Surly Duff is one of The Seven Duffs. Along with the rest of the group, Surly is a mascot for Duff Beer and appears as a costumed character in places such as Duff Gardens.[1] However, Surly has also been seen out in public on occasion.

History[edit]

Surly Duff was at the gate of Duff Days where he told everyone entering to "Drink Duff!". He would then cover his mouth with his hand and add "Responsibly".[2]

Surly has been seen in public on occasions when he wasn't acting as a representative for Duff Beer. When Marge Simpson accidentally got breast implants, Surly was among a crowd of men leering at her enhanced figure.[3]

When Moe's Tavern was shut down for failing a health inspection, a wake was held for the bar and Surly was one of the mourners in attendance.[4]

Description[edit]

Surly is the only one of the Seven Duffs who speaks. True to his name, Surly has a surly and cynical demeanor. Everything he says either has a cynical undercurrent behind it or is a direct put-down.

Non-canon[edit]

In The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Surly and the other Duffs can be seen on a rotating poster in Moe's Tavern.[5]

He once quit his job to try and replace Duffman but got injured and was replaced himself by Moe.[6]

Behind the Laughter[edit]

  • The Seven Duffs are an obvious reference to, and pun on, the Seven Dwarfs from the Disney animated movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
  • Surly is one of only four Duffs named in their first appearance in "Selma's Choice". (The other three named in the episode were Tipsy, Queasy and Remorseful.)
