Poochie

Poochie the Dog

Gender

Owner

First Appearance

Poochie is a character on The Itchy & Scratchy Show. The network executives decided that the show needed an "update" to keep the interest of its audience, so they devised Poochie, a cartoon dog "with an attitude". Poochie has a song, the Poochie rap.

History

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.

Poochie's first appearance

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, redubbed segment in which Poochie, voiced by Roger Meyers, Jr. instead of Homer, stated he had decided to return to his "home planet." Dialogue written in bloody letters across the screen read, "Note: Poochie died on his way back to his home planet," and cuts immediately back to Krusty telling kids happily, "Poochie's dead!", Much to Homer's dismay, to what Bart tells him that maybe the world could be ready to Poochie in a few years.

Despite his death, however, he made a brief non-speaking cameo in the Itchy and Scratchy episode The Tears of a Clone at Scratchy's funeral, hinting that he revived or a possibly continuity error.

He appears periodically on merchandise such as dolls and T-shirts. Possibly a parody of the "nostalgia" trends of consumer culture. Even mascots of Poochie are used such as one portraying Neo from The Matrix during the Krusty's Kristmas on Ice Show.

In real life

Poochy (or perhaps a human costumed as him) is seen with nunchuks pursuing Bart and Lisa up a tree in Dogtown.

Non-Canon Appearances

Treehouse of Horror IX

Poochie had a cameo in the segment The Terror of Tiny Toon skateboarding down the street before being hit by a police car driven by Itchy and Scratchy.

The Simpsons Game

He is the main enemy on the Grand Theft Scratchy level, where he acts and speaks like a rapper. After Marge and Lisa re-form the Ice Cream cars, Poochie talks to the Feline "ho's" watching the show, ordering them to destroy the cars. Using her Hand of Buddha, Lisa defeats the prostitutes, while Marge sends the dogs to destroy the stage on which Poochie stands. Marge apologized and told him that "even he isn't a match for a stay-at-home mom with too much time on her hands." When Lisa agrees with Marge, Poochie only tells her "Word to [her] Mother." He also witnesses the senator being killed by a falling sign.

When doing his introduction, he briefly swears, as he yells "P TO THE DOUBLE-O "CH" I E / I'M THE DOG ON [BEEP] WHO'S TO THE EXTREME"

The Simpsons: Tapped Out

He's a mascot character in Krustyland and a parade balloon in Springfield.

'The Simpsons' pokes fun at Trump's canine hair, tiny hands

Homer and Marge talk politics and skewer The Donald in the process.

"The Simpsons" has never been shy about making fun of American politics.

Several presidents have been Simpsons-fied on the long-running animated comedy series. Bill Clinton, famously, was always hitting on Marge. George H.W. Bush was a neighbor for a while.

As the 2016 race for the US presidency increasingly resembles a "Simpsons" episode, it was perhaps inevitable that the animated series take aim at both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Homer Simpson als Häkel-Geschenk

Ich vernachlässige meinen Blog gerade etwas und das wird auch noch ein Weilchen so weiter gehen. Erst die Feiertage und die vielen Vorbereitungen hierfür und jetzt steht P. und mein Umzug in die andere Stadt kurz bevor. Für baldiges Internet dort (wohl noch bevor wir wirklich umziehen) hat P. gesorgt, aber dennoch muss ich mich erstmal um andere Dinge kümmern. Finger von der Wolle lasse ich dennoch nicht ;)

Die Anleitung ist von Anna Vozika und ich habe sie über amigurumipatterns.net gekauft und die 10 $ waren es wirklich wert. Auf Englisch war das Ganze geschrieben, aber super einfach zu verstehen. Lediglich den "Cluster Stitch" musste ich mir fix bei YouTube anschauen ;)

Nichts für Anfänger, aber für etwas erfahrene Häkeln-Menschen sollte der Homer kein Problem darstellen. Gehäkelt habe ich ihn wie immer mit Catania von Schachenmayr und einer 2,5er Nadel.

