Mr. Landlord is the main antagonist of the Smiling Friends episode "A Allan Adventure". He is the psychotic landlord and archenemy of Allan Red, whom the landlord desperately wishes to simply hang out with in his apartment. This leads him to mastermind an entire plan to sabotage Allan's quest for a box of paper clips.
He is voiced by the series' creator, Zach Hadel, who also voiced Mip, Gnarly, DJ Spit and Satan in the same show.
Appearance[]
Mr. Landlord is a humanoid critter with pale blue skin, a gangly and emaciated body, and two large eyes on the top of his head. His eyes are different colors—one green and the other pink—with both scleras slightly red. He has three thin hairs sprouting from the back of his head, large gums, and yellow teeth.
He typically does not wear clothes, but at the end of the episode, he dons a brown trench coat over a suicide bomber's vest.
His skin turns pale when he comes back to life at the morgue, gaining small bumps and warts across his body.
Personality[]
Mr. Landlord is deranged and eccentric, even by Smiling Friends standards. He has highly specific, peculiar desires and interests, like wanting to smoke weed, drink DIET soda, and play Burnout: Revenge on the PS2 with Allan. He is completely obsessed with Allan, to the point of spending $750,000 and over eight months planning an extremely elaborate scheme with the ultimate goal of forcing Allan to hang out with him. To this end, he is willing to kill himself and everyone in the apartment complex by suicide bombing the building if Allan does not comply with his demands.
When Allan does finally hang out with him, Mr. Landlord proves to be incredibly unpleasant to be around, behaving obnoxiously and childishly as the two play video games together by talking smack. He constantly rams Allan in the game and accuses him of not even trying. However, after Allan foils his plan, he attempts seppuku, believing that he has failed his ancestors, showcasing his bizarre sense of shame and dignity. He later comes back to life, and insists that Allan will hang out with him again, exemplifying his persistence.
Due to his deranged obsession, he is very shortsighted, neglecting the fact that he could have simply arranged for Allan to hang out with him as part of Allan's job as a Smiling Friend. His elaborate scheme was also pointless, as Allan would have found the note leading him to the apartment even without the adventure. Despite this, he was at least intelligent enough to concoct an entire day for Allan.
Mr. Landlord has a strange speech pattern in which he randomly screams certain words of a sentence. He is also seen exhibiting other strange behaviors, such as scurrying around his apartment complex and contorting his face and body in disturbing ways.
Biography[]
As Allan goes through his morning routine, Mr. Landlord comes to his door and invites Allan to hang out with him, where they can smoke weed, drink DIET soda, and play Burnout: Revenge on the PS2. Allan declines the offer, as he has to go to work. Mr. Landlord tells Allan to suit himself.
At work, Allan is assigned to pick up a box of paperclips for the office. Unfortunately, every place in the city is out of them, save for a single store that has one box. The paperclips are repeatedly stolen from Allan—first by DJ Spit, leading to an air battle with the US military, then by Bigfoot, and finally by a crew of skeleton pirates. When Allan finally gets the box back, he finds it empty, except for a note directing him back to his apartment complex. Once there, he meets Mr. Landlord, who reveals that he orchestrated Allan's whole day, having spent $750,000 of his own money, planned for over eight months, and employed dozens of paid actors and animatronics. The end goal of this elaborate scheme was to force Allan to hang out with him. Allan attempts to simply knock Mr. Landlord out and take the paperclips back, but Mr. Landlord reveals that he is wearing a suicide bomber vest and threatens to destroy the city unless Allan hangs out with him. As the two play Burnout: Revenge, Mr. Landlord makes fun of Allan for being terrible at the game. However, Allan uses one of the paperclips to disable Mr. Landlord's vest. His plan foiled, Mr. Landlord commits suicide by stabbing himself with a katana mounted on the wall.
In the post-credits scene, Mr. Landlord comes back to life at the morgue and begins making plans to force Allan to hang out with him again.
