Mofaz, the Depressed Persian Tow Truck Man (Michael McDonald) scoffs when his customers complain about their problems. He describes his miserable life, inadvertently making them feel better about themselves. Mofaz's complaints involve various facets of his life, such as his job and family. Mofaz speaks poor English, often searching for words with his catchphrase "Erm, how you say?", also using the expressions "hellaaa, hellaaa, hellaaa" for "testicles," and "kraimenech" for "vulva". In each skit, he would be given a different title, following the form "The Depressed Persian Tow Truck Man Who ".
In the skit with Hillary Clinton (Nicole Parker), Mofaz claimed that his full name is "Mofaz Idi Amin Pol Pot Stalin bin Laden Manson Johnson Always".
Mofaz appeared 14 times during seasons 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

“For me, it’s enough! They’ve been here long enough—maybe too long. It’s a funny thing, though. All these years Fred was too busy to have much time for the kids, now he’s the one who’s depressed because they’re leaving. He’s really having trouble letting go. He wants to gather them around and keep them right here in this house.”
—Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)
“Come, give thy soul a loose, and taste the pleasures of the poor.
Sometimes ‘tis grateful for the rich to try
A short vicissitude, and fit of poverty:
A savory dish, a homely treat,
Where all is plain, where all is neat,
Without the stately spacious room,
The Persian carpet, or the Tyrian loom,
Clear up the cloudy foreheads of the great.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)
“If an Englishman gets run down by a truck he apologizes to the truck.”
—Jackie Mason (b. 1931)
“A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye, by the look of his house, of his chamber; for nothing on earth is solitary but every thing hath affinities infinite.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
