Disco Stu is a disco afficionado. He is usually featured wearing a rhinestone-encrusted jumpsuit. He often refers to himself in the third person (putting a big emphasis on "Stu" and then pausing before sayinthing else) and is noted for being mentally stuck in the Disco Era.
He first appeared during a Springfield-wide yard-sale day. Homer was reminiscing about his "disco stud" sequined jacket from the 1970s, that only read "Disco Stu" since he ran out of room on the back of the jacket. Marge told Homer that the jacket wouldn't sell. Someone exclaims, "hey, Stu, you should buy that" to which he replies, "Disco Stu doesn't advertise!" He doesn't buy the jacket. In another episode he says "Disco Stu got hooked on the white stuff in the seventies," and gets a bag of sugar.
Disco Stu has also been seen with dead goldfish in his platform shoes, hitting on Marge Simpson at a ski lodge (until he finds out she has children), telling his troubles to a taxi driver with a hidden camera, dancing with Homer after Homer discovers his love of walking, and, most recently, a regular on Homer's talk show. During the "taxi cab confession", Disco Stu revealed that he's actually really worried that he's let Disco define him as a person.
Disco Stu has also been parodied as a "Discus Stu" in an "Odyssey" parody, which takes place in Ancient Greece (he is a suitor to Odysseus' wife, Penelope). We later find out Discus Stu has enough Ouzo for Two-zo. (Stu and Bart.) He calls himself "Disco Shrew" in Treehouse of Horror XIII, in the segment where Dr. Hibbert goes mad and turns everybody into animals (As Stu was turned into a rodent-like creature).
