Discus Stu

Character Information Gender: Male ♂ Status: Fictional deceased Hair: Brown First appearance: "Tales from the Public Domain" Voiced by: Hank Azaria v • d • e • h

Discus Stu was among the suitors who appeared when Penelope's husband Odysseus had been gone for many years at the Trojan War, with no one having heard from him.

History

The suitors were lined up to see Penelope, each one of them carrying a present for her. Discus Stu cut to the front of the line and said, "Discus Stu has ouzo for two-zo", referring to the alcoholic drink he had brought with him. Penelope's son Telemachus, pleased at the prospect of his mother having a date, said he would leave the two of them alone. Discus Stu then gestured at Telemachus and said, "Discus Stu was talking to you!" which elicited a shudder from Telemachus.

Behind the Laughter

• Ouzo is an alcoholic beverage commonly served in Greece as an apéritif.
• Discus Stu is a caricature of (and pun on) Disco Stu. He appears only in the "D'oh, Brother Where Art Thou?" segment of "Tales from the Public Domain", a re-telling of the Odyssey in which Homer is cast as Odysseus, Marge as Penelope, Bart as Telemachus and other Springfieldians as the other characters in the story.
• Discus Stu wasn't among the suitors whom Odysseus killed when he finally returned home. It's possible that Stu gave up and moved on once he realized that Telemachus didn't return his interest.
