Charlie is the Dangerous Emissions Supervisor of Sector 7-G. He is one of [[Homer Simpson]]'s friends, was involved in the fake emergency exit incident in '93 and after informing Mr. Burns of the emergency exit being painted on the wall, he got sucked into a tube that took him to Morroco. In his absence, Mindy Simmons briefly took his place, but got fired afterwards. His first appeareance was in [[Homer's Night Out]], when he was seen on Eugene Fisk's birthday party. He also appeared in the episode [[Simpson and Delilah]], where he was seen on one of the security screens smoking: this shows he's a smoker and, as well as smoking, he is occasionally seen in [[Moe's Tavern]] drinking, so he is also a drinker. In the episode Homer to the Max, after seeing Homer on the bottom of Page 12 of the Springfield Shopper, all Charlie could say was "Wow!". He also tells Homer (while he is working for the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]]) that he has a plan to [[revolution|overthrow the government]] and is promptly arrested for conspiracy. Charlie has spoken in very few episodes, but has been seen in the background more.

== History ==

He is arrested for threatening to beat up local officials over the slow progression of HDTVs.<ref>"[[The Trouble with Trillions]]"</ref> He was briefly disabled as stated by Lenny after Homer notices he is not at the plant.<ref>"[[King-Size Homer]]"</ref> This disability was clearly temporary as he is later seen back to work and in good health.

 +
Although Charlie has made mistakes, some of his bad luck is through no fault of his own. He was replaced by [[Mindy Simmons]] after he, [[Homer]], [[Lenny]], and [[Carl]] play a prank on a worker and cause a radioactive gas leak and Charlie complains to [[Mr. Burns]] that the plant requires a real emergency exit rather than one which is painted on. Burns lowers a giant tube which suck Charlie up, sending him to an Asian country where he is forced to dance on a table.<ref name=last>"[[The Last Temptation of Homer]]"</ref> Another example of Charlie's misfortune beyond his power was where he, along with other employees, were harmed due to Homer's negligence.

Charlie is the Dangerous Emissions Supervisor of Sector 7G at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He is a friend of Homer Simpson.

History[edit]

Charlie is known to have bad luck and show lousy judgment at times. He is arrested for threatening to beat up local officials over the slow progression of HDTVs.[1] He was briefly disabled as stated by Lenny after Homer notices he is not at the plant.[2] This disability was clearly temporary as he is later seen back to work and in good health. As a member of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team, Charlie uses his sister's wooden leg as a baseball bat.[3]

Although Charlie has made mistakes, some of his bad luck is through no fault of his own. He was replaced by Mindy Simmons after he, Homer, Lenny, and Carl play a prank on a worker and cause a radioactive gas leak and Charlie complains to Mr. Burns that the plant requires a real emergency exit rather than one which is painted on. Burns lowers a giant tube which suck Charlie up, sending him to an Asian country where he is forced to dance on a table.[4] Another example of Charlie's misfortune beyond his power was where he, along with other employees, were harmed due to Homer's negligence. As Charlie and the other men screamed that they were on fire, Homer was daydreaming and imagining them as a clown show.[5]

Behind the Laughter[edit]

Resemblances[edit]

In Matt Groening's second show, Futurama the character Terry appears to resemble Charlie including his primary role of being a background filler and his usual role of having bad luck.

Creation[edit]

Voice[edit]

He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, who said that he was "just [doing] an imitation of Lenny", according to the commentary for "Homer at the Bat". His voice sounds similar to the Blue-haired lawyer and Arnie Pye, who are also voiced by Castellaneta.
