The Coach Z and the KOT are my fave characters of all time! Who's with me?

P.S. Can anyone make me an avatar? I want one of Baby Coach Z!

I agree completley, but I believe this MAY have been already posted, I'm not sure though.

And if you check out the Arts & Crafts board, there's a place that you can request avatars.

Don't get me wrong, the guy's a great character, the him being really poor and not being a very good coach at all ar hillarious. But the mispronunciation is getting tiresome.

Hey,..uhh...I have the normal Coach Z Baby Avatar, but someone can probabaly whip you mup a sideways...or upsidedown...or backwards one if you want.

AS for the question at hand:

Coach Z: Not underused.
KOT: Yeah.

KoT maybe, but the Coach has enough appearances.

Don't forget Pom-Pom [/whiny]

Pfft, thats crazy talk!!!

I don't like the KOT much, but even I have to admit he's a very underused character. Though I'm not sure how much more he could realistically be developed beyond "I'm an unpopular fat old man that eats anything!"

Coach Z's supposed underusage is a little more complicated in my mind. In the context of H*R, I think he's used about right, but I also think of all the non-SB characters, there's more potential for a spinoff cartoon focusing more on him than anyone else. The thing is, though, I think that particular cartoon would probably be quite a bit more adult-oriented than H*R is now. Especially since there are quite a few umm... disturbing issues surrounding the Coach.

The KOT is a bit underused, but not the Coach Z. The most underused character is Pom Pom. He is like Homestar's side kick, but doesn't appear in much anymore.

Too much Coach Z?! Such a thing cannot exist in this universe!

...but I'm gonna have to agree that Pom Pom is by far the most underused. Poor dude. At least he gets enough hugs from the ladies.

I really think the KoT and Pom Pom are the most underused characters. I'd love to see a 'toon starring either of them.

The lack of KoT was recently discussed in this thread:

Coach Z gets his share of airtime, but KoT and Pom Pom? Totally underused. Especially Pom Pom. Now THERE'S a cool guy if there ever was one.

That would be a pretty sweet toon. The thing is that both Pom-Pom and the KOT have few characteristics to them. The KOT is a fat, old gluton while Pom-Pom is a ladies man, who can't speak English.

...I don't like your tone there.

Coach Z is used enough, and the King of Town is used whenever it would be funny. If it were up to me, I'd use the KoT the same amount and Coach Z maybe just a tiny bit less.

The KoT had his own toon, waaaaaay back in the day, but it centered mostly around Homestar and PomPom--the KoT was barely in it.
It would be awesome to see more of the KoT, but he would need some more character development first. He's funny, but at the same time he's a one-trick pony. He doesn't have the strength to be the central focus of a toon. As the years go by, this might change--a lot can happen in that time. At this point, it's difficult to say.

Coach Z really isn't underutilized. His appearances come up at comfortable intervals. After Strong Bad (and maybe Homestar), he is probably the most developed character that TBC have. He's come a long way from the early years and shows little sign of stopping. The fangirl in me would LOVE to see a Coach Z spin-off, or at least a regular mini-featurette, but I'm not going to get my hopes up and jinx it.

I agree. KOT and Coach Z are hilarious. And they have gave us so many quotes, like the famous. . . "Jeaaaaaaaaaaaaarb!'

Yeah, Coach Z is hilarious, and the King of Town has made a lot of quotes. We don't really know too much about the KoT, either.

Yeah. Pom Pom is awesome. Aside from the fact that he's a total smooth operator and he's basically a big balloon, and he talks in bubbles, he's just awesome in the way that he... well, he's just awesome! I love the way he totally pwned SB in that one... uh... e-mail. You know the one. The name deserts me at the moment.

There, now don't you feel better?

and are good characters and i agree they are good characters and are underused, Coach Z should be used more in SB_Email.exe's and the KOT should be more than a charcter from secrets. the same goes with Pompom, underused.

No such thing.
Anyway, not sure about underused, but he could still use more appearences.
