James Goodman (also known as Mr. Goodman and Badman) is the main antagonist of the SML series. He was Black Yoshi's archenemy in the older videos, but he is currently Mario's arch-nemesis who demands for his house payment as his landlord.
He was voiced by Zeke. Since Zeke was no longer a member of the SML cast, Goodman is currently voiced by Lance Thirtyacre.
His Evil Ranking[]
His Villainous Deeds[]
- It is heavily implied he is now an obscenely-powerful CEO mob boss whose company is a front for a massive criminal organization and gets away with committing enough crimes to get him locked up for life or even executed because the police are extremely corrupt and take bribes like candy, and is also presumably smart enough to hide his operations from the FBI. As shown in "Jeffy's Paper Shredder," he has become so immersed in his own evil that doing nice things physically hurts him.
- While he claimed to be Mario's house landlord and asks for his house payments, it's revealed that he was not the actual landlord and he is actually committing fraud. Since Does Bad Things Guy apparently gave the house for free to Mario and Bowser, and Goodman started to ask for the house payments two years later after Mario got the house, plus they never shown Mario paying his house payments prior 2018 much less mentioning them or even a landlord.
- He is greedy enough to go several extremes to get even trace amounts of extra money, including changing his own birth name to cash in somebody else's check in "Jeffy's Shirt."
- He discriminates against poor people and showed his prejudice towards them in numerous episodes.
- He makes frequent threats of biting off Mario's nipples/balls and the time when he actually bit off Black Yoshi's nipples.
- He is a proud cannibal who kills people if they don't give him his "house payments" and rips off their balls and nipples to eat, and he sees no problem with it.
- He endangered 75 African elephants just to make his business suit, which is poaching. He has also murdered baby seals to make his business shoes, saying "the cruelty makes them softer."
- In the episode "The Movie Date!", Brooklyn T. Guy tries to lie to Goodman about there being an emergency, but Goodman just states that it is "not his problem," even if it's a lie. This shows Goodman is selfish and tends to lack empathy.
- He abuses his son Richard so he can mold him into a suitable successor, for example at the ending of "Mr. Goodman's Son," when Richard realizes that money doesn't buy happiness, Goodman is appalled and slaps his AirPods off for saying such a thing.
- In "The Life of Goodman," he kidnaps Mario for not paying the "house payment" and forces him to stay in Chive's room for a few days.
- In "Invisible Jeffy," he shoots and almost kills Jeffy for stealing his money, though he arguably deserved it.
- In "Breaking Bad" he sells Mario's "mortgage" to the Mexican Cartel Leader, who behaves the exact same way he does such as him cutting Mario's balls off if he doesn't have $10,000.
- He’s a womanizer as he sees sexualizes women’s bodies and calls them names related to their looks.
- In "Jeffy’s Piggy Bank," he threatened to strike Rosalina in the face with his “watermelon” ball-sack, and take her from Mario as if she were property.
- In "Jeffy’s New Toy," he spam linked a sex film called Ass Pounders 2, getting Mario in trouble with Rosalina.
- In "Mr. Goodman's Revenge" in order for Mario to convince Goodman to drop Rosalina's charges, he forced Mario to do certain things while wearing a thong.
- In “Jeffy’s Vacuum,” he forces Marvin to bob for his house payment and car keys threatening to strike him in the face with his “iron ballsack.”
- In "Goodman Goes To Jail!" he would falsely accuse Chives of being his mastermind to get in trouble for no reason. When Goodman leaves jail, he left Chives to be tortured by Bubbles for several weeks.
Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- While he passes the baseline, he fails the high heinous standards compared to Cody; a sexual deviant who raped Junior and Joseph repeatedly for 5 years while using a time-freezing device and assisted Penelope in her genocide of all boys, Frieza; who destroyed Vegeta and Brooklyn T. Guys' planets, The Frog Chief; who planned to commit genocide of all humans, and Mojo Jojo; who tried to wipe out humanity with his death ray so he can conquer the world. He also fails the heinous standard to Jeffy as well who done worse than him.
- He is constantly played up for laughs as a wrathful caricature of a "greedy businessman" who demands for Mario's house payments, and expresses his elitism in very ridiculous and over-the-top ways. Also, he tends to provide once too many mischievous, perverted and egotistical moments that are so humorous it doesn't help him being taken seriously by the viewers.
- Once Goodman first got his black "Elephant Asshole" suit, he exaggerates this to the point of making a swearing rant.
- The gag of Goodman wanting Mario's "house payment" is a conflict that is treated as comedic and dramatic at the same time.
- He always goes to many lengths to earn even more money, even if it meant willingly falling on a slippery puddle and suing Walmart to become rich in "The Bet" for example.
- His sadomasochistic moments were also exaggerated for comedy. Such moments include Goodman squeezing his scrotum in front of Mario to make him realize what not paying his "house payments" is like, and seemed to enjoy guilt-tripping Mario into making him follow his requests. Even though his masochistic moments are much rarer than his sadistic moments, there were times when he'd harm himself to make his plans of action work as seen in "The Bet."
- On some occasions, he sides with or even helps Mario in ways that wasn't just made for a opportunistic end (ex. "SML Movie: Jeffy's Paper Shredder") and has had some genuine moments with him despite how overwhelmingly arrogant Goodman tends to be (ex. "The Bet!").
- He does have moments where he expresses genuine honor.
- He pardoned Bowser Junior and Chef Pee Pee's $50,000 debt when the latter's act of giving Goodman blue waffles inadvertently caused him to reminisce about the times when his mother cooked him blue waffles as a kid.
- When the Nintendo Switch came out as a hit (albeit a literal light switch), he gave Mario his cut.
- He was appalled by the utter lack of useful ideas provided by Dr. Finkleshitz, to stop a giant asteroid that was on its way to destroy Earth, and condemned the latter for idiotically making making a shrimp ray and turning it into a giant shrimp, instead of shrink ray and shrinking it, which nearly caused the destruction of Earth.
- While it did make sense that he refused to loan Chef Pee Pee the $50,000 that he needs for his restaurant because of his his cooking (which did make a lot of sense because Chef Pee Pee's cooking sucks and he even admits that he put a hair in the food), at the end it did make sense because Chef Pee Pee burned the steak that he ordered, and didn't have a business license in the first place, and decided to do it, So it made sense that he didn't give Chef Pee Pee the $50,000.
- He originally planned to lower Marvin's monthly house payment, but changed his mind when his wife framed Marvin of sexually assaulting her. When the truth about his wife came out, he apologized and pardoned Marvin's house payment.
- In Mr. Goodman's Father, after his father dies, he pays Marvin the promised $50, even pointing out that he is a man of his word.
- He was disgusted with Jeffy doing a gross, humiliating, and terrible job as a news anchor, that he decided to resume his job as a news anchor, completely disregarding the high TV ratings. Pointing out that the job of being a news anchor is to deliver high quality information to audience.
- He helped fund the cure for AIDS, which in turn saved a lot of lives from being infected by said disease, which is surprising considering how incredibly greedy and selfish he is.
- He excused Marvin from paying his house payment for a month, after the latter helped him convince Goodman’s son Richard that the Apple Vision Pro that Goodman bought wasn’t his.
