Guybrush Threepwood is the protagonist of the Monkey Island series.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Guybrush is obsessed with the idea of becoming "a mighty pirate" - something easier said than done when one is a milksop of a man and has no notable skills to speak of other than the ability to hold your breath for five minutes straight. But while lacking in brawn, Guybrush's reasonable amount of brain (and/or thorough lack of common sense) sees him push through anyway; turning him into a proper pirate captain and one of the most skilled "insult sword fighters" in all the Caribbean.
Much of Guybrush's troubles come from his infatuation with the fiery governess Elaine Marley, alongside the fact that he shared this trait with the dreaded ghost pirate LeChuck. The latter does not take kindly to his unrequited love; frequently sending Guybrush to a desperate quest in order to save Elaine (or, more often, himself).
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Guybrush may or may not have debuted in 8chanmania VII, but this is mostly based on conjecture.
His only properly recorded appearance was in 8chanmania XCV. There, he first defeated Hat Kid, and then fell to a chair trick by King Harkinian.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- As a running gag, most people are pathologically incapable of remembering Guybrush's name, leading to creations like "Thriftweed", "Threewind", or "Peepwood".
- Guybrush's first name came more or less from accident - the placeholder name for his original sprite simply was "Guy", while the Deluxe Paint software LucasArts worked with saved image files under the name "brush".
