Yes Guy (or Frank Nelson Type in the official guides, while Homer refers to him as "That jerk who always goes 'Yeeeeees?'")'' is a character known for bellowing “Ye-e-e-es?!” in a rising inflection, and appears to be highly eccentric in both his speech and appearance, voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]].  He says 'Yeeeeees?!' all the time because he had a stroke.
