Archief - Simpsonsvraagje
Het archief is een bevroren moment uit een vorige versie van dit forum, met andere regels en andere bazen. Deze posts weerspiegelen op geen enkele manier onze huidige ideeën, waarden of wereldbeelden en zijn op sommige plaatsen gecensureerd wegens ontoelaatbaar. Veel zijn in een andere tijdsgeest gemaakt, al dan niet ironisch - zoals in het ironische subforum Off-Topic - en zouden op dit moment niet meer gepost (mogen) worden. Toch bieden we dit archief nog graag aan als informatiedatabank en naslagwerk. Lees er hier meer over of start een gesprek met anderen.

The Yes Man is a character known for bellowing "Ye-e-e-es?!" in a rising inflection, and appears to be highly eccentric in both his speech and appearance. During his first appearance, in "Mayored to the Mob", Homer asked "Why do you talk like that?"; Yes-Guy's response was "I had a stroooooooooooooooke!" He has appeared several times working with several jobs: waiter, employee at Costington's, Death Row guard, and ice cream man. Apparently, his name is Raoul, but he has been referred to by Homer Simpson as "that jerk that goes 'Yeeeeesss!'" in "Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays". This line was left out of the episode when it aired in the UK on Sky One in 2005.
He is a tribute to a recurring Frank Nelson character from The Jack Benny Show and later Sanford and Son, whose trademark greeting in all his characters was a loud, drawn-out "Yeeeeesss?!". Inexplicably, the original character could always be found working behind the service counter of whatever shop Benny or Fred Sanford might be patronizing, and his Simpsonian counterpart is equally omnipresent. There was also a Brazilian version seen, uttering a Portuguese variation of the catchphrase ("Si-i-i-i-i-i-i-m-m-m-m-m?" - meaning yes in Portuguese).
The Yes Man shares the physical characteristics of his real-life counterpart: he can be described as a rather squat, stocky man with a moustache, and black hair receding into a widow's peak.
Some fans were initially under the impression that the character was intended to resemble Vincent Price, as Dan Castellaneta whom he is currently voiced by, uses a very similar voice when he impersonates Price.
