Season 1
Villains
The Bliblies
The Bliblies
Voiced by: Nick Wolfhard
A species of highly aggressive tiny pinkish purple characters that are a rather dangerous pest in the world of Smiling Friends. There was an infestation of them in the Smiling Friends office.
- Always Chaotic Evil: The Bliblies go around causing mass mayhem and destruction wherever they go, for seemingly no reason whatsoever. To hammer home how evil they are, they make a cameo appearance in the season 1 finale, showing up in Hell as little demons and torturing Charlie.
- An Arm and a Leg: A mousetrap can cleanly sever one of their grubby little hands.
- Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Averted. The initial bliblie shanks one of its brethren over the decapitated head of a third.
- Ax-Crazy: They're all a bunch of tiny anarchists, especially the one that stole Alan's cheese.
- Back for the Finale: Several red Bliblies show up in Hell in the first season finale.
- Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: One can be seen running around with a Cartoon Bomb in its hand.
- Lilliputians: They're humanoid and roughly small enough to shove into a coffee cup. It's worth noting that Zach Hadel has a known obsession with creating hypothetical scenarios about tiny beings that terrorize people.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": They immediately stop their rioting and stare in frozen horror after Desmond shoots the first Bliblie with his gun, reducing its head into a red smear on the floor.
- Motor Mouth: They gibber constantly, very quickly, and all the time.
- Only a Flesh Wound. The first bliblie fares the loss of its hand pretty well.
- Pokémon Speak: They mostly just blather "blib", "glib", and variations of.
- Purple Is Powerful/Psycho Pink: They're a purple/pink color and are quite the threat when in numbers, and are aggressive to the point of killing each other.
- Sinister Shiv: The initial bliblie fashioned one from Alan's missing paperclip.
- Starter Villain: The first antagonistic characters the Smiling Friends have to deal with.
- The Swarm: Complete with hatching out of a giant coccoon. There are thousands, if not millions, more than enough for a literal wave of them.
- Trail of Blood: The dismembered bliblie inadvertently provides one for Alan.
- Weak, but Skilled: They know how to fashion spears and build a crucifix a hundred times their own size, yet you can easily shoot 'em, stab 'em, smash 'em, set 'em on fire...
- Your Head A-Splode: Desmond shoots the charging bliblie point plank in the face.
- Zerg Rush: Their main form of attack.
Rex
Rex
"Congratulations, you're the new Mr. Frog."
Voiced by: Michael Cusack
The executive producer and announcer of The Mr. Frog Show.
- Asshole Victim: He's an obnoxious, meddling executive. Mr. Frog eating him is applauded by the crowd.
- Bad Boss: He's extraordinarily abusive to his employees.
- Character Catchphrase: The words "Toxic" and "Aggressive".
- Control Freak: From his very first scene and callous attitude, it's pretty obvious that Rex is a caricature of every stereotypically controlling TV producer, to the point where he hires Glep based on his audacious spitting and gives him the usual opportunity smooth-talk to entice him, only in the next scene to tell him to cut it out because it's "toxic". While he might have a point here, it loses water immediately as he also shoots down Glep's enthusiastic rehearsal twice, even slapping him over it because "It's too aggressive and frog-esque", to which Glep gives a dull and apathetic performance, to his satisfaction.
- Dramatically Missing the Point: He fails to realize that the reason everyone turned against Mr. Frog was not because of his behavior on the show, but his behavior outside the show, like trying to eat someone, choking people, and saying racist things. He ends up making the new Mr. Frog free of any he considers “toxic” (such as Glep’s spitting, that everyone on the show loved) and ends up making a very boring show that the audience hates.
- Eaten Alive: He's graphically eaten alive by Mr. Frog.
- Executive Meddling: An In-Universe example. Once Glep is hired as Mr. Frog's replacement, Rex forces him to change his act, believing it's too similar to Mr. Frog, despite everyone else finding it hilarious and it being the reason he hired Glep in the first place.
