Elmer the Boil Kid is a character from The Fairly Odd Parents, once aptly described as one of Timmy Turner's "backup friends," along with Sanjay. He once introduces his large, ugly boil as being named "Bob;" in another episode where Timmy can hear people's minds, he hears the boil speaking in a voice that is sounds like the stereotypical supervillain (also notable is its desire to take over the world). He is a member of their school's Future Phlegmers of the World club.
