Goo, labeled The Fluid, is a male contestant in Inanimate Insanity Invitational. Goo competed on the The Pinkers, and was placed on The NEW Thinkers in "Best Served Cold".
After his poor challenge performance in "Title TBD", Goo was unsuccessful in campaigning against Candle to the swing vote on the team, resulting in him being voted out 3-2. After being sent to Indefinite Island, he connected socially with his fellow eliminated contestants, but ultimately lost both re-entry challenges, placing 12th.
He was formerly voiced by Justin Chapman.
Appearance[]
Goo is a small blob of light blue slime with an azure blue center and a cyan highlight. He has a wiggly mouth and he has no limbs.
In Season 2, Goo appears bolder and bluer. His shading and lighting were also redone.
Personality[]
Goo is a very energetic and bubbly character who is always smiling and generally upbeat. He enjoys rambling and eventually getting off topic after long periods of talking. Goo frequently uses unusual analogies when speaking, and he observes that his analogies do not always "stick," resulting in many awkward conversations. Regardless, he remains optimistic, reasoning that even a bad impression is memorable. He is often described as a "sweetheart" due to how kind he is to other people.
Most of all, Goo wishes to bring joy to his fellow contestants. He does this with his best friend Bot, and they call themselves the "Cheer Factory." Goo sometimes takes this role more seriously than the game itself, and is perfectly content to lose a challenge if it means making someone happy.
Despite his optimism, Goo is prone to anxiety, which he does not conceal well. When things go wrong, he panics and frequently collapses under pressure. Whatever happens, Goo does his best to remain positive and assist his team. He uses pinecones as a stress reliever.
Official Site Bio[]
| “ |
Goo is hard to describe... but he also has a hard time describing! Whether it be his wacky analogies that make no sense or his desire to make new friends, nothing Goo does ever really “sticks”. With no arms and no legs, he’s an oddball, literally. Strange as he is, Goo is determined and will always stand up for his friends! Even if they are a little weirded out. |
