| + | |
| - | '''The Poopsmith''' is just a regular guy with a ''very'' crappy job. Literally. It's unclear whether "The Poopsmith" is his actual name, as it's used occasionally with an [[integral article]], but often without. His body is peach-colored and egg-shaped, and he has small blue legs and feet, a white head, and an enormous underbite. He wears a pair of large orange gloves stained with [[whatsit]], and he is usually seen carrying a large shovel. In [[I Killed Pom Pom]], it is implied that he has no arms under his gloves, or at most a stump on his left arm. The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and [[#Speech|rarely officially speaks]] (except in [[email thunder]], where he sings the opening song, and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]]), nor does he seem to ever display any emotions or facial expressions. He does occasionally [[The Poopsmith's Signs|hold up signs]] to communicate, however. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture, similar to how his [[Old-Timey]] incarnation, [[The Demon]], uses his pitchfork.

| - | While it is still unclear exactly what his job is, The Poopsmith has been employed by [[the King of Town]], apparently to [[your friends|shovel whatsit for a living]]. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], [[Strong Bad]] describes The Poopsmith's job as being the King's "personal bodyguard-slash-mime-slash-poosmith." He also works as a mail carrier, as seen in [[Compy Catalog]]. While he never seems to transfer whatsit between his constantly-soiled gloves and anything he touches, the inherently filthy nature of his job tends to keep him out of most social circles; for example, he is apparently banned for life from Strong Bad's [[Swimming Pool]], as seen in [[keep cool]]. Despite this, he seems to be held in deep respect by the other characters. For example, Strong Bad has refrained from [[your friends|hurting]] The Poopsmith, figuring "the guy shovels [[crap]] for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof." He even [[big white face|made two cakes]] for The Poopsmith (though he threw one of them at [[Strong Sad]]). The Poopsmith also seems to be a good friend of [[Pom Pom]].

| - | During [[disconnected]], The Poopsmith is depicted as being the King's law enforcement agent, defending the King and his "[[municipality]]" from the rock-throwing disobedience of [[Head Bad and Strong Body|Strong Body]]. He also has some musical talents: he plays the cymbals for the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]], which made its first appearance in [[Fall Float Parade]]; and is the lead vocalist for [[All the King's Men!]] despite never speaking (he simply gestures with the microphone).

| - | In [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], The Poopsmith is married to the pleasant odor of a bouquet of flowers, but they died after coming into contact with his stench.

| - | The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and rarely officially speaks. The first instance of his breaking this vow outright occurred in [[email thunder]], the 200<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]]. Here, he sang the opening intro song, and was voiced by [[tmbw:John Linnell|John Linnell]] of [[They Might be Giants]]. It was foretold that The Poopsmith would again break his vow after another 200 emails. He was again voiced by John Linnell in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], in which he realized he was tired of his identity and wanted to be another kind of -smith.

| - | There have been a few other possible minor exceptions:
| + | |
| - | *In [[The King of Town DVD Storyboards]], The Poopsmith was supposed to say "Nope". This line was not included in the actual toon.
| + | |
| - | *In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], The Poopsmith (dressed as a Sleestak) hisses at Strong Bad (disguised as [[Homestar Runner]]) and [[The Cheat]].
| + | |
| - | *One of the changes Strong Bad would make in his [[different town]] is for The Poopsmith to talk. To demonstrate this change, the fantasy Poopsmith says "Hello!" in a deep voice.
| + | |
| - | *In [[highschool]], Strong Bad's "doodle memory" includes a scene with "The Diapersmith" blowing a raspberry at baby [[Strong Sad]].
| + | |
| - | *In [[senior prom]], a deep voice (similar to The Poopsmith's imaginary voice in [[different town]]) says "Oh yeah!"; though it is never found out who actually says this, it is strongly implied that it was The Poopsmith (who was seen holding a microphone earlier in the email). When everyone looks at him in shock, he just shrugs it off. In the DVD commentary for this email, [[The Brothers Chaps]] suggest that it might instead be [[The Blacksmith]].
| + | |
| - | *In [[Ever and More!]], The Poopsmith appears to join the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] in chanting the "frothy, shanty chant", although his mouth doesn't move when the other characters' mouths do.
