Bob Brunefield is one of the main characters of the *FMILY dodechedrobn (The Sitcom)* Sitcom. He lives in the dodechedrobn household, being the newest resident, entering the council house during the first episode.

#### **Description**

##### Physical Appearance

Bob is short and skinny, described by the other residents of the house as a *'twig'*. In regard to this, Bob has a very high metabolism, even their early adult life (however, the height is a genetic thing). He has messy, curly, thick brown hair that is never cut during the show, claiming that they *"do not trust anyone in this house. Not one bit. And I'm too skint to go to a hairdresser... I mean... have you seen how much they charge for a regular cut? Too bloody much... bet they'd cut it too short anyway" -FMILY dodechedrobn (the sitcom) season 1 episode 12: "Cornelius gets shot."* In Season 1, his hair is just above shoulder length, and by Season 5, Episode 19, their hair is 5 and a half inches longer, and just as unkempt. However, in Season 5, Episode 20, *"Bob's Day Out"*, *Bob* finds a pair on scissors on the streets of South London, and cuts his own hair to just below the ears. He has pale skin, due to the fact he barely goes outside, spending most of their time playing video games or working at his job. Bob also has freckles that you can only see when you focus on their face, and a couple areas of acne. Additionally, his hands are smooth, also due to the gaming and working, where he doesn't have to use his hands so much, apart from a lot of typing and holding a controller or mouse. *Bob* wears large, rectangular glasses, which are so heavy they leave marks on his nose. For this reason, we barely see *Bob* without their glasses on, in an attempt to hide the red marks, in fear of being teased for them. Behind that, he has grey/blue eyes that are mistaken as being brown by the others.

They wear baggy clothes, which are usually dark in colour, in an attempt to look less frail. The t-shirts and jumpers he wears usually have graphics of *Bob's* favourite media on them, such as *Star Wars*, or *The Legend Of Zelda*. *Bob* owns one pair of trainers, claiming that they aren't falling apart, despite the fact they indeed are. His father, *Dave Brunefield*, even bought *Bob* a new pair of the exact same trainers before *Bob* moved away, which are kept in their shoebox in *Bob's* room.

##### Personality

*Bob* is shy and awkward. Additionally, he is extremely non-confrontational, which is imminent throughout the show and even causes some conflicts. Despite that, *Bob* loves to talk about their interests, which mainly revolves around video games, and is able to talk about them for hours on end, usually boring the other housemates. For this reason, he does not ever do it unless prompted, and even then, feels guilty for rambling on. *Bob* is one of those people who gets more confident the more you talk to them. This is why he becomes more open to the other housemates as the show goes on, which includes joining in on their jokes and teases. To people he does not know, they are very quiet, the only exception being at their job, where he must be friendly and confrontational around the customers.

Throughout the show, it is implied, -and in Season 5- explicitly shown that Bob has a low self esteem. This relates to all of the *Bob* centred episodes in Season 5, such as in Season 5, Episode 4 *"Bob's Birthday"*, where the focus is on everybody forgetting *Bob's* birthday, making them feel worthless. This is shown much more lightly throughout the earlier seasons.

##### Relationships

*Bob* has positive relationships with almost all the characters in the show, family and friends alike.

*Gary Mathews* - Being more than 10 years older than *Bob*, he sees him as a slight parental figure during some points of the show. Other than that, *Bob* occasionally sits and ponders about *Gary*'s history, and likes to make up odd stories about what *Gary* could've lived through while in America. However, in the earlier seasons, *Gary* would keep asking *Bob* if they had a crush on him (as *Bob* is gay and is attracted to men), which *Bob* never appreciated. *Gary* stops this at the beginning of season 3. In Season 3 Episode 22 *"Jealousy and Bad Guesses"*, *Gary* appears on *Bob's* favourite trivia show, and fumbles all the money on the final question, This day put a large strain on their relationship. An episode later (*"To Kill a Pigeon"*), *Gary* tries to amend their relationship by taking *Bob* out hunting for pigeons in a local woods. While *Bob* hated the experience and had a breakdown over the death of a pigeon that was shot, they still understood *Gary*'s good intentions.

*Cornelius Capstake* - Is unsure if they are the only one who sees how snobby *Cornelius* really is. He believes this as no one ever brings up *Cornelius*' behaviour. *Bob* wishes that one day he could say to *Cornelius* to stop acting like he has lots of money, when he does not. Throughout the show, *Bob* is under the impression that *Cornelius* had made up the story about getting his father's inheritance when he turns 30. Despite this, *Bob* respects *Cornelius'* dedication to stealing old people's canes, although understanding how unethical and cruel that is. If anything, they're surprised, and almost have admiration, on how *Cornelius* is able to get away with it time and time again.

*Maverick Mailman-Molly* - *Bob* finds *Maverick* funny yet odd. The first time *Bob* met *Maverick*, they thought Maverick was a wizard appearing through a smoke cloud, only to realise it was in fact a cloud of smoke from the joint *Maverick* was currently smoking. He is unsure of *Mavericks* constant use of drugs and alcohol, but does not ever talk him out of using them. However, *Bob* is sometimes frustrated with *Maverick* for leaving edibles and other drugs around the house, due to multiple instances of Bob mistaking them for proper food, such as in Season 1, Episode 20, *"Texas",* where Bob mistakes a pot brownie for a regular brownie. Bob does not mind being high, and is usually able to tolerate is, but finds it annoying -and more of an inconvenience- than anything dire. They even say "Dude, Living in a house with *Maverick* is like inhaling more weed than it is oxygen." *-FMILY dodechedrobn (the sitcom) season 4 episode 23: "High on Life" .* *Bob* and *Maverick* have a lot of inside jokes together, and become very close friends as the show progresses. Sometimes *Bob* still thinks that *Maverick* *is* actually a wizard.

#### **First Appearance**

*Bob*'s first appearance is in the pilot episode of the show. In this episode, he decides to finally leave his parent's home in South London to explore the world for himself. After a quick montage that displays weeks of Bob being unable to find any job, he is forced to move into a council house, where *Gary, Maverick*, *Cornelius,* and *Leonard* are already living. Here, he is greeted at the door by *Maverick*, who appears out of a cloud of his own smoke. Entering the house, they are either starred at or completely ignored by the other residents. *Bob* goes up the stairs and puts all of his belongings in the emptiest room they can find, and tries to think positively about the future.
