70s Boy Girl Little Toy
70s Boy Girl Little Toy
Although The Simpsons is itself a show mainly consisting of fictional characters (see List of characters from The Simpsons ), excluding celebrities who make cameos as themselves, there are a number of characters within the show's universe who are fictional to the Simpsons characters themselves.
These include characters from TV and movies, as well as characters who appear on Halloween "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, which do not fit the show's already-loose continuity.
Recurring fictional characters
Radioactive Man
Main article: Radioactive Man (The Simpsons character)Radioactive Man is a comic book superhero of whom Bart and Milhouse are particular fans. In one episode of the same name, Springfield was host to a Radioactive Man Hollywood movie. The actor's name was Dirk Richter, and according to "Three Men and a Comic Book," got shot in a bordello and died (cf. Bart's line, "Do you think the ghost of Dirk Richter haunts the bordello where his bullet-riddled body was found?") in the 1960s. Prior to this, Dirk Richter was the star of a 1950s TV serial about Radioactive Man that promoted Laramie cigarettes (even though in the season seven episode "Radioactive Man," the movie director said that Dirk Richter starred in a campy, 1970s TV version of Radioactive Man that was much like the campy, 1960s version of Batman).
Fallout Boy
In the series, Fallout Boy first appears in a 1950s Radioactive Man film serial shown at a comic book convention in the episode "Three Men and a Comic Book," which implied that the actor who played Fallout Boy might have been gay. However, unlike many Simpsons characters, he has only made a handful of appearances since. While Radioactive Man is a broad parody of many superheroes, most obviously containing elements of Batman and Superman (and the comic incorporates an origin story similar to Marvel's The Hulk), among others, Fallout Boy is mainly a parody of Robin (with his costume, references as being the 'young ward' of Radioactive Man, and his younger age and sidekick status) with elements of Spider-Man (his fictional comic book origin, for example). His catchphrase is "Jiminy Jillickers!"
Additionally, Fallout Boy also appears in a real-life comic book titled Radioactive Man , published by Bongo Comics (a comic created in part by Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons ). In these comic books, Fallout Boy's real name is Rod Runtledge, he has a brother named Dodd Runtledge, and they live in Zenith City. Rod is a high school nerd living with his aunt, Aunt June, an obvious reference to Spider-Man's alter ego, Peter Parker, who lives with his Aunt May.
Fallout Boy was an average book worm, until one day, he was at a Radioactive demonstration, where he met up with Claude Kane, (a reference to Superman's alter ego Clarke Kent). A tall piece of machinery fell towards them. Claude grabbed Rod and jumped over the rail, Claude holding onto the machine. The machine came to life, and as the ray passed through Claude, who became Radioactive Man, it hit Rod. Rod then got a pint sized version of RM's powers, and became Fallout Boy.
In a particular episode, Milhouse was chosen over Bart to play Fallout Boy in the Radioactive Man movie to be filmed in Springfield. Rock band Fall Out Boy took the name of this character after, when they asked a concert audience what band name they should have, a fan shouted "Fallout Boy!"
Miss Lunchlady
Miss Lunchlady is Doris' sister and Squeaky Voice Teen's auntie. A dinnerlady at Springfield Elementary School. She is played by Doris Grau until Doris Grau's death. Doris Grau was replaced by Tress MacNeille. She is 52.
The Happy Little Elves
The Happy Little Elves are a parody of The Smurfs, who appeared more often in the show's earlier episodes. They are a favorite of Lisa and Maggie Simpson. Bart, however, hates them; he mainly refers to them as either "those stupid elves" "The Crappy Little Elves", or "The Little Green Idiots". Their movies include Return of the Happy Little Elves , an unnamed Christmas movie as seen in "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", The Happy Little Elves Meet The Curious Bear Cubs , The Happy Little Elves in Tinkly Winkly Town , and The Happy Little Elves meet Fuzzy Snuggleduck (which was listed as an R-rated movie along with Thelma & Louise and The Erotic Awakening of S on Rancho Relaxo's cable system). They were first mentioned in a short on The Tracey Ullman Show entitled "Scary Movie". The most recent appearance they had was in "Dial N for Nerder" in March 2008. In more current episodes, they appear as wall decorations in Maggie's and Lisa's rooms.
