Buzzo is the leader of the Joy Boys and a major antagonist in LISA: THE PAINFUL, seemingly having taken interest in Brad. Buzzo also confronts Brad on many occasions. He is a mysterious warlord who is heavily involved in Olathe's Joy trade and offers Joy to Brad on many occasions.

Appearance[]

Buzzo is a blonde balding male who has a shaved head.

He has war paint—one black line on each of his cheeks. His facial features include a rectangular pink nose, red lips, and a prominent cleft chin.

His outfit consist of: black pants cinched with a belt, bold red spiky shoulder pads, and matching red wristbands. Atop his head, he wears a black helmet with a single, spike. His bare chest is crossed by a brown strap and he wields a bloody machete.

He is usually senn with a creepy, wide grin, revealing a toothy smirk.

His story[]

When Buzzo and Lisa were young, Lisa would sneak out of the house at night to escape the oppressive environment, where she eventually met Bernard. Bernard grew to love Lisa, who she both loved and abused, convincing him to use a buzzsaw to mutilate various neighborhood animals. Eventually she forces Bernard to mutilate her, in hopes that her defaced appearance would negate Marty's interest in her. However, Marty's sexual abuse continues, and it is implied that Brad is also complicit in the abuse, albeit unwillingly. Eventually, Bernard, now called "Buzzo" for his deeds, refuses to continue mutilating Lisa. Lisa, unable to stand Marty's abuse and rape any longer, commits suicide by hanging herself. Buzzo blames only Brad for Lisa's demise. Following her suicide, Buzzo then mutilates the face of Brad's at-the-time adoptive son, Dustin, with a buzz saw.

Sometime before or after the White Flash, Buzzo was employed by Dr. Yado, where Buzzo then formed a gang and began to spread Joy across Olathe to satisfy Yado's perverse fantasies of creating a world filled with Joy mutants. During this time, Buzzo also vents his frustrations on Brad; taunting his joy addiction and putting Buddy's life at risk simply to make him suffer. He also proposes ultimatums to Brad; firstly forcing him to choose between losing a Party Member, or losing a limb. He later forces him to choose once again, this time between Buddy losing a nipple, losing three Party Members, or to say, "Neither, I'll kill you." Choosing this dialogue will prompt Buzzo to claim that "That was really dumb", as well as an unwinnable battle. For his final ultimatum, Buzzo forces Brad to finally choose between losing a limb (or another one, depending on an earlier choice) or losing all of his belongings, though this time is also presented with the additional option to ask, "Why are you doing this?". Choosing this option is even more unforgiving, as it opens with Buzzo saying, "Here's your fucking answer, murderer." He then merges the two previous choices, cutting Brad's arm off, and taking all of his belongings. Both Yado and Buzzo ultimately succeeded in their plan, with much of Olathe being killed in the war, killed by Joy mutants, or mutating themselves. Having now served his purpose, Yado casts Buzzo and what little remains of his gang aside to act as the sole ruler of his new world.

As LISA: THE JOYFUL begins, Buzzo saves Buddy from mutant Brad and takes him away to a cave, yet is left unsure what to do with the broken shell of the man he has despised his whole life. Without his gang and without orders from Yado, Buzzo secludes himself in a small cave with his captive Brad and eventually comes to the conclusion that what he has done is evil. Determined to atone for his actions, Buzzo swoops in as Buddy begins her confrontation with Yado, saving her from Sweetheart and urging her to pursue Yado. After Buddy's battle, Buzzo hurls a sword towards Yado as he begins to verbally confront her, knocking him backwards into a pit. After a brief dialogue with Buddy, wherein he acknowledges that Brad was a good man who truly loved her, Buzzo begins to mutate from joy use, becoming an enormous mutant before Buddy's eyes. Even in his Joy-addled state, Buzzo is able to thank Buddy for freeing him as he dies.

