Bob

Bob, c. 2023

Bob is a main character in Lego Root Beer Man.

He is Root Beer Man's (Hugh's) only living relative, being his cousin, but while he is closely related to Root Beer Man, his personality is far more stern and mature despite being only four years older than him. He is also skilled in lockpicking, being able to break into even some of the most complex of defenses such as Big Cheese's basement.

Bob is often the voice of reason within Hugh's allies, to the point where he can sometimes come off as too literal and lacking any sense of comedic ability, unlike his cousin. Throughout the series, he has changed slightly in the way that he becomes more involved with the physical processes Hugh's adventures, such as his battle with Big Cheese, which shows his growth from a stern and no-nonsense coward in Season 1 to more of a risk-taker in Season 3.

## Overview

Bob is shown to be the most mature and focused member of Hugh's group, likely due to the fact he is also the oldest. Despite this, he seems to be the least calm under threat or pressure, which may be responsible for his cowardly attitude in Season 1. However, this area of Bob develops throughout the next two seasons to the point where he confronts Big Cheese alone. Due to his occupation requiring a more sedentary lifestyle, Bob is shown to be quite out of shape, at least in the form of cardiovascular stamina, where he fails to run from a middle-aged man during Season 1, Episode 6.

In Season 1, Bob is presented as quite a boring person. He notes that the reason for his divorce was because of a combination of this and his addiction to Fortnite and League of Legends. Despite this boring nature, the members of Hugh's group (besides maybe Hugh himself) show respect to him and enjoy being around him due to his knowledge, technical capabilities, and maturity. Bob, Dollar Spendah, and Gianna all leave the team briefly, however, at the end of the season due to Hugh's actions and his poor treatment of them.

In Season 2, Bob gains some respect from Hugh due to his actions when tracking down the Palm Tree Playas, where he can easily locate surviving members for interrogation. Bob does not appear physically in many episodes though, due to being preoccupied with work and "finding himself" (doing drugs).

In Season 3, Bob adopts more of a brutal outlook on his enemies and gains some self-confidence. This results in him single-handedly taking on Big Cheese, who notes this himself during their fight before gaining the upper hand and beating Bob within an inch of his life. Bob is saved by Hugh, greatly improving their relationship, and spends the rest of the season in a hospital bed recovering from his injuries before checking himself out in the Season 3 finale.

## Relationships

### Hugh

Bob and Hugh are cousins but don't begin to like each other until Season 3, due to their opposing personalities and different maturity levels. Their relationship improves exponentially as Hugh matures more, and later again when Hugh saves Bob's life. Despite their differences, Bob is shown to care for Hugh through his concern for his wellbeing, especially in Season 3, Episode 6.

### Dollar Spendah

Bob is shown to have some respect for Dollar Spendah, but the two aren't very close due to Dollar Spendah's personality being a lot like that of Hugh's, at least until Season 3. Dollar Spendah often offers Bob perfect financial advice, which he always declines due to his distrust towards Spendah, although this trust is likely improved by Dollar Spendah's willingness to drive Bob to the hospital after his fight with Big Cheese.

### Gianna

As Bob's friend from high school, Gianna is Bob's closest friend amongst the group. Despite this, he constantly makes their relationship awkward through casual, yet cheesy, remarks that are intended to gain her romantic favor. However, Gianna goes to great lengths to make sure Bob makes it to the hospital safely after his fight with Big Cheese and checks up on him regularly, showing she still cares for him despite his awkward nature and their clashing views on the direction of their friendship.
