Principal Benjamin "Benny" Krupp, better known as Mr. Krupp or Krupp, and his alter-ego, Captain Underpants, is the titular deuteragonist of the Captain Underpants franchise.
He’s the overweight, middle-aged, grouchy principal of Jerome Horwitz Elementary and the alter-ego of the superhero, Captain Underpants. He’s widely known as the Worst Principal in the World.
In the film adaptation, he was voiced by Ed Helms, who also played Andy Bernard in The Office, the Once-Ler in the 2012 film adaptation of The Lorax, Number Two in Meet Dave and Brad Gurdlinger in We're the Millers.
In The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, he is voiced by Nat Faxon, who also voiced his alternate timeline counterpart and Captain Pandernuts in the same show.
In the Japanese dub of the film adaption, he was voiced by Yasunori Matsumoto, who also voiced Double in Mega Man X4.
In the scholastic audiobook series, he’s voiced by Len Forgione.
Personality[]
Mr. Krupp is a very mean, sour, grouchy, harsh, bad-tempered, strict, sadistic, selfish, aggressive, evil, angry and bossy principal who hates children, especially George Beard and Harold Hutchins, because of their constant pranks and rebellious behavior. He has Melvin Sneedly as his snitch as well giving him extra credits for his efforts of caught footage of Harold and George's antics. According to Harold, Mr. Krupp hates all sources of fun like comic books, recess, Christmas, carnivals and even (allegedly) kittens. He has a secret crush on the school's lunch lady, Edith.
However, his personality is completely polar as Captain Underpants. He's kind, jolly, loyal yet dimwitted. Still he saves the day and is loyal to his sidekicks George and Harold.
Appearance[]
As Mr. Krupp, he wears a white short-sleeved buttoned up shirt with a brown necktie, green slacks and black leather shoes, along with a toupee, though in the books, the colors of his necktie and pants are reversed. Once he becomes Captain Underpants, he strips down to his underpants and removes his toupee and dons a red cape.
Differences[]
- In the books, Mr. Krupp didn’t reform and he remained being grouchy, mean and antagonistic unlike in films where he had a change of heart near the end of the film, becoming less cranky in the film. In the book series, despite his horrible behavior, he receives no karmic punishment throughout the book series.
- The film gives Mr. Krupp redeeming qualities that are absent in the books: Here, he has a secret crush on Edith the lunch lady, his antagonistic traits are arguably a façade to hide his loneliness, and is amused by the boys' comic about Captain Underpants more than he admitted hence his near-exact impression of his heroic alter-ego while hypnotized. In the first book, he blackmails them into essentially becoming his slaves, complete with forced personality changes. In the movie, he simply attempted put them in separate classes, though the motivation and sadism he took while doing so remain same considering how close the two are and therefore make it difficult for him to break them into the pathetic drones he tries to make all of his students.
Trivia[]
- Mr. Krupp transforms into Captain Underpants whenever he hears someone snap their fingers, and reverts back to normal when someone pours water on his head.
- This even extends to being showered with kisses from Ms. Anthrope, as seen in the sixth book.
- As seen in the eighth book, as long as water is on his head, he cannot transform into Captain Underpants.
- Mr. Krupp in the film can instantly transform back into Captain Underpants with the snap of a finger, even if he has just gotten soaked. In the film, the only exception to this rule is if it is currently raining.
- Mr. Krupp is said to have been inspired by Dav Pilkey’s high school principal, who would reprimand Dav for drawing cartoons in class by telling him, “Artists are a dime of dozen, and you will never make a living as an artist, David.”
- Despite his cruelty, Mr. Krupp does have a soft spot for his nephew Kipper, as he punishes anyone who seemingly bullies him, despite it being obvious that Kipper is the bully.
- His full name, Benny Krupp, is a pun on the word "bankrupt."
- Mr. Krupp is occasionally fair to George and Harold. For example, in Invasion of the Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space, he refused to punish them because the lunch ladies didn't have enough evidence to prove of their pranks, though he would change his mind and reprimanded them later on. Also, in Attack of the Talking Toilets, Mr. Krupp fears of losing his job due to the attack of the talking toilets, but George and Harold manage to get their robot to repair the school's damages, and Krupp cancels their suspension and places them as temporary principals for the day as a reward (although this could be attributed to desperation, since he would be held responsible for the damages.)
