Horatio McCallister (or McAllister), a ship's captain, is a fictional character from the animated TV program The Simpsons.
Captain Horatio McCallister's first name probably either comes from British admiral Horatio Nelson or fictional character Horatio Hornblower. He is probably named after Captain McCallister in the movie Flying Leathernecks or Fort McCallister . His character is based on Long John Silver.
He was also shown as the owner of The Frying Dutchman all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant. Homer Simpson's visit to the restaurant caused the captain to observe about him, "'Tis no man, 'tis a remorseless eatin' machine!"
McCallister, who has two glass eyes, also worked at the summer camp where Homer and Marge met, vowing to show only PG movies, and nothing "aargh" (a play on R movies, "aargh" is his catchphrase)
Captain's quotes
- "Tis nothin personal, squiddy, I heard you had a pot of gold in yer belly."
- "Arr, I've got customers; call me back, Ishmael."
