The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy tells the exploits of Grim, a Reaper with a Jamaican accent and Billy, a slow-witted and idiotic happy-go-lucky boy. They are constantly followed around by Mandy, a dark, cynical and merciless girl. After Billy and Mandy cheated at a limbo match against Grim to save Billy’s pet hamster (in retaliation for putting the limbo rod too low for them to go under), he is enslaved in a permanently unwanted friendship with the children. Grim feels miserable in the first days of his servitude, and is even thinking about killing them on multiple occasions. But as the time passes by, he gradually adapts to his new life as best friend, and even grows to care for Billy and Mandy. Despite this, he retains a love–hate relationship with the two and desires to eventually break free from his servitude. Billy and Mandy use Grim’s supernatural powers to enter supernatural locations or environments, such as the Underworld, or the Netherworld, inhabited by grotesque monstrous beasts. The children also use Grim’s enormously strong supernatural abilities or ties with a number of beastly characters for their own benefit, often with twisted results. Famous fictional monsters like Dracula, the Wolfman, and the bogeyman are also make comical appearances in the series.
