Welsh Phone Sex

Welsh Phone Sex is a phone sex line featuring ‘all the hottest and wettest Welsh content’ featuring erotic talk such as ‘I’ll fuck your brains out and then make you cheese on toast’, ‘Oh yeah, I'm rubbing on my own nipple. Let me just get my tracksuit bottoms off’, ‘Yep I'm waiting, but take your time. I've got a book here I'm reading’ and ‘I'll fuck you ragged and then wipe my cock on the curtains’.

The number is 1800 WELSH potentially making it a free call in Australia (see Episode 80).
The ‘Dad, What Do You Want for Christmas?’ Sketch

In the ‘Dad, What Do You Want for Christmas?’ sketch from Episode 51 a father allows his son to open a Christmas present (of a basketball) early.  When the son asks his father what he wants for Christmas, the reply is ‘I want you and your mum to come back’.  It then revealed that the mother and son have passed away due to reasons unknown and the dad wants his family to come back to life.

The sketch ends with the son saying, solemnly, that he and his mother are 'watching over you up in heaven’.
The Uber Driver Sketch

The 'Uber Driver Sketch' from Episode 22 starts with the inner monologue of a man named Trevor who is in turmoil because he is worried about making conversation with an Uber driver with the same name who is about to pick him up.  He is particularly worried about making conversation about the football which he doesn’t follow.

When the driver arrives Trevor shoots his him to avoid conversation.  After calling the ambulance Trevor waits with the driver until he starts the inevitable conversation about the football whereupon Trevor shoots him again, compromising him to a permanent end.

Trevor then catches the tram home.
Tim Omatic (no relation to Timomatic)

Tim Omatic is a 'nang connoisseur' (nangs being nitrous oxide bulbs). Tim says he has been using nangs for 20 to 30 years even though he is only 27. Tim also brings a ‘minion’ (from the film 'Despicable Me') onto stage, saying that it his 'friend'.

Omatic finishes his appearance on S3E02 by using nangs live on stage, including one he calls 'Kitchen World' which apparently has a 'creamy after-finish'. Greg wonders out loud whether this will be Tim's one and only appearance on the Grub.
The South of the Border Sketch

The South of the Border Sketch from Episode 94 involves environmentalist Monique Stockdale showing philanthropists some hooded plovers as part of a conservation project at Port Lonsdale.  She urges the men not to ‘look south of the border’ at her tufts of pubic hair.  She calls the police when the men are found found to have indeed looked south of the border.

In the subsequent court case the Party Judge asks everyone to approach the bar to do some shots.
The Prawn Party Sketch

In the Prawn Party Sketch from Episode 51 a man rings Triple 0 because nobody has attended his Prawn Party ('the party of the year') at which he has organised 50 prawns, individual party bags and the game 'Snipperclips' for the Nintendo Switch. When the operator tells him that his guests don't deserve his friendship he agrees, saying he is of a ‘pure Aryan bloodline and [he is] not a whore, slut or cuck for the leftist deep state media’.

The sketch concludes with a voice over saying that 'if you know someone who’s alone this Christmas it's probably because they’re a terrible, terrible person'.
Shirl and Clive

Shirl and Clive were attendees of the Melbourne International Conspiracy Theory Conference (see Episode 85).  Shirl claims that her husband Clive is actually musician Paul McCartney, and that Paul faked his death in 1966, had extensive facial reconstruction surgery and moved to Australia where the two met. Clive - who has a pronounced Welsh accent - doesn’t remember his life as a Beatle and claims never to have been to Liverpool.  He is 4’11” tall.
Trevor and Todd

Trevor and Todd host ‘That Feminist Podcast’ and like to ‘raise up female voices’.  They interview comedian Anne Edmonds in Episode 15 and ask her about what its like to be a woman in comedy.  Trevor has a saying: ‘the sexiest part of a women’s body is how they decide what to do with it’.

It is revealed later in the episode that Trevor and Todd were once a comedy double act and both had persistently asked Eddo out and given her offers of private mentorship.
Wendy Francis

Wendy Francis is from the Australian Christian Lobby. During a stay in Sydney during the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras she went to Myer and and had a drag show ‘foisted’ on her. She claimed the performance provoked a feeling of ‘guilt and complicity’ as she stayed to watch for 40 minutes. The performance left her ‘physically sickened’.

She tells similar stories about seeing topless women in a bar, men’s penises at an establishment called ‘Steam Mountain’ and, finally at a wild party that she joined where she slipped in and out of ‘many sexual situations’ seeing ‘things going into holes that do not belong [and] that would offend Lord Jesus’ (see Episode 16).
SlutNumber2

SlutNumber2 was a Twitch user that trolled Pastor David on his Good News Stream.  He claimed that liked to fuck dogs.  He is not to be confused with user Slutlover who later flooded Pastor David’s comments with ‘I love to fuck dogs’ at the conclusion on the inaugural stream, although potentially both accounts could be related (see Episode 80).
Steven Michaels

Steven (or Stephen) Michaels is described as a U.S. Congressman-turned-political pundit (although strangely he may also have been a Senator, being described as such in the docu-series ‘Who Is Funny Lady?’.)  He was charged with murder following Serious Husband’s disappearance and subsequently jailed for life (see: Serious Husband's Disappearance).

