Bart after Dark - Jasper attends the town meeting, where the town votes to destroy the Maison Derriere. (Grampa advises Jasper to keep his mouth shout about the presence of a bordello in town.) Later, Jasper sings in "The Spring in Springfield," with Grampa.

Dialogue:

JASPER: "They talkin' about the bordello?"

Hurricane Neddy - Jasper is part of the hurricane-panicked crowd trying to buy last-minute supplies at the Kwik-E-Mart, and is later part of the benevolent crowd that rebuilds Ned's house.

El Viaje de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer) - Jasper is part of the crowd that watches Homer eat the Insanity Pepper. He is later seen operating a chili stand, but in the very next shot (a continuous cut, mind), he is seen standing with Nelson, Mrs. Krabappel, and Barney. This raises the question of how Jasper could be in two places at once, and further speculation leads to the postulation that he may have a twin brother. Homer's vision of Jasper is distorted by his hallucinogenic state, and Jasper seems to say:

Dialogue:

JASPER: "Goo goo ga joob?"

Reference Note: "Goo goo ga joob" is most likely a reference to the line from the Beatles' "I Am The Walrus," due to the psychedelic nature of the sequence. The lyric was later referenced in Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson," which may also be the source of the line.

The Springfield Files - Jasper swallows the wrong pills at the Retirement Castle and instantly grows white fur all over his body. Later, he is part of the crowd (back to normal) of Springfielders who converge on the Simpson residence after the broadcast of Homer's alien video, and part of the crowd of alien-watchers who gathers in the forest and eventually attacks the "alien." He is seen singing "Good Morning Starshine" with his arm around Special Agent Mulder.

Dialogue:

JASPER: "Thank god it's Wednesday!"
OLD LADY: "It's Friday!"
JASPER: "Uh-oh... wrong pills.... [grows hair] Little help?"

Deleted Scenes:

In one of the most significant deleted scenes, Jasper is revealed to have been the minister at the First Church of Springfield prior to Reverend Lovejoy's arrival in the 1970s. He warns Lovejoy that the job ahead of him will be difficult. Because this is a deleted scene, it cannot be considered canonical. During the commentary on the deleted scene, however, the producers indicate that a future episode will sketch in Jasper's entire back story.

Deleted Dialogue:

LOVEJOY (VO): "The outgoing minister warned me it wouldn't be easy..."
JASPER: "Ain't gonna be easy."
LOVEJOY (VO): "...and he wished me good luck..."
JASPER: "Oh, you're screwed!"

Homer's Enemy - No appearance

The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase - In the third segment, "The Simpson Family Smile-Time Variety Hour," Jasper is a member of the featured Baggy Pants Players. (The other members are Selma, Lenny, Willie, Hibbert, and Captain McAllister.) Jasper appears in the "I want candy" number, singing "Lollipop." When he does the trademark POP, he pops his dentures out onto the stage. In the finale of the number, he is dressed as a giant lollipop. Or is it a peppermint?

Dialogue:

JASPER (singing): "'Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolly lollipop, lollipop! ... Ow."

The Secret War of Lisa Simpson - When Lisa calls Grampa from military school to have someone to talk to, Grampa tells her his entire life story. When she presses him for even more, he tries to get one of the other Retirement Castle residents - a group which includes Jasper - to take the phone. They all refuse.

Dialogue:

JASPER: "I've already talked to her for twenty damn minutes..."
