Here is a listing of the characters featured in the Warner Bros series Tiny Toon Adventures.

---

Buster Bunny

The male cohost of the show. Looney Tunes counterpart: Bugs Bunny. Voiced by Charlie Adler until Season 3, when John Kassir replaced him.

Tropes:

• Deadpan Snarker
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Ironically, in the first episode, he asks for clothes to please the censors, and yet still doesn't wear pants.
• The Hero
• Only Sane Man: Particularly evident whenever he's trying to direct a production with the other characters, which nearly drives him up the walls.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Blue Boy to Babs' Pink Girl (both literally, because of their fur color, and figuratively because of their personalities).
• Species Surname
• Straight Man
• You Gotta Have Blue Hare

Babs Bunny

The female cohost of the show. Looney Tunes counterpart: Bugs Bunny again (particularly the Bugs Bunny that dresses in drag to trick his enemies). (Note: To avoid confusion, Lola Bunny didn't exist when this show was on the air, so Babs is not modeled after that character which means Lola is possibly modeled after Babs.) Note that both Babs and Buster apply the Pink Girl, Blue Boy trope directly. Voiced by Tress MacNeille.

Tropes:

• Barefoot Cartoon Animal: "Don't I have the cutest toes?"
• Berserk Button/Do Not Call Me "Paul": Never ever call her by her real name, Barbara Ann Bunny.
• The Chick
• Deadpan Snarker: Even more than Buster.
  • Little Miss Snarker
• Ear Decorations: Her ear ribbons.
• Genki Girl: You've got to learn some self-control!
• In-Series Nickname: Babs.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Which is how she prefers it.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Pink Girl to Buster's Blue Boy.
• The Prankster
• Rose Furred Girl
• Species Surname: In spite of her and Buster having the same surname, the two of them always state "No relation" after introducing themselves.

Plucky Duck

Looney Tunes counterpart: Daffy Duck. Voiced by Joe Alaskey.

Tropes:

• Anti-Hero
• Attention Whore: Moreso than his mentor, Daffy Duck.
• Butt Monkey: Prone to getting hit by an Anvil on Head.
• Deadpan Snarker: Even more than Babs!
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal
• Interspecies Romance: With Shirley the Loon. In "The Return of Pluck Twacey", he also swoons over Hata Mari, the pigeon from "Plane Daffy".
• Jerkass: Although he has a few rare Jerk with a Heart of Gold moments.
• The Lancer
• Narcissist: In the first episode, he proves that he can play a lover by delivering a romantic overture to a hand mirror.
• Plucky Comic Relief: No, really.
• Sidekick: Hired as such to Buster and Babs, much to his humiliation.
• Species Surname
• Spinoff Babies: His baby-self starred in a few shorts, and became somewhat of an Ensemble Darkhorse in the memories of fans, to the point that he even cameoed once in Animaniacs.
• Toothy Bird

Ham(p)ton J. Pig

Looney Tunes counterpart: Porky Pig. Voiced by Don Messick.

• Beware the Nice Ones: He's very sweet-natured, and usually tries to avoid conflict, but DO NOT push him too far. Seriously. Just don't.
• Big Eater
• The Chew Toy
• Neat Freak
• Sidekick: When Plucky is hired as Buster and Bab's sidekick, he complains, "Hamton's a sidekick! He has all the earmarks of a sidekick!" and promptly pulls Hamton's ear to reveal the word "sidekick". Interestingly, Hamton ended up being Plucky's sidekick in a lot of the shorts, most notably the Batman parody, in which he plays "Decoy", Batduck's answer to Robin.
• Species Surname
• The Smart Guy
• Spell My Name with an "S": The correct spelling is "Hamton", though some fans still somehow hear a "p" in the middle.
  • It might also have to do with the fact that Hamton's name was actually misspelled in one of the show's credits as Hampton.
• The Straight Man: The trope title is actually used when he applied to join the cast because "I react to characters funnier than I am."

Dizzy Devil

Looney Tunes counterpart: The Tasmanian Devil. Voiced by Maurice LaMarche.

• Big Eater
• The Big Guy
• Characterization Marches On: In the pilot, he's actually introduced as an antagonistic character. He eventually grows into the more friendly party animal that he's better known as.
• Chick Magnet: When he's not acting like his adult counterpart, Dizzy is usually in the company of hot, human teenage girls who are crazy about him.
• Extreme Omnivore: To the point where the male characters often play a game with Dizzy called "Will Dizzy Eat It?"
• Kavorka Man
• Mismatched Eyes

Montana Max

Looney Tunes counterpart: Yosemite Sam. Voiced by Danny Cooksey

Tropes:

• Big Bad Ensemble: With Elmyra.
• Evil Laugh
• Even Evil Has Standards: He's one of the most well-known villainous behavior, but even he can't stand Elmyra Duff.
• Jerkass
• No Indoor Voice: Full-fledged at first, but fizzled off a bit as time went on.
• Rich Bastard
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money
• Vocal Evolution: Having been voiced by an actual child (Danny Cooksey was prepubescent at the time he voiced Montana Max), Max's voice got a little deeper in the later episodes.

