Groundskeeper Willie

Groundskeeper Willie is a fictional character from the animated television series *The Simpsons*—the hot-tempered, red-haired Scottish janitor at Springfield Elementary School.

Known for his thick accent, muscular physique, and frequent shirt removal, he embodies an exaggerated Scottish stereotype.

The character has become a cultural reference point for comically aggressive groundskeepers or maintenance workers: He went full Groundskeeper Willie on those weeds.
