UNIKELY COMPARISONS: ANIMATED LOOK ALIKES! RANDALL AKA THE SNITCH FROM RECESS VERSUS MOE FROM THE SIMPSONS

He's gotta note pad for Christ's sake OMG LOL!
He's the 3rd streets school reporter.
Okay so as I was busy binge watching my favorite show The Simpsons there came episode 18 season 11 featuring the famous Moe Sizlack. The bar owner of Moe's tavern responsible for all the drunks in the town. He's unapologetic for "profiting" off of the town's sorrows.

He can even be seen reintroducing the towns drunk Barney to alcohol despite being aware of his desperation to kick the habit. The episode is based around Barney viewing a tape in which he completely embarasses himself dressed as Marge complete with a dress and all. He ends with fighting the family canine Santa's Little Helper for booze that seeped out of a broken liquor bottle.

Shortly after Moe could be seen paying homage to a black magic alter for bringing his most valued customer back. He had apparently stooped so low as to have casted a spell to reawaken poor Barney's alcoholism demons.



Despite this Moe seems to be a mere victim of circumstance. Deemed as ugly, gross and unlucky with the ladies. He gives off a creepy vibe with women of The Simpsons.

His back hunched he mostly resembles Hunchback of notredam as well as his sunken in forehead and big bulgy eyes.



Then came a realization. Moe and Randall have an uncanny resemblance.
In case you forgot =O


I couldn't help but burst out LOLING when I really took a look at Randall though.
Although seemingly very similar. Randall has more of a "rat" like appearance. Even randall's orangish-red hair looks strikingly similar to the rat featured below. LOL Talk about coinky-dink!

Hence the term Rat used to describe someone who's busy minding every else's business.
According to Urban Dictionary Rat is defined as:

the lowest form of human being. a backstabbing snitch.
                                            and
snitch. A person who has ""tattled" on another person



Quite clever of the animation team. Randall's character really accurately reflects his appearance.
Often depicted as sneaky he can almost always be seen up under Ms. Finster reporting the every move of perceived troublemakers like the infamous T.J Detweiler and his crew Vince, Grecthen, Mikey, Gus and Spinelli.

After a while of hating him. He started to grow on me. I realized that he looks up to Ms.Finster as a parental figure. Something he's obviously lacking at home. So he's devoted to behaving in any manner that will appeal to her. She loves him with conditions, therefore he's willing to go above and beyond to find some common ground. He wants so very much to relate to her and be praised even if that means being deemed as a Snitch by his peers.

So yes they remind me of eachother. Perhaps Randall could be Moe's son. Craving for affection through unconventional methods. Maybe a younger version of him.
