Cube      I've seen this mustachio'd version somewhere before. But where? When? And WHY?
Inspector Gadget was a real role model for kids back in the day.

badideasinaction The one thing I remember from the moustached Inspector Gadget was that he was slightly less oblivious than the clean-shaven one. Like was actually able to recognize an obviously disguised bomb or something in an episode I saw. Only remember one ep like that though, and apparently it was significant enough that, 20 years later, it still sticks out.
And wow, the wikipedia page for the show is great - it practically gives a flowchart for the entire show. Go go Gadget obsessive fandom...

Caminante Nocturno     They probably would have had to write him as a completely different character had they left the mustache on.
|
Smellvin      This show and William Shatner are the only good things to ever come out of Canada.

HarrietTubmanPI      At what point did they decide the mustache was inappropriate for children?
|
|
dead_cat The clean-shaven Gadget looked like a more believable bumbler.
|
boner Inspector Borat?
Probably just cheaper not to draw a mustache.
|
FABIO2 Wow, someone's still in high school.
|
TinManic     it makes him look too european.

Brautwurst_Barbarian     That is a powerful mustache.
If I grew up with Inspector Gadget having that 'stache, I'd have had a good male role model.
|
rustedmutt      I thought I hallucinated this when I was a kid...
|
Maggot Brain      He looks so much cooler with the Mustache.
|
Camonk Try to imagine a truly incompetent guy with a mustache like that. Try it, I dare you.
You can't.

Unmerciful Crushing Force Hell, even in the intro, he just seems to be far more hardcore. Like actually doing shit.
Of course, I think that the creators realized that the only way it could end with the mustached version is Gadget breaking into MAD's headquarters, planting radio-controlled mines around the complex and then go-go-gadget-headcapping Dr. Claw.

Rodents of Unusual Size      I used to covet the hell out of Penny's computer book when I was six.

bopeton      At 0:45, the bird pops him and he's completely gone, not just his coat.
Horrifying. It's like a snuff film.
|
Nikon      I looked online and found out what Dr. Claw actually looked like. Don't make that mistake as it's anticlimactic as all hell. Your imagination is much better than his character design.

dead_cat For those who never found out, Claw turned out to be just some guy with Crazy Eyes.
