Comedy Chimp

"You, my friend, are one witty simian!"

- TV Announcer, "Can an Evil Genius Crash on Your Couch for a Few Days?"

Comedy Chimp is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. He is an anthropomorphic chimpanzee and a prominent television personality on Bygone Island. A former multi-media star, he currently hosts his own television show, the Comedy Chimp Show.

Appearance
Comedy Chimp is anthropomorphic chimpanzee, about as tall as Knuckles, with brown fur and brownish-grey facial fur and chest fur. He has an almost round torso, large arms and hands, and surprisingly small legs. His face is slightly chubby and he has a pair of wisps on his forehead and a hair tuff on the side of his head. For attire, he wears a wisteria shirt with straight light blue markings, white socks and black shoes.

TV series
Previously, Comedy Chimp was a movie star and starred as the lead role in at least one successful movie which was famed for having a twist ending. He eventually left this profession and started his own talk show, the Comedy Chimp Show.

When Sticks got an invitation to the Awardy Awards, Comedy Chimp showed up unannounced twice, hoping to be one of the people Sticks would take to the gala. However, Team Sonic rejected him both times. Nevertheless, Comedy Chimp still got to the gala where he and the rest were saved from Dr. Eggman when he tried getting the award by force.

During Sonic and Dr. Eggman's time in the court, Comedy Chimp performed an act on his show accommodating the events of the trial and later his own "New Years Eve Rockin' Bananaganza". For a special edition of his show, Comedy Chimp interviewed his guest Dr. Eggman about his success with his tomato sauce, where Eggman revealed his plot to conquer the Village with his robotic sauce cans which began swarming the set. Comedy Chimp tried to flee but was cut off by the cans and was forced to hear Eggman's bad jokes, until Team Sonic came in and stopped him.

While the world was caught in a time loop created by Dr. Eggman, Comedy Chimp would visit Meh Burger repeatedly until the loop was broken, unaware of what had transpired. Later on, while on his talk show, Comedy Chimp helped introduce the "Are You Smart Enough to Feed Yourself?" television show. Comedy Chimp eventually attended Amy Rose's sensitivity seminar where he vented some insecurities, though his fellow participant Sonic eventually left them to retire. Comedy Chimp later joined the seminar on a camping trip, where he found Sonic back in business upon his return.

The Big Boom
While at a restaurant, Comedy Chimp had to take cover as Dr. Eggman attacked in the Big Boy. While hiding, he talked with the Fastidious Beaver about how bothersome Eggman's attacks are.

Boom Shaka-laka
During a trip in the Village Center, Comedy Chimp was offered a bridge by Dr. Eggman. Though Comedy Chip liked the offer despite its uselessness, he declined since he did not trust Eggman. After much consideration though, Comedy Chimp decided to invest in Eggman's proposition, but when he heard from Eggman that the bridge was no longer for sale, he decide to invest in a go-kart instead. When the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix was being held shortly after, Comedy Chimp joined the competition for the sake of publicity. A while into the race, he noticed Tails falling down a cliff and considered helping him until some Bee Bots snuck up from above and created talking holograms of Comedy Chip's shoulder devil and shoulder angel who convinced him to crash his go-kart to create a spectacle for the audience, eliminating him from the race.

Worlds Unite
After the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix, Comedy Chimp was heading home with the Fastidious Beaver, when Sticks strong-armed the duo into joining "Team Sticks" and help the Maverick Hunters, who were stranded in their dimension, find Sigma. They thus infiltrated Eggman's lair, where they had Orbot and Cubot open a Genesis Portal for them.

Personality
Comedy Chimp is noted to be very witty and fearless in his comedy (which is not always funny) as he is not afraid of making jokes at others' expense. He appears mostly snarky, upbeat and undeterred, but inside he holds some deep insecurities. While trying to polish his image as a celebrity, Comedy Chimp is generally good-hearted as he considered giving up his position in the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix to help Tails who was in trouble.

Like most comedians, Comedy Chimp is notorious for spending his money on bad investments, though his better judgment of people serves as a somewhat of a buffer to it.
