The Simpsons: 10 Best Characters Only In One Episode

9. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo

Okay, so technically speaking, this guy has appeared more than once -€“ like many Simpsons alumni, his face has briefly been spotted among the cast of thousands in a later episode. Nevertheless, the outright best-named character in the history of anything deserves to be included in pretty much any Simpsons list. In fact, any list, regardless of subject matter.

Anyway, back in The Last Temptation of Homer in Season 5, the big man found himself infatuated with new co-worker Mindy Simmons and unsure of what to do, so naturally he visited Moe€™s Tavern to solicit advice from a bunch of single drunks. And if you'€™re a true Simpsons fan, you already know the rest.

In an attempt to keep things on the down low, Homer tells Moe that a friend of his is in the middle of a situation with a female co-worker and, as only he could, randomly comes up with the name €˜Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo€™. When Moe pronounces it the worst name he€™'s ever heard, the bearded, bespectacled gentleman at the end of the bar flees in tears as Barney plaintively calls out after him. And thus, many years later, thousands of Internet users found the perfect screen name.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
