== Biography ==
'''Bubs''' (full name: '''Bubs Concession Stand''', as he claims in [[Senorial Day]]) is the all around fix-it man.   He has a round blue head, [[mismatched eyes]] (his right eye is white with a blue iris while his left is simply a black dot), and a permanent toothy smile that moves when he talks.  His upper body is orange, and according to Strong Bad, Bubs has flipper arms.   He has a green stripe around his middle which, according to Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, is a belt, and his lower half is colored dark gray.

Running [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his own concession stand]], Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell [[Bubs' Concession Stand#Known Items Sold|almost anything]], and has developed a habit for selling ridiculous items at a humorously high price. Bubs is also on the run from at least one collection agency, though at the same time he represents at least one collection agency, as seen in [[other days]]. He also has been seen operating the [[Baloney Sammich Truck]], which he drove down to the beach in [[Weclome Back]]. However, he only sold "exactly zero baloney sandwiches" during his "best year ever." Bubs resells Internet access, although he rips off his sole subscriber, [[Strong Bad]], in 99 different ways (though none of them are "throttling down", as Strong Bad claims). 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 trying to dispose of items marked EXHIBIT A and EXHIBIT B (presumably a human pancreas which he tried to sell to [[Homestar Runner]]) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]]. In his spare time he reads back issues of Motor Trend magazine, and also hangs out and talks with [[Coach Z]]. Apparently, Coach Z got on Bubs' bad side near Thanksgiving in 2005, and to get even, Bubs made a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the [[Fall Float Parade]]. (Coach Z retaliated by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] stole his concession stand and marched with it in the parade.) In [[narrator]] (February 2006), it was shown that they had patched things up and were once again having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. Bubs also apparently has licenses to do a lot of different things, such as being a Bail Bondsman, Paranormal Investigator, Normal Investigator (not at all associated with "Bubs: Paranormal Investigator"), and "Dr." Bubs (TV/VCR repair). As shown in [[licensed]], Bubs apparently has an inverted and twisted understanding of what quality of product to sell where, due to the fact that he sells apparently "consumer-safe" products on the black market, and hazardous products at the concession stand. (The fact that Bubs sells "consumer-safe" products on the black market isn't entirely true, as the Cheat had an allergy to some ferret [[Ointment and Old Person Rub|ointment]] that Bubs was selling, and the piñatas contained broken glass which injured Homestar.)

Bubs [[Dancin' Bubs|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 Strong Bad's [[record book]], he was solely declared "Cutest couple."

Bubs's alter-ego is the [[The Thnikkaman|Thnikkaman]]. During Decemberween, he also turns into the Decemberween Thnikkaman. No one but Homestar seems to suspect any relationship with Bubs and the Thnikkaman.

In [[unnatural]], Bubs was mutated into [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] after being flushed down the toilet. Strong Sad cured this with a bowl of kashi.

In [[original]], Strong Bad claimed that there was another Bubs, known as [[Original Bubs]], who had great eyesight and could always see Homestar "from over there". Bubs got angry and claimed that he was the "100% All Original Bubs". He claimed, "If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!" Marzipan claims that there was no such character, but Homestar claims to miss him.

According to a discussion by [[The Deleteheads]] in [[fan club]], Bubs has apparently been married at least twice, since Strong Sad mentions his first wife.

''{'''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. ''{starts doing the wave}'' 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 ==
[[Image:Bubs Evolution - Bendy Arms.PNG|thumb|Bubs now has bendy arms!]]
* 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's voice was heavily borrowed from the voice of [[imdb:nm0289359|Redd Foxx]] (of [[imdb:tt0068128|''Sanford and Son'']] fame).
*Bubs says he used to be able to "fly" until he said "sbu," which canceled 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 reckons he's faking it even with the evidence before his eyes.
*According to [[keep cool]], Bubs isn't a very strong swimmer because he was wearing water wings when he was in the pool.
*Also, as seen in [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] and [[lunch special]], Bubs talks about how he gained weight, implying that at some point in his life, he was skinnier.
