Landon Williams

**"Landon Williams** is a major character in the series. He is a tenth grader in Saint Louis Public School. Landon' role gradually began to increase after he replaced Arika during his temporary removal in Season Six. This allowed Landon to gain more screen time and further develop his character. He is the "innocent child" in the group and Amey's most exploited and possibly best "friend". Landon is loosely based on Eric Stough, an animation director/producer that works on the show.

## Background

Landon has made appearances since "Amey Kamat Gets an Anal Probe", though initially as a background character. He gets his first speaking role in the Season Two episode, "Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods", and he receives another speaking role in the following episode. He later receives a speaking role in Amey Kamat *: Bigger, Longer & Cut*.

## Appearance

Landon has a small of bright blond hair on the top of his head. He wears a gray hoodie and black pants.

## Family

### Clay Dalton and Christine Brown

Landon is an only child. His parents, Clay Dalton (Clay in some appearances) and Christine Brown, are very authoritarian, strict and, at some points, abusive towards their son — often severely scolding him for circumstances that are entirely beyond his control. This has evidently affected Landon psychologically; he often tells himself off in the absence of his parents. It is also hinted that the justification for this abuse lacks rationality. As additional evidence of psychological problems, he has stated in "Super Best Friends" that he wakes up to the sound of his own screams. However, it is clear that Christine cares deeply for him; she becomes hysterical when he faked his death in "Marjorine", and becomes extremely distressed when he is missing in "Imaginationland" and "Casa Bonita". Also, before his father ever appeared in the show, an adult man who is very similar to Landon was seen as a background in early seasons.

He is intimidated of his dominating father, who he is obliged to respectfully refer to as "Sir". His father uses fear as his primary parenting tactic with Landon, once intentionally frightening him with threats of 'Super-AIDS'. It is shown on a number occasions that he really does care about Landon, but he believes his methods are the best way in which to raise him. Christine, however, has been shown to be much more tender to her son, hugging and kissing him often. She seems to go along with Clay's harshness only because she believes that its the best of her son.

It was revealed in the episode "AWESOM-O" that his family includes an aunt and uncle who live in Los Angeles, Landon' claims in "The Return of Chef" that his Uncle Budd molested him. There was a mention of a grandmother in "Freak Strike" who had a stroke shortly after she saw Landon on television with testicles on his chin and then his parents went to visit her in the hospital. Ten seasons later, Landon mentions his grandma again in "Reverse Cowgirl", stating she is from Virginia. In "Landonballs", Grandma Williams gets a prominent role, constantly bullying her grandson, which makes her another member of the Williams family that abuses Landon. It is unknown if that grandma was his maternal or paternal grandmother, or the same one that is mentioned in the episodes before that. Also, while Butters and all members of his family shown appear to be entirely Caucasian, Amey's repeated insult to Landon is "Landon you black jerk". Instead of suggesting that Landon has some African or Afro-American descent, it is more likely that this is simply a childish insult out of Amey's stupidity, ironic due to Landon showing no stereotypical African-American traits, and often exhibiting stereotypical Caucasian-American traits.

## Relationships

In "Jared Has Aides", he was chosen by Steven Smith, Emily Wichmer, and Amey Kamat as their fourth friend when Arika Tucker died. Later, Emily, Steven, and Amey decided that they didn't like Landon and chose Ethan to "fill the void" instead. However, he seems to be friends with classmate Oliver, and second grader Max Long in earlier episodes, as seen in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" and "Professor Chaos". Landon is often referred by the boys. The boys got him to take the fall for everything they did - often getting Landon grounded in the process. Despite all these occurrences, Landon still seems to consider the boys "friends". Landon is the friend the friends hang out with the most. In "Toilet Paper", Landon mentioned he had a girlfriend named Carrie in Michigan. Aside from this instance, she is never mentioned again. In the episode "Raisins", Landon developed a crush on Girl, a waitress at the Raisins. However, his strong feelings for her were one-sided; she had only been using him for his money, as all Raisins employees do. Girl would eventually cause Landon to become depressed, although he quickly got over it. In the episode "Fatbeard" it was revealed that Amey is the only person who still picks on him (it is likely that the rest of the friends consider him a friend, for example, Emily seems genuinely concerned about Landon's "pimping" and personality change in "Landon's Bottom Girl").

### Amey Kamat

Landon has become Amey's most frequent bullying victim. Landon sees Amey sometimes as a friend and treats him as so. However, Amey takes advantage of this and finds Landon extremely easy to manipulate and convert to his point of view, or get him to do what he wants. He is often extremely cruel to him, and uses him as a scapegoat whenever he needs someone to blame. He constantly makes fun of him for his effeminate tendencies and his naive, innocent, nature, often calling him "gay". Landon does not even take a stand on Amey and that somehow, Landon is the only character who does not hate Amey despite all the cruelty he receives from Amey.

