Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer III
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Ruttheimer III is a fictional animated character who featured frequently on MTV's animated series Daria. In the series, he was a student at Lawndale High, where he was forever attempting to woo "ladies" in a perpetual state of amativeness. Charles fancied himself a suave Casanova, but such beliefs would most accurately be described as delusions, as he was the least popular student in the school. His lack of success with girls is almost comparable to Beavis and Butt-head.
Only ever addressed or referred to by other students at Lawndale High as "Upchuck", due to his repulsive manner, Charles would make a sexual comment almost every time he appeared onscreen, and would frequently deliver his catch phrase "Grrr... Feisty!" in response to any insult or rejection thrown his way by a female.
[edit] Background Information
Very little was ever revealed about Charles' personal life, as he was a secondary character, one of many comic relief devices used in the series (see also characters Kevin Thompson, Brittany Taylor). He was one of the few students at Lawndale High whose parents never appeared on the show, although it can be safely assumed his father's name was also Charles.
[edit] Trivia
- The only time Charles was ever successful at "picking up" a girl was in the Daria movie finale Is It College Yet? In the final scene of the movie he tried one of his generic pick-up lines on fellow student Andrea, and she nonchalantly accepted. He seemed very surprised.
- He was the only character on the show with an actual catch phrase, in the traditional sense of the word
- Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer III is voiced by actor Marc Thompson, who also gave voice to Anthony DeMartino, Timothy O'Neill and Kevin Thompson.
- He drives a Volvo sedan.
