Clyde McBride

Personality:   Clyde is awkward, caring, nerdy, sweet and supportive at the same time. Lincoln can always count on Clyde to help him with a plan. Like Lincoln, Clyde has a passion for comic books, video games and science fiction movies. He’s also a cat lover and owns two cats that he loves very much, even though his oldest cat Cleopawtra always misbehaves. Clyde is quite intelligent beyond his years. He knows how to do taxes and about table manners and knows how to take care of babies because he learned about it from magazines in Dr. Lopez's waiting room. Besides, he seems mildly rich through his parents, given his nice house and lifestyle. He’s socially inept, but ultimately a very friendly and kind person. Clyde is patient and enjoys the company of all of Lincoln's sisters since he gets lonely with being an only child. Clyde is very neurotic, cowardly, cautious and worrisome. He has asthma, which requires him and his dads to carry an inhaler everywhere. According to his parents, he can’t consume meals with too much sugar or orange juice with pulp. Clyde is allergic to certain kinds of nuts, but not peanuts, however, his dads are afraid he might later develop a peanut allergy. He’s also sensitive to gluten (possibly non-celiac gluten sensitivity). He’s acrophobic, and can show severe signs of altitude sickness because of it. Clyde often panics and overreacts; when he does, he hyperventilates into a paper bag that he carries with him at all times. Clyde is a huge fan of Blarney, the show's version of Barney the Dinosaur. He knows all of Blarney's songs by heart. He also owns many stuffed animals that keep him company. Clyde has his laptop and a white noise machine in his room. He has a baseball trophy, possibly passed down from Harold (who used to be a baseball player). He also possesses both a humidifier and a de-humidifier. A running gag in the show's first three seasons was Clyde's former unhealthy and obsessive crush on Lori. Seeing, hearing or even thinking about her caused him to freak out, bleed profusely through his nose and act like a malfunctioning robot in some cases. He occasionally fainted as well. In his closet, Clyde had a shrine filled with candid pictures of Lori and treasures things she gave him or touched or he stole from her. Clyde also sent Lori gifts, but Lori stored Clyde's gifts in a box. Sometimes, Clyde tried to sabotage Lori and Bobby's dates, but always failed and ended up making their love stronger. In the third season, this gag came up a lot less frequently, ultimately ending after "Absent Minded". Clyde has finally managed to keep his excessive behaviors around Lori under control thanks to Leni's lessons. Despite this, Clyde still feels something for Lori, only that he doesn’t prove it and does it now in a less obsessive way than in the past. After the third season, Clyde's crush on Lori has disappeared for good, as he has since had crushes on Stella in her introductory episode, and on Emma and later Chloe in "Brave the Last Dance". Meanwhile, Clyde and Lori have become good friends.
