Moe was born on November 24. Moe either illegally immigrated to the United States from Holland or was born in Indiana. He used to have an Italian accent but no longer uses it, hinting at Italian heritage. At some point in his life, Moe ended up on [[Mt. Everest]] where he was brought up by his father, a [[yeti]]. When [[Mr. Burns]] bought the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] and came into Springfield riding an elephant, Moe asked to touch the elephant. The elephant then steps on Moe, giving him his bad looks.

Moe is the owner and, except for a few instances where temporary help is hired, the only employee of [[Moe's Tavern]]. His most loyal customer is [[Barney Gumble]], with other regulars including [[Homer Simpson]], [[Lenny Leonard]], [[Carl Carlson]], [[Sam]] and [[Larry]]. Moe is notoriously cheap with his customers, refusing to give them free drinks, or throwing them out when they are out of money (and in one case, he asks who are the designated drivers, then tells them to beat it, claiming to have "no time for cheapskates" on St. Patrick's Day). He also wants his customers to drink as much as possible, as then their tab will grow larger. [[Barney]]'s tab had to be sent to Nasa to be calculated and it came out to be $14 billion. Once, when Homer asked Moe where the dart board was, Moe said, "we're phasing out the games, people drink less when they're having fun."

Mr. Sparkle (ミスタースパーコル Misutasupakoru), known in Japanese as Misutā Supākoru, is a Japanese dishwashing detergent mascot for Mr. Sparkle, who bears a strong resemblance to Homer.

While at the Springfield City Dump, Bart found a box of Mr. Sparkle detergent. He called over Homer and Lisa to look at the box, and they were all shocked that it had a picture of Homer on the front. Homer took the box to Akira at The Happy Sumo, who told Homer that it was Mr. Sparkle, and was surprised to find that the mascot looked like Homer. Homer later called the Mr. Sparkle Factory in Japan to ask why they were using his likeness on the box. He later received a videotape for American investors with a commercial for Mr. Sparkle included. The commercial started with Mr. Sparkle cleaning a dishwasher full of dishes before he went into the child's bedroom and played the toy xylophone. Mr. Sparkle then went to some dancers and told them to get out of his way as this was no place for loafers. He then told them to join him or die, and asked if they could do any less. The dancers then called Mr. Sparkle a brave corporate logo and accepted the challenge of Mr. Sparkle. One of the dancers then said "awesome power!" Mr. Sparkle then blew detergent at them, which turned the girls into sumo wrestlers. He then went to a reporter, who was interviewing a two-headed cow. Mr. Sparkle shattered the cow into pieces. Mr. Sparkle then told the viewer to use Mr. Sparkle for lucky best wash. The end of the commercial then revealed the truth behind Mr. Sparkle: it was a merger of the companies Matsumura Fishworks, which had a fish logo, and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern, which had a lightbulb logo. The two logos together made Mr. Sparkle, meaning the resemblance to Homer was a coincidence...
