Mr. Boss
Mr. Boss is a character from the original Adult Swim series Smiling Friends by Zack Hadel and Michael Cusack. He is the owner of the titular company in said series. He is a surprisingly lax and caring boss to his employees despite apparently being quite rich, but does have a breaking point. Despite being treated as male in all instances, he has been shown somehow breastfeeding an unknown baby in at least one instance.
Tournament History
[edit | edit source]He was first nominated for Mr. /co/lympus in the 2022 tournament following the full premiere of his series' first season and an expanded role within it. He would have narrowly qualified for a lower seed this year alongside the main duo of Charlie and Pim from Smiling Friends, but due to an oversight he was mislabeled as being disqualified by the three per series rule. Instead, his slot went to Jafar while the final seed was given to Dr. Livesey. This error was pointed out a few times in the threads, but not reversed on accounts of both the voting already starting by this time and the affected characters being newcomers who had also qualified for the first time this year.
Mr. Boss did not get the votes to qualify in 2023, but following the second season of Smiling Friends debuting earlier in the year he finally made it into the tournament during Mr. /co/lympus 2024. Notably, he had made it over his employee Allan by exactly one vote. Despite his redemption, he ultimately did lose the first round to a surprisingly energized and high seeding Puss in Boots.
The Boss will be given a chance to qualify for a second run during Mr. /co/lympus 2025.
