Characters
Josh Redgrove is the 16-year-old cashier and the smarter of the two Mr. Meaty employees. Josh is into dating and girls and is often seen hitting on his female customers. He also enjoys making movies, indie-punk, and acting cool. His ambition is to become a filmmaker/rock star. On his job application, he mentions that he enjoys buttering bread and fixing holes.
Josh left, Parker right
Parker Dinkleman is 15, and works as the frycook at Mr. Meaty. Dim witted and hygenically challenged, Parker enjoys making movies with his friend Josh and cooking foods. Unfortunately, his gross habits, including flatulence and other bodily noises, scare away girls that Josh is talking to, and for this reason, Parker can be considered Josh's foil. His special skills that he wrote on his job application were "Nunchucks and stopping kids from running". Parker was a member of the Bear Cub Scouts.
Britney: Parker's love interest
The goth girl: Josh's love interest
Ashley: the girl who almost gives Josh her cell phone number until he farts
Chip: the model employee 2.6, "...it has all the food prep gadgets we could cram into it's pleasing polyurethane rubber skin and a customer service software that would put C-3PO himself to shame."
Sky: A girl who gave Josh her phone number after he farted in front of his date. She then farted in front of Josh. He was so disgusted that he gave the phone number to Parker.
Mr Edward R Carney: Mr. Meaty's founder and CEO (as pointed out in Mr. Meaty Employee Training Video #77), previously cryogenically frozen. He will not rest until every man, woman and child has a Mr. Meaty meal five times a day.
