He suffers from misfortune, loves eating garbage, and peace and solitude and lives with his wife and son. His catch phrase is "You idiot" and what is your problem you sick little monkey variations thereof, harkening back a memorable quote by Lorre as Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon: "You... you imbecile. You bloated idiot. You stupid fat-head you." Mr. Idiot wears a grey shirt with a red tie, and blue pants with brown shoes.

 * Mrs. Idiot (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the nameless, dim-witted wife of Mr. Idiot with a fearsome temper and a brain about the size of a peanut, like her husband, Mr. Idiot.
