McGucket is the local kook, and is, as the title implies, mildly senile. However, it is shown that he is quite intelligent, and has the ability to create giant mechanical contraptions. This plays into his insanity, as he uses them for things like getting attention from his son, revenge against an old colleague for not coming to his retirement party, etc. He can seem to be a bit depressed at times, but this is only for brief moments. Instead, he's usually optimistic and occasionally even helpful. He usually enjoys dancing ridiculously and making up odd words and phrases. (e.g. scrapadoodle, smitheroons, donkey spittle, shim-sham, etc.). Some time after he regained his memories, McGucket's sane side has become a bigger part of his personality; his kookiness is more of a trait, which he sometimes uses to cover up his returning sanity. When he was younger, McGucket was highly religious and superstitious, being known to cross himself after walking over graves, and chastising Ford every time he says "What the devil!".
