Waylon Smithers

Waylon Joseph Smithers Jr., also known as Bill, Chuckles, Mr. Smithers, Slithers, Waylon Smithers and Waylon Smithers Jr., is a character from The Simpsons series.
== Charactah Account ==
The second-in-command and most competent minion of Mr. Burns, Smithers is fanatically devoted to his master (fortunately for Burns, who is so physically feeble and out of touch with the modern age he depends on Smithers to do everything for him), which is eventually revealed to be due to him being in love with him.
Smithers is generally portrayed as a nerd, someone awkward, uptight, and fragile. He is allergic to bee stings and has hypothyroidism, both of which can kill him. He is also lactose-intolerant. He has Springfield's largest collection of Malibu Stacy dolls.
Smithers is the definition of neutral. He definitely doesn't agree with Burns' actions, but he's in love with Burns and will do anything for Burns to like him.

== Trivia ==
* Marge once disguised herself as Smithers in the episode "At Long Last Leave"; later in the same episode, Mr. Teeny did the same thing.
* Slithers is a parody and a pun on Smithers; he appears in "Treehouse of Horror XII".
* Smithers co-owned/created Moe's Tavern in its gay version "Mo's" in "Flaming Moe".
* Smithers has a superhero alter ego Kid Sourpuss.
* Smithers owns a handgun.
* Smithers is right-handed.
* Smithers speaks Mandarin Chinese.
* Smithers was in the Navy, and was discharged. It is implied that his discharge was due to his orientation.
* Smithers was revealed to be allergic to bees when he was stung by a bee in "22 Short Films About Springfield". He is also allergic to shellfish as shown in "Frinkcoin".
* Smithers needs to take medication for his thyroid, or else he will die, as seen in "Midnight Rx".
* Smithers is lactose intolerant, which is revealed in "The Kid is All Right".
* Smithers being in his early 40s in the 1995 episode "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular", which is outside of regular Simpsons continuity, is roughly consistent with him being born in 1954 according to the 1997 episode "The Old Man and the Lisa". However, this is not consistent with Smithers being a baby in the early 1970s, as seen in the 2001 episode "The Blunder Years", nor him being at school at the same time as Homer Simpson (who has consistently been mentioned as being less than 40 years old) in a grade school flashback in "Bye Bye Nerdie" and in high school flashbacks in "Bart Star" and "The Star of the Backstage".
* Ironically regarding his sexual orientation, Smithers is a fan of Malibu Stacy despite some of her phrases coming across as flirting and her being attracted to men.
* Smithers makes a cameo in the Harvest Moon manga where he appears as the driver of Mayor Theodore.
* Smithers shares the same surname as Hubert H. Smithers, a character from Archie Comics who is the butler of Archie's girlfriend, Veronica Lodge.
* Smithers skin color was originally brown with blue hair, as seen in "Homer's Odyssey". This was the result of an animation error that the crew didn't have time to fix, and was changed to his usual yellow skin with gray hair later in the series. The crew also felt that a black man being subservient to a rich white man was problematic due to the history of slavery in America.
* In early episodes of Season 1, Czech translators didn't know how to translate Smithers' name, so Mr. Burns called him Bill. Now they don't translate his name.
* Originally in the Simpsons arcade game, Smithers was going to have his own boss music this was scrapped, however the song was completed most likely reason for its removal was hardware capabilities.