Homer Simpson zu häkeln hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und es war mal wieder eine kleine Herausforderung. Besondern schön war es von Mal zu Mal zu sehen wie er Gestalt annimmt und langsam aber sicher aussah wie Homer :)

Das Geschenk im allgemeinen kam sehr gut an, aber H. ist auch der ultimative Simpsons-Fan. Auch der gehäkelte Homer hat einen Platz auf der Couch gefunden, er sieht aber so einsam aus ohne den Rest seiner gelben Familie. ich denke für die nächsten Geburtstage und Weihnachten brauche ich für H. keine Idee mehr, Springfield und besonders die Simpsons Familie haben noch so einige Mitglieder ;)

Wer so lange nicht warten kann: klickt hier um zu meiner Facebook-Seite zu kommen, dort sind auch die restlichen Geschenke abgebildet.

Die Idee ist ja klasse!

der Homi ist der Knaller. Ich würde total gerne mal "Santas Little Helper" häkeln. Weißt Du, ob es dafür eine Häkelanleitung gibt?

Tut mir leid, dass ich dir nicht helfen kann :/ Aber falls du mal auf weitere gute Anleitungen triffst, kannst du mir ja vielleicht Bescheid sagen :)

Episode 1.The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson Edit

[as Homer, Barney, Lenny, Carl, and the two barflies (Larry the Wife Dodger and Sam the Ear Bender) walk in]

Moe: Yeah, alright, listen up, guys, the Springfield Police have told me that 91% of all traffic accidents are caused by you six guys. [Moe's regulars exchange high-fives and cheer in triumph.] Moe: Yeah, I know, I know, but the bad news is we gotta start having designated drivers. [the regulars moan and groan] We'll choose the same way they pick the Pope. [sets a giant glass jar with pickled eggs floating in it on the table] Everybody reach in and draw a pickled egg. Whoever gets the black egg stays sober tonight. Homer: New York is a hellhole. And you know how I feel about hellholes. Lisa: Dad, you can't judge a place you've never been to. Bart: Yeah, that's what people do in Russia. Homer: I'm gettin' out of this town alive if it kills me!

[Homer tries klav kalash from a street vendor]

Homer: Now, what do you have to wash that awful taste out of my mouth? Klav Kalash vendor: Mountain Dew or crab juice. Homer: Blech! Ew! Geez. I'll take a crab juice. Bart: Excuse me, is this Mad Magazine? Woman: No, it's Mademoiselle. We're buying our sign on the installment plan. Bart: [laughs] Seriously, though, my name is Bart Simpson. My father has a subscription. I'd like the grand tour, please. Woman: Listen, kid, you probably think lots of crazy stuff goes on in there, but this is just a place of business. Bart: Oh. okay. [As Bart leaves, Mad's mascot Alfred E. Neuman opens the door] Alfred: Get me Kaputnik and Fonebone. I wanna see their drawings for the "New Kids on the Bleech". [Bart's jaw drops upon surprise] Alfred: And where's my furshlugginer pastrami sandwiches? Bart: Wow! I will never wash these eyes again. Homer: And that's when the CHUDs came at me. Marge: Oh, Homer, of course you're going to have negative view of New York if all you focus on are the pimps and the CHUDs. Homer: Hey! Hey! HEY!! Worker: What? Homer: Your boss told you you're fired! Worker: I'll get him. Barney: All I remember about the last two months was giving a guest lecture at Villanova; or maybe it was a street corner.

Meanwhile, a group of Scottish men watching the game stare boredly at nothing in particular].

Groundskeeper Willie: Ach! They call this a soccer riot? Come on, boys, let's take 'em to school!

[The men, rolling up their sleeves, start to pound anyone who comes near them. It's not long before the entire stadium is embroiled in a voilent riot. The Simpsons stand next to their seats.]

Homer: Now, I believe you have some sort of firearm for me. Clerk: Well, let's see here. According to your background check, you've been in a mental institution. Homer: Yeah. Clerk: frequent problems with alcohol. Homer: [nervously] Yeah. Clerk: . beat up President Bush! Homer: Former President Bush. [the clerk slaps a red rubber stamper on Homer's printout] Homer: "Potentially dangerous"? Clerk: Relax, that just limits you to three handguns or less. Homer: Woo hoo! Marge: I'm sorry Homer, no weapons. Homer: A gun is not a weapon, Marge. It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or. uh, a. an alligator. Moe: [at an NRA meeting] So last night I was closing up the bar, when some young punk comes in and tries to stick me up. Sideshow Mel: Whatever did you do, Moe? Moe: Well, it coulda been a real ugly situation but, luckily, I managed to shoot him in the spine. [Audience cheers and applauds] Moe: Yeah. I guess the next place he robs better have a ramp!

