What is Clive?
Archive: 73 posts
| I know he is a calender but is he the CEO or what? He says he built the factory and he was a manager but wasn't he built by the factory (since it made "the most accurate calenders") The only thing I know 100% that he is, is weird....and awesome. | 2011-01-30 20:02:00 Author: Alexxerth  Posts: 233 |
| The only thing I know 100% that he is, is weird....and awesome. ..And a very depressed lonely man.  | 2011-01-30 20:03:00 Author: Alec  Posts: 3871 |
| i dont think he actually is a calendar, i took it that the other curators just mistaker him for one?... in any case he did say that he "built this factory from the ground up, its the best way to build one , i find" so i doubt that he could have been made in the factory that he made... /paradox loop | 2011-01-30 20:09:00 Author: Skalio-  Posts: 920 |
| It's quite simple, actually. Clive is a Calendar/ paperclip hybrid. We know that he, in fact, was not made by his factory because it shows pictures of him as a child with young Larry and Avalon. He was, somehow, inspired by his own self, and the fact that he was a calendar, to build a factory that ironically makes spaceships AND calendars. Clive is always depressed because since he has been a calendar his whole life, he is not the current year, therefore utterly useless. His year is probably the year he was born/made. Does this make sense? | 2011-01-30 20:12:00 Author: dragonember  Posts: 607 |
| He could be a multi year calender. | 2011-01-30 20:52:00 Author: Alexxerth Posts: 233 |
| True, but if you pay special attention to his head, you'll notice how thin it is. He possibly cannot have more than a year's worth of pages, surely. | 2011-01-30 20:55:00 Author: dragonember Posts: 607 |
| Oh, it's easy. One day, Clippy the Paperclip was exploring Outlook. He found calendar. 3 vodka bottles and 9 months later, Clive. | 2011-01-30 21:33:00 Author: Unknown User  |

| Besides that I meant that is he the CEO? | 2011-01-31 02:30:00 Author: Alexxerth Posts: 233 |
| He proably was. clearly not anymore as he is a little man sitting in a can. | 2011-01-31 02:39:00 Author: Merc  Posts: 2135 |
| You mean a little calender. Also did he remind anyone else of that little robot with the big head from A hitch hikers Guide to the Universe? | 2011-01-31 13:30:00 Author: Alexxerth Posts: 233 |
| I'm assuming he was pretty high up, judging by the big metal sculpture built (assumedly) in his image (: | 2011-01-31 14:14:00 Author: Matimoo  Posts: 1027 |
| You mean a little calender. Also did he remind anyone else of that little robot with the big head from A hitch hikers Guide to the Universe? You're talking about Marvin the Paranoid Android. It saddens me when peoples only reference of The Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy is from the abysmal movie adaptation. Of all of the iterations of HitchHikers Guide - The Radio Play, The Books, The TV series, the Text Adventure and The FIlm... the Film is by far and away the worst adaptation of them all. Alan Rickman's Marvin was whiney and annoying - rather than the clinically depressed character of the other iterations. If you liked the film (or even if you hated the film), then watch/listen/read to every other version - because the film is rubbish by comparison.  http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/9568/marvintherobot4093712.jpg | 2011-01-31 14:50:00 Author: Macnme  Posts: 1970 |
| i love clive, we are a a perfect match. he is calender i am disorganised. he looks good. he is inventor. he is depressed. what more do you want? | 2011-01-31 23:00:00 Author: unXpectiD Posts: 1132 |
| -long quote about HHGTTG- 1000 times this. Also, it's Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And for the record, I threw the movie out in disgust halfway through seeing it.  Though I fear we may have veered a little off topic - What is Clive? Clive is awesome. Here I am, brain the size of a planet... | 2011-01-31 23:13:00 Author: Keanster96  Posts: 1436 |
| LBP is made by people's imaginations, so Clive and his factory are the imagination of a depressed CEO who's obsessed with office supplies and dangerous things. | 2011-01-31 23:30:00 Author: cheesemuffins99 Posts: 102 |
| LBP is made by people's imaginations, so Clive and his factory are the imagination of a depressed CEO who's obsessed with office supplies and dangerous things. whoa....never really thought of that. Well he's a calender with an eraser body paper clip legs and......idk what his feet and hands are...paper? O.o | 2011-01-31 23:47:00 Author: Amigps  Posts: 564 |

