I.M. Slime is the secondary antagonist of Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. She is Cousin Mel's lawyer and criminal accomplice. She was voiced by Kathleen Barr.
What makes her a Hate Sink?[]
- She is meant to be a parody of evil lawyers, and a representation of lawyers who will do amoral things for money. Like Mel, she is greedy and willing to commit crimes for money. Her very name is a pun on this, sounding like "I am slime", to drive in the point that she is not a good person.
- She takes Grandma to Mel's secluded cabin in the woods, causing Grandma to go missing again right after Jake brings her back.
- She aides Mel in her scheme to sue Santa for his money, having him thrown in prison and ruining Christmas so the two of them can get rich.
- When Jake proves that Santa wasn't at fault for hitting Grandma and Santa's cleared of the charge of causing Grandma's disappearance, I.M. Slime reminds the prosecutor that there are still the charges of reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. This shows how petty and desperate she is for her and Mel to get their money.
- Her criminal culpability in Mel's actions is never proven in court, meaning she never explicitly faces any punishment for her role in almost ruining Christmas and, unlike Mel, is a karma Houdini.
- Overall, she is a greedy, amoral, petty lawyer who helps nearly ruin Christmas, goes as far as she can to try and have Santa convicted of something so she and Mel can get whatever money they can, and faces no punishment for her actions.
