The Applebees are a family that adopts Duchess in "Duchess of Wails". However, they later turn out to be Mac's next-door neighbors, and Duchess' loud and incessant complaining about her new living conditions start to get on the nerves of Mac and his family.
Character[]
The Applebees are a family of three: a mother, a father, and their 9-year-old daughter. They also have a dog named Mr. Woof-Woof. The Applebees never seem to be upset or annoyed by anything. This is shown when Mac and Bloo vandalized their apartment, left toilet paper all over the place, and ruined the cake that Mrs. Applebee made, in order to make them think that Duchess did it and would therefore unadopt her. Mr. Applebee stated that the extra toilet paper would save them a trip to the store and that it was "pre-unrolled." Mrs. Applebee was delighted at the sight of her ruined cake, stating that ruining it was helping her stick to her diet. They even mistook all the vandalism done to their apartment as "redecorating". They also laugh off Duchess' insults when they go to Foster's to adopt her.
Mr and Mrs Applebee appeared again in "Infernal Slumber". Mr Applebee goes outside to investigate the noise of Goo throwing Coco's eggs at their apartment door (thinking it's Mac's door) but Goo accidentally throws an egg at him, knocking him unconscious. Mrs Applebee thanks her, claiming her husband had been suffering from insomnia.
