Thaddeus Bile: The Clumsy Scarer

Thaddeus Bile: The Clumsy Scarer Starring: Jeff Pidgeon as Thaddeus Bile

Thaddeus Bile: The Clumsy Scarer is a short film about Thaddeus Bile, a trainee scarer who is clumsy and accident-prone. He struggles with his test simulations, leaving a door open and screwing up on his attempt to frighten the mechanical child. He tripped over things such as a soccer ball and a skateboard before landing painfully on a pile of jacks on his backside. He was accident-prone and a bit of a coward.

He is seen sitting in front of the Sushi Chef at Harryhausen's on the night Mike Wazowski takes his girlfriend Celia Mae to the restaurant for her birthday dinner.

Right before Sulley's scare demo, Bile screwed up on yet another attempt to frighten the mechanical boy, instead of lulling him to sleep, much to Mr. Waternoose's frustration. Bile claims he was going for a "snake/ninja approach, with a little hissing."

He is later seen near the entrance to the factory amongst the other monsters watching Mr. Waternoose get arrested by the CDA.

At the end of the film, he was shown returning to Laugh Floor F from a child's room after successfully making that child laugh, presumably by performing the accident he got in the simulation at the beginning of the movie as he was seen with jacks on his bottom.
