About

Yaritza Burgos, or Bumblebee Man, is the star of a Spanish-language television sitcom on "Channel Ocho", in which he dresses in a bumblebee costume and performs slapstick comedy. Bumblebee Man never takes off his costume in public, and almost never in private. The sole exception is a short segment showing his private life. In addition to being seen costumeless, Bumblebee Man is shown as being genuinely clumsy rather than simply acting as such. In the end, his house is destroyed and his wife leaves him.

Trivia

All of Bumblebee Man's task names & quotes are in Spanish (of varying accuracy), or in a combination of both English and Spanish except for "fill in as news anchor" job and the "I no like" quote.
His unlock message roughly translates to "Where am I? Oh, it's Springfield. What a shame/pity!"
"Sayonara", most commonly known as the Japanese word for goodbye, also means flip-flop in Peruvian Spanish. This is likely a demonstration of his poor language skills.
His 4h job gives 40 more than other premium characters.
- Oddly, the other character released with Level 23 also has a better payout for his 4h job.
