The following is a list of characters seen in the American animated television series Frisky Dingo.
Contents |
Killface (real name Evelyn) is a main character of Frisky Dingo. A muscular, maniacal super-villain, Killface is an alien with pale white skin, red eyes, a skull-like face, and feet resembling huge clawed talons. He talks with a British accent. Killface does not appear to be clothed, nor does he appear to possess external genitalia, despite having a son by the name of Simon. He has superhuman healing abilities, having once survived most of his chest being blown away.
Killface has constructed the Annihilatrix, a rocket device designed to propel the Earth directly into the sun. However, having spent twenty billion dollars developing the Annihilatrix, Killface has insufficient funds for a media buy with which to market his global takeover.
Xander Crews (also known as Awesome X or "Barnaby Jones") is a superhero and owner of Crews Enterprise in Frisky Dingo. He is a 32 year-old parody of numerous 'playboy billionaire' superhero archetypes. Crews has no moral qualms about killing. By the time of the series, Awesome X and the Xtacles had effectively eliminated the supervillain threat, making superheroes unnecessary. Stan, Crews' second-in-command and head of the board of directors, quickly announced Awesome X's retirement unbeknownst to Crews. Xander prefers to play superhero and waste money on his own entertainment.
Awesome-X maintains a team of high-tech armored soldiers, the Xtacles, and their flying base, the Xcaliber, at five million dollars a year, to help him in his endeavors.
Crews is also the very proud owner of Train Island, and has been featured in two adult films during his more lean pecuniary years: "Head of the Ass" and "Check Me Out, I Suck". For the former film, Crews participated in the award-winning documentary "The Making of Head of the Ass: The Documentary about the Porno".
Simon is the son of Killface. He is an emotionally unstable, gangsta-rap listening, overweight, blond-haired child version of Killface that mumbles everything he says. He enjoys eating Cap'n Crump brand cereal endorsed by his favorite rapper Taqu'il (although he often ends up smashing the bowl on the floor). Killface yelled at him for having snacks.
It is stated in the episode "The Miracle" that Simon is gay, and his apparent boyfriend is the LARPing hobbit Bobo T. Baggins. However, a later episode has Simon telling his father that he lied about being gay to spoil Killface's presidential aspirations.
Stan is the head of the board of Crews Company and runs the day-to-day operations of Crews Company in Xander Crews' absence, or when Xander just doesn't care enough to come to the office. In the first season, Stan is one of only six people to actually know Awesome-X's secret identity (the others being his subordinate worker Watley, three role playing nerds, and a prostitute). His character often provides a voice of reason, which Xander consistently ignores. The company board of directors is filled with flesh-eating Stan clones. He has also set up Xander's death with the Xtacles. He has spent some time as the Vice President of the United States.
Sinn is Killface's sexy female servant. She has a mechanical arm (Killface ripped the real one off) and her speech has an electronic effect. Sinn is romantically involved with Arthur, and often refers to Killface as "Sire."
When Killface fires Sinn, replacing her with Barnaby Jones (a.k.a. Xander Crews), she joins the Xtacles under the alias of Hooper. She takes them over due to all the Xtacles being attracted to her. She is shot by Valerie after attempting to have sex with her.
Grace Ryan is a television reporter who often covers Awesome-X's battles. Grace considers herself to be Xander's girlfriend and desperately wants to bear his children, although Xander takes their relationship much, much less seriously and does his best to break things off with her. Grace is unaware that Xander is secretly Awesome-X.
Grace often proves to be pushy, obnoxious,clingy and self-idolizing (to the point where even her news crew wishes for her death.) Due to this, Xander does not respect her and often acts coldly toward her, going so far as to hire a prostitute. Despite Xander's attitude toward her, Grace remains fanatically devoted to him, even freezing some of his semen without his knowledge, which she later uses to impregnate herself. Grace spends some time under a maniacal persona known as 'Antagone,' which she adopts due to radioactive superintelligent ants that periodically take control of her brain. She is killed (As Antagone) by her own mutated child who devours her head upon birth.
An intern at Crews' Company and inventor of the Antfarm Keyboard, Arthur Watley was Xander's initial idea for making a new villain, "The Dread Lobster," a half-man, half-lobster, and had his hands removed and replaced by giant crustacean claws. At first, Watley's body began to reject the claws but he pulled through and began to change into a giant crab. Watley then falls in love with Antagone, but he is soon beheaded by Wendell in a fit of jealousy. Afterward, his body is cooked and eaten by the Deceptacles (formerly known as the Xtacles).
