“ | Dance with me, Lampy! | „ |
~ Awful Alvin with his fake sidekick Lampy and his most famous quote. |
“ | Just you wait, LarryBoy. Soon, I will rule Bumblyburg. Me, Awful Alvin! EHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! | „ |
~ Awful Alvin expressing his motives. |
Awful Alvin is one of the main antagonists of the animated series LarryBoy: The Cartoon Adventures. He is one of LarryBoy's dangerous enemies. He also appeared in both the episodes and the books of The Angry Eyebrows as the main antagonist, The Yodelnapper as a background villain, and The Good, the Bad, and the Eggly as the secondary antagonist.
Alvin considers himself the "most awful mind of all time" potentially because of his name, and tries to prove it by creating evil schemes, inventions, and minions, which included: The Angry Eyebrows, the Overeasy-Egg-Ray, and his fake and silent sidekick named Lampy. Alvin is known for his signature "Villainous Dance of Villainy" and evil laugh, which he sometime uses randomly. Alvin was being hyperactive when he was being evil (that is to say, all the time).
He was voiced by Larry Whitaker in his first villainous role of LarryBoy: The Cartoon Adventures and currently Sean Chiplock in The VeggieTales Show, who also voices the Swamp Demon in Demon Slayer, Seichi Kohside in Housing Complex C, and Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat 11.
Biography[]
Origins[]
Alvin lives in an underground lair beneath the memorial statue of Sir Lester Bumbly, using the statue's monocle as a telescope to spy on Bumblyburg. He lives with his henchman Lampy, a fully insentient lamp with a crudely drawn face. Together, they tried to find ways to defeat Larry-Boy and take over Bumblyburg, having had dealings with the benevolent cucumber in the past and seeking revenge against him.
Unleashing the Angry Eyebrows[]
His master plan was to unleash his armada of Angry Eyebrows to make the citizens of Bumblyburg go insane. Things go well until Larry-Boy tries to stop his dastardly deeds, and decides to try and draw his anger. He succeeds, but his victory is short-lived when Larry-Boy encourages himself and the rest of the city to let go of their anger, freeing themselves of the eyebrows' influence. Enraged, Alvin commands his armada to destroy the plunger head hero. Retaliating, Larry-Boy drives the eyebrows into a machine called the Knit Master 3000, turning them all into an enormous nightcap. Knowing he has been utterly defeated, Alvin is overwhelmed with fury, thus seeing as the nightcap attacks him. Turning on him, he is trapped under the cap, and both the scallion and the hat are shoved together in a police car.
Collaboration with Greta von Gruesome[]
“ | Such an awful deed as this should only be done by the most awful villain, and I could out-awful you with one root behind my back! | „ |
~ Awful Alvin rightly telling down Greta Von Gruesome. |
Somehow, he escaped arrest and teamed up with Greta Von Gruesome to steal the the Over-Easy-Egg-Ray, but Larry-Boy thwarted his plans and had him arrested once again after he improved his relationship with another superhero called the Dark Crow.
Appearance[]
Awful Alvin is a scallion with bushy dark olive green eyebrows, green hair and fangs. He wears a high-collared Dracula-type cape, a purple vest with belt. He also wears a monocle on his right eye, which enlarges one of his eyes and gives him a crazed appearance.
Personality[]
“ | Now we shall do the Villainous Dance of Villainy, to signify the imminent performance of our villainous duties! | „ |
~ Awful Alvin |
Unspeakably ruthless, exceedingly unhinged, horrifically sadistic, and completely devoid of compassion and remorse; Awful Alvin is evil personified. Indeed, he is far from the hero in his own story, considering himself the "most awful mind of all time" possibly because of his name, even going so far as to call his crimes "villainous duties". He tries to prove he is pure evil by creating evil schemes and inventions. He finds insidious joy in the misery of even the simplest commoner, deploying his Angry Eyebrows to drive everyone insane and kidnapping Vickie for ransom and turning her clothes into overeasy eggs, seemingly for no reason at all. Truly despicable, Alvin's schemes usually revolve around wreaking havoc, psychologically damaging innocent people, and both literally and figuratively egging Bumblyburg, but at the very top of his list is destroying his archenemy Larry-Boy, though he will not hesitate to eradicate other people who directly get in his way, such as the Dark Crow. Another mark of his indescribably extreme insanity is his evil laugh, which he uses randomly.
Perhaps his only redeeming quality is his twisted desire for companionship, which induced him to create a fake sidekick by drawing a face with marker ink on a lamp. Not only does he regularly communicate with the lamp, which he affectionately calls "Lampy", and seem sincerely surprised when it does not answer, but he seems genuinely convinced that Lampy robustly supports his ideals and that it is imbued with its own mystical powers. Alvin enjoys performing his signature "Villainous Dance of Villainy", in order to signify the performance of his various agendas.
