Chief Clancy Wiggum is a fictional character from the animated television seriesThe Simpsons, voiced by Hank Azaria. He is the chief of police in the show's setting of Springfield, and is the father of Ralph Wiggum and the husband of Sarah Wiggum.

The character's comedic value relies heavily on his immense incompetence and irresponsibility as a police officer, as well as his laziness and gluttony. Chief Wiggum's more responsible fellow officers Eddie and Lou play the straight men to his shenanigans.

In The Simpsons Road Rage, the house is not located on the same street as the Simpsons residence, and appears more of an apartment, located on the opposite side of the school. In The Simpsons Hit and Run, the back-garden is accessible, and is often home to collectibles. Aug 14, 2013  In this part, I pick up criminals and innocents as I play as Police Chief Wiggum!

Character development[edit]

His surname 'Wiggum' is Matt Groening's mother's maiden name.^[3] As 'a conscious pun', Wiggum was designed to look like a pig.^[4][5]Hank Azaria first based his voice for Wiggum on David Brinkley, but it was too slow and he switched it to an Edward G. Robinson impression.^[4][5]

Biography[edit]

Chief Wiggum is of Irish descent.^[6] Per the episode 'Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in 'The Curse of the Flying Hellfish', Wiggum's father Iggy served in Abe Simpson's infantry squad, implying the Wiggums emigrated to America by the early 1940s at the latest. In the episode 'Mother Simpson', a teenaged Wiggum was a trainee security guard at Springfield University when Homer's mother Mona sabotaged the University's laboratory, which Mr. Burns was using for biological weapons. Antibiotics used to kill the weapons cured Wiggum's asthma, allowing him to join the police force.

Many episodes have dealt with the back story of how Wiggum, despite his incompetence, occupies such a high rank in the police force.^[7] As with those of most supporting characters on the show, they are jokes for one episode and contradict each other. Wiggum was temporarily promoted to Commissioner of Police for Springfield's state in the 2005 episode 'Pranksta Rap'.^[8] He also appeared on Halloween novel depicting Stranger Things as chief Jim Hopper.^[9]

Positive qualities[edit]

Despite his severe incompetence at his occupation, Wiggum on occasion has helped various other characters, such as helping Homer find his wife in 'Marge on the Lam'. He rescued Maggie Simpson when she ran away from home to look for Marge in 'Homer Alone', by helping Lisa Simpson find Mr. Burns' assailant in 'Who Shot Mr. Burns?' as well as helping backing her up in a school protest on one occasion in 'The President Wore Pearls'. In the episode 'Pranksta Rap' he manages to find the presumed kidnapped Bart Simpson in Kirk Van Houten's apartment. He also arrived just in time during crucial moments such as the various times Sideshow Bob had attempted to kill Bart Simpson. Perhaps the best example of this is the episode 'Mother Simpson', where it is implied that he leads the FBI astray in their search for Mona Simpson, allowing her to escape in gratitude for curing his asthma. Although Wiggum can often antagonize others as well, it is heavily implied that it is not out of malice but merely because he is doing his job or because he is ignorant of the situation.

Unused Graphics

A large number of unused images are only present in the GameCube edition.

Chief Wiggum sprite

A leftover sprite of Chief Wiggum that would have been used in the character selection screen. This sprite is identical to the one used in the E3 2001 prototype. The image is titled LWiggum.png while the sprite that is actually used is located in the same folder and titled LChief.png.

Beer Bottles

Leftover beer bottles that were used in the HUD in the E3 prototype. They would have been used for the 'destroy stuff' and 'avoid the traffic' tasks.

Coin

A coin sprite that would have been displayed in the HUD next to the total money earned. This sprite was used in the non-E3 prototype.

Hourglass

An hourglass sprite that would have been displayed in the HUD next to the remaining time. Like the coin, this sprite was used in the non-E3 prototype.

GameCube Buttons

Graphics for the GameCube controller buttons. The font is different and the X, Y and Z buttons are the wrong shape.

Language Selection

Graphics for an apparent language selection menu, namely for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Blackboard

A blackboard image inside a directory titled 'loading', which implies it was going to be used in the loading screen. In the non-E3 prototype, the loading screen does have a blackboard with Bart writing on it, but the image is less detailed.

