Wild Woody

Wild Woody is the main titular character of the Sega CD game mh:crappygames:Wild Woody. He is a pencil who is brought to life by Low Man of the Totem Pole to round up his Totem brothers who had escaped his control and created parallel universes and in order to gather the scattered segments of the totem pole. He tends to think highly of himself and likes to crack jokes. He is voiced by Joe Kerska.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) To write down the first problem about him, he's a complete rip-off of Earthworm Jim.
 * 2) * He has the goofy personality of Earthworm Jim down to having a similar saying to match the silliness (where Earthworm Jim uses the word "Groovy", Wild Woody uses the word "WIILLLD" in a similarly hammy way), both of them are portrayed as silly protagonists in and out of the cutscenes, they both have a hammy inflection and subtle mannerisms in their manly voices, and having a similar art style with their pointy heads with big round eyes and a big mouth as a part of their character designs, along with having cartoonishly enthusiastic expressions to match the wackiness.
 * 3) In the cutscenes, Woody himself is implausibly annoying with his crazed behavior, over-the-top actions, and loud voice. Even when the "WIIILLLD Woody" line starts to get old really fast. While it may be funny the first few times, every other time it is reused, it becomes more irritating than funny.
 * 4) Woody comes out short in personality and character development. He's basically the combination of the stationary of the Pencil cases from the intro of Art Attack(1990) and the personality traits of the Pepperami mascot in a nutshell. This makes him clichéd somehow. He's basically the generic "I'm gonna save the world" type of protagonist with nothing else unique about him aside from being hammy & "wild", hence the explanation.
 * 5) * This is especially shown when Woody's character design and concept is lazily and horrendously crafted, to quote Blameitonjorge: "It was probably the only thing lying around".
 * 6) ** Also, despite saying that his very name is the only thing he knows, he somehow is able to spout out one-liners based on pop culture as an example of poor writing.
 * 7) Because of his CGI design, the way he is animated is creepy, too over-the-top, and ugly (ex. Yelling his own name to the point he looks spastic and aggressive, or when he gets extreme close-ups). As his teeth are also pretty uncanny as well.
 * 8) Every time Woody gets hurt, he NEVER shuts up as he only says "ow".
 * 9) This may have been innovative at the time, but the voice acting for Woody isn't bad, but it comes off as weird and mediocre nowadays.
 * 10) While Woody himself can erase things, not only is it inappropriate by the way he does it since it's essentially his butt considering that he is a pencil, it's hard for the player to erase enemies which leads to cheap side effects.
 * 11) His dialogue can come off as hilariously bad and cheesy. It more often than not feels very out of place for a game that is supposed to be a kids' game like "All I did was bust a gut".
 * 12) * Even his actions do this as well, such as his 2D animation when growing back to normal which feels more like "erecting", and wishing for a pink female paintbrush whose appearance is also unsettling.

Good Qualities

 * 1) His introduction of him saying "Call me Woody, WIIILLLD WOODY!" and his cheesy but enthusiastic performances and actions in the CGI cutscenes can be quite funny, enjoyable & somewhat entertaining to watch to some viewers (like the game-over screens).
 * 2) * He can be pretty funny to watch for the fact that in the cutscenes, he's a lot wilder than how he is in the game, especially since he's a goofy maniac who's very crazed and hyperactive. This makes him one of the most enjoyable parts of the game (well for the most part, however).
 * 3) Sometimes, his dialogue is so bad that it's unintentionally funny. (EX: "My! Oh my!!", "Hope you got insurance Remi", "No need to get personal." or "Alright! My creative juices are FLOWIN'  now" as seen in four instances of those cutscenes.)
 * 4) To be fair, the idea of having a pencil as the main character being able to draw up items and erase enemies sounds interesting, despite it all being poorly executed.
 * 5) When Woody first comes to life, he's shown to draw some pretty impressive pictures in the first cutscene, in a fast-paced if far-fetched and exaggerated way no-less.
 * 6) At times Wild Woody can be tolerable to listen to when he speaks in a normal regular tone of voice rather than yelling like a 'crazy maniac' in those aforementioned cutscenes.
