Benjamin Buford Fontaine III



Benjamin Buford Fontaine III, or BBF for short, is a wealthy Southern businessman with an eye for making money. Tony hates him and calls him "evil Colonel Sanders".

Characteristics of a BBF call include his drawling Southern accent, and repeated "YEEEEAS". He would often mention riding around his hot-air balloons and giving orders to his manservent Nigglesworth.

Philanthropy
In the beginning, BBF sought to purchase TonyTalk from Tony. Tony didn't budge. Annoyed, BBF hacked Tony's show, causing mayhem, with Rico and Jesco joining the fun. This stunt almost had Tony quit the show entirely until he finally wrestled control back.

Upset at being unable to acquire TonyTalk, BBF decided to enrich Tony's enemies:
 * Johnny Longfeather was getting a casino and cheeseburger emporium, which also had a facial surgery clinic.
 * Jesco acquired his local power company, now called Jesco White Power Company.
 * Kent Hopper received a large donation and got a cafe: Kent's Kool Kafe. Tony was not amused by the acronym.

For Rico, he had a music contract penned and certified. Rico's career as an All-American country musician could begin with earnest, with the songs previewed on TonyTalk (usually against Tony's will). However, Rico's foul language and repeated mention of dick-suck offended BBF, who cast Rico out. Rico got his revenge by spray-painting penises on BBF's luxury cars.

Nigglesworth
BBF has an manservent named Nigel F. Nigglesworth, whose name still perturbs Tony. Nigglesworth is a master butler, with skills in hacking, cleaning, gardening, flying aircraft, driving, guitarist, bodyguard, and business. Nigglesworth and DCII have teamed up to work on Niggleribs, a restaurant for soul food and ribs.

Nigglesworth has yet to make an appearance on TonyTalk.

Death
In August of 2019, BBF called Tony during a meal. The chicken, however, was under-cooked. BBF then proceeded to have a heart attack live on the air. Tony was hesitant to believe it until Jaybo got the confirmation: BBF had passed away.

Fontaine's funeral was craziness incarnate. DCII, Jaybo, and Alfonso gave eyewitness testimony to the insanity:
 * Johnny Longfeather was on stage, singing Ave Maria whilst urinating behind the casket.
 * Alfonso had passionate gay sex with Joseph Gibson by the fountain.
 * DCII's dog Mitch was drinking and smoking cigarettes as usual.
 * Kenneth Fishman took a shit in his helmet and wore it.

The craziest funeral anecdote was that Nigglesworth walked BBF's corpse into his mansion, which then exploded. Out from the dust emerged impersonators of BBF and Nigglesworth. Don has talked to them and has said that they are cool dudes.

Impersonator
A few shows after Tony's not-so-tearful BBF tribute show, the BBF impersonator called in. He introduced himself as Randolph Reginald Mantooth IV. Tony did not buy it and believes that BBF faked his death. Jesco figured that it might be BBF's brother.

Recently a new caller carrying the torch of Fontaine has called into the show. This person goes by the name of Niggleton Jones, a name that offends Tony as much as Nigglesworth. However, Tony was not fooled by the impersonator and insists that the caller was BBF. It did not help that Niggleton plugged Fontaine Enterprises. Niggleton Jones is a pastor and a minister: a pinister. Kenneth Fishman denies ordaining Niggleton, whereas Don sticks up for his black brotha.

Even in death BBF continues to torment Tony.