- In Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot, Mr. Krupp lost his ability to turn into Captain Underpants. The book stated that there are two possible reasons for this: the electromagnetic explosion that resulted from feeding Sir Stinks-A-Lot soda, Mentos, and pop rocks had erased the hypnotic spell from Mr. Krupp's brain, or Sir Stinks-A-Lot's Super-Power-Juice-ectonomy took away Mr. Krupp's superpowers.
- Due to this, it's unknown how his elderly counterpart 30 years into the future could still change into Captain Underpants in Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers.
- Despite Mr. Krupp disapproving of the Captain Underpants comics, he knows exactly how Captain Underpants behaves, as evidenced by his near-exact impression of the hero while hypnotized. In the film, Mr. Krupp reveals that he has read the comics, which may be how he knows everything about Captain Underpants.
- Dav Pilkey, the author of the book series, greatly approved Mr. Krupp's character development into a more likable character in the film that he wished to give the character the same development in his books back then.
- His personality is very similar to Professor Pamplemousse from Sidekick and Mr. Wilter from ChalkZone.
- In The Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman, Mr. Krupp is shown to be Jewish, but in TV Series, he celebrates Christmas with no reference of Jewish rituals. Many fans were furious, believing it was demeaning to Jewish readers and the book series itself.
- During his wedding with Miss Ribble, George tells the rabbi marrying them "Silly Rabbi, tricks are for kids!" in reference to the famous advertisement for Trix cereal. There is a chance that Pilkey made Krupp Jewish just so he can make that joke.
- His hatred towards Geroge and Harold reach’s the point where he tried to get rid of them (or almost getting them killed), for example in The Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000, he revealed Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold's location to the Turbo Toilet 2000. Which led the boys to being almost killed by the Turbo Toilet 2000, if it were not for Tony, Orlando, and Dawn.
- Mr. Krupp would tried to separate George and Harold in anyway somehow.
- In book 11, When George and Harold flunked their tests, Mr. Krupp was greatly overjoyed that Harold flunked the fourth grade, because he and George would no longer be in the same grade. By sabotaging them from making up their grades with no make-up tests and canceling the final exams.
- In the movie, he had George and Harold in separated classes in an attempt to get rid of their friendship.
- In the TV Series, he put a fence in between George and Harold to turn the boys against each other.
- Mr. Krupp had a habit of making up rules and writing them in the rulebook, which ultimately led to his dismissal from the program. When Melvinborg expelled George and Harold for violating the rules in the same book, he was struck by bureaucracy due to the fact that the rules that were broken were unofficial and, therefore, the students did nothing wrong.
- Mr. Krupp overeats avocado, guacamole, salami, cheese, and goat milk in the TV Series.
- He uses the phrase "B-B-Bubba bobba hob-hobba-hobba wah-wah" when he is at a loss for words.
- Interestingly, his nephew Kipper says the same phrase in the ninth Captain Underpants book after he and his companions went insane after seeing Tippy Tinkletrousers and his enormous pants.
- He has inadvertently transformed himself three times into Captain Underpants. Once in Book 5, twice in The Heartbreaking Havoc of the Haunted Hack-A-Halloween, and once at the conclusion of the movie.
- Nevertheless, it is conceivable that he added two and two together and intentionally snapped.
- He, Captain Underpants, George, and Harold are the only characters to appear in every episode of The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants.
- As shown in the TV Series, he has no drivers license, however in the film, he does.
- Even though he is ignorant that he is Captain Underpants, he is splashed with water multiple times during a combat with an opponent. When this happens, Mr. Krupp gets angry and confused as to what is going on, where he is, and why he is out in public wearing his own curtains around his neck and in his underwear.
- He, Mr. Ree, and Mr. Meaner are the only three Jerome Horwitz Elementary School staff members that are known to have a sibling.

