Crazy Old Man

The Crazy Old Man, sometimes simply called the Crazy Guy or Old Jewish Man, is a resident of the Springfield Retirement Castle. He is often seen with Grandpa Simpson and Jasper. He often yells at people and is sometimes seen owning a store. He once had a brief period of stardom after his act of dancing on a street corner singing "The Old Grey Mare" with his pants down became a hit on television. He is almost certainly Jewish, as he speaks with a stereotypical Jewish accent. He also curses in Yiddish in one episode.

In Natural Born Kissers he was revealed as having worked as a studio executive during the making of Casablanca, having hacked on a later suppressed happy ending, with a question mark that left the door open for a sequel. He observes that the quality of studio management has changed over the years. At the time of the Casablanca blunder, they "was just dopes in suits. Not like today!" He diplomatically left unstated whether the difference is that studio executives are more intelligent now, or that they now wear blue jeans.
