This results in the gang being brought back to it's former glory.
Appearance[]
Just like Moe, Lenny and Carl, Homer has the same appearance as his normal self, with the only differences being his eye makeup, his white outfit and black bowler which are based on Alex and his friends from A Clockwork Orange.
Biography[]
In the town of London, years before the events of A Clockwork Yellow, Dum was one of Moe's criminal gang members at the time of their glory. As Moe narrates his past, Dum is first seen sitting on a couch with his partners and leader.
During the montage where Moe tells about he and his gang's schemes, Dum is seen bitting on one of the West End Wiseguys's arm while the rest of his gang was beating them up, later falling asleep while they were doing so. Soon after, he played a game of in-and-out within the Uwik-E-Mart, jumping back and forth to open the double doors.
However, despite the gang's glory, Dum meets a young Marge inside a bar and asks if she wants to pass some time with him while listening to old Luther Van, to which she agrees. Shortly after turning on the radio, he switches the music to William Tell Overtune as, in a sped up fashion, he sets up his room for himself and Marge, eats food in the fridge, orders pizza for himself to eat, pullsMarge back inside when she was about to leave, drinking two cups of champagne at once, grilling meat and eating it and so on, before finally kissing her.
Later, Dum shows Moe his new wife, officially announcing that he is giving up his criminal life as Marge requested him. Moe then asks what future holds for the two, which Marge answers by saying that Dum got himself a job as a Beefeater, ultimately retiring with Marge as he leaves his former gang behind, causing the gang to fall apart as Moe is thrown off the Big Ben tower.
Years later, he is visted by Moe again, who convinces him to join the gang back for one final scheme, but Marge is against it due to them having Maggie to take care off. Tired of his quiet home life, he agrees to join the gang back so he can be a man again. Moe then teaches Dum how to jaywalk, only for him to encounter Lenny and Carl, his former gang members who became police officers. This allows Moe to fully reform the gang after months of inactivity. While walking in style with Moe and his gang, he is seen going slower than the others, failing to keep up, but is encouraged by the former to keep up.
Dum then decides with his gang what plan they would do as their final scheme by writing on nasties and putting them inside one bowler hat, with the chosen scheme being home invasion. As they look at Mr. Burns' mansion nearby, they decide to break inside while the latter was hosting a mask party, causing a fight where every guest of Mr. Burns lash out against him and his partners. During said fight, Dum takes out Sideshow Mel's bone out of his hair and whacks him with it, only to be briefly interrupted by a guest who forgot to pick up his phone before leaving, making him confused. Nonetheless, Dum is last seen strangling a guest as Moe is beaten up, finally glad that his gang had reformed it's glory.
Trivia[]
- When Dum offers Marge to spend some time with him while listening to old Luther Van, he refers to the late Luther Vandross, most famous for his 1981 single "Never Too Much", even having a poster of said singer in his room.
- He is a parody of one of Alex's friends from Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, as the whole segment is a parody of the movie.