| I actually read a few of the books. I now understand why in the film the potted plant thinks "not again". I did enjoy the books but I found it a bit...confusing. Not to say that flying dolphins, hitchiking in space, and an improbability drive make any more sense in book or film form, but there was just a lot of sub plots in the books. Edit; in response to the long Hitch hikers guide to the universe post. Didn't see the second page. | 2011-02-01 01:19:00 Author: Alexxerth Posts: 233 |
| Why does it think not again? O.o I never got that...I read all the books >.> | 2011-02-01 07:04:00 Author: Amigps Posts: 564 |
| Clive... I can only think of few things. He is a a very lonely and depressed calendar head, who built the factory, propably in his selfishness. I mean seriously: space ships are ok but a calendar who likes creating calendars is pure egoism. | 2011-02-01 07:24:00 Author: FreeAim  Posts: 2462 |
| LBP is made by people's imaginations, so Clive and his factory are the imagination of a depressed CEO who's obsessed with office supplies and dangerous things. Lol, reminds of a topic trying to find who thought up the Collector from LBP1, good times, good times  Oh, and the most important question is, who told him about saturated fat? | 2011-02-01 07:45:00 Author: kirbyman62  Posts: 1893 |
| Why does it think not again? O.o I never got that...I read all the books >.> Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now answer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy _characters#Agrajag) Douglas Adams is one of my all time favourite authors <3 And yes, Clive's character is exactly like Marvins - I suspect it's an homage | 2011-02-01 07:46:00 Author: Macnme Posts: 1970 |
| kirbyman62:Oh, and the most important question is, who told him about saturated fat? Probably Avalon. It looks like he got way too much of that. About Clive? Well, I think he is a man made of desk stuff and a notepad for a head. He was a successful factory owner until he became overwhelmed by the dreary factory life and became it. Then the Negitivitron attacked and added to his sadness. But his brave actions in that turkey level inspired him to do something with his life. But that's just what I think... | 2011-02-02 00:12:00 Author: captain sack  Posts: 88 |
He was, somehow, inspired by his own self, and the fact that he was a calendar, to build a factory that ironically makes spaceships AND calendars. Clive is always depressed because since he has been a calendar his whole life, he is not the current year, therefore utterly useless. His year is probably the year he was born/made. Does this make sense? wow never even thought of that. he's out of date? ... lol his "clothing" sure is,(i mean really, who wears a white shirt with grey pants?  ) but him, himself.... gah you dastardly awesome notepad or calander or office supplies... well you get the piont XD why are you so mysteriously cool? | 2011-04-15 22:08:00 Author: iinov8  Posts: 131 |
| What white shirt with grey pants? I'm pretty sure that that is just his eraser body | 2011-04-16 01:33:00 Author: Super_Clone  Posts: 849 |
| What white shirt with grey pants? I'm pretty sure that that is just his eraser body I just realized Clive's completely IN THE NUDE  | 2011-04-16 02:30:00 Author: Frinklebumper  Posts: 941 |
| He's a calender? I thought he was a notebook. | 2011-04-19 13:56:00 Author: lemurboy12  Posts: 842 |
| Clive is a Calendar Head With faces :]] | 2011-04-19 19:47:00 Author: Unknown User |
