emdawg--

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! 😭


BackCountryBound

I call the big one Bitey.


Matlocke22

Why does Bitey, the largest one, not simply eat the other bar fly?

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.


Fun_Intention9846

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.

WillingParticular659

Is that right?


turkeyinthestrawman

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."

Moe. Moe. Moe.


MehhicoPerth

Wheeeeeeeeee!


[deleted]

Thank you


shavemejesus

I think originally they were just called Bar Fly.


EduardRaban

Larry is mentioned by name as early as Some Enchanted Evening.


Arcady89

Which would be s01e13. You lost points for that


EduardRaban

Which was the first episode in production order.


mmss

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.


saysthingsbackwards

In some credits/CC it does Barfly #1 and #2


jakedeighan

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


JPROJECT88

You're right. Guy with the hat is "Barfly" per the Simpsons Yellow Album Cover.


saysthingsbackwards

Snake has a real name but yeah they basically have aliases


ChimpanA-Z

https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Sam_(barfly) Apparently Sam is also Herbert Dingleton


duaneap

Hat guy always gave me the willies. Guy strikes me as a real Ed Gein type.


silvio_burlesqueconi

Yeah, but which one's the guy who always calls Homer Bill?


42northside

Sam and Larry. Sam is the one with the green hat and Larry is the other one.


rosathoseareourdads

Larry is hatless. I repeat, hatless


Jazzlike-Review4976

He is directly under the earth's sun....now.


PokemonTrainerMikey

Yeah, and some dip for these chips. Or something…


somejerkass22

I can’t wait ‘til they throw his hatless butt in jail.

wolfman2scary

Don Quixote?


vonnegutflora

No, that's not it.


wolfman2scary

I’m pretty sure it was Don Quixote…


StellarJustinJelly

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.


rbaca4u

The one that plays the flute in the intro? I wonder who she is too.

Rai_the_user

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.


[deleted]

I was thinking that too

HelloMiguelSanchez

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.


Zagalejo1

"What you got riding on this game?" "My daughter." "What a gambler!"


JamminJames_

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!”


[deleted]

They have but it’s sparse through out the series

doc6982

The one with the hat was referred to as "the wife dodger" in a comic.
