History[]

Hoodwinked[]

In Hoodwinked, Bubba first appeared when Mater, Judd, Buford and Cletus found Mater's hood. He took Mater's hood. He and his friend were playing with it. Mater and his cousins went after them trying to get it back. Finally, Bubba and his friend got bored of the game, so they tossed it in a tree, but luckily, Red got it down with his hose.

He later appears when Mater and his cousins head back to town where he challenges Mater to a race, and the loser will buy the winner a tank of gas. Then Mater had an idea. He decided that they should race backwards, because he knew that Bubba can't race backwards.

The racetrack went down Main Street, around the statue of Stanley twice, then back down Main Street to the finish line. Bubba started out in the lead, but he lost control when he went around the statue of Stanley. Mater passed him and won the race.

Cars: Race-O-Rama[]

In Cars: Race-O-Rama, Bubba first appears in the cutscene for Smash Up 1, where he introduces himself and his friends, Tater and Tater Jr., to Mater. He tells him that they agreed to race in the Rustbucket Stadium for the towing rights to Radiator Springs a long time ago.

He later appears in the cut-scene for Smash Up 2, where he scares Mater, and Mater says that the only thing that scares him is the Ghostlight. Then Bubba was about to say something, but then Mater interrupted saying that his name rhymes with Tater. Then Mater, Tater, and Tater Jr. went to find more things that rhyme with their names. Then Bubba said "Those 3 couldn't spell I.Q. if I started from the I."

He later appears racing in Bubba's Bucket Bash and in the end-scene, where he gets so angry about losing. He even got angry at Tater and Tater Jr., because they had fun, but they lost. They thought that because they made a new friend, and their new friend won, and since their names rhyme, they think that they also won. Then Bubba had drove away saying to Mater that he'll get revenge.
