Joel

From Bonus Stage

(Redirected from Joel Dawson)

Joel Dawson

Joel Dawson is a co-star in Bonus Stage. He's smart and oblivious at the same time. If Joel could describe himself in 3 words, he would say "the really great", hoping he would get a fourth word. "The Really Great" sounds cool anyway.

Joel is a dependable source of spontaneity and obscure pop culture references. He also appears to lack a certain degree of common sense which leads toward crossing boundaries for political correctness moreso than any other character. He may have even behaved racist back in high school, but he has since cleaned up his act.

Throughout the series, Joel is portrayed as the guy that does the science. He's created things such as the eShip, the Sitcom Reactor, and Rya. Most importantly, he created the Bonus Stage universe itself.

Although he is Joel's best friend, Phil does not appear to be treated well by Joel. While Phil has recognized that Joel makes his life more interesting, Joel appears to have only recently discovered that he relies on having Phil around as a comic foil.

Joel is the love obsession of three girls - Elly, Jessica, and June. At one point he was married to Sasha, but presumably divorced five years ago for reasons unknown.

His less-than-stellar experience with women hasn't stopped him from arranging relationships for Phil. He set him up on several blind dates in Virtual Dating, and built Rya for the express purpose of being his girlfriend. He is currently trying (and failing) to get him together with Cassidy.

In High Score, Joel had a deceased sister named Kate Dawson, who only appeared in a canned High Score episode. His weapon of choice, a unique baseball bat, was given to him by his mother. This was hinted to be a future plot point in Joel vs. the Monobrow.

In Fission Mailed, Joel hangs himself before he gets the chance to invent the device that brings people back to life. However, when Brad, Elly, and June come from the future to talk him out of hanging himself he invents a device that would restore the Bonus Stage episodes that would have otherwise been removed. He then hangs himself.
