![]() ![]() ![]() Burns is also unconcerned and dispassionate for his employees' safety and well-being, even laughing at the sight of a window washer falling from a great height of a building. Burns also embodies the stereotype of a manager by forgetting his employees' names (especially Homer's, although it appears that they interact more than Burns does with most of his employees), though this can be attributed to his senility. This was shown when he briefly tried to run for Governor in order to prevent his plant from being shut down, and the time when he tried to sell uranium rods to terrorists for profit. Burns embodies a number of stereotypes about corporate America, as he has an unquenchable desire to increase his own wealth and power, even through criminal means if necessary. He serves as the main antagonist of the long-running animated sitcom series The Simpsons, the secondary antagonist of its 2007 theatrical film The Simpsons Movie and as the main antagonist and final boss of the beat-em up video game The Simpsons Arcade Game and the racing video game The Simpsons: Road Rage.
