He stands somewhere between [[Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Mad]] in height, and has large, elephant-like feet he calls "[[soolnds]]" (which, in the past, poachers have apparently offered thousands of dollars to obtain). His body is round and two shades of grey &mdash; a lighter grey from the waist up, a darker grey from the waist down. For some reason however, [[Coach Z]] thinks he is yellow.{{ref|1}} Strong Sad's body makes the sound of an inflated rubber ball when hit &mdash; and according to Strong Sad, it is hit often. In [[One Two, One Two]], it is hit in rhythm. His head is white and has an odd lump on the top, referred to as a "disturbing soft-serve flip" by Strong Bad in [[keep cool]] (a trait shared by [[Mr. Bland]]). It is unclear whether or not he has teeth. Strong Bad claims that he does not, but Strong Sad was seen brushing his teeth in [[narrator]] and [[concert]]. He is usually very calm and soft-spoken, although he has become [[Hyperactive Strong Sad|hyperactive]] on occasion (at least once under the influence of [[Coffee|caffeine]]), and he has also temporarily (albeit ''involuntarily'') become a boisterous [[radio|radio DJ]] once or twice. The phrase "covered bridges" seems to be able to put him in some type of trance, as seen in "[[Fall Float Parade]]". He also has some sort of reaction to sunlight overexposure, causing him to become uncharacteristically happy,{{ref|2}} even if he did not enjoy it (at one point, he actually asks to be shot). Despite his pale skin, he has apparently never been sunburnt, though he became [[Somber Vacation|moonburnt]] on at least one occasion.<br /> <br /> Once, Strong Sad's main defining characteristic was his chronic depression &mdash; his high levels of intelligence and creativity were almost always overshadowed by it &mdash; but lately he appears to have recovered and rarely expresses sadness. His many interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, and arts [[b/w]] crafts. He has outstanding penmanship, often writing poetry, which he then recites at his own "poetry slams". Strong Sad is seen using both his right and left hands to write and play the guitar, implying that he is [[Left Handedness|ambidextrous]]. He has been seen practicing [[Wikipedia:T'ai Chi Ch'&uuml;an|T'ai Chi]]. Strong Sad also enjoys playing [[board games]], and he seems to enjoy going to science-fiction and fantasy conventions, as seen in [[different town]] and [[TrogdorCon '97]]. He has an [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]], and he occasionally updates his [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]] from time to time. Strong Sad's highly philosophical view on life has creeped out other characters more than once, most notably Strong Bad and [[Marzipan]]. Strong Sad may have a crush on Marzipan; he has occasionally lied to Marzipan just so he could spend time with her, as in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]]. However, he might just be trying to make friends with anyone he can.<br /> <br /> [[Image:StrongSad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|"Look at that voluptuous belly."]]<br /> Strong Sad has a love-hate relationship with his brother Strong Bad. It appears that the two [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along quite well]] when they were younger, but nowadays, Strong Sad suffers almost constant [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|abuse]] from Strong Bad. In particular, Strong Bad has quite a list of [[Nicknames#Strong Sad|names]] he has used to insult Strong Sad. Strong Sad has also been the subject of numerous practical jokes by Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and [[The Cheat]], ranging from being drilled a new navel by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] to being used as a [[The Stunt Double|stunt double]] for