Melvin: (projects a hologram of a meteor) Or… I can pull a small meteor down from space… to smash it! Mr. Krupp: (laughs) Oh, meteor. Me likey. Melvin: (projects a hologram of a book of zoning laws) Or we can scour the local zoning laws for possible infractions. Mr. Krupp: Boring, and requires scouring.

Mr. Krupp: Oh!! (laughs then realizes something) Wait, what? (The meteor smashes Earth and destroys it, then the words 'The End' appear, but it's revealed it was just a hologram) Melvin: And that would pretty much end Earth, the fragile planet. Mr. Krupp: Well, nice demo there. Anyway… (chuckles nervously) Melvin: (displays pictures of a sinkhole and a zoning laws book separately) Yes, let's give it another try. Mr. Krupp: Okay.

| “ | Melvin: Sinkhole it is!

Mr. Krupp: Wait, what? (A sinkhole sucks up the houses in the neighbourhood. We pan out and the Earth sinks into itself and disappears, then words appear saying "The End", but it's revealed it was just a hologram) Melvin: And that would be the end of all life as we know it. Mr. Krupp: Hmm, lucky it was just a hologram then. Melvin: (displays pictures of a meteor and a zoning laws book separately) Yes, so it's time for a new choice. Mr. Krupp: Or an old choice. You know what they say: "Fool me once, fool me twice. Roll the dice, (snaps fingers) paradise". Melvin: No one says that. Mr. Krupp: Not to you. And that's enough talking. You snooze, you choose.

Mr. Krupp: Oh! I know those are words, I'm ju- I'm just not sure what they mean. Melvin: It means the tree house we want to eliminate hangs 13 inches over the neighbor's property. Mr. Krupp: Ooh, so he has to move? Melvin: (stares at Krupp with a weird look for a couple seconds) It means he owns the tree house too! It means he can sell it, to us! Mr. Krupp: Aha! And then we'll turn it into a bagel shop! Melvin: Uhh... we'll tear it down! Mr. Krupp: Oh-ho-ho-ho! That's even better. So what's this neighbor's name? |

Can you just skip to the end? Mr. Cleveland: No. (This made Krupp more mad) That tree and I go way back. |

| “ | Mr. Cleveland: And this is the tire swing that hung from that tree. That swing meant everything to me. I played with it every day. It made me who I am. The end. Mr. Krupp: Uh-huh, great story, but let's talk turkey. How much for your house so I can tear down that treehouse? Mr. Cleveland: One million dollars. Melvin: What? You'd be lucky to get half that in this market! Mr. Cleveland: It's not on the market. Mr. Krupp: All right. Righ-Righ-Righ-Right. So one mill... (stumbles) One millio... (stumbles again while writing and coughs nervously) One mi... (stumbles and coughs nervously yet again while messing up his writing) Uh-huh, okay. Hey, how about… just that 13 inches that hangs over your yard? How much for that? (This makes George and Harold, who are listening to all this, look very worried) Mr. Cleveland: Million and one. Mr. Krupp: Okay, then. One mi... (groans and stumbles once more as his eyes contorts) One mi... One mi... One mi... (exhales) One mill… uh.. (toots like a train, groans, and groans more as he writes on the check as his eyes water. He finally stops as he groans one more time) Melvin: Deal! Here's your money! (Hands Mr. Cleveland the check) Mr. Cleveland: Very well. Once the check clears, the house is yours. Mr. Krupp: (laughs nervously) Oh! It'll clear all right, because I have that kind of money in the bank! (panicked as he and Melvin enter his car) I don't have that kind of money in the bank! Melvin: So think of a way to make a million dollars and fast! Mr. Krupp: Got it! Autospoon 1000. It's a spoon that does the work of a spoon! Also, I've got a line on some buried treasure, so...

