Lenford "Lenny" Leonard, is a supporting character in the Fox animated series The Simpsons, and is voiced by Harry Shearer. He is the best friend of Carl Carlson and friend of Homer Simpson. He works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and possesses a master's degree in nuclear physics, but he is often portrayed as a blue-collar working man.
He had plastic surgery when a sudden upswing in the price of power plant stock led to most of the employees (with the exception of Homer) to have a big profit ("Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk"). At some point following his plastic surgery Lenny had a diamond placed on one of his teeth, paid for by the Plant's dental plan; the diamond was later stolen when Homer referred to it and Lenny smiled to show it off. In "Burns' Heir", both Mr. Burns and Waylon Smithers refer to him as "Leonard", the same way they refer to Homer as "Simpson", though in The Frying Game, Homer refers to him as "Lenford". Lenny's vices include alcohol (specifically Duff Beer, which he is often seen drinking at Moe's) and dressing up like a baby. He is also depicted as a cigarette smoker in early seasons. In "Homerazzi" Lenny is hinted to be a transvestite when he dresses up like Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. Lenny drives a green two-door hatch back, whose license plate reads "DUI GUY". Lenny has a terrible relationship with his mother, who likes Carl and Moe more. Vance Connor donated Lenny a kidney. Lenny has a mysterious medical problem with his eyes, as he has been told (presumably by the doctor) that he can't place various objects in it, like puzzle jiggs and pudding. When he gets hurt he often yells "Ow my eye! I'm not supposed to get (object) in it!". Lenny has stated that his father died in a war, although he does not seem to know which war it was. Six instances of his death are Treehouse of Horror XI, Treehouse of Horror XII, Treehouse of Horror XVI, The Wettest Stories Ever Told, Tales from the Public Domain, and Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Three Times (as "Poison Lenny").
Lenny appears to be well liked by the Simpson family - on one occasion, Marge and the kids build a prayer shrine for him when learning he was taken to the hospital. In "Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder", Homer goes bowling but tells Marge that Lenny was hospitalized; when Marge informs the kids, they respond the same way she did and shout, "Not Lenny!". In "Sleeping with the Enemy", the Simpson family has a cake inscribed "Happy Labor Day Lenny". In "Pranksta Rap", it's revealed Marge has a picture of Lenny in her hair.
Lenny is apparently divorced - in "Bart of War", Carl says that he sang "The Best Is Yet to Come" at Lenny's wedding, although in another episode Lenny punches Carl for giving a bad speech at his wedding. Lenny is a persistent bachelor who has poor luck with women. In "Marge on the Lam", Lenny shaves the legs of a woman who calls him an idiot for not shaving in an upward direction. In "Team Homer", Homer mentions to Moe that both Lenny and Carl are with their mistresses. In "Bart Star", it is revealed Lenny had dated Marge. In "Homer the Smithers" he is seen in the opening scene with his arm around a woman who appears to be his girlfriend. In "Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife", it's revealed that he had dated a woman in a Woody Woodpecker outfit at a fairground for three months until she left him for the man who cleans the vomit on the roller coaster. Lenny had told Carl that he was married to a Beauty-Queen, and as of the 8th season, Carl had yet to meet Lenny's wife. The episode "In Marge we Trust" it is revealed that Lenny made his Beauty-Queen wife up, and is unmarried.
Carlton "Carl" Carlson, is a supporting character in the animated television series The Simpsons voiced by Hank Azaria. Along with Lenny, Carl is not just Homer's co-worker (sometimes identified as Homer's supervisor) at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant but also his friend. He likes to call himself "an urban Lenny." He attended Springfield A&M University.
Carl is an Icelandic-African-American, with a master's degree in nuclear physics, fond of bowling and drinking at Moe's Tavern. Carl demonstrates his talent for science in the episode "Fat Man and Little Boy". Carl is frequently said to be among the most attractive men in Springfield, notably in "Principal Charming" where Homer concludes that Carl is too attractive for Selma. According to "They Saved Lisa's Brain", he might be diabetic. According to "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky", Carl spent at least part of his boyhood in Iceland.
In the early seasons, Carl was rarely seen with Lenny and did not have a consistent voice - on some occasions, he can be heard with Lenny's voice and vice versa. One example of Carl having Lenny's voice is in episode 218 "Brush With Greatness". In an early 1991 episode, "Principal Charming", Carl's name is spelled "Karl", the same spelling seen for an unrelated character of the same season. Carl often serves as a taciturn straight man to Homer and company, because of his harsh opinions of others,[citation needed] as seen in "Pygmoelian" when he makes everyone in Moe's Tavern cry and in fourth wall mode explains: "See, this is why I don't talk much." He is offended when people stereotype him even though their stereotypes are usually correct. In "The Great Wife Hope", Homer asks Carl if he knows African-American boxer Dedrick Tatum; Carl takes offense, saying that just because he is African American, he doesn't know all the other African-American citizens in Springfield. Carl then says that he met Dedrick Tatum while he was at a party with Dr. Hibbert at Bleeding Gums Murphy's house (both of those characters are also African-American). More notably, in Children of a Lesser Clod, during a basketball game, Carl voices his irritation when everybody makes high expectations of his performance, and he remarks that he isn't a good player only because he is an African American, but proves himself, however, to be an amazing basketball player. Despite being against racism, Carl has some sort of dislike of Muslims, visible in Mypods and Boomsticks. He is the intellectual one, but apparently, Lenny, his best friend, dumbs him down for his own sake. In the episode "The Girl Who Slept Too Little", he tells Lenny to shut up as he was tired of "dumbing [him]self down for [Lenny].". Despite being a good friend, Carl can be very self-centered and workaholic at times - in The Devil Wears Nada, Carl becomes the new supervisor of Homer's sector (for being the most competent of them), and starts to abuse his position by forcing Homer to become his assistant, making him do even the mostly simple and unnecessary tasks (much to Homer's dismay). During a conversation in the Springfield Hub, Carl and Bernice Hibbert are hinted to have had a past relationship, that Carl wants to rekindle. It is implied, however, that he has a wife in "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday", when he says he'll give a ring to his wife for their anniversary. Also, he is shown with a woman (presumably his wife) attending Homer's marriage class in "Secrets of a Successful Marriage". He also mentions having a family in "HOMR".
He had plastic surgery when a sudden upswing in the price of power plant stock led to most of the employees (with the exception of Homer) to have a big profit ("Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk"). At some point following his plastic surgery Lenny had a diamond placed on one of his teeth, paid for by the Plant's dental plan; the diamond was later stolen when Homer referred to it and Lenny smiled to show it off. In "Burns' Heir", both Mr. Burns and Waylon Smithers refer to him as "Leonard", the same way they refer to Homer as "Simpson", though in The Frying Game, Homer refers to him as "Lenford". Lenny's vices include alcohol (specifically Duff Beer, which he is often seen drinking at Moe's) and dressing up like a baby. He is also depicted as a cigarette smoker in early seasons. In "Homerazzi" Lenny is hinted to be a transvestite when he dresses up like Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. Lenny drives a green two-door hatch back, whose license plate reads "DUI GUY".
