Where were Urkel's parents


Did they ever show Steve Urkel's parents?

reply

No, just the side of his mother's head in his baby picture but his big head blocked it.

reply

Urkel to me never had a big head. I think that was just a joke they were trying to start up because other sitcoms like Martin poked fun at people being big headed.

Steve Urkel mentons his parents quite often, but we never see them. It's a sitcom trope, a frequently mentioned but never seen character.

We do hear Urkel's mother's voice in the background in an episode.
According to several descriptions, his father is a short man who sounds like a woman(laura thought it was steve's mom when MR. Urkel answered the phone one time).

reply

His father is a high talker.

Steve most likely got his high pitched voice from his father.
