Grigby
Grigby is an American fictional entrepreneur, director, and YouTuber, and CEO of fictional company Grigby Inc. He is also the central protagonist of the Grigby Franchise. Grigby is portrayed as a purple monkey puppet and is characterized by his egotism, greed, charisma, entrepreneurial ambition, and frequent disregard for the consequences of his actions.
Character
Grigby is depicted as a highly ambitious businessman who frequently believes himself to be considerably more intelligent than the people around him. His schemes often begin with a seemingly reasonable idea before becoming increasingly elaborate and irresponsible.
Despite his selfishness and tendency to prioritize money and fame, Grigby is generally portrayed as charismatic and confident. He frequently attempts to justify his actions through business logic, even when his decisions are obviously counterproductive.
His closest recurring associate is Bucky Beaver, who often acts as the more reasonable counterpart to Grigby’s plans. Other recurring characters include Froge, Gugson, Shlock, Bob, William, and Judge Snailio.
Grigby’s background prior to the events of The Grigby Movie is largely unexplored. At the beginning of the film, he is living relatively modestly and becomes inspired to create a theme park after encountering land for sale in a forest.
He purchases the land from Clyde and establishes Grigbyland, with Bucky becoming a business partner. Grigby initially promotes the park as an affordable family attraction but later introduces increasingly expensive products and services in an attempt to make the company profitable.
Among Grigby’s ventures are the Purple Pass, GrigbyBurger, Grigby O’s, Grigby Energy Drink, and The Gugson Show.
His increasingly reckless business practices eventually result in legal trouble. Grigby is convicted of multiple offenses and sentenced to eight months in Shlock Prison, while ownership of Grigbyland is transferred to Shlock Brands.
Grigby subsequently escapes prison with the assistance of Bob, William, Bucky, and Froge. The group infiltrates Shlock Brands and recovers the deed to Grigbyland.
At the conclusion of The Grigby Movie, Grigby announces that he intends to run for president, setting up the events of Vote Grigby.
Personality
Grigby’s personality is defined by:
- Ego: Grigby frequently takes credit for achievements that were accomplished by multiple people.
- Greed: He regularly prioritizes profit, even when doing so damages his businesses.
- Charisma: Despite his flaws, Grigby is capable of convincing others to participate in his schemes.
- Entrepreneurship: Grigby constantly develops new businesses, products, and ideas.
- Impulsiveness: His plans often escalate because he refuses to stop when something is already successful.
- Confidence: Grigby rarely acknowledges when he is wrong.
- Resourcefulness: He is capable of recovering from situations that would normally end his career.

The YouTube incarnation of Grigby is presented as an extension of the fictional universe, frequently blurring the distinction between fictional events and behind-the-scenes production.
Reception and style
Grigby’s comedy is heavily influenced by ensemble puppet comedy, absurdist humor, fictional corporations, parody, and escalating situations. He also takes major inspiration from popular puppet franchise, The Muppets[1]. The character is frequently placed in situations where his attempts to solve a problem create significantly larger problems.
The franchise’s humor often comes from treating increasingly absurd events as ordinary business or everyday occurrences.
