Though he is the corporate tool of Duff Beer, in one episode he was torn between the company he loved and the truth of the local team, the Isotopes, about how they were going to be moved to Albuquerque. In the end, Duffman followed the slogan What would Jesus do and sided with Homer.

It was revealed that he is Jewish in the episode where Homer and Marge attend Oktoberfest. He is ashamed at having to shout, "This Reich will last a thousand beers! Oh, Ja!" in imitation of the Nazi slogan of a Thousand Year Reich: "I do this, and I'm Jewish," he laments.

His real names have been said to be Sid, Larry, and, in the 2003 episode, ?Old Yeller Belly,? he revealed himself as "plain ol? Barry Duffman." But it has been implied that he has been played by several different people. In his own words (after Lenny said that Duffman had died of liver failure): "Duffman can never die, only the actors who portray him," a reference to corporate mascots such as Bud Man (Budweiser Mascot, which was always portrayed in animated or graphic form.), Ronald McDonald and the Marlboro Man who have also been portrayed by multiple people. Duffman was also shot by Frank Grimes, Jr. in one episode.
