The Corn Dog Guy is an inhabitant of the Outernet who sells corn dogs on the streets in his mobile booth. Known for his calm demeanor and resourcefulness, they adapt to changing situations with ease, even when faced with unforeseen challenges. The Corn Dog Guy in the Actual Short Cherry Blossoms is seen walking alongside a child, who is likely his son.

Appearance

Corn Dog Guy is a tall maroon natural stick figure in the same style as the Fighting Stick Figures.

Personality

The Corn Dog Guy is characterized by his incredible head for business, as they were not only able to remain calm during disastrous situations but could even turn said situations into business opportunities. Apparently, the one thing that can upset him is his customers ignoring him.

History

Corn Dog Guy came to life in the Outernet on March 15th, 2007, after they were uploaded to Newgrounds. They were created alongside his corn dog cart; and uploaded from the computer RobinsonMac.

At some point, they sold a pair of corn dogs bound with a pink ribbon to victim and Mitsi at a so-called "couples discount" — which actually costs over twice as much as two non-ribboned corn dogs. But Mitsi enthusiastically bought the couple's corn dogs anyway, either not noticing or choosing to ignore the scam. Corn Dog Guy waved them goodbye and leaned against his stand, giving himself a proud high-five.

During the events of "The Showdown," the Corn Dog Guy is selling corn dogs on the street when The Dark Lord's red-and-black beam suddenly shoots into the sky behind him. Stick figures rush to watch the spectacle and the Corn Dog Guy takes advantage of the influx of customers to increase the price of his corn dogs from $3 to $4. As the battle between The Dark Lord and the awakened The Second Coming commences, the other stick figures begin to panic, but the Corn Dog Guy remains calm and continues selling corn dogs. Finally, The Second Coming blasts The Dark Lord away with his lasers, causing an earthquake in the city and sending the stick figures scattering in panic. Seeing his customers fleeing, the Corn Dog Guy rapidly makes more corn dogs and commences waving them about to try to recapture their attention.

Five years later, during the events of "Wanted," the Corn Dog Guy is selling corn dogs (each costs $5) when The Chosen One blasts past his booth, pursued by the mercenaries. The Corn Dog Guy is caught in the crossfire and a stray glitch shot from the mercs' glitch cannons hits his booth, causing the entire booth (minus the sign) to become pixelated. They pick up a corn dog and sees it has been pixelated as well. Deciding to adapt and innovate, he switches to selling "Pixel Corn Dogs" for double the price.
