| ~ Stanley DeGroot in regards to his soup. |
Stanley DeGroot, later and best known as Dark Stanley, is a one-shot antagonist of The Simpsons, serving as the overarching antagonist of the Season 18 episode "Yokel Chords". Once the cook at Springfield Elementary, he eventually became a serial killer who devoured his victims.
He was voiced by Dan Castellaneta, who also voices Homer's Clones.
Biography[]
In the legend, Stanley DeGroot went to college but failed to graduate. As a result, he got a job working as a lowly cook at Springfield Elementary, where all the kids made fun of him about his unsuccessful past, mostly never graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which made him miserable.
One day, Stanley finally snapped and desired revenge against the children who had mocked him. Picking up a cleaver amidst a crowd of terrified kids, Stanley ran round the school butchering and brutally beheading the kids until there were none of them left as a new entree on the menu. After the massacre, Stanley then threw their heads into a pot of boiling water, creating a new dish called "Kids' Head Soup". He then presented the soup to the staff the next day for lunch, and they were horrified to discover that their lunch contained parts of their students.
Stanley was immediately arrested for murder, executed by hanging and was buried in an unmarked grave. But the next day when the authorities came back to check on his grave, they found the entire cemetery he was buried in had vanished.
Haunting of Dark Stanley[]
Stanley DeGroot was now renamed "Dark Stanley" and returned from the grave, so said the legend, and harvested the brains of the living, regardless of whether they were child or adult, and he took them back to the Netherworld for his "Soup of Sorrow." Eventually, despite no-one ever having seen him, every single child in Springfield Elementary believed and dreaded this ghost, and when Bart Simpson, who was narrating the story, apparently dropped dead with his skull sliced open and his brain spilling out, the kids believed Dark Stanley had appeared, and all ran screaming out of the school. Bart, who had just been telling this story to get some lunch (Homer had forgotten to give his own kids proper lunches) out of his mates, had actually disguised his "brains" with spaghetti and tomato sauce, and calmly cleaned himself down and helped himself to his classmates' lunches in the empty cafeteria.
Repercussions[]
Even though Bart Simpson just invented the story to get some lunch, he had to see a psychiatrist, as Principal Skinner recommended to Homer. Homer went to take Bart to a psychiatrist whom he actually befriended. After many days together, both had grown fond of each other and when Bart had told the psychiatrist all he needed to tell her, he left abruptly, feeling relieved to get all his family problems off his chest. Afterwards, the psychiatrist went to her own psychiatrist, who suggested that she was replacing Bart with her own son, who had been 'murdered by Dark Stanley,' to which she said she wasn't ready to go there yet. This statement revealed that Dark Stanley actually existed.
