| ~ Duffman's catchphrase |
Duffman is the second major retired mascot of Duff Beer.
(For the man playing Duffman, see Barry.)
History[]
The character was invented by H.K. Duff's grandfather when he repurposed a fascist icon because he could not obtain the rights to Woody Woodpecker. The latest Duffman, Barry retired from the Duff beer company in From Beer to Paternity.
Appearance[]
Duffman is traditionally a masculine fit blonde male, who wears a red cape, blue sleeveless bodysuit with "Duff on the torso, along with a bandolier belt of Duff beers, a Duff hat, black sunglasses, and white gloves and boots.
Although in the past we have seen other variations of the character such as Mexican Duffman and Lady Duff.
Behind the Laughter[]
Character origins[]
Duffman is based on Budweiser's former mascot, Bud Man. Duffman's catchphrase comes from the song "Oh Yeah" by Yello, which the producers say became extremely popular after Ferris Bueller's Day Off and many advertisers started using it. As a result, the writers felt that the song and phrase "Oh yeah!" would be suitable for Duffman. Duffman's thrusts were first acted out by Brad Bird. Duffman is the greatest womanizer - or so he says.[1] He talks almost the same pattern as Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek.
