'''Jeremy Peterson''', aka the Squeaky Voiced Teen (voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]]) is a character in [[The Simpsons]]. His name might be Jeremy because in a deleted scene of the episode "[[Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song]]" on the Season 5 DVD, he's called Jeremy by [[Seymour Skinner]]. He is a teenager trapped in a long series of dead-end jobs. He is also referred to as "Pimple-faced kid", "Puberty Boy", "Geeky Teenager" and, on one occasion, "Old Man Peterson".

'''Jeremy Freedman''', more commonly known as '''Squeaky-Voiced Teen''', '''Pimple-faced teen''', '''Puberty Boy''', '''Geeky Teenager''', '''Teenage Clerk''', '''Steve''', '''Pop''', '''Mr. Peterson''' and '''Old Man Peterson''', is one of the few teenagers in [[Springfield]] and is perpetually trapped in a series of dead-end jobs. Jeremy has acne and his voice is in the process of breaking.
   
  +
==Jobs==
−
The squeaky-voiced teen has acne vulgaris, and his voice is in the process of breaking. He appeared in the opening sequence of one episode, kissing an attractive blonde girl on the couch. In the introductory sequence of another episode, he appeared as a valet getting the [[Simpsons Family|Simpsons]]' couch for them (although he did not receive a tip). He once attempted to commit suicide because FOX cancelled Futurama.
  
  +
He is often seen working in a [[Krusty Burger]] and has also worked for the [[Grocery Store]] and the [[Aztec Theater]].
  +
He was once an employee at the Mom & Pop Hardware store to try and get with "Mom", him being "Pop". He also worked at [[Barney's Bowlarama]], where it was revealed that his mother was [[Lunch Lady Doris]].<ref>[[Team Homer]]</ref> He was also employed at Book Returns<ref>[[Hail to the Cat]]</ref> and Moe's Express. A rudimentary version of the character was employed at the Springfield public access television station (see "[[Homer Badman]]" episode).
   
  +
He was in a managerial position at a shoe store, employing [[Jimbo]], [[Dolph]] and [[Kearney]].<ref>[[G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)]]</ref>
−
In one episode ("[[Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays]]"), he lost his squeaky voice to "become a man," after [[Lindsey Naegle]] suggested that the adults "kill every child . . . -friendly thing in town."
  
   
  +
Furthermore, he worked at a Mexican restaurant called The Brown Burrito, in which he wore a name tag bearing the name Steve.<ref>Beware my Cheating Bart</ref>
−
Also, Seymour Skinner refers to him as "Jeremy" from a deleted scene on The Complete Fifth Season DVD, which is in episode "(1F18) Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badass Song", in a scene where Skinner and [[Bart]] are on a roller coaster and the teen portrays a vampire who has "come to suck your blood". His surname is also hinted at in the episode [[Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy]] when [[Grampa]] quits his job at [[Krusty Burger]]. He refers to the SVT as Mr. Peterson.
  
   
  +
==Personal life==
−
There are a few different Squeaky Voiced Teens, invented usually to suit a certain locale. One was seen, for example in England; fittingly, he had an English accent and got beaten up by Dame Judi Dench off-screen. An Australian version of the Squeaky Voiced Teen was seen at the souvenir store that [[Lisa]], [[Marge]], and [[Maggie]] visited when the Simpsons were in Australia in the episode "[[Bart vs. Australia]]" where he suggests Bullfrogs should be called 'chazwazzers'. There is also one Krusty Burger restaurant that is entirely staffed by Squeaky Voiced Teens. A character that resembles the looks of the Squeaky-Voiced Teen is briefly seen when the Simpsons enter their hotel in the episode "[[Blame It On Lisa]]." In one of the "[[Treehouse of Horror]]" Halloween specials, Peter Pan has an identical voice and states he will "never grow up".
  
  +
He once tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, because [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX]] cancelled ''[[Futurama]]''. He landed in a car, in which two teens were making out, crushing one of them. The attractive girl, shocked he crushed her boyfriend, assumed he must be awesomely good at love-making and immediately proceeded to make out with him.<ref>[[Fraudcast News]]</ref>
   
  +
He was also in a relationship with [[Mom (Mom & Pop Hardware)|Mom]], an employee at the Mom & Pop Hardware store.<ref>[[Mom and Pop Art]]</ref>
−
The Squeaky Voiced Teen is ubiquitous, existing not only in every conceivable locale, but in any historical era. In [[I Love Lisa]], one of Sgt. Skinner's old platoon members was a Squeaky Voiced Teen. Skinner has a flashback, while doing morning announcements over the intercom, of the young man being brutally shot on a flatboat by snipers while writing a valentine for his girlfriend back home. Skinner then repeatedly screams the name "Johnny", and Bart says, "Cool. I broke his brain".

When [[Lindsey Naegle]] once suggested they "kill every child... friendly thing in town", he lost his squeaky voice to "become a man".<ref>[[Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens and Gays]]</ref>

“You want fries with that?”
―Jeremy Freedman[src]

Jeremy Freedman, more commonly known as Squeaky-Voiced Teen, Pimple-faced teen, Puberty Boy, Geeky Teenager, Teenage Clerk, Steve, Pop, Mr. Peterson and Old Man Peterson, is one of the few teenagers in Springfield and is perpetually trapped in a series of dead-end jobs. Jeremy has acne and his voice is in the process of breaking.

Jobs

He is often seen working in a Krusty Burger and has also worked for the Grocery Store and the Aztec Theater. He was once an employee at the Mom & Pop Hardware store to try and get with "Mom", him being "Pop". He also worked at Barney's Bowlarama, where it was revealed that his mother was Lunch Lady Doris.[2] He was also employed at Book Returns[3] and Moe's Express. A rudimentary version of the character was employed at the Springfield public access television station (see "Homer Badman" episode).

He was in a managerial position at a shoe store, employing Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney.[4]

Furthermore, he worked at a Mexican restaurant called The Brown Burrito, in which he wore a name tag bearing the name Steve.[5]

Personal life

He once tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, because FOX cancelled Futurama. He landed in a car, in which two teens were making out, crushing one of them. The attractive girl, shocked he crushed her boyfriend, assumed he must be awesomely good at love-making and immediately proceeded to make out with him.[6]

He was also in a relationship with Mom, an employee at the Mom & Pop Hardware store.[7]

When Lindsey Naegle once suggested they "kill every child... friendly thing in town", he lost his squeaky voice to "become a man".[8]
