## Biography

### Early Life

Peanut first became friends with Pickle after finding him funny in preschool.

During Peanut's schooling days, he went through a lot of embarrassing moments, such as falling from a high height on stage during a play, and getting a saxophone mouthpiece stuck in his throat. Thanks to his mom however, he managed to survive these situations.

## Skills/Habits

Peanut has shown a variety of abilities and habits—both good and bad—throughout the series.

* **Artist-**In "Camp", it was revealed that Peanut went to art school, but in "Fool Me Twice" it was revealed that Peanut dropped out. In "Bad Portrait" it was revealed he had bad portrait skills. In a flashback, he tried to draw a lady, and the resulting picture was so bad, that she ran away crying, ruining his confidence in art. Another time was when he was failing sculpture, and his friend Sad Sax Guy advised him to make a sculpture of his instructor's "human form". However, that too was a disaster. Despite this, as shown when he made a great portrait of Benson, he is actually a good artist.
* **Leadership** - Peanut has some notable leadership skills, as displayed in many episodes, such as "Exit 9B."
* **Video Game Master** - Peanut is an expert at video games. Anytime Pickle and Peanut play against each other, Peanut would win every time (except in "It's Time" because of Pickle's constant bragging about going out with Eileen, "Jinx," and "Bet to Be Blonde" when Pickle cheats and unplugs Peanut's controller). Peanut is always player one, except at the end of "Death Punchies".
* **Educated**  - Peanut is both figuratively and literally smarter than Pickle in nearly every possible way. He has mentioned to have acquired not only a high school diploma, which Pickle doesn't have (as mentioned in the episode "More Smarter"), but also a college education (although, in "Fool Me Twice", Pickle said that Peanut never graduated). However, he was outwitted by Pickle when the latter got him to drink "RigJuice".
* **Skilled Liar** - In "Grilled Cheese Deluxe", Peanut showed great aptitude for lying. He competed against Pickle to prove who was the better liar and ultimately emerged victorious. Near the end of the episode, he lied to Benson about what happened to his sandwich in which Benson believed over Pickle's truth.
* **Truthful** - Peanut is not only a skilled liar, but he is also very truthful. For example, in "The Power", Peanut instantly admitted what happened to Skips when Benson asked him.
* **Skilled at Staring -** Peanut has shown that he can go hours into a staring contest. He did so against Peeps in the episode of the same name and won, even though he couldn't blink after the contest and had to go to the hospital.
* **Enhanced Strength** - This greatly varies from episode to episode, though he is always seen to be much stronger than Pickle. This is notable when the two engage in a game of Punchies. However, while not on Skips' or Muscle Man's level, there are several instances where Peanut possesses well-above-average strength, as he has on these occasions bashed his way through locked doors ("Just Set Up the Chairs"). In fact, he is so strong that he can break a broom with one punch and easily rip a shirt as shown in "Mordecai and the Rigbys". However, his most recent and impressive feat of physical strength is shown when he bashed Death Bear across a room and through a wall in the episode of the same name.
* **Coffee Drinker** - Peanut is often seen with coffee, more so than Rigby. In "Free Cake", the episode starts with Peanut supposedly drinking from a half-full pot of coffee.
* **Speeches** - Peanut tends to persuade people when he gives talks and speeches. Examples are seen in "Greg" when Peanut persuades Pickle to confront; "Rage Against The TV", when Peanut tells Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost to help with beating the Hammer; and in "Muscle Woman", when he talks to Starla, unintentionally infatuating her. Another example would be when Peanut apologizes to CJ to calm her down in "Yes Dude Yes". Also, he gave a protest speech to Ellen being trapped in the Voice Messaging Control Center in "Butt Dial", begging her not to play the message that contained the song Peanut made up about how it would be like if they were together forever. However, it didn't work. He is also shown to give a great speech in "Exit 9B", which Garrett Bobby Ferguson Jr. claimed touching. In "Do or Diaper ", he explained to Ellen about the bet, and admitted that he likes her.
* **Kind-Hearted** - Peanut possesses social skills that an immature Pickle doesn't. Peanut has better relations with his friends and has never really shown many harsh feelings toward them. He always tries to settle disagreements. He also admitted a certain secret to save his life. The only major time he wasn't kind-hearted was in "It's Time" when he pushed Pickle off of a microwave, killing him, though it was out of anger, and he was immediately regretful of his actions.
* **Music Lover and Singer** - Peanut has shown on several occasions that he can sing very well. In "Karaoke Video", and "Butt Dial" he sings nice and clear, although he tends to be off-key. Also, he seemed to know about a band called Brain Explosion that Pickle didn't know about in "This Is My Jam". He also once listened to a song on repeat for five days in "Yes Dude Yes". He can also come up with song lyrics on the spot, as demonstrated when he and Pickle rap with each other, such as in "Party Pete" and especially "Silver Dude". Additionally, he can play the saxophone, since he was in a jazz band in high school.
* **Skilled Fighter** - Peanut is very good at fighting others, as seen in many episodes. Examples are Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost in "The Night Owl", Chad and Jeremy in "Replaced", Carrey O'Key and Carl in "Karaoke Video" and The "Family" "Restaurant" people in "Out of Commission ". He is also skilled in the powerful martial arts of Death Kwon Do and can perform many amazing techniques when wearing the proper attire.
* **Party Animal** - In "Party Pete", "Chain Wallet", and some other episodes, it shows that Peanut really likes to party.
* **Sanitation** - Even though Peanut is a party animal, he is good at cleaning up major parties. This is shown in "Replaced", "Butt Dial", "Party Pete", etc.
* **Snoring** - It is seen in "Ello Gov'nor" that he snores when he sleeps.
* **Ladies Man** - Despite the fact he has a crush on Ellen, he has earned attention of Starla from "Muscle Woman", CJ, and his 12 dates from "Yes Dude Yes" (though Pickle was the one who set him up for it), possibly Ladonna from "Access Denied". A woman from "Do or Diaper" gives him her phone number when Peanut was practicing his kissing.