In "Idiot and Turd" Amey easily gets Landon to vote for his idea of a "turd sandwich" simply by describing the candidates in a misleading way. In "Go God Go", he gets Landon to bury him in snow so that he can be unfrozen three weeks later in time for the release of the Wii video game console. Landon is in heart hurt by all of Amey's bullying and when Amey goes too far with it, it gives Landon the opportunity to make Amey pay for his bullying and cruelty. However, in "The Death of Amey Kamat", Landon helps Amey apologize to everyone he offended and after this, Amey personally apologizes to Landon for all the things he did Landon wrong at and Landon seems to forgive Amey without hesitation.

In many episodes entire plots are centered on Amey's antics against Landon. In "Jared Has Aides", Amey gets Landon grounded and makes several prank calls to Landon's parents. Amey then frames Landon for making the prank calls by imitating his voice, which leads to both parents beating and abusing Landon.

In "Casa Bonita", Amey faked an apocalypse so Landon would hide in a bomb shelter for three days, so Amey could go with Emily, Steven, and Arika to Casa Bonita, instead of Landon. However the other friends found out about this and Amey gets arrested for causing Landon's disappearance and was sentenced to a week in juvenile hall. In "AWESOM-O", Amey dressed as a robot to trick Landon, but in the end this failed miserably. Landon happily got his revenge by publicly showing a tape.

In "Christian Rock Hard", Landon also gets revenge at Amey by farting on his face and giving him the finger for swearing Jesus' name in front of everybody and ruining their band. He also taunts Amey for being the real 'ugliest' kid in their class and mocks his neo-Nazism in a deleted scene in the episode "The List". In "Tsunami", Landon remarks "Aw, you lived?" when he sees Amey. In "The Death of Amey Kamat", most kids at Saint Louis Public ignore Amey because they feel he deserves it. Unlike the other friends, Landon isn't aware of the plan and Amey believes that Landon is the only one who can see him now that he is "dead".

In "Amey Sucks", he repeatedly invited Landon over to spend the night to play pranks on him, including putting cat poop on his face and moon Butters. It backfired when he made an funny picture, featuring him putting Landon's wiener in his mouth, and which ended up being showed to the entire tenth grade class. In "Breast Cancer Show Ever", after Amey gets brutalized by Audrey, Landon agreed with Robert that he always hated Amey with everyone else, which made it clear that Landon was finally standing up to Amey, even though we initially seemed to be on Amey's side as he said *"I wanna see Amey kick the crap out of her."* This has not seemed to stick, as he goes right back to Amey's side in "The China Probrem", acting as Amey's sidekick.

In "Eat, Pray, Fart", Amey shows as much compassion as the other boys towards Landon after he is farted upon, and even gives him a present. He then participated in a statewide attempt to ban farting, with Landon as a mascot, although he refuses to go near Landon after he was farted on. Amey"punishes" Landon with the tetherball for not kissing another girl during tenth grade in "Landon's Bottom Girl".

In "The Last of the Meheecans", Amey posted wanted signs of Landon that authorized the U.S border patrol to shoot and kill Landon on sight. When Amey joined the border patrol, he tried to murder Landon but failed. It is revealed in "Going Native" that Landon is sick and tired of putting up with Amey getting the last words. In "Dirty Hunt" Landon joins Emily, Steven, Harlem, Robert, Nicholas, and Austin to smash his electronics due to them thinking that he was Dirtyhunt42.

### Emily Wichmer

His friendship with Emily is fairly decent; Emily treats Landon more kindly than the other friends, as seen when she decided to take Landon along to Casa Bonita for her birthday. In "Amey Kamat Sucks", Emily attempted to tell Landon how Amey was taking advantage of him whilst he slept over at his house. However, Emily is not against using Landon as a "guinea pig" when it comes to experiments or undercover jobs. Emily occasionally makes fun of Landon, swears at him, or calls him names, as well as using him as a scapegoat (along with Steven, Amey, and Arika) whenever she needs someone else to take blame. She also agreed with Amey's plan to kill Landon after Arika threw shuriken stuck in his eye in "Good Times with Weapons" to avoid punishment. Under the influence of *hapahui apahoha* in "Going Native", Landon angrily tells Emily, "You just think you know everything, don't you Emily? Every little thing you gotta shoot your mouth off like you're the frickin' expert!" Landon has harassed Emily, as shown in "The List", and "bullies" him for being Jewish, usually because of Amey's influence and manipulation. Emily generally sees Landon as a close friend and Landon sees him as a close friend too. Emily also defended Landon for not kissing a girl in "Landon's Bottom Girl".