| ~ Mr. Krupp beating George and Harold to the Golden Dump, only to cause a cave in which causes them to lose the statue, and sends them both to detention in the "find buried treasure + fish bone" route. |
| “ | Mr. Krupp: Welcome to detention. George: Why are we in your office? Harold: And not the detention dungeon? Mr. Krupp: Because, the dungeon's being used to test the Autospoon 1000. Mr. Meaner: (in the detention dungeon with Ms. Anthrope, wearing a helmet and sitting in a wheelchair) What does this have to do with yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah spoons? Ms. Anthrope: I don't know. (Pulls a lever, which makes Meaner crash into the wall) Mr. Krupp: And, as soon as the kinks are worked out, the Autospoon is gonna make me the million dollars I need before midnight to pay for Mr. Cleveland's house! George: Wait, you don't already have a million dollars? Mr. Krupp: Did you not hear me? The Autospoon is money in the bank! As soon as people give me money to put it in the bank. (pause) And then Melvin will demolish your tree house. Harold: Melvin? He can't even lift a hammer. Mr. Krupp: Yeah, he's weak as a baby! (laughs) But, he used his Rejuvigator to turn old construction vehicles into Kungstruction Fu Kolossas! George: From our comic? How did you get our comic? Mr. Krupp: Because, Mr. Cleveland threw it at me when I went back there to renegotiate for 45 cents and 11 buttons. And now, Melvin's going to destroy your idea cave… with your idea! (laughs) Or he will as soon as he learns how to drive it. Melvin: (At the dump, trying to drive the Kungstruction Fu Kolossas) Ah, why are there so many buttons? (presses a button which makes the mech's arm move…) Yes! (…only to fall shortly after) Agh!! Stupid piece of junk! Harold: Really? I feel like Melvin's made a ton of robots before right? George: And he knew how to drive those. Mr. Krupp: The point is I win because you're stuck in here, and there's no escape! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat my lunch. (Leaves his office and sets off the office's security system (which looks a lot different from the one in the First Epic Movie), but realizes he forgot something) Oh! I left my lunch in there! Eh, don't eat my lunch! |

| ~ Mr. Krupp boasting about how he's won to George and Harold in his office after he tells him about what Melvin's been up to. |
| “ | Mr Krupp: Hi there. Spoons, they're hard. Am I right? I mean, how many times have you been eating soup and said "My arm hurts. I need a break."? Do you get pudding pain? I do. Oatmeal elbow? Got that too. Well, the spoons are to blame! And it's time to show them the floor! (Knocks all the spoons that were on the table on the floor) Welcome! I'm... (hears all the spoons scattering all over the floor and chuckles) Welco... (still hears the spoons) Okay. Welcome... (hears the spoons once more and starts getting impatient) Mm. Welcome... Oh! What? How many spoons were there? Welcome to the spoonolution, because this… (places his Autospoon on the table) is Autospoon 1000! And now, to demonstrate, please welcome its genius inventor, Benjamin Krupp! (Claps and goes offscreen to the left) (high pitched tone) Aw, thanks, Benny, it is a pleasure to work with someone so handsome and charming and single! (Goes back onscreen) (normal tone) Oh-ho-ho, no you didn't! You're so handsome and charming and single! (Laughs and goes offscreen again) (high pitched tone) No, you are! (Goes back onscreen again) (normal tone) You? Stop it! I am not as charming and single as you are! (George and Harold are seen watching this back and forth exchange on the TV's security camera in his office with bewildered looks on their faces) (high pitched tone) What? You are!! (Normal tone) No, you! You! (High pitched tone) You! (Normal tone) Ok, we both are. (High pitched tone) Why don't we dig in? (Normal tone) Great idea. Spoon appetite! (Turns the Autospoon on after placing some beans into it) (Laughs) Get in my mouth. (The spoon ends up going haywire and ends up getting beans all over his mouth) UGH, ENOUGH! (The spoon keeps going and stops, but after a couple seconds, it's about to go off again) Oh no! (The spoon goes even more crazy and ends up launching Krupp off and he ends up flying across the room) OH, MY SOUL!! | „ |

| “ | Mr. Krupp: (fully recovered from his Autospoon incident, enters his office after turning off his security system) Hey, where is my desk? (Sees his desk flipped over after George and Harold used it as a bobsled) Wha?! And how did that bobsled get in here?! George: Perfect timing. Harold: Yep. (He and George snap their fingers, turning Krupp into Captain Underpants again) |

(Gets up and walks furiously towards a beaten up Melvin) And WHY is the treehouse STILL THERE, MELVIN?! Ugh, never mind! I'LL get rid of it MYSELF! (Walks over to the treehouse, but is stopped by Mr. Cleveland/Viper Chai who pinches his neck) Oh, no! Lights going out… Ugh… (falls unconscious) | „ |
