Coach Krupt

Character Information Gender: Male ♂ Status: Unknown Age: Unknown Hair: Grey Occupation: Gym Teacher Relatives: Wife, son, daughter (all unnamed) First appearance: My Fair Laddy Voiced by: Hank Azaria v • d • e • h

Coach Krupt is a sadistic gym teacher at Springfield Elementary School who is obsessed with the game Bombardment.

Bombardment consists of Krupt hitting students with dodgeballs thown at full force. Krupt is relentless in playing the game, even ignoring medical orders that would excuse his students from participating (and prevent him from assaulting them). Bart sneaks a peek at Krupt's calendar and sees that Krupt has Bombardment scheduled for every day, with "Double Bombardment" on Christmas Day. Krupt also plays Bombardment with bread rolls in restaurants.

Even when he's not playing Bombardment, Krupt still conforms to the "sadistic gym teacher" stereotype and finds other things to obsess over. One day in gym class, the scheduled activity is rope climbing and it's Milhouse's turn to climb, but the rope has disappeared. Krupt tells Milhouse to climb anyway, forcing him to pantomime climbing a rope.

Krupt is introduced as a substitute for gym teacher Ms. Pommelhorst, who is taking a leave of absence to undergo sex reassignment surgery. He has a wife and two children, a boy and a girl.
