Why Fudpuckers?


Mahoney (dressed up as a young tough) declares that he's been a gang member of the Archies and then the Fudpuckers. What do you make of this joke?

AFAIK Fudpuckers are a type of tropic fish which can bite. Or was the reference simply because the name sounds funny?

Well, fudpuck that uptight TV station ... and the bike it rode in on.

I am just guessing.

But it may have originally been "Fudgepucker".

The script writers realized how offensive that was so just took out the "GE" to make it Fudpucker.

Everytime I have watched the movie I figured that is what it was (but it just shows the type of mind I have).

Which street gang would name itself like that?

Except for a street gang of self-effacing homo toughs, maybe ...

A street gang inside a slapstick comedy film aimed at teenagers.

The name of a Church, "the lady of the worthless miracle" was in one of the Police Squad films, no way would a church call themselves that.

Using the name.. People make fun of fudruckers.

Fudpuckers.. Just change the F and P in the name gives if a whole new meaning. Lol

I thought the joke was that he chose a stupid gang name which made Mojo suspicious, and then chose an even stupider name while threatening him to which Mojo says "I think I know some fudpuckers on the other side of town"

Could have some link to *beep* too, I dunno.

Not the other side of town. On the West Coast.
