"Ooh! I think that fixed my back! (Stretches, hears a loud crack) Oh, no, no. It's much worse."

―The Flying Giuseppe, after being shot out of a cannon at Homer^[src]

The Flying Giuseppe is a human cannonballer who works with a travelling circus. His helmet and costume are white with red symbols on them, and he has a red cape and brown mustache. His cannon is also white with some red markings.

History

While fleeing the police, after Dexter Colt framed her, Lisa and Homer come across a travelling circus which contained the animals that had been stolen from a trashed medical research center, the crime which Lisa had been framed for. After finding the animals, Homer and Lisa were about to tell the police when Colt showed up. Not wanting to get cuaght, he threatened that if the two made any sudden moves they'd get "a bellyful of The Flying Giuseppe." Giuseppe then poked his head out of the cannon and asked "How ya doin'?" He then gave the thumbs up to Colt, who procceeded to fire the cannon at Homer and Lisa. Homer pushed Lisa into a hay pile and took the cannonballer in the gut, which knocked him down. As Giuseppe got up he proclaims hitting Homer might've fixed his back, but after stretching and cracking it, he quickly restates that it's "much worse."

Behind the Laughter

• In the guide book, The Simpsons: One Step Beyond Forever, under Dexter Colt's factfile it states that The Flying Giuseppe is a "Known associate."
• Homer gets hit by Giuseppe, and gets up unhurt, proving that he still has the skills exhibited in "Homerpalooza".
