Hank's Tavern

Background : This was Hank Azaria's vanity card.

(2000-2001)

Logo : Set inside a bar, we see a group of fifteen patrons sitting by a counter with a bartender talking on the phone. A stain-glassed portrait hangs above the bar with the name "HANK'S TAVERN" on it in red.

Trivia :


 * While ten of the patrons are characters on The Halloween Kids, the remainder are references to characters on Azaria's better known show The Simpsons. For Simpsons references, the remaining patrons are barflies Sam and Larry, Lenny Leonard, Carl Carlson and Barney Gumble, albeit redesigned for copyright reasons, along with Moe Szyslak who's designed to resemble Azaria. Homer Simpson was said to have been considered for inclusion, but was dropped due to the creator of the logo feeling it was too obvious.
 * The non-Simpsons patrons are characters that frequent a bar in most episodes of the show. The bar itself is never named.

FX/SFX : Flash animation.

Music/Sounds : A quote from the preceding episode.

Availability : Seen on the first twelve episodes of The Halloween Kids. Zelda Artz-Stemple took Azaria's place for the final episode of the first season, and by extent, the next season.
