Biography

Book

Guy-Am-I first appears reading a newspaper inside a lounge when suddenly Sam-I-Am interrupts him, boasting about who he is. Guy, fed up with Sam, states that he does not like his behavior, as he finds it annoying. Sam then interrupts his monologue, asking if he would like to try "green eggs and ham" to which he refuses, stating "I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Sam-I-Am". Sam goes to great measures to convince him to try the dish, as far as suggesting various locations (house, box, car, tree, train, dark, rain and boat) and alongside various animals (mouse, fox, and goat). Each time, Guy angrily refuses and repeats everything Sam previously suggested by saying "I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere.".

Eventually, after he is seemingly trap with Sam (as well as all the other individuals Sam previously suggested he eat the dish with), Guy vainly accepts Sam's offer to try the dish, if he will "let him be" to which Sam agrees. Guy eats the dish, and to his surprise, he likes it telling Sam "I do so like green eggs and ham. Thank you, thank you, Sam-I-Am".

2019 Netfix series

Guy-Am-I is a failed inventor whose inventions always explode. He presents his invention, a self-flyer, to representatives for SnerzCo so that he can win a ticket to Meepville; however, his invention malfunctions and fails, being rejected as competing inventors managed to get tickets. Dispirited, Guy decided to cease becoming an inventor and instead be a paint watcher (a job he deduced as boring, but had no option for). He stop at a diner and meets Sam-I-Am, who orders green eggs and ham. Despite voicing his distaste for the dish, Sam orders it for everyone in the diner; Guy ends up leaving, but accidentally takes Sam's identical suitcase with him.
