genuinely one of the least funny characters on television
>>151361298the concept of adding this character to your show is so fucking dumb it's actually kind of funny in a meta way
>>151360706My mom unironically liked this guy as a kid.
>>151361393It's weird to me that "jump the shark" entered the lexicon when this guy came into the world over a decade earlier. I guess "introduce the Gazoo" doesn't roll off the tongue as well, though.
>>151361393Yeah.Are there any examples of later season addition characters that actually took off in sitcoms? Always seems like they're duds.
>>151361666Pat Morita or Al Molinaro in Happy Days?the Simpsons is full of them, Fat Tony, Sea Captain, Chalmers, Jeff Albertson, Moleman, Frink, McBain, Nick Riviera, the Blue Haired Lawyer, Roger Meyers Jr, the squeaky teen, Drederick Tatum, Dr Hibbert, Lionel Hutz, Snake

I guess I still think of them all as early Simpsons.The Happy Days example is good. Woody on Cheers and Frank & Estelle on Seinfeld too. Lots of good counterpoints. I guess it does work out sometimes, and lame characters being introduced in last seasons might just be a symptom of the show getting stale in general. Or they feel lame because a show is already on its last legs. Maybe I should've wrote last/near last season characters instead.
>>151361424I can see him being like the minions on facebook having memes and sassy phrases attached to images of him looking "cool."
>>151361644Happy Days even had its own form of Gazoo (Mork) that spun its own spin-off show
>>151360706He let the power get to his head.
