Species Unknown

Affliation The Resisty
First Appearance Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars
Voice Actor(s) Rodger Bumpass


Spleenk is a member of the Resisty. His species' homeworld has presumably been conquered by the Irken Empire. He has four arms, two fingers on each hand, and has a large purplish-grey spot on his forehead. It is unknown if all members of his species have this spot. He makes his debut in "Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars".

Spleenk is full of horrible ideas, and is possibly third in command. Lard Nar usually listens to his ideas, and ends up regretting it. Spleenk is the one who came up with the name "the Resisty". He also decided to attack the Massive, which almost gets them all killed.

He, like Shloonktapooxis, another Resisty member (and possibly second in command), is extremely unintelligent, which begs the question how he escaped his home world, let alone joined the Resisty and became such an influential member that Lard Nar listens to his horrible ideas.

He apparently has a seizure when he realizes that the Resisty's ship is going to collide with planet Earth.

Spleenk is one of the few Resisty members whose name is known.

Facts of Doom[]

  • Spleenk acknowledges his ideas are terrible but doesn't know why Lard Nar listens to them.
  • Spleenk is voiced by Rodger Bumpass, who ironically also does the voice of the anti-paranormal scientist Professor Membrane. In contrast of the two characters, Spleenk is an incredibly stupid alien while Professor Membrane is a very smart human.
    • Spleenk's voice bears a resemblance to that of Squidward Tentacles, a character from another Nicktoon SpongeBob SquarePants, who is also voiced by Bumpass.
  • Despite Spleenk being one of the most well known members of the Resisty, he does not appear alongside Lard Nar and Shloonktapooxis in the final issue as part of the montage of people being caught up in the time loop.
