the gun when Abe gets up and hits Marshall on the head with a bottle, but this has no effect. When putting his hands up to surrender, he grabs the trains emergency brake lever, which sends Marshall flying back and causes him to be crushed by luggage. Both Homer and Grampa embrace, and the family is back together. In the end Abe decides to let Homer tell the story of how he saved Homer's life (his first ramble) and Homer ends up talking about Godzilla and The Rolling Stones.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Thursday's With Abie]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Abe also showed he is good at sporting activities even though he is old, winning the Senior Olympics.&lt;ref name=&quot;Moe'N'a Lisa&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Life today ====<br /> [[File:Abefolder.PNG|thumbnail|left|Grampa's character folder in the Hall of Records on The Simpsons website.]]<br /> Due to his apparent senility, Abe is often ignored by Homer and other family members, and is alternatively content with this, resentful of this, or completely unaware of his being ignored. Abe is very friendly with Jasper and the Jewish Old Man. Like Hans Moleman, Abe often appears in recurring gags. He is also very unlucky and forgetful at times sometimes forgetting where he lives or where his son lives. Abe also had many affairs with lots of women, such as Beatrice Simmons in the episode &quot;Old Money&quot; where she died and left Abe an inheritance of $106,000. He also married Selma in the episode &quot;Rome-old and Juli-Eh&quot;. Abe also had many relatives in The Simpsons he mentioned in his stories several times. Abe also acted as a good father to Homer at times and also acted as a good grandfather to Bart and Lisa. However, he does not like cheekiness from Homer, Bart, or Lisa. He also demands to be treated right and he reckons he is just as important as the others. He also had an affair with Jackie Bouvier [Marge's mother], who broke up with him after she was wooed by Mr. Burns.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Occupations ====<br /> For forty years, Abe worked as a security guard at a cranberry silo.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Front]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Within his elderly years, he was a Wal-Mart greeter, a cartoon writer, and a traveling salesman of an aphrodisiac.<br /> <br /> === Relationships ===<br /> ==== Homer ====<br /> Abe was not a particularly caring father to Homer, as evidenced at one point when he tells his son, ''&quot;Homer, you're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!&quot;'' Homer does not normally appear to resent these casual abuses, though in one episode Abe calls Homer an accident, years of pent up anger on Homer's part leads to a temporary estrangement. Homer also takes every opportunity to ignore or reject his father, whom he placed in a dilapidated retirement home. Abe held a variety of postwar jobs, including a farmer in Homer's early childhood until the bank foreclosed. Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked 1950s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family. Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a [[Springfield Retirement Castle|retirement home]] some three weeks later. Abe was also angered about Homer's role in ensuring the [[Trappuccino]] incident, yelling &quot;I'm part of the mob!&quot; when Homer inquired on his safety.<br /> <br /> ==== Other family ====<br /> Abraham Simpson is the estranged husband to [[Mona Simpson]], father to [[Homer Simpson]], father-in-law to [[Marge Simpson]] and grandfather to siblings [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]. He also fathered two illegitimate children; a daughter named [[Abbie]] by a British lady named [[Edwina]] while in England during World War II and [[Herbert Powell]] with a carnival hooker. He was briefly married to [[Amber Simpson|Amber]], the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge. Also in [[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]], the family tree shows his parents' names to be [[Orville Simpson]] and [[Yuma Hickman]]. Abe's brother [[Cyrus Simpson|Cyrus]] lives in Tahiti with multiple wives.<br /> <br /> ==== Mona ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Abe Mona present.PNG|right|200px|thumb|Abe and Mona are reunited during Mona's return to Springfield.]]<br /> He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching {{w|Joe Namath}} on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab owned by Montgomery Burns. Abe had no interest in this, instead focusing on the TV. Abe tells a six-year-old Homer Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe would point out her supposed grave (which actually belonged to [[Walt Whitman]]) every time the family drove past it. However, after Homer went to the Springfield Hall of Records to prove he was still alive (after faking his death in order to avoid having work on Saturday), he learnt from the record that his mother was still alive. <br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> [[File:Springfield Retirement Castle.png|left|200px|thumb|The Springfield Retirement Castle, Abe's home.]]