Phillip Mazzone[1] (Phil) appears early in the series and is the apparent Program Manager of the Annihilatrix. He is a pudgy, bald-headed, Jason Alexander-type, with a distinct lack of ethical propriety. His proximity to the Annihilatrix during its construction has given him cancer, a condition which his wife, Lorraine, can not abide as she kicks Phil out of his house after hearing his diagnosis. This forces Phil to move in with his employer, Killface, even though he is suing him for his condition.
Unable to settle with Phil, Killface's assets are frozen and ultimately turned over to him. Phil then sells the principal asset, the Annihilatrix, for $20,000,000,000 (or, rather, a 20 billion dollar cashier's check written to "Cash"), and then pays Killface a visit with complementary pickles. There, an attempted Vitoxin, (ochrocarpus longifolius), poisoning fails to kill Phil as he has made himself immune of the contaminant through incremental self-dosing. Then, on the Killface patio, the now less-fat and cancer-free Phil is shot through the head by Valerie whilst aiming for Killface.
The Xtacles are Awesome-X's band of hetero-questionable mercenary super soldiers. They see Awesome-X as a cool, friendly boss and are eager to please him. They are extremely violent and tend to have a high mortality rate. Although individual members of the group are often referred to by name (Mike, Fat Mike, New Fat Mike, Clint, Cliff, etc.), the Xtacles tend to have very similar (or often the same) voice. The Xtacles also have a tendency to be easily distracted from their objectives, and are very prone to suggestion. Their trademark catchphrase is the exclamation "Boosh!" Apparently their contract required them to accept having a remote controlled explosive in their helmets, which Stan later uses to blackmail them into finding Xander Crews when he went missing. Xander does not realize that they are men in power armor and instead believes them to be robots. This unfortunately results in one of their deaths when he tries to take him apart and reassemble him in a flashback during season two. Multiple characters assume control of the Xtacles at various points in the series including Xander, Stan, Sinn, and Valerie. The Xtacles change their name to the "Deceptacles" (and begin wearing black armor instead of red) when Sinn takes command. During this period they also create a theme song for themselves that parodies the Transformers theme -- "Deceptacles! More than you bargained for!"
Ronnie is an Xtacle of ambiguous sexuality who speaks with a heavy Slavic accent. He has a homoerotic fixation with Xander Crews. The Xtacles commonly refer to Ronnie's desires to rape. Ronnie spends the majority of his screen time pantless as the bottom half of his armored suit was stolen by Xander Crews. Ronnie was apparently crushed to death by a gigantic pair of Haggar pants in episode 208.
Taqu'il (alternatively spelled T'aquil, Ta'quil, or Taq'uil) is a world-famous rapper whose videos are, apparently, in heavy rotation. He was Killface's presidential running mate, helping gain votes by assuring black people that Killface will eventually be assassinated, making him president. He does spend some time as president. He is seemingly killed by the creature known as Cody 2, when he willingly jumps into its mouth while holding a bomb, leaving the creature unfazed and everybody confused as to why he did it.
Commonly referred to as Val, Valarie spends time as the high-strung, abused assistant to Killface. Angered at the abuse, she tries to kill Killface and Xander Crews many times. She also bought Ronnie's robot pants from Simon, which she used to escape after one her failed assassination attempts. Along with Sinn and Antagone, she establishes the "Sisterhood of Chaos" which quickly took control of both the Decepticles and the Annihilatrix. However Valerie soon became tired of sharing power and killed Sinn (after briefly seducing her as a lesbian) and attempted to kill Antagone.
Claims to formerly be a member of the Department of Labor (on loan from the CIA, which neither confirms nor denies Wendell's involvement) investigating Torpedo Vegas' underground rabbit fights. He later becomes part of the Secret Service and Killface's main bodyguard during his campaign for the Presidency. Wendell tends to kill needlessly. At one point, he claims to be a racist.
The main character of The Xtacles spinoff, Jack Taggart is the former leader of the Xtacles, and currently the acting leader. His armor has silver shoulder and forearm parts, differentiating him from the other Xtacles. He also has a scar over his right eye, the origin of which is unexplained. He is suicidally loyal to Awesome X.
