He's only been programmed to sell oilade and write in cute backwards letters. (Bender Gets Made)

Have you guys noticed any similarities between Pip from South Park and Tinny Tim? Like the English accent.
And don't you think Tinny Tim is based on some Charles Dickens character?

No, but if it were one of the main voice actors, I 'd say it 's the person who does the voice of Amy.

And don't you think Tinny Tim is based on some Charles Dickens character? As haleys_comet pointed out, Tiny Tim was a Yank--but we were still pretty close to our brethren The Evil British then (calm down, it's a joke) and had yet to develop our own finer accents like the New Joisey, or the Texas Drawl. Pip of South Park got his own episode a little while back--narrated in "live-action" by Malcolm McDowell!--which was a mixture of Great Expectations and B-movie sci-fi/horror and pretty much Pip's last big showing to date. Like Tinny Tim, once you've established him as a long-suffering Dickens character and smacked him around a bit, you've used him up completely. (I would have enjoyed seeing Tinny as a totally-ineffective part of the Robot Uprising, though.)

Before accepting him as one of their own, the Robot Mafia gave Bender a test. He was to deliver a disc to Sammy "The Mechanical Bull" Gravano in Little Bitaly.
Unfortunately Smitty and URL was on an undercover job, looking for suspicious types, and zoomed in on Bender. Fortunately Bender bought some oilade from Tinny Tim, and gave him the disc in the proces. Tinny Tim delivered the disc to Sammy "The Mechanical Bull", in exchange for a few dollar (he only got one note from Bender)
