The Simpsons: 10 Secondary Characters Voiced By Hank Azaria

9. Disco Stu

First Apperance: "Two Bad Neighbors," Season 7. The ultimate example of an enduring character originally created as a throwaway joke, Disco Stu first appeared outside the Simpsons' house during a neighborhood rummage sale. After Marge confronted Homer about a denim jacket he decorated with rhinestones to read "Disco Stu" (Homer- "I wanted to write 'Disco Stud' but I ran out of space") a nondescript gentleman grabbed the jacket and showed it to a white leisure suit-wearing, afro'ed gentleman, telling him to buy it. That man's immortal answer: "Disco Stu... doesn't advertise." From that moment on, Disco Stu became a staple of bad 70s jokes, random person on the street comments, and was a familiar face in bars and dance-club scenes throughout Springfield. He always refers to himself in the third-person, has tried to pick up Marge at a ski lodge, identifies as a Christian, and is addicted to sugar (which he eats with a rolled-up dollar bill like cocaine.) He's even been given his own back story- at one time he called himself "Nautical Stu" until Marge turned him on to disco music- and is one of many ex-husbands of Marge's sister, Selma. ("Disco Stu just got an annulment from John Paul II.") Funniest Moment: At the Springfield Franchise Expo, Disco Stu extolls the virtues of his planned "Disco Stu's Can't Stop The Learnin' Disco Academy." Disco Stu: "Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continue... A-y-y-y!" (Puts feet on desk; he's wearing platforms with goldfish in the bottoms.) Homer: "Uh, your fish are dead." Disco Stu: "Yeah, I know. I can't get them out."
