I removed voiceovers from parodies due to WP:UNDUE, WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This is a very famous and parodied character. While it helps the reader to know who voiced and acted official roles, it's not helpful to know parodies, some like the Tiny Toon one being recolored or renamed for copyright reasons. Other classic characters like Mickey Mouse and Batman have long been parodied, and likewise there should be a separation between official roles and parody.

I've moved all of these to the "popular culture" section. As I said, there's no reason to class the Simpsons' weird "Grumple" as "popular culture" but other cartoon parodies as relevant canonical appearances. For example, if someone was looking for all the many series and films starring Scooby Doo, they would not want to be bogged down by 50 years of parodies on Robot Chicken, Mad, SNL, Family Guy, etc Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:56, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
