* ButtMonkey: "Chad" AKA "MC Balm Drop" is this to highly exaggerated levels. First he was roped into faking gameplay video to promote "Gamer Cola" and then after having a rather stable shift job, got roped into doing crime with Scooter and Al for "publicity". The last you see of him is escaping Hawaii as a wanted criminal.
