List of recurring characters from The Simpsons

This article contains a list of recurring characters from The Simpsons with descriptions.

"Yes" guy

The "Yes" guy is a character known for saying "yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeessss?" in a rising inflection, and appears to be highly eccentric in both his speech and appearance. He has appeared several times working with several jobs: waiter, employee at Costington's, Death Row worker, and ice cream man. He claims he speaks this way because of a stroke ("I had a STRO-ooo-oo-oke"). Apparently, his name is Raoul, but he has been referred to by Homer as "that jerk who goes 'yeeeeesss?'" in "Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays". He was inspired by Frank Nelson of The Jack Benny Show and later Sanford and Son, whose trademark greeting in all his characters was a long drawn- out "yeeeeesss?". Nelson's character always seemed to inexplicably be working wherever Benny or Fred Sanford patronized, and his Simpsonian counterpart is equally omnipresent.
