Role in series[]

Mr. What Zit Tooya has made a somewhat large amount appearances throughout the series so far, for he is one of the incidental characters that didn’t debut in the first two seasons. He was at first used as a one time character that was labeled as "mystery man vest" for the episode "Good Ol' Whatshisname," but then became a redesigned regular incidental character much later in the series where he is usually portrayed as an elderly citizen. He makes his biggest role yet in his debut, "Good Ol' Whatshisname" as part of the main plot for nearly half the episode.
