Paddy the Pelican

Paddy the Pelican is the eponymous protagonist of the infamous 1950's cartoon mh:terribletvshows:The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican. He is voiced by Sam Singer, who also voiced all the characters and did the show all by himself in general.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He has a terrible sounding "fast-talking" tone of voice, even by 1950s standards.
 * 2) His personality is one of the stalest personalities out there, if not the most so.
 * 3) He is very repetitive since he always does the same thing by repeating the same antics over and over again.
 * 4) His laugh is very annoying to listen to, much to the point that it is often shoehorned in the intro.
 * 5) His dialogue is very laughable and it makes him seem too goofy for us to sympathize with him (well most of the time).
 * 6) He talks way too fast, which makes it very difficult for the viewers to understand what he's saying on top of being badly animated.
 * 7) His design, despite it being average, it can look ugly whenever he gets angry.
 * 8) As mentioned at WHS#3, his antics get old pretty fast.
 * 9) Despite having silly-sounding dialogue, there were times when he is often treated like a punching bag, especially if he didn't really deserve it at all.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) A lot like most of the characters in the show, his design is rather decent.
 * 2) Despite having a stale personality, compared to most of the main characters/side characters in the show, he isn't mean-spirited or rude per see. Examples of this are him helping others in the episode "Plum Valley" and having a heroic motive in the episode "Swania Foiled Again".
 * 3) * He is sometimes sympathetic when being treated as a scapegoat on occasion, the infamous "Piggy Bank Robbery" is an example.
 * 4) Depending on your view, he can be seen as a 'so bad he's funny/entertaining' type of character with providing some very silly moments that are unintentionally funny and hard to take seriously.
 * 5) * A prime example of this is how his voice is hilariously awful.