See Episode 69.
Mr. Johnson

Mr. Johnson is the protagonist from the 'Indecent Proposal Sketch' (see Episode 13). Mr. Johnson has a penchant for 'sucking up' burps so offered a young couple one million dollars each for the husband to burp in his mouth. This ended up being not as difficult a decision as Mr. Johnson imagined, seeing as the couple was only too happy to accept the money.
The ABC April Fool's Day Sketch

The ABC April Fools Day Sketch appears in Episode 19 and features Becky Lucas as Janet. Janet, a reporter from Landline, suggests the show do an April Fool's Day joke story about farmers with hoverboards.  This raises a range of problems with the producers and ABC staff including safety issues, fact based reporting issues, representation issues, the fact that the joke is a surprise and is played on April Fool’s day.

The committee decides to play the joke story instead in May, on ABC2 in the early hours of the morning with a preamble to telegraph the surprise and to change the ‘joke’ to be about skateboards, making sure they use actual skateboarding farmers in order to make it factual.

Despite the precautions the ABC is still forced into an apology for the ‘joke’ story.
Shenae (from Oak Park)

Shenae from Oak Park was a caller to the Ask Us Anything episode of the Grub (see Episode 83).  She was particularly interested in how many ‘kiddies’ it would take to dislodge ‘a bigger, older girl’ stuck in a waterslide.  Shenae describes herself as a fan of the Grub podcast but strangely seems not to have seen 'The Simpsons' (where a similar situation occurred) despite the cast urging their listeners to check it out regularly.

The answer given by Greg and Ben was 16-18 kiddies.
The Funny Lady Kidnap Sketch

In the 'Funny Lady Kidnap Sketch' from Episode 20 a man named Slam kidnaps a victim and asks for twenty thousand dollars in ransom. At first Greg and Eddo are dismayed to hear the victim has been roughed up, bound and gagged but upon revelation that the victim is Funny Lady they are reminded how annoying she is.  They then pay another twenty thousand to have her dropped in a river.

The sketch ends in a blast off designed to burn Funny Lady to death however she seems to be alive at the conclusion of sketch.
The Local Grot Sketches

The Local Grot Sketches appear in Episode 99.8.  In the series of three sketches each time the titular character claims to have been stung at the beach and demands to be urinated on.  Each time he tricks people into pissing on him before running away.

The sketch ends as the man runs off for the final time after convincing a couple to piss on him, to which they claim he was almost as bad as the man who wanted them to shit on him.
Pea

Pea was an attendee of the Melbourne International Conspiracy Theory Conference (see Episode 85).  Pea has a convoluted theory about the McDonald’s Corporation, the Nazi High Command and the soft-drink Fanta.  He somewhat dubiously claims that Hitler made him 'drink 25 litres of Fanta every day', which in turn made him very ill.  He says it is too late for him to stop drinking this much Fanta and as a result and he is now ‘Hitler’s slave’.  He pashes Ben at the conclusion of his interview.
Slinky Boy

Slinky Boy (or simply the 'little boy') is a perpetually lost little boy.  He typically wonders if people are his dad’s mate, his father apparently going to Coburg for a meeting and never coming back.  He also asks people where his lost Slinky is.  He has met various people on his journey, including Ben (see Episode 1), a captain of a ship (see Episode 2) the explorer Robert O'Hara Burke of Burke and Wills fame (see Episode 3), stage actor Sir Robert Findlay, during rehearsals of 'The Blowout' (see Episode 6) and President Trump (see Episode 8).

In Episode 12 it is apparent that Slinky Boy has been living in the studio for the last 12 weeks and had written 'Ben is stupid' on the studio's whiteboard.

Slinky Boy appears briefly in Episode 25 at the bunker the Grub is broadcasting from, saying his dad has now gone to Queensland for a meeting.

The little boy returns in Episode 31 looking for his dad's mate. Guest of the show Henry Stone claims that he himself is the dad's mate and the dad is fine, which Stone triumphantly claims effectively 'kills' the character of the Slinky Boy. In reply, the little boy then asks for his Rubik's Cube and for the whereabouts of his mother who the boy says went to Fawkner.

During the Melbourne lockdown of 2020 the Slinky Boy met Greg and Ben again (see Episode 88). Slinky Boy revealed that he found his dad's brother (Uncle Stan) in Coburg whereupon he was told that his dad is now in Fawkner (seemingly mirroring the information about his mum).  Later in that same episode Slinky Boy kicks a spoonbill which Greg describes as ‘cooked’.

Slinky Boy appears again in Episode 99 finding himself at GrubMart, repeating his story about his dad going to Fawkner.  The boy apparently had been there for three days so Big Bill Simmons (the manager) gives him a job as a stockboy for 50 cents an hour which is likely to be only semi-legal.

