Kirk+Van+Houten

(Vilde --- nei Caroline :P)

**Kirk Van Houten!**
He have blue hair, thick round glasses, a big bold spot (moon), yellow skin and a tennis ball-sized nose. He is well-rounded and lacy. Kirk is voiced by Hank Azaria. He was in The Simpsons for the first time in 1992, in season 3, episode 23. He is often presented as Milhouse Van Houten’s dad, the main character Bart’s friend. He is/was married to Luann Van Houten. He is a minor character and pops up in the episodes now and then. He is portrayed as a stereotypical middle-aged male loser, and a bad dad. Kirk is often angry on his wife, and he is always picking on her. He is never helping her with the house, nor does anything special for her. He is not holding himself in shape and he is a lousy father. Kirk and his wife Luann argue a lot, and then Luann can’t stand it. So he divorced him. Then he got fired at the cookie factory where Luann`s father was the boss. He said that Kirk was fired because his cookies were a family product. But after the divorce he begins to regret all of that. And he gets very sad and very depressed. And he cries all the time, even in good times. So he is an emotional man. He has no steady job, and he have tried very many different things like; employed as an assistant to the guy who puts fliers under people's windshield wipers  also had a job standing on the curb holding a sign directing people to a condo development and worked as a scarecrow protecting a soy-bean crop, which resulted in his eye being gouged by a crow. And his son calls him “Weekend Dad”. He gets sad very fast when he speaks to other people and answer rudely sometimes. Bart Simpson, a main character in this TV-show, hide in Kirks apartment and got caught, and then Kirk had to go to jail for “kidnapping Bart”. They found him in a very dirty apartment and he was sitting in his panties playing videogame. So he thought it was nice to be put in jail, because then he got three meals a day and got envied by women.