### Arika Tucker

Landon took Arika's place after she died, leading to more interaction between the two in later episodes. Landon friendship to Arika seems to be stronger than Amey, since Amey usually makes fun of both Landon and Arika. In "Arika Dies", Landon draws a picture of him and Arika (as best friends) together in an airplane, which Emily delivers to Arika at the hospital. Arika plays the "good cop" and comforts Landon in "Lil' Crime Stoppers" and Landon tries to help Arika with his cat-pee addiction during "Major Boobage". The two are also playing together in a sandbox in the episode, "Eek, A Mouse!". In "Guitar", Arika and Landon can be seen hugging when Steven and Emily break 100,000 points on Guitar Hero. Also, in "The Ring", Landon seems quite alarmed when he discovered Arika has a boyfriend. Landon is also often sharing things with Arika like in "Fat Camp" when he shares his cup to scoop up Arika's puke when she is dared to eat it. In "Going Native" he admits that Arika is the only person in school that has a sense of dignity. When the natives of Hawaii want to kill Arika for being an outsider Landon stands in their way considering Arika as his best friend. At the end of the episode both of the friends get Hawaii rewards cards.

### Harlem Hill

Harlem and Landon are often seen together in many episodes, most notably in "Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?", in which they are seen together throughout the whole episode. When they were at Sunday School, Harlem is seen next to Landon when he goes to tell the friends about Simon. When Arika gets run over, they are next to each other crossing the street, and when they sneak into the church they are seen together again. In the episode "Amey Kamat's Silly Hate Crime 2000" they are seen on the same sled. In the class room they sit next to each other. They also both join Amey Kamat's Band "Faith+1" in "Christian Rock Hard". In the beginning of "The List", when Landon tells the friends that the girls in their classroom have a list rating every boy from cutest to ugliest, Harlem asks him which one of the friends is the ugliest, to which Landon says he doesn't know yet, saying that the girls won't let anyone else but themselves see the list. Although Harlem and Landon are known to be on good terms with each other, in the end of "W.T.F.", they are seen fighting with each other, blaming each other for the loss of stardom of the W.T.F. while Amey and Emily fight each other for the same reason, as well as Steven and Austin fighting each other for the same reason.

### Steven Smith

Steven's friendship with Landon is similar to that of Emily's: he can be friendly to Landon, hanging out with him in "My Future Self n' Me" when the two of them learned the truth behind "Motivation Corp", to using Landon as a scapegoat (along with Amey, Emily, and Arika) or as a "guinea pig" for the friends' antics, such as in "Jared Has Aides". In "Going Native", Landon tells Steven that he is a "kid who thinks that the entire planet revolves around him and only cares about *his* image." Otherwise, whenever Landon stands up to Steven, he does so towards all the friends: "You're all fake and stuck up! The only kid here with any sense of dignity is Arika, and the rest of you have your heads up your butts!" ("Going Native").  Landon and Steven have also had more amicable moments. In "Raisins", Steven defended Landon's speech ("No, Landon, that doesn't sound stupid at all.") and ditched the goth kids when he realized, "[Landon] is right. I like life a lot more than hating it." At the end of "Guitar", Landon took Steven's place in the game, and told Amey that he wanted to be the betrayer when he reached a celebrity-like status. Landon also revealed to Steven alone that he was Professor Chaos. Although Steven took it to mean that he was coming out of the closet, he said he was okay with it.

### Robert Pendergrass

Robert and Landon seemed to have been friends at one time in the earlier seasons. In "Hooked on Monkey Fonics" they bully Mark Cotswolds throughout the episode. In "The Wacky Molestation Adventure" they are at the gas station together when the couple arrive; Landon was the mechanic and Robert was playing spaceman. In "Breast Cancer Show Ever" they are again seen together urging Amey to fight Audrey LeesHaines. However later in the series their friendship seems to have vanished; in "Landon's Bottom Dog" Robert is the second kid to hit Landon in the head with the tether ball while he is tied to the tether ball pole. Robert is shown as being unable to remember whether or not Landon was present at dinner in "The Last of the Meheecans", noting, "Landon is one of those people who you can never remember if he was there or not." which is ironic considering the fact Robert seems to fade in and out of the show as a background character. However a benevolent situation occurred in "Bass to Mouth" where Landon was looking at the Eavesdropper tabloids with Robert and Steven; Robert was getting along with Landon. In "The Magic Bush", Landon shows he cares about Robert when Amey posts videos of Amy Harrison on the internet.