Slinky Boy returns in his first live episode (Episode 101) albeit as a disembodied voice who claims he is both ‘everywhere and nowhere’. His Slinky is still lost but is later found under an audience member’s chair.
Trudy and Rudy

Trudy and Rudy from Episode 49 live in Bowen in Queensland and consider themselves the protectors of The Big Mango, a tourist attraction there. They are still not over the fact that the Big Mango was 'stolen' in a publicity stunt by Nando's, a chain of chicken restaurants. The Portuguese spices that Nando's use have led Rudy in particular to be quite racist against people from Portugal, and also led to his vow to piss on any Nando's burgers that he sees.

As Randy does not live close to Nando's it does mean he is forced to urinate on KFC burgers instead, and seeing as he doesn't like to waste chicken, Rudy admits to eating the burgers afterwards.

The Liberal Party Strategy Meeting Sketch

The Liberal Party Strategy Meeting Sketch features in Episode 24.  It follow the confused conversation that lead to ScoMo’s baffling real life tweet ‘It is my vision for this country as your Prime Minister to keep the Promise of Australia to all Australians.’

The sketch ends with one character saying ‘I’m worried it doesn’t make sense’ to which the reply is ‘it doesn’t matter, we’re going to lose’ - a prediction that proved somewhat off the mark.
Professor Giles Fields

Professor Giles Fields, who was proclaimed the smartest human in the universe in 2014 and is known as the 'human encyclopaedia', was interviewed by the Grub in Episode 91.  It became apparent however that Fields was using a search engine to arrive at his answers during his conversation with Ben and Eddo in Episode 91.  When confronted by this accusation he replied ‘suck my dick, suck my dick, I’ve got a big dick, fuck you, fuck you’ and hung up.

Professor Giles Fields’ relationship to musician Giles Field is unknown.
Sylvia and Malcolm

Sylvia and Malcom are the brother and sister who appear in the YouTuber sketch.  After Grex77 brings them back to his shack and they see a camera set-up they suspect he is a pedophile. We find out that Grex77 instead wants to film a reaction video for YouTube, specifically to PewDiePie’s commentary video on Megawog’s video ‘Wogs vs. Aussies 201’ (see Episode 13).
Shmuli Pepperoni

Shmuli Pepperoni is a 14 year old boy with a self-described 'giant hog' (see Episode 102). Shmuli runs 'Shmuli's Pizza Pies' on Lygon Street, Melbourne where he sells meat only pizzas. One of his most popular pizzas is the '50 Meats Pizza' which has 50 different meats as toppings and also contains a 50 kilogram steak in the middle.

Shmuli Pepperoni’s relationship to Big Tony Pepperoni is unknown.
Papa Daddy

Papa Daddy is an unseen character from the 'Detective Bubby' television program sketch in Episode 25. After the dark web user 'Papa Daddy' steals $10 Million from the big banks and hacks the Federal Government Database he is suspected to be part of the adult baby subculture, where adults dress up as babies and other adults pretend to be their guardians.

Jenkins is sent by Detective Sergeant Munt to go undercover and find Papa Daddy, his first stop being to talk to Daddy Yum.
Spitty

Tim Spits, or 'Spitty', is a 23 year old man who appears on Episode 99.5.  He is the host of the ‘What’s Up?’ podcast, which features a bunch of mates (Hammo, Stevie and Gween) apparently ‘saying what’s up’.  At the time of the interview with Greg and Eddo they had recorded ‘about 3 episodes’.  Spitty is strangely reticent to reveal more about the podcast saying that he’ll 'save it for the pod’.
Peter Dutton

Peter Craig Dutton is a real life Australian Liberal Party politician serving as Minister for Home Affairs.

In the Grubiverse Dutton was in a sexual relationship with the AFP whom he convinced to raid the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on pretense of gathering information about their reporting on war in Aghanistan. According to the Grub, Dutton was really interested in suppressing expletive-filled tapes of himself gorging on triple-cheeseburgers and shitting himself at Engadine Macca's in 1997 before framing ScoMo for the same (see Episode 28).

Peter Dutton was made Grub of the Week in Episode 17 alongside Fraser Anning and many others.
Ribocort Godfrey

Ribocort Godfrey was a comedy mentalist who could 'read minds and put thoughts in people's heads'. He described himself as the ‘world’s most famous mentalist’, having formerly been mentored by Graham Mendelsohn. Godfrey was to appear in the 2019 comedy festival show ‘You Know What I’m Thinking’ however he committed suicide live on the podcast after being revealed to be desperately lonely in an interview with Greg and Eddo (see Episode 13).

One of Godfrey's more bizarre claims was that he had never seen a sandwich in his life.

Phyllis (from Sydney)

Phyllis is 52 and from the northern suburbs of Sydney.  Phyllis doesn’t work but her husband, Bert, is the chair of a bank (amongst other things) and has a town residence.  Phyllis apparently doesn’t go to the toilet, instead just pissing and shitting where she pleases.  She often says ‘fiddlesticks!’ (see Episode 83).

Phyllis calls again in Episode 99.7 having temporarily forgotten her own name, saying that knowing her name is someone else's responsibility.  It is early 2021 and Phyllis is going to the tennis, calling into the Grub to sort out the parking with her ‘Merc’.  Last time Phyllis was down to the tennis she hit a ball boy with her car which she says she is 'paying for'.

Phyllis seems oblivious to the fact that the Grub podcast is not in the best position to answer questions about the Australian Open.

