Snake Jailbird (usually referred to as simply Snake) is a recurring fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons, who is voiced by Hank Azaria. Snake's first appearance was in the episode "The War of the Simpsons". His catchphrase is "Bye!", which he usually says when he's in trouble. His real name is Albert Knickerbocker Aloysius Snake, although a Simpsons card says his name is Chester Turley. He was named the 19th (out of 25) of IGN's Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters.
Snake is Springfield's resident recidivist felon, always getting arrested but rarely staying in jail. He speaks with a Valley Boy accent. He is partial to fast cars and fast women, and has a knack for reckless abandon. He was formerly an idealistic Indiana Jones-type archaeologist until Moe Szyslak stole the Mayan gold coins he had discovered and was going to donate to the museum, and he decided to take his revenge out on society (convenience stores).
He also attended Middlebury College and repaid his student loans after robbing Moe Szyslak's tavern. He once ran a telemarketing scam, but could not stick to it because he did not like bothering people at home. He also wrote the books, The Ten Habits of Highly Successful Criminals and A Criminal's Guide to Hiding in Mexico. When wearing a prison uniform, his prison number is 7F20, which is the production code of his debut episode.
