"Wash your hands, you dirty pig!"

Who would have thought this one line would grow to be so popular and even become an anthem of the pandemic? That's Eric Effiong for you, always one step ahead of the curve.

A character as flamboyant as this could have been handled poorly in any other show, but in Sex Ed, he's the life and soul of the party. Eric is undoubtedly the most colourful character in Moordale, not only because of his wardrobe but also his boisterous/infectious personality. He's over-the-top, eye-catching and exudes confidence which makes you want to become friends with him yourself.

However, he also provides an eye into some intense and emotional moments. Some of the show's best scenes have relied on his trauma at the hands of bigots, his relationship with Adam and the tough decisions he's had to make. This means he's more than just a fun figure; he's also an essential part of the drama.

He's easy to love, full of spirit and one of the show's most important characters.
