Joe Gargery was a character created by Charles Dickens in his novel Great Expectations. He appears in an identical role in the episode "Pip".

Joe Gargery is Pip's brother-in-law. He is a blacksmith and is also the husband of Pip's hot-tempered adult sister.

Appearance[]

He has an elongated face, a red nose, and really bad teeth. He has brown hair, badly-kept stubble, and hairy arms. He appears dressed in dark red overalls and brown shirt.

Family[]

Pip Pirrip[]

Joe has taken Pip on as his apprentice and wishes to teach him in the trade of being a blacksmith. When the lawyer from London comes to take Pip to be a gentleman, he appears to be disappointed that Pip is leaving him to be a gentleman rather than a blacksmith, but appears genuinely happy for Pip, remarking that Pip is "A young gentleman of great expectations!"

Mrs. Joe Gargery[]

His short-tempered wife, Pip's grown sister, is dismissive towards him and his work, often being obnoxious and abusive towards him as well as disparagingly calling him things like "metal-pounding fairy".

Trivia[]

  • One of the things Gargery creates is a metal orange. This is likely a reference to the novella A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, which was adapted into a film starring Malcolm McDowell, who appeared as the narrator of the episode.
