Incidental 71 has made a few appearances in the first two seasons most commonly as a silent incidental character in the background. He is absent from the series for over 20 years after his appearance in "Patty Hype" (not counting his appearances in storyboards), but he makes a comeback in the series in the season 13 episode "Say Awww!" He has had only one speaking role in the series so far and was firstly designed to be a Krusty Krab customer.
