Brooklyn "Baby" Shark also known as Ollie is a supporting character in the YouTube channel called Pinkfong and the titular main protagonist of the Nick Jr. series Baby Shark's Big Show and in Nickelodeon's 48th feature film Baby Shark's Big Movie.
He is voiced by Kimiko Glenn in the English version, who voices the titular character from Kiff, and Kim Seo-yeong in the Korean version.
Why He Should "Doo-Doo-Doo" His Way Outta Here
- He pretty much exists because of Pinkfong's infamous children's song "Baby Shark", which was not well-received by viewers, despite being the most viewed video on YouTube.
- He is extremely annoying, as he constantly uses "doo" in his sentences, similar to how Starfire from Teen Titans Go! constantly uses "the" in her sentences.
- He is shown to be uncharacteristically sadistic for a children's song in the Baby Shark music video. At one point, he tries to eat fish (one of which is William, who would later become his best friend in the TV series).
- He is an absolute creator's pet, as he is often overused in the Pinkfong videos alongside Pinkfong himself and Hogi.
- His design is a tad mediocre in the videos.
- His appearance in the TV show is even worse than in the videos, as he starts to become even more annoying and obnoxious than he was in the videos and he has the tendency to wander off from his home without his parents' permission and/or wind himself, William, and even his friends into really bad situations. What's worse about this is that he does not get any real punishment for doing this since his parents are oblivious about it, thus making him a Karma Houdini.
- The TV show tries to make him the "sane" one when it comes to his and William's "odd couple" dynamic. Thanks to really bad writing though, they usually come off as equally stupid and idiotic, with the series premiere "All I Want for Fishmas" being the worst example. In that episode, without permission from their parents (and right after hearing Santa Jaws is missing), they go on a trip to the Water Warp to the North Pole. With minimal convincing, the morons actually have the gall to kidnap Santa, land him on a sled, and attack his penguin elves with Christmas snacks.
Redeeming Qualities
- His design in the TV series and the videos is cute and sometimes passable, depending on your view.
- Kim Seo-yeong and Kimiko Glenn do decent jobs voicing him in the Korean and English dubs of the TV series respectively.
- Seo-yeong and Glenn also do great at singing.
- He is slightly more tolerable in the videos.
