If you’ve ever thought something as outrageous as a “Sarcasm Detector,” made by a yellow cartoon character, could become a reality, then this episode will have you asking “is there a patent for that?”ġ :39 Professor John I.Q. After a successful career as a minor character on The Simpsons, he followed his dream as an inventor before suddenly becoming Bono. From the sports betting apps now flooding the airways with commercials, to acid shooting projectiles, the line between fiction and reality may be thinner than you think. Professor Jonathan 'Hey you in the bushes' Frink was an inventor, overlord of three-dimensional objects, and minor character often used as a plot device. He has a trademark mannerism of using nonsense words when excited (and hes always excited). His character is a mild parody of Jerry Lewis character, The Nutty Professor.
