I think Lumpy is very rude to beaver and wally. i dont know why he calls his father daddy at his age.

I think lumpy is playing the role of the big bully. although only a few times in the early episodes he was mean to wally. they became good friends later on. as for him calling daddy i think its hilarious!

Lumpy is supposed to be this big bully early on in the series he then later becomes more of an oaf. I like the later Lumpy the best.

I think Lumpy is really funny with that daddy business and I think that it makes the show funnier to have a lumpy!

Cbfwebwizard05 · 01-26-2003, 04:56 PM

Thats annoying to me!

Agreed!

Although I can understand why Lumpy is not a likeable character to every LITB fan, I think he does add laughs. I wouldn't like him either if laughs were all he was there for; but he does have some depth of character. We know his "daddy," Fred, is a blowhard with unrealistic perceptions about himself and his family, and this is largely what led Lumpy to become the bully, as we see him at first. He can't push anybody around his own size, and he thinks he is entitled to be the 'big cheese' somewhere, so he picks on smaller kids and ramrods himself into the gang of Wally and his friends.

The process is very gradual, but the viewer is apparently meant to see the reform in Lumpy as time goes by. By the second season, even though Wally is already thinking of Lumpy as a friend, Lumpy is still the bully and Wally still fears him. It's funny how he glares at 'Tooey,' and Tooey always points to his thick glasses. But by the end of the series, Lumpy is basically just one of the guys, not usually a threat even to Beaver. But he still holds such a fear of Fred that it puts him into a panic to have to tell him he did something wrong.

So Lumpy is more than just a big dumb bully afraid of his "daddy."

I really like the way Beaver and Lumpy's relationship progressed. At first, Beaver was bullied by him. But over time, Beaver became braver, and realized Lumpy was all talk. I liked it when Beaver went over to Lumpy's house and got him to confess to throwing the towels in the locker room. And then even later, in the episode where Eddie moves out, Lumpy kinda shoves Beaver, and Beaver shoves him right back. When they get older and become partners in business, they actually get along really well.

HaskellGirl can you change your signature picture its kinda big?

ChrisFergusonFl · 01-28-2003, 10:46 AM

I'm not trying to be mean!

HaskellGirl · 01-28-2003, 12:02 PM

What do you mean its kinda big? I know its big, but so what? Is your computer having problems or something? I think Jenny, the moderator, said its okay to have a picture this size and that there's some sorta option you can choose if you don't want to see the pictures.

ChrisFergusonFl · 01-28-2003, 12:54 PM

OK Sorry about that!

It looks fine. If this person has a slow computer or whatever his problem is, you can go to User CP and change the options so all sigs will not show up.

We have a limit on what we can have in sigs. We have a limit of 2 pics and I can't remember the number of lines we can have in a quote. HaskellGirl has one pic and no quotes. Her sig is fine. She is under the limit. Now if she had 3 pictures and 45 lines of quotes that would equal a pretty big sig. I'm sure people would be asking her to remove a pic or some lines out of her sig, if that is the case. That isn't the case.

This is a reference to anybody that wants to set the sig option to off. Go to USER CP, go to CHANGE OPTIONS, scroll down and find Show user's signatures in their posts? and click NO, scroll down and SUBMIT MODIFICATIONS.
