The Butch

The Butch is a non-playable character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.
==Character description==
The Butch is the cartoon caricature of Nickelodeon cartoonist Elmer "Butch" Hartman. This Butch is very exaggerated with his ego and violence against foes who come and challenge him.
==In Smash Bros. Lawl Beatdown==
The Butch appears as a bonus Boss when you select the "Topple the Butch" bonus game in Classic Mode. Butch takes over a section of the Classic Cavern, blocking the path forward. He taunts the opponent, not thinking that they can get past him or knock him down. When defeated, he cartoonishly falls from his platform.
=== Role in the Beatdown Lore ===
The Butch appeared as a prisoner in The D Kess Movie: Escape to Lawlcatraz. After Kess becomes Kesslossus, The Butch throws a box at him and taunts him, only to be immediately grabbed and absorbed into his body. His fate afterwards is unknown.
===Boss Attacks===
Butch stays on top of his platform during the entire battle. If you try to hit Butch directly, he will take no damage as he protect himself with a bubble. To defeat Butch, the center platform he's standing on must be attacked. Every attack is telegraphed by Butch taunting the opponent and raising his wand, poofing in an attack.
*Rip Studwell
**Dr. Rip Studwell poofs in, raises his golf club, and swings at the opponent, which deals 20% on hit. He does this up to three or four times and every time he poofs next to the opponent. By taking enough damage, he can be knocked out early.
*The Box Ghost
**The Box Ghost lifts up his arms and commands some boxes to be thrown at the opponent, dealing 15% per box. They travel from the left side of the stage to the right. When he finishes, he shouts "BEWARE!" and flies off.
*Kitty Katswell
**Kitty enters by shooting her grappling hook into the ceiling, then shooting up it. She then swings across the stage twice, directly in front of the platform. Her swipes deal 15% damage on hit.
*Noog Tube
**A tube labeled The Noog Tube emerges from the ceiling and fires Noogs onto the stage. Each Noog deals 10% but they can launch the opponent into each other. There are two patterns - one that covers the left side of the stage then returns to the center, and one that covers the right and does the same..
*Fairly Odd Parents Style
**Butch poofs in a giant pencil that swipes forward. While it only attacks once, when hit the opponent is dealt 23% and is stunned as they turn into a Butch drawing. This leaves them open to other attacks.
==Trivia==
*Each Butch drawing was done by ShadBad (unfortunately).
*According to the Behind-the-Scenes document released after Edd's Classic Mode, the idea of Topple the Butch came from various controversies surrounding Butch Hartman. The game's name came from an infamous rant Hartman went on during a livestream, during which Butch said “…if you’re gonna try to knock me down or make me fail…”
**Said rant is also featured throughout the fight as dialogue from The Butch.
