| − | <!--Removed deleted image: [[Image:Arnie Pie.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Arnie Pie]]-->
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Arnie Pie''', voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]], is a disgruntled, somewhat eccentric [[helicopter]] [[traffic reporter]] for Springfield’s [[Media in The Simpsons#KBBL|KBBL-TV]] (Channel 6). His segments are titled “Arnie in the Sky.” He has an apparent dislike of anchorman [[Kent Brockman]], with whom he often gets into arguments on the air. Pie’s helicopter once crashed; he managed “Tell my wife I love—” before the live feed was lost. The incident was dismissed with a chuckle by the oblivious Brockman. However, he survived and has been seen in several episodes afterwards. “Arnie in the Sky” is most likely to be a play on words with the expression “pie in the sky” (not the TV series ''[[Pie in the Sky]]'', as “Arnie in the Sky” pre-dates Richard Griffiths’ mystery-solving chef). When Kent was fired in "[[You Kent Always Say What You Want]]", Arnie briefly became the new head anchor. He spoke in a deeper, smoother voice, but returned to his normal register when he got excited near the end of the report. (A similar gag was used in a previous episode with Bumblebee Man, who took over Brockman's desk and spoke perfect English as he delivered the news, right up until the end.) In some of the early episodes he was referred to as "Bill Pie".

| − | ==Bill and Marty==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Bill Marty.gif|thumb|right|280px|Marty (Left) & Bill (Right)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Bill and Marty''', voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]] and [[Harry Shearer]], are two [[radio programming|radio show]] [[presenter#radio presenter|hosts]] and [[disc jockey|deejays]] on [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield’s]] own radio station [[Media in The Simpsons#KBBL|KBBL]]. When they appear, they are usually seen (and sometimes only heard), when [[Simpson family|the Simpsons]] are listening to the radio. Marty is middle-aged and [[baldness|balding]], while Bill is younger and has a full head of hair. The radio frequency of KBBL is 102.5 FM, and Bill is often seen with this on his clothes. They are responsible [[Bart Gets an Elephant|for giving]] [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] his [[elephant]], [[List of animals in The Simpsons#Stampy|Stampy]], although they were surprised when Bart wanted Stampy, because they thought he would choose the other [[prize]], 10,000 dollars. They can also be seen interviewing [[Spinal Tap]] on the episode “[[The Otto Show]],” where they want the band to say “Nobody rocks like Bill and Marty on KBBL,” and “Rock-a-doodle-doo, you’re listening to Bill and Marty!” This might suggest that the two want to get their radio show more publicity.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Billy==
| |
| − | '''Billy''' is [[Troy McClure]]'s assistant who appeared in "[[Lisa the Simpson]]", and "[[Bart the Mother]]". He was supposed to appear in more episodes but due to McClure's voice actor [[Phil Hartman]]'s untimely death he was retired along with McClure. He is a child who appears in Troy McClure's educational films. His movies include "Birds: Our Fine Feathered Colleagues", and "In The Kitchen with DNA". He was voiced by [[Tress MacNeille]] .

| − | [[Image:Birch barlow.jpg|210px|left|thumb|An unimpressed Birch Barlow.]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Birchibald "Birch" T. Barlow''' (voiced by [[Harry Shearer]]) has been featured prominently only in the episode ''[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]'', appearing from time to time in the background of subsequent episodes. He is a [[American conservatism|conservative]] [[talk show]] host on the radio station [[Media in The Simpsons#KBBL|KBBL]], who in voice and appearance is obviously modeled after [[Rush Limbaugh]]. As of ''[[You Kent Always Say What You Want]]'', he also has a show on [[Fox News]], and serves as a parody of Fox News' widely perceived [[Fox News Channel controversies|conservative bias]]. In You Kent Always Say What You Want he was voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | On his [[radio programming|radio show]], he declares himself to be "the [[fourth branch of government]]" and "the [[U.S. state|fifty-first state]]". He is also the author of the book "Only [[Turkey (bird)|Turkey]]s Have [[Left-wing politics|Left Wings]]". Barlow played an important part in the episode ''[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]'', in which [[Sideshow Bob]], while jailed, calls up Barlow on his radio show, giving him an outlet to voice how the prison treats him unfairly. Barlow, knowing Bob is a fellow [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]], sympathizes with his complaints, and influences the rest of [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]] to as well. This leads to Bob's prompt release and ensuing [[mayor]]al [[Electoral fraud|election-rigging]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the book ''The Simpsons Guide To Springfield'', Barlow is pictured enjoying a "festive meal with a group of close personal friends" — [[Waylon Smithers]], John (from the episode "[[Homer's Phobia]]") and [[Fallout Boy|Buddy "Fallout Boy" Hodges]] — at the flamboyantly decorated Sha-Boom Ka-Boom Cafe. Typical of ''The Simpsons'', this is meant to humorously imply that he may be homosexual. Barlow also appeared in the episode "[[We're on the Road to D'ohwhere]]" as a customer at Marge's prescription drug-laden "yard sale", a reference to Limbaugh's [[Rush Limbaugh#Prescription drug addiction|Oxycontin addiction scandal]].

