Trivia[]
- He was originally voiced by Jon Lovitz who also played the voice of Radio in the first installment of The Brave Little Toaster, but is currently voiced by Billy West, who also does the voices of Philip J. Fry, Doug Funnie, Roger Klotz and Ace Bunny. In a commercial, where he turned into a human after he made a wish, he was played by Danny DeVito, who also voiced The Lorax, Mr. Swackhammer and Phil.
- The other M&M's usually make fun of him because he is the shortest.
- Red can be described as the "main character" of the M&M's.
- Red M&M's have been around since the product began production in 1941, however, the character of Red would not appear until 1954. Accompined by the prototype version of Yellow, both characters lacked their personalities and colors, as the advert was aired in black and white. In 1957, Red and Yellow would gain their characteristic shapes. The first time Red would gain his cynical and sardonic nature would be in 1995 in the first CGI advert made for M&M's. After this, Red kept this personality and has changed little over the last 20 years.
