Horrible Gelatinous Blob is a good-natured male alien, when he is not upset about something, such as problems at work or a sad movie. Then, he is prone to violence at the slightest provocation. This usually ends with him swallowing the offending party. He and his family live on the rings of an unidentified planet which might be Venus, so it is possible he is a Venusian. Horrible Gelatinous Blob is also known as H. G. Blob.

Biography

He is known to have worked for an ad agency, as he apeared in a commercial for Planet Express (1ACV02). However, it is unlikely that he met anyone at the company directly, as he doesn't seem to recognize Hermes Conrad or Professor Farnsworth before, during, or after beating them to a pulp, an act caused by a lot of stress down at the plant he was working in, which introduced computers in 3002 (3ACV12). He has also worked as a stockbroker (3ACV21). Later, the bad influence of Bender to his son made him become one of the FART (4ACV06).

In 3010, Horrible Gelatinous Blob was seen in an interplanetary relationship, which suggests he is cheating on his wife, when Bender and Amy were fighting for the passing of Proposition ∞ (6ACV04), fried a hobo during the Heating of the Western Hemisphere (6ACV08), and attended the 100th Delivery Party of Planet Express (6ACV12).

Additional Info

Trivia

• His initials may be a reference to science fiction author H. G. Wells.
• His voice is very similar to the voices of Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8, and Morbo, co-host on Channel √2 News. All three characters are voiced by Maurice LaMarche.
• In The Beast with a Billion Backs, he describes Yivo as being "horrible". This is ironic, as he is a horrible creature himself and his first name is also "horrible".
