Fleabag Monkeyface

Fleabag Monkeyface "Yuck!" Gender: Male Type: Ugly and Disgusting Creature Age: Unknown Species: Part Monkey & Part Human Portrayed by: Bob Golding Status: Alive Media of origin: Fleabag Monkeyface

Fleabag Monkeyface is the main titular protagonist of the popular comic book series The Disgusting Adventures of Fleabag Monkeyface, and its infamous short-lived animated adaptation of the same name on CITV. He is voiced by Bob Golding.

Why He's Disgusting

NOTE: This will only focus on the TV show version of the character, as his character in the comic books is likable.

1. His voice, thanks to Bob Golding, is very annoying, ear-grating, and obnoxious and sounds like a higher-pitched version of Jar Jar Binks' voice.
2. His character design looks really creepy, unnatural, ugly, horrendous, and disturbing. It looks like a miniature, furless and big-eyed version Sid from Ice Age, or a monkey-like version of Fanboy from Fanboy & Chum Chum. This version of his character design objectively looks far more hideous than his original character design in the comics.
   • In fact, speaking of his design, he looks like a rejected character from Fanboy & Chum Chum, due to sharing similarly unrealistic and cartoonish proportions to his body structure to make him look "kid-friendly".
3. Just like Yellow from Larva (except the latter isn't a bad character but does have his flaws): Most of his abilities are solely made to appeal to the lowest common denominator of people who genuinely enjoy watching shows filled with too much disgusting toilet humor, such as farts when he flies, and it is very obnoxious and boring to watch.
   • Using his burps and bad breath on the earwax monster to make it pass out is one example seen in the show's intro.
4. As stated above, he's incredibly gross to the point of being uncivilized, filthy, and unclean. He also provides way too much gross-out and toilet humor than necessary; an infamous example of this is drawing a trail of slime on a wall while he, Gene and Gerald follow Dr. Dirk and Deathbeak and then using his bad breath on the earwax monster in "When Earwax Attacks". He also likes being in the bowl of a toilet as seen in the pilot.
5. He is terrible at being a well-written main protagonist of the series since he is very bland and one-dimensional.
6. He receives little-to-no character development throughout the show whatsoever.
7. Most of the facial expressions he makes are extremely hideous, uncanny, and creepy.
8. He lacks any form of comedic charm to his disgusting habits, and it comes off as unfunny due to his predictable gross-out jokes.

Redeeming Qualities

1. He was far more likable and slightly pleasing in the comic books.
2. Despite being disgusting and irritating, he is very nice and polite to those around him (at least whenever he's not fighting crime), much like in the books.