Homer: Um, you probably left them at work. On another topic, guess who was picked to host the next NRA meeting! [points gun to himself] Marge: Homer, I told you this morning, no guns at the dinner table. Homer: You said the breakfast table. Marge: It's the same table! Homer: Listen, if it'll make you feel any better, I'll put the safety on. [attempts to put the safety on, but accidentally fires the gun.

[He tries again, but again accidentally fires it, this time hitting the same picture of Marge square in the chest] Homer: I'd better just put it down. [sets the gun on the table.

The knife sails through the air, and stabs the same picture of Marge right between the eyes] Lisa: No offense Mom, but that was pretty cool. Homer: Hey anybody want a beer. [Shoots the can open] Dr. Hibbert: You use your gun as a can opener? Homer: I use it for everything! Watch me turn on the TV. [Shoots the TV, it turns on, and a cowboy onscreen falls down dead] Cleatus: Are you some kind of moron?! Louie: You coulda hurt somebody! Homer: What? Krusty: Hey, yutz! Guns aren't toys!

We may never find you, and we should probably all stop looking. But one thing's for sure… you do exist. Kent: Strong words. Strong, bewildering words.

John Herbert

Primary Employment

Retired U.S. Army Veteran
Elder Member of Skull and Bones Society

John Herbert is an elderly pedohebephile[1] who lives on Spooner Street with his old, crippled dog, Jesse. He has a high-pitched, very soft, effeminate voice and with a slight whistle lisp. He is often seen wearing a light blue robe and slippers and uses a zimmer-frame walker to get around. He is a retired United States Army veteran. He becomes fixated on Chris in "To Love and Die in Dixie" when Chris took up a paper route and developed an unhealthy obsession with him. When the family returned from the South, he left 113 messages asking what had happened to the paper boy. Herbert frequently seems to make inappropriate, sexually-tinged comments to teenage boys. It is revealed later on that he is the eldest member of the Skull and Bones secret society. He is shown to be Roman Catholic and goes to the same church as the Griffins in "Boys Do Cry".

Origins

Originally stated in the DVD commentary for "To Love and Die in Dixie" in Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection, he was going to be a creepy driver of a school bus that Chris was afraid to go near.

Herbert has a high voice and speaks with a whistle. According to Seth MacFarlane, Herbert was created when Mike Henry would use his voice to scold the writers when they had trouble coming up with new ideas for episodes. He admitted that it made him laugh every time and decided to adapt him as a character. Mike Henry had also said that the inspiration was a senior citizen that used to work with him at a grocery store.

Military Service

Herbert is a retired United States Army veteran. He is seen in "Padre de Familia" at a Veteran's Day festival in Quahog Park in his dress uniform singing the song "God Bless the USA". In "German Guy" it is revealed that he served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, but was captured by the Germans, and sent to a concentration camp, because he was believed to be gay and was given hard labor by Franz Gutentag.

In "To Love and Die in Dixie", Chris is delivering newspapers to his house, and he tries to persuade Chris to come inside. At the end, he leaves 113 messages on the phone, and they are all about Chris.

In "From Method to Madness", he sees Jeff Campbell, a teenage nudist, and says "Holy moly, it must be my birthday!"

In the album "Family Guy: Live in Vegas", he sings the Broadway song "One Boy" from Bye Bye Birdie, and is sung by a female character about her boyfriend.

In Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, he is heard during the intermission asking, "Chris do you have a shower scene? Or do I have to keep dreamin'?"

In "North by North Quahog", he disguises himself as an eighth-grader and asks two boys to dance. Brian points out that he is "one ugly eighth-grader".

When they are singing the song after Peter is tested and found to be retarded in the DVD cut of "Petarded", you can see him dancing towards the end.

When Chris takes his shirt off in the bathroom in "Brian the Bachelor", he climbs up a ladder and spies on him, mimicking a scene in National Lampoon's Animal House.

In "The Perfect Castaway", he asks Brian for an ice-cream truck with which to entice children, which would later appear in "And Then There Were Fewer".

