Character-frenchie

"I'm hip, I'm slick, and all the women love my GI Joe with the kung-fu grip!"

He's not Rick James, but close … Leonard, aka Frenchie, is a grinning, greasy, Jheri-curled, Gremlin-driving horndog who always weasels his way back into your life whether or not you're prepared for it. Much like Pepe LePew, he speaks bad French and drives away almost everyone he approaches, blissfully unaware of the negative impression he makes. He'll come to a party equipped with Cold Duck, chitlins and hot sauce, and he'll get the pianist to play "Super Freak" while leading a dance line. Yet somehow, by the end of the sketch, he seems to save the day and show that he's not such a bad guy after all.
