Character Information

Spiro Agnew was the Vice President of the United States under President Richard Nixon. Forced to resign in 1973 for tax evasion, he was replaced by Gerald Ford.
History[edit]
A clock with a Spiro Agnew caricature clock face was used in the bombing of Mr. Burns' lab. Mona Simpson was one of the people who set the bomb.[1]
Spiro Agnew appeared as the subject of several satirical jokes in a Mad magazine special edition read by Bart Simpson and Milhouse at The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop. After seeing the repeated jokes, Milhouse assumed Agnew worked for the magazine because it criticized him so frequently.[2]
An animatronic of Spiro Agnew was seen in the Hall of Vice Presidents at Kissimmee St. Nick Theme Park and Resort.[3]
Shelves of Soylent Green had Agnew's name on them.[4]
When Homer was young and found a lamp with a mean genie inside, he asked his dad Abe if he could wish to become the world's yo-yo champion. Abe told his son that it wasn't a good idea because he might do a performance for President Nixon and accidentally kill him, which would result in Spiro Agnew becoming President. Homer then started imagining that very thing happening.[5]
Mr. Smithers listed Agnew as one of the Great Toadies in History for being "Nixon's chief fall guy".[6]
