Tyler Perry is an American actor, director, producer and screenwriter who appears in the Season Fifteen episode "Funnybot".

Background[]

In "Funnybot", he was the only person who was present to collect his comedy award, other than Jimmy Valmer. He received the Kathy Griffin Award, which is awarded to the person who is most likely to show up to collect it.

Throughout the episode, Perry communicates almost exclusively through catchphrases from his movies, such as "Oh Lerrrrd!" and "Halleluyer!", dressed as his character Mabel "Madea" Simmons. The episode portrays his comedy as appealing solely to black people - Tolkien Black is the only one who laughs at his jokes, giving him money every time he speaks. President Obama also mentions watching one of Perry's movies with his family before Funnybot is supposed to end the world. Both of them are embarrassed to admit that they find Perry's comedy funny.

Tyler's antics become increasingly absurd, reaching the point that he dressed up as his most famous character, Mabel Simmons, and refused to leave South Park Elementary. At the end, the Americans and Germans secured him within an enormous metal sphere deep underground, in place of Funnybot, stating that he was "one of the worst threats to the world."

Appearance[]

Perry initially appears as a relatively faithful portrayal of his real-life self, dressed in a suit and tie.

However, later in the episode, he appears as his character Madea, wearing a purple dress, a gaudy pearl necklace, a pair of thick-rimmed pink glasses, and a grey curly wig, with inexpertly applied red lipstick.

Personality[]

He appears to be extremely desperate for attention and money, showing up to receive an award from South Park Elementary despite the sheer frivolity of it, and annoying everyone with his overbearing and melodramatic antics as his character Madea. He also only appeared to stay in South Park since Tolkien paid him every time he told jokes.
