Character Information
|
Roofi is a singer and songwriter who creates music that appeals to very young children. Some of his songs are "I Like Ice Cream," "One, Two, Tie Your Shoe," "Helpful Bear on the 28th Floor," "Tickets, Tickets," and a "Nonsense Song." including Maggie. Marge also likes Roofi's music, but Bart and Lisa find it extremely annoying and go to great lengths .
Like many other babies, Maggie liked Roofi's music, and so did Marge. She played Roofi's music non-stop for Maggie, much to the annoyance of Bart and Lisa. In sharp contrast to Maggie, Bart and Lisa coldn't stand Roofi's music and went to great lengths to avoid it, turn it off, or (at the very least) hear it as little as possible. When Marge took Bart and Lisa to school, she had Roofi's music playing on the car stereo for Maggie. When Marge pulled up in front of Springfield Elementary School, Bart and Lisa jumped out and ran to the building before she had even stopped the car. At the end of the school day, Lisa looked out the window and cringed when she saw Marge and Maggie in the car bobbing their heads in time to the music. Bart, for his part, begged Mrs. Krabappel to give him detention to put off having to hear the music again.
Marge took Maggie to see Roofi in an outdoor concert and discovered that the concert had been vastly oversold. Unsupervised babies were everywhere, and when it started raining, a Woodstock-like disaster was the result. The rain made all of the babies start crying, and Roofi's opening act tried to settle them down, but was unsuccessful. Roofi came onto the stage anyway, and started playing. Not only did the babies keep crying, but one of them also threw a rattle at Roofi, hitting him in the face. Roofi then abruptly ended the concert, parodying one of his own songs by saying, "Show's over. Five, six, so long hicks."
Behind the Laughter
- Roofi is a parody of the children's singer Raffi Cavoukian.
- Roofi sounds like the character Fouad from Family Guy.
