I was wondering if the Duff Man character in the Simpsons starts every sentence with the word “Duff Man…” because I can think of a lot of examples in which he does-

“Duff Man is thrusting in the direction of the problem.”

“Duff Man…Can’t breathe! Ohhhh yeah!”

“Duff Man is a cool cat.”

My favorite

Titania: “You said if I sleep with you I wouldn’t have to touch a drunk!”  
Duffman: “Duffman says a lot of things!”

I can’t think of a counter-example either.

“Are you ready to get duffed?”  
“That’s a mug, you don’t wanna chug”

And a load more from when he hosted the quiz show.

Tuco (who’s knowledge of Duffman is kinda creepy)

Duffman just always refers to himself in the Third Person. He’s very much like Rickey Henderson in that regard.

Can’t we just let Duffman have his privacy? This is why he shuns the spotlight.

Didn’t Duff Man die in the show recently?