- Hate Sink: He's obnoxious, egotistical, contradictory, and has no redeeming qualities to speak of. The fact that literally everyone approved of his demise at Mr. Frog's hands (who himself was on the verge of his career being completely over with due to the controversial actions he had committed through the episode) shows that he didn't have many, if any friends at all.
- Hypocrite: He rightfully considers Mr. Frog to be a toxic person, but he's not that much better than Mr. Frog himself, as he's an arrogant, tyrannical, mean-spirited jerk and a poor boss.
- Jerkass: He's an arrogant douchebag who becomes abusive towards Glep.
- Just Desserts: After yet another verbal attack on Mr. Frog, the amphibian quickly gobbles Rex up to the delight of the live auidence.
- Karmic Death: Eaten alive by his former client.
- Kick the Dog: After the writers meeting, he not-so-subtly intimidates Glep to not spit anymore, saying that it'll ruin his career and make everyone hate him, then during the rehearsal, he hits Glep with a rolled up copy of the script when he keeps doing "toxic" things.
- Knight Templar: He constantly accuses Mr. Frog of being a toxic person and attacks him for such, even though his own behavior is almost as terrible.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: He thinks his changes to The Mr. Frog Show will save it. He's immediately proven wrong when the audience starts booing at the live filming of the new episode.
- Mean Boss: If his tyrannical, overly critical behavior towards Glep when he becomes Mr. Frog's temporary replacement is any indicator, he's not a very pleasant person to work under.
- Meaningful Name: Rex is latin for "king", fitting for a man who demands absolute control over his company and employees. It can also invoke the Tyrannosaurus rex, which, given that part of the first half of it's name means "Tyrant" is also an apt descripition of his behavior.
- Never My Fault: Implied. He's quick to accuse Mr. Frog of having a toxic personality, but given the uneccessarily stressful conditions he subjected Glep to on his first day of filming, it's not hard to imagine why Mr. Frog might have gone off the rails. A more straight example is him not understanding the audience's negative reaction after practically removing any jokes that would have gotten a laugh (like Glep's spitting), and mainly banking on having a 250 million dollar budget.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Or rather, standard in a non-standard universe. Rex looks like he'd be right at home in any other "adult cartoon", with the same generic, lazy character design those shows often feature. Given his character's motivations and role in the plot, this is probably deliberate.
- Take That!: He's an open jab at studio executives who aggressively insert themselves in the creative process of a show, giving unhelpful, contradictory advice and acting shocked when said advice leads to the show's quality declining.
- Too Dumb to Live: When Mr. Frog comes back to apologize for his behavior, Rex proceeds to berate him and rant that he's been replaced. This is the same Mr. Frog who got fired for trying to eat a reporter, nearly choked a fan to death, sliced an old lady's hands off while going through withdrawal, and got blacklisted for dropping racial slurs on Jimmy Fallon's talk show. The same Mr. Frog who's clearly unhinged and has nothing left to lose if he isn't getting his job back. Rex is also doing it on live TV. Naturally, Mr. Frog quickly devours the abusive producer.
- Villain Has a Point: He's definitely not one to talk, and the manner in which he uses the word later on shows he has absolutely no idea what it really means, but Mr. Frog is indeed a toxic figure who is a danger to everyone around him, as well as himself as he's a junkie. Of course, it's entirely possible that Mr. Frog ended up like that partially because of him, if Rex's abusive and manipulative treatment of Glep is any indication.
- Villainous Breakdown: He's unable to believe that anyone
could hate the changes he made to The Mr. Frog Show, bemoaning that he sank $250 million into the project, then rudely interrupts Mr. Frog's heartfelt apology to rant about how no one cares about him anymore and literally shove Glep's contract in his face as his eyes turn red, symbolizing how he's blinded by rage.
The Forest Demon
The Forest Demon
"Nononono, you don't understand. I'm literally a forest demon from across the bridge. This isn't a costume."
Voiced by: David Dore
A nasty vile demon living on the other side of the rickety bridge in the forest, who only appears in "A Silly Halloween Special". Just a reminder that he's not wearing blackface, that's just how he looks.
