Character Information
|
Jonathan "John" Nerdelbaum Frink is the father of Prof. Frink, with whom he never really got along well. He appears in Treehouse of Horror XIV in the segment "Frinkenstein". Frink Jr's mother said they got along like positron]s and antineutrinos. He is voiced by Jerry Lewis who was also the inspiration for Professor Frink. After Frink Jr. wins the Nobel Prize (for devising a hammer with a screwdriver on the other end of it), he expresses the wish that his father was able to see him win. He explains that his father always saw him as a disappointment, and describes his father as a he-man scientist who worked on the atom bomb by day, slept with Marilyn Monroe by night, and sold secrets to the Russians at lunch. He was last seen alive just before he went on a fishing trip. Frink Jr. didn't want to go on this trip because he gets sick ("clean but nauseous") taking a shower. His father, disgusted, left without him. Frink reveals that his father was bitten by a shark while testing a blood-based suntan lotion.
Frink brings his dad back to life, explains that his missing organs have been replaced with machines, and that he has no penis "in the traditional sense". Frink Sr., believing he isn't really alive, goes on an organ theft rampage. Lisa convinces him to get rid of all the stolen organs and go to Stockholm, to see his son win the Nobel prize. After he finishes his speech, he walks around stealing peoples' brains in an effort to gain knowledge. Frink Jr. stops him by kicking him in the crotch. Soon Frink dies again, but Frink Jr puts his soul in "the soul box".
