Page "Moe Szyslak" Paragraph 1

Moe is the owner and operator of Moe's Tavern.

He often engages in making death threats against prank-callers such as Bart.

His most loyal customer is Barney Gumble.

Other regulars include Homer Simpson, Lenny Leonard, Carl Carlson, Sam and Larry.

Moe usually serves Duff beer on tap.

He enthusiastically abandons his bar, its regular customers, and his friends when a better opportunity comes along, such as the drink " The Flaming Moe ", the opening of his postmodern bar " m ", the conversion of his bar into a family-themed restaurant called Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag and a British themed pub with Marge called the Nag and Weasel.

Along with Moe's Tavern, he also has a bar called Moe's Express located in Springfield Mall.

Moe is often engaged in shady or illegal activities at his tavern, including smuggling pandas and orcas, imprisoning Hans Moleman under the floor of the bar, hosting Russian roulette games, operating an unlicensed casino, serving liquor without a license ( the liquor license he had was from 1973, signed by Moe himself, and only valid in Rhode Island ), running a speakeasy during Springfield's brief flirtation with prohibition, performing unlicensed surgery, and housing Africanized bees.

He is best known for being the most frequent recipient of Bart Simpson's prank calls.

These involve Bart asking to speak to some fictional person with a provocative name ( e. g. Mike Rotch, aka " My crotch "), which, when Moe says it, makes it dirty / naughty and / or insulting to himself, making everyone in the bar laugh at him.

Despite this, in the episode " Flaming Moe's ", Bart goes to the tavern and Moe doesn't recognize his voice.

Also in the episode " Flaming Moe's ," a person in the bar is shown to have that episode's provocative name ( Hugh Jass, or " Huge ass "), and when he takes the phone, Bart quickly explains about it being a prank call and they hang up with Hugh Jass saying " what a nice young man.