- Asshole Victim: As disturbing as his fate was, he was also a horrifying literal and figurative monster that spent his time on screen trying to kill Pim.
- Ax-Crazy: He tries to kill Pim on first sight, terrorizing him all the while when he does so. Comedically subverted once he gets Mistaken for Racist, as he calmly explains that he is a forest demon and isn't wearing blackface. Too bad for him, they don't listen.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Was beaten to a bloody pulp, had his head stomped in, his limbs torn off, disemboweled and his intestines and limbs eaten by the frenzied mob, and his body parts then thrown in a pile to be burned. All because people thought he was wearing blackface.
- Dark Is Evil: He's a pitch black demon who sadistically terrorizes the living daylights out of Pim as he attempts to kill him on first sight. This hilariously ends up being his undoing as it provokes the partygoers into beating, eviscerating, and immolating him, all because they thought he was wearing blackface.
- Dramatic Irony: He was killed due to the color of his skin by partygoers who attacked him for supposedly wearing blackface.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He may be a demon that tried to kill Pim but he tries to make it clear to the partygoers that he is not a racist… not that it saves him.
- Evil Sounds Deep: He speaks in a deep, slightly reverberating voice as he tries to explain that he isn't wearing blackface to the partygoers. Inverted when he's chasing Pim, as he constantly makes a horrifying high-pitched shriek.
- Flight: He's capable of levitating himself and flying after Pim.
- Fragile Speedster: He's really damn fast, being able to catch up with Pim even though the little guy's so damn terrified that he definitely has an adrenaline boost to speed him up, but he also winds up getting knocked out with a single punch from a ripped partygoer.
- Glass Cannon: Presuming he really is as powerful as his chase makes him seem, then he'd be this given he gets knocked down in a single blow before the partygoers begin ripping him to shreds with ease.
- Hell Is That Noise: The scream that he makes when he's chasing Pim is... quite unpleasant to say the least.
- In a Single Bound: He makes a MASSIVE jump, followed by him divebombing downwards when chasing Pim.
- Just Desserts: Downplayed. The partygoers eat his corpse after they killed him.
- Knight of Cerebus: Zigzagged - the whole sequence of him chasing down Pim is easily one of tensest, scariest parts of the whole show with little to no humor to be found, but his ultimate fate - getting savagely beaten, torn apart and eaten all because people thought he was wearing blackface - brings it back to Black Comedy.
- Lean and Mean: He has stick thin limbs and a ribcage like torso, and tries to kill Pim on sight.
- Made of Plasticine: The regular human partygoers are able to rip his limbs off with ease.
- Mistaken for Racist: In the end, he chases Pim into the Smiling Friends office costume party and promptly gets beaten to death, eaten, and burned over the misconception that he's wearing blackface.
- No Kill like Overkill: His death. He gets punched so hard it knocks him to the floor then gets repeatedly punched, kicked, and stomped while on the ground, then gets his limbs torn off one by one as he then gets torn open and has his innards eaten, and THEN he gets doused in gasoline and lit ablaze by a match, and to top it all off, he gets a boom box tossed onto him.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Is stop-motion, compared to the rest of the traditional 2D cast.
- Nothing Is Scarier: We aren't given that much explanation for who he is, where he really comes from, or even what his origins are, aside from that he's a demon who lives in the forest.
- Our Demons Are Different: Is a literal forest demon. Is not wearing blackface.
- Paper Tiger: He acts threatening, and towers over most of the characters, but one punch to the face from a partygoer is enough to cave half of his head in, although it should be noted that said partygoer was absolutely shredded.
- Politically Correct Villain: Implied. The fact that he genuinely attempts to defend himself when the Party Bro accuses him of wearing blackface means that despite being a bloodthirsty and murderous demon, he's at least not racist.
- Right for the Wrong Reasons: Was killed not because he was trying to harm Pim, but because people thought he was wearing blackface.
- Suddenly Speaking: This creepy shrieking demon of the forest is suddenly responding in full, calm sentences when he has to defend himself from an accusation of wearing blackface.
