Character Information
|
Lugash, voiced by Dan Castellaneta, is a gymnastics instructor, based on former U.S. gymnastics coach Béla Károlyi, who has his own gym.
Appearance
He has a thick Romanian accent and a large, brown curled moustache.
Appearances
He has appeared in two episodes, premiering in "Children of a Lesser Clod". Later in "Little Girl in the Big Ten", he teaches Lisa gymnastics so that she won't fail gym.
Origin
His origin is a bit mysterious as he says that he came into the United States in 1983 by cartwheeling over the Berlin Wall. However, another character in a later episode claims that he defected into East Germany.
Training Techniques
His harsh but effective training techniques helped Lisa to achieve a high standard of gymnastic ability. He also has a habit of confiscating his students' cats and dogs, only giving them back when the student has accomplished a physical task. Once however, he refused to give back a girl's dog, but gave her someone else's cat instead.
Anger Management
He goes to anger management classes.
Idiocy
Apparently, he thinks Lisa (who is only eight), is a "grandma". this is probably a joke poking fun at the stereotype of eastern European countries beginning to train possible future Olympic gymnasts at a very young age.
