Harold (billy And Mandy)





BIOGRAPHY

Billy's father (usually called "Harold" or "Harry" and sometimes "Fat Man" by Grim and the adult characters, but referred to as "Billy's Dad" by Mandy) is an overweight man with a large, bulbous nose and a lofty black Pompadour hairstyle (a.k.a. "The Pomp") which houses his Brain (''A Kick in the Asgard'') and of which is he duly proud. He is perhaps best described in the episode ''Runaway Pants'' as "a hard-working, loving family man... but not too bright." He strongly resembles his son in appearance, Personality and Intelligence (or lack thereof). Like his son he also has a number of unpleasant habits, including nose-picking, Flatulence , Male Chauvinism (especially around his wife, Gladys) and unapologetic idiocy.

His relationship with Grim is fairly jovial and he often refers to him by the nickname "Grimey". It seems that he doesn't realise that Grim is a Grim Reaper. In '' Grim Vs. Mom '', while Gladys was shocked when she saw the Grim Repaer in their house, Harold was introducing her to "Billy's new friend, George, Grimey... or something". Although he is allways friendly when around Grim, Grim usually doesn't like him as his constant misbehaviour and stupidity drives him mad.

He is convinced that his son is a genius, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary(''The Problem with Billy''). In his youth he lived in the same house where he is now raising his family (''The Taking Tree''), was a talented Ballet dancer (although his father didn't approve, as seen in ''Billy Idiot''), was accepted to Harvard (but his acceptance letter was stolen out of the mailbox by the Taking Tree), and is - somewhat improbably - a former Navy SEAL (''Dream Mutt''). His relationship with his wife Gladys seems to be a romantic and loving one despite their personality differences. He has said "I love you" to his son only once. Of course, Billy was not present during that time(he was apparently talking to a seagull).