- When Trees Attack: His body appears to be made of wood. At the very least, his corpse served well enough as firewood to please the Boss.
Mip (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Mip
"Ack! Away with you, you nasty rotten thing!".
Voiced by: Zach Hadel
A lovely Hobbit-looking fellow on a quest to meet the princess.
- Alien Blood: He is shown to have brown blood and melts into black goo upon death.
- Ambiguously Bi: In addition to his stalking of the princess, he and Charlie share a rather... intimate exchange of flattery by the campfire.
- And There Was Much Rejoicing: After surviving his bomb and fully realizing he was dead, The Princess finally smiles.
- Asshole Victim: He's killed accidentally during Pim and Charlie's fight, though he more than had it coming considering how he truly was.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He's actually the reason the princess hasn't been able to smile, due to stalking her for quite a while. Worse still, his package to the princess is an IED.
- Corrupted Character Copy: He's visually based off of Bilbo Baggins, but turns out to be a twisted, sociopathic stalker who's on a mission to perform a murder-suicide, and nearly makes Charlie and Pim perform his mission in his stead when he dies.
- Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the "hero on a quest to save and romance the princess", as the only danger the Princess is in is from Mip himself, who turns out to be obsessively stalking her out of his twisted infatuation towards her to the point where he's willing to attempt murder-suicide on her.
- Depraved Bisexual: In the case that he's read as bisexual, he is certainly one with evil tendencies, from poisoning Charlie, though unfatally with his magic potion before coyly flirting with him to his attempted murder of the Princess.
- Evil All Along: Appears benign on the surface, but really just wanted to blow up the Princess, purely because she rejected his advances and moved out twice, and was all too happy to string along and kill Charlie and Pim if it meant achieving his goal.
- Expy: His entire design is an homage to Rankin/Bass' hobbits from their animated features, even being animated in a different way to the rest of the cast.
- Faux Affably Evil: While he is still a creepy stalker to the princess and trying to give her a bomb, he seems genuinely kind to Pim and Charlie... at first. He still paid no mind to the risk of them dying in the explosion and The Stinger reveals that the medicinal potion he gave Charlie was poisonous. Of course, there is the possibility that it genuinely is a form of allergies, though magical allergies are probably a whole lot worse than normal ones.
- Foreshadowing:
- While Mip's demise is initially melodramatic and lengthy, once he stops talking he immediately lets out a hellish screech, briefly shapeshifts into a demonic form and dissolves into a pile of black goo on death, which isn't exactly something a nice creature does when it perishes. Sure enough, the climax of the episode reveals Mip to be a stalker and the cause of the princess's inability to smile.
- He says to be careful with his present to the Princess of the Enchanted Forest. Because it was actually a bomb for her.
- Mip saves Pim and Charlie from a witch with a cross, causing her to fly away while screaming her head off. It seems like Holy Burns Evil at first glance, but considering the witch's terrified reaction it's more likely she's fleeing from Mip himself, cross or no cross.
- Hobbits: Has a very similar character design to Bilbo Baggins, and comes from a race of "forest folk" as he calls them.
- If I Can't Have You…: He makes an IED to send to the princess after she tries blocking him on all social media and moving twice to avoid him.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: When Pim and Charlie fight, they accidentally knock Mip back into a spearpoint.
- I'm Melting!: After delivering his Last Words, Mip horrifically melts into a puddle of fleshy black goo to show he's dead for good.
- Irony: He made a bomb to kill the princess but he became its sole victim after Charlie and Pim accidentally threw it at him and knocked him into a spear.
- Karmic Death: Mip was killed when Charlie and Pim accidentally threw his gift at him and knocked him backward into a spear. The gift in question? An IED that he would have used to kill the Princess for rejecting and blocking him.
