Talk:Uncle Ruckus

Brackrts whore
Please dont let the bracket whore write another article.

Was he actually in the comic strip or is completely original to the animated series?

I believe he was in the comic as well, I remember seeing his as Huey and Riley's bus driver.

Theme music
Is it notable that in the second season, they've started using "Jabba's Theme" (as in Jabba the Hutt) for Ruckus? -- Pennyforth 03:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Uncle Remus reference?
Does anyone know if Uncle Ruckus is supposed to be a parody of the character Uncle Remus from the movie "Song of the South"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sorcha Payne (talk • contribs) 21:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

It was a dream
Though I do think he would protest MLK's protests, The episode where rukus revelaled these acts was just a dream of Huey's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.137.99.199 (talk) 16:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Possibly, although he does start practicing with brick throwing again against President Obama in the 3rd Season opener. darthbob 22:37, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

the year he was born?
Rukus has said that he served on a jury in 1957, how could he have done so when he would have only been 16 if he was born in 1941? this youtube video has it where he says so. http://youtube.com/watch?v=JzQwnvkRQII —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.137.99.199 (talk) 17:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Possible reference to Eugene "Bull" Connor?
I was watching a video in a Communication Across Cultures class about the march in Birmingham in the 1960s and saw Eugene "Bull" Connor speaking with a striking similarity to Uncle Ruckus (as both have a bugged-out eye). Anyone else think that Ruckus might be reference to Connor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.12.199.20 (talk) 18:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Ken Blackwell
Perhaps I should explain further why the "source" identifying Uncle Ruckus a possible representation of Ken Blackwell is not appropriate. Any idiot with a blog who claims Uncle Ruckus is really Ken Blackwell does not deserve airtime on wikipedia. If it were a prominent leader who claimed as such, or if a more established source had an article discussing the theory, then it would merit mention in wikipedia. But all you have a is a lone nut blogger with an axe to grind. Not reliable, not notable, not wikipedia material. SchutteGod (talk) 23:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I would just like to add there is at least one spelling error here "Uncle Ruckus's name is an amalgam " written in the first paragraph. ive never heard of an "amalgam" and i cannot make myself think that it means anything other than ANAGRAM. someone whoe knows what they are doing please fix it. and feel free to delete my  talk on this page after. Ok seeing as how it has yet to be corrected can some one at least link the word to its definition? or simply change it to "Combination" the word amalgam is one im sure very few people have heard of  and it needs fixing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.238.59.82 (talk) 15:38, 26 September 2010 (UTC) While I partially agree I think there may be a need in your realm to attempt to expand your vocabulary. While I agree there is a connotative misrepresentation as amalgam is almost entirely used in the context of science. In general, however, the concept of limitation of vocabulary would act against the entire foundation of the wikimedia project in my eyes. It not only seeks to create content that is accessible simply like an encyclopedia but information that is digestible to all through using the miracle that is hyperlinking to make no dense word or topic out of reach. Only news with its statistical lack of long term global importance demands being easily digestible but if we use the rest to learn in earnest such actions should not be required. In all honestly the foul here is not hyperlinking to wiktionary article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.21.50 (talk) 07:26, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Multiple jobs
In one episode, a character, I believe Granddad, asks Ruckus how on earth he can possibly work all these jobs. His response is something like 'in eight 2-hour shifts seven days a week alternating a different list of 111 jobs every other week, with one two hour break sunday morning for church' but, I can't remember the exact phrase, or even the episode it's from; but, I think it's notable since one of Ruckus' most apparent characteristics is his multicareerism, and this statement effectively explains how he does so in the words of the show itself. So if anyone recalls this or can otherwise find the exact response he gives, I think it'd be a welcome addition to the article. Cheers Mr0t1633 (talk) 20:16, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
