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.”

“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If an Englishman gets run down by a truck he apologizes to the truck.”
—Jackie Mason (b. 1931)
“Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
