what is scooter?

[crazed gonzo fa]

Why is it that all the Gonzos on the spaceship were male, is Gonzo's original planet populated by a patriarchal society?

Actually, I kind of remember at least one female Gonzo during that scene.

Ah, so is Gonzo's planet (at least in this film) structured like the Smurfs? One female with all these guys? Heh

I don't think they ever really said what scooter is. I know his role is that he is a "go-fer" and he does sort of resemble a golpher so maybe thats kind of what the plan was when they made him.

It's been stated before, the whole "go-fer" thing is a joke, a play on the word "gopher"---there really used to be "go-fer"s in the older days.

He's just a freak humanoid like Bunsen IMO. lol

Maybe he's an ailen from the planet Go-fer-koffee! (Just a little joke there)

This very interesting Time Magazine article from 1978 calls Scooter "a human boy, caricatured."

Lol Not quite as interesting a half-Fraggle! Still, I highly recommend the article!

I agree with the article! Scooter has ALWAYS been to me a human, or humanoid. Just like Gonzo has ALWAYS been a whatever, NOT an alien!

Right, agreed on both counts.
