Short BiographyClayton Deborah Susan Forrester is a fictional character in the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000. He is portrayed as a typical "mad scientist". Growing up, he was part of the evil version of Cub Scouts, Evilos. Forrester's high school career was typified by a series of humiliations, presumably contributing to his rather deranged personality. Frequently teased by classmates, he received a "shameful expulsion" from the Chess Club, suffered a "shameful shower incident" during his sophomore year, got rejected by the Swing Choir, was frequently victimized by book-dumpings after typing class, was forced to do power sit-ups in gym, and received "the revulsion, scorn, and rejection of all the pretty girls." At some point, he was struck by lightning, resulting in the white streak in his hair and mustache. While earning his doctorate, Forrester took some undergraduate courses in Super-Villainry, and at some point he joined the Fraternal Order of Mad Science. He was a frequent attendee of the Mad Scientist Convention, although he lost the convention's invention contest each year (on one occasion his entry, "the More Painful Mouse Trap," was met only with laughter). In response to his rejections, he has blown up the convention center twice and once used incendiaries to not "actually make the building blow up, it just made it burn...really quickly." After completing his doctorate, he obtained work at the prestigious Gizmonic Institute. At GI, he conducted experiments in sensory deprivation on an ordinary Joe(l). However, Joel escaped, and so Dr. F experimented on GI's handyman, Mike.
Major DiscoveryWhile working at Gizmonic Institute, Forrester and his assistant sent Joel (and later Mike) cheesy movies which he was forced to watch, in order to find a movie that would drive people mad and allow him to take over the world. In response, Joel built several robot friends to keep him company, and keep himself from being driven mad. During Joel's time on MST3K, Forrester participated in Invention Exchanges with Joel and the 'bots. Some of Dr. F's more interesting inventions include:
- the Limb Lengthener
- Deep 13 Sweet toothpaste, which creates cavities
- Johnny Longtorso, an action figure whose body parts are each sold separately
- Unhappy Meals, fast food meals that contain unfortunate surprises.
- the Re-Comfy Bike
- Beanbag pants, perfect for lounging at a discussion salon
- the Self-Image Printers that reveal a person's true persona
