Otto Sylvester Mann (born January 18) is a former school underachiever who now drives the school bus for Springfield Elementary. Otto was initially conceived by Shearer himself as a caricature of heavy metal music aficionados who mostly play guitar and use drugs while occupying a low-level labor job. He then became a character well known for his pa...
Otto is notable for being the cool, pot-smoking bus driver, maniacal driving, love of heavy metal music, and propensity for the 1980's junkie lifestyle. According to his driver's license he was 29, as of "The Otto Show." He is also confirmed to be 5 ft 10 inch (5'10), on the back flap of the Season 15 box set, showing said license to hold the guide.
Otto has apparently graduated from Brown University, as shown in "Lisa Gets an "A"". However, due to this information being revealed in a dream, it might be non-canon.
He was placed under suspension at least twice: Once after he not only crashed a school bus full of kids for the fifteenth time but was also revealed not to possess a driver's license and another time when he spanked Bart out of fury after Bart stole the bus (and thus cost him his one and only chance of proving himself to Metallica by giving them a ride).
He has been seen at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings: "My name is Otto, and I love to get blotto!" Otto has been seen smoking marijuana and during Trappuccino, he used a bong. He once had a hallucination in which his shoes were talking to him as a result of his drug use. Skinner stated that also, at one point, he was apparently driving the bus while on narcotics, wondering if Metallica was indeed the real Metallica with their tour bus broken down, until a narcotic-induced hallucination of a dragon confirmed he wasn't seeing things in regards to Metallica. Otto once submitted a urine sample as part of an application for a job as a prison guard, which contained "crack, smack, uppers, downers, outers, inners, horse tranquilizers, cow paralyzers, blue bombers, green goofers, yellow submarines" and "LSD Mach 3". He only managed to pass because he swapped his sample with Homer's. When Homer violently hallucinates when under the influence of the Guatemalan Insanity Peppers, he advises Ralph Wiggum to quietly disregard and leave Homer alone, showing that he has experience of knowing what to do during drug induced psychosis on others than himself. During the Simpson Movie, Otto barely noticed the Dome causing the town's self-destructive spiral, as he spent most of his time high while bent over a bong.
Otto has a passion for rock music, being very skillful at playing the guitar (saying that it was the only thing he did in high school). Otto's favorite songs include "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin, "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group, "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison, "Purple Haze" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and "We're an American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad. He claims that music is about far off lands (Immigrant Song), deals with the devil (The Devil Went Down to Georgia) and smoke in relation to water (Smoke on the Water). He also likes Metallica, which is referenced several times, but he doesn't state particular songs. He once actually met the band after driving past their broken tour bus. Otto apparently saved Kirk Hammett from quitting the band after seeing his lighter in a concert at Springfield Arena in 1997. When he tried to offer Metallica a ride, Bart drove off with the school bus. He also once mistook a line at the Post Office set up for tax day for a Metallica concert, and didn't realize his mistake until after Kent Brockman asked him why he waited until the last minute to file his tax returns.
At a mock-medieval fair at the school, Otto played a song with a strong metaphor towards oral sex ("Dragon in my dungeon, maiden in my lair, there's potion in my wizard's pot, now drink it if you dare), then performed a lute solo in the style of Jimi Hendrix's guitar solos. He put the lute behind his head to play it, smashed it, and then lit the remains on fire on the floor (just as Hendrix did on June 18, 1967 at the Monterey Pop Festival), receiving a round of applause.
Otto's father is an Admiral in the United States Navy, and the two do not get along (Jim Morrison's father was also a naval admiral, also having an estranged relationship). His father warned Otto that if he spent all day playing his guitar, his life would amount to nothing, although Otto doesn't really consider his words to have come true, despite ...
Future
At one of his lowest points in his life, Otto became even more inebriated and drug ridden as an overweight terminal junkie. He managed to have a job as a limousine driver, although the night he drove a senior Bart Simpson and Jenda from Springfield High's prom of 201X (2013 was the episode's set year as by logic of the Floating Timeline), he was barely coherent and was bare naked during the job, and when driving them to Springfield Gorge, immediately stopped in a drug induced stupor and wandered off into the wilderness, where he jumped off a cliff believing he could fly. At age 44, he apparently retired from being a Bus Driver and founded a Taxi service business in Springfield. Otto himself appeared on a video screen in "Muhammad Jafar's" cab when he was driving Lisa Simpson and Hugh Parkfield to 742 Evergreen Terrace to tell him, while addressing him by his real name that after doing the fare, he should "get his indicted ass to the convention center pronto!" In "24 Minutes", Otto drives the school bus onto the railroad tracks, either seriously injuring or killing him. In "Barthood", he was seen driving a Blood Zoni.
The Simpsons Game
Otto first appears in the level Around the World in 80 Bites as a contestant in the Duff Ultimate Eating Challenge. He later appears in the form of a ghostly skeleton that attacks Homer, Marge, and their army of Hobbit-like children in NeverQuest.
•In "The Otto Show", he showed that he can play a guitar both left-handed and right-handed, right way and upside down, like Jimi Hendrix. He is just that good.
•He wears headphones with his Walkman because he doesn't want to let other people understand he sometimes listens to classical music.
•He bought a tape of children's songs used to annoy bus drivers.
•His urine sample shows he takes so many drugs that it only contained trace amounts of human urine.
•He has been suspended from driving the school bus twice. The first time was for reckless driving and the second time was for spanking Bart.
•In the French dub he is the third character voiced by Philippe Peythieu, Homer's voice actor (the second being Abe Simpson II).
Otto's look is based on Former Simpsons writer Wallace Wolodarsky. In the commentary for "Bart the Daredevil", it is revealed that the writers planned to name him Otto Mechanic, but the joke never appeared in an episode. His name is a joke on the Ottoman Empire, as well as Bart's tendency to greet him with "Otto, man!" In "The Otto Show" we see his...

Jul 12, 2022 · Imagine the coolest, most laid-back dude you’ve ever met, then put him behind the wheel of a school bus in the most dysfunctional town on television, Springfield. That’s Otto. He’s the school bus driver on “The Simpsons,” but to just call him a bus driver doesn’t do him justice.
Otto Mann, known as Otto the Bus Driver prior to Season 8 (and so stylized after Bart calling him "the Otto man" on several occasions), is a former school underachiever and later college dropout who now works as the bus driver for Springfield Elementary.
