Yaritza Burgeos, Yaritza Burgos, or Bumblebee Man, is the star of a Spanish-language television sitcom on "Channel Ocho", in which he dresses in a bumblebee costume and performs slapstick comedy.
Biography[]
Bumblebee Man's parents died while they were playing paintball. Chip Davis (we've never heard of or saw him on the show) helped Bumblebee Man to get over his grief of the death of his parents.
Costume[]
Bumblebee Man never takes off his costume in public, and almost never in private. The sole exception is a short segment showing his private life. In addition to being seen costumeless, Bumblebee Man is shown as being genuinely clumsy rather than simply acting as such. In the end, his house is destroyed and his wife leaves him.
His bowling shirt has the name Pedro on it, which could be his first name.
Language and Nationality[]
Bumblebee man speaks Spanish, primarily, but is once shown speaking in articulate English when he replaced Kent Brockman for a brief moment and when he is talking to his producer.In "Bart gets Famous." This was mentioned in an episode commentary as being a mistake. He also has translated, in English, a Spanish phrase Krusty said in a campaign speech that inadvertently offended the Hispanic community.
Generally, Bumblebee Man speaks in simple, over-enunciated (and often inaccurate) Spanish sentences. His catchphrases of choice are typically "¡Ay, ay, ay, no me gusta!" ("I don't like it!"), "¡Ay, ay, ay, no es bueno!" ("That's not good!") and "¡Ay, Dios no me ama!" ("God doesn't love me!"). Quite commonly, his phrases will be intentionally sloppy Spanish: For example, saying "wudpequero" for "woodpecker," when it's actually "pájaro carpintero".
Marge was once up late watching Bumblebee Man on TV and saw him confessing that he didn't know any Spanish until he joined Mexican television and that he was actually Belgian. In The Simpsons: Tapped Out iPad game, meanwhile, he confesses to Lisa that he is actually Norwegian.
Other Facts[]
In Flaming Moe, Bumblebee Man is indicated to be a member of the Furry fandom (a fanbase for anthropomorphic animals), and is shown holding a sign saying "Furries Fur Moe".
He got kissed by a horse in the Simpsons Movie.
