Cordless

**Cordless** (French: Gunther Slapète) is a recurring character in *The Crumpets* (seasons one and two) and one of the main characters in *Teen Crumpets* (seasons three and four). He is voiced by Billy Bob Thompson in English (seasons one and two) and Olivier Podesta in French.

Cordless is the teenage adopted son of the wealthy Uncle Hurry and Aunt Harried and the cousin of the Crumpet children. He is an obese nerd who loves technology and video games. In seasons one and two, he has a romantic obsession with Ms. McBrisk.

## Biography

Cordless is a naive teenage boy in the custody of Hurry and Harried. He is extremely obese and nerdy. These traits led to his adoptive parents' lack of fascination of him, and in return scorning him or even reconsidering their adoption in one episode.

He is technologically savvy and specialized. Most visibly, he loves and plays video games, making references to *Space Invaders* (including a sprite on his shirt) and *Pac-Man*. He can repair Hurry's helicopter. He introduced Pfff to the *Maxi Monsters Wars* video game. He also invents gadgets and writes computer programs.

Cordless likes to order and consume fast food hamburgers. He ordered plentiful burgers to share with his cousins. He also ordered too many of them for himself and Li'l One in one episode.

In the first two seasons, his relationship with cousin Caprice was shown to be bitter at times. When Cordless tests his parents' radioactive face cream in the Crumpets' house, Caprice defends him from her harassing family, however she puts him inside a refrigerator in a bid to cure him from radioactivity. Later, it's shown that she had bullied him according to flashbacks in "Disassister", and she pushes him out a window in "The Divorce". In *Teen Crumpets*, it's a more neutral relationship.

### Lust for Ms. McBrisk

While sunbathing with the Crumpets, Cordless ordered fast food for himself and the family. Caprice threw a boxed hamburger to the McBrisks' yard for Cassandra, hitting Ms. McBrisk's face by accident. When McBrisk walked to the Crumpets' yard as she sought payback, Cordless instantly became attracted to her and dreamed that he would be her "gorgeous irresistible bare-chested muscular playboy." He received her blame for the mess, yet remained drawn to her. He entered the house with Cassandra's permission so he could apologize to McBrisk and deliver her a set of bikinis. McBrisk, upon seeing Cordless, instantly rejected and kicked him out and the bikinis. Not giving up on her, he noticed her internet usage and hoped that the internet will be the avenue for their next encounter.

*Teen Crumpets* doesn't include any of Cordless' romantic attachment to McBrisk.

### Teen Crumpets

Cordless is a recurring protagonist for the *Teen Crumpets* episodes (seasons 3 and 4). He became the primary genius and inventor in the cast due to Ma appearing less frequently. His bedroom appeared for the first time in season three.

He doesn't make appearances as often as Pfff, Marylin, Caprice and Cassandra, and he commonly appears with Larry. The two boys are more open to the girls' activities than Pfff and Marylin, such as joining a theatrical play for Pa's potato festival. It should be noted that Hurry and Harried barely appear in the *Teen Crumpets* episodes.
