Duffman

Character traits

Physical traits Duffman is an athletic and smooth-talking corporate personality who wears blue and red tights, a red cape, white gloves, and the Duff logo emblazoned across his chest. The ensemble features a red hat with the Duff logo on it, dark sunglasses, and a "utility belt" of beer cans around his waist. Other traits Duffman is generally known for his overly enthusiastic speech in which he refers to himself in the third person, complete with dramatic pauses and ending with a suggestive "Oh, yeah!" and pelvic thrusts. Fittingly, his theme song which plays at every corporate-sponsored appearance is "Oh Yeah" by Swiss band Yello. Also, Lenny calls him "the guy who creates an awareness of Duff". Duffman is also a professional male stripper for private special events, such as Edna Krabappel's bachelorette party. Duffman is sober because of Duff Beer's policies.

Independence

Though he is a corporate mascot of Duff Beer, some actors have displayed independent thought and conscience at times. Homer discovers that H.K. Duff, who owns not only the beer company but also the Springfield Isotopes, was planning to move the team to Albuquerque. Commanded to help discredit Homer, this Duffman was torn between corporate loyalty, and the truth. In the end, Duffman said to himself "New feelings brewing in Duffman! What would Jesus do?" and tossed Howard Duff into the stands of Isotope Stadium (effectively throwing the money changers out of the temple).

Friends

Duffman is friends with Rainier Wolfcastle, Cookie Kwan and Miss Springfield.

Family

Duffman claims to have two children, Dufflad and Duffgirl, but Mr. Duff VII retorts that these were "one-time shots in a Super Bowl commercial". This Duffman was named "Sid". When he was subsequently found teaching basic mathematics at the Springfield Men's Mission, he was played by "Barry Duffman". Also, Duffman said "Are you there, God? It's me, Duffman!". Duffman (or at least this particular Duffman) also mentioned, after distributing several Duff memorabilia that he has to leave early to comfort his and Grady's adopted and estranged daughter who dropped out of college.

Religion

When Homer and Marge attended an Oktoberfest festival, Duffman, who was the host of the festival, energetically exclaims, "Duffmensch orders you to party! This Reich will last a thousand beers! Oh, Ja!", which is a reference to the Nazi concept of a Thousand Year Reich. He made lots of other German World War II references, which he hated because he is Jewish. So, he mutters under his breath, "I do this, and I'm Jewish".

Sexuality

Duffman (or rather, whichever actor was playing him at the time) was revealed to be bisexual and in a long term stable relationship with Grady. He had a fling with Booberella revealed in a behind the scenes interview that was a publicity stunt. He was also revealed to be in love with Grady, who wanted to break up with Julio. (Grady calls Homer and says that he has found a new man, just as Duffman walks out of the shower and whips him with a towel) he married Grady in "There's Something About Marrying". (Not shown, but implied by the statement that Homer has married every gay couple in town, partway through the episode). They are most likely still together and their adopted and estranged daughter is mentioned in "To Surveil With Love". When Duffman is shot by Frank Grimes, Jr., he says, "I love you, Doris!". Duffman also slept with Titania. He promised her that in exchange for sleeping with him, she wouldn't have to touch the drunks in a bar-tending contest, but he reneged on the promise at the last minute.

Education

Duffman is revealed to have dyslexia, calling it "Duffman's secret shame". He also said that he has studied ballet for four years at Juilliard.
