Gus Turner

Augustus "Gus" Turner is a character from the British animated series RobotBoy. He is a chubby, self-centered red-headed boy who is Tommy's best friend. He also comes from an Amish family, but despite being so, is obsessed with technology and food.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He's an annoying, irresponsible, and insensitive boy who only wants to get his way by taking advantage of his "friends".
 * 2) He is the self-proclaimed leader of his friends' group who only cares about himself.
 * 3) He is just another pointless comic relief character who is obsessed with food or tells the most boring jokes.
 * 4) His attitude often ticks off people, even with his friends. For example, he made RobotGirl cry in one episode, another sign of him being divisive.
 * 5) His voice is VERY annoying and sounds like Eric Cartman from South Park if he was drugged.
 * 6) Some of his decisions caused more problems and even endanger people. For example, in "RoboGus and G-Machine", he abuses RobotBoy's powers when he is in his body, and he ends up hurting others and even burning off a bully's pants on the butt.
 * 7) He provides a lot of gross-out and toilet humor, such as repeatedly vomiting and farting. The episode "Journey to the Center of Gus" really shows this off a lot.
 * 8) He is very greedy, mostly for food and attention.
 * 9) The writers tend to have him steal screentime from other characters, and Lola gets the worst of this.
 * 10) Somehow, despite coming from an Amish family, he is the opposite of it, which can come off as confusing.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Deep down, he's still Tommy's best friend and cares about him.
 * 2) At least compared to Tommy's bully brother (Donnie Turnbull), he at least doesn't intend to be malicious or cruel and is rather just obnoxious.
 * 3) He's not without his decent/likable moments.
 * 4) His design is pretty decent for the most part.
 * 5) The moments when he gets called "Goose" can be funny.
 * 6) He also has Butt-Monkey status, so he actually gets what he deserves in most cases.
