Hilarious Professor Frink Inventions You’ll Never Get to Use

Professor John I.Q. Nerdelbaum Frink, Jr. was named after comedy writer John Frink, who would eventually become a writer for The Simpsons.  Hank Azaria brought the professor to life when he ad-libbed an impression of Jerry Lewis’ old character, the Nutty Professor.  Arguably one of the best television nerds of all time, Professor Frink has enriched our tv-watching lives with some of the greatest inventions we will never get to experience in real life, including the language known as “Hoyvin Glayvin.”  The following is a tribute to these inventions, inventions he created using  Thermodynamics, Hypermathematics, and of course, Microcalafragalistics…..bulv-gayvin.

Hamburger Earmuffs

If you think inventing the Hamburger Earmuffs was easy you’d be GLAYVENLY wrong.  The dear professor had problems like “the pickle matrix” to contend with, something Homer didn’t think of when he tried to steal Frink’s invention.

Death Ray

Invents a Ray of Death, it’s still in the Ray of Warmth phase, hopes that grandpa will invest.  (mm-hey!)

Gamble-Tron 2000

The Gamble-Tron 2000 was invented to predict the outcome of football games, and made its appearance during Lisa the Greekthe episode where Homer discovers Lisa’s sport betting skills.  How accurate are the GT-2000’s predictions? (Hoyvin!)

Radio Controlled Aeroplane for Babies

Thanks to the Frinkster, Apu could potentially command his very own squadron of flying babies. (Blayvin!)

Robo Bear

As Burns descends into the bowels of a deep depression over the loss of his teddy bear BoBo, Professor Frink introduces him to Robo, the robot bear.  (Hmm-blay!)

Run-Away House

Upon detecting any burgle-esque activities, the Run-Away House will do just that: It will stand up on electronic legs and go running down the street, whereupon it would trip and fall, spontaneously combust, setting all humans inside on fire. (Hm-hey!)

The 77X42

Not to be confused with the 77X43, Frinky invents the sourest sour ball ever.  (Voyvin!)

Frog Exaggerator

Bears a close resemblance to the Monsterometer.  (Gleevin!)

The Flying Motorcycle

Invents the Flying Motorcycle and offers it to Bart which he turns down. (Blayvin!)
Bart eventually regrets his decision.  (Mlayvin!)

Frinkahedron

As Homer gets sucked into a budget-busting dimension, Professor Frink explains to Homer’s family where he is.  (Ooomgle-hayvin hey!)

Frinkiak 7 Computer

Clearly unaware of the One Laptop Per Child program.  (Gleevin!)

Debigulator

Uses this invention to shrink Lisa so she can mingle with the tiny people who worship her as their God.  (Eedle-blay!)
But when Lisa needs to return to normal size…(Hoyvin Mayvin!)

AT-5000 Auto-Dialer


This device was invented for the noble purpose of informing children about snow days.   Alas, it fell into the hands of Jimmy the Scumbag and eventually Homer, who would use it for evil deeds like telemarketing and money-scamming. (Gleeevin!)

Matter Transporter

Sold to Homer for 35 cents, the Matter Transporter transforms Bart into the human fly.  (With the screaming and the transporting!)

Intra Bovine Ice-Cream Maker

Frink makes use of Mootilda’s four stomachs to produce delicious ice cream.  (Oye-vin!)

Sarcasm Detector

And my personal favorite. ( Blim-hey!)

Honorable Professor Frink inventions include:

A Steam Powered Super Spider for the Civil War reenactment.

A chess-playing robot arm

Floyd the Robot

Mood Pants

Automatic Tap Dancing Shoes

I love the AT-5000 with its amazing “phone home” feature that allowed legs to extend out of it and run away! Great post!

Very unusually from what we get out there every other day – I too like the telephone AT-5000 – that was funny I only vaguely remember it but heck they’re all good episodes

Professor Frink is great. The sarcasm detector is the best.

his late entrance to the 22 Short Films About Springfield episode is classic…
“Ha ha wha. Oh, sorry I’m late. There was trouble at the lab with the running and the exploding and the crying when the monkeys stole the glasses off my head. Wh-ha ha.”

love it

Prof Frink is definitely my fav. I used to play in a band called the Mississippi Flapjacks. 5 years ago, while driving through the Pyranees Mountains, John and I wrote a song entitled “Professor Frink” and it includes many of the inventions listed above. If anyone is interested, check out our song. here is a show we played at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis MO.