| I always thought he was a notebook, he may produce calendars but they definitely don't look like his head. And who draws faces onto calenders!? (Well, actually...) I'm sure he's a notebook though... I think Clive's depression is a result of getting too far ahead of himself. Building up this factory, only to be eaten alive by consumerism. He's not meant for business, he never wanted to run a major company. He just got lost and confused - now he's paying the price. We've all been there. Stay strong little man. *sniff* | 2011-04-19 22:08:00 Author: Leather-Monkey  Posts: 2266 |
| I think we also have to consider that perhaps Clive wan't always depressed. I mean, when we met him, his factory had just been torn to pieces by a Sackbot army. I don't think anyone would be happy if evil Sackbots (albeit, cute) destroyed something you worked hard on. Just look at how upset we get when our PS3 HDD get's wiped! | 2011-04-20 00:37:00 Author: standby250  Posts: 1113 |
| I think we also have to consider that perhaps Clive wan't always depressed. I mean, when we met him, his factory had just been torn to pieces by a Sackbot army. I dunno, he even looked kinda sad in his child sticker. And everyone walks all over him. | 2011-04-20 22:54:00 Author: Number7Million  Posts: 248 |
| LOL, Clive may have been the calender when the Great Depression started! | 2011-04-21 19:44:00 Author: GreenGhost28  Posts: 85 |
| Clive is NOT a notebook. Proof: A meanie in Full metal rabbit says "Your friends are dead meat and dead... CALENDARS!" | 2011-04-21 20:12:00 Author: Jakest123  Posts: 319 |
| he seemed to have feelings towards eve so he isnt always depressed | 2011-04-21 20:13:00 Author: nysudyrgh  Posts: 5482 |
| I never actually thought of him as a calendar, mostly a notepad to me =3 But now I think of it... He is a very confusing character XD | 2011-04-22 18:54:00 Author: GranolaCrunch  Posts: 105 |
| http://i52.tinypic.com/1060l83.jpg http://i52.tinypic.com/4loxua.jpg clive kinda looks like yellow head yeah, i sometimes play lbp togheter with remcolyx im always playing as yellowhead and hes always playing as clive | 2011-04-22 19:03:00 Author: nysudyrgh Posts: 5482 |
| he seemed to have feelings towards eve so he isnt always depressed Actually, she seems to kinda brush him off. So, even more depression! "I think I saw an . . . old flame!" "Well, no wonder she was in here." | 2011-04-22 23:10:00 Author: Number7Million Posts: 248 |
| Simple. A notebook with depression and an English Yorkshire/East Midlands accent. Edit: Calendar, not notebook. | 2011-04-24 00:04:00 Author: abyssalassassin  Posts: 717 |
| I played lbp2 and was dissapointed by Clive not wearing a rose for St George's day. He is English after all. P.sOn St George's day, a Yorkshire man should wear a white rose while any other Englishman should wear a red one. (Think Wars Of The Roses) | 2011-04-24 00:16:00 Author: unXpectiD Posts: 1132 |
| Recent historical evidence shows that the whole White Rose/Red Rose thiny was made up. | 2011-04-24 00:19:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| Not wanting to be too off topic but... when I go away and look at the celing of an english chapel from the 15th or 16 centuary, I admire the roses and the pomegranates on the celing. the roses are the symbols of henry the eighth and the pomegranates being symbol of the wife he had at the time. sometimes the two sybols are joined together to show the partnership of them. | 2011-04-24 01:03:00 Author: unXpectiD Posts: 1132 |

