Characters / The Gmod Idiot Box

DasBoSchitt

Huh, so sticking your head in a blender works wonders after all!

Voiced by: DasBoSchitt

A citizen who once lived in City 17, now granted his own home by Dr. Breen after the second episode of his pirate TV show, The Gmod Idiot Box was released.

The Gmod Idiot Box started out as a pirate television show Das Bo Schitt created, that was accessible through a secret tuning each day at 6:00 PM. The show's original purpose was to boost the morale of the citizens in hopes of battling the combine much more effectively. When a home was raided by Combine officers one day during one of the showings, one particular civil protection officer took notice of the show and enjoyed it, ultimately obtaining the frequency of the show and spreading it around to the rest of the Combine. Eventually, word of it made it all the way back to the citadel. Dr. Breen didn't personally enjoy the idiotic show himself, but because it boosted even the Combine's morale significantly, he gave the show it's own public channel within the city, mostly playing reruns due to slow production, and relocated Das Bo Schitt out of City 17 and into his own home away from regular Combine juristiction as reward for his un-intended deed for all citizens and Combine alike.

Das Bo Schitt now lives in the quiet neighborhood of "Evocity" where apparently the first Civil Protection officer to stumble upon his show shares the house with him.

He was the first Civil Protection officer to stumble upon the Gmod Idiot Box, as well as the very first soldier ever to be created of the Combine force. He was designed as an android with simulated human thought. After many tests of the soldier's capability, they realized many strengths and weaknesses with the projects. The up-sides being, he had incredible strength, capabilities and made descisions rather quickly, as well as acting upon them almost immediately. The down side was, he turned out just a little TOO human. He found so much hilarity in things and often ignored orders, going rogue in favor of getting his own way. He was never arrested or brought back in for further design touch ups because for one reason, the project already costed a ton of funding and Dr. Breen dared not spend another cent, having already scrapped the project in favor of the cheaper method ... converting humans into mindless soldiers. The other reason? He was simply too damn good at what he did, being the most capable soldier of the entire Combine army, regardless of his otherwise weird, unorthadox and rogue methods.

Imagine #1 as a 14 year old spastic gamer in an adult body and you'd pretty much sum up his personality. Where he sucks horribly at book smarts, he excells highly in street smarts and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, usually through means of playing dirty and unfair. He'll attempt to win a boxing match by kicking his opponent in the groin or breaking something and using it as a weapon. Unlike the other civil protection officers, #1 prefers a crowbar rather than a stunstick, for it provides multiple uses and doesn't need to be charged.

Today, #1 reigns not only as the first soldier, or the first Combine to come across the show, but also is considered the #1 fan of the Gmod Idiot Box. A month after episode 2 came out and became available on YouTube, he became impatient for the next episode and tracked Das Bo Schitt down in Evocity, ramming his car off the road and forcing him to hurry up and make the next episode. A month later, #1 caught him vacationing without any announcements to the public and stole a headcrab canister, launching it to his location and forcing Bo Schitt to make the next one. After a while, Bo Schitt realized there was no running from #1 and decided befriending him was the best course of action. By episode 4, #1 had moved in with Bo Schitt, finding and beating the YouTube stick figure plague, "Bob" to keep Bo Schitt's patience in good standing. Ever since, the good outweighed the bad and they became mutual friends. There will always be times when #1 is an asshole, but there's always some price to having constant protection and over the top beatings of those that simply annoy. Besides, #1 seems undeniably fun to have around.

