Difference between revisions of "Mrs. Muntz"

Revision as of 01:27, November 29, 2009

Mrs. Muntz is Nelson's mother. Nelson receives his trademark laugh from her. Earlier, in in the series, Nelson would often mention his parents, and it was often implied that Mrs. Muntz doesn't care for him.

In the episode, "A Milhouse Divided," Nelson tells Milhouse that his mother got hooked on cough drops, which is why his father left the family. In "Bart Star," it is stated that Mrs. Muntz works at Hooters as one of the waitresses. She owns a dilapidated house and is depicted as a jailbird, a whore, a stripper, or something similar. She was first heard (but not seen) on the Season 10 episode, "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken" when Nelson goes to break curfew, and Mrs. Muntz yells, "We're out of Skoal!". She has baige hair (in "The Haw-Hawed Couple, black hair). Her age is unknown. Her occupation is a Hooters waitress.

Mrs. Muntz's first visual appearance was "'Tis the Fifteenth Season" when she tells Nelson that his father simply did not like him, and he left with her golden tooth. Mrs. Muntz was more introduced in "Sleeping with the Enemy." A loud, high-pitched, contemptuous woman, Mrs. Muntz neglects Nelson. She implies that she misses Nelson's father. At the end of the episode, the three Muntzes (Nelson, Mr. Muntz, and Mrs. Muntz) reunite, and she receives a new job as Lady Macbeth, with "the third director she slept with" ("I don't have to take my top off, but I do anyway!").

Since then, she is often seen around in Springfield. Curiously, in Season 18's "The Haw-Hawed Couple," she appears with black hair. As revealed in "Dial 'N' for Nerder," Nelson even refers to her as "Mrs. Muntz." In "No Loan Again Natrually," she has black hair again, and she was kissing Moe. She is voiced by Tress MacNeille.
