Barney Gumble is voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]]{{sfn|Richmond & Coffman|1997|p=165}} who said he drew inspiration from [[Mr. Magoo]]'s nephew Waldo on the 1957 record album ''Magoo in Hi-Fi'' where Waldo was voiced by [[Daws Butler]] as well as a little big Frank Fontane's Crazy Guggenheim. Early on in the show, Castellaneta discovered that it was not easy for him to do Barney's trademark belch every time a script called for it, so he identified his best belch and told the producers to make that the standard, the belch also appears on an episode of [[The Pitts]].<ref>Jean, Al (2002).
