Default What is your image of the Gooch?

When you think of the Gooch, what does he look like to you? I'd like to hear your versions of him.

My vision of the gooch is of a pretty girl who is about the same size as Arnold. Many people have mentioned the gooch as a girl in the past, but along with making her a girl I would also make her small, and pretty. This would be a hilarious twist in my view because it would be something the audience would have never expected. Usually bullies on tv shows are looked at as big ugly dudes, but in reality the bullies are usually the normal looking kids, and the ones being bullied are usually the big odd looking kids. It was revealed in one episode that the gooch was only an inch and a half taller than Arnold, so I have a feeling he/she wasn't as intimidating as the show sometimes made him/her out to be. Another idea is that they could have made the gooch Mr. Drummond's long lost son that he never knew he had. But my first vision of the Gooch is my favorite.

Wouldn't it though? It would be funny if the Gooch character along with being Arnold's size had little pink bows in her hair, and said please and thank you while everyone else was around. The whole episode could revolve around her putting on a little miss perfect act around everyone while everytime Willis and Mr D. would leave the room the real her would come out. I think that could possibly be one of the funniest D.S. episodes ever!

That would have been cool!

I actually imagined the Gooch to look like the sterotyped description of a bully that mdntrider7 mentioned, we were never really given any details on looks other than obvious bully features.

I always pictured The Gooch to be really fat with dirty blond hair and freckles.
