The Simpsons: The Impossible Groundskeeper Willie Quiz
Can you remember what sport he teaches and which character he was engaged to?
Groundskeeper Willie was never planned to be the character he would become. Originally he was just conceived as a one joke moment, an angry Springfield school janitor who was bitter at the world and he wasn’t actually meant to be all that memorable.
However, voice actor Dan Castellaneta decided to put on a Scottish accent (after attempting a Spanish and Swedish one with neither really fitting) during the recording session and the rest really was history. Third time was really a charm in matching the perfect voice to the character.
Willie became a recurring character in The Simpsons and any episode which does not feature an appearance from him is clearly the worse for it. Willie is gruff and quick-witted with his constant put downs and has one of the best recurring gags in all of Springfield where it appears he has a pot belly when he has his clothes on but as soon as they come off he is shredded and ripped.
But how much can you remember about Groundskeeper Willie’s time on The Simpsons?
