*** He actually DID smoke a cigar [[http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/d/d7/Thank_You_2.PNG once]], though there's no way of seeing the short toon anymore.

*** He actually DID smoke a cigar [[http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/d/d7/Thank_You_2.PNG once]], though there's no way of seeing the short toon anymore. To see it, you had to buy something from the store between 5 AM and 11:59 PM, but even then there was only a 1/3 chance that that was the one you would see. And on top of that, they discontinued the store messages in 2008.

** Coach Z once finds him "smoking," but Strong Bad denies he's a smoker admits it's just a white crayon he can use to get a smoke break after he'd taken up all the other types of leaves including maternity.

* ThePresidentsDaughter: The King of Town [[http://homestarrunner.com/oldflash.html was originally considered to be her dad]], but the Brothers Chaps [[RetCon now dismiss that idea as]] [[http://web.archive.org/web/20041112050031/http://www.clubaquatica.net/Interviews/matttranscript_2.htm "a horrible rumor."]]


Added DiffLines:

* AnythingThatMoves: In keeping with his [[StalkerWithACrush creepiness]], he seems to have shown interest in not only [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Marzipan]], but also Bubs, Homestar, and even Pom Pom. And he [[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/strong_badathlon#Commentary_Transcript apparently]] had a crush on [[strike:[[CargoShip a yellow flag]]]] "a hot blonde" at one point.


Added DiffLines:

* FunnyForeigner: He's "a crazy man from another country," at least according to [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/yearbookcz.html this old character page]]. Might help explain his [[JustAStupidAccent ridiculous accent]], at any rate.


Added DiffLines:

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Originally, he just called himself a coach because he thought [[http://homestarrunner.com/oldflash.html "Coach Z sounds cooler than just Z"]], but this idea [[RetCon has been pretty thoroughly abandoned]]. Doesn't stop him from doing just as much rapping and janitorial work as coaching nowadays, though.

An alternate version of Bubs with two dot eyes and a unicorn-type horn coming out of his head. Unlike most of the H*R cast, he's voiced by Mike instead of Matt. Like the regular Bubs, he runs (or claims to run) a concession stand (in his case, called "Eight Burgers"). As with most of Mike's characters, his appearances are few and far-between. With the exception of his debut in ''Theme Park'', he has only appeared as a puppet or as a voice on the DVD commentaries.

The brothers came up with the character after a Japanese toy designer sent them prototype plush toys of some of the characters. They were very amused at how the designer misinterpreted Bubs's eyes and mouth and worked. They initially put him in a cartoon as an AffectionateParody of unlicensed toys. However, every appearance since then has been as a character (complete with spoken lines) as opposed to just being a prop.

Looks and name aside, his personality is only marginally similar to his more well-known counterpart. Think of a ''slightly'' more articulate version of Homsar or Senor Cartgage and you're probably on the right track.
