- "Nobody's home."
– Matt's standard answer at the door
Matt, also known as "Schoolyard Bully", is the bouncer at Lime Ricky's Bar. He was previously held in the Kid Zoo by Mrs. Goodwall.
Appearance[]
Matt is a rather large, round kid with tan skin and short black hair. He wears a red shirt, black pants and dark shoes.
History[]
Matt was the big boy on the playground and became the local school bully. He was captured by Mrs. Goodwall to be displayed at her Kids Zoo, where he was placed in an open-air enclosure. One of the zoo's attractions would be feeding obnoxious kids to the school bully, whom he ate whole. When Sector V and the Delightful Children managed to escape the zoo, they decided not to release the bully, but instead throw Mrs. Goodwall into his enclosure (Operation: Z.O.O.).
Bouncer Matt
He managed to escape at some point because he was later seen to be the bouncer at Lime Ricky's Bar, and had become a friendly acquaintance of Numbuh 2. He regularly answers the bar's door with "Nobody's home", and depending on the answer he gets he will allow the kid to enter or keep them out. Even though he is a big guy, he was unable to keep Mr. Fizz and his Soda Control Team from raiding the bar and confiscating the entire supply of root beer (Operation: P.O.P.).
Trivia[]
- It's also possible the character model for the schoolyard bully was recycled into Matt, a practice often used in the series.
