“I knew that.” -Bing, on multiple occasions
Bing is one of the protagonists of the Storybots franchise. He is a member of Answer Team 341B.
Character Description[]
“Bing Badaboom is a fidgety, pinball of a guy with boundless energy and the attention of a gnat (ADHD are just too many letters to listen to!). There is no daylight between impulse and action for Bing which, despite his best intentions, often gets Team 341-B into trouble. But, sometimes, his intuition and bias toward action are exactly what the team needs to get their answer.”
Appearance[]
Bing is a small yellow StoryBot with large eyes. He has blue limbs, grey claws, dark yellow eyebrows and pink wheels.
Personality[]
Bing is an energetic Storybot with a chaotic personality. Due to having ADHD, he can be impatient at times, being unable to wait or pester his teammates, especially Beep, to keep himself entertained. He absolutely loves going fast, that includes his speed of talking and his walking (or rather running) speed. He can also be easily distracted, such as the Area episode of Answer Time, where he was distracted by his game. He has been off-tracked from the main mission of finding an answer multiple times due to sweets, such as being distracted by the idea of getting chocolate and being whisked away into the AKπ Sweets Club in the “Why Can't I Eat Dessert All the Time?” Ask the Storybots episode.
Sometimes, Bing can be a little dumb, mistaking things for other things or not dive deeper into the question in order to find the answer. Once either one of the members pointed it out for the team, he does acknowledge his mistake, but brushes it off with a confident “I knew that”. He is also oblivious to the possible dangers that awaits him in consequences of his actions. He constantly dives headfirst into situations, which always end up in either him (in the case of Answer Time) or his Answer Team, 341-B (in the case of Ask the Storybots) stuck with more issues than just the initial question. Despite his brashness, he cares for his teammates well-being.
Trivia[]
- He's confirmed to have ADHD as shown on the official Storybots' X (previously Twitter) in here.
- Bing is voiced by Jeff Gill.
- (Based on the general article) His page is the most vandalized in the wiki.
- Ironic to his physical size, his description in the Storybots bible states that Bing was in college for over 7 years! With the confirmation of Team 341-B being in at least their 20s, Bing could possibly be in his mid 20s and might be the oldest member of the team.
