Pickle

**Pickle Rickerson** is one of the protagonists of *Pickle and Peanut*. He is voiced by Jon Heder.

## Biogrophy

### Early Life

He and Peanut have been friends since they were babies. They sometimes hang out with each other along with Peanut's younger brother, Don.

## Appearance

Pickle is taller than Peanut. Pickle wears a belt that covers his belly button (so that nobody can see it, as revealed in "Swim Lessons"). 25 years in the future, at the 25-year park reunion, Pickle (now 48-54) is shown with a brown beard and thick black glasses, and he is wearing a red hoodie over a light grey shirt and a purple beanie.

## Skills/Habits/Traits

Pickle has shown a variety of abilities/habits throughout the series:

* **Rock, Paper, Scissors Master** - Pickle is extremely adept at this game. Ever since the pilot episode, he has always beaten Peanut (except in "A Bunch of Baby Ducks" and "The Best VHS in the World" where he lost to Peanut).
* **Light Sleeper** - In many episodes, Pickle is shown to be a light sleeper. In the episode, "Ello Gov'nor", he saw the entire movie without falling asleep. Peanut was deep asleep while Pickle was awoken at night in "Really Real Wrestling".
* **Vocalist** - In "This Is My Jam" and "Video Game Wizards", Pickle can sing clearly and appropriately. However, in "Karaoke Video", he sings off-tune with Peanut, probably because they were both drunk and didn't care what their voices sounded like.
* **Hamboning** - Pickle says that hamboning will save a person's life someday, as it does in "The Power". It seems to work for him. In fact, in the episode "Exit 9B", Pickle yells "Hamboning!" several times to get Benson to snap out of his trance, thus saving both his life and Peanut's from the excavator that Benson was about to crush them with.
* **Party Animal** - Seeing how both he and Peanut really enjoy partying, Pickle likes to party the most as seen in "Party Pete", "Chain Wallet" and other episodes.
* **Skilled Rapper** - Alongside Peanut, he is shown to be a very good at rapping in most episodes, examples being "Greg", "Party Pete", "Rap It Up", "Laundry Woes", and "Saving Time". They also even tried to teach Pops how to rap to go against the CrewCrew to prepare him for the rap battle.
* **Sense of Humor** - In most episodes, Pickle is often known to have a really good sense of humor and displays it a lot in episodes such as "It's Time" or "Skips in the Saddle".
* **Smooth Talker** - Pickle seems to have to ability swoon ladies while using very good pickups. This was mostly shown in "Skips in the Saddle".
* **Skilled Liar** - Peanut proves to be a better liar than him many times, but he is still a good liar.
* **Stealing** - As shown in a few episodes, he steals things, such as The Power.
* **Bank Shots -**As shown in "Bank Shot," Pickle is extremely good at basketball bank shots, to the extent that even the God of Basketball recognized him as pulling off the greatest bank shot ever. This skill is quite ironic as shown in a previous episode he was really bad at basketball.
* **Stuntman -**Pickle expressed a desire to become a stuntman in "Caveman" and later received his stuntman license along with Muscle Man in "The Heart of a Stuntman."
* **Doughnut Master** - Seen in "Carter and Briggs", wherein Pickle along with Peanut practice the art of "doughnut driving", and eventually master it thanks to Muscle Man's tutelage, making them win the contest in the episode.
* **Imaginative**- Pickle appears to have a wild imagination, the first obvious hint was possibly in the second season's "Appreciation Day" episode. The most recent one was in season five's "Video 101". He shows a great deal of enthusiasm when it comes to his visual ideas. However, just like Peanut's, his own imagination seems to know no boundaries, which evidently results in artistic exaggerations/failures.
* **Video Game Trivia** - Despite his weak skills at many video games, Pickle knows a great deal about them, and was proclaimed an "Expert" on video games after correctly answering 10 questions about them in "Expert or Liar."
* **Mover** - Pickle successfully completed a week as a mover in "Lift With Your Back," despite being forced to adhere to a body-destroying regime that required him to lift heavy boxes with his back. Though he was called the worst worker ever by the company's owner, he did successfully earn a paycheck for his efforts.
* **Utility Whipping** - Despite mostly destroying objects with a utility whip in "Eileen Flat Screen," Pickle did successfully use the whip to grab Eileen's TV when it was thrown off an overpass.
* **Geology** - Pickle has an exceptional knowledge of rocks being able to light up an entire cave by finding Quartz and other rocks he found in the dark.
* **Novice Fighter** - Pickle is shown to be able to fight in some episodes when enraged.

