Mr. Bickles

Mr. Bickles is the flamboyant drama teacher at Dimmsdale Elementary School who is in charge of many of the cultural events that take place in the school.

Character
Bickles has numerous dreams which he wishes to accomplish in life but he never seems to succeed. He, like Mr. Birkenbake is desperate for a girlfriend.

Description
Mr. Bickles wears a stereotyical artistic director's clothing, with really poofy khaki pants, a red scarf and beret, a stopwatch around his neck, and a yellow shirt with rolled up sleeves. Every time Timmy Turner messes up something, Mr. Bickles frets about how his life dream has been ruined.

Background
He first appeared in the episode "Chip Off The Old Chip", where he auditioned students for the role of Ryan McLane in a musical adaption of a Ryan McLane movie. Bickles seemed infatuated with Ryan McLane, and even kept a picture of him on his person. None of the students at Dimmsdale Elementary School were good enough for the part, so Bickles thought his "dream was ruined" until Timmy Turner showed up with Chip Skylark's voice. At the actual play though, Timmy used a scheme involving the pledge of allegiance to give Chip Skylark back his voice, and then sang a song with Chip, ruining Bickle's play and upstaging Trixie Tang (the lead female), but succeeded in getting Chip Skylark's career back on track.

In "The Masked Magician", Mr. Bickles once aspired to be a magician but he was horrible at it since all his magic tricks would either attack him or back fire horribly. After being upstaged by Timmy Turner who was posing as the "Masked Magician", Bickles took on his own evil identity and attempted to make Dimmsdale disappear with a giant handkerchief, but he was stopped when Timmy apologized him and helped him get his own magic show. In the process of Bickles getting a magic show though, Britney Britney lost her own act. She swore revenge on Bickles, and became The Platinum Princess and ruined his magic show. Bickles decided to go back to being a teacher.

In "One Man Banned", Mr. Bickles began auditions for the school band. At first, Timmy was horrible and was immediately kicked out when he auditioned. But when Timmy wished for the ability to be the best musician in the school, he won over Mr. Bickles and the school simply by tapping a triangle. Timmy went on to became a famous musician, and Mr. Bickles helped him to the spotlight. Bickles was Timmy's announcer at his big concert at the Timmydome, but when Timmy lost his magic powers and went back to having horrible music, Mr. Bickles was able to fall back on his back up dream of selling tomatoes to the audience so they could throw them at Timmy.
