Character Information
|
Lucy McGillicuddy Ricardo Carmichael is a fictional television character.
History
When Lisa began to grow tired from having to clean up after Bart and Homer without any help she met the ghost of Lucy McGillicuddy Ricardo Carmichael, who had an idea on how to get revenge on them. Lucy suggested that Lisa pull a clever prank on Homer and Bart while they are asleep. Lisa agreed and, after the two had fallen asleep, she stuck green poster paint and oatmeal to the men, tricking them into thinking that they had leprosy.
Behind the Laughter
Lucy's surnames are a pastiche of characters whom Lucille Ball portrayed:
- On I Love Lucy and The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, McGillicuddy was Lucy's character's maiden name and Ricardo was her married name.
- Lucy's character's last name was Carmichael on The Lucy Show.
- After telling Lisa her name, Ghost Lucy says, "And I think there's more", an offhand reference to Lucy Barker from Life with Lucy, thus accounting for all of Ball's sitcom characters.