the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] movies, to even having [[what I want|wildebeest pheromones]] washed into his laundry. In turn, Strong Sad holds a very low opinion of his brother and considers him to be a clueless weirdo. However, evidence from "The Secrets That I Keep" suggests that even though Strong Sad insults Strong Bad, he also looks up to him and misses the days when they got along. He seems to retain some degree of brotherly love toward Strong Bad: when the Tandy 400 exploded in the email [[gimmicks]], Strong Sad sincerely asked Strong Bad if he were all right, and wrote a letter wishing him well while Strong Bad was [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|incarcerated]]. However, he also stated that his brother's absence caused him to feel far happier with himself than usual, and that he turned Strong Bad's computer room into his tai chi space. He was also eager to help Strong Bad with his 150th email in [[Sbemail 150?!?]], and even managed to provide the background music for Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]] in [[alternate universe]].<br /> <br /> Strong Sad's troubled relationship with Strong Bad seems to have affected his social interaction habits with the rest of the community of [[Free Country, USA]]. He is generally reclusive and has only a few friends &mdash; his [[Strong Sad and Homsar's Relationship |best friend]] appears to be [[Homsar]], and he plays Jenga with The Cheat on Tuesdays. Early in the site's history, [[Homestar Runner]] even counted Strong Sad as a friend, and still shows some signs of friendship towards him. He is often overlooked and ignored when he [[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|has an idea]], and he is sometimes even [[Death#Strong Sad|believed to be dead]]. Despite all of this, he serves as a loyal officer in the [[Homestarmy]], temps at an unnamed computer company with Strong Bad and Homestar, and even has a [[Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]] held in his honor/insult each year.<br /> <br /> Strong Sad seems to be the most rational of the characters, and often seems to react perplexedly to the others' cartoonish antics. He can often be found patiently correcting another's apparent mistakes, such as in [[TrogdorCon '97]] and [[technology]], or being [[Happy T!|entirely uncomprehending]] of the nonsensical events around him. He was even featured as the sole "[[Bear Holding a Shark]] Skeptic" in [[myths & legends]].<br /> <br /> There may be more to him than meets the eye, however. Occasionally Strong Sad has done things that are not in line with his usually calm temperament: He [[rough copy|threw snowballs]] (saved in the freezer since he was eight) at Strong Bad, being [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Sad's Revenge|physically violent]], and he had a long bout of maniacal laughter when it was revealed that he was behind the whole [[DNA Evidence]] event. He also states in his blog that his resolution for the new year is to not feel so bad about wanting to hit Homestar so much, which is another example of his violent self. <br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[House of the Brothers Strong]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' [[Super NES]]<br /> *[[:Category:Strong Sad Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <br /> ===Sources===<br /> #{{note|1}} [[Fall Float Parade]]<br /> #{{note|2}} [[Happy Hallow-day]]<br /> <br /> ==Tunes==<br /> Strong Sad listens to the following musicians/music groups, according to his [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]]:<br /> <br /> *[[Wikipedia:Angelo Badalamenti|Angelo Badalamenti]]<br /> *[[Wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]]<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Will Oldham|Bonnie "Prince" Billy]]<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Godspeed You!