A.L.E.X. is the Xcalibur's holographic computer. She takes the form of a blond woman in a skin-tight blue suit, though it has been shown that she can change her form. A.L.E.X. is the voice of reason to the usually impulsive and idiotic Xtacles (though she is rarely listened to).
Nearl is a mentally disabled homeless man whose eyes Killface and Xander Crews tried to steal. He is later used as a substitute for Xander Crews by the Xtacles, who learn that he is in fact the long lost twin brother of Xander Crews, forced to live in a mental hospital by his parents, who preferred to think of him as dead. He is soon shot in the back of the head by Ronnie the Xtacle to prevent the series from becoming any more complicated. The corpse is then found by the three nerds of the previous episode, the last two attempt to reanimate it. Nearl may be a loose reference to Tony Stark's mysterious twin brother, Gregory.
Hooker is a prostitute that discovers Xander is Awesome X. She parlays this into becoming a millionaire and stealing his mansion.
Ashley is the negligent secretary of Xander Crews. She frequently informs him of meetings and calls that are several minutes late, and at one point is noted as not even being on-site. Although she is never seen on-screen, her name can be seen on Xander's phone many times throughout the series as she does her job, rather poorly.
Twins, they are kidnapped by Killface to help promote the destructive power of the Annihilatrix. Both attended USC Film School and became victims of Killface's murderous rages.
Mr. Ford is an affable, bald-headed, older black man with a fast, marble-mouthed, manner of speech. This, combined with a short-tempered intolerance for all who do not understand him directly, makes Mr. Ford a difficult character to comprehend. He is a straight-forward speaker, able to say whatever is on his mind with impunity to whomsoever hears it. In consequence, his comments are often blunt, inappropriate, sometimes vulgar, but always appreciated for their honesty and matter-of-fact directness.
Mr. Ford takes on many jobs throughout the series, beginning as a pet shop owner, (though we do see him earlier, and much more AFROIER, as an attendee at a hospital for severely retarded children), and concluding as President of the United States of America. Through the auspices of a "corrupt Supreme Court" and "more specifically, Stephen Breyer," Taqu'il becomes America’s first black president. Mr. Ford is appointed Acting Secretary for Homeland Security; and only following the ostensible death of President Taqu'il’s entire cabinet, and the unfortunate ant-poisoning of the House Speaker and President pro tempore of the Senate, (at Mr. Ford’s own doing), does Mr. Ford become the second Mr. Ford to become President Ford of the United States.
We know that Mr. Ford is fond of the ladies, fond of golf, and concerned with "Double-keggers" or "Doppelgängers," perhaps both. He comments upon his ubiquity within the series thus: My ass is everywhere.
The character "Mr. Ford" is played by a "Mr. Ford".
Darcelle Jones is a beloved and adored female African-American star reporter for Team Jaguar News. Grace openly hates her, thinking (correctly) that Darcelle is out to steal her glory. Later Jones seemingly perishes in a plane crash.
Old Spice is an elderly man from China. He helps Killface and Crews escape from a sweatshop. Xander hires him as an advisor. Old Spice betrays Xander to live in his mansion with 'Hooker'.
In the first season, Old Spice's lines in Mandarin are correctly subtitled. However, in the second season, Mandarin lines are sampled from first season episodes with new, incorrect subtitles.
Torpedo Vegas is a gangster who organizes illegal sporting events in Chinatown. He kidnaps Killface's son but lets him go when impressed by his father's sense of character.
The nerds are three geeks that are obsessed with things like Dungeons & Dragons, Star Trek, and Live Action Role-Playing Games. They are always seen costumed respectively as a halfling (Bobo T. Baggins), a knight (Steve), and a wizard (Kevin).
While preparing for Larpstock, the nerds meet Xander Crews when Ronnie's Xtacle pants ran out of power and Xander falls from the sky onto their gazebo. They agree to drive Xander around and all three nerds are beaten up by Antagone. The nerds meet Nearl's corpse when it falls from the sky onto the same gazebo, and they later throw him off of a building. From nearby, Valerie shoots Kevin dead with a sniper rifle.
