Why was he jamaican?

Why was he jamaican?

because it's funny

idk look it up

/thread

More importantly: Why did it feel so right?

because he sends people to Limbo

bump

Why wouldn't he be Jamaican?

Last episode was almost a decade ago.

Why do you think he would be anything but?

because grim is the chocolate in my eclair!

Figured it was some kind of sideways reference to Jamaican voodoo.

the voice actor couldn't do a Swedish accent

No, Boco, that's wrong

Yeah, probably.

I think it's just an extension of the "limbo" gag from the pilot

I don't think he was ever human. His mother and father were some sort of evil spirits as he tells it. He says they pressured him to become a Grim Reaper when all he wanted to be was a wood nymph or a satyr or some such.

Well, I guess they could have been Jamaican or Haitian spirits. What do they have, Loa? Maybe they were Loa.

IIRC he was originally going to be English but the voice actor did a Jamaican accent when he was auditioning and it stuck.

Why not?

good post

because jamaican people dead

No thats seriously why. End of thread

This guy gets it.

I laughed harder than I should have.

because it was a silly voice HE did for his kid when reading him stories and Atom liked it

Yeah, it was just something they found hilarious.

imo it's a fun subversion of the "ancient deities/demons or whatever all have English accented solemn voices" trope.

Originally he was supposed to be British but Maxwell Atoms didn't like how he sounded.

The VA the decided to reread his lines with a Jamaican accent, akin to old Jamaican voodoo witch doctor stereotype. Atoms loved the new voice and not only decided to stick with it but did some rewrites to better fit the new accent "The "Limbo" gag in the pilot, his habit to refer people to "man" after the end of a sentence and etc.).

Good thing maxwell kept it like that

Because Billy and Mandy are always jamaican him angry.

...

How bad do you think a reboot of Billy and mandy would be?

Make FredFredBurger part of the main cast bad.

mandy is still the same, but she's now a buzz kill while Grim and Billy do PPG/TTG tier jokes

...

Haha! You motherfucker

Don't start that or you will feel like you are 60.
last episode of Teen Titans was 11 years ago
last episode of Ed Edd and Eddy and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends was 9 years ago
last episode of Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Chowder was 7 years ago

I see where this thread is going, have my (You)

>Implying Mandy wasn't already a buzzkill.

...

why is this getting all these responses
this is a joke from the show

Deepest lore

...

Someone probably posted it on reddit

...

VA attempted a Swedish accent to reference the seventh seal. It came out wrong and sounded Jamaican. It stuck because they thought it was funny.

...

I'd say it's right.

Both the Limbo and the death cults tie in.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cause he jamaican us crazy mon.

Kek

it weirdly works for some reason.

Holy shit

technically, the first episode he appear, he challenges the two kids to a game of limbo

The more important question is why in the world was it so incredibly fitting for some reason?

Whatever the reason, it definitely made the show memorable.

...

Because Greg Eagles killed it.

So I can compile the responses and post it on /r/Sup Forums.

That was actually the whole joke in the pilot, remember?

They had to beat him in limbo for the soul of Billy's ten year old hamster.

When does the show say he was Jamaican?

Anyone else attracted to Grim?

You are not alone

You cheeky fucker.

Because he was in my bacon

Baron Samedi, most likely.

>Grim become an human
>He's white

Why

It's the plot of the pilot

Voodoo is Haitian

Holy shit the pilot episode makes even more sense.

because his skeleton is white

Because he didnt know what he was messin' with

...

I think it's a reference to Meet Joe Black.

IT'S CANON

Why not?

Ow.

That's literally the whole plot of the pilot

He mainly risides in Limbo

I mean there are whites Jamaicans who talk like that.
Though I was annoyed too.

fucking hell, Sup Forums

Overlord Onion approves.

>made a truthful post
>go to sleep
>wake up to find a ton of (you)s from people thing I was just making a pun

feels good man?

fug

...

>Implying Jamaican's don't speak with a Death accent

That's Family Guy's death.

...

...

...

He speaks with a Jamaican accent.

DA FUCK
why so many reactions ?
LIMBO has litterally nothing to do with Jamaica
bunch of sheeple

All that matters is that the association exists in the public consciousness

...

>Voodoo is Haitian
Nigga wut. Voodoo is a tradition dating back millennia, having roots in West African Animism. It was transmitted over to the Carribean because many slaves who practiced voodoo were shipped over there.