Krusty Burger

Leftover textures for Krusty Burger which would have been used when the game had a more 'cartoony' look during development, as seen in the E3 prototype.

Burns' Mansion

Leftover textures for Mr. Burns' mansion in the 'Springfield Mountains' level. Again probably used when the game was more 'cartoony'.

Placeholder Dialogue

Placeholder Pedestrian Dialogue

Located in the 'Female' directory of dialog.rcf in the GameCube release of the game, these robotised female voice clips are obvious placeholders for when a female pedestrian gets hit by or dodges your car. These clips bear a remarkable similarity to some of the placeholder voices heard in the non-E3 prototype. Interestingly, none of the female pedestrians included in the game have any voice clips, so these provisional files never needed to be replaced.

Unused Pedestrian Folders

Inside dialog.rcf, there are three subfolders inside sound/dialog/english named BGMurphy, Drzweig and Lurleen, referring to the characters Bleeding Gums Murphy, Dr. Zweig, and Lurleen Lumpkin, respectively. All three of these folders contain another subfolder named Pedestri, which contains an 8 byte .dlg file used as a placeholder. Both Dr. Zweig and Lurleen appear in-game as low quality, unvoiced pedestrians - Bleeding Gums does not, however.

Unused Music

Three unused tracks. Their filenames suggest they were intended for gameplay in 'Road Rage' or 'Head to Head' mode.

Unused Models

Dr. Hibbert

Dr. Hibbert who is untextured but has material. He was probably intended to be a passenger at some point.

Kent Brockman

Kent Brockman who normally only appears in the FMV cutscenes. He also has material but no textures.

Misplaced Objects

If the player uses the cheat for additional camera views, they can glitch out of the level boundaries using the 'Look Camera' option. The boundaries were put in place when the game was forced to shift from an open world design, instead having individual levels late in the development cycle.

Evergreen Terrace

At a distance behind the wreckage at the beginning of the level, there is an identical wreckage. This was most likely used to indicate where the level connects to the Springfield Mountains level.

Downtown

If one glitches out of bounds to where the Springfield Mountains should be, they should see an unused stream of water along with a misplaced dot. It's also worth noting that there are unused collisions and spawn points for the streets and terrain that can't be seen even with the routing cheat.

Springfield Mountains

There is an unused, cheaply made sign saying 'Soft Shoulder, Blind Curves, Steep Grade, Big Trucks, Good Luck!' placed behind the wreck at the beginning of the level. In this area, there is also a Burns Transit Bus Stop, a power line and a speed limit sign.

Unused Spawn Points

In Downtown, there are two unused spawn points that cannot be accessed without glitching or cheating out of the map. The first spawn point is behind the crashed truck at the beginning at the level at the other end of the tunnel, which leads to nowhere. The second one is located out of bounds on an invisible hill near the other exit of the level near the unused river stream.

Debugging Functions

Collision Debug

In the options menu, enter one of the codes below (depending on platform) to enable debug collison lines and boxes during gameplay.

Debug Display

Enable Action Replay Code

in the European GameCube version to add a debug display to the bottom right of the screen. This code also enables the above mentioned collision debug.

Development Text

All files determining the properties of individual vehicles start with the following comment:

Console Differences

Additional Ending

Upon completion of the game, a cutscene where Mr. Burns admits defeat will play on all three console versions. However, an additional cutscene featuring Kang and Kodos appears only on the GameCube and Xbox versions. The cutscene reveals that the two aliens were playing Road Rage, but have grown bored and decide to play an 'alternate game', namely a version of PONG as their spaceship flies off. It was removed in the PlayStation 2 version for unknown reasons.

Removed Passengers

In the PlayStation 2 version, a passenger in Evergreen Terrace (Barney, Captain McCallister or Squeaky-voiced Teen) will be standing outside an alleyway and will ask to be dropped off at Smithers' apartment. However, they don't make an appearance at all in the GameCube and Xbox versions. This is most likely because the distance between the passenger and the drop-off location is so short that the player can take advantage of this by using these passengers to rack up an unlimited amount of money without running out of time.
