Disco Stu

Disco Stu is a disco aficionado. He is usually featured wearing a rhinestone-encrusted leisure suit. He often refers to himself in the third person (putting a big emphasis on "Stu" and then pausing before saying anything else) and is noted for being mentally stuck in the Disco Era.

He first appeared during a Springfield-wide yard-sale day. Homer was reminiscing about his "disco stud" sequined jacket from the 1970s, that only read "Disco Stu" since he ran out of room on the back of the jacket. Marge told Homer that the jacket wouldn't sell. Someone exclaims, "hey, Stu, you should buy that" to which he replies, "Disco Stu doesn't advertise!" and doesn't buy the jacket.

Disco Stu has also been seen with dead goldfish in his platform shoes, hitting on Marge Simpson at a ski lodge (until he finds out she has children), dancing with Homer after Homer discovers his love of walking, and, most recently, a regular on Homer's talk show. During a "taxi cab confession," Disco Stu revealed that he's actually really worried that he's let Disco define him as a person and fears becoming a "one note guy".

Disco Stu has also appeared as "Discus Stu" in a parody of Odyssey (we first believe he is a suitor to Odysseus' wife, Penelope, but later find out that Discus Stu has enough "ouzo for two-zo" - himself and Bart). He was "Disco Shrew" in the Treehouse of Horror XIII "Dr. Moreau" parody, where Stu was turned into a rodent-like creature.
