~ Apu's famous quote

Apu Nahasapeemapetilon (play /əˈpuː nəˌhɑːsəˌpiːməˈpɛtəlɒn/) is a supporting character in the animated television series The Simpsons. He was formerly voiced by Hank Azaria and first appeared in the episode "The Telltale Head". Apu is the proprietor of the Kwik-E-Mart, a popular convenience store in Springfield, and a good friend of Homer Simpson and his family. He is also an Indian immigrant.

Personality[]

Apu Nashapeemapetilon is a complex character with a number of traits that make up his overall personality. Apu is initially portrayed as a shrewd and often petty person, although he is usually very cheap. He often uses sarcasm and occasional manipulation to get his way and is often seen as a nuisance to the other characters in The Simpsons.

Despite his often off-putting personality, Apu is generally well liked by the Springfield community. He has a good heart and is often willing to help others, even if it means sacrificing his own needs. He also has a deep love of his Indian heritage and his home, which is displayed through his patriotic views and strong traditional values.

In one episode, Apu's character takes a significant turn after he is fired from the Kwik-E-Mart for unintentionally poisoning Homer. After this incident, he is invited to live with the Simpson family and this changed his life forever. Apu quickly learns to appreciate the little things in life, and develops a more kind and hardworking nature. With this newfound appreciation for life, he further develops his concept of patriotism towards his home and culture, thus creating a new level of character depth.

Apu Nashapeemapetilon is one of the most beloved characters in The Simpsons, and his contradictory traits make viewers enjoy him even more. He is often seen as a cheap, sarcastic, and occasionally manipulative person, but his true colors come out after he experiences some difficult times, ultimately leading him to become more kind, hardworking, and patriotic.

Biography[]

Apu is the owner of Springfield's main convenience store, the Kwik-E-Mart, which is open 24/7. He attracts plenty of customers despite its rather lacking standards of quality (like Homer, Bart, and Snake Jailbird, who only comes in to rob the place). Renowned as a workaholic, he is eventually partnered off with an arranged marriage and ends up the father of octuplets.
