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, which shows that he is a terrible boss.
 * 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 has destroyed the Banana Cabana several times, showing how destructive he is.
 * 10) He provides tons of gross-out humor, which is excessively gross and unfunny, Some of the humor he provides is inappropriate and risque 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.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He does have some moments where he cares about his friends.
 * 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.
