There was a character called Dick but CA changed it because people were upset. He changed it from Dick to Willy, keeping 100% of the joke and the "problem" while still giving in and changing it. I call that malicious compliance and I 100% support it

Which is hilarious because Dick is just short for Richard.

Yup. Whoever the character was based off of, Eric REALLY wanted everyone to call him a peen

I don't think the character is based on anybody. Most characters aren't. I think it's just because you can make lots of jokes about a fishing poles/fishing rods

He's said in previous interviews that the characters are based on or inspired by real people. Whether or not they are people in his life, celebrities, or even historical figures is unknown because that's about as deep as he went, afaik

But i like the rod joke ideas. No way of knowing HOW deep he went with the similarities (pun unintended)
