The Most Vicious Man In History.
Physically identified by his inhumanly huge forearms (and possibly, calf muscles), squinty eye, pipe-smoking habit, and incessant mumbling and mispronunciation of words, this cartoon/comic strip sailor from many years ago is typically found fighting anyone from his rival "Bluto", to Sinbad the sailor himself, for the affection of the possibly anorexic and incredibly small-breasted "Olive Oyl".

Best known for his fondness of a certain green leafy vegetable, Popeye (already a fairly rough and tough individual) has been known to increase in strength, agility, speed, and nearly every other positive physical attribute as a result of his eating of Spinach. Also, inexplicably, upon the consumption of said Spinach, songs such as "Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue" and certain other notable pieces of classic patriotic music tend to play out of nowhere, along with a small portrait of a turbine engine, piston, or cannon firing being strangely superimposed over Popeye's bicep.

Should you ever be in a situation where you have offended/attacked/are caught in a barfight with Popeye, and must defend yourself, restrict his spinach consumption at all costs. If this is impossible, your only option is to run. For the love of God, just turn and run, because as soon as you hear that music start playing, it's too late. What is that? What is that song!? Oh God, he's heard me! Oh my God, not that, no Popeye, noooaaaaaaieeeee-

I 'yam what I 'yam, and that's all that I 'yam! -Popeye
"I'm strong to the finish, 'cause I eat's me spinach... I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!" -Popeye

popeye by joyrock September 9, 2003
Now discontinued cartoon from the forties and fifties about an oddly proportioned american sailor who constantly got into fights, where he was the underdog. He would, at a pivotal point, consume spinach, and become immediatley brawnier as a result. Immensely popular, and famed for his arch-enemy bluto, girlfriend Olive Oil, and his ridiculously large biceps. He also had one squinted eye, one that protruded, a speech impediment, a pipe, and incoherant ramblings that he would use to amuse himself.


The cartoon was a vector to get kids eating more greens so the could grow up to be just like him.

A fucked up cartoon that showed that whenever you eat a can of spinach, you get big honkin bazooka muscles and you can kick major ass. Was kinda nice to watch as a kid though.
