Original Bubs

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Original Bubs, according to Strong Bad, is Bubs as portrayed by his original actor. He bears only a passing resemblance to the actual Bubs, and his design is based on a preliminary drawing of Bubs as seen in the Sketchbook from the Museum.

Strong Bad tells his tale in original, saying that he quit after The King of Town ate the mayo off of his egg salad. The other characters initially pretended he was still there by repeating what he allegedly said and indicating that he was behind large boxes. Eventually, he was replaced by "guest Bubs" and finally by the actual Bubs.

Bubs denies this story and violently threatens Strong Bad to recant it. Marzipan also indicates, in an Easter egg, that Strong Bad made him up.

Like certain other characters, most notably The Cheat, the "Original" in Original Bubs' name is an integral part of his name.