In an homage to Weird Science, the two remaining nerds try to bring Nearl back to life. While filming a Larp video, Steve captures Xander's campaign jet as it crashes into the ground because of Simon's missile attack. Bobo is a homosexual who has dated Simon, and is responsible for the RPG missile attack on Killface, having received the weapon from Simon on a blind date, is led by a photoshopped picture of Simon's head on his father's body. Mr. Ford later uses the same launcher to shoot down Air Force One with Stan and President Taqu'il on board. Bobo also received the Annihilatrix spare coupling from Simon, and gave it to Wendell in exchange for performing a sexual favour.
Dottie Bunch is Killface's presidential campaign manager. It is implied that she has helped several politicians succeed in the past, and she has inside information on some of America's leaders. She is a heavy smoker and often spends Killface's campaign money on expensive, imported vodka. She has been known to make obscene advances on Wendell, but spends more time insulting him. She is a spin-doctor and turns Killface's missteps into good publicity.
Dottie proposed and convinced Killface to make Taqu'il his running mate. She and the entire election team are nearly killed from Bobo's errant missile, but fortunately Killface's chest absorbed most of the explosion. Dottie is still injured, receiving a broken arm and her hair starts to fall out. In a flashback, she is accidentally shot while presenting Killface's new campaign advertisement to an Xtacles focussing group that degenerated due to bad grape soda, but apparently she made a full recovery. After Killface was unprepared for an upcoming presidential debate, Dottie berates him and throws a barb about the failed Annihilatrix. Killface gets upset and angrily shoots Dottie in the head, killing her instantly.
Baby Lamont is a penguin that was trapped on an ice floe, and became the poster child for global warming. Lamont's gender is never revealed, but it is assumed he is a male penguin. Lamont is intelligent and can understand human speech.
After accidentally curing global warming, Killface adopts Baby Lamont to be his animal mascot for the presidential campaign. Killface accredits most of his popularity to Baby Lamont's support. Lamont is frequently chirping and can only be silenced by being fed a fish. Taqu'il torments Lamont constantly, and Killface alternates between treating Lamont nice or mean. Killface gets upset at the Haggar Pants Debate after Carter Hawkins reveals that Killface isn't qualified to run for presidency. Baby Lamont is "accidentally" crushed to death when Killface uses him in a strong upper-cut that breaks Xander Crews' neck.
Simone is a homeless prostitute and a heroin addict. Her speech is slurred and incompehensible, probably because of her heavy drug use. Her lack of breasts, and the fact that she probably sodomized Xander Crews at some point prior to meeting his daughter suggest that she is transgendered.
Xander meets Simone in the year after the Annihilatrix cured global warming, when Xander is living on the streets. Simone is hired as the secretary for Xander's Outreach Center, based out of a cardboard box, and becomes employee of the month. At one point, Xander mistakes Simone for dead and leaves her in a dumpster. To get an IOU on a sexual favour, Wendell trades Simone with Ronnie's old pair of Xtacle pants; with thus become Simone's Kickin' Pants. Simone is last seen attacking Killface's Minivan.
Carter Hawkins is the host of the right-wing pundit show "Carter Hawkins Show." Through the run of Season 2 he is shown mediating the presidential debate, eventually informing both candidates that neither of them are eligible to run. Hawkins is a take on American cable news pundits in the vein of Chris Matthews and Glenn Beck.
Harper Ellis is the "suspiciously handsome" pundit representing the left-wing on the "Carter Hawkins Show". The character is based on - and voiced by - Ellis Henican.
Cody 2 is a gigantic, soft-skinned white mutant as tall and wide as the Annihilatrix. At birth he was the size of an overweight child, but quickly grew exponentially into a huge monster. He is the half-human, half-ant offspring of Antagone and Xander Crews via artificial self-insemination. "His" gender is unknown; it is implied that "he" is male because Wendell names him Cody 2, after his former partner. Cody 2 is extremely intelligent and seems to understand Wendell's talking.
After birth, Cody 2's first act was to kill an exhausted Antagone by biting her head off. Wendell quickly tamed Cody 2 with a belt and setting boundaries and began to ride Cody 2 around the Town. After several stops, Cody 2 and Wendell reached the Annihilatrix and attack several main characters there. Ta'quil, armed with some sort-of machine, jumps into Cody 2's mouth and is swallowed whole. A spaceship carrying several of Killface's species arrives. It shoots Cody 2 several times, and he dies.
