Barry Robinson

Barry Robinson is the friend of Steve in the TV series "American Dad!". He is generally a good friend of Steve, however he takes vitamins that retard his brain to prevent him from being evil. While drugged Barry is mentally retarded, immature, and constantly makes childish remarks. If he doesn't take these vitamins he becomes evil, and speaks with a voice that sounds like Gary Oldman. When he is not drugged he is intelligent, can easily manipulate people, and is very good at planning out his crimes, so he doesn't get in trouble. It is very likely that his insane personality comes from his unattentive parents, as several times he has revealed that his parents don't care about him, and has also hinted several other bad things about his parents as well. Evil Barry is only seen once in the episode "With Friends Like Steve's". In this episode after an extended stay at the Smith's house, Barry starts to hang out with Stan and Stan eventually takes him off his vitamins. As a result, he becomes evil and tries to manipulate Stan and Francine into thinking Steve is a bad kid. He does so by stealing Stan's beloved Tara Reid commemorative plate, makes Steve touch it, breaks them while wearing gloves, and with the essence of Steve's fingerprints Steve is framed and sent to a juvinille detention island. While Steve is away Barry goes insane and tries to kill Stan, but Steve returns from the island with one of Barry's pills and retards him again. After this episode Evil Barry is never seen again.
