Marvin "Bert" Finklehimer is a recurring character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is an elderly man who is occasionally seen around Elmore.

Appearance

Marvin Finklehimer is a short, round, and red bean-like figure. He wears a small brown hat and walks with a cane. He has only three teeth and overly large eyes with brown pupils. Because of his old age, Marvin’s face is very wrinkly, and his limbs are shaky and flimsy.

Personality

Marvin is usually seen with the rest of his friends, the senior citizens. He seems to be quite energetic for an old man, as he is seen teasing Anais with a biscuit in "The Responsible." However, he is also quite frail at other times, as most elderly people are. He can also be quite stubborn, as shown in "The Watch."

Marvin, being a senior citizen, suffers from a lack of attention from younger generations due to the age of technology. This is evident in "The Intelligence," where he describes technology preventing younger generations from listening to the stories of elders, and subsequently tries to prevent Gumball and Darwin from escaping to find the Internet.

Marvin is quite flirtatious, as he goes on a date with the hexagon lady in "The Watch" and flirts with her in "The Tag." He also offers to go on a date with Karen in "The Butterfly" despite acting frail and weak mere seconds before.
