Eustace Bagge

Eustace Bagge, also known as Stupid Boy, Stupid One and The Farmer, is one of the main characters from the Courage the Cowardly Dog series.
== Charactah Account ==
A self-proclaimed farmer who tends to be grumpy and isn't really a nice guy to anyone. He thinks he can fix anything and grow anything, but this is never the case. He also has an insatiable greed for money. Later in the series we learn that he didn't have that great of a childhood with a non-loving mom and an always better big brother, and his sad backstory is implied to be the reason behind his unpleasant attitude.
Eustace is a stubborn old man who is usually bossy and annoying to people around him. Eustace has an unquenchable thirst for monetary gain. In almost every episode, he is seen sitting in his favorite red chair while reading a copy of the Nowhere newspaper and possibly watching his television which he deems precious to him. He has an adamant disliking for Courage and frequently calls him a '"stupid dog", taking great pleasure in scaring and messing with him whenever possible, which largely stems out of jealousy that Muriel constantly pampers and dotes on Courage; however, it is not uncommon for Eustace to scare or mess with Courage just for fun or to get Courage to leave him alone.

== Trivia ==
* Eustace is one of three characters (the others being Courage and Muriel) to appear in nearly every episode.
** He is also one of seven characters (the others being Courage, Muriel, Shirley, Dr. Vindaloo, the Computer, and Katz) to appear in every season.
** Eustace appears in every episode of the series except "Cajun Granny Stew".
* Eustace is only seen without his glasses in "The Chicken from Outer Space", "The Curse of Shirley", and "Le Quack Balloon". But most of the time, he never takes them off even when sleeping or taking a bath, like Muriel.
* Eustace has an old farm truck loosely based on a late 1920s Ford Model AA. He considers it his prized possession and the only thing he may truly, unconditionally care about.
* Although Eustace is referred to as "the farmer" by many people in the show (Courage himself never calls him by his actual name, with a couple of exceptions being one scene in "The Gods Must Be Goosey" and "The Great Fusilli"), he is never shown performing any actual farm work.
* Surprisingly, Eustace actually called Courage by his name instead of the usual "stupid dog" in The "The Hunchback of Nowhere", "Ball of Revenge", and the Cartoon Network 20th Anniversary Party bumper.
* Despite Eustace's mistreatment of him, Courage was shown to be worried about Eustace in "The Mask", when he thought that Kitty was planning to eat Muriel and Eustace.
* His personality was based on John R. Dilworth's early incorrigible attitude.
* It's revealed in "Bad Hair Day" that the reason he angrily calls Courage "stupid dog" is because of his mother angrily calling him "stupid boy".
* Although Eustace is bald in old age and acted the same way since childhood, he had a small amount of brown hair in his younger adulthood, briefly seen in a flashback in "Farmer-Hunter, Farmer-Hunted".
* Eustace was unvoiced in the pilot episode "The Chicken from Outer Space", and was voiced in the first 33 episodes by Lionel Wilson. Wilson retired due to illness during the show's production, with the role being picked up by Arthur Anderson afterwards up to the show's end. Anderson was replaced by Wallace Shawn for the CG pilot "The Fog of Courage".
** During Anderson's time in the role, many of Eustace's catchphrases that were originally voiced by Wilson were reused as stock audio. Such phrases include "Stupid Dog!" , "What's, huh?", and his laughs.
* He and Mr. Nasty have the same model.
* He is also named Pooh-bah by Professor Frith and Uncle Twinkletoes by Basil in "Courage Meets the Mummy" and "Family Business".
* A running theme throughout the series (more so in earlier episodes), is that every time Eustace scares Courage, Muriel hits him on the head with something such as a rolling pin, frying pan, or whatever happens to be nearby, such as her purse. After getting hit on the head, Eustace would ask," Ow! What'd I do?"
* As evidenced in "The Curse of Shirley", Eustace appears to despise his birthday, possibly because it only serves as a reminder of his miserable life.
* Usually when a villain calls Courage "Stupid dog", he will remark happily "That's what I tell him all the time! Stupid dog!"
* Eustace saying "OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!" when he scares Courage with his mask is likely based on Eddie Valiant saying "OOGA BOOGA!" to the gorilla in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
