Üter Zörker, voiced by Russi Taylor, is the overweight German foreign exchange student, He Lives in Germany and sometimes in Springfield, with odd habits such as offering his already-licked lollipops to others as a sign of friendship, and eating marzipan candies fortified with iodine.


Hobbies

He is a player on the Kwik-E-Mart Gougers Peewee Hockey League Team. He also enjoys flirting with Lisa Simpson and in some episodes he tries to make friends with Bart. Usually on the school bus he sits by himself, eating candy which he always seems to have a lot of.

Disappearance

He was left behind on the American Civil War field trip. Although a joke was made of Üter's disappearance in Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner? with his parents asking Skinner where their missing son was, he has since reappeared. In 24 Minutes he is seen stuck in a cobweb in the school air vents. He is also eaten in an earlier Halloween Special but these episodes are not canon.

Other Versions

In the German version of the show Üter is an exchange student from Switzerland with a thick Swiss-German accent.

Family

He has two parents and his uncle is a proud owner of a bubblegum-factory in Düsseldorf (respectively Basel in the German version). His dad appear's again in Father Knows Worst.

Name

Contrary to the common English assumption that Üter is a Swiss name, it is probably a misconstruction of the common German name Günther.

Model for Character

He most likely based on Augustus Gloop, the gluttonous German boy from the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and it's two film adaptations(rather ironic, since Uter made a diarama of the book in the episode Lisa's Rival). His favorite catchphrase is "Don't make me run, I'm full of chocolate!"
