Are there any Simpsons characters besides Duffman and Disco Stu who regularly refer to themselves in the third person?

Lisa's gym teacher: I am Lugash.
That's not third person.

University
No he does say I am Lugash. And I think he switches between 1srt and 3rd....I think.

The real Michael Jackson refers to himself in the 3rd person. What about the "Michael Jackson" guy on the Simpsons?

Wrong. Otherwise you could say basically all the characters do it. I remeber loads of charqacters saying things like "Marge is in the house!".
Lugash am I.

Aww man, you've gotta remember ol Gil! I mean, Gil's always that close to sealing the deal, right? Awww, please, Gil's begging ya...
i think that's different. gil does that to be funny . . . duffman actually does it all the time.
"duffman! can't breathe! oh yeah!"

Gill is doing things to be funny!? Gill is a pathetic character.
And nervous, very nervous.

ya...
actually
well yes. but he's also fictional. he occasionally shifts into third person because it sounds more pathetic and therefore humorous, whereas for duffman and disco stu it's a state of mind.

Duffman and Disco Stu are also fictional.

duffman
*clapping*
JQM
Bravo. *sarcastic clapping*
try again . . . i didn't say that that the other two weren't fictional, and you'd have to read it in some obscure way to get that. what i meant was that gil occasionally talks in third person because it sounds funny, whereas duffman and disco stu do it permanently. it's their way..

Okay what about Surly.
