Bud Dink is Doug Funnie's next-door neighbor and confidant of sorts. He debuted in "Doug Bags a Neematoad".


Background[]

Bud Dink is a middle-aged man who’s a friend to Doug, often talking with him about any subject that may be on his, or Doug's, mind. Bud, or Mr. Dink as he's better known, enjoys investing in expensive new inventions and gadgets for use in his leisure time. Bud is married to his long-suffering wife, Tippingdale Dink, more commonly referred to as Tippi. The two met in high school. They went to senior prom together, which resulted in a trip to the ER for Tippi. He occasionally serves as the leader of the Bluff Scouts in a few episodes. As well as a notable lisp.

Personality[]

An oddball through and through, Mr Dink is often the first to come up with either outlandish creations or bad jokes, accompanied by his terrible spelling. Despite all this, he is very well-meaning and willing to help others, as can be seen when he helps to set up a dance party. He is also very devoted to his wife, Tippi, and clearly tries hard to be a good husband - even going so far as to cut a hedge in her image - but seemingly to no avail.

In spite of his comic personality, Mr Dink is also a surprisingly responsible adult, since he presents the Bluff Scouts with useful information and survival skills when he is in charge of them.

Grill[]

Mr. Dink's custom grill, produced with a likeness of himself adorning it, became the victim of a flyball. Doug was the one responsible for it. Doug was hesitant to own up to this, imagining Mr. Dink would turn into a green werewolf. Rather than confess; Doug tried to make enough money to buy a new one. Eventually, Doug told Mr. Dink that did broke his grill, but Dink wasn't mad at him, figuring Doug has learned his lesson with all the work he did to make amends. Instead he gave Doug & Skeeter a job at an evening cookout.

Quotes[]

  • Hello Douglath!
  • Very expensive!
  • YOU BROKE MY GRILL?
  • Whatever!
  • Huh HA!

Trivia[]

  • The Dink in Mr. Dink's name stands for Double Income No Kids, which would explain his ability to produce such "very expensive" purchases.
  • It’s revealed in "Doug's Dental Disaster" that Mr. Dink has a set of dentures, which he's had for almost 12 years. He attributes this to the fact he used to drink a lot of chocolate shakes.
  • In one episode he reveals he was the guy in the hamburger costume at the Honker Burger.
  • In episode “Doug's Treasure Hunt”, it is inferred that the ancestors of Mr. Dink founded Buffington. When Mr. Dink is sitting adjacent to the skeleton, there are many similarities, especially the teeth.