• Audience Surrogate: #1 is DasBoSchitt's stand-in for the series's viewers and fans; an admirer of the creator's work who can be impatient while waiting for the next episode to come out, and sometimes shows Loony Fan tendencies as well.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Pummels Dr. Hax with a car. And then Bob, with a TANK of all things.
• Fun Personified
• Heroic Comedic Sociopath
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Das Bo Schitt.
• Implacable Man: Nothing can stop #1 from getting what he wants. Nothing.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Can be an ass at the very least at times, but sometimes shows signs of a more nicer side to him.
• Meaningful Name: Get it? 'Cause he's Bo Schitt's #1 fan? Eh?
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Is a fan of this.
• Off with His Head!: Accidentally kills Das Bo Schitt this way in Episode 10 using a shotgun and Pop Rocks.
• Ridiculously Human Robots: Emphasis on ridiculously.
• Synthetic Voice Actor: Most often voiced by Microsoft Sam when he's typing at the computer in earlier episodes.
• Super-Strength: Even by the standards of this series. For example, he backhands a T-72 main battle tank hard enough to make it explode in episode 15.
• Unstoppable Rage: In "Bob WAS Building an Army", after Bob destroys his Playstation. Which ends very badly for Bob.
• Villain Protagonist
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With BoSchitt.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Briefly becomes one of these in Bob WAS Building an Army ..., in which after Bob destroys his brand new PS4, #1 flips out major league and brutally maims Bob in a fit of rage, going as far as to perma-ban him from existence.

Charles Olson/Chuckles the Cheat

Chuckles encounters someone much worse than him.

Voiced by: Nathan Vetterlein (voice clips)

Chuckles is infamous for many things. His pranks on others originally surfaced as a coping mechanism for the unfortunate state of the world after Earth's surrender, but got too much enjoyment out of it and no longer has to cope anymore. Now griefing is a state of mind for Chuckles, finding so many ways to prank and grief others with his shenanigans for endless laughs. Chuckles had worked in cyberspace for a very long period of time to the point where he discovered how to literally hack the very fabric of reality, simply by using an average cell phone.

Due to this, he was given a wide range of abilities, like passing through walls, making himself unusually fast, or even indestructible. He passed the word on to many citizens and thus, hacking was the new epidemic in the city.

Many citizens however, don't grasp the full potential of their hacking and are usually able to be handled by the average Combine soldiers, but Chuckles still proves a real nuisance to everyone including Dr. Breen, making him a priority one target for Dr. Breen's counter-hacking plan. #1 however will not pursue Chuckles, for he finds what Chuckles does hilarious.

• Amusing Injuries: In full effect whenever he's punished. His pranks, however, quickly fall out of hilarity and into tragedy on more than one occasion.
• Can't Get Away with Nuthin'
• Deadly Prank: The Harmless Shenanigans segment. Chuckles tries to play a practical joke, joke backfires with horrible results, Chuckles gets arrested.
• Even Evil Has Standards: For Chuckles, it is one thing to prank and grief others for shits and giggles, but downright ruining everyone's fun by crashing the game just because you're a sore loser crosses the line.
• Foreshadowing: Once he corners Dennis, Chuckles prepares to knock him out with summoned flatscreen monitors, much like Dr. Hax. He eventually becomes his apprentice in Episode 14.
• Jerkass: At first it was a coping mechanism. Now, there's just no excuse.
• Playful Hacker: He's out for fun, but despite the ramifications of his actions, not out for blood.
• Reality Warper: He found a way to hack the fabric of reality with a cell phone.
• The Apprentice: Chuckles's role in catching Dennis the Douchebag earns him Dr. Hax's respect, who eventually takes him under his wing. In Episode 14, he assists Dr. Hax in busting Jerkass hackers like Aiden Pearce and cleaning the mess the latter caused afterwards.
• Villain Protagonist: Of Harmless Shenanigans.

Doctor Hax

Don't mess with the admin.

Voiced by: John Patrick Lowrie (voice clips)

Dr. Hax was created by Dr. Breen as the ultimate countermeasure to the damage caused by the year of the hacking outbreak.

Still, many citizens including Chuckles continue to hack to this day and Dr. Hax is always there to stop them. Created to look exactly like Dr. Breen, Hax was given a giant head so everyone will remember Breen's face ... a reminder of who they're dealing with in the city. Granting admin privilages to the world around them to combat hackers easier, Breen even armed Dr. Hax with what was known as "LUA Monitors." These monitors were modeled after large, heavy CRT monitors, which are incredibly accurate and hurt like all hell when they hit. They are also designed to restore the default settings of their target, returning anything out of the ordinary back to normal on impact.

