Thaddeus "Phlegm" Bile is a supporting character in Disney•Pixar's 2001 animated film Monsters, Inc. and other related media. He is a trainee scarer and later a Laugh Floor jokester for the Monsters, Inc. company. He is notably the first monster to appear in the film.
Thaddeus Bile, or Phlegm to his friends, is a rather inept individual. While he takes his job seriously, he is not very good at it. Everyone is apparently forgiving of his shortcomings and is aware of his lack of ability to scare. He seems more inclined to be funny than scary. This is made apparent when the company switches from scream power to laugh power as he is shown to be much more accepting of this. He is very eager to be friendly with children, especially infants who are more prone to laugh at his jokes, or rather pratfalls.
Thaddeus is large, tubby and blue. He has stumpy feet with black toes and four purple, spindly, tentacle arms with four fingers on each of them and suction cups underneath. He has a tail which has a small mace-like ball at the end of it and has several soft spikes on his head that are capable of becoming sharp, though he rarely shows this. He has a mouth and two eyes and eyebrows, but lacks a nose.
When first shown at the very beginning of the film, Thaddeus struggled with his test simulations, leaving a door open and utterly screwing up on his attempt to frighten the mechanical child. He tripped over things, such as a soccer ball and skateboard, before landing painfully on a pile of Knucklebones 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, Thaddeus screwed up on yet another attempt to frighten the mechanical boy, instead of lulling him to sleep, much to Mr. Waternoose's frustration. Thaddeus 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.
During the event of Monsters At Work, he becomes a Jokester and is very adept at his new job. His signature way of making children laugh is tripping on sharp objects and screaming in pain.
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.
He also appeared in Mike Wazowski's company play "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From or So Help Me", portraying the Sushi Chef during the restaurant scene, as well as singing with the rest of the cast at the play's finale.
Thaddeus appears in the opening of "The Damaged Room", trying to make his human infant giggle. While he succeeds, he has a cold and sneezes on the wall, creating a hole with his acid mucus. He informs his assistant María and they call in MIFT for a "418" (aka damaged room).
In the Playstation 2 game at the start of level 1, Sulley is introduced to Thaddeus Bile by Mr. Waternoose, Thaddeus Bile wants to show off his scare but realizes he forgot his manual and left it at Mr. Waternoose's office. Sulley decides to sneak around the factory and gets the manual but then Thaddeus realizes he forgot his key card, Sulley decides to sneak into Mr. Waternoose's office and successfully retrieves Thaddeus key card, but then it is time for him to go home.
Thaddeus tries to unleash his scariness...
...but the deafening sound of the mechanical child screaming at him freaks him out.
Mr. Bile left the door open.