| − | ==Boobarella==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Booberella image.jpg|right|170px|thumb|Boobarella on television]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Boobarella''' is an ample-chested vampire-looking woman, first seen in the episode “[[I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can|I’m Spelling as Fast as I Can]].” She is well aware of her assets, and often makes reference to them on the rare occasion she appears on TV. "We'll be right back! Then you can see more of my booooooooobs!" In another episode, when asked a technical question by [[Kent Brockman]], after a long pause she responds with "Boobs!" Her character is a takeoff of Elvira, a character made known by [[Cassandra Peterson]], (who made many comments about her large breasts), herself a takeoff on [[Maila Nurmi|Vampira]]. Her name is possibly a spoof of [[Barbarella]]. In “[[Homerazzi]],” she is seen dating [[Duffman]]. In "[[Fraudcast News]]", it is revealed that she is the daughter of an employee in the nuclear plant's Accounting department.

| − | ==Bumblebee Man==
| |
| − | [[Image:BumblebeeMan.gif|left|200px|thumb|Bumblebee Man.]]
| |
| − | The '''Bumblebee Man''', voiced by [[Hank Azaria]], appears on a television show on "Channel Ocho" dressed in a [[bumblebee]] costume and does insane slapstick comedy. In the episode "[[Team Homer]]", his bowling shirt bears the name '''"Pedro"'''. He works at the same studio as [[Kent Brockman]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bumblebee Man never takes off his costume, even when by himself; the sole exception is the episode "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]", in which his private life is shown. In this short segment, he is portrayed as innately clumsy rather than simply acting as such. In the end, his house is destroyed and his wife leaves him, not wanting to deal with his maladroit nature any longer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In "[[Bart Gets Famous]]", he speaks with an articulate "English" accent, but this was mentioned in an episode commentary as a mistake. In general, Bumblebee Man only speaks in simple, over-enunciated (and inaccurate) Spanish sentences. His catchphrases of choice are typically “¡Ay, ay, ay, no me gusta!” (“I don’t like it!”), “¡Ay, ay, ay, no es bueno!” (“That’s not good!”) and “¡Ay, Dios no me ama!” (“God doesn’t love me!”) Quite commonly, his phrases will be intentionally sloppy Spanish. For example, in the episode "[[22 Short Films about Springfield]]", there are several words used that are not real (woodpecker in Spanish is not "wudpequero"; it is "pájaro carpintero"). The crude Spanish was used so that English-speaking viewers would still understand what was being said.<ref>Season 7 DVD Commentary - "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]"</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bumblebee Man is a caricature of "[[El Chapulín Colorado]]" ("The Red Grasshopper"), a character created and portrayed by Mexican television comedian [[Roberto Gómez Bolaños]] (aka "Chespirito"), and his show consists of simple skits, often involving heavy [[slapstick]]. The staff have said that whenever they watched [[Telemundo]], this character was always "on", thus they created Bumblebee Man, who is also always "on".<ref>{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2004|title=The Simpsons season 4 DVD commentary for the episode "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> His costume was based on one used in the ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch "Killer Bees".<ref name=tvguide>{{cite news|title=Flash! 24 Simpsons Stars Reveal Themselves|accessdate=2007-08-15|date=[[2000-10-21]]|publisher=[[TV Guide]]|author=Joe Rhodes}}</ref>

| − | ==Capital City Goofball==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:other218.gif|thumb|150px|right|Capital City Goofball.]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Capital City Goofball''' is the mascot for Capital City, he was voiced by [[Tom Poston]]. His appearance seems to have been inspired by the mascot of the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] baseball team, the [[Phillie Phanatic]]. The costume is a creature with a baseball body, with a blue Capital City T-Shirt, yellow arms and legs, a long flat-ended nose, tufts of fur at the side, a red hat with two springs, two costume eyes that look in either direction, and two more eyes that peek outside the mouth (the eyes of the person wearing the costume). The Capital City Goofball first appeared in the episode “[[Dancin' Homer|Dancin’ Homer]]” and shared the stage with Homer. In "[[Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade]]" The Capital City Goofball represents Capital City in the state Congress; he spent 80 million dollars out of his own pocket to win the seat. The episode [[Homer to the Max]] implies that the Capital City Goofball was originally conceived as a major recurring character, but has only appeared in occasional background scenes since his debut episode, and has never had any further speaking lines. With the death of [[Tom Poston]] in 2007, it is likely that this character will be retired, if the precedent regarding [[Troy McClure]] and [[Lunch Lady Doris]] after the deaths of Phil Hartman and Doris Grau is followed. He appeared breifly in [[Homerazzi]].

| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Springfield Up.png|left|150px|thumb|Declan Desmond with [[Homer Simpson|Homer]].]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Declan Desmond''' (voiced by [[Eric Idle]] of [[Monty Python]] fame) is an eccentric and skeptical British [[Documentary film|documentary]] filmmaker who has directed several films, including ''Do You Want Lies with That?'', ''American Boneheads: A Day In The Life Of Springfield Elementary'', ''Growing Up Springfield'', and ''Ain’t No Mountain: A Blind Man Climbs Everest''. ''Growing Up Springfield'' is his most notable documentary. It follows the lives of the inhabitants of Springfield, starting when they were in third grade and continuing every eight years. It is a parody of [[Michael Apted]]’s [[Seven Up!|''Up!'' series]]. Desmond and his Growing Up Springfield series were featured in the episode “[[Springfield Up]].”

| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:The Simpsons 4F03.png|200px|thumb|right|Drederick Tatum and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Drederick Tatum''' (voiced by [[Hank Azaria]]) has appeared in several episodes, most notably as Homer’s opponent in “[[The Homer They Fall]].” Tatum, a former [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] [[Gold medal#Olympic Games|Gold medalist]], first became [[List of heavyweight boxing champions|World Heavyweight Champion]] after defeating Watson in the heavily promoted “Bout to Knock the Other Guy Out!” Tatum grew up in Springfield, recalling that “that town was a dump. If you ever see me there again you’ll know I really ([[bleep censor|bleep]]ed)-up bad.” He later served time in prison after pushing his mother down the stairs. Upon his release, he was booked for a match against [[Homer Simpson]], a small-time boxer who had never been knocked out. He was managed during this time by [[List of one-time characters from The Simpsons#Lucius Sweet|Lucius Sweet]], a vicious boxing promoter (and parody of Don King). Tatum’s criminal record has been referred to several times.
| |
| − | Tatum is an obvious parody of [[Mike Tyson]], right down to his criminal record and high-pitched, lisping voice.
| |

| − | ==Duffman==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Duff Man.png|left|120px|thumb|Duffman.]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Duffman,''' named Barry, Larry, Joel and Sid in separate episodes, voiced by [[Hank Azaria]], is the [[mascot]] and spokesman for the fictional [[Duff Beer (The Simpsons)|Duff Beer]] company in ''[[The Simpsons]]''. He first appeared in the episode [[The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]. Within the series, he is a [[fictional character]] played by several people, and sometimes simultaneously.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although [[Newsweek]] once reported that Duffman died of liver failure, he continues to work for [[Duff Beer (The Simpsons)|Duff]] because "Duffman can never die; only the actors who play him."
| |
| − | Duffman was also shot by Frank Grimes Jr., although whether the wound was fatal is uncertain. Another Duffman was possibly killed in a blimp crash during a football game; it was then revealed that there were three Duffmen working the game that night.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He is an athletic and smooth-talking corporate personality who wears blue and red tights, a red cape, white gloves, and the Duff logo emblazoned across his chest. The costume - featuring a red hat, dark sunglasses, and a "[[utility belt]]" of beer cans around his waist - is designed to create awareness of Duff. Duffman is generally known for his overly enthusiastic speech in which he refers to himself in the [[grammatical person|third person]], complete with dramatic pauses and ending with a suggestive "Oh, yeah!" and [[pelvic thrust]]s. His theme song which plays at every corporate-sponsored appearance is "[[Oh Yeah (song)|Oh Yeah]]" by [[Yello]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Duffman continues to visit local establishments, such as [[Moe's Tavern]], in order to conduct the Duff Trivia Challenge. [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] could have won a lifetime supply of Duff but his jaw was wired shut and he was unable to answer Duffman's question <ref>Season 13 episode "[[Jaws Wired Shut]]"</ref>. If a "chug monkey" sends in 10,000 Duff labels to the company, Duffman will visit their favorite bar, along with the Duff Party Mobile in order to party down. Duffman also supports the designated driver program. Duffman has said he is [[Jewish]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Duffman is based on [[Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch)|Budweiser]]'s former mascot [[Bud Man#Advertising|Bud Man]]. Duffman's catchphrase comes from the song "Oh Yeah", which the producers say became extremely popular after ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]'' and many advertisers started using it. As a result, the writers felt that the song and phrase "Oh yeah!" would be suitable for Duffman. Duffman's thrusts were first acted out by [[Brad Bird]].<ref>Mentioned in the [[audio commentary]] for "[[The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]".</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | It has been implied that the current Duffman is [[bisexuality|bisexual]]. When Homer becomes a tabloid journalist, Duffman is spotted at a restaurant with a female companion, to which Bart shockingly replies that he (Duffman) was supposed to be in a committed, monagamous, gay relationship.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Gunter and Ernst==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Gunter''' and '''Ernst''', [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]]-style entertainers voiced by [[Harry Shearer]] and [[Hank Azaria]], are obvious parodies of [[Siegfried & Roy]]: they speak with [[German language|German]] accents, their act involves [[magic (illusion)|magic]] and [[white tiger]]s, and one has black hair while the other has bleached-blond hair. The duo appear in the episodes
| |
| − | “[[Viva Ned Flanders]],” “[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)|$pringfield]],” “[[The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons]]”, and “[[Jazzy and the Pussycats]].”
| |
| − | | |
| − | In a case of fact following fiction, the 1993 episode “$pringfield” depicts the duo being savagely mauled by their trademark white tiger, Anastasia. Ten years later, the trained white tiger [[Siegfried & Roy#Horn's tiger injury|Montecore]] dragged Roy Horn off-stage by his neck during a performance at [[The Mirage]].