Also, some of his Halloween costumes suggests that he enjoys [[Wikipedia:Talking Heads|Talking Heads]] and [[Wikipedia:Devo|Devo]]. He is also known to listen to [[sloshy]], as seen in [[concert]].<br /> <br /> ==Lurking==<br /> <br /> Strong Sad has often been identified as a lurker, or has been associated with lurking.<br /> [[Image:Sbemail157.PNG|thumb|Deathly Pallor with "Lonely Lurker Attack"]]<br /> *Email [[garage sale]] &mdash; [[Strong Bad]] describes "The Lurker", using Strong Sad as an example, as being "the shady night-manager at Stuckey's type, who shades around all day but never buys anything." Strong Bad also tells Strong Sad, "At least <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Senor Cardgage]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> bought something, ''lurker''!"<br /> *[[Senorial Day]] &mdash; In an [[Easter egg]], Strong Sad says, "there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely spring night."<br /> *Email [[trading cards]] &mdash; One of [[Homestar Runner]]'s cards is [[The Deathly Pallor]], which can perform the "Lonely Lurker Attack."<br /> <br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidStrongSad.png|thumb|"I have two brothers that like to pummel me every hour on the hour."]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Poetry Slam!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Sad's Room]]}''<br /> <br /> ''{Open with a black screen.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' I don't wanna do a characters page! <br /> <br /> '''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, come on, you can do it!<br /> <br /> ''{The lens cap is removed, and Strong Sad appears as the camera focuses on him.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not really comfortable talking to a camera.<br /> <br /> '''MARZIPAN:''' ''{off-screen}'' Just pretend like you're talking to me, or a wall, or a tree, or any of the other stuff that you usually talk to.<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' Ohhhhhh! My name's Strong Sad and... I have two brothers that like to pummel me every hour, on the hour. I mostly sit in my room, and... listen to music, and write, ''{begins tracing his finger along the edge of the screen}'' and talk to walls or trees... ''{stops touching the edge of the screen}'' and wait to be pummeled... I guess I like board games more than most people. And by that I mean I like to play board games more than most people do. But by that I also mean I like board games more than I like most people. Like this one time, me and Hi-Ho Cherry-O! were playing The Game of Life, and I got a phone call from... Coach Z or somebody. And, I didn't answer it because I was having such a good time with playing this board game, against this other board game...<br /> <br /> '''MARZIPAN:''' ''{off-screen, losing patience}'' Okay, I think that's enough, Strong Sad.<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' And it got me to thinking, you know?<br /> <br /> '''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, okay, I'm turning it off now.<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Two lovers... collide...<br /> <br /> ''{The camera stops.}''<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> * [[Matt Chapman]] has said that Strong Sad is the most difficult character to voice due to how delicate he sounds. If Matt strains his voice too much before recording, he actually can't do Strong Sad at all (which led to Mike substituting for Strong Sad's one word in [[cheat talk]]).<br /> * Strong Sad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying he doesn't want to do a "character page", and by running his finger up and down the left border of the screen. The actual wall of his room is much further off to the side, as evidenced by the poster in the background.<br /> <br /> * Strong Sad used to have an AOL Instant Messenger screenname of "depressio222". A fan registered the name, and after many questions as to why the Brothers Chaps had not reserved it beforehand, Strong Sad's IM changed to "depressio111117".<br /> *Strong Sad was originally going to sound like [[Wikipedia:Michael Stipe|Michael Stipe]], but it was quickly rejected.<br /> * In [[concert]], Strong Bad says the band [[sloshy]] appeals to "people that went to college." This may indicate that Strong Sad had a tertiary education.<br /> * As seen in an Easter egg in [[pop-up]], Strong Sad's face has a striking resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Manicouagan Reservoir|Manicouagan Reservoir]], a lake formed by a meteor impact in Quebec.<br /> *Strong Sad only has three Ribs according to [[Fan Costumes 07]].<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> *[[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship]]<br /> *[[Strong Sad and Homsar's Relationship]]<br /> *[[Marzipan and Strong Sad's Relationship]]<br /> *[[Homestar Runner and Strong Sad's Relationship]]<br /> *[[Strong Sad and The Cheat's Relationship]]<br /> <br /> == Variations ==<br /> *[[Sickly Sam]] ([[Old-Timey]])<br /> *[[Hot Tub]] ([[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]])<br /> *[[The First Decemberween]] ([[A Decemberween Pageant|Decemberween]])<br /> *[[Lil' Strong Sad]]<br /> *[[Saddy Dumpington]]<br /> *[[The Deathly Pallor]]<br /> *[[Anonymous]]<br /> *[[Trading Cards|Prancibald]] ([[trading card]])<br /> *[[Other Character Variations#2046|2046 Strong Sad]] ([[your funeral]])<br /> *Twelve-Times-A-Day Man ([[fan club]])<br /> === [[Halloween Costumes]] ===<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]] in [[Homestarloween Party]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].<br /> *Vyvyan (from [[Wikipedia:The Young_Ones (TV_series)|The Young Ones]]) in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:David Byrne (musician)|David Byrne]] in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]] in [[Halloween Fairstival]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Devo|Devo Member]] in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Tony Clifton|Tony Clifton]] in [[Happy Hallow-day]].<br /> *The Fat Kid from [[Wikipedia:The Far Side|The Far Side]] in [[Jibblies 2]].<br /> <br /> ==Quotes of the Week==<br /> {{qotwstart}}<br /> *{{qotw|"Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said..."|[[Somber Vacation]] Easter egg|Mirror:ss_sweetness.mp3}}<br /> *{{qotw|"Yeah, I don't think Sloshy could arpeggiate a diminished 7th if their philosophy degrees depended on it."|[[concert]] outtake|Mirror:ss_philosophy.mp3|download}}<br /> *{{qotw|"I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV.