- Near-Villain Victory: Had Pim not decided to tell the princess that the package came from Mip on a whim to pay his respects, the princess, Pim, and Charlie all would've likely been killed in the bomb's explosion.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's based on Ricardo Lopez, the "Björk Stalker" and a frequent discussion topic for Zach. Lopez became obsessed with the Icelandic singer and attempted murder-suicide via a letter bomb.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Mip looks almost exactly like the Rankin/Bass version of Bilbo Baggins, complete with Animation Bump, and aside from the art style difference, his character design uses a slightly lighter shade and a faux-shadow for his outline, something that makes him really stand out and look almost as if he was animated traditionally.
- Sdrawkcab Name: "Mip" is "Pim" spelled backwards, which fits with his role in the episode where he takes the lead alongside Charlie and Pim gets sidelined.
- The Sociopath: He's incredibly charming, becoming fast friends with Charlie, but it's all an act. He has no qualms about sending Charlie and Pim to deliver a homemade bomb to his stalking victim without telling them what it is, which could have resulted in an unwitting murder-suicide. The headache-curing potion he gives Charlie also turns out to have been poisoned, which makes him gravely ill by the end of the episode.
- Stalker with a Crush: Is this to the princess.
- Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: For a given definition of saccharine, but the revelation that Mip was the Princess' stalker is completely played for horror, putting both Pim and Charlie on edge when they realize they have no idea what's in the present for the Princess.
- Walking Spoiler: Mip is not the goofy Bilbo Baggins parody he seems to be, his true goals only become apparent after his death late in the episode. Being listed under the 'Villains' heading probably doesn't help either.
- Xanatos Speed Chess: He was doing this the whole episode. He encounters Pim and Charlie by happenstance, but takes advantage of their presence by saving them (via exploiting the witch's weakness) and telling them about his "quest" to deliver his package, which supposedly only a great hero can undertake. In actuality, he's looking for someone to bring his bomb to the princess (as she'd never take anything he offered her). He acts kind to them through the next day, gives them what they believe to be medicine, butters up their egos, and even seemingly tries to seduce Charlie. This culminates in him proclaiming that Charlie is the hero who will deliver his package, which he's now fully on-board with. When Pim interferes and tries to steal the package, in the process revealing his own desire to fulfill a quest, Mip warns him away from touching it because he crafted it with his own hands and doesn't want it broken (reality: it's a bomb and can go off at any time). When Pim and Charlie's fight inadvertently causes his death, he quickly pivots to declaring Pim the only one worthy of delivering the package. That he manages to complete this pivot as he's bleeding out and with literal seconds of preparation is particularly noteworthy. He even fakes remorse for having upset Pim to make him more likely to sympathize with completing the quest. Were it not for Pim deciding to pay his respects to Mip before the princess, inadvertently revealing the source of the package and giving her forewarning, the plot would've gone off flawlessly and Pim, Charlie, and the princess all would've been killed in the bomb's explosion.
- Yandere: He's an obsessive stalker of the Princess of the Enchanted Forest aiming to perform a murder-suicide.
Frowning Friends
The Frowning Friends
"We only tell the truth, even when it hurts."
Grim voiced by: Michael Cusack
Gnarly voiced by: Zach Hadel
Gnarly voiced by: Zach Hadel
Grim and Gnarly, two evil characters with the goal of making people frown.
- Ambiguously Gay: They tell one another that they love each other at one point. It's not clear if this means they're romantically involved or just close friends.
- Badass Longcoat: Gnarly wears a long black trenchcoat.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Their stated goals are to make people angry and/or sad, eliminate smiles from the world, and to eradicate the Puerto Ricans. They notably gloss over that last one when it becomes obvious many (but not all) of their gathering may not be okay with that.
- Bring My Brown Pants: Grim immediately pisses himself in fear when the Boss holds an assault rifle to his head.
- British Teeth: Seems that Grim cares as much about smiling as he cares about dental hygiene.
- Card-Carrying Villain: As the evil counterparts to the Smiling Friends, they make spreading misery their official business. Gnarly even gives 3D Squelton a business card after they deflate his enthusiasm for becoming a balloon salesman.
- Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Straw Nihilist. Like many other main characters in adult cartoons, Grim and Gnarly are nihilists who believe that nothing matters in the grand scheme of things and not worth the effort of making any meaningful changes in life, to a point where they see optimism as foolish and idealists as something to exploit. However, rather than portray them as ahead of the curve, in the right, or the most rational characters in the show, Grim and Gnarly are just plain killjoys who seek to make everyone else as miserable as possible and detract anyone from making their lives better. Grim makes a speech that tells everyone that there's no point in doing anything and the world is full of injustices so they shouldn't bother fighting the status quo. At the highest point of his speech, Grim yells "Nothing matters because we're all gonna' die someday!" but is immediately interrupted afterward by the boss of Smiling Friends, who tries to kill him for almost ruining his business. Rather than stand his ground or challenge the boss, Grim immediately caves in and begs for his life while pissing himself in fear, ultimately losing the crowd as they see his fear as hypocrisy and his philosophy as sanctimonious since something now matters to him and he's afraid to die.
- Diabolus ex Nihilo: They just appear one day and make everything worse. Ironically they die to yet another Diabolus ex Nihilo in the form of the Renaissance Men.
- Dirty Coward: Grim immediately folds and begs for his life when the Boss holds him at gunpoint. This causes the followers they gathered to realize how weak-willed they are despite their promises and their gathering quickly falls apart.
- Dystopia Justifies the Means: They want to make a world where no one smiles... and eradicate the Puerto Ricans.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: They seem to like each other's company.Charlie: So, uh, what exactly do you guys do?
Gnarly: (mocking) "SO WHAT IS IT YOU GUYS D—" shut up, man!
Grim: Good one, Gnarly. I love you.
Gnarly: And I love you, Grim. - Evil Counterpart: Parodied. They even have rhyming names with the main characters.Charlie: Look Pim, I get what's going on here. They're the Bizarro versions of us. That's fine. But what's their end game? What's the point of this? It's just pissing me off now.
- Evil Is Easy: Their core philosophy. "That's why you shouldn't try to better your life - because you might fail! So it's easier to frown!"
- Final Solution: During one of his rants, Grim lets it slip that he desires to "eradicate all the Puerto Ricans on the planet!"
- Gross-Up Close-Up: A dramatic example. During Grim's big speech to the crowd of people he's converted to the Frowning Friends' nihilism, he gains quite the disheveled appearance, with red bloodshot eyes and red irises and rotting, heavily detailed teeth, making him look very threatening.
- Heel–Face Door-Slam: They soon realize they like smiling and they change their ways. And then they are killed by the Renaissance Men.
- Hope Crusher: Live for nothing but this, making people be angry and sad for no reason other than to make their life worse.
- Hypocrite:
- As much as Grim preaches that nothing has value because everyone will all die one day, he immediately begs for his life after ending up at gunpoint showing that at the very least, Grim values his own life.
- Their entire philosophy is that nobody should do anything with their lives because they might fail, but the only reason people are listening to them at all is because they started a successful business that could have failed.
- My Card: Gnarly gives 3D Squelton a business card after they dissuade him from becoming a balloon salesman.
- Not Afraid to Die: Gnarly doesn't react at all when the Boss shows up to kill them, and says that Grim's reaction was "kinda cringe."
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Played For Laughs; along with making everyone in the world frown, Grim really wants to get rid of the Puerto Ricans... for some reason.
- The Quiet One: Gnarly is more talkative than most examples, but he mostly stays silent and allows Grim to do all the talking.
- Straw Nihilist: Tells a little 3D dude that he should give up on his balloon fantasy because he's going to die and helium will run out in 15 to 20 years. In a bit of a deconstruction they lose the crowd they were preaching to when Grim begs for his life, which the crowd interprets as hypocrisy since believing nothing matters should extend to one's own life.
- Un Evil Laugh: Their evil laugh is incredibly forced, which Charlie immediately points out.Charlie: That's not even a real laugh.
