Eek (Eek! The Cat)

Eek is the main protagonist of the Eek! The Cat animated series and segments. He is a kind, purple, anthropomorphic cat who's always friendly, willing to help, and eternally optimistic, even when the world seems to be against him- and it often is. His mantra is "It never hurts to help!"; this often proved to be untrue. He is voiced by Bill Kopp.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is probably one of the kindest cartoon characters ever created, one has to wonder how Eek began to be like this, considering all the stuff that gets thrown his way.
 * 2) He is a very kind, good-natured, and easygoing person. Despite all the pain and suffering he goes through on a daily basis, he's still incredibly kind and well-intentioned, and episodes would generally end with the lad getting rewarded in some way or another for facing the adversity squarely and for his selflessly good deeds.
 * 3) His motto is that "It never hurts to help!", although, with Eek, this is frequently not the case. Despite this, he's a good samaritan who's always ready to help, no matter what's squashing him or hitting him in that episode.
 * 4) He has an appealing character design.
 * 5) He's shown to show a ton of bravery in the misadventures he's subjected to, he even managed to survive the Underworld, succeeding in all the tasks the Devil set out for him.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He goes through a lot of crap per episode, even more than your average Butt-Monkey, and yet he somehow never gives up.
 * 2) * Also, he's the type of Butt-Monkey who never deserves to be put through all of the mortal danger he's subjected to and is frequently a victim of slapstick situations that often happen out of his control.
 * 3) While he isn't that much of an idiot, there are times where he gets oblivious.
