Bumblebee Man, voiced by Hank Azaria, appears on a television show on "Canal Ocho" dressed in a bumblebee costume. He is a caricature of "El Chapulín Colorado" (The Red Grasshopper), a character created and portrayed by Mexican television comedian Chespirito, and his show consists of simple skits, often involving heavy slapstick. In the episode "Team Homer," his bowling shirt bears the name "Pedro."
In an issue of Simpsons Comics, he states that he is actually from Belgium; however, these comics are generally not considered canon. In other Bongo Comics issues, he quotes Shakespeare.
Bumblebee Man never takes off his costume, even when by himself; the sole exception is the episode "22 Short Films About Springfield", in which Bumblebee Man's private life is shown. In this short segment, he is portrayed as innately clumsy rather than simply acting as such.
In some episodes he has spoken with an articulate British accent, but this was mentioned in an episode commentary as a mistake. In general, Bumblebee Man only speaks in simple, over-enounced Spanish sentences. His catchphrases of choice are typically "Ay, ay, ay, no me gusta!" ('I don't like it!'), "Ay, ay, ay, no es bueno!" ('That's not good!') and "Ay, ay, ay, Dios no me ama!" ('God does not love me!')
