| Name | Mr. Elliot |
| Species | Human |
| First Appearance | The Nightmare Begins |
| Voice Actor(s) | S. Scott Bullock |
Mr. Elliot is Gaz's Skool teacher, and possibly the only adult working at the Skool who isn’t harsh to his students, preferring to be a positive influence on the skoolchildren.
He was first seen in “Parent Teacher Night”, when he he met Professor Membrane, mistaking the floating screen that broadcasts a live feed for a “floating head” and then later claimed to Dib and Gaz that his own father was like the Professor (presumably meaning that he was never around, not because he was a brilliant scientist), it was also revealed that he was also one of Ms. Bitters' former students and that unsurprisingly in her eyes, she viewed him as a failure. In spite of all this, he maintains a positive outlook on life and is a very kind person.
In the same episode, he only interacted with Zim a few times during the cafeteria event.
He made a cameo on “Tak: The Hideous New Girl” as he witnessed Tak’s plan to pump out the Earth’s molten core but he clearly did not seem to understand what was happening (at least until the very moment that the Earth began to lose its molten core).
He was briefly seen in "Gaz, Taster of Pork". explaining this endlessly optimistic disposition to his class until he was interrupted by Gaz as she was trying to find something to eat that didn’t “taste like pig intestines” Mr. Elliot tells her of the "no eating in class" rule, but she informs him that she is under a porcine curse thanks to the Spelldrive that Dib used on her.
He was going to have a major role in the episode "Simon Says Doom", but since the episode was never finished, he has only made cameo appearances. In said episode's closing scene it's revealed that while Mr. Elliot is very sweet and may initially seem like a pushover, he can get firm from time to time (but not too harsh; his command for Dib to take care of the mess is delivered in a very paternal tone).
Facts of Doom.[]
- Mr. Elliot is voiced by S. Scott Bullock, who also voices Dash Baxter on Danny Phantom (which was also cancelled).
- It is unknown what skool subject he actually teaches.
- Mr. Elliot is known for being perpetually happy, or at least as optimistic as he can be in this crazy world, similar to Mr. Simmons in Hey Arnold!.
- In one episode, he moonlights as an actor in TV commercials, suggesting he doesn't make enough money as a teacher, which isn’t surprising given that the Skool has constant budget cuts.
- He is one of the more positive, sweet, loving characters in the series, next to Keef and Mr. Dwicky, as well as possibly one of the most sane characters in the series.
- Mr. Elliot was seen with Spoo in "Parent Teacher Night", implying that they're father and son, Spoo however looks nothing like his father, suggesting he got his looks from his mother.