Phyllis next appears in Episode 104.  She claims she was due to fly by private jet to Goa, India via New Zealand to see her guru and her friend Janine from her boarding school days. At this point she had already been vaccinated, somehow using her influence to obtain an early British dose of the vaccine. Unfortunately, she was blocked from entering India due to the second wave of Covid-19 there, even after she offered to pay the $66,000 fine in the form of a cheque.

Phyllis' driver is named Duncan.
Strudel Cat

Strudel Cat is a recurring sketch in the Grub that takes the form of a children's show that usually takes a dark turn. It follows the adventures of the naughty Strudel Cat and the sometime object of his pranks, Grandma Plops. The original sketch is mentioned as being omitted from Episode 39 but makes its first appearance in Episode 67 to much response from fans, leading to repeat appearances.

In Episode 101 Strudel Cat was performed at a live show. In the episode Strudel Cat pulls a prank on Grandma Plops, frightening her and making her drop the strudels for the afternoon picnic. After helping her dust off the strudels, Strudel Cat meets Michael the Magpie who Grandma Plops later describes as having 'so much darkness in his eyes'.
Nina Oyama

Nina Oyama is a much loved guest of the Grub podcast and has appeared in Episode 50. Although not the case in our reality, in the Grubiverse Nina is the writer and director of the motion picture 'Eggy Boys Goes To The Army' (featured in Episode 8), a nod to her real-life aversion to the original Eggy Boys sketch.
Mr. Shnreb

Mr. Shnreb is the asexual maths teacher who caught Timothy Sutton fingering Jessica Harris (and wiping the residue on his shirt) in 'The Blue Light Disco Sketch' before blasting off (see Episode 6). He is often heard to exclaim 'I'm asexual!'.

In Episode 8 it is revealed that Mr. Shnreb loves the film 'Eggy Boys Goes to the Army'.
Ronald

Ronald D. Gunch works in IT and owns several katanas (swords) and Viking axes. He also likes to wear a trench coat indoors because he can 'put blades inside'. Ronald first appears in Episode 9 where he decides to use the words 'dyke' and 'faggot' in their 'technical' usages seemingly in order to be provocative. In that same episode he also disputes the gender pay gap, citing Dr. Jordan Peterson who he is a big fan of.

In Episode 15 Ronald dreams he is Pure Logic Man, who can kill people and destroy things with pure logic. When woken from the dream he is told he must clean up faeces in the server room.

In Episode 21 Ronald makes an appearance in the Broken Photocopier Sketch where he has a run-in with (and also makes out with) HR Manager Phillipe de Shaun.

Ronald joins the Grub's special 'men's edition' episode (Episode 27) to discuss 'gentleman's fashion'. He catalogues what he is wearing that day: a trilby, a Samurai Champloo shirt tucked into camouflage cargo pants (complete with zips on the knees that can transform them to shorts), steampunk goggles ('they never go out of style'), steel capped army boots and fingerless leather gloves. He also carries an extendable baton.

In the same episode (Episode 27) Ronald also voices his preference for modesty in women's clothing, while making exceptions for anime characters.

When the Grub caught up Ronald after the 2020 Melbourne lockdown (see Episode 88) Ronald had put on a little weight after ‘eating a lot of meat and cheese’ to achieve ketosis. In that same episode we heard about Ronald's character of the Giggler from the graphic novel he has been working on. We also heard that Ronald had been playing a lot of the video game 'Among Us' and that one of his best friends is NightInvaderXX.

Ronald apparently had a job at GrubMart (in the AV department) in early 2021, although he apparently has a problem speaking down to customers (see Episode 99). In that same episode Ronald and a pregnant Roxy agree that although the sex is good they need to break up. They are still on good terms however as Roxy gives him a lift home from work and they get some takeaway KFC.
Turn Burgus

Turn Burgus is a restaurant critic who appears in the live Episode 101. He is annoyed that family packs from takeaway restaurants are not big enough, producing one from a McDonald's Family Restaurants takeaway bag to prove his point.  He then sings a ‘song’ about family packs.

His relation to the Corn Burgus sting is unknown.
Michael the Magpie

Michael the Magpie is a character in the Strudel Cat universe.  He was sentenced to prison after taking a life in a horrific drink driving accident. Grandma Plops warns young Strudel Cat to stay away from Michael after the prankster met the Magpie as he was doing his community service, on early release from his seven year prison stretch (see Episode 101).
The Hobby Shop Sketch

The Hobby Shop Sketch from Episode 45 features a man walking into a shop (‘Herm’s Hobbies’) looking for a hobby.  The employee, possibly Herm himself, has a broad definition of ‘hobby’ which includes several perverted sex acts, raising questions of whether Herm’s Hobbies is, in fact, also a sex shop.  The customer ends up buying a Latex mask which facilitates fecal matter being syphoned into his mouth, an act which Herm demonstrates.

The sketch ends when Herm offers to sell home movies of terrible car accidents, presumably for sexual gratification.

Also included in this sketch is some potentially libelous accounts of 'Baby' John Burgess's behaviour.
Principal Michaels

Principal Michaels is the principal from the School Assembly episode (Episode 99.6).  The principal introduces speakers at 'Inspiration Day' and also has to contend with misbehaving students such as Brian.