* **Skilled Rapper**- Along with Pickle, he is shown on occasions such as "Greg", "Gramma Jail", "Rap It Up" and "Party Pete" rapping very well. They also tried to teach Pops how to rap in order to take on the CrewCrew to prepare him in their high school rap battle.
* **Skilled Dancer** - As seen in "TGI Tuesday", Peanut is a skilled dancer, known famous for his "robot".
* **Donut Master** - Seen in "Carter and Briggs", wherein Peanut along with Pickle practice the art of "donut driving", and eventually master it thanks to Muscle Man's tutelage. They also manage to win the contest in the episode.
* **Skilled Driving** - As shown many times in the show, Peanut is shown to be a very good driver, especially in the van. On many occasions, he is always shown to be the driver of the whole gang when in a chase scene. Also, he is able to make sharp turns, think fast, and be a match for many that are chasing him. The only person who could rival his skill is Thomas.
* **Skilled Dodgeball Player** - It is revealed in "Dodge This" he is quite an impressive dodgeball player, easily eliminating most of the Thunder Girlz until it was left to him and CJ. More information on this can be found on the episode page.
* **Imaginative** - Both Pickle and Peanut seem to have an active imagination. They tend to have a lot of creative ideas, but as shown in "Video 101", they, unfortunately, lack a sense of when those ideas become too many, or when they are just simply over the top.
* **Motorcycle Driving** - In "Play Date", despite having some trouble in the beginning, he quickly learned how to ride a motorcycle from CJ when they were being chased by a bunch of angry demonic parents.
* **Heimlich Manouver Expert** - Peanut is shown to be skilled in using this technique to save people such as Muscle Man from choking a few times before without fail.

### Weaknesses

* **Heavy Sleeper**  - Throughout the entire show, Peanut is shown to be the usual heavy sleeper, falling asleep very often. Pickle has gently shaken him to get him to wake up many times. (Examples: " Ello Gov'nor ", " This Is My Jam " and " Really Real Wrestling "). He also managed to sleep through being sent to Australia in " Australia ".
* **Slacker**  - Pickle and Peanut both have a tendency to slack off from work. Benson then yells at them to stop slacking off. This is seen in almost every episode.
* **Peanut-ing -**  Despite being a ladies man, he is very often seen being too nervous or scared to make the first move to express his true feelings. His reluctance to make the first move is notorious, that his name is often the term of chicken-ing out by his fellow friends, hence the term "Pulling a Peanut." For example, in " Meteor Moves " he was reluctant to make the move that he almost ends up being friendzoned, and in " I Like You Hi ", he accidentally texted the aforementioned phrase to CJ and tried to come up with a convoluted plan to tell her the text was an autocorrect of "I like Yugi, which he admits he did because he was nervous to admit his feelings.
* **Roller skating**- In "Yes Dude Yes", Peanut is shown to not be very good at roller skating, as his legs are shaking and he almost falls over when he and Ellen go roller skating. However, in a later episode ("Bald Spot"), he goes roller-skating with Pickle, Megan, and Ellen, and he roller skates just fine.
* **Poor Navigation**  - In " Survival Skills ", Peanut seems to have a poor sense of direction, getting himself and Pickle lost in the middle of the woods and only to end up in the same place where they started. He even mentioned that he forgot where the golf cart was located.
* **Generous to a Fault** - While he's not a complete pushover, Peanut finds it hard to say no at times. In " 1000th Chopper Flight Party ", he did not object to getting in the helicopter with Ellen because he did not want to hurt the Smith family's feelings, despite the fact that there would be a chance that CJ would notice (and unfortunately, she did).
* **Traitor** - as was shown in the episode "Trash Boat," he did not think twice about telling everyone that Pickle had changed his name to Trash Boat, making him the target of everyone's joking, an attitude that a true best friend would never have done. He also refused to give Pickle the money to change his name back just so he could continue to make fun of him (although Peanut does help Pickle change his name back after their lives are put in danger).
