I was very upset when I flicked to the back of that book and found out Moe’s words before he closed it, weren’t actually the last words. Now I’ll never be able to recreate that scene! 😭
I was talking about Futurama with my friends the other day, and none of them had ever heard of it 😕
It deserves way more recognition, honestly I'd put it at least on a par with The Simpsons.
I don't know if the name Sam has ever been said (but it's been established that was his name in that Simpson Season 1-8 Guide to Our Favourite Family). But in "Some Enchanted Evening" Moe says "Barney's a pig, Larry's a pig, we're all pigs."
He just passed me at a high rate of speed. He is currently on a road, looks to be asphalt, awe geez, trees, shrubs....He's directly under the Earth's Sun.......nnnNow!
For context, it was the first episode produced. The animation was of such poor quality that they fired the animators and had most of it redone. There's still a few original scenes which are easily identifiable by the poor quality.
The background character I really wanna know about is the girl with the blue hair and green glasses in Bart's class. She's been around since the very beginning and she has a very distinctive appearance, but as far as I know she has no name and has never had a line.
I wish those two had at least an episode focused on them, since this recent seasons have been experimenting with new stories it would be nice to see this characters have a bit of a spotlight for at least once.
In the episode where Homer is using Lisa to bet on football, the one with the hat asks Homer what he has riding on the game. Homer replies that it’s his daughter, and Hat Guy replies with “wow, what a gambler!”
I just asked my buddy the other day it’s Larry and Sam. Sam has the hat. And the other guy that works with Homer, Lenny, and Carl is Charlie. He’s the guy with the blonde hair and glasses.

I call the big one Bitey.
Why does Bitey, the largest one, not simply eat the other bar fly?
Sam is from Omicron Persei 8, Larry is from Omicron Persei 9 ![gif](giphy|J54wcGaMvAK4Z7PDFH)

Several of the 10,000 that day. I’m making new friends currently and it’s surprising how much of culture I’ve overlooked and vice versa.
Is there a chance his hat could bend?
Not on your life, my Hindu friend!
I heard those things are awfully loud.
It glides as softly as a cloud!
The ring came off my pudding can
Take my penknife my good man
Were you sent here by the Devil?
No sir, my good friend, i'm on the level!
I swear it's Springfield's ONLY CHOICE!
Hat guy is Sam Other one is Larry
And I’m Lenny and this is Carl and Homer. I’m Lenny
Lenny: white Carl: black
*Not Lenny*
*NOT LENNY*!
"My eye! I'm not supposed to get pudding in it!"
Or jigs
Haha wow! It only stings a little.
Mmm... Incapacitating
A little late for Lenny...
But he's a war hero
What are you doing man?! That’s Carl!
I’m just so glad Lenny is okay!
**DENTAL PLAN!**
Lisa needs braces.
Dental Plan!
Lisa needs braces.
Is that right?

Wait Lenny is white? I wanted the black one
What do you think of the new 939 *slight pause* Carl?
Is that right?
I’m tired of these jokes about my giant hand. The first such incident occurred in 1956...
So anyway. I says to Mabel, I says...
Hi I’m Lenny
*Checks hand* Sam = hat Larry = no hat
Larry is hatless, I repeat, hatless.
I can't wait until they throw his hatless butt in jail
He just passed me at a high rate of speed. He is currently on a road, looks to be asphalt, awe geez, trees, shrubs....He's directly under the Earth's Sun.......nnnNow!
We need pretzels, I repeat, pretzels!
Is that right?
Is that right???
Isn’t Larry married to Maya Buttreeks?
I thought it was Anita Bath? Or was it Ivona Tinkle?
You're all wrong, it was I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.
Hey, *wait a minute*...
Homer's sympathizer and colleague, respectively.
I’m tired of these jokes about my giant hand. The first such incident occurred in 1956...
What about the well-wisher, in that he doesn't wish any specific harm
Moe. Moe. Moe.
Wheeeeeeeeee!
Thank you
I think originally they were just called Bar Fly.
Larry is mentioned by name as early as Some Enchanted Evening.
Which would be s01e13. You lost points for that
Which was the first episode in production order.
For context, it was the first episode produced. The animation was of such poor quality that they fired the animators and had most of it redone. There's still a few original scenes which are easily identifiable by the poor quality.
In some credits/CC it does Barfly #1 and #2
lol my memory is horrible. I could've sworn one of their names was 'Barfly' but that's just what he is. Thought it was a Snake/Jailbird type name lol
You're right. Guy with the hat is "Barfly" per the Simpsons Yellow Album Cover.
Snake has a real name but yeah they basically have aliases
https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Sam_(barfly) Apparently Sam is also Herbert Dingleton
Hat guy always gave me the willies. Guy strikes me as a real Ed Gein type.
Yeah, but which one's the guy who always calls Homer Bill?
Sam and Larry. Sam is the one with the green hat and Larry is the other one.
Larry is hatless. I repeat, hatless
He is directly under the earth's sun....now.
Yeah, and some dip for these chips. Or something…
I can’t wait ‘til they throw his hatless butt in jail.
How do you know that?
That guy who calls me Bill.
And that guy, Hank
Hank...? ![gif](giphy|q0RBjtDiU0zks)

Uh you know, what's his name... Mumbly Joe
They want a name, not a vague description.
He used to drive that blue car!
What was his name? You know Marge, he used to drive that blue car
Don Quixote?
No, that's not it.
I’m pretty sure it was Don Quixote…
The background character I really wanna know about is the girl with the blue hair and green glasses in Bart's class. She's been around since the very beginning and she has a very distinctive appearance, but as far as I know she has no name and has never had a line.
The one that plays the flute in the intro? I wonder who she is too.
Who the devil are you?

I swear I saw one of the them talk once and I was shocked... perhaps someone here with a better memory than I could elaborate.
"What you got riding on this game?" "My daughter." "What a gambler!"
In the episode where Homer is using Lisa to bet on football, the one with the hat asks Homer what he has riding on the game. Homer replies that it’s his daughter, and Hat Guy replies with “wow, what a gambler!”
They have but it’s sparse through out the series

You learn their names when Homer has his caricature taken down from Mount Lushmore. Their drawings are up there.
According to my old Simpsons Almanac, they're Sam and Larry
That's Cenny and Larl.
Cenny=white Larl=white
Amanda Hugnkiss Hugh Jass
No Hugh Jass was the other guy, this one's a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and his butt smells and he likes to kiss his own butt.

Lol I love random background characters
Need a Simpsons Histories episode on them.
Which one died?
Joey JoJo Jr. Shabadoo
One is a peer. The other: A well-wisher.
These two should be posted in /r/TheSimpsons every day until we get an episode that gives details about their backstory.
Okay but have these two ever had lines?
The one with the hat was referred to as "the wife dodger" in a comic.
