On your left! Busy inventor coming through!
Guy-Am-I, (alternatively spelled Guy Am-I), is a main character and deuteragonist, turned protagonist in the 2019 Netflix series Green Eggs and Ham. Guy is an anthropomorphic Knox who hates the titular food green eggs and ham, the food brought by Sam I-Am for him to persuade into eating. He is voiced by Michael Douglas.
Personality[]
Guy is shown to be pessimistic. His failures made him have a more negative outlook on life than others around him, which impacts his socialization skills with others. He does care for others, often being protective of his friends when they act recklessly or are otherwise in danger. This is shown when he is easily annoyed by Sam, but teams up with him to return the chickeraffe to the zoo when he had gotten stranded in the desert. At first, he says that he hates green eggs and ham in the first part of the series, thinking that he will not like them, even though he had never had them before. However, in the Season 1 finale, "Anywhere", once he finally gives them a try, he likes them, and declares that he will eat them with anyone and anywhere. He also has a crush on Michellee, and has tried talking to her multiple times.
History[]
Season 1[]
Guy Am-I is a frustrated failed inventor whose inventions always explode, resulting in his frustration. He presents his invention, a self-flyer, to representatives for SnerzCo so that he can win a ticket to Meepville; however, his invention malfunctions and fails, being rejected as competing inventors managed to get tickets. Dispirited and frustrated, Guy decided to cease becoming an inventor and instead be a paint watcher (a job he deduced as boring, but had no option for). He meets Sam at Donna's Diner, who orders green eggs and ham. Despite voicing his distaste for the dish, Sam orders it for everyone in the diner; Guy ends up leaving, but accidentally takes Sam's identical suitcase with him. He later rented for a room at a motel and, when trying to settling down, Guy finds to his horror that Sam's suitcase contains the Chickeraffe. They begin traveling together and form a friendship, until Guy discovers that Sam is a con artist, making Guy get angry with him and even say that he did not fit anyone, not even his own mother. This line makes Sam upset with Guy, until the latter decides to eat Green Eggs and Ham by his own volition to show how much he cares for Sam. Like in the book and special, Guy ends up loving the dish, and says that he will eat with all the animals and in all the locations he has been offered throughout the series.
