Fans debate Puddy's character, with some defending him as entertaining despite his quirks while others find him annoying and want Elaine to move on from him.

Painted faced puddy, "dont mess with the devil's!". I have liked him ever since that show where he scared the priest to death. Sorry buddy but I have a life. Stupid can describe your post. I don't think people who hate him suck. Everybody has got their own opinion. Get your head out of your ass!

Can someone please explain to me why Puddy is called the "Face Painter"? I must have missed that episode. Thanks in advance.

The first time we meet Puddy he is taking Elaine to a hockey game. When heenters the living room he has his face painted Blue(?) and Red(?). Anyway, the devil logo across his face 'to support his team'. Elaine is pissed but goes
anyway. She tells him not to go this way to the next game. So his face is clean next time but he and a few friends (and two of the group) end up on TV with their shirts off and a letter from DEVILS pained across their chests.
Calling him a 'face painter' labels him as a dumb, uncultured, uneducated, blue collar worker, just the antithesis of Elaine's dreams. But as we are told here by the female posters 'he is a hunk'.

One time, when Elaine was first dating him, they all went to a hockey game together and he painted his face with the New Jersey Devils team colors. He also wore the Devils jersey. On the way home, an elderly priest almost ran him over as he crossed the street, and he started shouting "Don't mess with the Devils, man!" and stuff to that effect. The devil insignia on his jersey and his wildly-painted face scared the crap out of the priest. It was a Puddy moment.
By the way, I've always assumed it was spelled "Putty," but I guess the two d's must be right since everyone else uses them. I'll check the credits.

Uh, not this time. Peaboy did use the correct three words, and in the right order, too, but he wins nothing but my scorn.
I agree, but not as harshly as you mention. I think the show would be better if Elaine dumped Puddy once and for all, and she went on to doing other Elaineeske things. But Puddy does have a rare moment once in a while.