The principal had recently left Mrs. Michaels for Mary Seymour at the time he introduces her as a speaker, however Mary sees their previous sexual relationship to be now one of just friends.

At the conclusion of the episode Mary performs fellatio on Principal Micheals and another man named Robert in order to determine which is the real Principal Micheals (in what can be see as a suck off ending).

In a twist, neither man was Principal Michaels according to Mary.
The Cinema Seating Sketch

The Cinema Seating Sketch appears in Episode 44 where a couple take the assigning seating of another patron at a screening of a Pavarotti documentary and refuse to move.  The solution from the man whose seat is taken is to sit on top of the couple and make out with the male member of the couple.  At the conclusion Pavarotti asks whether the audience are enjoying the film.
Spooky Rich Asians

Advertised in Episode 37, 'Spooky Rich Asians' is a new show presented by Dracula’s Theatre Dinner Experience. According to the advertisement 'they’re rich, they’re asian and they’re spooky'.

Interestingly the voice used in the advert (provided by Ben) is reminiscent of Eddo's later character 'Spooky Experience'.
Wendy (from Biggin & Scott)

Wendy from Biggin & Scott Real Estate appears on the 'Success' episode, Episode 105, citing the market rise after the Covid-19 pandemic as a huge success.  Wendy seems oblivious to the plight of young Australians unable to enter the property market, her advice to people who don't own a house being to simply ‘buy one’.

Previous Episode: Episode 105

Following Episode: Season 3 Episode 2
Mingeflaps

Mingeflaps was one of a number of Twitch users that apparently ‘trolled’ Pastor David in his Good News Stream.  In his message Mingeflaps claimed that he likes to role-play as a baby by dressing up in a diaper and bib as well as sucking on a dummy and sippy cup.  He further claimed that he had taken to hiring women to swaddle him in a home-made adult cot even though he 'knows this is wrong'. Pastor David’s advice to him and others in a similar situation was to open a Bible instead of 'another packet of diapers' (see Episode 80).

Mingeflaps is also the username of a real-life Discochat user. It is not known whether the character from Episode 80 is a fictionalised version of the real Mingeflaps or whether they merely share the same name.
Timothy Slunt

Timothy Slunt was a contestant on the Grub Tank in Episode 86.  He claims that everyone likes to feel 'a poop inside them' and therefore he has designed a patented ‘poop insert’.  He gave a demonstration of the poop insert which lead to bleeding of the anus and the need for a hospital visit.  Ben bid for the company but Timothy wouldn’t accept less than $560 Billion for a 10% stake thereby valuing the business at $5.6 Trillion dollars (and thus more than the US Federal Reserve balance sheet in 2020.)
Predator Paintball

Predator Paintball (situated just outside the city) advertises firstly on Episode 5 and then again on Episode 27 of the Grub.  The manager in Episode 27 tells us that Predator Paintball is where he met his wife, Beverly, and also his best friend. He urges potential guests not bring alcohol.

In the somewhat rambling advertisement the manager also says that he will ‘force you to shoot your friend even though you don’t want to’.
Sing Sing with Mr. Ling

'Sing Sing with Mr. Ling' was a musical comedy album released in 2007 by self-proclaimed anti-PC comedian Kerry Cobber. Also known as 'The Chinaman Album', the release failed to sell, which Cobber attributes to the fact that it was released the day after the Jackson Jive incident on ‘Hey Hey It’s Saturday’.

The album is presumed to be profoundly racist.
Nor

Nor is a real life user of the Grub fan Discord server (a server also known as 'Discochat'). On 5 December 2020 he asked 'When is my dream date with Aunt Carol? After all this time she still hasn't responded to my date request I posted on MySpace' which was aired on the the 'Grub Bonus Chats Hello Friends' bonus chat episode in January 2021. Greg presumes this request to be ironic.

Aunty Carol was heard to equivocate on the answer, saying 'it's not Aunty Carol for hire' but that 'maybe [she] will [go on the date]' before devolving into a rant about Qanon.
Victoria Police

The Victoria Police are advertised in Episode 45 looking for new recruits who want to ‘coward punch a woman’, 'strip search little girls’ or ‘bash a mentally disabled man or blind person’.  Apparently Victoria Police are even happy if you have an ‘SS tattoo on your face’.  The Police’s slogan is ‘You can pretty much do anything and we’re totally OK with it!’.
PlantButt Startup

The PlantButt Startup advertised in Episode 90 is an idea from a South African gentleman.  The company would send out packages containing ‘seeds which you then put up your arsehole’.  After adding water (and perhaps fertiliser) a ‘lush beautiful indoor houseplant will start growing out your arsehole’.  It is explained that customers would then sleep on their bellies.

