Discuss the Beagle Boys!


Okay, since they're practically my favorite characters, I decided to start ONE topic about them rather than taking up the whole board with topics.

So... who was your favorite? Any you didn't like? Should they have had brought back Bankjob, Bugle, and Babyface for Season Two?

...And anything else you can think of.

BURGER BEAGLE!!

Burger Beagle...... because he is so funny. All the other Beagles look more like each other.



Yeah, well, that´s just, like, your opinion, man - Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski

lets see....

Big Time beagle was the really short beagle boy who talked too much.

burger was the one who really didn't do much other than eat

There was one who had clothes bigger than he was,(because his sleeves were hanging off) and half his prison number was bent, but i forgot his name.

Ma beagle was pretty much the smartest one because she never went to prison, with ONE exception and thats the episode where the "beagle BABES" debuted, which was also the episode where webby gets kidnapped.

There was another beagle boy who had big muscles and was really tough but I don't remember his name.

There was another beagle boy who was Extremely smart, because he invented Gizmo ducks remote control. I can't remember his name.

That's all I can remember. If anyone knows the names of the beagle boys I mentioned who i forgot their names tell me.

There's Bomber beagle who appeared in Top Duck. He was the leader in that episode. Big Time got left behind when he got Burger and Bouncer (another that no one has mentioned yet. He was the big one but he wasn't clever) out of prison.

His name was Megabyte Beagle.

Yes, it's true! IMDB has reached Sweden!

I loved Burger, he was the funniest and was always turning everything anyone said into something about food. I also really liked their blue blood counterparts in The Status Seekers ep (Bonaparte=Big Time, Bicept=Bouncer, Bernaise=Burger)

Burger: Hey look guys, I'm a pilot!
Big Time: Swell. I'm flyin' with Top Goon!

reply

My favorite Beagles have to be Burger, Big Time and Baggy.

Let's see if I can name them all:

Big Time, Burger, Bouncer, Baggy, Bankjob, Baby Face, Bugle, Bomber...anybody I miss?

reply

I miss the lesser seen Beagles like Bankjob, Bugle, Babyface, Bomber etc. Those guys never appeared past season 1 for some reason(save for some minor non speaking cameos in Super Ducktales).

reply

"I miss the lesser seen Beagles like Bankjob, Bugle, Babyface, Bomber etc. Those guys never appeared past season 1 for some reason(save for some minor non speaking cameos in Super Ducktales)."

Well, about that time the show became more focused on Gizmo Duck, so I guess they decided to eliminate some lesser known characters.

reply

I liked all of them. I'm glad Disney made them unique and individual because I don't think the 5 years old would've seen the difference seeing how in Barks' comics they all looked the same. I get a kick out of all of them.

reply

Let's see how many I can name: Burger, Big Time, Bouncer, Baggy, Babyface, Bugle, Bebop, Bomber, Bankjob...all I can think of. I know there was a barrage of Beagles in "Drain on the Economy", or on the DVD- "Catch as Cash Can Part 1".

reply

This is about as comprehensive as I care to get(which is quite a bit)

Of course there is Ma, as well as Black Heart, Bookworm, and Baron Von Beagle if you count the comic strips.

Bigtime, Burger, Bankjob, Bouncer, Bomber, Baggy, Babyface, Bugle/Bebop, Butch, Megabyte, Backwards, Bacon, Binky, Wildbill, Butch, Bullseye, Bulkhead, Butterball, Blitzkreig, Bushwack, Beanball, Baffling, Bankshot, Buck 'n Roll, Bifocal, Bully, The Beagle Babes: Boom-Boom, Bouffant, Baby doll, one unnamed Beagle from Once upon a Dime, and then the Beagle brats.

That about covers it.

reply

Whoa. That's a bounteous boatload'o Beagles.

Aw, the Beagle Babes! The girls who kidnap Webby. While Scrooge suffers with two inept cops.

I remember that episode, that scene where they're robbing a toy store, the one sticks the loot in her hair. The clerk asks why there's a bicycle sticking out of her hair. Her response: "it wouldn't fit in my purse."

Classic.

We have to wait for Volume 4 to see that episode though.

reply

Bugle and Bebop were two different Beagles. Bugle talked like a beatnik, which is why I thought he was called Beatnik Beagle; Bebop spoke like a radio DJ, adding "bebop" to almost everything he said.

reply

"Gimme that ol' soft shoe!" (*POW*)

Big Time was actually a pretty likeable leader. I love Burger because he had a bite of his ID tag taken out too (must have been in that moment of no food) ... "I haven't eaten in minutes!"

I never think about the future, it comes soon enough

reply

The Beagle Boys were one of the best parts of the show. Burger,Bouncer,Big Time&Bushwhack were my favorites.

reply

"Bugle and Bebop were two different Beagles. Bugle talked like a beatnik, which is why I thought he was called Beatnik Beagle; Bebop spoke like a radio DJ, adding "bebop" to almost everything he said."

They were the same character. He was called Bebop in the dream sequence of Scoogerello. That's the one and only time he was called by this name and it was a dream sequence anyway, so it easily slides.

He only made 2 regular appearances(not counting the seconds long cameos from Super Ducktales)in the entirety of the series. Those episodes were Time Teasers and Hero for Hire. He was obviously the same character in both episodes.

reply

Agreed. Giving the Beagle Boys distinct appearances along with names that start with "B" gives each of them a personality, which was sorely nonexistant in the original comics.

reply

Eh, they were alright. But I always preferred Barks' version: the Beagles were all exactly alike in appearance and personality, not counting the leader Blackheart Beagle. The TV characteristics were a bit too 'gimmicky', of course it's not as bad as making the gang into polite-speaking upperclass servants like in the DTV Three Musketeers movie.
