#the computer from courage the cowardly dog

[starfruitjuice]

I have no idea for a title for this but I might make this into a story because of how freaking funny it would be.

Master shake and Rigby would 100% summon bill cipher thinking its a joke+ Skips would try to stop them to no avail.

Dont really have anything yet.

I heart morally dubious AI

Viktor the Machine Herald is also pretty cool too but sadly no matter how much he wants to be he is not AI.

edit: i watched Arcane season 2 WHY IS HE JESUS? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ROBOT MAN?

Games Night at the Snarky Fictional Computer Club

(Image Description: Three computers sit on or around a table playing cards. On the left sits Milton, the computer conscience from The Talos Principle, playing with a set of ASCII cards inside his monitor screen. In the centre sits The Computer, from Courage the Cowardly Dog, cards clumsily crammed into his disc drive. On the right sits P03, from Inscryption, his cards laid flat on the table. P03 asks if Computer has any fours, to which the response is Go Fish)

the training is... coming along

[hatchworks]

who knows if this profile pic will last since it doesn’t seem super fitting here, but it does make me giggle and that feels like enough for now

an update: it lasted .2 seconds. if indecisiveness was a virtue then I’d be close to canonized

I want to redesign Bellamy (nautis roommate) but designing robots is hard

[noelle-tea]

heres my hear me out :3

bitches be like “my most diabolical hear me out yet” and it’s a skinny white guy

[iyv-luster]

Silly idea in my head-

Just imagine CRK with darling who has the personality of Courage the Cowardly Dog. I mean, could I really blame you? Stuck in a world full of cookies yet hold higher power and full of monsters that could crush you in a blink. Compared to you despite a human (who got shrunken into their size), you're still a weak mortal after all. No powers, no nothing.

Well, at least you have that smartwatch (yes, based on that computer) can help you find a solution to defeat your enemies and defend Gingerbrave's team!!

After a small talk with your smartwatch, you finally gather all the courage to face your enemy.

"The things I do for love.." You mutter.

Wait- where do you get that missile launcher from???

[oh-no-my-hand-slipped]

One of my most famous hear me outs is the computer from Courage the Cowardly Dog. The fact we GOT a sick episode, it centered around the computer, and we still didn’t get A SINGLE SNEEZE OR ANYTHING from him is a crime.

I can definitely imagine him getting sick from an old game disc or something with a virus, getting infected, and then Courage having to go to hell and back for the parts while the computer is giving less and less energetic snarky comments.

Also, yes, he isn’t technically designed with a mouse, but his design changes a lot in the show, so I’m just going with it.

"You call being chased by a lunatic snowman scary? You twit."

Name: The Computer

(Mental) Age: Adult (implied)

Pronouns: He/Him It/It's

Appearance(s): Courage The Cowardly Dog, The Fog of Courage, Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog

Fandom Activity: dead at the moment. More on this later

Fanon accuracy: Man.. it's too complicated to say here

------In Canon------

Computer (yes that's its name) is the computer owned by the Bagge's located I'm their attic. Courage uses him to search for how to defeat the monster of the day, research specific items, with occasional off screen NORMAL computer activities

Computer appears in every season if the show: 9 times in season 1 (one being a cameo), 5 times in season two, 3 times in season 3, and four times in season four. He makes two quick appearances in The Fog Of Courage and Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog movies.

The Computer will usually say a snippy one liner before and or after actually giving the information Courage wants.

Courage (searching for a cure): "What should I do?"

Computer: "if I were you, I'd get a big mallet and-" (smash them presumably)

Courage: "No no NO! A cure! A cure!"

Computer: "Oh....... That's easy, get a little hair from the mole that bit you."

(Courage gets ready to leave)

Computer: "just don't get bitten!~" (teasing tone meant to shake courage up)

The Computer has a masculine British voice DRIPPING with sarcasm, having a new voice actor in every new appearance: Simon Prebble, Paul Schoeffler, and Jeff Bergman respectfully

------Analysis------

- The computer is most likely based off of a Amiga 3000

You can see the resemblance yes? Cube monitor that sits on top the rectangle (I forgot the name sue me) with the clunky keyboard (ho mama) honestly perfect for a cartoon. Although he is still simplified, without a mouse and numpad (fair enough)

- In season 2 episode 14 he gains an off switch meant only as a gag. The Computer makes fun of Courage for.. being a cowardly dog and Courage flips the switch turning it off. It then disappears for the rest of the season until season 3, where it now has the words "OFF" under it.

- In season 3 episode seven, Muriel presses a random key on the Computers keyboard. Which then plays [SENSUAL TRUMPET NOISE] and presumably shows something in his screen, it isn't shown to the audience and Courage covers it up embarrassed. The Computer then says "Hey, push that button again!" in a..flirtatious??? Tone, To which Courage responds by ripping out the key and tossing it.. did Courage have a P@%# Hot key?? Was it giving The Computer physical satisfaction?? Gross.

