BubsBubs is a character in the Homestar Runner series of animated cartoons. The businessman of the series, Bubs runs the concession stand on the side of the sports field, and also serves as a handyman. He enjoys dance music and goes to night school at Disco Tech. Bubs loves muscle cars and once built a hot rod out of a pumpkin. He was once able to fly, but it became useless after he gained a significant amount of weight, and lost the ability entirely by saying "Sbu". Bubs's voice was inspired both by actor Redd Foxx and an actual concession stand owner The Brothers Chaps knew. Bubs and Coach Z hang out together when they aren't working, but this is implied rather than explicitly shown. When Coach Z left a drunk message on Marzipan's answering machine, Bubs can be heard in the background, apparently also drunk. It has also been hinted that he is a divorcee, that he has money problems and is on the run from at least one collection agency. Bubs also has an alter-ego called the "Thnikkaman", so far only seen a few times. The Thnikkaman consists of Bubs wearing sunglasses and a sign with "TH" written on it taped to his chest. He is accompanied by voices calling "Here comes the Thnikkaman!" on his arrival and "There goes the Thnikkaman!" on his departure. His only notable actions is that he says "Shut up, kid!" and "Yeah." He is regarded by the other characters as "cool", but for no apparent reason: his coolness is self-evident to them. It also appears that they do not realise that the Thnikkaman is Bubs. Bubs also does the voicework for the Wheelchair in the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes sub-cartoons. Alternate versions 1936 Bubs appears in 1936 as a blind one-legged operator of the parsnip depot. The Thnikkaman When Bubs dons dark sunglasses and tapes a sheet of paper reading "TH" to his chest, he becomes the Thnikkaman. The Thnikkaman apparently possesses awesome and completely undefined powers, though one observed purpose is distraction, as he prevented Strong Bad from completing a monument of himself.
