	Welcome to Snerdville
		Storytelling came to Mortimer with some difficulty, and this often frustrated Bergen to the point where the ventriloquist ended the conversation with some variation of the exclamation, "Mortimer, how can you be so stupid?" Mortimer answered this question with a different explanation every episode.
		Mortimer's parents got sick of him when he was young, so he moved in with his Grandpa on the farm in Snerdville.
		Although Mortimer has never had a girlfriend or even kissed a girl, whenever such things became the topic of conversation, Mortimer would substitute the closest thing he had: his dear and favorite cow, Bessie, who lives on the farm with him.

		The four guys on stage, however, were not Kiss, but a local teen band called Mortimer Snerd - to the 500 cheering kids in the auditorium at Sayreville Junior High School, however, it didn't seem to matter.
		Recognizing that Mortimer Snerd was probably the first Kiss cover band, Sharp sent the information to Paul Stanley, lead singer of Kiss.
		Mortimer Snerd's status as the first tribute band will also be acknowledged in future publications of Sharp's book.

	Re: "well, duh!" - informal linguistic accuracy
		While Charlie was a wise-cracking cosmopolitan, and dressed the part, Snerd was a rustic bumpkin, dressed as the hayseed that he was.
		Thus, when someone nowadays says "Duh" they are evoking Mortimer Snerd, for whom nothing was ever obvious, and who therefore stated the obvious as though it were a revelation (which to him it was).
		If there is someone out there who is old enough to have heard Snerd, I would be glad to hear his or her confirmation or denial of my brief explanation of this expression.

		The second is that it is a variation on the name of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's (Candace's father) dummy, Mortimer Snerd.
		Lighter, however, cites a 1941 use of the nickname Mortimer Snerd to refer to a technical, brainy type of guy.
		The evidence appears to be against the Mortimer Snerd explanation, chiefly because the original sense of nerd was a stupid or obnoxious person.

		Personally, I liked Mortimer Snerd better than Charlie; he was more like the rest of us.
		Lasting only about 20 years, the really big shows and their really big stars were replaced by around-the-clock newscasters, call-in shows and very, very loud noise (I think today's young people call it music).
		Thankfully, our young ears were blessed by the mellifluous tones of the Mills Brothers, Bing Crosby, the Ink Spots, Spike Jones and his City Slickers, and, of course, the one and only Mortimer Snerd.

	Edgar Bergen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the radio program, Bergen developed other characters, notably the slow-witted Mortimer Snerd (who bore a slight resemblance to the then-generic cartoon character now known as Alfred E. Neuman) and the man-hungry Effie Klinker.
		At the height of their popularity in 1938, Bergen was presented an Honorary Oscar (in the form of a wooden Oscar stauette) for his creation of Charlie McCarthy.
		Bergen and his two sidekicks Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd appeared on Walt Disney's One Hour In Wonderland in 1950 with Kathryn Beaumont (the voice of Alice in Disney's 1951 animated film Alice in Wonderland).

		Not being paleontologists, Charlie and Mortimer are unsure as to exactly which bone they need to replace, so they decide to bring back an entire skeleton, just be certain.

		Charlie was the pretentious city slicker; Mortimer was his freckle-faced, buck-toothed country cousin.
		One time Bergen asked, "Charlie, what are you doing?" The reply: "Oh, nothing." Then Mortimer interjected in his goofy, innocent manner, "Well, then how d'ya know when yer finished?" A Zen koan from the mouth of a wooden dummy.

	Mortimer - a definition from Whatis.com
		A Mortimer is a person who knows a lot about computers or the Internet but would rather ridicule those who know less than share some knowledge.
		The term is derived from the name of a certain famous wooden dummy whose last name was the compound of "snooty" and "nerd".
		Mortimer Snerd himself, creation of Edgar Bergen and colleague of Charlie McCarthy, would never have been considered snooty, a nerd, or (in this context) a Mortimer.

		Along with Charlie other additions to Bergen's repoitre were the dimwitted Mortimer Snerd, lusty older woman Effie Klinker and a human size dummy named Podine Puffington.
		It is worth noting that during this era of radio broadcasting (as it would be the case for television later on), the sponsor generally had more influence over a program's content than the network.
