Biography
The Poopsmith (whose name is "The Poopsmith" with the definite article) is just a regular guy with a very crappy job. Literally. It is unclear exactly what his job really is, but it has something to do with using his shovel (apparently the only shovel in Free Country, USA) to poke around at a load of whatsit. Also, due to the nature of this job, Strong Bad has said that the Poopsmith's tolerance for pain "has gotta be through the roof". Although he never seems to transfer poop between his gloves and the shovel, his gloves are always soiled. This inherent filth tends to keep him out of most social circles, though he seems to be well respected by the other characters. He has been in the employ of The King of Town for a while, and he does not talk, nor make a noise, as he has taken a vow of silence. Sometimes, however he will hold up a sign in lieu of speaking. It seems, that his job also includes making biscuit dough, as seen in Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture; in his Old-Timey incarnation as The Demon, the pitchfork motion is very similar. He plays the cymbals for the K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band, seen in Fall Float Parade.

'Cause it's about to be worth a lot less. No for real. The Poopsmith is a good guy. He just got a crappy job.
Speech
The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and therefore doesn't speak, with only a few exceptions:
- In the storyboards for The King of Town DVD, the Poopsmith says "Nope", but this didn't make it into the toon.
- In Pumpkin Carve-nival he hissed at Strong Bad (who was disguised as Homestar) and The Cheat.
- In different town, one of the things Strong Bad wanted to change was the Poopsmith's refusal to speak. The Poopsmith said "Hello!" in this fantasy.
- In highschool Strong Bad imagines The Poopsmith (then The Diapersmith) blowing a raspberry at baby Strong Sad.
