Reggie McFurball

Reginald Edgar George McFurball, otherwise known as Reggie-Eddie or simply Reggie, is a monkey, fool, and clinical idiot. The character has been a part of the channel from the very early stages and the original videos.

Character Bio
Living in a hot-press cupboard and at one point possessing an IQ of 7, Reggie is not the sharpest tool in the shed - being dumb enough to not read the script the has been given to act from (due to his illiteracy), yet smart enough to know he's in a YouTube video. "'He just walked in one day and wouldn't leave,' - Matt"Reggie is in almost everything Matt creates in some shape or form, and was included on the channel from the very beginning, and managed to survive the Channel Rethink, though is not present in every video (The Curious Case of Cybershell being a good example, as Matt thought Reggie would be too much of a distraction in a serious video). He is meant to represent what Matt thinks of himself, or how Matt used to act as a child, though he has many characteristics that deviate from this main characterization (he is illiterate, allergic to bananas and has spectrophobia). His actions can be considered a form of Sophomoric Humor, purely due to how juvenile his sense of humor is, Most of the comedy to do with him partially comes from his sheer stupidity, though this is linked with the fact that he is a drunkard.

Backstory
Yes, Reggie has a backstory.
 * He was born in the past (a date which he cannot remember) in a place (which he also can't remember) and at some time of the day (he can't remember that either). All he knows that he somehow travelled to Ireland after being evicted from the rainforest by not paying his taxes - it's said that he ate the tax bill the minute he was handed it because he assumed that the tax collector was giving him free food.
 * He may or may not have been The Doctor at some point.
 * After travelling to Ireland, he received discrimination about his inability to eat bananas, which is impressive, considering that the discrimination was self-inflicted. After inhaling a fistful of sugar, thinking it was free drugs, his breathing became permanently altered, making his entire body contract when inhaling.
 * He met Matt and Dark Matter through some rather unconventional circumstances - they were on the same bus to Tesco and Reggie followed them home.
 * The rest is history.

Reggie the actor
In a former life, Reggie was a theatrical actor. Unfortunately this has taken a toll on his personality, and may explain the existence of Dr. Pewp.

Friend?

 * Whether Matt and Reggie are friends or not is up for debate, as Matt and Reggie often mock and ridicule each other in ways which one would not associate with friendship, various instances of which are scattered through the channel's videos, most prominently The YouTuber despairs.
 * Other people seem to actively dislike him, with a few exceptions, such as Comic Fan 13.
 * Reggie means well, though does tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
