Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Lydia Karaoke

The resident network censor who sometimes objects to whatever antics the rest of the cast gets up to. Voiced by Nora Dunn.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Designated Villain: She's pretty much the closest the Histerians have to a recurring antagonist.
    • Butt Monkey: Sometimes, she gets the worst treatment out of all the characters (particularly when she gets blasted by torpedos and discovers the real reason why "Damn the torpedos" is an appropriate phrase, despite containing a word that's considered taboo on American children's TV). The treatment is justified as, in most of Steven Spielberg's cartoons, network censors (along with studio executives) are Acceptable Targets to mock and make into villains.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: The fact that she's the network censor doesn't stop her from occasionally taking part in the sketches.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Lydia Karaoke is voiced by Nora Dunn (a mid-1980s cast member of Saturday Night Live who was fired after season 15 [the 1989-1990 season] due to her boycotting an episode hosted by shock comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay)
  • Media Watchdog
  • Moral Guardians
  • Political Correctness Gone Mad
  • Think of the Censors: The rest of the cast doesn't, but her appearances on the show have much the same effect.

Molly Pitcher

Molly Pitcher was a woman who supposedly carried water to cannon crews during the American Revolutionary War.
