Vice Principal Crubbs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vice Principal Crubbs (Played by Hamilton Mitchell) is the Vice Princpal at James K. Polk Middle School in the sitcom Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, debuting in the second season. His last name is a combination of Crockett and Tubbs, the two main leads on Miami Vice. He acts like a character from that 80's show, from his white linen suit to his Florida Office decor, and is very authoritative and always has multiple pairs of sunglasses, which he likes wearing and swiping them right off his face, usually if he sees students doing bad stuff. He first appearance is solving a mysterious woodshop attack with cheese puff's "cheedle" residue. His old college nickname was "Dr. No," because he apparently said "NO!!" a lot (which is an obvious parody of Dr. No character in the James Bond movies). Crubbs reveals to Ned that he was an actual former Vice cop from Miami, however, having achieved his lifetime ambition, he felt unsatified. Realizing that he dealt with young lives already wasted--Crubbs decided to enter Education where he could help redeem students before their posssible futures were squandered away--and as an added bonus--he still had the word "Vice" in his job title. At James K. Polk Middle School he says a lot: "Do (whatever) or you're Fired"! Is fond of wearing a yellow hardhat with a flashing red light. He is also an expert April Fool's prankster and enjoys the lottery (even though he stupidly draws the numbers 12345). Will probably keep a special eye on Ned Bigby now that he sees him as a possible protogé. In Season 3, he almost becomes Principal of the school in Guide to Principals. He tends to be gullible as seen in the episode "Hallways and Friends Moving."
