Chad is a main character from the Nickelodeon/Teletoon series, NBMS Live!

Why He Deserves Detention

 * 1) For starters, Chad was terribly Flanderized from season 7. He used to be a sophisticated Gary Stu to a self-centered, argumentative, and short-tempered person who throws temper tantrums over the slightest things and insists on having his own way at the time. In fact, he makes Classic Caillou and DHX Media-era D.W. seem mature, despite being much older than them (technically).
 * 2) He is also a whiny and obnoxious brat. His constant whining and crying will get on your nerves very quickly.
 * 3) He is supposed to be portrayed as the "misfortunate middle-schooler," and we're supposed to side with him, but his tantrums make you want to side against him instead!
 * 4) He appears far too often in this series, so viewers are forced to watch him throw tantrums even more.
 * 5) His voice is incredibly obnoxious when he screams.
 * 6) He was at his absolute worst in "Chad's Tantrum" in which he throws a temper tantrum and takes his anger out on the whole school, just over bad memories.
 * 7) He is immature and incredibly stupid. In later episodes, when a girl makes him mad or upset, he accuses that girl of being "gender-ist."  WHAT?!  The word is "sexist" and that's NOT what they were being!
 * 8) *Alternatively, he accuses non-black people of being "racist" when they make him mad or upset. That's not even the definition of racist! Racism is the belief that one race is superior or inferior to the others.
 * 9) *In one episode, Douglas called him a dum-dum him for getting a B while he got an A. While this is wrong, Chad calls Douglas a dum-dum because his name starts with a consonant. Um... hello? Chad, your name starts with a consonant too, Chad!
 * 10) *When he cries, he insists that his "tank sprung a leak." He doesn't even have a tank!
 * 11) He isn't as tough as he thinks he is. Instead, he is a wimpy scaredy-cat, as he gets scared when he thinks he's about to get in trouble.
 * 12) He is a huge liar and somewhat of a sassy jerk to Anthony Tesh.
 * 13) He almost NEVER gets comeuppance for his actions, except in "Chad's Tantrum," where 3 ladies beat him up. Unfortunately, this is the ONLY episode where he gets comeuppance.
 * 14) It got so bad, that even his Northside Show counterpart hates him.
 * 15) Chad is WAY too sensitive, as even the SLIGHTEST remark (depending on the context) will set him off or put him in tears.
 * 16) *One of the worst examples of this in in "CPR," when he sees Rylee with somebody that's not him, and he stomps his feet really hard and throws a tantrum in front of the whole class! JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE YOU LIKE DOESN'T CHOOSE YOU DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THEY HATE YOU! You can like more than one person, Chad.
 * 17) He cannot take even the slightest bit of criticism. He insists he's always right.
 * 18) He goofs off in class. Also, his jokes are un-funny.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) At least he did get some form of comeuppance in "Chad's Tantrum," when he was beat up by Mrs. Coy, Mrs. Fuentes and Mrs. Hayes.
 * 2) He does have his smart moments at times, like when he tries to stop other students from pulling a fire alarm for fun, as it's a serious crime.
 * 3) At least he's likeable in the shorts.
 * 4) He was somewhat likeable in "The Game Reaper," a very well-received episode. It's also the only episode where Chad isn't throwing any tantrums, and his crying sounds more like one a 13-year-old would throw and not a 6 or 7-year old. You might even think what happened to him served as perfect comeuppance for all of his wrongdoings in previous episodes. He's also somewhat sympathetic in later episodes.
 * 5) When he isn't throwing tantrums, or insisting on always wanting his way, Chad can be an enjoyable-type character. Thankfully, his season 9 counterpart is much more well-behaved.
 * 6) He was forced to face his fear in the March 25, 2019 episode, when he walked out the bear gate during a fire drill, and doesn't act like a scaredy-cat.
 * 7) He still has a good relationship with some characters, like Mr. Stoneham, Mrs. Coy, and to an extent, Ms. Kelly.
 * 8) His prepubescent singing voice is still cute.
 * 9) At times, he is one few genuinely nice boys in the show. Also, he isn't as unlikeable has his tormentors.
