Some of Frink's unsuccessful inventions includes his small remote-controlled plane that carries babies as passengers (it crashed), and a burglar-proof house that sprouts legs and runs away from potential danger (the legs of which collapsed causing the house to crash to the ground and catch fire). He is the inventor of, among other things, a frog exaggerator (which largely misrepresents the size of amphibians), automatic tapping shoes for tap dancing, the sarcasm detector, hamburger earmuffs, the 8-month-after pill, and a drilling machine that can cut through anything. Most of his inventions never function properly or are of no real use. įrink often tries to use his mad and bizarre inventions to aid the town in its crises, but they usually do not work or only make things worse. "Father and I got along like positrons and antineutrinos!" or, "microcalifragilistics". Frink also has a tendency to over-complicate simple matters and/or invent scientific terminology while expressing various concepts, e.g. When he rambles he often speaks incoherently in run-on sentences without pauses. He also occasionally refers to the importance of remembering to " carry the one" in various mathematical calculations. He has a trademark mannerism of using Jerry Lewis-style gibberish when excited, such as "HOYVIN-GLAVIN!" and "FLAVIN" and impulsively shouting other words that have no relevance to the situation at hand. Frink is generally very polite and friendly. He has an IQ of 197 - 199 before he sustained a concussion during the collapse of Springfield's brief intellectual junta - and is a member of the Springfield chapter of Mensa. Frink is a college professor at Springfield Heights Institute of Technology and runs his own astronomical observatory. He wears thick glasses, a white lab coat, pink pants, and has buckteeth. John Frink is generally depicted as Springfield's stereotypical nerdy, mad, and socially inept scientist, inventor, and mathematician. The character's popularity has led to him giving name to the computer programming language Frink.
PROFESSOR FRINK CATCHPHRASE SIMULATOR
Frink has been featured in other media relating to the show, such as comics, video games, and a simulator ride at Universal Studios Florida. The professor has received acclaim from critics, particularly for his bizarre inventions such as the hamburger earmuffs, and he has appeared on many reviewers' listings of their favorite supporting characters from The Simpsons. Lewis later guest-starred on the show as Frink's father in the 2003 episode " Treehouse of Horror XIV". The staff liked the voice and therefore changed Frink to be more like Julius Kelp, both in appearance and personality - he became more nerdy, and went from evil to just mad. When Azaria ad-libbed a voice for the character, he did an impression of Jerry Lewis's Julius Kelp character from The Nutty Professor.
His manner of speech, including the impulsive shouting of nonsensical words, has become his trademark which is highly characteristic of Tourette syndrome.įrink was originally depicted as an evil scientist in "Old Money".
