== Biography ==

'''Bubs''' (full name: '''Bubs Concession Stand''', as he claims in [[Senorial Day]]) is the all around fix-it man. Running [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his own concession stand]], Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell [[Bubs' Concession Stand#Known Items Sold|almost anything]], and has developed a habit for selling ridiculous items at a humorously high price. He also has been seen operating the [[Baloney Sammich Truck]], which he drove down to the beach in [[Weclome Back]]. However, he only sold "exactly zero bologna sandwhiches" during his "best year ever." Bubs resells internet access, although he rips off his sole subscriber, [[Strong Bad]], in 99 different ways. It's likely that not all of his dealings are exactly legal, considering his reaction to a practical joke from [[Strong Bad]] in [[lackey]], and trying to dispose of items marked EXHIBIT A and EXHIBIT B (a presumably human pancreas which he tried to sell to [[Homestar Runner]]) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]]. He seems to dislike [[Strong Bad]] for not paying a debt to him, and threatened to turn him over to a "cut off your toes" style collection agency in [[other days]].

In his spare time he reads back issues of Motor Trend magazine, and also hangs out and talks with [[Coach Z]]. Apparently, Coach Z got on Bubs's bad side near Thanksgiving in 2005, and to get even, Bubs made a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the [[Fall Float Parade]]. (Coach Z retaliated by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] stole his concession stand and marched with it in the parade.) In [[narrator]], it was shown that they had patched things up and were once again having boring conversations.

Bubs [[Dancin' Bubs|dances]] and attends night courses at Disco Tech. His facial configuration is puzzling; in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], he appears to have a safety pin stuck through his face above an internal ear. In Strong Bad's [[record book]], he was solely declared "Cutest couple."

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! I'm Bubs. I run the concession stand around the way here. I'm a self-made man, I am, I am. I sell hot dogs, chili dogs, slaw dogs, ketchup dogs and mustard dogs. I got drinks, drinks, drinks, candy and snow cones. I can fix everything what needs fixing. Like cars... TVs... marriages. Ooh! I can dance, too. Shake it once! Shake it twice, a-gimme little bit o' sugar spice! I guess the word that best describes me is: personality. Umm... because I have a good personality. Okay. I gotta get back to work. Come on by! We're always awesome! ''{leaves, then reappears in his Concession Stand in the background}''

== Fun Facts ==
+
-
* Bubs is based on a person [[The Brothers Chaps]] knew growing up who worked at a concession stand locally and spoke with the same gravelly voice.
+
-
**Matt has also admitted in interviews that Bubs's voice was heavily borrowed from the voice of [[imdb:nm0289359|Redd Foxx]] (of [[imdb:tt0068128|''Sanford and Son'']] fame).
+
-
*Bubs says he used to be able to "fly" until he said "sbu," which cancelled his abilities, in the Strong Bad Email [[lunch special]]. However, Bubs says that since he gained so much weight, he could only hover a few inches off the ground, so it wasn't much of a loss. Strong Bad believes he's a big liar, and even Homestar Runner reckons he's faking it even with the evidence before his eyes.
+
-
*According to [[keep cool]], Bubs can't swim well, because he was wearing water wings when he was in the pool.
