“ | Who here is responsible for the first frame gutterball? | „ |
~ The Bowling Pins asking who scored the gutterball as they emerged from the televisions. |
“ | Oooh! You have unleashed a curse that will be sure to doom all those in the bowling alley! We are here to turn all of you into our kind! Taking you all back to our Bowling Hell, where we will live for eternity! Ha ha ha! Unless you bowl 220... or higher... | „ |
~ The Bowling Pins telling Melvin that he unleashed a curse due to his gutterball and revealing their plan to send everyone in Bowling Hell, unless Melvin scores 220 points or higher. |
The Bowling Pins are the former secondary antagonists of the Melvin's Macabre video GUTTERBALL. They are a group of sentient bowling pins that live in a place within the bowling alley's scoring televisions called Bowling Hell.
After Melvin rolls his bowling ball inside the gutter lane due to Robbie reprimanding him, they emerge from the televisions and zaps several bowling players into Bowling Hell, challenging Melvin to score a 220 so the people would be saved, which he successfully does.
Appearance[]
The Bowling Pins are CGI-modeled, sentient bowling pins with faces on them. They also have red eyes.
Personality[]
The Bowling Pins are sadistic, as they gleefully challenge Melvin to score a 220 or higher in a game of bowling and use his failure to kidnap people and imprison them in their bowling hell, all while laughing in his face about it.
However, some of the Bowling Pins have honorable standards, as when they detect Melvin using a sentient bowling ball to assist him in scoring strikes, one of the pins states it's not against their rules, before the leader pin takes the rules into their own hands and crushes it anyways.
They fully reform in the end where after Melvin does win the challenge, the Bowling Pins are willing to release everyone they imprisoned and decide to punish Robbie for starting the whole fiasco by Melvin's request.
Biography[]
After Melvin scored a gutterball due to Robbie hitting him, the Bowling Pins emerge from the scoring animation televisions and asks who scored a first frame gutterball, with Melvin getting the blame for it by Robbie. They then inform Melvin that the gutterball had triggered a curse that would soon doom everyone inside the bowling alley and that they are here to turn everybody into their kind. They then menacingly challenge Melvin to score a 220 or higher so the curse would be broken.
Melvin tells them that he had never hit a bowling pin before and that his father Jim was good at it, unlike him, but they don't want to hear anything about it and ask if he is refusing to take on the challenge, which if he does, he and everybody in the bowling alley would be sent to Bowling Hell. Having no choice due to the life of many people being in danger, he accepts the challenge, which pleases the pins who immediately start a game, laughing maniacally.
Due to his poor bowling skills, Melvin scores a gutterball again which makes the bowling pins laugh and mock him for his failure. As punishment, they zap a player into Bowling Hell as they then warn Melvin that every time he scores a gutterball, a soul will be taken to Bowling Hell. Melvin attempts to score a strike, but one of the Bowling Pins laugh at his face, making him lose his focus as he lets the ball roll into the gutter lane once more, causing people to get angry and throw junk at Melvin, shaming him for not even hitting a single pin, as they send another person in Bowling Hell thanks to Robbie's assistance.
Fortunately, thanks to a sentient bowling ball, Melvin manages to score a spare, much to the annoyance of the Bowling Pins, thinking that he was just being lucky. They order him to keep bowling, which he does. But after Melvin scores eight spares in a row, the pins find out that the bowling ball is sentient, with Robbie asking if it's even legal. They grab the bowling ball and berates him for betraying their kind, although one of them mentions that the ball is technically not breaking the rules as it is the right size and weight, but as it is sentient, they have it crushed by their own hands, killing it, which leaves Melvin with nothing else to help him, much to the people's protests against Robbie, as he is no longer able to do bowling.
However, Melvin decides to use Jim's bowling ball and successfully manages to hit the two remaining pins, which results in him scoring the amount of points he needed to win the challenge. As promised, the Bowling Pins free the people they captured and were about to leave, only for Melvin to ask them one more favor, which is giving Robbie a punishment for all the bullying he had done to him. They accept the favor and turn against Robbie, who has a breakdown over the fact he scored a 223 and not a 220, complaining that the curse is now broken. As Robbie curses Melvin's father, the Bowling Pins zap him inside the television of Bowling Hell, where Robbie would meet his karmic demise after Melvin scores one final spare, triggering an animation of a nuclear explosion that obliterates Robbie, killing him.
