Biography
Bubs (full name: Bubs Concession Stand, as he claims in Senorial Day) is the all around fix-it man. Running his own concession stand, Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell almost anything. 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 having items marked EXHIBIT A & EXHIBIT B in Bug In Mouth Disease. He also 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 his spare time he has boring conversations with Coach Z and reads back issues of Motor Trend magazine.

{Page Title: Bargain Basement Prices!!} {Place: Bubs' Concession Stand}
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' voice was heavily borrowed from the voice of Redd Foxx (of 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.
