### Season 1

When he arrived at their house, however, he was knocked unconscious by Banjo and once he came to he was forced by the duo to partake in a day of "best friend activities".

He lives in a constant state of misery and self-pity, most of which self inflicted, though he chooses to blame others for the negativity in his life. Even though he mostly shows animosity for Fondue and Banjo, he does wind up helping them with their problems as well, showing he does care for them at least on some level.

## Concept and Creation

The idea for the character of Kush Diabetes was created after Cash Diab, Connor Laulo, and Zak Campbell burned a third party nes/snes hybrid console in Laulo's backyard and thought of a demon that could be summoned from the burnt remains of the console by Fondue and Banjo and would force them to play video games for a let's play channel. Once the let's play element was removed from the series, Kush fell into essentially his current iteration. The idea for the name came from the nickname Campbell and Laulo gave to Diab, Kush. The last name was thought up by Diab because Diabetes sounded like a demonic name when pronounced a certain way.
