"He was the coolest kid to ever play on this hallowed grass. He was my idol, my inspiration, my guiding light, and I shook his hand!"
T.J. about Franklin

Franklin "The Dude" Dudikoff was a former student of Third Street School.

Appearance[]

He has spiky brown hair, black eyes and wears a brown trench coat, red necktie, light-blue collared shirt, and dark-blue trousers. As a student teacher, he was not confident, reading only from a book, that is until the kids reminded him of who he used to be. Unfortunately, that was even worse as he only had them playing. Eventually he learned to combine both his serious teacher personality and his fun side and taught the kids their lessons in a fun and creative way. Although not mentioned in the episode, it is obvious that he is extremely attractive, fitting the cliche of a "Hot Teacher". He has a change of personality. He tries to find the right way to teach the students.

History[]

He was regarded by the kids as a legend, becoming the playground king in the third grade and pranked Miss Finster by writing an insult in wet cement besides her footprint and writing signs and sticking them on her back. He also led a revolt in the cafeteria against what they used to call "Tuesday Surprise".

Trivia[]

  • Like T.J.'s phrase "Tender", he has a phrase "Supple".
  • In "The Dude", Mr. Dude mentions having stashed some bubble gum in a hollow globe "about fifteen years ago." Assuming he attended fourth grade during that time (around 1982), that would make him about 24 in the present (1997-98).
  • His favorite bubble gum is Bubbletopia, which is banned from the school. He uses the hollow school globe in Miss Grotke's classroom as a secret compartment for the gum.