<br /> Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]]; a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people (a sign near the entrance says &quot;Thank you for not discussing the outside world&quot;). Abe also informs Lisa residents are not allowed to read newspapers because &quot;they angry up the blood&quot;. His closest friend appears to be [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]], a fellow Retirement Castle resident.<br /> <br /> He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint on his old-fashioned typewriter. He once wrote to the President, complaining there were too many states, and requesting they get rid of three of them (simultaneously insisting he was &quot;not a crackpot&quot;). He also wrote to &quot;the sickos at ''Modern Bride Magazine''&quot; about his disgust at not seeing &quot;one wrinkled face&quot; or &quot;a single toothless grin&quot; in the publication. He also owns a 49-star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of [[Missouri]]: ''&quot;I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura.&quot;''<br /> <br /> He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: &quot;The {{w|metric system}} is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.&quot; Like many of his fellow Retirement Castle residents, Abe is a devoted follower of ''[[Matlock]]''. He even supports tearing down the Simpsons' house in order to complete construction of the proposed &quot;Matlock Expressway&quot;. He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: &quot;I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. It's probably that evil [[wikipedia:Gavin MacLeod|Gavin MacLeod]] or [[wikipedia:George Lindsey|George 'Goober' Lindsey]].&quot; During a ''Matlock'' public appearance, Abe and [[Jasper Beardly|Jasper]] swipe Matlock's pills, needed to prevent him from having a spastic heart failure. Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but decided it was alright because &quot;we did have two shows with [[wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]].&quot; He joins the mob when it was revealed Homer contaminated Lake Springfield and barely refrained from killing Marge, Lisa and Bart with a shotgun.<br /> <br /> Grampa also had a habit of telling stories about his past though a lot of the time these stories didn't really happen. Presumably his senility caused him to think he really did have these experiences; alternatively he could have simply been lying about them. However at least one of his stories was true; the one about the Flying Hellfish.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon ==<br /> {{Noncanon}}<br /> === Treehouse of Horror ===<br /> In [[Treehouse of Horror IV]], in the section Bart Simpson's Dracula, The Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. The Simpsons are eating dinner and Lisa finds out her whole family are vampires, including Grandpa, who pretends to be the head vampire when in reality Marge is. Lisa mistakingly killed Burns but she should've killed Marge. The Simpsons say Happy Halloween while going through a Charlie Brown Christmas Special ending parody.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons Game ===<br /> He first appears in the level [[Mob Rules]] as one of the people Marge can bring into her mob to protest the sale of the ''Grand Theft Scratchy'' video game to minors. His younger self appears in [[Medal of Homer]] to give Bart and Homer orders as for what to do in each of its three missions.<br /> <br /> === The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===<br /> ==== Default ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Simpsons|Grampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Gorgeous Grampa ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Costumes|GorgeousGrampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Number 111 ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Stonecutters|Number111}}<br /> <br /> ==== Toreador Grampa ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Sporty Oldies|ToreadorGrampa}}<br /> <br /> ==== Hellfish Abe ====<br /> {{TranscludeSection|The Simpsons: Tapped Out characters/Even More Costumes|HellfishAbe}}<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> === Creation ===<br /> Groening famously named the five main Simpson characters after members of his own family: his parents, Homer and Marge (or Marjorie in full), and his younger sisters, Lisa and Margaret (Maggie). Claiming it was a bit too obvious to name a character after himself, he chose the name &quot;Bart,&quot; an anagram of brat.&lt;ref name=&quot;americasfirstfamily&quot;&gt;{{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}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;radiotimes&quot;&gt;{{cite web |last=Duncan |first=Andrew |title=Matt Groening |work=Radio Times | url=http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/other/interviews/groening99c.html | date=September 18–24, 1999 | accessmonthday=September 19 | accessyear=2007}}&lt;/ref&gt; When it came time to give Grampa Simpson a first name, Groening says he refused to name him after his own grandfather, Abraham Groening, leaving it to other writers to choose a name.