| |
| − | '''Lance Murdock''' voiced by Dan Castellaneta is a professional daredevil who influenced Bart in [[Bart the Daredevil]] . He even influenced Bart to jump off Springfield Gorge. He reappeared in [[I Married Marge]], [[Radio Bart]], and [[Selma's Choice]] . In Selma's Choice he sponserd Duff Gardens on a commercial in which he got injured badly and went to Duff Gardens. He has not appeared since for an unknown reason.

| − | ==Lurleen Lumpkin==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Colonel Homer.JPG|thumb|left|200px|[[Homer Simpson]] and Lurleen Lumpkin]]
| |
| − | An attractive, aspiring country singer that was managed by Homer in "[[Colonel Homer]]" voiced by [[Beverly D'Angelo]]. Homer discovered her in a bar in the middle of nowhere but was amazed by her voice. He decided to help her launch a singing career, much to the chagrin of Marge. Lurleen started to fall for Homer and tried to lure him with an erotic song called "Bunk with Me Tonight". Homer, who had been ignorant of this, suddenly realized that managing Lurleen could hurt his marriage, so he quits as her manager. A saddened Lurleen sings a song called "Stand By Your Manager". In a later episode, "[[Marge vs. the Monorail]]", a much rougher-looking Lurleen, voiced by [[Doris Grau]], makes a brief appearance, in which it is revealed that she had been to the [[Betty Ford Clinic]] and had "spent last night in a ditch". In this episode her voice sounds exactly the same as Lunchlady Doris's, rather than her soft, Southern voice she had when she was first introduced. She was also seen in "[[Team Homer]]" as one fourth of a bowling team called "The Homewreckers", with [[List of one-time characters from The Simpsons#Jacques "Brunswick"|Jacques "Brunswick"]], [[List of one-time characters from The Simpsons#Mindy Simmons|Mindy Simmons]] and [[List of recurring characters from The Simpsons#Princess Kashmir|Princess Kashmir]]. In the episode "[[Bart on the Road]]", while they were going through Branson, Missouri, her name briefly appears on a banner saying "playing tonight". Lurleen also briefly appeared in the episode [[Homerazzi]]. She is set to appear in the ninteenth season. <ref>[http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/808/808965p1.html IGN TV] ''uk.tv.ign.com''.