- Villain Has a Point:
- Charlie points out that Earth's helium is running out, just like they claim.note
- They tell DJ Spit off-screen that nobody would want to listen to his music, and despite this being a dick move, they're also absolutely right given that the song he shows off to Charlie and Pim is abysmal at best due to DJ Spit being a parody of SoundCloud rappers.
- Villains Want Mercy: For his talk about how nothing matters because everyone will die some day, Grim starts begging desperately for his life and even wets himself in fear the moment Boss confronts him with an assault rifle in hand.
- Worthy Opponent: The Boss congratulates the two for actually driving him to the point that he was trying to kill them.
Satan
Season 2
IGBG CEO
IGBG CEO
"I can't allow them to make an independent Gwimbly game! That's my IP to sit on and do nothing with!"
"Things have changed since you decided to leave! These days, it isn't about collecting cans of creamed corn and childish platforming. Now it's all DLC and microtransactions and fuck you, do you want a chicken nugget?!"
Voiced by: Lyle Rath
Voiced by: Lyle Rath
The CEO of Insane Groundbreaking Games, the company that put out Gwimbly's series in the 90s.
- Asshole Victim: He's a Fat Bastard who tries to kill Pim, Alan and Gwimbly to prevent them from making Gwimbly games again. He even tries to kill James for calling him a fat ugly nerd, which leads to James killing the CEO with a knife through his forehead.
- Bad Boss: Already terribly unpleasant to customers and ex-employees alike, but he doesn't treat Troglor much better. Even if you don't count his insults in the heat of the moment, any boss that would smear your face with ketchup and wipe it off with a nugget to eat isn't a guy you'd want to work for.
- Character Tics: He's constantly dipping his nuggets in various sauces, sometimes several at once, as a representation of both his own greediness and the unnecessary extra features added to his games. After being stabbed in the brain, when he sees that his final nugget is about to go unsauced, his last act is to desperately dab it in a pool of his own blood and gobble it up.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Refuses to make another Gwimbly game, seemingly because of a personal vendetta against Gwimbly himself, and when Pim suggests crowdfunding another game, he decides to hunt them down and kill them so that he can continue to sit on the Gwimbly IP and do nothing with it.
- Didn't Think This Through: After the Smiling Friends and Gwimbly fail to convince him to do another game with the latter, the trio go on to reunite with Gwimbly's co-stars to do a new game themselves. The CEO becomes incensed at their goal and tries to kill them with Troglor, completely ignoring the fact that he owns Gwimbly's likeness and IP, so he could just take a legal action against them, and that attempted murder is very much illegal. He also doesn't think to explain to his pet cyborg that not shooting at company headquarters doesn't apply to someone else's headquarters, which leads to his own death when Troglor fails to protect him from James, a psychotic asshole he just provoked.
- Even Evil Has Standards: When Troglor shoots in his office, the CEO tells him not to shoot indoors since there are other offices below them. When he gets a call from an office down below, he apologizes for it.
- Fat Bastard: Disgustingly obese with a personality that's equally so to boot.
- Fat Slob: His office is littered with nugget boxes, dipping sauce packets, fast food containers, crumpled up bags and two liter bottles.
- Faux Affably Evil: He talks in a jovial, almost friendly way at first, but it doesn't take much to see how skin-deep and sarcastic it is.IGBG CEO: Ah, Gwimbly! Nice to see you after all these years! I see your solo career is going successfully, hm.
- Greed: He's hellbent on keeping the rights to Gwimbly's franchise his, even though he expressly states that it's so he can just sit on it and do nothing with it, to the point that he decides to hunt down the heroes to kill them over their claim that they'll crowd-fund a new Gwimbly game.
- Hate Sink: The CEO is a smug, greedy scumbag who resorts to murder just to hold on to an IP he actively wants to do nothing with.
- Jerkass: He is a crude, ugly, and obnoxious glutton who mocks Gwimbly for being irrelevant and refuses to do another game with him; his attitude and behavior even makes Alan, who can be a very unpleasant person himself, uncomfortable. When Pim, Alan, and Gwimbly leave his office to go on to make a game without his involvement, he resorts to trying to murder them with his big, scary cyborg instead of just taking legal action against them, going as far as to try to murder someone for calling him "ugly".CEO: I suppose Gwimbly could be a skin in the new Troglor game, but only if you... Kiss my nugget.
