History Characters / TheSimpsonsNuclearPowerPlantShopkeepers

->'''Voiced by:''' ''"Three Men and a Comic Book"''

* GrumpyBear: His default mood is being a grumpy and surly PerpetualFrowner.

* AlienBlood: Has been shown to bleed green but claims that's only the first few drops and it will come out red afterwards.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Between his "not in public!" comment when Homer kissed him in "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Bluefish," waxing poetic about stupid prettyboy quarterbacks for a bit too long, secretly writing and enjoying gay fanfiction, calling himself Homer's life partner (and frequent jokes about him having a similar place in Homer's life to Marge), treating Homer going to other bars as if he were cheating on him, and using the excuse that he only kissed Waylon to "see what kissing a man was like" despite the fact he's kissed multiple men over the course of the series, an argument for Moe not being completely straight could definitely be made. Also falls into the Hypocrite category as he was shown in earlier years to be homophobic, although that's definitely lessened exponentially over time, to the point where he was the first townsperson to speak up in defense of legalizing gay marriage in Springfield.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Claims to be "half Monster-Half Armenian", his father was once shown to be a Yeti, in one episode he cut himself and green stuff came out, and he once showed Bart and Milhouse a jar containing his tail.

-->'''Moe (after beating a fake Homer with a bat):''' Who is the sociopath now?
* BadassBystander: Moe is one of the most combat capable characters in the series either with his shotgun or with his fists.

* BerserkButton: Whoever that one punk kid is that keeps bothering his place with prank calls. The second he gets even the slightest clue who it is he drops everything to get sweet, sweet revenge.

* BrooklynRage: Can be pissed of really easily just by being humiliated by a prank call and has a New York accent (since his voice is based off of ''Creator/AlPacino'').

-->'''Ned Flanders:''' ''(In an uncharacteristic bout of rage)'' You ugly, hate-filled man!\\

* OedipusComplex: Implied. In the [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E5TheBlunderYears The Blunder Years]] it's revealed that Burns basically raised Smithers, yet Smither's feelings for Burns are hardly fatherly.

* AllGaysLoveTheater: Wrote and starred in a Malibu Stacy musical
* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Fastidious, detail-oriented, and persnickety to a fault; while the show doesn't directly say that he suffers from some form of mental disorder, a supplemental promotional advertisement for "Who Shot Mr. Burns" has stated that he has [[SuperOCD OCD]]. It's telling that when Mr. Burns reassigns Smithers to bathroom cleaning duty in "Marge Gets A Job," Smithers ''genuinely enjoys'' his new task.
** Smithers' comment that he will "wither and die" without Mr. Burns in "Homer the Smithers" suggests at least some degree of separation anxiety.

* RepetitiveName: Their full names are Lenford Leonard/Lenford and Carlton Carlson.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Comedian, [[https://www.google.com/search?q=%22rich+hall%22+&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjypb6Wws7uAhWsQxUIHRAsAl8Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=%22rich+hall%22+&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzICCAAyAggAMgIIADIECAAQQzICCAA6BggAEAgQHlCzkgNY-JUDYKaaA2gAcAB4AYABigOIAZAGkgEHMS4yLjAuMZgBAKABAcABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=fgIbYPLuIayH1fAPkNiI-AU&bih=512&biw=360&client=ms-android-hmd-rev2&prmd=ivn#imgrc=ig-BJ40WNVuyZM Rich Hall]] always claimed Moe's likeness was based on him which Matt Groening eventually confirmed.

* PermaStubble: The only character, along with Homer and his father, who has a 5 o'clock shadow.

* Bart calls him Mr Lenford in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS23E14AtLongLastLeave At Long Last Leave]]", confirming that Lenford was a surname.

* KnifeNut: Keeps a rusty and dull butcher's knife under the bar, kept in case whoever it is that keeps taunting him with those phone calls slips up.

* Homer calls him Lenford in Season 13's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E21TheFryingGame The Frying Game]]". Again not clear if this is his first name or last name.

[[folder:Lenny Leonard and Carl Carlson]]

* RepetitiveName: Their full names are Lenford Leonard and Carlton Carlson.

!!Lenford "Lenny" Leonard and Carlton "Carl" Carlson

* SuddenNameChange: Depending on the episode, his last name is either Lenford or Leonard.

** He also greatly resembles [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/9/95/MrsSmithers.png/revision/latest/top-crop/width/360/height/360?cb=20170512021955 his mother]].

* {{Foil}}: To [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Bill Dauterive]] in a meta sense. Moe and Bill are both constantly depressed and lonely, have self-destructive tendencies, and have had a lot of creepy interactions with women, particularly the wives of the protagonist. However, Moe is extremely confrontational and has a HairTriggerTemper in contrast to Bill, who is an ExtremeDoormat and constantly lets other people order him around. Basically, Bill is like Moe just with even lower self-esteem, to the point that he lets himself be taken advantage of.

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He was hit by a train in "Lisa Goes Gaga", but is back alive and well in "Moonshine River".

** In a humorous example, Smithers is shown [[https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/242915389_4165095573601876_5011191123166538468_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=825194&_nc_ohc=Yo9LL8VZn-wAX8CVJ8g&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=eb773a3ed76b3df14ea30c1d49d4a4b7&oe=61768C50 flirting]] with a ''mall Santa'' in an official Twitter Christmas promo.

* ArmouredClosetGay / ClosetGay: In earlier seasons, Smithers was indicated to be gay until it became a running joke that Smithers would try to deny his feelings for his boss or hide his sexuality in front of others.
** Downplayed as the show has progressed. While he hasn't outright admitted his feelings directly towards Mr. Burns, it seems that he's not exactly in the closet anymore. He's involved with Springfield's gay community off the clock, and other characters outright know he's gay and [[SocietyMarchesOn treat it as a non-issue]].

* ArmouredClosetGay: In earlier seasons, Smithers was indicated to be gay until it became a running joke that Smithers would try to deny his feelings for his boss or hide his sexuality in front of others.

* ClosetGay: He'll probably still be secretly pining for Mr. Burns when the universe reaches its heat death. Several episodes indicate that he's active in Springfield's gay community when he's off the clock, though. He was also visibly disgusted when he found himself in a strip club.

* CatSmile: Sports this [[https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/243037249_4165043386940428_6014436626624834718_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=825194&_nc_ohc=3ZkPYmsJGg8AX8C978z&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=6c5934b69d5c37499429a60bf801a11f&oe=61750687 expression]] once in a while, unsurprisingly during his friendlier and less antagonistic scenes.

* PunnyName: His full name, Waylon Smithers, sounds a lot like "Weyland the Smith" from Germanic/Norse mythology.