Notes[]

  • When taking a party member in trade for one of Brad's limbs, even if Brad's party is empty, Buzzo will force your last party members into your party to take from. Due to Fardy Hernandez, Percy Monsoon and possibly Terry Hintz being required members, he will always have someone to take. If the game is hacked to have no party members at the point of sacrifice, the spot will be empty.
    • Should the player have less than 3 alive recruited party members, there will be an empty spot for every missing teammate during Buzzo's second forced choice. Through intentionally losing party members (or extreme misfortune), one may experience having to choose between cutting Buddy's nipple or shooting thin air. This can easily be achieved by forcing your party members to play at the roulette before the said encounter.
  • When asking Brad to take a tough decision, the first time he will demand the second Party member of the group and the fourth the second time.
  • If Brad chooses to have three Party Members killed rather than having Buddy lose a nipple, Buzzo will tell him he is disgusting, and asks again. If Brad still chooses to have his Party killed, then he will tell Brad that he makes him feel sick and that he couldn't think he could sink any lower. He then reluctantly gives the order to kill Brad's party.
  • In LISA: THE PAINFUL, it's almost impossible to fight Buzzo due to his immense plot armor, so don't take the decision to kill Buzzo. Even if you do manage to kill him, a game over will occur due to the fight being intended as impossible.
    • If you do manage to defeat Buzzo, before the game over screen he will say "I'll end this world now". In response to this, Dingaling himself has stated "As far as Buzzo's dialogue goes? He speaks 50% truth 50% ego". This may suggest that Buzzo holds immense, world ending power himself or controls a tool that can be used to end the world at his whim, or he may have just ended the world by killing Buddy.
  • If Brad sacrifices his arm for Buzzo's first choice, then Buzzo will be seen wearing Brad's arm on his head during his second choice.

Trivia[]

  • Lisa gave Bernard the name Buzzo. [1]
  • Buzzo's laugh is actually a dolphin's squeal, slowed down by 50% with a low pitch
  • Buzzo's real name is Bernard.
  • Buzzo doesn't wear lipstick, his lips are just naturally red. [2]
  • As a kid, he resembled Picky from Earthbound.
  • Buzzo attended Brad's karate class before Dustin joined.
    • He is seen wearing a green belt during a lineup with the other students, suggesting that he was the most advanced and/or well-trained out of them all.
  • Buzzo mentions that Buddy would have been "a huge asset with the women." This could suggest that maybe Buddy isn't the last girl alive.
  • The song that Buzzo hums and sings is "I've Got The Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy", a popular Christian song often sung around campfires and during scouting events. The song was written by George Willis Cooke (23 April 1848 - 30 April 1923).
  • Many members of Buzzo's gang have lost one or both of their arms, most likely removed by Buzzo himself.
  • In LISA: The Joyful there's a cave with a joy lab found during the completion of the "The Source" achievement, which contains lots of joy and empty bottles, presumably alcohol. This is implied to be Buzzo's hideout. Notably, there is a coffin and a note clearly meant to be addressed to Lisa. The coffin likely contains Lisa's corpse.
  • During one of the possible post-ending dialogues in LISA: The Joyful, Bernard uses a buzzsaw to sever the paw of an unknown animal at Lisa's request. Afterwards, Lisa requests that he mutilate her using the saw so that Marty won't be attracted to her any longer. After hesitance and Lisa's manipulation, he gives in and does as asked. After this event (and presumably many others,) Lisa gives Bernard the nickname "Buzzo".
    • Buzzo also used a buzzsaw to mutilate the face of Dusty during his rampage in Brad's dojo.
  • Lisa was "superior" to Buzzo. [3]
  • Buzzo is of European descent. [4]
  • Lisa both loved and used Bernard. [5]
  • Dingaling has said that the reason Buzzo doesn't have a bio in the art book is because he's classified. [6]
  • Buzzo tried to have good times with Lisa, but she had her own version of "good times." [7]
  • Though Buzzo is noticeably younger than Brad, he is balding.[8]
  • When Buzzo his standing his belt is brown, but when crouching it's red.
  • While not intended to be seen as the menu is disabled, Buzzo has his own party member data in Joyful. Or at least that's what it seems, as he amusingly writes over Terry's party member slot in the Actors data of Joyful. It's unknown why, but it's recommended you try to imagine Buzzo doing all of Terry's mannerisms yourself.
