Characters / Exploding TNT

Characters in ExplodingTNT videos: Note: this is a work in progress!!

Exploding TNT

• Affectionate Nickname: Purple Shep calls him "Uncle Mouse Man" despite not being a brother to Pink Sheep.
• Author Avatar: Appears in all of his Machinimas as a major character.
• Butt-Monkey: He's commonly forced by Pink Sheep and the Pink Dude to continue making the Weird Comments Videos. Pink Sheep and the others also tend to bully or torture him in some way or another.
• Funny Animal: An anthropomorphic mouse shaped like a Minecraft player.
• Made of Explodium: As the name implies.
• Nice Guy: While he has his fair share of jerkish moments, he's a saint when compared to the likes of Pink Sheep, and treats people around him with respect.
• Rodents of Unusual Size: although he is considered a mouse, he's the size of a normal Minecraft character.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Cheese, if only to go along with the belief that he is a mouse. He's fond of pizza as well.

Failboat

• Affectionate Nickname: Purple Shep calls him "Uncle Failboot."
• Butt-Monkey: To Purple Shep. Purple Shep has interrupted and occasionally destroyed progress on Failboat's activities (and the walls of some of his houses, even putting poop in the refrigerator).
• Dreadful Musician: His Running Gag involves his very painful singing.

Notch

• The Caligula: he’s the owner of Minecraft who provides updates for players. And he adds stupid updates that he thinks are great causing the players to suffer and have a hard time playing Minecraft. On top of that, if players have a problem with the updates and go to him to complain, he dumps them into a lava pit trap. He even took away the daytime in Minecraft once, all because the sun gave him a sunburn.
• Corrupt Politician: he is the owner of Minecraft with the power to remove and make updates and tends to be easily bribed by dead bushes and ink sacs in exchange to make a ridiculous updates that seems to effect the players way of playing the game.

Herobrine

• The Bully: Been a bully to Notch since childhood.

Pink Sheep

• Abusive Parents: Pink Sheep has been extremely rude and mean to Purple Shep in a number of ways. Pink Sheep calls him ugly (even if his face is truly messed up), killed him in a video on Super Minecraft Maker, laughed at him when he does something very stupid, and overall, Pink Sheep refused to love Purple Shep.
• Affectionate Nickname: Referred to as Daddy Pink Sheep by Purple Shep.
• Animate Inanimate Object: Pink Sheep claims to have a mustache which can do a variety of things.
• Ambiguous Gender Identity: Pink Sheep claims to be "Other." Yet Pink Sheep is a father, has a mustache, and both wives are female (The Ender Dragon and Crystal Sheep). Purple Shep even refers to Pink Sheep by daddy.
• Berserk Button: Insult Pink Sheep, the Prankster Gangster Nation, or anything pertaining to Pink Sheep will cause Pink Sheep (and the fans) to get fired up and promptly attempt to deal with you.
  Pink Sheep: HATER ALERT! HATER ALERT!
• Extreme Libido: Pink Sheep's early personality was an exaggerated Extreme Omnisexual pervert.
• Extreme Omnisexual: His early personality was an extreme pervert willing to hit on anyone else, especially Herobrine.
• Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action: For some reason, he was able to reproduce offspring with the Enderdragon.
• Jerkass: Pink Sheep is shown to be very rude, even crossing over into bully territory.
• Narcissist: Pink Sheep commonly brags about himself being the best pvp player ever (despite having lost several games). He also brags about other stuff, like the best mustache, the most handsome sheep, etc.
• Really 700 Years Old: He's apparently old enough to remember Leonardo da Vinci and visit North America before Christopher Columbus...though, mind you, it's the same guy who claimed the world was black-and-white in the past.
• Ridiculously Animal Robot: Pink Sheep's actually a robot that looks and acts like a sheep mob.
• Sore Loser: Pink Sheep often rages whenever he loses (or even knows it will happen), even calling out players for hacking or using a bot. In his slither.io gameplay, Pink Sheep intentionally edited the screen to look like the internet is having errors, even blaming Purple Shep for causing it.
• Synthetic Voice Actor: Uses a stereotypical "Paul" text-to-chat voice. The first instance of this voice is in "Herobrine vs. Pink Sheep".
  • There is actually one video before it (If Herobrine took a Shower) in which he speaks, but it's a different voice entirely.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Doritos and Mountain Dew.
• Vague Age: From Pink Sheep's claims it can be determined that he is hundreds of years old, but when he actually tells ExplodingTNT his real age (which takes him several days), all of it is bleeped out.

Purple Shep

• Affectionate Nickname: Gives a lot of these to others.
  • ExplodingTNT is called Uncle Mouseman despite not being related.
  • Pink Sheep is called Daddy Pink Sheep.
  • The Ender Dragon is called Mommy Ender Dragon.
  • FailBoat is called Uncle Failboot.
• Berserk Button: Don't say toasters are stupid while he's around. He'll call the Ender Dragon and she will kill you.^note Mostly for the sake of killing players
• Beware the Silly Ones: While he may be stupid, he has double-subverted a jumpscare by initially displaying Red from Angry Birds as the subverted jumpscare followed by an actual jumpscare.
  • He also pranked Pink Sheep by retexturing the top of the tnt to look like sandstone, and the entire world was actually tnt instead of sandstone. So what looked like 2 pieces of TNT was actually, well, infinite.
• Catchphrase: "Oh golly!"
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: His discussions and other mannerisms are often laughably nonsensical.
• The Ditz: Probably the single dumbest character in the series.
• Made of Iron: Purple Shep is capable of banging his head on an anvil without reacting in pain or his face bruising up.
• Mix-and-Match Critters: He's a deformed sheep-Ender Dragon hybrid.
• Running Gag: Purple Shep constantly mentions toasters and sticking his head into one. Even other characters mention it.
• Sweet Sheep: Well, a sweet sheep-dragon hyprid.
• Synthetic Voice Actor: Like Pink sheep, Purple Shep has an automated voice, found here under "Will (FromAfar)". He uses his right from his first appearance in part 2 of "If the Dragon Egg Hatched in Minecraft".
• Third Person Shep: He nigh-invariably speaks of himself this way in his own videos.
• Too Dumb to Live: Purple Shep has done a lot of things that has either gotten him killed, or even stuff like, turning the lava into obsidian in Skyblock.
• Took a Level in Badass: Purple Shep has managed to do a 360 no-scope. Granted, it took him many attempts. Though then again, he is a mentally disabled sheep-dragon hybrid.

Crystal Sheep
