** Teaching in the 1700's is more probable. He embarked on the Quest For The Holy Pail when he was a student... 400 years ago. The Gromble would have to be really 500 years old for some of his comments to even make sense, although it still seems like an exaggeration to say he hasn't seen another monster in centuries.

* CatchPhrase: "I hate my life." Doubles as a Shout Out to Rocko's Modern Life, where Ed Bighead (also voiced by Charlie Adler) expresses the same refrain. He has a few other repeated sayings like "On the good foot!", "I'm bad!" and "No way!" that are used sporadically, but not quite to the same extent as "I hate my life."

TheChosenOne: There are definite elements of this. In the first season, "Where Have All The Monsters Gone", The Great Pool, the collective embodiment of all monsters, declares Ickis is the one who will lead the other students to rectify the lack of fear crises -- which he does. In the second season, Ickis is the monster selected to undertake the once every 400 years quest to find the Holey Pail; this is a big deal in monster society, and the last monster to quest for it was none other than the Gromble.
*CuteButCacophonic CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Most commonly kind of goofy, but when he gets serious...
* CuteButCacophonic: Ickis is the least scary-looking of the regular monsters, but he has a very high-pitched voice. This isn't entirely a bad thing in monster culture; when he and Krumm are mashed together to become Krickis, Krumm is genuinely pleased he can now whine like Ickis does.
* FantasticRacism: Inverted. While monsters in general seem to look down on humans, Ickis really seems to be quite amiable towards them; whilst he still scares them because he has to, and enjoys doing so, he really does sit in PunchClockVillain territory with the fact he's quite companionable towards them if given the opportunity. He makes fairly good friends with Bradley, despite their less-than-stellar first meeting, and in one episode becomes attached to a blind old blues player to the point of going on one of his most impressive physical transformations to help him.

** Unusually for this trope, however, his father isn't really that demanding and is quite understanding that his reputation is a lot to live up to. In his introductory episode, he deliberately showcases one of his own embarrassing failures to help his son realise that even The Great Slickis didn't start out so great, and he's highly proud of Ickis's above mentioned moral victory.
