Aren't Millhouse and Pfeiffer the same person?

All nerds must have taped glasses and belong to the chess and/or computer club. Adenoidal or higher pitched/squeaky voices are also more or less mandatory.

The problem with Urkel was he always felt the need to be on various episodes as a non-nerd other character, as if he wanted to prove to the world he wasn't really a nerd in real life and was actually a 'cool guy'. For some reason that bothered me and kind of took away from the whole show.

Comic Book Guy



(aka The Collector)


Yes, finally. I would like to return your quote-unquote 'Ultimate Belt.'
I see, do you have a receipt for that quote-unquote?
No, I do not have a receipt, I won it as the door prize at a Star Trek convention, although I find their choice of prize highly illogical as the average Trekker has no use for a medium-sized belt.
Whoa, whoa. A fat, sarcastic Star Trek fan. You must be a devil with the ladies.
Hey, I... Huh... Tha... Oh...
Gee, I hate to let you down Casanova, but uh, no receipt, no return.
I'll give you four bucks for it.
Very well. I must hurry back to my comic book store, where I dispense the insults rather than absorb them.

Not nerds. Boner and Horshack were more of the dork/spazz/dweeb type ... perhaps another good topic

And how could you forget Ernie Douglas! Thankfully Jan Brady has been purged from our collective memories, so I won't mention her.
