Blinky is a three-eyed orange fish featured primarily in "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish".
Appearances
Blinky was briefly seen in one of the first full length episodes of the series, "Homer's Odyssey". Blinky, (or rather, some other non-eaten member of his species) has made a variety of other cameo appearances since then, such as in "Homer's Paternity Coot".
Other Versions
This has been done as a recurring joke about the environmental effects of Mr. Burns's power plant, including an appearance as a highly mutated humanoid form. A 3-eyed whale similar to Blinky was seen at the end of "Future-Drama".
Supporting Roles
In the episode "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish", he was caught by Bart Simpson. Mr. Burns defends the fish, saying that it is the next step in evolution, rather than having been mutated by toxic waste pouring out of the sewers and into the river from the nuclear plant. Mr. Burns later goes to the Simpsons's house for a meal to help his race for governor. Marge unexpectedly serves Blinky for dinner. Mr. Burns spits the fish out and loses the election to Mary Bailey.
Pop Culture
The professional wrestler CM Punk has a tattoo of a three eyed koi fish in honor of Blinky. Blinky also made a brief appearance in the pilot episode of the animated series Futurama, which was co-created by Simpsons creator Matt Groening but he was colored green instead of orange.
