The show's theme song (written by John Kricfalusi, Bob Camp & Charlie Brissette) plays up Muddy's particular physical traits:
His name is a parody of Woody Woodpecker. He also calls Stimpy 'kid.'īesides being a huge television star, Muddy has dabbled in villainy, at one point kidnapping the Pope (voiced by Frank Zappa) before being foiled by Powdered Toast Man. He calls everyone he meets "a lousy bum". There are certain parallels between Muddy and Krusty the Clown from The Simpsons - both have television shows that may or may not be for children, both shower their co-stars with abuse, and behind the scenes they are less than pleasant to be around.
Muddy is an archetype - the old, jaded comedian who is outstanding at being "on" when on stage but sour and dissatisfied off-stage. Muddy Mudskipper is a mudskipper (a species of fish capable of crawling out of water and breathing air directly) with the voice and personality of a grizzled vaudeville comedian who hosts an afternoon kids' show.
