Glep

**Glep** is one of the two deuteragonists of *Smiling Friends* alongside Alan. He is a small green Critter who is an employee at Smiling Friends Inc. Glep mostly speaks in a fast-paced gibberish language. Despite this, Glep can be understood by the majority of the cast. Others outside of this have not yet evolved to hear his vocal range. He also hates Ed Sheeran with a burning passion.

## Appearance

### Body

Glep is a small green coloured Critter who has very small arms and legs. He has eyes below his mouth. He bares no intestinal tract and instead has a miniature black hole that occupy the space where his organs would be.

### Clothing

Glep wears a purple wizard-style hat. In the special episode "The Smiling Friends Go to Brazil!", this hat is replaced by a similarly colored baseball cap, giving Glep more of a "tourist-y" look. In "Frowning Friends", he dons the rival company's security uniform. In "A Silly Halloween Special", his costume resembles Ronald Reagan (with his wife Marge Simpson dressed as Nancy Reagan).

## Personality

Glep is a lazy critter with a wide range of emotions. He is easily irritated as shown on multiple occasions, one example when Alan asks if took a paperclip in "Desmond's Big Day Out".

## Background

### Helping Desmond

In "Desmond's Big Day Out", Glep is seen sleeping on a beanbag chair in the main office. Later, he is shown still on the beanbag, now on his tablet watching a video. Whilst Alan is looking for a missing paper clip, he asks Glep if he has taken it, which causes Glep to become angry with him.

After Desmond finds a purpose in life with Desmond's Bliblie Control, Glep is seen cleaning the mess left over from the Bliblie infestation. When the creature smashes out of the TV in the office, Glep runs off scared.

### Replacing Mr. Frog

In "Mr. Frog", Glep auditions to replace Mr. Frog following his firing. As he walks in, Glep is initially ridiculed by Rex over his appearance, Glep retaliates by spitting on him which leads Rex to hire Glep and says to his producer that he had the 'the bad boy edge' the real Mr. Frog had. Glep dances cheerfully afterwards.

During the readthrough, Glep reads his script where in he adds the spitting at the end of his lines which becomes the central gag to the new show. Rex cautions Glep not to do that as the studio finds it toxic. At the rehearsal, Glep continues to spit after his lines which causes Rex to assault him. In response, Glep gets annoyed and his attitude changes.

At the taping of the new Mr. Frog Show, Glep becomes irritated and is slow in his lines. The new show is met with a negative response from the audience which comes to a shock for Rex and Glep is unsurprised by it. After Mr. Frog devours Rex, Glep's time with the show comes to an end as Mr. Frog's career is reinstated.

## Relationships

### Pim Pimling

Glep has not been seen interacting extensively with Pim in the show thus far, but seems quite amicable with each other.

### Charlie Dompler

Glep also has not been shown interacting extensively with Charlie, but is amicable with him as well. He is seen being annoyed by Charlie during "Frowning Friends", punchin him in the leg for not defending Smiling Friends. He is seen at Charlie's Funeral during "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back", mourning over his death.