PlantButt's slogan is ‘the future is green’.
Scott Cam

Scott Cam (b. Scott Caminetti) is a real life Gold Logie award-winning Australian television identity.  In the Grubiverse he presents an advertising campaign in Episode 42 for Bumhole Spray Disease (or BSD) telling us that he was once hospitalised for spraying a full can of Daktarin Athlete’s Foot spray directly up his own arsehole.
Theodora Beatrix

Theodora Beatrix is a member of the 'witching community' and an attendee of the Melbourne International Conspiracy Theory Conference (see Episode 85).  She claims that some witches are ‘trying to gain control of the atmosphere’ and has a conspiracy theory about COVID-19 (which she calls Coven-19) that left Ben and Greg more perplexed than when the interview started.  Although hinting strongly that it was so, she would neither confirm nor deny that Dan Andrews is a witch.
The Spoonville Sketch

‘The Spoonville Sketch’ features a frightened individual bewildered at where she is.  After being threatened by a bully called Spiffer it is revealed that she is actually a spoon and, horrifyingly, in ‘Spoonville’, a collection of spoons planted in the ground designed to brighten children’s days during the COVID-19 pandemic (see Episode 89).
The DaryI Somers Centrelink Sketch

In the 'DaryI Somers Centrelink Sketch' from Episode 20 we hear the inner monologue of a man at Centrelink.  He used to work at an accounting firm but now his girlfriend has left him and he has had to sell his car.  He is on the verge of suicide when he spots a man he thinks is Daryl Somers, former host of 'Hey Hey It's Saturday'.  After mulling over whether to approach Mr. Somers, he does so and is greeted with the man stating ‘I suck dick for OxyContin!’.
Terry (from the Dad Milk Sketch)

Terry is the new dad in the Dad Milk Sketch from Episode 87.  He was told by Ethan, the farmer from from Dad Milk Farm, that breast milk does *not* come from women and thanks to a giant conspiracy that the milk actually comes from dads, after which it is injected into mums. Terry was then radicalised by being presented some Karl Marx to read (before the sketch ended with Terry being sucked of by Ethan and his wife, Kerbert).
Hammering Blow (W) (7)

If a model with Hammering Blow rolls a
natural (unmodified) 6 on its C roll in a melee
attack AND WINS, the model adds +2 to its
total. If he rolls a 1 on the melee roll, an
adjacent foe chosen by the opponent may
perform a Free Hack. If this Free Hack causes
the character with Hammering Blow to Recoil

The New York Manhattan Walking Tour guide

The unnamed New York Manhattan Walking Tour guide has a penchant for fingerings, having been fingered at at least three New York locales: Radio City Music Hall, the M&Ms store at Times Square and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. He then convinced an Australian couple to engage in digital penetration at the conclusion of a New York Manhattan Walking Tour (see Episode 18).
Serious Husband Crabs

Serious Husband Crabs (formerly Serious Husband Crabbing) is the largest crab distributor in the northern portion of the continental United States thanks to the work of Serious Husband Jnr., now deceased, (see Serious Husband’s Disappearance).  The operation was expanded ‘coast to coast’ after Serious Husband took over the family business, then Serious Husband Crabbing, after his father (Serious Husband Snr.) had his legs cut off in a golfing accident.

The Ocean Squirts Life of Pi Theatrical Dining Experience

'The Ocean Squirts Life of Pi Theatrical Dining Experience' (see Episode 88) is a theatrical dining experience dreamt up by Jorme from Ocean Squirts Luxury Beachside Accommodation.  Based on the 2012 Ang Lee film (and to a lesser extent, Yann Martel's 2001 novel) It stars Jorné, Jorme’s mother who is ‘quite old’, playing a tiger in a boat whilst guests are given pies and squirted. Express permission for the experience was given by presumed Queensland Premier, Jeremy Rags.

It is ‘cheap as the proverbial chips’ at $89.95 per adult, with children eating for free.

The On Hold Sketch

The On Hold Sketch from Episode 42 features a character (played by Greg) who is on a telephone call and is placed on hold.  While listening to the on hold music, he starts an improvised ditty that gets, hilariously, more and more profane including the line: "*livin' in a dick, livin' in a piss, i wanna piss onto your dick, and shit in to your shit, shit, shit*".  When the call is answered it is revealed that the man has been on hold to book a funeral for his dead son.

The sketch ends with the voice over 'This has been another terrific comedy sketch brought to you by the Grub'.
The Rat Café Sketch

The Rat Café sketch appears in Episode 48 where a man named Jonathan arrives at a newly opened café.  The manager says he was inspired by their friend Mary’s cat café to open this, a rat café.  The manager insists the café is clean despite there being a rat king in the second story as well as rats dragging ‘poopy’ nappies around, eating from fast food wrappers and giving birth to, and then eating, their young.

At the conclusion of the sketch it is then revealed that the many patrons of the café are held against their will. Jonathan then finds his own hands bound which has somehow happened without him noticing.
The Shadowman

'The Shadowman' is a Tony award-winning musical released in 2020 about a mythical Shadowman who visits people in the night and sprinkles ‘spice’ on their buttholes in order to turn their anuses a slightly darker colour. In a twist the musical ends up a romance.

