The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is an American animated comedy horror television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. Set in the fictional town of Endsville, the series follows the titular two children named Billy and Mandy who, after winning a limbo game to save Billy's pet hamster, gain the mighty Grim Reaper as their "best friend forever".

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy takes place in the fictional town of Endsville and is known for its grimmer and unhinged surreal atmosphere. The series centers around the exploits of Billy (Richard Steven Horvitz), a dimwitted yet happy-go-lucky boy; his friend Mandy (Grey DeLisle), a deadpan, cynical, and cold-hearted girl; and their best-friend-by-obligation Grim (Greg Eagles), a begrudging Jamaican-accented Reaper who is reluctant to serve the two children. After Billy and Mandy cheated at a limbo match against Grim to save Billy's pet hamster (in retaliation for putting the limbo rod too low for them to go under), he is enslaved in an unwanted permanent friendship with the children. Grim is miserable in the first days of his servitude, at times taking pleasure at the fantasy of killing them. However, he gradually adapts to the new life and even grows to care for Billy and Mandy, if only somewhat. Despite this, he desires to break free from his servitude.
