In the "Homer^3" segment of "Tree House of Horror VI" (0606-2F03), one of the writings floating on the wall of the cartoon 3D world reads: 46 72 69 6E 6B 20 72 75 6C 65 73 21.

This is hexadecimal code for "Frink rules!"

I wonder how they spell that? I always think he's saying "Flavin" with the contorting and funny voice and the "HEY LADY!" don't ya know.

In an interview Azaria said that basically most of his voices are bad imitations of famous people/characters (i.e. Dr. Nick = bad Desi Arnez/Ricky Ricardo, Prof Frink = Bad Jerry Lewis/Nutty Professor etc.)

It's not always the same.

Is there a *good* Jerry Lewis? Either he the nutty professor, or he's executing his scheduled breakdown at 3AM on the Telethon, right before he introduces his great friend Chad Everett. He's a God in France, which tells you all you need to know about both Jerry and France.

My vote goes to "glaven." That's what Mel Gibson read, I believe.

Professor Frink is the Jerry Lewis-style scientist. Your observation is reflected on www.snpp.com:

The Hidden Message in 3F04 When Homer is wandering around in the third dimension there is a string of hexadecimal numbers floating in space. The string reads: 46 72 69 6E 6B 20 72 75 6C 65 73 21. When converted into ascii text the string reads 'Frink rules!'

Check this link for more information on the character: http://www.snpp.com/guides/prof.frink.html
