Barry Scott

Barrington "Barry" Neil Scott was a Professional Cleaning Spokesperson and recurring character in the Waldoverse.

Barry Scott, renowned for his iconic catchphrase “Bang! And the dirt is gone!”, was a beloved television personality in the 2000s as the spokesman for Cillit Bang cleaning products. His dynamic and engaging presence made him a household name across Britain. However, by the late 2010s, like many a middle aged white man, he was replaced in advertisements by a younger, more diverse spokesmodel.

Around 2020, Barry Scott found himself transported to the Waldoverse, where he became a recurring character. Despite his past fame, his role in this new realm was diminished and one-dimensional. Consigned to a life of promoting Cillit Bang and cleaning up messes—ranging from minor spills to gruesome aftermaths of violent events—he struggled to assert his former charisma. His relentless promotion of Cillit Bang in the Waldoverse became a running joke, as he found himself often ignored or dismissed by other characters.

In 2023, Barry Scott displayed unexpected resolve by running for mayor of Widdlington, challenging the controversial goblin lawyer, Harris Travers. In a surprising turn of events, Scott performed impressively in a live debate, where Travers had a notable meltdown. Despite initial skepticism about his chances, Scott's candidacy gained significant attention.

Tragically, his newfound assertiveness was cut short when he was shot and killed by a skunkbreed assassin outside the town hall shortly after the debate. The assassination, suspected to be linked to the notorious Alt Front group of skunkbreed nationalists, remains unsolved.

Barry Scott's journey from a television icon to a beleaguered figure in the Waldoverse highlights both the impact of media personas and the unpredictable nature of fictional realms. His final act of running for mayor, despite overwhelming odds, cemented his place in the annals of Waldoverse history as a symbol of resilience and perseverance against adversity.