- Anyway in this episode The computer has three keys near both sides of the space bar (unlike the images shown above before this episode, which has two keys on each side)

Courage rips out the one in the bottom right of the keyboard. Here's an image of the Amiga 3000 keyboard

As you can see it doesn't HAVE a third key at the bottom. The quality is s$!÷ but the closest one is the right ALT key. Meaning the 'button' is either the ALT key in earlier episodes or (going off of other keyboards) the right CTRL key in this episode

- the Computer regularly says suggestive S#!÷ in a suggestive tone. In Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog: he outright flirts with Velmas iPad and asks if later she would want to do some "Downloading and updating"

Yeah I don't even know man

- The computer is a lot nicer in the Scooby-Doo movie. When I say a lot nicer I mean he only insults someone like once

-----This part------

Okay so when I first looked up the computer, I just did a quick search on Tumblr and saw only a few posts. So like a sane person I just assumed he wasn't very popular and moved on.

BUT NO! F#@%!×$ NO!!

For S#!+$ and giggles I did one lazy search and found All things End: A Computer x Courage slow burn

If you use your eyes you can see 3 things: one, this has 144 chapters, 2 this has 415,955 words, so those aren't SHORT chapters, and three-

THIS IS PART F@#$%!÷ ONE!!!

This series has 3 parts, the final STILL BEING WRITTEN. it started in 2010-07-31. As of writing this that's 13.86 YEARS! This series would be getting ready for high-school!

The plot is about courage falling Ill with a rare fatal disease that will soon kill him. So he and the computer go on a quest to get the cure. The Computer gets a dog body, and the creator has drawn posters for each volume (although only volume one's showed up for me)

The first volume has 415,955 words

The second volume has 474,148 words

The final volume as of writing has 110,744 words

The total word count of the series 1,000,847 words. Giving it 217,770 more words than the kings James version of the Bible which- may I repeat the final is STILL GOING. I hope to one day finish reading this masterpiece. Godspeed Couragefan09 o7

------My Opinion------

10/10 this all started with a video on my YouTube recommended, which I use for most of the pictures. I came out of this having a new fanfic to read for the summer.. and probably fall too. With that being said his character actually made me laugh out loud and I'm SO F#@%!$# PISSED NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HIM! WATCH IT, WATCH IT NOW

[dont-hug-me-its-yuri]

HELLO ZABEL 🩷 I'm really in the mood to hear MORE about your AU? Trying to knock some of my anxiety away to ask you if there's anything you have put together for Colin or Tracey because I'm trying to pick your brain (WITHOUT YOU TRYING TO SHARE WAY TOO MUCH) about each of these teachers. I'm a very curious creature about Dhmis AUs but 100% share what you want to and don't feel you need to fork every big detail over unless you're willing to! Also I just wanted to say I love you a lot and just know I'll always be here for you if you need me. You mean a lot to me! I've said that billions of times probably but it's good to be reminded! I look up to you a lot and you've made me really happy waahh!!! ilysm/p

Colin, in the original outline for the show, was gonna be the main threes smart computer that both taught them about the internet in one episode and just generally gave information throughout the show, like the courage the cowardly dog computer but nicer.

In the puppet world, Colin is a new and improved protection unit that doubles as your computer, use him for information one moment and have him protect your home the next!

Colin doesn’t have a specific “owner” but he does consider himself the main threes computer, though he often visits Clayhill to see the other teachers

every computer has a self-customized digital world that represents them, Colin’s is pristine and very basic with numbers and floating checker board tiles as Colin doesn’t break from his code, it defines him.

and for his cousin, Tracey, she was meant to be used to regulate Electricity by containing it, though her role in the show is unknown as only a few sketches and a half-finished puppet (before Lesley fixed her up) got done before the show got canned, she now exists in the world as a old unregulated robot.

this causes her to be unstable, when expressing too much of an emotion (mostly happiness), it caused her to admit electricity that causes a shock when its in contact with someone or something

She also doesn’t have water-protection features like Colin so she needs to GEAR. UP. When it rains.

[baa-whatever]

Oh my god, yeah, I loved Computer from Courage the Cowardly Dog. I didn't know why, he was just funny to me and I was so happy seeing that he got his own episode and you can tell he loved Courage. He cared about Courage and Muriel more than Eustace did.

Computer was a sassy, know-it-all and acted like he was better than everyone but he showed that he cared even though he would never admit it. He gave up all his fame and fortune to go home with Courage after he nearly died saving him and Muriel. He understood the meaning of courage. No matter what it was, Courage always saved him.

It's funny how Computer was slightly more caring where Eustace got worse over the seasons.

[stupidlittlespirit]

Saw a tiktok about sass ais and it brought up Courage the cowardly dogs computer and it called him a twit lol. Forgot that computer was rude I’m gonna give REEDA that energy in my head now just for giggles. She deserves to hand out low tier insults.

-fanfichubcircuit

Oh my god, yes! I took inspiration from characters like GLaDOS, Karen from Spongebob, and Marvin the robot from Hitchhikers Guide, but Courage's PC definitely fits for it too.

REEDA cares about Ford but its attitude definitely depends on how annoyed it is with him on the day lmaooooooo

[eating-plastic]

Okay, I know Maison's canon voice is the air conditioner computer from Brave Little Toast, but am I the only one who also sees him sounding like the computer from Courage the Cowardly Dog? I don't know, am I crazy or am I cooking?
