Party Tubeguy, also known as PTG, is a recurring character in the surreal and often unsettling animated series, Other, created by David Lynch and composed by Chrystabell. His true name is never revealed.

PTG is depicted as a large, inflatable tube man, similar to those often used in advertising. He is primarily orange and yellow and exists within the mysterious and enigmatic world of Other. His speech is delivered in a distorted, heavily processed voice, adding to the overall atmosphere of unease and disorientation.

While his exact role and purpose remain ambiguous, Party Tubeguy often appears during moments of significant narrative shift or heightened emotional tension within the series. He seems to function as a kind of unsettling observer or perhaps even a harbinger of change or impending doom, though his motivations are never explicitly stated. He is more like a living prop than a central character.

His presence adds to the show's uncanny valley effect, contributing to its exploration of existential themes and the anxieties of modern life. Like much of Lynch's work, interpretation is left largely to the viewer.
