'I dunno!' - Beefy Bert

Beefy Bert is a boy in Henry's class. He is a member of the Purple Hand Gang, loyal to Henry, and the drummer in the Zero Zombies. He is best known for when Miss Battle-Axe asks a question; Bert replies with his usual motto, 'I dunno.', followed by an intellectual answer from someone else. He commonly sits next to Gorgeous Gurinder in class.

He is one of the least intelligent in his class.

Wayne Forester voices him.

Description[]

Bert appears to have pale skin and short cropped brown hair. He wears a blue jacket with a yellow shirt underneath, brown trousers, and white trainers. In "Horrid Henry Tricks and Treats", "Horrid Henry and the Perfect Panto" and "Horrid Henry Gets Spots" he appears to wear a cardboard robot suit.

Personality[]

He is rather unintelligent and does not know anything at all, as he always says, “I dunno.” He is quite unintelligent and clueless. Despite that, in "Horrid Henry Wins the Cup", he was taking part in the Brainbox of the Year Competition with Henry, Margaret, Andrew, Stuck-Up Steve, and The Brick House Boys to win the Brainbox of the Year Competition. To get the right answer they ask by what name the Wormicus Basilicus Del Mondo is known.

In "Horrid Henry and the Tooth Fairy", although he appears be tough and intimidating, he actually doesn't like using violence and instead just moves on when people like Henry give him trouble. Though in some cases such as "Horrid Henry's Underpants", he is willing to resort to revenge when other boys are targeting Henry.

There are a few occasions where he says other words than 'I dunno':

  • In "Horrid Henry Gets Rich Quick", Bert asks Henry, ' You got any food?'. This quote proves that he has a limited vocabulary.
  • In Henry's fantasies in "Horrid Henry: Who's Who?" and "Horrid Henry's Magic Mayhem", he says other words than 'I dunno'. In "Horrid Henry: Who's Who?" it is because his name changed to Brainy Bert. In "Horrid Henry's Magic Mayhem", he says, 'I would say' a few times and finally said, 'I would say that it really depends on which way you look at.', and then he whispers to Henry, 'Did that make any sense?'.

Trivia[]

  • He is the only character to have his voice changed since Series 1. In this series, Bert had a lower-pitched voice.
  • His class sang the I Dunno (song) in "Horrid Henry, It's All Your Fault!".
  • He is shown to own a pet pig.
  • His avoidance of answering questions may be the result of shyness or social anxiety, as he is shown to actually be able to speak sentences other than “I dunno” so it could suggest he has more to say than he lets on.
  • In the German dub, his name is "Muskel Martin", which is German for "Muscle Martin", this comes from his muscular build.

Errors[]

  • In the Series 1 - 2 opening intro, his hair's blonde. However, this is fixed in the Series 3 intro.
