A character from Sweet Cuppin' Cakes that has Bubs' voice. For some reason, he really really wants to annihilate Eh! Steve. Strong Bad seems to think that Eh! Steve deserves it ,though. Also, he likes to pronounce his "oo" vowels well, longly. Example: "I'll get you, Eh! Steve, if it's the last thing I doooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!"
The Wheelchair sometimes sports a Brooklyn accent, as evidenced by his pronunciation of the word boiled ("berled haliday cabbage") in Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes. This begs the question of whether Bubs himself is from Brooklyn, or if he is making a conscious acting choice on behalf of the Wheelchair character. Ironically, Strong Bad chooses to affect a Brooklyn accent when he pronounces words like "soivice" in lackey; but the now-common replacement of an "oi" sound with "er" (e.g., "terlet") began as an overcompensation for the often-parodied tendency of Brooklynites to pronounce "er" as "oi."
