Biography[]
Early Life[]
Parker's birthday was sometime in 1991 according to a episode, though he is a year younger than Josh.
As seen in "Model Employee," Parker became friends with Josh after they've met in a sandbox on a playground when they're little. They've had each other and been in a team effort duo as long as they were little as kids.
Since then, they've shown to get along pretty well. That is except for some ups and downs through their time as being friends. At a young age, as shown in "Hamish," they've shared some common interests alike as the Star Raiders movie franchise. Then they've occasionally been through some arguments along the way, such as Parker's stench in "Buffalo Burrito" and more throughout the series, and that, they later make up the arguments and improve as friends overall.
The Mr. Meaty Job[]
But, how did they got their job at the Mr. Meaty food chain? Simple, In "Original Sin," they first got the jobs that allow them to make money for a living. They've met Mr. Wink, and these new employees don't have symphony for their new positions. They've didn't do what they correctly paid to do, not until Josh and Parker found a cryogenic storage device in the freezer where the founder, Edward R. Carney currently resides until they thawed him out.
After they thawed him out, Carney got up, and suddenly, Mr. Wink reminds him of Winkle Meyer the 1st. Mr. Wink informed Carney that it was his great-great-great-grandfather and mentioned he's the 6th of his family. Since Carney was sleeping after 100+ years, Mr. Wink and his family turned Mr. Meaty into the 9th largest food franchise in the world.

He got forced to work for Mr. Carney under a contract his great-great-great-grandfather (Winkle Meyer the 1st) signed ("My firstborn son!?").

Personality[]
Parker is slightly clueless, unsanitary, easily distracted, and a slight coward, as well as a geek about sci-fi movies such as the Star Raider movie franchise. Unlike Josh, he is more opposite of him and quite fond of his job, while Josh hates it. Of the duo of these two main characters, Parker is a little bit crazier, socially awkward, and weirdly optimistic. Parker can be like that, while Josh doesn't have many characteristics as Parker got. Josh is more like a straight man, staying sane and a little bit detached, and has an intrinsic way of despising his cashier job, and to that, he tries to be cool by impressing the girls he likes, but he always seems to fail or make himself look like a loser in front of them.
This duo is unusual because of their interests and personalities themselves. They are very different than one another but have some hobbies such as Star Raiders, making horror movies where they can connect, and they make it work in a way where they can still be friends throughout their lives, and to that, it shows how unusual they are. Josh often puts up Parker's weirdness by throwing his problems to Parker so Parker can do it for him and other situations as well. If not, then he can take a break of his own. With Parker's weirdness, this teenager often hauls trash and is behind the kitchen almost anything not far off in their work at Mr. Meaty. He has gross habits where he frequently drives the girls away with his uncontrollable farting problems, much to the vast frustration of Josh, who spends way too much time talking to girls, hoping to get their phone number to get his one true girlfriend. Because of this, Parker can be considered Josh's foil. One day, Parker hopes to talk to a girl without sounding like a complete idiot.