### Weaknesses/Bad Habits

* **Unintelligent** - As seen in "More Smarter," it is shown that he isn't very intelligent due to his inability to answer a simple math problem, saying 'more smarter' instead of 'more smart', and not knowing the difference between a rectangle and a square.
* **Careless** - As shown in "A Bunch of Baby Ducks," he can't even feed himself. Even Peanut said "Dude, you can't even feed yourself."
* **Claustrophobia** - Pickle shows symptoms of claustrophobia in the episode "Stuck in an Elevator". He also admits it in "Snow Tubing", though he doesn't say the correct word.
* **Unhealthy Diet** - Pickle enjoys eating junk food and the episode "Pickle's Body" suggests he is addicted to it. Pickle is fond of donuts, potato chips, ice cream, pizza, soda, pies, cheeseburgers, chocolate cake, meatball subs, corn dogs, hot dogs, and bacon. However Rigby does have moments of eating healthy and self-control like in "It's Time" where he is shown ordering and eating a salad, most likely since he's afraid of losing his body all over again.
* **Lack of Strength** - Pickle is a very bad at arm wrestling and Punchies. Even Pops can beat him at Punchies. Once he even tried to arm wrestle with Skips (while secretly cheating), and Skips accidentally killed him. Despite this, Pickle has shown signs of getting stronger such as in "The Night Owl", when Pickle and Peanut get in a fight with Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost, he seems to handle himself. And in "1000th Chopper Flight Party" when he punched Peanut and he actually expressed pain from it. He has also carried people who are heavier than him, like Muscle Man and Peanut. In "The Best VHS in the World", he also showed signs of strength by slapping Peanut in the face, kicking in the groin, etc. Then again, this could have been due to the events of Muscle Man's training in "Muscle Mentor". Also in "Do Me a Solid" and "Karaoke Video", he can break a VHS tape with his knee easily.
* **Bad Video Gamer** - Pickle has only ever won at video gaming in a few episodes. This was first seen in "It's Time" when Pickle beat Peanut probably because Peanut was too frustrated to play video games. This happens again in "Bet to Be Blonde" when the loser of a video game had to face having blond hair for a week. Pickle cheated by unplugging Peanut's controller and covering his tracks with a sock. This has also led to a problem once in "Video Game Wizards" when Pickle keeps continuously pestering Peanut about entering him instead of Skips. In spite of these, he seems to have beaten Peanut in a game once in "Jinx" though it is most likely because of luck than skill. He was also the one to discover that The Hammer's weakness was furniture, in "Rage Against the TV".
* **Egg Allergy** - Pickle is extremely allergic to eggs, as seen in "Eggscellent," where Pickle consumed so many eggs that he actually went into a coma because of it. Though in other episodes, Pickle is shown eating eggs, and doesn't get in a coma. Although this may because he ate so many eggs in "Eggscellent," or these eggs came from a certain bird in particular. Or the eggs might have been infected and no one knew.
* **Fear** - Pickle gets frightened much more easily than Peanut, particularly during horror movies. In "Ello Gov'nor", it was mentioned that Pickle once had to be walked to the bathroom every night for a week, yet rented another horror movie in spite of this, incurring a string of hallucinations throughout the rest of the episode. In "Death Bear," Pickle was the only one who ***wasn't*** afraid of going inside Death Bear's real cage, but it was probably because he thought Death Bear was just a myth.
* **Laziness** - Pickle and Peanut both have a tendency of slacking off from work, thus causing Benson to yell at them to stop slacking off. This is seen in almost every episode, especially "Think Positive."
* **Poor Hygiene** - Pickle has been shown to not bathe regularly, as seen in "Limousine Lunchtime", because he said that he uses rain to clean himself. In "Diary", he says that he hates taking showers (and also that he once ate a donut out of the trash).
* **Gift Giving -** Pickle is known for giving terrible gifts. In "Birthday Gift" it shows that whenever he gets a birthday gift he usually just get them for himself.
* **Bad Luck** - Throughout many episodes Pickle has demonstrated that he has the worst luck out of all the park workers. Because of this he usually gets hurt and put into stressful/near-death situations more often than his coworkers.
