| ~ Glep speaking his gibberish language, Wingon |
Glep is the tritagonist of the adult animated comedy series Smiling Friends. He's a small green critter who works at Smiling Friends Inc..
Although his exact job in the company is unknown (even to his fellow coworkers), he's usually seen in the background doing random unrelated things around the office. He speaks in an incomprehensible, fast-paced gibberish language called "Wingon," but despite this, he is still understood by the rest of the cast.
In "The Glep Ep," it's revealed that Glep served as the company's co-founder and inspired it's business model upon meeting a homeless Mr. Boss.
He's voiced by the series' co-creator Zach Hadel, who also voices Charlie Dompler, Gwimbly, Plilford, and the Bug of Knowledge in the same series. In "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back", he was voiced by Joshua Tomar.
Appearance[]
Glep is a small green-colored critter who has very small limbs and large eyes located beside his beak-like mouth. He usually wears a purple wizard-style hat.
Personality[]
Glep appears to be a somewhat lazy and often preoccupied critter, usually minding his own business by watching videos on his tablet, sleeping, playing video games, or lounging in the break room engaging in various smaller hobbies of his (like witting, solving Rubix's cubes, painting small toys, etc.). He prefers to keep to himself and his own activities and is rather irritable; whenever he gets interrupted, he tends to respond dismissively or as though he is annoyed. Examples include when Allan asked about a missing paperclip, during his Mr. Frog auditions, or when Pim yelled in the room, prompting him to put his headphones on. It's even mentioned that he bit Mr. Boss when the latter tried waking him up. At times, he also can be absent-minded, wandering around Mr. Boss' office aimlessly during "The Magical Red Jewel (aka Tyler Gets Fired)."
In spite of speaking only in gibberish, Glep is apparently perceptive according to his coworkers, who somehow understand him. When explaining his decision to vote for Mr. Frog and suggesting they keep Rotten in the freezer to keep him alive, he was praised for his thinking. Glep is also an amicable character who does appear to like his coworkers, as he does get along with them, and in "Mole Man," he is genuinely upset seeing Charlie and Pim fall into a caving hole, frantically telling Mr. Boss and Allan what happened.
Glep also seems to be attracted to tall, curvy women, as evidenced by his wife Marge and his interest in such women at the beach, causing him to blush when it's pointed out.
In "The Glep Ep," his backstory is revealed, where it was revealed that Glep spent most of his life trying to fit in but struggling due to his differences. By the end of the episode, he is welcomed back into the Smiling Friends after Boss fired him, and he accepts that it's where he truly belongs.
