Moe Szyslak

Moammar Morris "Moe" Szyslak (pronounced "siz-lack"), also known as Moe the Bartender is the proprietor and bartender of "Moe's Tavern", a Springfield bar frequented by Homer and his friends. He has once stated that he moved to Springfield from the Netherlands. He also owns Moe's Bagels in Colorado and Moe's Express in the Food Court area of the Springfield Mall.

Moe is portrayed as often irritable and rude to all except his bar friends Homer, Lenny, Carl, and Barney. His easy-to-lose harsh temper usually turns down women and finding a girlfriend for Moe has therefore been a running joke, from indulged sexual abstinence to unsuccessful suicide attempts to dating generally rejected women. However, Moe has a soft side as well, and has been seen helping others in need. This includes saving marooned school children, giving food to a famished village, and saving people from a rampaging flood.

He is sometimes shown in a love pyramid with Homer, Marge, Ned, and himself.
