 Mimi's Troll Dolls - Mimi
Bobeck, the cosmetically challenged department store
secretary on THE DREW CAREY SHOW/ABC/1995-2004 loves Troll dolls. At
work, Mimi showcased a veritable army of troll dolls on her desk and
work area at Winfred Louder.
During one particular episode, Drew Carey, Mimi's nemesis (whom
she calls "Pig!") sabotaged the heads of Mimi's troll dolls to
explode on cue (09/18/96 "We'll Remember Always, Evaluation Day").
On another episode, Drew meets a woman on a chat line. But when
his online paramour (known only at honeybee28@PeopleNet.com) mentions
that she collects troll dolls (she typed ”I can’t believe I did that
in front of my troll dolls”) Drew realizes his mistake too late (they
already engaged in Internet sex) and quickly runs to the bathroom shower
to cleanse his body of the shame and degradation (10/21/1998 "Sexual
Perversity in Cleveland").
If Mimi wants to wish for good luck, she compulsively pats the
heads of her troll dolls in a particular order. If she messes up the
sequence, she must redo the whole ritual to obtain the desired good
luck.
When Mimi took charge of the store while her boss Mr. Wick was
ill, she tried to replace all the store mannequins with giant troll
dolls.

TRIVIA NOTE:
Claudia "Claude" Casey (Sara Rue), the perky redhead assistant to
news anchor Will Butler, a GBN Television Network executive on LESS
THAN PERFECT/ABC/2002-2006 also likes troll dolls. She, too, pats
their heads for good luck.
