- “My name is not Theodore! It's Armpit!”
- ―Armpit to Stanley[src]
Theodore "Armpit" is a supporting character in the 2003 live-action film Holes.
Background[]
Personality[]
Armpit is rude and has a penchant for mean jokes which are told at the expense of others. Perhaps his most notable trait is that he has an absolute disregard for hygiene. He sings that he hates taking showers or even brushing his teeth. He seems unconcerned about how he smells, though the other campers are understandably repulsed by his foul stench. This is shown when Mr. Sir denies Armpit a week of showering, and the others are horrified.
Physical appearance[]
Armpit is a fat teenage boy with dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes. He also wears an orange jumpsuit.
Role in the film[]
Dr. Pendaski has Armpit be Stanley Yelnats IV's mentor due to him being new at the camp. Shortly after meeting him, Armpit throws him to the ground for calling him by his real name. Stanley had asked him where he could refill his water canteen. Still, their relationship improves, but slightly.
After Warden Walker interferes at camp, Armpit taunts her by holding out a oven dial and asks if he can have a day off as he sees it as something interesting. In response, Mr. Sir denies Armpit a week of shower tokens, and the others are horrified. He later bids Stanley goodbye, allowing him to call him by his real name. Armpit and the rest of the campers stay in touch with Stanley and Zero and are seen going to his new house and swimming in the swimming pool.
After Camp Green Lake was closed and converted into a camp for girl scouts, he was sent to a counselor along with the other campers. He later watches the new Sploosh commercial with Stanley, Zero, the rest of the campers, Clyde Livingston, his wife, and the family of Stanley and Zero.
