Edna was born January 21, 1961.

There is some inconsistency about Edna's origins. Though she is said to have come to Springfield to begin teaching, she can be seen running through the background in Springfield High School in when [[Clancy Wiggum]] is being videotaped as a hall monitor. Krabappel, like many other teachers at [[Springfield Elementary School]] smokes heavily, especially during school hours. It was also once implied that Edna Krabappel drinks heavily, as when Marge arrived at the school to use a restroom and stumbled upon the horrible conditions of the school, she noticed Edna Krabappel's class where Bart felt he had to sleep in class and uttered "stupid teacher," to which Edna was also sleeping in a similar fashion to Bart and uttering "stupid hangover" and once got fired when she became drunk (although the latter instance wasn't her fault, as her drink was spiked by her students in order to help her become laid back.).

Mr. Sparkle.png

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.