Alan: I hate this guy.
Gwimbly: OH, FUCK YOU! (Runs over to assault the CEO before being restrained by Alan and Pim) - Jabba Table Manners: He's a rather messy eater.
- Kick the Dog: The very first thing he says to Gwimbly, an abandoned video game mascot turned homeless, after reuniting with him after many years is to mock him for his current predicament much to Gwimbly's annoyance.
- Laser-Guided Karma: He tries to murder Pim, Alan and Gwimbly using Troglor just to prevent them from getting Gwimbly a new game for him to star in, and later tries to have James killed for calling him ugly, only for James to stab him right through the forehead in return.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: This seems to be his go-to for every problem he faces. Someone trying to make an independent Gwimbly game? Have Troglor kill everyone involved. Someone insulted him to his face? Have Troglor kill him.
- Psychopathic Manchild: He acts more like a College fratboy than the CEO of a successful game company with the way he keeps blatantly mocking Gwimbly, screaming at the top of his lungs, sloppily munching on chicken nuggets and dipping sauce, and siccing Troglor towards killing anyone who offends him.
- Revenge Before Reason: His reaction to Pim, Alan, and Gwimbly trying to crowdfund an independent Gwimbly game is to try to hunt down and kill the trio, rather than, say, threatening legal action for using the Gwimbly IP without his permission.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He takes Rex's role as an abusive executive responsible for the client of the week's troubles, though unlike Rex, who beyond smacking Glep with a script never restored to violence despite his awful behavior, the CEO is actively murderous. And also like Rex, he's murdered karmically.
- Take That!: Towards videogame developer/publisher CEOs who refuse to do anything with the IPs they own, yet also still being hellbent on enforcing their rights to them, as well as to the increasing monetization of the gaming industry.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Chicken nuggets with dipping sauce.
- Villainous Glutton: Is always seen stuffing his face with chicken nuggets. The last thing he does before he dies is dip a nugget in his own blood and eat it.
- Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Those yellow eyes belong to a critter who ousted a beloved Mascot from his company, implements predatory practices such as Microtransactions, and resorts to sending his Dumb Muscle to murder others over slights against him.
Troglor
Troglor
"But you said I cannot shoot inside, Master."
Voiced by: Joshua Tomar
The new mascot of Insane Groundbreaking Games.
- Arm Cannon: His right arm is a powerful laser cannon.
- The Dragon: To the IGBG CEO.
- Dumb Muscle: Doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb, as he fires his laser cannon indoors, leading to the CEO reminding him that other people work in the building and he can't just fire off weapons like that. Later when the CEO instructs him to kill the heroes, he gets confused as he'd previously been told not to shoot indoors.
- Face of a Thug: He's a big, scary space marine with a skull for a face but he acts more like a confused kid when the CEO tells him to kill James, getting confused because he said earlier not to shoot inside, and later immediately accepting Gwimbly's offer to start something new for both of their franchises, even giving the idea of it being a platform fighter.
- Heel–Face Turn: After the CEO is killed, he decides to team up with Gwimbly and the two of them star in a Mascot Fighter together.
- Informed Attribute: The CEO claims that he's smart, but he actually comes across as a bit slow-witted.
- Non-Standard Character Design: He's a 3D rendered character rather than a 2D one.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He isn't evil, he's just following the orders of his boss.
- Shout-Out: He resembles a mix between the Doom Slayer with his green armor and helmet and the various demons he fights and Samus Aran with his Arm Cannon. His name may be a nod to Trogdor the Burninator from Strong Bad Email.
- Skeletons in the Coat Closet: While his left shoulder has a pauldron over it, Troglor covers up his right one with a massive, horned skull instead.
- A Space Marine Is You: He's a parody of generic Space Marine video game protagonists, who became popularized sometime after the generation that Gwimbly is a parody of.
