Within two years, Mondo Burger's going to be the biggest burger chain on this planet!
~ Kurt's most famous quote.
You mess with Kurt, and you go into the grinder.
~ Kurt's catchphrase.

Kurt Bozwell, also known as The Mondo Idiot, is the main antagonist of Nickelodeon's 2nd feature film Good Burger, and the overarching antagonist of its 2023 sequel.

He is the nefarious owner and manager of Mondo Burger and the arch-nemesis of both Ed and Dexter.

His goal is to put Good Burger out of business and make Mondo Burger the #1 fast food chain on Earth.

He was portrayed by Jan Schweiterman in his first villainous role.

Personality[]

Kurt Bozwell is best described as rude, egotistical, arrogant, aloof, heartless and selfish. He throws a whole lot of insults, boasts and slam-downs to just about everyone. Kurt is also extremely abusive to his Mondo employees, as he insists that their lives now revolve around Mondo Burger, and that he essentially owns them, he has no friends at all, minus his two minions, Troy and Griffin, and only cares about himself, and he will stop at nothing to put Good Burger out of business. Kurt uses the illegal chemical Triampathol to make his burgers big and enormous.

He states that he doesn't know what side effects his burger-growth chemicals have on customers, nor does he care. Thus he has no regard for the well-being of his Mondo customers—only for the money and popularity they give to his restaurant. He crosses the line when he drops shark poison into Ed's sauce, not caring at all that it would severely harm or even kill several innocent people.

All in all, Kurt's greed and obsession of his restaurant being #1 even if he had to do illegal things to make it happen, leads to his restaurant's downfall as well as his own.

Biography[]

In an attempt to pay for the damages he'd done to his teacher's car, Dexter Reed (one of the main protagonists of the film) tries to work for Kurt at Mondo Burger, but Kurt fired Dexter for horsing around, so Dexter decided to go working for Good Burger. Initially Mondo Burger with its flashy futuristic decor and burgers that are 2x the size of Good Burgers, but go for the same price, dominates, putting Good Burger in danger of going out of business, much to Kurt's delight.

However, Good Burger manages to regain business due to a new sauce created by Dexter's friend Ed (the other protagonist), keeping the two restaurants evenly matched, much to Kurt's dismay. Figuring that Good Burger won't stand a chance if Mondo Burger has burgers 3x the size of Good Burgers and Ed's sauce, Kurt attempts to steal the recipe first by offering Ed a job at Mondo Burger for higher wages, to which Ed declines, and second by trying to get one of his employees Roxanne to seduce Ed to reveal the sauce recipe, which only results in Ed unwittingly injuring her, and her quitting her job, having failed to get the recipe.

Dexter and Ed later sense that something is wrong with Mondo Burgers after they attempt to feed a dog both a Mondo Burger and a Good Burger, and the dog ignores the Mondo Burger, but devours the smaller Good Burger. Suspicious about this, the two disguise themselves as old women and sneak over to Mondo Burger, where they find out that Kurt is using an illegal chemical called Triampathol to make the burgers grow, and cares nothing about what it might do to his customers. They attempt to inform the authorities, but Kurt (having spotted them through their disguises) has his henchmen Troy and Griffin admit the two into the Demented Hills asylum to prevent them from spilling the beans about the illegal chemical.

Later, Kurt decides that if he can't have Ed's sauce, no one can. That night, he and his cohorts sneak into Good Burger and spike Ed's sauce with shark poison when Otis, the elderly employee at Good Burger, catches them in the act. Kurt explains that his shark poison will put Good Burger out of business once several customers get food poisoning by the next day so that Mondo Burger will be the sole burger joint in town. He then has Otis admitted to the asylum as well, after he attempts to call the police.

However, Dexter, Ed and Otis manage to escape Demented Hills and arrive just in time to stop any customers from eating the contaminated sauce. They warn the staff of Good Burger about Kurt's attempted sabotage, and alert them to call the police. Dexter and Ed then head over to Mondo Burger to get a hold of one of Kurt's Triampathol canisters, planning to turn it over to the authorities. While Dexter distracts Kurt and his goons, Ed sneaks over to grab a Triampathol canister. As Ed reaches for a can, he accidentally knocks one over and it falls in the meat vat, spilling the illegal chemical into it. This gives him an idea, and he grabs another can and purposefully pours all its contents into Mondo Burger's meat supply.

As Kurt and his goons corner Dexter, Ed shows up with a can. Kurt takes it back, and laughs at Ed for attempting to steal an empty can. Ed then snidely tells a confused Dexter the can wasn't empty when he found it. Meanwhile, the burgers go through the grill, and come out even more enormous than before, and then they start to explode from an overdose of the Triampathol. This causes the restaurant to shake violently, and the customers and staff flee from the scene. Kurt, Troy and Griffin try to shut down the grill, but one of the enormous burgers explodes in their faces, causing them to flee with the others while the restaurant undergoes extreme damage as it collapses.

The scene then attracts a number of policemen and firemen, where they find the Triampathol induced in the remaining Mondo burgers, thus exposing Kurt's true colors. Kurt is arrested while Troy and Griffin are questioned by other policemen. After Ed and Dexter confessed to Kurt's use of the illegal food additives to make the burgers big and beefy, Kurt, desperately attempting to save face, yells they are lying. However, one of the officers, who already found the remaining Triampathol canisters, tells him, "Yeah? Well, why don't we just check these out, and we'll see who's lying?"

As the cops lead a humiliated Kurt away and place him in the back of a police car, Dexter and Ed taunt him with "Hey, hey, remember: when you mess with Good Burger... you go in the grinder!"

Ed later explains to Dexter that their original plan of taking a can of the chemical to the authorities wouldn't have solved anything, as Kurt would've been able to destroy further evidence, hire fancy attorneys to dispute any charges against him, and manipulate the legal system to the point that he probably would've gotten off scott-free, so Ed took matters into his own hands and let Mondo Burger be hoist by its own petard.

Thus with Mondo Burger shut down, Ed and Dexter are praised as heroes for saving Good Burger and ending the menace.

Kurt was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in jail for his crimes.

In the sequel, Good Burger 2, it is revealed that he has a younger sister named Katt, who sought revenge for his imprisonment, but ultimately failed.

Trivia[]

  • In his review of the movie, the Nostalgia Critic made several jokes about how unrealistically seriously Kurt was taking his job by, during his generic evil rants, cutting back and forth to a clip of Adolf Hitler talking to his followers and adding subtitles to make it seem like he was ranting about creating a "fast food master race".
  • He does not appear physically in Good Burger 2. He is however mentioned and appears in several mugshots after his sister Katt reveals herself to be related to him.
