* ThemeNaming: He got his nickname as part of a comedy duo with Creator/TomKenny (of ''Series/MrShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'') called "Bobcat and Tomcat."
* VisualPun: On a couple of occasions, he's displayed a tattoo on his buttocks of a cymbal with slanted eyes and a mustache, which he got as a play on westerners getting tattoos in [[GratuitousForeignLanguage gratuitous Chinese]] - it's a "Chinese cymbal" instead of a "Chinese ''symbol''".

* ImplausibleDeniability: According to a standup bit, when he was charged with arson for the incident on ''Series/TheTonightShowWithJayLeno'', his attorney advised him to plead not guilty, despite the fact that the act was ''filmed in front of an audience and broadcast on live television'' - the punchline being "Uh, I saw the footage, I'm pretty sure it's me!"

Robert Francis "Bobcat" Goldthwait (born May 26, 1962) is an American comedian and director who rose to fame in the TheEighties for two things: his role of Zed in the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' series and for his stand-up act, most famous for acting ''[[CloudCuckoolander insane]]''.

The first film he directed was ''Film/ShakesTheClown'' in 1992 which was not a box-office success, but developed a cult following. His next notable return to directing was over a decade later when he directed episodes of ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'' During a break from that show, he directed his next feature film ''Sleeping Dogs Lie'', which was about an... [[BestialityIsDepraved interesting]] piece of subject matter to say the least. His next film, arguably his best-received, was ''Film/WorldsGreatestDad'' starring Creator/RobinWilliams. His latest film, ''Film/WillowCreek'', was released in 2014.

He acts much calmer in person now, and still does stand-up occasionally. He has [[http://instagram.com/bobcatgoldthwait Instagram]] and now [[https://twitter.com/bcgoldthwait Twitter.]]
