Howie (Almost Naked Animals)

Howie is the main protagonist of the Canadian animated series Almost Naked Animals. He is the owner of the Banana Cabana and is a huge fan of Dirk Danger. He has a rivalry with his older sister Poodle, who owns a competing hotel named the Chateau Chattoo, and who seeks to drive him out of business. Howie is voiced by Robert Tinkler.

Why He Needs to Put Some Clothes On

 * 1) To get the hat out of the bag: His design is very ugly and uncanny, and is incredibly disturbing and repulsive to look at, since he is shaved, and he looks like a naked, furless version of Crash Bandicoot. In fact, his design can even give the Brothers Grunts' designs a run for their money. (To be fair, every character in Almost Naked Animals has the same problems with their designs.)
 * 2) * Adding onto that, his design features a navel, which is quite gross to look at, as dogs don't have navels in real life.
 * 3) Robert Tinkler does a poor job voicing him, as he makes his voice sound bland, very annoying, and poor.
 * 4) His smile is creepy and uncanny at times.
 * 5) He is completely oblivious to everything and doesn’t care what happens around him.
 * 6) He has a really strange obsession with Dirk Danger.
 * 7) He doesn’t seem to care about his employees and barely sympathizes for them. Instead, he frequently annoys them and gets on their nerves very often.
 * 8) He refuses to listen to his friends' rules and does stuff that his friends tell him not to do, especially in "No Howies Allowed".
 * 9) He can be quite destructive. He sometimes causes damage around the Banana Cabana, and it even gets to the point that he destroyed the hotel several times.
 * 10) He provides tons of gross-out humor, which is excessively nauseating and unfunny. Some of the humor he provides is inappropriate and risqué as well, such as a scene in one episode, where he lands on a bar on his crotch.
 * 11) He has even twerked a couple of times.
 * 12) He sometimes doesn't get punished for his actions (which is due to his idiocy), making him an Idiot Houdini.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He does have some moments where he cares about his friends, showing that he can be caring deep down.
 * 2) He can be admittedly funny every now and then.
 * 3) He actually does learn from his mistakes.
 * 4) He improved slightly in season 3 (except in "No Howies Allowed"), though not by much.