Elmyra Duff

Looney Tunes counterpart: Elmer Fudd. Voiced by Cree Summer.

Tropes:

• And Call Him George
• Big Bad Ensemble: With Montanna Max.
• Cloudcuckoolander
• Genki Girl
• Implacable Girl
• Karma Houdini
• Obliviously Evil: She has no idea that showing her affection to animals, often kill them.
• Too Dumb to Live mo
• Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: In "Take Elmyra, Please", George and Lennard are both driven crazy by her. To the point, they informed the police on the reason why they pulled off the deed.
  • A Day in the Limelight

Fifi la Fume

Looney Tunes counterpart: Pepe Le Pew. Voiced by Kath Soucie.

Tropes:

• Abhorrent Admirer: Though, much like her Spear Counterpart (Pepe), it's only her smell that is abhorrent. She's not like the typical female Abhorrent Admirer, who's Hollywood Homely, Hollywood Pudgy (or even real-world pudgy), or obsessed with her object of desire to the point that she will hurt or kill him if he ever rejected her.
• Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: The three lead cheerleaders, Babs, Shirley and Fifi, represent three different aspects: Babs Bunny is implied to be fully dressed (many times we see up her dress and half the time she's not) but goes without shoes. Shirley wears a hairbow and pink sweater but no pants. Fifi, for the most part, wears just a hairbow; there will be times she may wear clothes but is usually nude.
• Berserk Button: Never give her photograph to someone else or mistake her for a cat.
  • Though these probably weren't caused by "buttons" so much as situation. In the case of the photo, it was most likely just because she spent the better part of that episode working just to GET the photo, so suddenly taking it back from her and giving it to another for free would, in all likelihood, piss ANYONE off... the cat thing was probably simply due to her getting literally BURIED in cat related objects, at every corner, and was probably just really angry when she came to that conclusion... rather than the conclusion itself making her go berserk...
• Designated Monkey: She is usually abused and ignored for no reason.
• Everything Sounds Sexier in French
• Funny Foreigner
• Hair Decorations
• Interspecies Romance: Like Pepe, she mistakes other animals for fellow skunks and runs after them. Her hit list has included Furrball, Calamity, Dizzy, and Hamton, who took her to the prom.
• No Guy Wants to Be Chased: This is her main problem, though it's because of her smell, even though unlike her Looney Tunes counterpart, she doesn't mind being chased by guys.
• Prehensile Tail
• Ridiculously Cute Critter
• Smelly Skunk: Unlike Pepe, she can actually control her scent.
• Spell My Name with an "S": Some people (including some who claim to be the aforementioned fans) still think her name is "Le Fume".
  • Like Hamton as noted above, this is probably because the credits sometimes misspelled it as "Le Fume".

Shirley McLoon

Looney Tunes counterpart: Melissa Duck. Voiced by Gail Matthius.

Tropes:

• American Accents: Valley Girl
• Cloudcuckoolander: Though actually a very smart one.
• Granola Girl
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal
• Interspecies Romance: A loon in a love triangle with a chicken and a duck.
• Levitating Lotus Position: She does this as part of her psychic powers.
• Psychic Powers: When parodying Carrie.
• New Age Retro Hippie
• Non-Mammalian Hair
• Seldom-Seen Species: Not many loons in fiction.
• Shout-Out: Shirley MacLaine
• Species Surname
• Spell My Name with an "S": Some think her name is Shirley THE Loon. Including the programmers of the Tiny Toons videogame.
• Trickster: As Plucky finds out in Never Too Late To Loon.

Furrball

Looney Tunes counterpart: Sylvester (Although he also shares traits with Penelope). Voiced by Frank Welker when voiced at all, except for one episode when Rob Paulsen voiced him instead.

Tropes:

• Butt Monkey: Probably the biggest on the show next to Plucky. He's called "unlucky" on the theme song for a reason.
• Chew Toy
• Cute Kitten
• Ridiculously Cute Critter
• Team Pet
• The Voiceless: Except for at least three occasions. Usually he'd just meow, but one time he had a voice that sounded like a higher-pitched version of Fred Jones.

Sweetie Pie

Looney Tunes counterpart: Tweety. Voiced by Candi Milo.

Tropes:

• Comedic Sociopathy
• Little Miss Snarker
• Jerkass
• Ridiculously Cute Critter
• Trickster

Calamity Coyote

Looney Tunes counterpart: Wile E. Coyote.

Tropes:

• Nice Guy: Aside from the few times he's shown chasing Lil' Beeper, (which he doesn't even seem to enjoy or know why he's doing it) Calamity is generally depicted as a perfectly nice person and a helpful friend to the other characters in the show.
• The Smart Guy
• Species Surname
• Talking with Signs: It was always troublesome whenever he wanted to talk on the phone.
• The Voiceless: In fact, he's spoken even fewer lines than his Looney Tunes counterpart.

