Talk:Lenny Leonard

Lenny Time

Don't you think that the war in which Lenny was a hero was the Gulf War, given his age? Also, does the photo in that Life magazine issue indicate what bloodbath in Laos that occured when he was born?- B-101 01:03, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

• The Gulf War was after the show started, work out ages as if it's 1990. Digifiend 10:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Didn't Lenny have an Al Gore tattoo, not a Bob Dole one? After all, how many Republicans would consider themselves Buddhist? Nope, its Dole and Kemp. I just say the episode, and I gotta say kudos to whoever added the 'political views' section, you beat me too it. I visited this page to add that fact. --WalterJid 03:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Why would being a Republican preclude one from being a Buddhist? Adiosmofo (talk) 17:45, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't this say blue-collar?

Are Lenny and Carl Gay?

Although some believe Carl is not gay but Lenny is. Others believe the opposite and some think the both of them are straight. But, here is some proof they are a couple:

• First off, they are not married. That is perfectly okay. You don’t have to be married to live in the world today. They have been seen with women. In one Episode, Lenny dated a girl that looked like Carl and Carl dated a girl that looked like Lenny. They didn’t notice it. So, that doesn’t mean they like each other.

• They are always together, even in the men's room and showers, often holding hands.

• In one episode, at the urinals, when they were side by side, Lenny turns to another man beside him, looks down at the man's crotch, smiles, and says "So, taking a pee?" The other man quickly exits the restroom after that.

• In another episode, they mention they were away for spring break at a place out west "in the mountains," as Lenny sighs dreamily. This is definitely a nod to Brokeback Mountain.

• During decontamination day at the plant, when everybody is in their underwear, Lenny is the only one who shows up naked. After eyeing Carl briefly, he asks "Homer, could....could I borrow your underwear?" Homer responds with a "Naaaaaaaaa....."

• When he and Homer leave home for the oil fields feeling unloved, Lenny fantasizes about a mountain shaped in the body form of Carl. Later, when he admits there's no one in the world who loves him, Carl appears in a helicopter and says "Don't be too sure!" Lenny gasps and says "Oh, Carl!"

• When Mr. Burns dances naked with Smithers in Season 22 Episode 7, Lenny stays behind and watches them, but Carl leaves so i don’t know if this counts.

• When Lenny and Carl headed to capitol city for a road trip with Moe, they held hands briefly in the limo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.72.236 (talk) 05:06, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Some interesting points, however I think this is essentially a long-running gag on the show and as yet not 100% resolved. There are lots of instances of Lenny's love for Carl, but in comparison to, say, Smithers they are not nearly as strongly hinted at as being homosexual - I see it more as unusually close friendship.

Actually, Lenny was once shown shaving a woman's legs, though he gave Homer some other excuse as to why he couldn't go out that night, leaving us to infer that it was possibly the wife or girlfriend forcing him to shave her legs for her, the the exact nature of relationship was not made plain.

I did wonder whether they are used as characters to show 2 best-friends, since they are the only adults I can think of that are 'best friends' - almost like adult versions of Bart & Milhouse. I'm not sure, it definitely warrants a 'possibily gay' section on the main-page but i'm not convinced it is anything more than a long-running gag (thought essentially it is all fiction!). ny156uk 23:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Pic

I think a fair pic for this article is the faces of Carl and Lenny in a mountain (a là Mount Rushmore)--ometzit<col> 02:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Lenny's first name

I think his first name is Leonard. See the episode titled Burns' Heir. Burns and Smithers both call him Leonard. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.204.170.66 (talk) 00:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC).

Maybe they were calling him by his surname, like when they call Homer Simpson, "Simpson".--Steven X 11:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Is this speculation?

If something's really obvious but not mentioned, is it speculation? Because there's one scene in The Simpsons Movie where he's obviously voiced by Castellaneta - he sounds identical to Charlie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anthrcer (talk • contribs) 11:45, August 20, 2007 (UTC).

No, he's always voiced by Harry Shearer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.22.233.133 (talk) 19:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Somebody should put information in the text about "Poison Lenny", if you know what I mean. That is the best joke ever! "I'm not villain, I'm a transvestite!"—Nikola Todorović (talk) 22:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Relative = mother

The infobox cites that he has an unnamed mother.

Doesn't everyone have a mother? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.8.87 (talk) 02:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

thats a good point it seems like a worthless fact that he has a unnamed mother what good is it knowing that why cant the mother have a name? well perhaps in a future episode lenny's mom gets a name. also we may find out how old lenny is and which side of his family his grandma that was in a labor camp was on. theres alot of information with charaters on the simpsons thats not known as of yet i hope that the unnamed mother bit gets cleared up. 99.51.212.6 (talk) 17:27, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Lenny's first name (revisited)

In the episode The Frying Game, Homer calles Lenny "Lenford". Are we to assume this is his real name, and that "Lenny" is simply a shortened version of this? Cooltrainer Hugh (talk) 19:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm not personally happy that he is referred to as "Lenford", we all know what Homer is like with names. Take the whole Jebus thing for example SpunkyLM (talk) 23:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Merge?

I've started a discussion on merging this article (along with Carl Carlson) to a list. Discussion's on the Simpsons project talk page. Harry Blue5 (talk) 22:46, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Merge Lenny and Carl

I would like to propose that Lenny and Carl are merged into a single article (not into a character list). I believe this is the best option because:

1. They are not notable on their own
2. The most interesting stuff to write about them is their relationsship with each other.
3. It worked for Patty and Selma Bouvier and Kang & Kodos, so why not Lenny and Carl?
