Robbie Shapiro

Robbie (born June 14, 1993) is a shy and awkward student at Hollywood Arts who nearly always carries a ventiloquist puppet named Rex.

Characteristics
Robbie himself is very shy and uncomfortable around girls. When a girl shows even little or fake signs of affection, he gets nervous and tends to overreact.

Robbie is a master ventriloquist and Rex is his alter-ego, a very hip companion who likes to hit on girls, essentially being what Robbie isn´t. They frequently argue because Rex talks too much. That means hes a big weirdo!!

He is lactose intolerant and he can play the harmonica and the guitar. He showed this when he performed both in a song he wrote. (According to http://www.theslap.com/clips/9)

"You can play with a balloon you can lick a rubber band,

You can eat a tasty prune you can slap your mother's friend.

If you want to pet a frog it's as easy as a log.

Just take your hand and rub the frog's head!"

He customized his locker with a mosaic made from his old baby bottles.

In the episode Survival of the Hottest, Robbie is portrayed to be a little selfish. Most prominently when those who are trapped in the car are sharing the water. Though everyone else is taking their fair share, Robbie gulps the whole drink, angering the others.

Robbie also displays a lack of self confidence. In the episode Tori the Zombie, he keeps asking others about his performance. This also shows that Robbie can be jealous, because everytime he asks, someone else had been complimented.

In one episode, Robbie is shown to be a computer whiz, helping "Ma-Maw" with her new computer.
