Howard Weinerman

Howard Weinerman is the deuteragonist of Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. He is Randy Cunningham's best friend, Heidi Weinerman's younger brother, and a freshman at Norrisville High.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He isn't like any average best friend.
 * 2) He is a complete jerk.
 * 3) He is mean-spirited, vain, stylish, and insensitive who usually thinks he is above anyone, including his friend Randy.
 * 4) He often cares about popularity, making him very pointless.
 * 5) He's even a jerk to Randy as he ate his Gravy Fries, hates it when Randy does the right thing, etc. When Randy doesn't do what he says and goes into the Nomicon to do an important Ninja business, Howard gets mad because he thinks what he does now (i.e. playing video games) is way more important than the Ninja stuff (i.e. saving the world).
 * 6) His most infamous jerk moment was in The Ninja's Identity and Ninja Supremtry when he took over as The Ninja after Randy accident mind-wiped himself. He took the time to humiliate the Psycho-Bot and even got the school destroyed in 10 minutes after the learning Bot got Stank.
 * 7) He never appreciates Randy or his help on multiple occasions. An example is after he was freed from the Tengu he cheered when he realized it was Randy's fault (it was actually Howard's, to begin with) and then thanked him.
 * 8) He (rarely) never gets punished for his actions, making him a Karma Houdini, and he never learns a lesson.
 * 9) He often calls his dad by his first name.
 * 10) He doesn't take responsibility for his actions and blames Randy, who is partly responsible for it.
 * 11) He is very hypocritical as he only wants Randy to go into the Nomicon unless he (Howard) is messing up but while he states it is stupid when Randy goes in for the right thing. Another example is he tried to rat Randy out, by calling him a fakie, of the Stache Society, even though Howard himself is also a fakie.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He is surprisingly loyal to Randy.
 * 2) He occasionally gets punished for his actions.
