It was a name the Whovians gave him right? sure sounds like a slur to me
Calling him a green one is a slur.
Grinch was the scientist, but the character commonly called “The Grinch” is really Grinch’s monster, created by Grinch.
Not many realize that Grinch the scientist is the actual monster of the story
Or maybe he’s like the Hulk and turns back into a regular Who when he’s in a better mood?
Is that why he’s naked? His regular clothes are too small when he grinches out?
Too large by three sizes. His transformations start with the heart.
This theory is making more and more sense. Which also implies there’s no Who Tony Stark to make him the uber-stretchy pants.
He doesn’t like Christmas because that’s when he turns into the monster.
- You see, the Grinch is a Who who always… Actually, not a Who, he’s more of a…
- A what?
- Exactly, honey. And he’s a What who doesn’t like Christmas.
Yes
His full name is Theodore Grinch, but his friends (numbering 0) call him The.
It’s a slur
I mean I think it’s a slur
Damn Grinches ruining this country!
Holy Moses this is a racist song!
“Uhhh…just change that term to Grinch.”
Hey, this would make a great Christmas cartoon!
“You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch” The clue is in the song.
I mean, “You’re a mean one, Mr. Assface” still works despite being more of an insult than a proper name
Mr. Assface had plenty of time to change his name legally
Codsworth recognizes Assface as a proper name, but that was in 2077 so maybe we just haven’t gotten there yet, culturally.
‘The grinch had a heart that was three sizes too small.’ It gets ambiguous very quickly
Thats just his full name
Mr The Grinch? I can see it. It would probably at least partly explain why he hated everyone too.
He’s sort of like Cthulhu: the only one of his kind, who came into the world fully formed to represent the idea of Grinch and nothing else. He’s not the third child of Mr. and Mrs. Grinch, who works as a quantity surveyor, has a love of crosswords and Italian opera, once wanted to be a baseball player and happens to be miserly about Christmas.
According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation tie-in comic book there’s a whole species of them.
He had a mother in this 1982 cartoon.
Since Theodor Seuss Geisel was publishing new material until shortly before his death in 1991, that’s probably canon, if that term could apply here.
Cuthulu is offspring of Nub, who is offspring of Yog Sothoth and has other relatives.
There must be an all knowing Grinch grandparent and parent that is absent and uncaring in his life.
Who is the offspring of the Nameless Mist. Who is the offspring of Azathoth, the blind idiot. If Azathoth wakes up we’re all fucking goners.
It’s a hierarchy of horrors starting with Boo from Mario Bros, on through The Grinch and Cthulhu, and topped off by Azathoth.
IMO it seems like he’s been forced to live atop Mt Crumpet due to Who-gentrification or more disturbingly because of an ethnic Grinch cleansing
Slur? I think you’ll find I pronounce it quite clearly
Yes
