mr. pickles (voiced by dave stewart as of the season 3 finale) – he is the titular protagonist and the goodman family's pet border collie, the physical embodiment of the devil and who loves to eat pickles – hence his name – which tommy regularly feeds him. he also enjoys mutilating, killing and engaging in sexual debauchery with those who pose a threat to tommy or other protagonists. mr. pickles is highly intelligent and possesses incredible strength, surgical skills that he uses to mutilate his victims, the ability to steal from an evil scientist, a high-tech android, and demonic powers which allow him to control local animals to do his bidding. despite his seemingly-evil ways, he loves and is extremely protective of the impressionable young tommy and his family: protecting them from danger, and often killing those who might do them harm, such as murdering a group of pedophiles or turning an unlicensed breast surgeon who gave tommy breast implants into a multiple-breasted freak. he has a long-standing feud with henry gobbleblobber, the only goodman family member aware of mr. pickles' evil nature. while mr. pickles does not actually harm henry, the dog does put the old man in humiliating situations while making him seem crazy. despite their adversarial nature, mr. pickles has saved henry from being lobotomized while he was committed to an asylum and a cannibalistic serial killer that henry had befriended, unaware he was an escaped convict and serial killer. mr. pickles has also shown to be sexually attracted to tommy's mother by often groping, touching her private areas, and even playfully dry-humping her. mr. pickles' doghouse leads to a hidden, underground lair that's filled with blood, pentagrams, victims – both living slaves and dead, mutilated bodies – and a throne where he usually eats his pickles. many of the series' one-time characters usually end up in his lair where they are either killed or kept as prisoners. henry is the only person shown to be able to enter mr. pickles lair and survive repeatedly as nobody believes him due to his tales. he is responsible for turning henry's wife agnes into steve, which is implied to have been due to her promising to do anything he wanted her too. mr. pickles and agnes work together to stop henry from revealing the truth by having agnes pretend she has amnesia, but their plan hits a snag when henry takes her to a memory download service which is actually a blackmailing scam run by a group of hackers. agnes angers mr. pickles when she almost blows everything while being confronted by her daughter and henry over her failed attempt to seduce stanley into having an affair which had been revealed by tommy. she is killed by a passing truck but mr. pickles revives her and sends her on one last mission to destroy the satellite which contains a backup file of her memories. though it is implied that agnes became steve because mr. pickles threatened to kill her, mr. pickles sheds a tear as he shoots steve into space, indicating that he did come to care for her. it is shown in one episode of season 3 that he can't control snakes due to them having no ears to hear his demonic commands but learns to control them through vibrations. he also works well with beverly when stanley and his coworkers are kidnapped and ends up saving her, stanley, and his coworkers from their captors showing that he is just as protective of tommy's parents. in the season 3 finale, mr. pickles chases grandpa down to his cabin after he moves away, but is captured in a trap laid by grandpa so he can kill mr. pickles but mr. pickles reveals he can talk and tells grandpa he will tell him the story why he is evil. he tells a story about a tribe that used to sacrifice dogs but then one day there was a dog that couldn't be sacrificed, though mr. pickles is interrupted before he can finish when grandpa is paid a visit by murel a lonely widower whom tries to force grandpa to cuddle with him and they struggle over grandpa's shotgun while mr. pickles kills murel by throw an object that was on the wall of the cabin and grabs the shotgun that had been knocked away. grandpa escapes to his truck as mr. pickles chases after him taunting him the entire chase. eventually he tracks grandpa to a bar where the patrons don't believe him until mr. pickles shows up and talks as grandpa said. he holds the bartender, patrons, and grandpa hostage. grandpa asks why he torments him and mr. pickles explains it is because he knows the truth and mr. pickles makes everyone think he's crazy so he can't reveal the truth. he goes on to say he was just going to come up to the cabin and reveal he could talk so grandpa would look even more crazy if he told anyone but he tried to kill him, so they can't go back to the way they were before, though grandpa tries to convince him to spare him and let grandpa go somewhere far away where he can live in peace. however just then a news report appears on television that reveals grandpa is wanted for murel's murder and grandpa discovers mr. pickles set him up for murder. he punches mr. pickles knocking a speaker out of his mouth revealing that he couldn't talk after all. the patrons try to capture grandpa, only for mr. pickles to kill them with a handgun. he then escapes in a van with his steves one of which was providing mr. pickles' voice through the speaker, leaving grandpa to be arrested by the sheriff, though grandpa escapes custody when the sheriff's car goes off a cliff.
