'''Charles/Chuck Ruttheimer III''', known as '''Upchuck''', is a student at [[Lawndale High]], in [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]]'s class. He is largely known for his buffoon-like attempts to engender female interest. The nickname "Upchuck" is, obviously, a reference to his repulsive manner.
In the script for "[[The Invitation]]", he is described as "the least popular person at the party, besides Daria and Jane. This is due to his large ears, bad haircut, and the fact that he is really quite annoying".
==Character Overview==
Line 63 ⟶ 65:
* [[Anne D. Bernstein]] created the character.
* In his first appearance, he called himself "Chuck Ruttheimer". Later episodes - and most fanfiction - have gone with "Charles" instead.
* The only time Charles was ever successful at "picking up" a girl was in the ''Daria'' movie finale, ''[[Is It College Yet?]]'' In the final scene of the movie, he tried one of his suave pick-up lines on fellow student [[Andrea]], and she nonchalantly accepted. He seemed very surprised, but took advantage of the opportunity right away. This was unusual on Andrea's part, considering her comment to him in ''[[Fair Enough]]'': "Don't touch me, you Howdy-Doody-looking creep."
* He was one of only two characters on the show with an actual catch phrase, in the traditional sense of the word. (The other was [[Jake Morgendorffer]], whose catch phrase was "Dammit!"/"Gaddammit!"). Other characters had recurring mannerisms (i.e. Tiffany's slowed speech and easy distraction, Mr. O'Neill's frightened squeals).
