ā€œMmm-hmm...ā€
―Raphael's catchphrase
ā€œEy, pal-ey.ā€
―Raphael's other catchphrase

Raphael (also commonly known as the Sarcastic Clerk, Wiseguy, or Middle-Aged Man) is a recurring background character in The Simpsons - his main purpose is to carry out a job or sell a product that gets a plot rolling.

Raphael's character model has varied perhaps the most of any recurring character, with hair colour, style and moustache all changing despite his distinctive voice. It wasn't until later seasons when the page image became the standard model for when his voice is used.

Raphael tends to make dry comments when confronted about the prices of his services. He has even been sarcastic towards the Comic Book Guy.

History

Jobs

One-Time Jobs

He has held numerous jobs in Springfield including: garage owner, mail man, taxi driver, gun salesman, giving water to plants, exterminator, and various shop clerks and handymen. He was also seen as a money changer in the First Church of Springfield after it had its makeover.[1] He is seen driving the Krusty glass vans around Evergreen Terrace.[2] He is also seen working alongside Sideshow Mel as a security guard for the Springfield Museum, and attacks Homer and Bart for "being in serious violation of his authority" [3], and has acted as a cameraman for at least one children's show. He acts just like Grover Monster from Sesame Street who has a Job Licence.[4]

One of Raphael's jobs

Usual Jobs

Raphael's most common job is as a repo man, of which when he "accidentally" hurts Milhouse, he says, "Ha ha! I love this job!" [5] However he's frequently seen working in the Noiseland Video Arcade.

Character Traits

He is usually seen as a balding smoker with gray hair and a gray moustache. He usually refers to people as "boyo" or "pally". In Boy Meets Curl, he had brown hair, and in Krusty Gets Kancelled, he had black hair. As some of his nicknames imply, he also is quite sarcastic. He also apparenty enjoys low-brow humor as evidenced when Bart easily distracted him with a (false) mention of a bawdy limerick graffitied onto the men's bathroom.

Character

His voice is intended to resemble Charles Bronson, as seen when the Simpsons try to travel to Branson, Missouri, but mistakenly end up in Bronson, Missouri first.

Real Name

Sideshow Bob identifies his first name as Raphael.[6]
