What nickname is used for Arthur Hobbs, Marshall's boss?

The story behind the answer

Arthur Hobbs, Marshall’s boss, is nicknamed “Artillery Arthur.” The name comes from his notorious habit of screaming at employees, making it a humorous description of his management style rather than a formal title.

Arthur is played by Bob Odenkirk and appears as a boss first at Nicholson, Hewitt & West, where Marshall works, and later at Goliath National Bank. His explosive temper makes him one of the show’s memorable workplace figures, especially when Marshall must navigate the gap between professional loyalty and Arthur’s intimidating behavior.

The other options are easy to associate with the series but belong elsewhere. Sandy Rivers is a television journalist and Robin’s colleague, while “Big Fudge” is Marshall’s nickname. Arthur’s dog has a separate name, Tugboat, which is why it should not be confused with Arthur’s own nickname.