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Louis “Mr. Teeny” Toot''', also known as '''Joseph Teeny''' and voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]], is [[Krusty the Clown|Krusty]]’s trained [[monkey]] who frequently appears on the show. Like Krusty, he is a heavy [[tobacco smoking|smoker]], and often seems [[depression (mood)|depressed]] off-stage. He is sometimes seen as Krusty’s [[chauffeur|driver]] and [[butler]]. Teeny’s uncle was former head monkey at the ministry of tourism in [[Brazil]]. Three other monkeys have died while working for Krusty known by the same name. Krusty once said he missed the third Mr. Teeny and the current one couldn’t hold a candle to him. His mother’s name is Toot-Toot, and she refers to him as Louis when they are reunited in "[[Bart Has Two Mommies]]". Teeny also was a writer for the “Good Guy Awards” and quit after being insulted on-stage by Krusty. He is an immigrant from Brazil and has been [[deportation|deported]] but was returned. He wears a pink hat and [[bow tie]] but has also been seen in a [[tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo]] and golden encrusted thong.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Krusty has implied that if he can't find a human willing to donate a lung when he gets cancer, he's planning on harvesting one from Mr. Teeny.

| − | '''Rachel Jordan''' (voiced by [[Shawn Colvin]]) is the lead singer of Kovenant, a fictional Christian rock band. She is first seen in ''[[Alone Again, Natura-Diddily]]'', when she befriends [[Ned Flanders]] after [[Maude Flanders|Maude]]’s death. She returns in “[[I'm Goin' to Praiseland|I’m Goin’ to Praiseland]].” She stays at the Flanders' house with Ned, and leaves briefly after Ned attempted to mold her in the image of his deceased wife Maude. At the end of the episode, she returns and has a date with Flanders.

| |
| − | '''Scott Christian''' (voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]]) is a newsreader from the early seasons of the show. Originally, Christian and [[Kent Brockman]] shared the anchor desk equally, but eventually Brockman started to become the more commonly used anchor. In his final appearances, Christian was used mostly when Kent was in the field and an introduction was needed. His final speaking appearance was “[[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]”. Christian was supposed to be permanent anchor<ref>Season 1 DVD Commentary - "[[Krusty Gets Busted]]"</ref>, always filling in for an absent Brockman, but was quickly phased out as the show progressed. He briefly appeared (with red colored hair) with the other Springfield celebrities in the season 18 episode "[[Homerazzi]]."

| − | [[Image:Sideshow Mel.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Sideshow Mel]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Sideshow Mel''', full name '''Melvin Van Horne''' (voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]]), is [[Krusty the Clown]]'s sidekick. He replaced [[Sideshow Bob]] after Bob was incarcerated for framing Krusty for armed robbery. Mel's hiring was never explicitly shown in the series. He first appeared in "[[Itchy & Scratchy & Marge]]", shortly after Sideshow Bob was sent to prison, filling the exact role that Bob once did. Little is known about Mel. He is a [[Cornell University]] graduate and an [[atheist]] (though he is occasionally seen at the [[Presbylutheran]] church). Sideshow Mel uses a [[slide whistle]] to communicate on camera just like Bob. When not in character, Mel speaks in a grandiose [[United Kingdom|British]]/[[Shakespeare]]an accent (Castellaneta's play on [[Kelsey Grammer]]'s character, [[Sideshow Bob]]) and owns poodles. Mel perpetually wears a bone in his hair which was revealed in "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]" to be from a failed attempt to remove gum from his hair, however, in both [[Skinner's Sense of Snow]] and The Simpsons Movie, he takes it out of his hair and uses it as a weapon. In [[The Wettest Stories Ever Told]] the bone is taken out and revealed to be an army knife (though this may have been non-canon, for it occurred in a story told by Homer). In "[[Bart Gets Famous]]" it was revealed that Mel is [[lactose intolerant]]. In "[[Homerazzi]]" it was revealed that he was in a bitter [[custody]] battle. In "[[I'm With Cupid]]", he reveals he has a wife (or at least a girlfriend) called Barbara, who appears in [[Realty Bites]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sideshow Mel is often subject to abuse by Krusty, just as Sideshow Bob was before him. Such occurrences include 'Krusty's Slide', where he is forced into a mixture of laundry detergent and rancid [[Bearnaise sauce]]; another unseen one is in "[[Krusty Gets Kancelled]]" where he states that Krusty once poured [[liquid nitrogen]] down his pants and cracked his buttocks with a hammer.

| − | [[Krusty|Krusty the Klown]]'s sidekick before [[Sideshow Bob]], likely from the 1970s era. He was first seen in the episode "[[I Love Lisa]]", in Krusty the Klown's 29th Anniversary Show. Krusty showed a slide of him. In the slide, Krusty says "Ah... the script says I have to bonk you with this" (holding a hammer); Raheem replies "I wouldn't." "Right on!" says Krusty. Then after the clip is over, Krusty describes him as an "Angry, angry young man." He later makes brief appearances in [[Bart the Fink]] attending Krusty's "funeral", and in [[Milhouse of Sand and Fog]] at the all-black church. He is voiced by [[Michael Carrington]].