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

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.<br /> <br /> 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.)<br /> <br /> 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."<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In [[unnatural]], Bubs was mutated into [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] after being flushed down the toilet. Strong Sad cured this with a bowl of kashi.<br /> [[Image:Bubs 3D variation.PNG|thumb|left|115px|Legitimate 3D business.]]<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> *'''Debut:''' [[Where My Hat Is At?]]<br /> *[[:Category:Bubs Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidBubs.png|thumb|"We're always awesome!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title:''' Bargain Basement Prices!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' Bubs' Concession Stand}''<br /> <br /> '''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples!

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.<br /> *According to [[keep cool]], Bubs isn't a very strong swimmer because he was wearing water wings when he was in the pool.<br /> *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.<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> :''Main article: [[Character Relationships]]''<br /> *[[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship]]<br /> *[[Strong Bad and Bubs' Relationship]]<br /> <br /> == Variations ==<br /> *[[Old-Timey Bubs]] ([[Old-Timey]])<br /> *[[The Thnikkaman]]<br /> *[[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] ([[Puppet Stuff]])<br /> *[[Unnamed Bad Guy]] (From Dangeresque II: This time it's not Dangeresque I in [[stunt double]])<br /> *[[Free_Petry_Dish,_USA_Variation#Bubsamecium|Bubsamecium]] ([[highschool]])<br /> *[[Zubs and Coach B|Zubs or Coach B]]<br /> *[[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] ([[unnatural]])<br /> *[[Strong Badman Characters#Dry Ragamuffin|Dry Ragamuffin]]<br /> *[[Original Bubs]] ([[original]])<br /> *[[Onion Bubs]] <br /> <br /> === [[Halloween Costumes]] ===<br /> *Rerun (from [[Wikipedia:What's Happening!!|What's Happening!!]]) in [[Homestarloween Party]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Mars Blackmon|Mars Blackmon]] (from [[Wikipedia:She's Gotta Have It|She's Gotta Have It]]) in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Captain Lou Albano|Captain Lou Albano]] in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Mel Sharples|Mel]] (from [[Wikipedia:Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore|Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]) in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].<br /> *One of The Three Most Important People in the World (from [[Wikipedia:Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure|Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure]]) in [[Halloween Fairstival]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]] in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].<br /> *Coach McGuirk (from [[Wikipedia:Home Movies (TV series)|Home Movies]]) in [[Happy Hallow-day]].<br /> *Ross from [[Wikipedia:You Can't Do That On Television|You Can't Do That On Television]] in [[Jibblies 2]].<br /> <br /> ==Quotes of the Week==<br /> {{qotwstart}}<br /> *{{qotw|"Oh you know him mo - ooaaaaAAHH Everybody knows how to talk like Bubs!"|Quote of the Week exclusive|Mirror:bubs_talklikebubs.mp3}}<br /> *{{qotw|"Yes, 'shaped', in quotes, like there is a bite taken out of it.

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."<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In [[unnatural]], Bubs was mutated into [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] after being flushed down the toilet. Strong Sad cured this with a bowl of kashi.<br /> [[Image:Bubs 3D variation.PNG|thumb|left|115px|Legitimate 3D business.]]<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> *'''Debut:''' [[Where My Hat Is At?]]<br /> *[[:Category:Bubs Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidBubs.png|thumb|"We're always awesome!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title:''' Bargain Basement Prices!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' Bubs' Concession Stand}''<br /> <br /> '''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples!

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.<br /> *According to [[keep cool]], Bubs isn't a very strong swimmer because he was wearing water wings when he was in the pool.<br /> *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.<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> :''Main article: [[Character Relationships]]''<br /> *[[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship]]<br /> *[[Strong Bad and Bubs' Relationship]]<br /> <br /> == Variations ==<br /> *[[Old-Timey Bubs]] ([[Old-Timey]])<br /> *[[The Thnikkaman]]<br /> *[[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] ([[Puppet Stuff]])<br /> *[[Unnamed Bad Guy]] (From Dangeresque II: This time it's not Dangeresque I in [[stunt double]])<br /> *[[Free_Petry_Dish,_USA_Variation#Bubsamecium|Bubsamecium]] ([[highschool]])<br /> *[[Zubs and Coach B|Zubs or Coach B]]<br /> *[[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] ([[unnatural]])<br /> *[[Strong Badman Characters#Dry Ragamuffin|Dry Ragamuffin]]<br /> *[[Original Bubs]] ([[original]])<br /> *[[Onion Bubs]] <br /> <br /> === [[Halloween Costumes]] ===<br /> *Rerun (from [[Wikipedia:What's Happening!!|What's Happening!!]]) in [[Homestarloween Party]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Mars Blackmon|Mars Blackmon]] (from [[Wikipedia:She's Gotta Have It|She's Gotta Have It]]) in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Captain Lou Albano|Captain Lou Albano]] in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Mel Sharples|Mel]] (from [[Wikipedia:Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore|Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]) in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].<br /> *One of The Three Most Important People in the World (from [[Wikipedia:Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure|Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure]]) in [[Halloween Fairstival]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]] in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].<br /> *Coach McGuirk (from [[Wikipedia:Home Movies (TV series)|Home Movies]]) in [[Happy Hallow-day]].<br /> *Ross from [[Wikipedia:You Can't Do That On Television|You Can't Do That On Television]] in [[Jibblies 2]].<br /> <br /> ==Quotes of the Week==<br /> {{qotwstart}}<br /> *{{qotw|"Oh you know him mo - ooaaaaAAHH Everybody knows how to talk like Bubs!"|Quote of the Week exclusive|Mirror:bubs_talklikebubs.mp3}}<br /> *{{qotw|"Yes, 'shaped', in quotes, like there is a bite taken out of it.