Itchy & Scratchy
Main article: The Itchy & Scratchy ShowItchy and Scratchy are a super-violent cartoon cat and mouse duo in the style of Tom and Jerry (though their animation history resembles that of the Disney Corporation) featured on the Krusty the Klown Show . Homer provided the voice for a cartoon dog named Poochie, who costarred with Itchy and Scratchy for a few cartoons (see entry below for Poochie). Bart refers in one episode to several characters from "the short-lived Itchy & Scratchy & Friends Hour ": Uncle Ant, Disgruntled Goat, Ku Klux Klam, and Rich Uncle Skeleton. In yet another episode, Itchy and Scratchy were temporarily replaced with "Eastern Europe's favorite cat and mouse team, Worker and Parasite." Itchy and Scratchy were originally intended only to parody Tom and Jerry, but their cartoon shorts proved very popular and became a regular part of the show.
Malibu Stacy
Malibu Stacy is a doll for young girls. It is an obvious parody of a Barbie doll (the Barbie doll line included a doll named Stacey from 1968-1970). Waylon Smithers of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant owns the largest collection of Malibu Stacy dolls in the world. He also took a leave of absence from the power plant to produce and star in Sold Separately - a musical based on the life of Malibu Stacy. Malibu Stacy comes with a wide range of often ludicrous accessories, such as the "Malibu Stacy Lunar Rover."
Stacy was designed by Stacy Lovell, and her life is based on that of her creator. Lovell was in turn eventually dropped by her own company for funnelling profits to the Viet Cong. According to Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy, the doll was originally designed in 1959 and was supposed to be edible, but kids didn't like the taste of dried onion meal and instead played with the doll as a toy. However, in Homer's Barbershop Quartet, Lisa found a Malibu Stacy doll from 1958 that was recalled because its pointed breasts were a hazard to kids' eyes.
When 'Talking Malibu Stacy' dolls were introduced, pulling a string on the doll's back provided typically vapid catchphrases that were demeaning to women (such as "Don't ask me, I'm just a girl!"). Lisa fronted an effort to produce a competing doll called "Lisa Lionheart," which would act as a more positive female role model. Its sales were disappointingly low because of the simultaneous release of "Malibu Stacy With New Hat."
The "Talking Malibu Stacy" controversy was a parody of the Teen Talk Barbie controversy.
McBain
McBain is a movie action hero played by fictional actor Rainier Wolfcastle, a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis (his name is a play on the character of John McClane from the Die Hard movies) for their film personae, and also Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry movies. McBain movies feature many action movie clichés, such as a policeman being gunned down just before retirement, one-liners before dispatching enemies and an inappropriate surname for the main character (Rainier Wolfcastle is Austrian, while his chief character has an Anglo-Celtic surname). The villain for at least one of his movies (if not the whole series) appears to be "Senator Mendoza." The films also parody The Terminator in many respects. Some of his movies include, McBain: You Have the Right to Remain Dead , McBain: Let's Get Silly ("The entire movie is me standing against a brick wall for an hour and a half. It cost 80 million dollars"), and the McBain films up to McBain 5: The Final Chapter . Though his name is usually spelled as "McBain", a poster in the comic book store seen in several episodes spells it as "McBane".
McGarnagle
McGarnagle (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) is the main character of a television series that parodies the 'hard-boiled cop' stereotype of action movies. McGarnagle is similar in appearance, voice, and behavior to Clint Eastwood's character of Harry Callahan from the Dirty Harry films and is described as 'the policeman who solves crimes in his spare time'. In the TV show almost every line includes "McGarnagle" somewhere. The name appears to be a reference to MacGyver.
McGarnagle appears in two episodes: "Bart's Inner Child" and "The Boy Who Knew Too Much."
DVD subtitles misspell the character's name as "McGonigle."
Mr. Sparkle
Mr. Sparkle ( ミスタースパーコル , Misutā Supākoru ? ) is a Japanese dishwashing detergent mascot who bears a strong resemblance to Homer Simpson that "banished dirt to the land of wind and ghosts." Mr. Sparkle is voiced by Sab Shimono in "In
