Coach Z

Coach Z ('zee', not 'zed') is a fictional character in the Homestar Runner series of animated cartoons. As his name implies, he is the coach of the athletic team Homestar Runner and friends play on. Coach Z is said to be from a foreign country, and his primary gag is his thick and occasionally incomprehensible accent. This accent causes various mutations in common English, for example, the word "job" comes across as "jorb", "jaerb", or even "joregbh". He claims to have been a hip-hop star in his home country and is a fan of the Wu-Tang Clan. His favorite piece of advice, which he suggests to Homestar at various points, is "It's like a great sports play. You can't just rush into the score zone." This little gem seems to apply to any type of situation - even the ones in which it makes absolutely no sense. The details of the sport he coaches remain unclear. While played on an American football field, it also involves basketball hoops and a baseball being kicked around. He also seems to have no knowledge of sports, whatsoever, in one of Strong Bad's emails he is seen with a basketball, saying, "What is this thing? A bounce thing?" The Coach is easily the most disturbed character in the series. He has left a message on Marzipan's answering machine in which he states that he's confused his fantasies and reality, and it has also been hinted that he is stalking her. He is the only character to have appeared on screen drunk, having passed out from drinking Listerine. He lives in the locker room, and spent one Decemberween eating a TV dinner while pretending to talk to his parents on a non-functional telephone. Coach Z has had two "Powered by The Cheat" music videos, "Hip Hop Dance" and "These peoples try to fade me". The latter appears on the Strong Bad Sings CD.
