How come Clive is so awesome?

Archive: 38 posts


Personally, I think Clive is the most epic creator curator so far in LBP history. A lot of other people adore him too. But why? Why is he so spectacularly epicsauce with bacon on the side? That question is bugging me 24/9. I think it's because he's so pathetic and wimpy.

Why do you guys like Clive? Say your opinion and/or reasoning in the comments my friends.

Clive is epic because he has a unique character model. He's a notebook.2011-07-24 05:42:00

I can't believe you said that after that 'What Is Clive?' thread was floating around for so long.

I think Victoria is pretty funny too because she always has tantrums
A lot of people LOVE Clive. It's good that someone finally gave Victoria some love. Besides Larry.
And thanks a lot for posting you guys

I think we identify with Clive because of all the characters (aren't they each supposed to represent a sort of self-obsessed pride or something that feeds the Negativitron?), he's the defeated pathetic whelp. He used to be great, and that greatness was what made him a jerk. He's not a jerk now, he's humiliated: just a little man, sitting in a can. If it weren't for Sackthing coming along he'd still be sitting there. It's heartwarming. We want to help Clive. Everyone else is just some obnoxious character. (I skip over all the cutscenes, except for Clive and the Factory). He also, by virtue of being so incredibly depressed, has no emotional filter. He doesn't care about the situation, he'll say things flat out, and he's not often wrong. He's the only character to use sarcasm. And when he's happy (in those very rare moments in the story when he smiles) it's really cute.

I think you are correct. He does use sarcasm.
Clive said *while Eve's Asylum is burning*-

Oh. Well we're just here for Dr. Higginbotham.
I guess it is kinda funny when he's happy. I think it's his face
And pretty much every time you see Clive he says or does something funny. Like in the final level, he's in the second part of the battle. When the camera is on Clive, it makes a high pitched scream.
And he's the only one who makes sense.

(PS- Have you noticed that on Clive's sackbot animation, when the sackbot's emotion is neutral, it has a small frown? Pretty useful

what arbiekko said plus the fact of his levels being one of the more visual and gameplay apealing. i mean, his levels are sorta the "canyons" for lbp2, right? i hate-er i mean "dislike" the canyons. i love clives levels. the retro feel he has is completely awesome (and im suprized it was CLIVE'S levels to be using bombs, i thought it would be like, avalonia, or the cosmos) and if someone made a series in clives theme and gameplay type, im sure they'd get a BUNCH of plays. plussss~
i've noticed along with sarcastic, sillyness and a good sense of humor, he is compassionate, he feels guilty. and he has a lot of metiphorical bits in him. like how his charater seems plain and type of a "square", his heads a square.
AND(lol) one last thing, is it me or do you notice something? clive, eve and victoria:
they all have singing(vioces)in their songs,
they all have a creative artstyle to their levels,
thier designs all incorporate thin arms, legs, ex. to give a crafty feel.
not saying that clives one of the girls, lol but its something to think about.
oh and, another point, for fan service here, usually girls dont get as many fans as guys do. clives a guy, so it make loving his character even easier
and i think clives an interesting character because there's more than meets the eye, after playing his levels a few times you notice little thing that fills his persionality.

long story short: he's an intersting, funny, and silly character.

Clive's angry face (not the stupid level) looks hilarious! He's probably one of my favorite characters, just because of that and his resemblance to Yellow Head.2011-07-25 14:51:00

When I think about it, he does look like Yellowhead a 'lil bit
But it's still pretty cool

He drinks a can of condensed awesomeness with his awesome waffles for breakfest, but then takes a deppression pill, cuz he thinks he's too awesome, but alas, he is still awesome.2011-08-21 23:39:00

It's a calendar -.-

Calender vs Notebook isn't that epic compared, to say, Warthog vs Puma or Timbrel vs Tambourine.

This is kind of random, but I'd say the Eve is the best, only because her levels were very differnt every time and you never knew what to expect.2011-08-31 16:15:00

I guess Clive's awesome because the community love his angry face I remember a series of cinematic video's showcasing Clives angry face, they where generally well recieved.2011-09-19 13:05:00

You can't ask why Clive is so awesome?! It's like asking a dog why he's a dog, or a girl why she's a girl?
He.... just is!

You know that Avalon used to be the main villain, but he's still awesome.

There is absolutely nothing awesome about Clive. He has a unique design, but it's nothing special. He is a bland character who's only popular because he's popular. He's basically the Chuck Norris of LittleBigPlanet.2011-09-21 23:50:00

His head is a notebook (or calendar or whatever), his torso is a rubber, his arms and legs are paperclips and his hands and feet are pieces of paper, nuff said. It goes well with his personality and backstory. His work is boring office work (at least for us) and he looks like something a bored office worker would make and put on his desk. It's excellent character design brought to us by MM 2011-09-22 19:07:00

Yellow Head sucked from the start. "ALL THAT WORK AD SUFFERING AND ACING AND I GET THAT THING!!!!" Clive is the best. All you need to know.

Well. I cannot let the injustice go on.
No-one (and I've checked this forum) has mentioned the coolest creator.
Da Vinci!
He has 3d glasses, made out of newspapers, has the coolest music And he has such an awesome personality. Don't even attempt arguing, I shall not reply.I am off now.ciao.

Clive is the best because he never knew that saturated fat was in pretty much everything. He then developed an allergy for it and became depressed. Which is another thing: He's awesome and doesn't think so himself! What a humble man!2011-10-16 18:46:00
