Mr. Higglesworth is the 2nd-period Math teacher at Elliot's high school in the series.

He despises Elliot and his friends, especially Brandon.
Appearance[]
Mr. Higglesworth is an old guy with major issues. He is called bald by Brandon, but Elliot corrects him in saying he's balding. He wears a white lab coat and a trashy pair of jeans. He wears old man shoes and likes to hand out F's. He uses the character model for Dr. Isaac Kleiner from Half-Life 2.

Personality[]
Mr. Higglesworth is a mean-spirited and bad-mouthed teacher, who enjoys tormenting his pupils and making their year with him as difficult as possible. His likes are very sparse, including F's, s'mores, and his own cruel jokes. Among his many dislikes include teen culture, slackers, his colleagues, and pretty much anything having to do with Elliot. He is also incredibly insensitive, gleefully humiliating Elliot and calling him a furfag in front of his peers after he catches him drawing Theo, calling Xavior a geek, and repeatedly calling his students 'fagolas'.
Relationship towards the other characters[]
His relationship with other teachers appears to be neutral, as he seems to tolerate them enough to go on a camping trip with them. He does snap at Ms. Person for stealing his jokes and demanding marshmallows.
Brandon[]
It appeared to start out neutral; Mr. Higglesworth gave A's to Brandon as punishment and Brandon liked Mr. Higglesworth's sense of humor, although it changed after the first episode and he started treating him like his other students.
Elliot[]
He doesn't like Elliot since Elliot can draw and that he is a furry.
Jimbo[]
He showed immediate dislike towards Jimbo by giving him an F on a test he didn't take and making fun of him.
Elmer[]
He has barely interacted with Elmer, so the full extent of their relationship is unknown. However, Mr. Higglesworth seems to be intimidated by him, as he had a wide-eyed look of fear on his face when Elmer crept up on him while heavily breathing, then whispered his catchphrase "My name's Elmer" to him.
The Principal[]
He tends to call him a 'Jewbot' even when he was talking to him directly. Despite his hate for the Principal, he does show some indication of a good relationship since he was allowed to have an elite army and Mr. Higgles does follow his rule.
Crabcore Kid[]
He treats him very badly and doesn't understand his heavy metal talk, although considering his unkind and hostile nature, he may be pretending to not understand him to try and offend him.
Trivia[]
- Kitty0706 voices Mr. Higglesworth.
- He calls his students fagolas.
- He is referenced in the cancelled Half-Life/GMod Machinima series Gorgeous Freeman, at the 1:40 Point in Episode 1 - The Suit, where a TF2 Item description of Gordon's butt lists one of it's abilities as "100% Chance to seduce Dr. Higglesworth" referring to Dr. Isaac Kleiner, who he is portrayed by.
- He constantly gives F's to his students while simultaneously attacking them, usually by throwing something at them. According to a assumption by Elliot in Elliot Goes Camping, he may be abusing the grading policy.
- This running gag might be inspired by Mr. Crocker, the main antagonist of The Fairly Oddparents, who often gives out F's to his students, sometimes using ways that are physically harmful towards them, much like Mr. Higglesworth does.
- Apparently, he can read Elliot's mind.
- He is one of few characters who uses a generic model from Half Life 2.
- He is the only character who take drugs (so far) in the series.
- Warning: When disturbed, will attack.
- He may live next to Elliot's house.
