Affiliation(s) Chicky Licky

Chickenfoot, also known by his real name, Chewy Rodriguez, used to work at a Chicky Licky restaurant until a tragic accident involving a wet microwave occurred, which stuck the zipper in his Mr. Chicky Licky costume. He became convinced that he had become half-man, half-chicken, and wandered at the "fringes of society".

Since then, he had become a bit of a cryptid, or urban legend. Some believed in him, some didn't. He even made it onto an episode of Mysterious Mysteries. Dib proves him to be merely the by-product of an exploding microwave during his first and only appearance in "The Sad, Sad Tale of Chickenfoot".

After Dib fixed the zipper on Chewy's suit with the "dirty chicken" toy, Chewy believed that "the curse had been lifted", after falling out of his suit and being swarmed by TV reporters. It's unknown what became of Chewy, as he was never seen or mentioned again.

Quotes[]

  • "Don't look at me!"
  • "Every day that goes by I become more grotesque."
  • "You taunt me! I'm a freak! I'll always be a freak!"

Facts of Doom[]

  • Chickenfoot was voiced by David Herman but, according to Eric Trueheart, they originally wanted Ricardo Montalbán to voice him, but he was unavailable at the time.
  • Chewy is defined as "needing to be crushed a lot with the teeth before it is swallowed"; this is fitting, seeing as he worked in a fast food restaurant and ironic as chickens don't have teeth.
  • Due to his surname, Chewy is implied to be Mexican.
    • Chewy’s name may be inspired by the nickname Chuy, which is used in Mexico, another indication that he’s Mexican.
  • He also appeared as a cameo in Nicktoons MLB.
  • Chickenfoot is meant to be an obvious parody of Bigfoot.
  • Dib said Chewy wasn’t a freak, just stupid. This may be partially correct, however the fact that he believed to be “cursed” may have taken a toll on Chewy’s mental health, and he was possibly mentally unstable.
  • It was said that Chewy smells bad, most likely because the chicken suit was never washed and he never took a bath after being “cursed”.
  • In Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, Chewie's Chickenfoot costume is seen in Dib's garage among the other items from his various adventures. Dib possibly took it to make sure no one else would get stuck in it and think that they're "cursed".
