Bucky McBadbat is Chester McBadbat's father on The Fairly OddParents, known for being constantly shunned by society for having been the worst baseball player in history. As a result, he is always seen with a paper bag hiding his face.
He is flat broke, and lives inside a trailer park with his son, in less than ideal conditions. Bucky is usually depicted sitting on a toilet, sometimes which is placed in plain sight. He eats noticeably unusual things with his thrilled son, including possums and animals at the zoo.
Under the paper bag that hides his face, Bucky looks very similar to his son Chester. A baseball card of Bucky from during his career showed that he has crooked teeth. His eyebrows are usually blond and pupils green like Chester, but in some other episodes his eyebrows and pupils are colored differently.
Bucky is usually seen in group shots with the parents of other named kids on the show, as they seem to be the only people who tolerate his presence. In his debut episode, "Foul Balled", when Chester became briefly good at baseball thanks to Timmy and his godparents, Bucky felt proud for his son and felt the shame lifting from him. After the Losers beat the New York Bankees in Foul Balled, Bucky congratulates his son and gives him his own bag to put on his head.
Bucky played a somewhat major role in "Fairy Idol". After Chester encountered Norm the Genie, he wished for his father to have great success again. Although Bucky's fame and glory was restored and he was once again able to be seen without a bag on his head, the nature of Norm's magic meant that it would eventually backfire; Bucky soon ran out of money, lost his mansion and custody of his son Chester, and was hauled off to a federal jail. After Norm became Chester's temporary fairy godparent, he restored the McBadbats' life to normal, with his father once again being a shamed (but free) celebrity.
Bucky was also seen in the bad future timeline in "Channel Chasers" where Dimmsdale had been destroyed by Vicky. Bucky was still living in the same trailer, which was destroyed by stray fire during a chase scene. Bucky was sitting on the toilet at the end as his house was blown up around him.
Just like a lot of the other characters in the series, his appearances after the fifth season are scarce. He only had cameos in "Add-a-Dad", "Fly Boy", and "Dadbra-Cadabra".
