Hot Dog Man

The Hot Dog Guy is a minor character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He usually appears in the background, as part of a crowd shot or simply walking, occasionally with the Sausage Dog.

Appearance
He is a large anthropomorphic hot dog, with very thin arms and legs. He is always seen wearing a pair of dark sunglasses.

Personality
In "The Castle," the Hot Dog Guy appears to be quite easy-going, as he seems to only want to stay in the Wattersons' house to make a point, as he takes off his buns and acts as though this move is a shocking one, going against societal norms, despite the buns only covering his back. He acknowledges that this is not very logical, but seems to be happy anyway.

Episode Appearances
Note that, prior to "The Hug," it is ambiguous as to whether the hot dog character that appears in the majority of these episodes is this character or his student counterpart.
