Michael Jared Connelly, is a main character in the show School Daze. He is the cousin of Tom Connelly. He would invite Tom and his friends to his house every weekend to play Video Games. He lives in Milford with his father, Jerry. He always carries a puppet around named Mr. Ed. Whenever he talked to Mr. Ed, someone would say “I really hate that puppet”. He was originally hired by Mr. Krabs, along with Ronny, who disappeared after “Michael the Explorer”, to replace Mordecai and Rigby.
Personality[]
Michael is a very cool person. He is skilled at video games and has a YouTube channel called “SouthParkYoutuber45”. He can do impressions on all of the characters from South Park. Michael uses a puppet named Mr. Ed in every episode he appears in, except for his debut in the Adventure Sponge episode “Spooky Halloween Mystery”. However, Mr. Ed makes his debut in “Dinner with Michael and Ronny”. When asked why he didn’t bring him to the Halloween Party, he responds by saying: “Oh, that’s because I didn’t want people to think I’m weird”. However, after that, he began taking Mr. Ed everywhere he goes, and doesn’t care what people think of this habit. He could even care less about the disappoval of his own friends and family. This caused him to get bulied in Elementary School, but he was oblivious to it. In the Heroes United Arc, he revealed that Mr. Ed was a gift from his late Aunt Annabelle. In Wazzup w/ B-MO, he reveals that he is Tom’s Cousin. Michael would often record himself playing games with Tom and his friends, with a buttload of commentary. Michael is very kind and caring towards his cousins and friends, and usually gave Tom and co. advice on how to deal with problems at school. Another example of his kidness was around the time he first met Ronny, as he didn’t abuse him for his pranks like everyone else did, and even helped him get back at his bullies. He has also showed remorse for neglecting Ronny for 5 years(though this was because he thought Ronny was killed in a plane crash in 2015), fixing their friendship. He also acts in a very formal manner towards his parents, often referring to them as “Mother” and “Father”.
