The Simpsons: Professor FrinkBy Wikipedia
Professor John Frink is a fictional character, a scientist and
professor on The Simpsons. He is named after John Frink, a writer and
producer for the show.
Professor John Frink is Springfield's local mad scientist voiced by
Hank Azaria. His character is a mild parody of Jerry Lewis' character, The
Nutty Professor. He has a trademark mannerism of using gibberish when
excited, and he's often excited. For example, when a meteor is approaching
Springfield in a Paul Bunyan portray, he exclaims "That meteor is
headed straight for us! With the fire, and the impact, and the hundred
percent chance of PAIN! PAIN IN THE GLAYVIN!"
His laboratory phone number is 555-5782.

a flashback, the viewer sees him lecturing at the Springfield Heights
Institute of Technology, demonstrating the Frinkiac supercomputer and
predicting that "within 100 years, computers will be twice as
powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the five
richest kings of Europe will own them. M-huy."
He is fond of flubber, a fictional material with enhanced bounce
properties originating in the movie The Absent Minded Professor.
Professor Frink has basketball shoes made of flubber.
Choice quotes:
- "Professor Frink, Professor Frink/He'll make you laugh, he'll
make you think!/He likes to run, and then the thing/With the...
person?" - Professor Frink's theme song, written by Professor
Frink
- "Good morning ma'am, good afternoon sir. ...It passed noon
while I was speaking, so that was technically accurate."
- "Here is an ordinary square. But, suppose we extend the square
beyond the two dimensions of our Universe along the hypothetical
Z-axis, there. This forms a three-dimensional object known as a
"cube", or a "Frinkahedron" in honor of its
discoverer. Ingle-hey, mwa-hey."
He is also the inventor of, among other things, hamburger earmuffs.
Using his famous method of combining two already existing inventions, he
soon had a hot, marketable product on his hands. However, Homer
Simpson attempted to steal this brilliant idea after failing to come
up with an invention of his own. Frink was confident though, reassuring
himself that "these babies'll already be on the shelves while he's
still grappling with the pickle matrix!"
Frink never had a good relation with his father, (who was voiced by
Jerry Lewis). Frink said they got along like "positrons and
anti-neutrinos". The senior Professor Frink was a "he-man"
scientist who, according to his son, worked on the atom bomb by day, slept
with Marilyn Monroe by night, and sold secrets to the Russians at lunch.
In the 14th Halloween Episode, Frink brought his father back to life, but
he went on a rampage and younger Frink was forced to kill the elder.
Frink has a wife, though in later episodes they may be separated or
divorced, and a young son who is a chibi of the elder Frink.
In "Future-Drama", an episode set eight years into a possible
future of Bart and Lisa's, a bespectacled skeleton dressed in a lab coat
is observed hanging on a rope from a rafter in Frink's basement
laboratory—indicating the professor had committed suicide in the
interim, and his passing had gone unnoticed by his family and friends.
A programming language/calculating tool called Frink has been named in
honor of Frink