Little Beeper

Looney Tunes counterpart: Road Runner.

Tropes:

• Jerkass: He has run over Calamity with a truck for no reason many times (often straight after another painful expirence). Even worse is in 'A Piece of Mind' in a flashback, it's hinted that Beeper and Calamity are actually adoptive brothers. Yikes...
• Super Speed

Fowlmouth

Looney Tunes counterpart: Foghorn Leghorn. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.

Tropes:

• American Accents: Joisey.
• Hollywood Tourette's: Never called out by name, but treated exactly like it otherwise.
• Interspecies Romance: Has a crush on Shirley the Loon.
• One-Scene Wonder: Well, two-episode wonder, at least. He was only really in one normal episode (focusing on him) and the "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" movie, but he was very prominent in both of those appearances.
• Sir Swearsalot: Yet his swears are always bleeped out of course... Paulson may not even be making real curse words! His most frequent choice is "dadgumit"!
  • He Has Standards: He doesn't use profanity in front of children. In one episode, Buster uses this in order to help him with Shirley.

Concord Condor

Looney Tunes counterpart: Beaky Buzzard.

Tropes:

• Species Surname

Gogo Dodo

Looney Tunes counterpart: The Dodo from "Porky in Wackyland", who is apparently his father.

Tropes:

• Cloudcuckoolander

Li'l Sneezer

Looney Tunes counterpart: Sniffles. Also voiced by Kath Soucie.

Tropes:

• Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: "NAME'S SLEAZER! HIT THE ROAD!!"
• Deliberately Cute Child
• Meaningful Name: He's little. He sneezes a lot.
• Motor Mouth
• Ridiculously Cute Critter
• Sneeze of Doom

Byron Basset

Looney Tunes counterpart: Sam the Sheepdog.

• Eleventh-Hour Superpower: In How I Spent My Summer Vacation, he saves Buster & Babs from going over a waterfall by FLYING.

Mary Melody

Looney Tunes counterpart: None, though she does bear a coincidental resemblance to So White from "Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs".

Tropes:

• Black Best Friend: She's the only human character who means no malice to the animal characters.
• The Generic Girl
• Meaningful Name: She named after "Merry Melodies", Looney Toons' sister cartoon shorts.

Marcia the Martian

Looney Tunes counterpart: Marvin the Martian.

• One-Scene Wonder: Though not super-popular herself, being based on Marvin (while only being in one episode) gives her this quality.
• Totally Radical: She uses "Daddio" a lot. The rest of her vocabulary is oddly normal.

Lightning Rodriguez

Looney Tunes counterpart: Speedy Gonzales.

Arnold the Pitbull

• The Ahnold
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Arnold is a parody of... do we really have to spell it out?

Julie Bruin

• Gainaxing: Holy crap, her "bosom" bounces with almost every movement she makes.
• Genki Girl
• Ink Suit Actor and No Celebrities Were Harmed: She's a spoof of Julie Brown, who also voices her.
• One-Scene Wonder: She's only in one very short segment in one episode; technically, Marcia was onscreen longer than Julie, though Marcia had less dialogue.

The Flea Family (Mama, Papa, Itchy and Flio)

• A Day in the Limelight: They only appear in a couple episodes but they're the central focus of each episode they appear in.
• Affectionate Parody: Of the Mousekewitz family from An American Tail
• Four-Legged Insect: All of them.
• I Have You Now, My Pretty: A greedy, fat tick crimelord almost forced Itchy to marry him in one episode. Definitely Squick.
• "I Want" Song: "Fur Fur Away" sung by Flio, which bares a striking similarity to "Somewhere Out There".
• Little Miss Snarker: Itchy
• Unnamed Parent

The Original Looney Tunes

Bosko the Talk Ink Kid and his girlfriend Honey, as well as Foxy and Roxy and Goopy Geer. These guys were the original stars for the Warner Bros. cartoon studio in the early 1930s, and after that time were abandoned and drifted into cartoon limbo for decades... until they were brought back for the episodes "Fields of Honey" and "Two-Tone Town".

• A Day in the Limelight: Both of the episodes they respectively appear in.
• Art Evolution: The characters (sans Goopy Geer) look nothing like they did in their original appearances, looking more like a combination of the 30's rubberhose style with the 40's pears and spheres style, and with Bosko and Honey getting their species changed into dog like designs. Although there's a good reason for this--Bosko and Honey were originally caricatures of old time ministrel black people, and Foxy and Roxy were shameless copies of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Goopy was never an ersatz of any character (and no, he was not an ersatz of Goofy, who first appeared a month after Goopy Geer made his debut) so he only recieved a mild redesign.
• Poorly-Disguised Pilot: Both episodes are clear forerunners to Tiny Toons' Spiritual Successor, Animaniacs. The characters redesigns are even suspiciously similar to those of Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
