I get a kick out of the way LB never got anybody's name right. I noticed that he only butchered their names to their face. Usually, when he talked about Tweeg when he wasn't there, he would always call him Tweeg. It was only when he was with him that he called him the wrong name. I think he had an obsession with doing that, as he did it a lot to Teddy. Oh, and I believe it was the same way on the tapes, although they didn't feature him as much there.

In the tv series, LB and Tweeg have a pretty antagonistic relationship, as in, LB says something to antagonize Tweeg. Lol. He mostly got Tweeg's name wrong just to annoy his boss. I don't recall any time he butchered Teddy's name, though in "Wizard Week" he called Gimmick "Limmerick" which just made Gimmick angry.

I thought I remembered LB calling Teddy by the wrong name, but maybe it was Tweeg that did it. I just think it's hillarious that LB calls Tweeg by the right name when he's not with him, but then always butchers it to his face. I always thought LB liked Tweeg. To me their relationship seemss to be one of those, "I pick on people I like" situations. Or is it just me that picks on my close friends?

Yes, Tweeg mangles Teddy's name a couple of times in the show. Oh no, I do it too. Especially to my best friend. I guess you could say that LB and Tweeg are the same way. Though, they are villains (sort of), so I don't exactly know if they (mainly Tweeg) could like anybody.

I think LB is really a good guy deep down, but he wants people to think he's bad. I don't really see too many good qualities in Tweeg. I just think he's kind of an idiot. I did enjoy when he was going surfing with his dad and I thought he was going to turn into a good guy after all, but then he found that gold and we all know what happened there.

LB was trolling long before anyone knew what trolling was.

Love your comment, Kayla  LB just has a great sense of comic timing, and is one of the few cases (the others being Ickley Bognostraclum and Burl, Teddy's dad) where the character added a completely new dimension to the story in the TV show. Although LB was in the Adventure Series and was well presented there, he was more 3 dimensional in the TV series, and Robert Bockstael got his voice just right. Of course the TV show had more to work with, and had Worlds of Wonder escaped the 80's stock market crash, we would have gotten to see more of that in the Adventure Series. |

LB: I'm the B to the O-U-N-D-E-R, and there ain't no other Bounder troll it down like me. I'm Bounderlicious!* Good Lord, I'll probably go to hell for that. But I would pay to hear Mr. Bockstael say that. LB's one of my favorite characters, and his humor played a big role in that. (* for reference, see here and here) |
