Personality[]

Joe is a homeless hermit crab who is slightly insane, plays with his puppets, and has horrible hygiene. He sleeps in dumpsters all over the South Side Reef. He is friends with Oscar, and is obsessed with being his financial advisor. Joe also has two sock puppets which he pulls out constantly to save face when embarrassed in public. He also watches the Benny Hill Show in his shell.

Crazy Joe has a crazy attitude. But he is very hilarious and random which is confusing to Oscar and others. He also pulls out his puppets to kiss each other in front of Angie and Oscar, much to Oscar's embarrassment.

Appearances[]

Shark Tale[]

Crazy Joe first appears in the film when Oscar is fantasizing about living in an expensive penthouse painted on a billboard. Joe begs to be his financial advisor, and when Oscar explains he was pretending, Joe looks confused and says, "You...live in a billboard? And they call me crazy!" He then opens an umbrella with tons of holes and floats away, laughing.

He appears again in the Whale Wash when Oscar lies about killing Frankie and announces, "And I'm his financial advisor!" When everyone just stares, he quickly pulls out his puppets to save face. Joe later shows up when Oscar is trying to admit his feelings for Angie and again uses the puppets, this time to encourage them to kiss, much to Oscar's embarrassment, but Angie quickly shrugs it off and kisses him. He shows up again when Lola goes looking for Oscar and shouts, "Did somebody say CRAZY?!"

Joe later interacts with the end credits with some priceless ramblings as they roll.