Ben picked the musical’s introduction as one of his choices for the Hottest Grubhundred of 2020 (see Episode 84).
The Pleasure Brothers

The Pleasure Brothers, appearing in Episode 100, is an organisation promoting pleasure without penetration.  It is run by two men from Southern California although they are not technically brothers.  Marius, one of the pleasure brothers, demonstrates giving pleasure by shouting the word ‘China’ at the anus of Kyle, another pleasure brother.
The 60 Year Old Slut

‘The 60 Year Old Slut’ is the name of a comedy show by Mary Seymour which ran at the Brunswick Town Hall in the run up to Christmas 2018.  It was apparently advertised in the Moreland Leader.  Mary was happy with the reception, one night there being close to 20 people (in a 200 seat venue): largely friends and family including friends of Young Tony (one of her multiple lovers) (see Episode 4 and Episode 6).
Pop

A 'Pop' is a variation on a Blast Off, a way to end a sketch or interview. Usually one or more characters will grow larger until they explode in an exaggerated wet popping sound. It has been used numerous times, including the House Hunters International Sketch (see Episode 25), the Cubed Restaurant Sketch (see Episode 26), the interview with Tyson Reilly, professional complainer (see Episode 32), the Queefing Teacher Sketch (see Episode 38), the Hipster Instagram Sketch (see Episode 48) and the Office Cleaner Sketch (see Episode 91).

Notably in Episode 99.92 political satirist Craig Barry almost popped after he discussed Dr. Seuss in an interview (and dropped several racial epithets) but was instead wheeled out and deflated.

Block (4)

The model is equipped with a shield, or it has
a similar defensive ability that allows it to
lessen damage. Whenever the model suffers
an Out-of-Action, Recoil or Knockdown result
in combat, be it melee or ranged, roll a die. On

a 5 or 6, the effect is lessened: an Out-of-
Action becomes a Knockdown, a Knockdown

becomes a Recoil, and a Recoil becomes no
effect. Gruesome Kills may not be reduced. If
the model is also Heavily Armored, the Block
roll is performed AFTER taking the armor effect
into consideration.
The Block roll is at -1 if the figure is Prone or
in contact with 3 or more opponents. Since
the only effect that can be caused to a Prone
figure is an Out-of-Action result, the effect of
a successful Block is that the figure remains
on the ground and is not killed.
Free hacks, spells, and attacks performed with
magic weapons or by foes with the Flail Trait
may not be Blocked. See also Expert Block,
Magic Block, and Melee Block.
The Time Machine Sketch

The 'Time Machine Sketch' from Episode 16 features Luke McGregor inventing a time machine and taking Ben, Greg and Eddo 1000 years into the future into a post-apocalyptic hellscape.  Unfortunately, the time machine can only travel forwards in time and cannot get them home again.  Luckily, however, Luke manages to rig the time machine so that it can blast off.
Sue Evans

Sue Evans appears in the Millionaire Hot Seat Sketch from Episode 26.  In the sketch Sue admits to killing 44 boys to a policeman who has impersonated Eddie McGuire by playing the music from 'Millionaire Hot Seat' on his laptop.  Sue is then arrested on 44 counts of murder.

Sue Evans' husband's name is Bill and he was unaware of the murders, Sue having kept her serial killer life secret from him.
The Dad Milk Sketch

The Dad Milk Sketch is a sketch idea suggested by Patreon listener Peter and fleshed out by Greg as the play 'Dad Milk Farm' in Episode 87.  It involves the characters Ethan, Terry and Kerbert and a conspiracy about breast milk coming from dads and then being injected into women.  The sketch then devolves into socialist propaganda before culminating in a suck off.
Suck off

A variation on a Blast Off, a 'Suck Off' is a way to end a sketch quickly whereupon one character performs fellatio on another character.  This notably occurred in Episode 86 when Dr. Dianne Strize sucked off Ben and Greg after pitching the 'Psychology Sack' to them in the Grub Tank special. Somewhat unusually the ending is used in a tightly scripted sketch The Dad Milk Sketch in Episode 87.

A suck off is also used to end the School Assembly Episode (Episode 99.6) between Mary Seymour and Principal Michaels.

Philbo

Philbo is a struggling comedian, but as he says he has 'only been doing comedy for 13 years'.  He has appeared several times on the Grub including Episode 99.93 when he revealed his joke about the coronavirus.  He had locked himself away for 12 months working on a single joke: ‘You guys heard about corona? I’d rather have a Toohey’s New!’.  Philbo somehow built his whole 2021 comedy festival show around this joke, which he titled ‘COVID -19: Corona! Corona! Corona!’.

Philbo next appears in Episode 100, the live episode doing a two minute set touching on topics such as Dreamworld, Pokémon and spiders that Philbo found on the ground.
The virus

**The virus** is a recurring theme and event throughout the three games: Menagerie I: Exoptable Money, Menagerie II: Presentable Liberty and Menagerie: Archive. It is a deadly virus which causes infected individuals to feel increasingly unwell, symptoms include extreme lack of adrenaline. The symptoms would surface after a varied period of time, it would be nearly immediate as shown on Harvey Keller, or probably delayed like on protagonist in Menagerie: Archive, who showed little sign of symptoms. According to Doctor Money, 98% of the population have been infected with the virus in the beginning of Menagerie II: Presentable Liberty.

