== Biography ==

Bubs is the all around fix it man. Running [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his own concession stand]], Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell anything, including [[local news|waiting in line]], [[personal favorites|letters of his own sign]], [[no loafing|half-eaten drumsticks]], even [[pom pom|beatings]]. He also sold both of Strong Bad's broken computers (the King of Town now owns the [[Tandy 400]] and Homestar bought the [[Compy 386]], because he wasn't "gonna find a better deal".)  It's likely that not all of his dealings are exactly legal, considering his reaction to a practical joke from Strong Bad in [[lackey]]. He also loves to dance.

[[The Brothers Chaps]] joked that they had to "kill off" Bubs, just like [[Homeschool Winner]], in the [[Sample of Style]] video on the [[strongbad email.exe|DVD]].
