Snorky the dolphin was featured in one of the weaker Halloween episodes, Treehouse of Horror 11. The third segment saw Snorky going on a mass killing spree after being freed by Lisa and leading an army of dolphins to banish humans into the sea. There was really not a lot to like about the creature. Apart from the over the top violent murders, it's just hard to get behind a character with limited facial expressions who only communicates in a series of irritating squeaks. Too homicidal to sympathize with, but too ludicrous to be taken seriously as a threat. Snorky just didn't work. When he finally does speak, it's Shearer who lends the voice to the annoying king and delivers the nonsensical backstory about dolphins living on land. He was a poor character in a poor episode, but at least it wasn't canon.