| To further confuse the story, we cant be sure he rly built the factory, because as he does say "he built it from the ground up", he also says later in pipe dreams by the rock hand "this has been in the factory before my time". Before his time? he claims he built the factory | 2011-06-30 17:38:00 Author: mrhollywood12345  Posts: 89 |

| I think he's a Sketch Pad, TBO, IMO. But I believe he did Create, build and Manage the entire factory, as all of his workers were sackbots and Cardboard 1950's Miner - esque cutouts with wobbly hammahs. But that's just my two cents! | 2011-07-02 02:46:00 Author: pilsburydoughboy55  Posts: 236 |
| The part where he says the rock hand was there before his time also confused me. So he build the factory from the ground up but that thing was there before he arrived? Can't think of any way that'd be possible. Also, there's that bunch of statues with that man's face in black and white, including the statue near that rock hand puzzle. I've forgot the name of the sticker but it's everywhere in the factory levels. Who is he? | 2011-07-02 20:52:00 Author: SnipySev  Posts: 2452 |

They're cutouts of men who work at the factory as miners to fit the 1950's diner theme | 2011-07-03 03:37:00 Author: pilsburydoughboy55 Posts: 236 |
| Clive was the son in law of the leader of the mustachio cult, wich recently got hunted down for stealing bread and singing a corny song right after it, and clive inherited his father in law's mustachio-ness and ran a factory. than the negativitron attack. I asked tim burton, he works at media molecule. | 2011-07-03 03:44:00 Author: Cactii  Posts: 426 |
| Not to get off topic, but one thing i found very funny was that while you can put any wrong "combo" of fingers on the rock hand and nothing happens, if you have everything down and you pull the switch for the middle finger, the finger goes up, but a sign comes down from above that covers the finger and says "DENIED!" | 2011-07-04 00:12:00 Author: mrhollywood12345 Posts: 89 |
| thats coz its rude O_O | 2011-07-04 20:46:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer  Posts: 1527 |
| Well yes i know i just found it funny that they thought of that | 2011-07-05 17:24:00 Author: mrhollywood12345 Posts: 89 |
| Eve calls him "Calendar Man" so I think it is safe to say he is a calendar man. | 2011-07-06 06:17:00 Author: poorjack  Posts: 1806 |
| In the level Full Metal Rabbit, near the beginning one of the evil sackbots says something along the lines of "Your friends are going to be burnt meat.... and burnt calender!" And everyone except for Clive is... meat... so it's pretty obvious that Clive is a calendar. | 2011-07-06 06:30:00 Author: EvasiveSpoon  Posts: 119 |
| Guys. He's NOT a calendar. It's a running gag! People mistake him for it. He originally WAS a calendar, before even the Beta Clive. | 2011-07-06 18:18:00 Author: pilsburydoughboy55 Posts: 236 |
| "Built from the ground up" doesn't necessarily mean he founded it. It could also mean that he made it what it is today, so we could assume that Clive took over the factory at some point as it was going bust, then improved it a lot. | 2011-07-06 18:26:00 Author: Plasmavore  Posts: 1913 |
| I though he was a notebook -_- | 2011-07-06 20:56:00 Author: zzmorg82  Posts: 948 |
| "Built from the ground up" doesn't necessarily mean he founded it. It could also mean that he made it what it is today, so we could assume that Clive took over the factory at some point as it was going bust, then improved it a lot. true, i think basically he just helped build it at some point, so basically all we know is he isnt the orinal builder, so maybe not ceo | 2011-07-07 21:43:00 Author: mrhollywood12345 Posts: 89 |
| Maybe he built the factory around it? But it's been inside the Factory since before his time, so the Factory would've needed to be built before he got to it. Maybe he built part of the Factory. | 2011-07-07 22:00:00 Author: Number7Million Posts: 248 |
| What white shirt with grey pants? I'm pretty sure that that is just his eraser body ya, i know, lol just making it funny. | 2011-07-12 13:15:00 Author: iinov8 Posts: 131 |
| Clive is probably someone's office tools. Probably a director's office tools, since his factory seems to be on a movie set. | 2011-07-13 01:43:00 Author: Sackpapoi  Posts: 1195 |

| Hah! me too! Wait... isn't he? | 2011-07-19 13:53:00 Author: Unknown User |
He's called a calender in the game but if you ask me, he looks more like a notebook than a calender. I'm guessing he's a calender-like notebook. Or was it a notebook-like calender?  | 2011-07-20 06:56:00 Author: Unknown User |
| He's like the notebook from Blue's Clues, on top of an eraser. He's always kinda sorta reminded me of Yellow Head though. Minus the yellowness. | 2011-07-22 16:43:00 Author: Phazerz123  Posts: 440 |

| He's like the notebook from Blue's Clues, on top of an eraser. Clive, get back inside the Drawer right now! You're not supposed to come out of there until the dog tries to tell us something. | 2011-07-22 21:57:00 Author: Number7Million Posts: 248 |
| Clive- a term commonly used to describe the words "epic" or "awesome". Another definition is that a certain man is SO epic, he lives a secret identity as a depressed notebook-calendar hybrid. This way, nobody knows who he really is, and wouldn't even bother to notice him... just try to figure out who he really is by yourself. | 2011-07-23 16:20:00 Author: Unknown User |
| He is a calendar that suffers from emotional desease. | 2011-07-23 17:18:00 Author: Unknown User |
| I think he is a calendar. But he might be a notebook, too. | 2011-07-23 17:20:00 Author: TheGoldenFlash  Posts: 209 |
| He's like the notebook from Blue's Clues, on top of an eraser. He's always kinda sorta reminded me of Yellow Head though. Minus the yellowness. Yeah, me too. I think they kind of took that basic idea of something that was created from scratch and created him from that (hence the notebook, for sketching). He represents the initial process of creation. | 2011-07-23 21:29:00 Author: DoodVogeltje Posts: 81 |
| Hes a notepad/calender sitting in a can. | 2011-08-16 15:46:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Has anyone ever wondered what might have happened if another person (instead of Sack Thing) had helped Clive before, and defeated the Negativitron? Two things: 1.Sackboy would still be on LBP1, without the awesomeness of LBP2... 2.Who is this person?! | 2011-08-21 21:59:00 Author: Protoraptor  Posts: 960 |