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

Or plain old Coach is fine, seein' as I'm the only one around, so, probably no one else would answer to that. You say "Hey Coach!", and I'd say "Yeah?" or..."That's me!" or..."Hoo-hah!" ''{waves his arms in the air}'' Any one of those. There's rumors flyin' around that I sleep in one of these lockers ''{gestures to the lockers behind him}'', but uh, that's just not true.

We're all out of tape.<br /> <br /> ==Coach Z's Accent==<br /> The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.<br /> <br /> ===Sounds Affected===<br /> The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (i.e. The Cheat) and the short o (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb").<br /> <br /> ===List of mispronounced words===<br /> {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width=100% style="border-collapse:collapse;"<br /> |- bgcolor=#eeeeee<br /> !

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|right|120px|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|right|150px|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble.[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|right|115px|"I'm pretending I'm the craptain of the foortball torm!"]] He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|left|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]] He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> | align=center | [[Image:cooljacket.png|150px]]<br><small>"One two one two"</small><br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Midwest hip hop|Midwest hip hop]]<br>[[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble.[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|right|115px|I'm pretending I'm the craptain of the foortball torm!]] He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|left|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]] He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> | align=center | [[Image:cooljacket.png|150px]]<br><small>"One two one two"</small><br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Midwest hip hop|Midwest hip hop]]<br>[[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|left|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]] He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> | align=center | [[Image:cooljacket.png|150px]]<br><small>"One two one two"</small><br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Midwest hip hop|Midwest hip hop]]<br>[[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> <br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> | align=center | [[Image:cooljacket.png|150px]]<br><small>"One two one two"</small><br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Midwest hip hop|Midwest hip hop]]<br>[[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> | align=center | [[Image:cooljacket.png|180px]]<br><small>"One two one two"</small><br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Midwest hip hop|Midwest hip hop]]<br>[[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> | align=center | [[Image:cooljacket.png]]<br><small>"One two one two"</small><br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Midwest hip hop|Midwest hip hop]]<br>[[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Midwest hip hop|Midwest hip hop]]<br>[[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Coach Z, R-A-P, accidently featuring Peacey P"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Coach Z, R-A-P, accidently featuring Peacey P"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Coach Z is a godawful rapper, but no one tells him that.<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Coach Z, R-A-P, accidently featuring Peacey P"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Coach Z, R-A-P, accidently featuring Peacey P"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These peoples try to fade me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rampage|I'm on a Rampage]] (2005)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Coach Z, R-A-P, accidently featuring Peacey P"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]] (2002)<br>[[New Boots|Hip-hop dance]] (2004)<br>[[Rampage|I'm on a Rampage]] (2005)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Coach Z, R-A-P, accidently featuring Peacey P"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Coach Z, R-A-P, accidently featuring Peacey P"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || <br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Y'all biscuitheads!"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Old school hip hop|Old school rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || Deliberance (2007) (album)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br>[[Trudgemank]] (2008)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=300 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"<br /> |+<big><big>'''Coach Z'''</big></big><br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 |<br /> {| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0"<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:Rapsong screen.png|190px]]<br><small>"Y'all biscuitheads!"</small><br /> |}<br /> |-<br /> | colspan=2 align=center |<br /> |-<br /> | '''Genre''' || [[Wikipedia:Hip hop|Hip-hop]]/[[Wikipedia:Rapping|Rap]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Discography''' || Deliberance (2007) (album)<br>[[Rap Song]] (2007)<br>[[Trudgemank]] (2008)<br /> |}<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|140px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|130px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?

He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]<br /> As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]<br /> Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:CoachZ3D.png|170px|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]<br /> Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).<br /> <br /> Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. <br /> <br /> Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Coach Z Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <gallery>Image:coachzs Z.png|Coach Z's emblem<br /> Image:oldcoach.PNG|Youthful days<br /> Image:Coach Z- no hat.PNG|Hatless<br /> Image:ZsNewMedallion.png|His emblem, squished/skewed/turned all around (from [[redesign]])</gallery><br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> [[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on?
