Bradley "Brad" Carbunkle is the secondary protagonist in My Life as a Teenage Robot. He is Jenny's best friend and next door neighbor.

Background

Appearance
Brad is a human adolescent male with apricot-colored skin, spikey orange hair, and dark-colored eyes. He usually wears a white dress shirt with a black vest over it, khaki pants, and black dress shoes.

Personality
Brad is known to be very adventurous, and enjoys tagging along when Jenny fights crime. He is also known to be a ladies' man and he tries to get other girls to like him; however, many of the girls he tries to flirt with reject him. Brad dislikes being on the sidelines. Brad is also observed on many occasions as being stubborn. In Unlicensed Flying Object, Brad portrays his more stubborn side of his personality by disregarding his safety having been told not to interfere with anything dangerous. He also has been observed as being slow or unperceptive, which sometimes annoys Jenny.

Jenny
Brad and Jenny met in the pilot It Came From Next Door. Brad and Jenny have a close friendship and spend a lot of time hanging out together, as well as occasionally teaming up to fight off villains, but neither of the two seem to display actual romantic feelings for each other. However, in the episode Ball and Chain, when Brad was about to marry Space Bikers member Tammy, Jenny broke into the wedding room and told Brad to think about it, then kissed him on the cheek before walking out, hinting that she might have feelings for him. However due to the series ending without an epilogue, it is unknown if Jenny and Brad ever develop a romantic relationship.

In a Q&A with Rob Renzetti, he clarified that he had no long-term plans for Jenny's love life, which he considered a minor part of the show anyway.

Tuck Carbunkle
Tuck is Brad's younger brother. Since they both have different personalities, they occasionally argue, and display typical sibling rivalry. Despite all this though, they do share a mutual brotherly love for each other. Even when Tuck is annoying most of the time, Brad cares about his younger brother very much, and tries to keep him safe from danger.

Nora Wakeman
Dr. Wakeman and Brad don't talk to each other often, but in the craziest times, are seen together. Dr. Wakeman always has to interrupt Jenny and Brad because Jenny has duties to save the town and its people.

Sheldon Lee
Sheldon and Brad are good friends. They often talk to each other in school, spend time together usually when Jenny is around, and go on crazy, wild, and occasionally dangerous adventures. Brad is kind to Sheldon and gives advice to him when he is in doubt.

Melody Locus
Melody was one of Brad's genuine love interests. Even though she is the robot daughter of an evil mad scientist, Dr. Locus, Brad still falls for her, seeing as she appeared as a pretty and perfect normal girl in her exo-skin. In Bradventure Melody helps Brad safely escape her father's lab with an injured Jenny. When Melody visits him again in No Harmony with Melody Brad decides to take Melody around his town as a date. Melody was the first girl in the series to be seen kissing Brad. Jenny, convinced that Melody was evil like her father, and up to no good with intentions to harm Brad, provokes Melody, causing her explode with rage and reveal her true hideous and monstrous robotic form. Realizing that everyone thought she was a monster, including Brad, Melody gives up, feeling that she will never belong. She flies away in tears, never to return. Brad was still quite sad about Melody's true identity in the end, as he had enjoyed being with her; but he eventually moves on, knowing they were not meant to be together.

The Cluster
Brad is always willing to help keep Jenny safe from and help fight against The Cluster's attacks, and dislikes them as Jenny does.

Queen Vexus
Brad seems to dislike Queen Vexus, and is afraid of her as well. However, when she was under disguised as "Vicky", Brad seemed to be a huge fan of her. He has a low opinion of her ever since Escape from Cluster Prime.

Brit and Tiff
Brit and Tiff are popular rich girls who only go for the popular guys; hence, they do not like Brad. Especially since they hate Jenny more than anyone, that makes them dislike Brad even more, seeing as Brad is Jenny's best friend.

The Space Bikers
When they first appeared in The Return of Raggedy Android Brad disliked the Space Bikers, seeing as they attacked all of his friends when they crashed Mezmer's, and gave him an atomic wedgie. His biggest problem with the Space Bikers occurred in, Ball and Chain where Brad is forced by the Space Bikers to marry one of their gang members, Tammy. In the end, Brad tried to break off the wedding, and is nearly eaten by Tammy (one of the traditions if the groom wants to break up the marriage, the wife eats him). Thankfully he is saved by Jenny, and does not have any more encounters with the Space Bikers.

Kiki
Kiki is Brad's ex-girlfriend. Due to the cancellation, we may never know more than we do already about who she is.
