## Appearances

### Debut

"The Circus Man Trapped Animals"

This **man**, known as the **circus man** in "The Circus Man Trapped Animals", the **stranger** in "Strangers Are Danger", and the **magic man** in "The magic man escapes the baby from the magic cage!", is a minor character on *BillionSurpriseToys*.

## Appearance

The man is a portly gentleman with a bulbous nose above a neat brown handlebar moustache. Like many characters on the series but somewhat unusually for an adult male, he has prominent pink lips. He has a brown mullet and blue eyes.

In "The Circus Man Trapped Animals" and "The magic man escapes the baby from the magic cage!", he wears a bowler hat, a bowtie, a suit jacket, a tailcoat, a belt with a gold buckle and a pocket-watch's chain attached, and black boots. However, in the former video his hat and tailcoat are mustard yellow, his jacket brown with gold buttons, his trousers brown and pinstriped, his bowtie blue and his shirt manilla-white. In the latter video, his hat and coat are purple and the latter much shinier. His shirt is now yellow, as are the buttons on his turquoise jacket, which has a pattern on it not seen before. His trousers are hot pink and no longer pinstriped, and his bowtie is red.

In "Strangers are Danger Song", his outfit is quite different. His hat is grey with a large brim, and his coat is now a trenchcoat. Beneath it, he still wears the belt, but it now constrains a simple blue button-up shirt. His trousers are black and his boots are unchanged.

## Traits

The man is an unusual figure in that he has been shown both as a figure of good and of bad. In his debut, "The Circus Man Trapped Animals", he commits the titular crime with clear villainous relish, and is shown as a cruel, abusive, greedy man who cares naught for the well-being of those animals unfortunate enough to be forced into his circus. This villainy, however, is as nothing to his second appearance, "Strangers are Danger Song", wherein he is portrayed as inarguably the most wicked character in the entire series, and a character frankly unusually evil for a dreadful YouTube kids' cartoon. In it, he lures Zayy, Johny, and Dolly away from the playground with sweets and balloons, before tying them to a tree and taunting them, saying "[...]Little kids, you've no choice. I'm going to take you away from here," showing no remorse even as they burst into tears. He ultimately receives no known comeuppance for this, as at the sound of the police sirens (summoned by James) he leaves them tied up and escapes.

In "The magic man escapes the baby from the magic cage!", however, he is, seemingly, an entirely innocent and kind figure. Here, he works as a stage magician, entertaining children with real magic using his magic stick. When Zayy, in a vile facsimile of Prometheus' noble sacrifice, purloins the stick for his own selfish pleasure and inadvertently is locked in a cage, the magic man bears no grudge towards the thief and gladly frees him—if he were truly harbouring the same predelictions as in "Strangers are Danger Song", he would surely have taken advantage of the cage to transport Zayy away, suggesting that his magician job and friendly demeanour is not merely a front to lure in children.

It is possible that the three men are, in fact, different people—perhaps identical triplets (or peradventure even cousins). This would explain their wildly different behaviour.

## Typology

This man can be seen as the antitype to a previous character on the series—Uncle Bob. A minor character in the first two "seasons" of *BST*, Uncle Bob and this man share an astonishing number of similarities. They are both:

* Caucasian men with blue eyes and brown hair as well as a moustache but no beard.
* Recurring side characters who work a different job whenever they appear.
* Characters who have been portrayed both as good and bad.
* The subjects of a "stranger danger" video in which they are inexplicably portrayed as the titular stranger despite having met the main cast before.
* The only recurring human men on the series besides James.
* Known to have dressed in a blue button-up shirt.

All this could even imply that the man is in fact a redesigned Uncle Bob. If this is the case, however, the man's clear unrelation to the Johny-Family (though Uncle Bob was sometimes portrayed as unrelated to them also) would imply he is not called "Uncle Bob". This, along with his different appearance, means that he is probably a different character, even if he is extraordinarily similar.

One other thing to note is that as the "stranger", he tells his captives "you've no choice". This hearkens back to a line spoken by Chiya in "Dolly and the Baby are playing with bubbles!": "you don't have any choice". Chiya was heavily associated with Uncle Bob, who is the foremost of his various lookalikes and was occasionally portrayed as his father. Whether this has any significance is not known.
