What Simpsons characters will not get their own episodes or pasts delved into?

The slick salesman. He appears in different settings, with different personas. If you don’t know, he is the one who puts the comic book guy in his place:
Comic book guy: Yes. I would like to return this quote unquote ultimate belt.
Salesman: Do you have a receipt, quote unquote sir?
and
Salesman: Whoa, whoa, a fat sarcastic Star Trek fan. You must be a hit with the ladies, pal.

I know that I’m missing some dialogue, any help?
Also, Sideshow Mel, Luscius Sweet (sp.), and Lunchlady Doris.
BTW, Miss Hoover has a drinking problem.

I think it’s amazing how Disco Stu has grown from a one-shot gag - Homer’s failed rhinestone embroidery effort - to a recurring character.

How about Gunther, the tubby little German exchange student.

“Don’t make me run, I am full of chocolate!”

I thought Uter was missing. Wasn’t there an episode where Uter’s parents were in Prinicpal Skinner’s office asking what happened to him?

Uter. Crap, your right.

Was that a treehouse of horror episode- because I remember he got turned into Bratwurst on one of them.

Yup, Uter’s parents wanted to know why he never came back from the field trip to the Civil War reenactment camp. He was the child who couldn’t catch up to the bus and was beaten to death by the soldiers.

As his mother said, “We just vant closure!”

I was always amazed at the resemblence between Baby Gerald and Helena Bonham Carter.

:frowning: Indeed.

But then that thing with the fish was really more than we wanted to know about you anyway :slight_smile: .

Dolph, (I think its his name) Kerney gets more lines, and we know he has a kid. Jimbo cries when A knife is drawn on him and poked a dead body with a stick, but what of Dolph the straight heaird member of the trio?

How about Grimey when is he coming back?.. What ever happened to him?

Grimey died by trying to be as stupid as Homer and grabbing some high-voltage wires, so we won’t be seeing any more of him. He’s gone the way of Dr. Monroe and Bleeding Gums Murphy.

Don’t forget the KrustyBurger Drive-Thru Kid!
“It’s a federal offense to taunt the drive-thru workers sir!” (or something like that)

Has Dr. Hibbert had a dedicated episode/storyline?

How about the old Sea Captain?

Yarrr, the Sea Captain get plenty of good lines.

How about Lindsey- the high powered women executive type (last scene checking out the “newly single” Homer).

Uter has appeared in at least one additional episode since then, “Skinner’s Sense of Snow.” I know this because I saw him and yelled “Uter’s back!” thus incurring odd looks from the people with whom I was watching.

Yeah, I love how Disco Stu has evolved, too. And I think we did get a little window on his soul there, for just a bit, with the taxicab confessions thing.

As for characters who won’t get fleshed out:

Capitol City Goofball (although he’s in politics now…Perhaps a skeleton will come sneaking out of the closet?)

Maude Flanders (I think all chance of THAT is gone. Hehe…flesh.)

Helen Lovejoy

Each individual Nahasapeenapetilon octoplet. Does Dazzle EVER get it together? Does Gheet/Red Baron ever take off that horrible beard?

Stampy the Elephant. (Who IS the man behind the elephant?)

How about a list of characters about whom we know more than we need to? Ahem, I’m looking at you, Seymour Skinner. Lousy writers…

I know… just Quoting a recent episode where homer pulled out Grimey’s funeral Pamphlet and asked what happened to him.

I was going also going to suggest Sea Captain. “Yarrr! I need back-history!”

We know Hibbert never really went to medical school, from the episode where the kids are given a curfew after homer drives through the school, and the kids start telling secrets.

What about Rainier Wolfcastle? He needs an episode!

“Upon closer inspection, these are loafers.”

Actually, to me, there’s more of a resemblence to Jennifer Connelly (not that I mind).

There was a bit of background on Rainier Wolfcastle in the episode where Bart was dating his daughter.

What do we know about Sideshow Mel aside from the fact that the bone in his hair is from a disasterous attempt to remove bubble gum?

Cletus the slack-jawed yokel and his lovely wife Lorleen (?). They deserve their own spin-off!

Lugash.
