"Stave it off, one two three and now you can count to three. Stave it off, one two three and now you can count to three. Sta—"

The Stave It Off Guy (or Stave for short) is the folk guitarist who first appeared in for kids, where he sang "Stave It Off: 123". He later appeared in Crystal Fortress, where he attempted to convince Strong Bad to "come down from [his] crystal fortress", only to have Strong Bad fight back with a heavy metal song about french fries. His appearance seems to be based on folk singer James Taylor as seen on Sesame Street, while his singing voice in Crystal Fortress resembles Ringo Starr's.

According to Strong Bad, he is a "stupid hippie", and "doesn't get french fries".

Davey
