The party bro is a recurring character in Smiling Friends. He makes his first appearance in "Desmond's Big Day Out."
Appearance[]
The party bro is a tall, light skinned man. His head has a slight bump in the middle of it, as well as some strands of hair. In his first appearance, he wears a grey button shirt, dark red pants, and sandals. When attending the party in “A Silly Halloween Special,” the party bro wears a black shirt with the word “Halloween!” printed on it in orange text.
Personality[]
Party Bro is a generally unpleasant man who has no tolerance for broad societal issues (such as blackface or pandemics) and will take the chance to bully people that he perceives or knows to have participated in the causes of these issues, often bringing in the surrounding others to assist in bullying.
Role in series[]
"Desmond's Big Day Out”, Pim attempts to make friends with him while at a house party with Charlie and Desmond. Pim touches Party Bro to get his attention but the latter reacts negatively to this advance and proceeds to mock Pim's age, causing the partygoers to laugh at him.
A much older Party Bro briefly appears in “Shrimp's Odyssey” during Pim's fantasy about falling in love Jennifer. During this, he is shown to marry Pim's daughter and become his son-in-law, later fathering a critter child that bears his crooked nose.
The party bro is seen in “A Silly Halloween Special” as a guest of the halloween party at Smiling Friends Inc. When the Forest Demon crashes the party, he accuses the monster's appearance of looking like blackface, which leads to the outraged partygoers brutally ripping it apart. Party Bro is seen cheering maniacally as the demon's remains are burned.
The party bro's most recent appearance was in "The Glep Ep" when he appears at the bar Glep goes to after quitting the Smiling Friends. As Glep tells his multiple stories from past centuries, there is one story where he is in England, where he is thought to be a witch, and is about to be burned at the stake, but spits on the person who was going to burn him, which causes them to cough, and then spread the disease to everyone around Glep and kill them all. After Glep is finished telling his stories, the party bro is very frustrated and starts cussing at Glep, accusing him of starting the bubonic plague. He tells Glep to get out of the bar, and he leaves. After Glep leaves, the party bro asks all the other patrons to pray fro the many victims lost to the bubonic plague, which carries on into the post-credits scene.

Trivia[]
- Party Bro, Doug and Professor Psychotic (partially) are the only characters to be animated with the use of rotoscope animation.
- In some parts of the Halloween episode, he has normal animation. This has led to theories that say that Party Bro is only animated with rotoscope whenever he's annoyed.