In "The Courtship of Stewie's Father", Chris breaks his window with a baseball, and Lois decides to pay for the broken window out of Chris's allowance. At Herbert's suggestion, Peter makes Chris do chores for Herbert. He later takes Chris out to dinner. At that point, he fantasizes about life with Chris. In his fantasy family, he and Chris have two children, a boy who resembles Chris, and a girl who resembles Herbert. In the last scene of the episode, he turns on the TV to an announcement of the Little League World Series. He perks up and responds: "Jackpot!"

in "Petergeist", he saves Chris from being eaten by a giant evil tree.

When Chris loses his paper route due to Superstore U.S.A. in "Hell Comes to Quahog", Herbert gets shot by the truck that's launching newspapers. He lays there moaning in pain along with Jesse, then proceeds to passing out snoring with the usual whistling.

After Lois and Peter come down to stop Chris from rehearsing loudly in the garage in "Saving Private Brian", he gets angry at them and leaves to loiter in the park. To get to the park, he jumps on a motorcycle driven by Herbert.

In "Whistle While Your Wife Works", he sends his dog Jesse out for a walk, and the dog attempts to eat Peter's finger, which was previously blown off.

In "Prick Up Your Ears", he is lined up to shake Stewie after he is shaken by Chris and Brian. Later in the episode, Stewie steals his dentures in the night while he is sleeping and dreaming about Fred Savage.

With no police in Quahog in "Barely Legal", Peter states that he had hired some homeless boys to pickpocket old, rich people. When they begin to shuffle through Herbert's pockets and clothes he takes pleasure.

Herbert can be seen in line at the Griffin's garage sale in "Road to Rupert". Approaching Chris, Herbert asks him if he is selling any clothes from the summer. Chris then tells Herbert that all he has fitting that description is a pair of shorts, to which Herbert replies "Sweet Jesus!".

After Stewie takes over Chris' paper route in "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)", Herbert noticed the new paper boy in which Stewie tells him to piss off and Herbert takes it as a challenge.

Herbert made an appearance in "Play It Again, Brian" in which Peter and Lois hire him to babysit the Griffin children because he's "watched" several children. While doing so he makes several attempts to seduce Chris, at one point trying to get Chris to bathe him; Meg does it instead, and Herbert exclaims "Rats!". Later he reads Peter and the Wolf to Chris as a bedtime story, changing the moral to suit his own means, and Chris asks Herbert if he's a pedophile. the reaction to this is not seen. During the closing credits, he is shown sleeping at the foot of Chris' bed, where the Evil Monkey tries but fails to threaten him.

In "Family Gay", he confused a jockey for a child; and "420" he attempts to snare children in a butterfly net.

In "Road to the Multiverse", he appeared in the Disney universe parodying the Evil Queen from Snow White.

In "Hannah Banana," Herbert sneaks into Chris' room at night to paint his portrait; this is shown in a fast-forward playback of a surveillance video set up to prove or disprove the existence of the Evil Monkey.

In "Big Man on Hippocampus," Chris believes he's invisible, running down the street naked as Herbert sees him off-screen.

Herbert also appeared in "Dial Meg for Murder", when he was buying popsicles, roofies, and a mallet at Mort's Pharmacy.

In "April in Quahog", the world was going to an end. He said to Chris "My time of waiting is almost over" wearing only underwear.

In "And Then There Were Fewer", he appears in his formal suit driving his ice cream truck both call backs to previous episodes. When they find the laundry room, Herbert says, "Mine is smaller", after Stewie says, "My secret room is bigger". He reveals that James Woods once replaced his medication with methamphetamine.

Herbert has an epic battle with his Nazi tormentor as a POW in "German Guy", after unsuccessfully attempting to warn Chris about him. The DVD animatic unofficially gives Herbert the first name of "John".

Herbert stares in shock as Chris swallows hot dogs in "Killer Queen".

Ernie the Giant Chicken takes Herbert's ice cream truck with the intention of running down Peter in "Internal Affairs".

In the uncensored version of "Brian's Play", Herbert arrives at the Quahog Playhouse in a carriage pulled by a team of boys.

Herbert's first name is revealed officially as "John" in "Valentine's Day in Quahog". Herbert also helps Sandy, his grand-niece, score a date with Chris.

Herbert chases Chris around in circles on his bike during the King of the Hill opening to "Bigfat".

Herbert lurks in the shadows of Chris' room in "Grimm Job".

An African version of Herbert appears in "Scammed Yankees". He appears dressed as Tom Tucker in "A Lot Going On Upstairs" when Brian tries to fool Stewie by dressing the family and neighbors as each other.