The virus was distributed by Doctor Money to the citizens in the game, it is portrayed as extremely contagious, merely opening the letters of the a contaminated letter would cause infection. It is possible the virus is also contagious by other means in Presentable Liberty, considering Salvadore discovered whole villages being annihilated by the virus.

In Exoptable Money and Presentable Liberty, a large population was dead by it, while in Menagerie: Archive, the resistance stated all citizens with a rank 81 or lower, aka. the lowest class of the society are infected by the virus. It is probably all of the citizens with rank 81 or lower died by the infection in most ends of this game. While it is possible the virus may have a cure, referred as "antidote", this cure is known to have serious adverse effect as referred in Exoptable Money, causing failure of vital organs. In Menagerie: Archive, the resistance claimed the antidote did not work. This contradicts with Doctor Money claiming it was working,

If the information of other games are considered valid in Archive, it would mean the antidote did not work, and eventually Doctor Money had no way to disinfect himself after killing everyone else in the world, and died of it. This might also mean in Archive, the protagonist is doomed to die in all endings, including two endings in Archive in which the protagonist gave all the files to Doctor Money in day 8, and Doctor Money either gave him freedom or let him continue his work, which should result in the virus killing him afterwards, although unmentioned in any ending of the game.

In Exoptable Money, the virus was created as a means to stop the east and west war as mentioned by Doctor Money. It may have succeed since after the war, there were not enough people on either side to continue fighting, or it might not be administered in the war at all. Nevertheless citizens are recorded to be infected by the virus afterwards. Doctor Money also sent contaminated letters to his employees to infect them, in order to force them to work for more money. Also, in Menagerie: Archive he sent similar letters to kill off unemployed citizens.
Steve Manly

Steve Manly is a 'chode survivor' and chode expert from the Institute of Chodes. We first meet Steve in Episode 27 in the lead up to 'Chode Awareness Week' where he discusses chodes (penises that are wider than they are long). Steve even brings in the chode of his friend Stefan that has fallen off (Steve explains that having a chode involves a lot of upkeep).

Steve Manly cannot look at, or cook with, portobello mushrooms because they elicit 'too much pain' such are his insecurities as a chode survivor.

Manly has been married to his wife for 5 years.

In the live Episode 101, Steve shows his chode to Eddo and Greg which repulses them both.
The Canned Bum Man

The Canned Bum Man sells canned bums. He calls himself ‘Colin’ despite claiming not to have an official name (on account of not knowing where he is from).  He sells cans of bums, and occasionally fresh bums, for $5 (or three cans for $40).

We first meet Colin in Episode 3 living in a room that strongly smells of musk lollies with The Red Man (also known as Gavin) who is a very fat, very red man that is barely human and screams all night.

The canned bums that Colin sells are in brine and unsealed. When asked their source he said that many were ‘already there’.  Colin said that he like to drink the ‘bum brine’ despite the bums being extremely foul smelling (based on Eddo and Ben’s reactions when they interviewed him in Episode 3).

Curiously, an advert for Colin's canned bum business airs in Episode 26 which features Colin's mum who Colin says he has 'found' after she also woke up in the room. Also revealed in that apparently Gavin, the Red Man has been kissing Colin's mum and that she in fact wants the Red Man to be Colin's 'new daddy'. The mother and son finish the advertisement by telling customers to find them by 'listening to the screams'.

In Bonus Episode 99.91 it is revealed that Colin has killed his mum but this is not discussed on the main episodes because the subject matter is too dark.

The Grub caught up with Canned Bum Man during Melbourne’s 2020 lockdown (see Episode 88) where he said that he was on ‘cloud ten’, rather than 'cloud nine' (late upgrading once more to 'cloud eleven').  Colin reported that the Red Man had grown larger and larger until he popped, leaving a large amount of pus.  Colin decided to use the pus in his canned bum business, and sold a huge number of his ‘bums in pus’ flavour on his online store making him fabulously wealthy.

Colin claimed he was apparently able to exit the room after the Red Man popped and to his surprise found himself in New York City. Colin told the Grub he had since moved to Adelaide and was running a distribution centre there for his bums in pus.  He took it as a sign of his wealth that his girlfriend was Gina Rinehart, and that he owned many magnets, exotic dogs and 350 titanium cubes. Colin claimed he liked to rub noses with Gina every morning before his first coffee.

In Bonus Episode 91 Colin claims to have invented 'movie night'.

In Bonus Episode 99 it was revealed that Colin's escape from the room was nothing but a dream. Gavin, the Red Man, had not popped and in fact was screaming more frequently than ever. He was also forcing Colin to lance his boils twice a day. Colin had also apparently poisoned three hundred million people with his canned bums which had put a dampener on Christmas.

Colin can also scat sing.
The Scotts and Cynthias Getting Married Sketch

The Scotts and Cynthias Getting Married sketch from Episode 48 features two men named Scott revealing that they have told their respective partners (named Cynthia) that they do not wish to marry until possums and foxes can marry, bins and dogs can marry, XBox and Playstation 4 can cross play with each other, that a man, woman and dog can solidify their friendship on the moon in front of an igloo and that you can run Windows on your Mac.  The sketch fades out as Scott tells Scott that Windows can indeed run on a Mac via Bootcamp, where one partitions one's hard drive.
