The Doughnut Sheriff is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is a police officer that works in the city of Elmore, and he isn't very good at his job.

Appearance

The Doughnut Sheriff is, as his name suggests, a giant, pink doughnut. Since he is a police officer, he wears an officer's hat, a badge, and a blue policeman's uniform.

Since he's a doughnut, there is a large hole in the middle of his body, which has some large, flat teeth resembling popsicle sticks sticking out, and functions as his mouth. Strangely, he has pronounced eyelashes, which are usually used on female characters; despite this, he is indeed a male character.

Personality

The Doughnut Sheriff doesn't seem to be a very capable police officer, since he's extremely oblivious towards actual criminal activity, and usually doesn't notice when something isn't right. In "The Friend," he relies entirely on a manual on what to do, and accidentally causes the Chimera to explode, and many of his men to be injured.

Despite this, he shows his capability in "The Law," and his determination to enforce law and order in Elmore. But, in "The Pizza," he joins in the chaos, and commits crimes himself when he is not paid by Larry.

He also does not seem to realize that his mouth crosses through his body. Anything he throws into his mouth ends up on the ground behind him. Because of this, he is always hungry. His favorite food seems to be doughnuts, which is ironic, because he himself is a doughnut.

• "The Law" is his first major role.
• Even though he himself is a doughnut, he can be seen craving for doughnuts in "The Spoon."
