[edit] Irwin's Love for Mandy
Irwin is Billy's closest friend (next to Mandy and Grim). He is a nerdy character who longs to gain the admiration and affections of Mandy, who doesn't like him at all. He often aspires to be cool, but he frequently fails in both goals, typically embarrassing himself. In the episode Scythe for Sale he used Grim's scythe to hypnotize her and make her his obedient love slave, which is his closest attempt at winning Mandy so far. Irwin is timid and nervous, but can come off cocky. Despite his friendship with Billy, he seems to harbor some subdued hatred or jealousy towards his incompetent friend, due to the attention Billy receives from Mandy, not realizing that Mandy treats both with equal disrespect.

[edit] Irwin, Billy, and Grim
Irwin usually fails at everything, but he beat Billy in a jousting contest in Terror of the Black Knight. Also, in the episode It's Hokey Mon! (a spoof on Pokèmon), Irwin and Billy beat two kids in an alley in a Hokemonsters battle. Irwin's good intentions usually backfire. In Duck! he tried to bail Grim out of jail, but he did not have enough money. He can be helpful sometimes. In the Halloween special he endured a lot of slapstick-esque pain which actually made many of the pumpkins die of laughter, literally, they blew up. In Modern Primitives, he gave Mandy, Billy, and Grim a ride, with the help of Grim's scythe, to locate Fred Flintstone when he went on a future shocked, carjacking, kidnapping rampage. Irwin was inadvertedly turned into a werewolf by Grim in Tween Wolf and was taken by Billy as a pet dog, until Grim used a "Were-Flea" to cure him.