Telekenetic launching is the method of which these monitors travel, often summoning monitors into being, or simply launching a monitor from nearby after it's coded manually by Dr. Hax once he has control of it. Sometimes however, Dr. Hax is quick to jump the gun and wrongfully accuse someone of hacking when it seems "too good to be true." A good example of this was when a fight broke out between #1 and Das Bo Schitt in the Evocity streets.

He noticed #1's wielding of a full sized car and called hax upon him, only to be knocked out by the flying car, which was thrown by ultimately legitimate means, as #1's strength is still something to be feared.

• Always Beats His Cheater: But when he doesn't...
• Berserk Button: Using hacks for any reason both real and imagined (even if you, say, phase through elevator doors after being stuck inside for a while) will result in him launching CRT monitors at your soon-to-be-broken face. Don't even rob him of his chance to do so, or he'll launch dozens of them at you.
• Big Head Mode: Looks exactly like Dr. Breen, but with a giant head and perpetually deranged, angry expression.
• Catchphrase: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!" or "The hacks! THE HAAAAAAAX!"
• Hero Antagonist: Of Harmless Shenanigans.
• Knight Templar: Can be a little too overzealous in calling out the hax.
• Pet the Dog:
  • At the end of Episode 12, he gives Chuckles a lighter sentence in comparison to Dennis as thanks for helping take the latter down. For the record, Dennis is banned for a month, Chuckles, on the other hand....banned for a week.
  • Him and Chuckles team up again to take out Aiden from Watch_Dogs in episode 14. Chuckles proves to be exasperatingly incompetent, but Dr. Hax gives him a pat on the head for trying and is implied to be helping him clean up the collateral damage instead of the leaving to do it himself.
• Power Nullifier: What he's capable of inflicting on anyone unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of his flying monitors. In this case, he can undo any changes in the settings of their target this way, and is quite capable of bashing the God Mode out of Chuckles.
• Recruiting the Criminal: At the end of episode 14, he's shown teaching Chuckles how to deal with malicious hackers.

UberKleiner (Under Construction)

Wanna know the most annoying sound in the world?

Voiced By: Jim Carrey (voice clips)

During the hacking epidemic in the city, many machines, including the ones in Dr. Kleiner's lab were suffering breakdowns and sometimes even explosions. This was due to the fact that the serious amount of hacking around the city created rips in the fabric of reality, creating an unstable fusion of reality and fiction in the form of data. This rogue data appear in the form of what was best described as "nonsense" appearing out of nowhere. While Dr. Kleiner was watching the movie, "Dumb and Dumber" on his lab computer, a nearby hack cause a rip that became so severe, the computer exploded in his face, causing a fusion of Kleiner and the fictional movie. Thus, UberKleiner was created and though Dr. Kleiner was never hurt from the incident, UberKleiner lives on through the rips in reality, appearing at extremely random moments to share with everyone ... the most annoying sound in the world. The lazer cannon blasts during such a sound still has yet to be even explained, but then, no one has been able to make sense of what comes of these rips in reality.

• Diabolus ex Machina: UberKleiner's entire purpose throughout the series, and when you least expect it.
• Was Once a Man: He is a fusion of Dr. Kleiner and the movie he happened to watch when the incident ocurred.

Gravity Cat

Gravity Cat is not amused.

The result of the resistance science team's attempt to create an advanced teleportation rift. When a lab cat was sent through the rift as the first teleportation experiment, it never came through to the other side and was lost. A week later, sightings of a feline with the same description as the one in Kleiner's lab, showed up in an abandoned home along the coast. Rumor had it, the cat was able to defy the laws of gravity and had un-explainable, dangerous powers at it's disposal, but only when it was un-amused. Since then, the quest to amuse the cat was on, just to see if it would bring good to the ones that amused it. Unfortunately, a man in a purple suit stepped forward in an attempt to satisfy the feline with a number of horrible dance moves. The man failed and the one they called "Gravity Cat" escaped, blowing away everything in his path. He eventually found his way back to Kleiner's lab late at night and caused terrible damage. To this day, Barney still struggles with nightmares of the Gravity Cat, even though he was already long gone after exacting it's revenge. One can only assume that the abrupt arrival of Gravity Cat sightings means that it too travels through the rips in reality, much like UberKleiner.
