* He along with the other Minions, Gru, and some of his friends, assisted at Wild Knuckles’ funeral to mourn his death and honor his legacy, and were relieved after discovering that Wild Knuckles was alive.

### Why He Doesn’t Stand Out?

* Although he is one of the more admirable Minions, he still fails the standards to Kevin as everything he does is just supporting him.
* Despite arguably being the most innocent Minion, he is On & Off as he assisted Gru and his fellow Minions in doing villainous stuff, showing that he's still not innocent enough. He even bribed Dr. Nefario to become Gru's right-hand, preventing him from reforming. Although it's debatable if he left Gru, there is still not enough evidence that he fully reformed out of his villainy.
* He is **WAY** too perverted to be Near Pure Good. Here is every perverted action he did below:
	+ Whenever Stuart or Kevin are doing perverted stuff, he either joins in with them or simply just stands there and refuses to correct them.
	+ When Stuart was trying to lick and kiss Kevin because he thought he was a banana, Bob tagged along with the act and put his mouth on Kevin's head.
	+ In the scene where Stuart was knocked out by the Blind Guard, Bob was shown with a questionable face looking up his rear.
	+ On the way to give an apology for Scarlet, he was shown pulling down Stuart's overalls.
	+ Later, once Kevin saved his life and supposedly stopped Scarlet, Kevin kissed him full on the lips, but Bob had no problem with asking for another kiss.
	+ Along with Kevin and Stuart, they made questionable faces after Gru's mother scolded them in an attempt to mimic her.
	+ In a commercial, after he spilled a smoothie another Minion, he licked it off of his head. Soon afterwards, he took his overalls off along with everybody else.
* Just like the other Minions, he is mischievous since he caused a lot of property destruction in the Minions rehearsal, played a song on his phone and manipulated everybody to dance along with him, used a Fart gun on Mel to make him unconscious and grabbed the notes in his hand, and ruining Santa's place during Christmas. However his mischief and bumbling nature doesn’t actually hurt anyone and he has a young and naive personality compared to the average Minion, so this is a minor prevention.
* In one episode of Saturday Morning Minions, he came off as very incompetent and lazy as he tried to get a new teddy bear and got "stuck" in the prize machine at a carnival, but its later revealed he can get out freely when Stuart was capable of getting in.

## Trivia

* He used to be considered Near Pure Good before it was brought up that he did not reform from all of his villainy and he had several moments of being perverted, in addition to failing the standards.
* Although he is a Heroic Benchmark right now, there is a chance this may change in the upcoming *Despicable Me 4* depending on what role he'll play.
