Carl Chryniszzswics is Johnny Bravo's neighbor who debuted in Season 2. Carl is Johnny's best friend, a local genius, and a geek. He is often considered annoying by others, mostly due to his nasal voice.

He appears in almost every episode during Seasons 2 and 3, but, by Season 4, his character gets a major downgrade in the form of only making cameo appearances or minor roles. However, he does have one major role in Season 4 in the episode "Run, Johnny, Run!" where he tried to help Johnny get to his date in his car.

Appearance

Carl wears a light blue shirt, baggy teal pants, teal shoes, and diamond-shaped glasses that are often tinted blue or white. He has reddish-brown hair. One of his most recognizable features is his oversized mouth.

In Season 4, Carl was redesigned to fit the art style used in the first season of the show. This resulted in him becoming more average-looking with rounder features.

Personality

Carl is intelligent, inventive, eccentric, timid, and friendly. He is often over-enthusiastic, talking a lot and clapping his hands or exclaiming words such as "Yay!" and "Okay!" when excited.

His main interests are science, sci-fi (especially Trip McCoy: Galaxy Boy), and bugs. Carl's other interests can vary, though he does have a lot of knowledge on history, mythology, and various cultures.

Carl is also a big fan of role-playing. In "Carl Be Not Proud", he makes Johnny play the role of Biff Proton while he plays Trip McCoy, dressing in full costume. In "Law And Disorder", Carl attempts to stall for time by suggesting a therapeutic role-playing session between he and the mall burglar (who was currently holding Johnny hostage) where he poorly sings as cabaret singer Billie Holiday. While being an active member of the city fire brigade in "Backdaft", Carl claims the activity is his favorite part of being a fireman, shortly before playing the role of a cat stuck in a tree and frightening both Johnny and Pops in the process.

Carl has a strong sense of justice, occasionally making speeches. In "Hail To The Chump" after Johnny's new law as mayor lands him in prison, Carl tries to rally the townspeople together to unionize and end Johnny's rule. When confronting Johnny, he makes a long speech until he is thrown out a nearby window. In "Lord Of The Links", Carl helps Johnny cheat in the Sappy Bluff Golf Tournament and reveals that a competitor was cheating via the use of magnets and golfballs made of iron fillings. Due to the duo's cheating being just as unfair, Carl gives the trophy to the Prospector, getting beaten by the angry losers as a result.

Unlike Johnny, Carl is not constantly in pursuit of women, nor does he act brutish towards them. On the rare occasion, he gets crushes or ironically ends up getting the attention of women instead of Johnny.

Intelligence

As a genius, Carl has the knowledge to invent many different things, such as a small robot named Sparkly, a Fountain Of Youth potion, a computer made of nougat and recycled cans, a dream research machine, and a molecular body mass teleportation device.

Some of his more bizarre ideas like the single piece jigsaw puzzle, Baby's First Lettuce Farm, and Mr. Raddish Face toys proved to be great successes in "Toy Boy Johnny", although Johnny dismissed him and took all the credit for said inventions.

Biography

Childhood

In "Rashomoron", Carl begins to tell his life story to Bunny Bravo before being interrupted, claiming that he was born in a log cabin and his father split silicon chips for a living.

In an old photograph of Johnny and his classmates shown in "Get Stinky!", Carl can be seen as a child. He wears the same outfit in a smaller size and has a noticable gap in his teeth.

Middle School

In middle school, Carl used to bully a much shorter and acne-ridden Johnny. This was revealed in a flashback where a younger Carl bullies him out of his lunch money in "Freudian Dip". When asked, Carl tells Johnny he mistreats him because he will always be bigger and older than him by three weeks.

High School

While in high school, Carl took a rubber duck as his date to the prom.

Relationships

Carl is Johnny's closest friend, even if Johnny may never admit it. Tagging along on many of his adventures and offering him support, Carl acts as his overall loyal, positive, yet geeky sidekick.

Whenever Johnny gets into grave danger, Carl is quick to try and save him from harm or protect him in some other way, such as in "Ape Is Enough" and "Biosphere Johnny".

Carl insists on being Johnny's best friend with unbridled enthusiasm, even after all of the bad things that happen to him as a result. Usually, Johnny only treats Carl poorly because he sees him as an annoyance and a "weird little freak".

Carl's bullying days could have been the root of Johnny's hostility, although he appeared to had long forgotten about them until he was hypnotized by Suzy in "Freudian Dip". This is likely, considering that Johnny's current relationship with Carl is different than his with Stinky Brownstein, his elementary school bully who attempted to reconnect with him as an adult, only to be met with childish skepticism and paranoia. After middle school, it appears Carl developed a much nicer personality. This makes him the opposite of Stinky, who revealed she only wanted to humiliate Johnny for old times' sake, proving him right. Over the course of Seasons 2 and 3, Johnny begins to tolerate Carl's company more, treating him less like an obstacle.

Despite Carl's friendliness, he occasionally snaps and insults Johnny when angry or mistreated. The two are also prone to getting into immature arguments that often lead them into serious trouble, such as in "Doomates" and "Chain Gang Johnny". Carl sometimes makes offhand comments about Johnny's lack of intelligence, such as saying that he thought he was "too stupid to learn computers" in "Johnny Goes To Camp".

Carl has been given many nicknames by Johnny, most notably calling him "(a) weed". Some occasionally end in "-boy", such as "idiot boy" and "weasel boy".

One running gag between the two involves Carl laughing at something Johnny said or asked, replying with "You're funny!".

Carl is a frequent customer at Pop's Moon Palace. Unsurprisingly, Pops trusts Carl more than he trusts Johnny. Despite this, Pops is just as capable of using Carl for his own gain and potentially illegal activities. Carl sometimes goes to Pops to vent his frustrations to him, such as sadly visiting the diner with his dying plant.

Bunny Bravo is friendly to Carl and once referred to him as a "sensible young man". However, she did give Carl the same punishment as Johnny's in "Days Of Blunder" after he installed a nuclear engine in her car. Carl often formally calls her "Mrs. Bravo" or "Mama Bravo".

Another friend of Carl's is Little Suzy. In "The Hansel And Gretel Project", Carl helps Suzy film her video documentary as the camera man. The two are also seen about to play a game of badminton in "The Color Of Mustard" before Johnny joins in and defeats them, much to their dismay.

Carl occasionally mentions his own mother, usually in the context of having borrowed something from her, such as her car in "Bravo 13" and a dress in "Charm School Johnny". In "Balloon Platoon", Carl mentions that his mother has been to France and later tells Johnny that she would yell at him if he was late for dinner at home as an excuse to leave. He was also once allowed to cut up one of her dresses to make costumes in "Hold That Schmoe".
