Recurring fictional characters

Fallout Boy

Fallout Boy

In the series, Fallout Boy first appeared in a 1950s Radioactive Man film serial shown at a comic book convention in the episode "Three Men and a Comic Book", and it was 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).

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 (Radioactive Man). 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, it hit Rod. Rod then got a pint sized version of RM's powers, and became Fallout Boy.

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 favourite of Lisa and Maggie Simpson. Bart, however, hates them and often refers to them as "The Crappy Little Elves". The movies they starred in include Return of the Happy Little Elves, An Unamed Christmas Movie, The Happy Little Elves Meet The Curious Bear Cubs, The Happy Little Elves in Tinkly Winkly Town (although the subtitles read Happy Little Alison Tinkly Winkly Town), and The Happy Little Elves meet Fuzzy Snuggleduck.

Itchy & Scratchy

Itchy and Scratchy are a super-violent cartoon cat and mouse duo in the style of Tom and Jerry 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 and Friends Hour": Uncle Ant, Disgruntled Goat, and Ku Klux Klam. 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 is a doll for young girls. It is an obvious parody of a Barbie doll.

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. The doll was originally designed to be edible, but while kids didn't much like the taste of dried onion meal, they loved the dolls. A second, plastic Malibu Stacy took America by storm.

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".

Death at the door

In the 'Reaper Madness' segment of "Treehouse of Horror XIV", Death comes for Bart. After a comical around-the-house chase (Yakety Sax is played as background music), Homer kills Death (in revenge for "Snowball I and JFK") with a bowling ball. After dumping the bones in the trash, Homer tries on Death's robe. The flesh of his arm quickly rots away as he realises that he has become the new Grim Reaper. Homer soon becomes used to being Death and having a skeletal appendage that, when touching people, kills them. He is sent to claim the life of Jasper, one of the residents at the Springfield Retirement Castle. When he sees that Homer has filled the position, the old man inquires, "Where's the regular guy? Where's Doug?" Homer informs Jasper that he has taken over for him, to which Jasper wistfully replies "Aw, I liked Doug." Homer then kills him. Image File history File links Death_Simpsons. ...

Poochie

When network executives decided that The Itchy and Scratchy Show needed an "update" to keep the interest of its audience, they devised Poochie, a cartoon dog "with an attitude". After widespread auditions, Homer was chosen to provide Poochie's voice. The character debuted to an unreceptive audience following a massive publicity campaign; he only served to interfere with the well-oiled machine of hyperviolent slapstick that Itchy and Scratchy had perfected over the years. When dissatisfied viewers flooded the network with letters crying for Poochie's immediate removal, if not death, the executives quickly decided to get rid of the character. Homer begged for another chance, insisting that Poochie would grow on the audience; this argument held little weight until the actress who performed voices for both Itchy and Scratchy declared her support for Poochie as well. Homer was shocked, however, when the next cartoon aired: it contained a hastily-animated, retroscripted segment stating that Poochie had decided to return to his "home planet", and that he died when his spaceship crashed.

Worker and Parasite are a cartoon cat and mouse, vaguely similar to Itchy and Scratchy, who appear during the episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled". When Itchy and Scratchy move to the Gabbo show, which competes briefly with the Krusty the Clown show, Krusty is forced to air a popular Russian cartoon called Worker and Parasite as a replacement. He introduces them as "Eastern Europe's favorite cat and mouse team". The cartoon begins with an introduction in foreign words. The cartoon then rolls and they hop around insanely and speak a language no one can understand. They eventually jump into a furnace and are heard muttering what sounds like "so much fire!" The end credits simply read "Ednut Hoch Hech!" When it finishes, a completely dumbfounded Krusty exclaims, "What the hell was that?"
