Cowdoy

Wow, it's a Cowdoy!

"*I'm a Cowdoy!*"
―Cowdoy
   **Cowdoy** was a recurring character played by Broden Kelly.

He was a small misshapen cattle rancher and the fastest gunslinger in the Wets. He constantly eluded the Sheriff after killing the man's wife and daughter 20 years ago. He seemed to dislike other cowboys and attacked any he saw. Cowdoy was known to enjoy Fanta, liquorice whips, prunes, hamburgers and baked beans. He occasionally wielded two revolvers and a lasso. If Cowdoy didn't have his revolvers with him, he made codgers 'stick em up' with his fingers. He dressed like Woody from Toy Story, owned a horsey, and disliked Disneyland. He sold butter, which he called Cowdoy Butter. He watched Foxtel.

## Biography

### Murder of Sheriff's wife

20 years ago, Cowdoy shot and killed the Sheriff's wife Macy, thinking she was Osama Bin Laden despite her wearing a pink petticoat. He also killed the Sheriff's daughter, though the reason for this is unknown. (*Podcast Ep 156 - Welcome To The Old West*)

### Trick-or-treating

At Halloween, Cowdoy arrived at the door to the boys' place and threatened Mark and Zach with his pistols. He taught them to lasso by taking their pants off, and they said he smelled like dirt, foreskins, cum, balls and that condom Zach found out the front of his primary school. This was because earlier that day, Cowdoy had gone down the foreskinnery, cummery, ballery and condommery. He scored a can of Fanta from the boys before he left. (*Haven't You Done Well 8: Halloween*)

### Encounter with Sheriff and Iran invasion

In 2019, the Sheriff and Deputy Mark found Cowdoy in the Old West. He promptly shot them both, though they did not die. They argued about Cowdoy murdering the Sheriff's wife and daughter, but then Cowdoy offered to lasso with them and sang his lasso song which convinced the Sheriff to make Cowdoy his deputy. Deputy Mark did not accept this, so Cowdoy talked to Deputy Mark on the prairie. The Sheriff interrupted the conversation and was criticised for this, forcing him to step down and promote Cowdoy to sheriff instead. The Sheriff said that the people up North in San Francisco were looking for someone to run for the President of the United States of America, and had chosen Cowdoy. Despite not being elected yet, he was asked whether to begin a civil war after the South seceded. Cowdoy said he wanted to brand some cattle instead. He then chose to invade Iran on the basis that they had nuclear weapons, so they set off on their horses. However, they accidentally went to Disneyland instead. They went to Universal Studios where he advertised his Cowdoy Butter and ordered an airstrike in North Korea. They also met Jizzy Jeff and went on the Transformers ride, but Cowdoy killed the Ace Ventura character thinking they were Kim Jong Un. Cowdoy then won the election but was shot by Beetlejuice; his last words were the chorus to Jizzy Jeff's *Boom! Shake The Room*. He revealed that he had tricked them by faking his death. They went on the Simpsons ride and sang *Boom! Shake The Room* one more time. (*Podcast Ep 156 - Welcome To The Old West*)

### Talking to Egg Helms

He talked to Egg Helms on the podcast, saying he had met him before on the shops when Egg was getting some eggs and then hit Cowdoy. Egg said he found Cowdoy annoying. He also met Moogie Woogie. He pitched an Apple TV show to Ed in which he is Andy Samberg in The Office and has no pants, then the Sheriff comes in. He then went passive on the idea. He then asked for a 50% buy up in his idea of a phone holder you can put cash in, but then said he was out. (*Podcast Ep 221 - Exciting News With Ed Helms*)

### Housemate in the Big Ol' House of Fun

In 2020, Cowdoy applied to be a housemate with the boys in the Big Ol' House of Fun, and was interviewed by them. Cowdoy left such a good impression that he earned himself the prestigious room of underneath the counter, in the place of Dishy. Zach changed the Wi-Fi name to "PooPoo" in an attempt to impress him, and he was later almost found by the Sheriff. (*Housemates*)

While the boys were drinking their morning brown, Cowdoy drank Fanta instead and made unsolicited verbal remarks towards the boys. However, the episode was not canon. (*Treasure*)

When they received a notification on the computer, Cowdoy was able to catch it using his lasso. He said he was going to go and stew up some prunes. (*Dating*)

His shoes could later be seen poking out from under the kitchen counter next to the Tiny Little Man's home. (*Dinner Party*)

### Cowdoy in the city and Santa murder

During the promotion of Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun on Netflix (as well as the HBO series *Chernobyl*), Mark and Zach searched for Cowdoy in the city of Melbourne. When they found him, he followed them through the city. He tried to shoot an Aunty Donna fan, and expressed his desire to go to a saloon, eat liquorice whip and find a spittoon. When another fan came up to them in a cowboy suit, Cowdoy attacked him. He also shot and killed Santa Claus, but it was never shown whether this was real or not.

### Zach's hallucination

While staying open late at the cafe, Zach hallucinated a tiny Cowdoy on a table. Zach sincerely confessed his love to Cowdoy, and Cowdoy told him there was a way for them to be together; he had to be fed the heart of a human man. Zach said he couldn't cut out Mark's heart, but Cowdoy told him it was the only way, and they could be together forever. (*We're Open Til 5pm Today*)

### Cowdoy in the city again and death

During the promotion of Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe, Cowdoy, Zach and Mark went to the city. They hung around Federation Square whilst taking photos with others. Cowdoy humped a rail. He then helped a truck go past by moving a sign. He then went and bought ice cream. After that, he travelled to Abu Dhabi, stopping by Hamad National Airport. He then travelled to Copenhagen, where he died under unexplained circumstances. (*Cowdoy in the City 2*)

## Trivia

* In Haven't You Done Well 8: Halloween, Broden had played Ghoul Bob beforehand which included dark makeup under his eyes; this is why Cowdoy has eye bags.
* To play him in Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun, Broden got the costume designer to buy the exact right clothes for him, and made them smudge his makeup.
* His name is Cowdoy instead of Cowboy because of Dana Gould's absurd comedy.
* Cowdoy achieved first place in the 2023 Aunty Donna World Cup held on the subreddit, beating out fan favourite characters South African Sams, LAN Party Zach, and Silly Boy.
