0215 - Spy Kid
🕑 Added 2023-04-26 08:00:02 +0000 UTCThe last numbered character in this episode is this kid, sadly unaffiliated with the "Spy Kid" franchise.
Sadly he is given no "sparrow"-like codename. His brief exchange with Adil is intriguing and I want to know more about their espionage adventures. Put him on my list of characters that I want to give a spin-off show. It's a long list, with at least 215 entries so far.
With his freedom secured, this kid gets to make a couple of minor appearances, in "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment" and "Kamp Krusty":
Perhaps he has given up the spy life and is enjoying time as an ordinary child.
His only other appearance is in the "Do The Bartman" video, in which he can briefly be seen dancing with his old nemesis Adil at the Berlin Wall:
If you're currently thinking to yourself "But David! I've watched the Do The Bartman video hundreds - if not THOUSANDS of times on my Simpsons Season 2 DVD and never noticed this shot, not once!" then prepare to be SHOCKED: there are two different cuts of this music video, with slightly different footage. You can see the differences here.
Perhaps when we reach this video between season 1 and 2, we can do a deeper dive into who else appears - there are no additional speaking roles that we haven't already covered, but it might be fun to look at some of the background weirdos.
