Here is a listing of the characters featured in the [[Warner Bros]] series ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''.
----
=== Buster Bunny ===
[[File:BusterBunny_9512.jpg|framethumb|200px]]
 
The male cohost of the show. ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]]. Voiced by [[Charlie Adler]] until Season 3, when John Kassir replaced him.
Line 15:
* [[Species Surname]]
* [[Straight Man]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Blue]] [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|Hare]]
 
=== Babs Bunny ===
[[File:BabsHoldingMatch_7671.jpg|framethumb|200px]]
 
The female cohost of the show. ''[[Looney Tunes (Animation)|Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Bugs Bunny again (particularly the Bugs Bunny that dresses in drag to trick his enemies). ('''Note:''' To avoid confusion, [[Space Jam (Film)|Lola]] [[The Looney Tunes Show (Animation)|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 [[Embarrassing First Name|her real name, Barbara Ann Bunny.]]
* [[The Chick]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Even more than Buster.
Line 31:
* [[Genki Girl]]: You've got to learn some self-control!
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Babs.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: Which is how she prefers it.
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Pink Girl to Buster's Blue Boy.
* [[The Prankster]]
Line 37:
* [[Species Surname]]: In spite of her and Buster having the same surname, the two of them always state "[[Lampshade Hanging|No relation]]" after introducing themselves.
 
=== Plucky Duck ===
[[File:Plucky6_6210.jpg|framethumb|200px]]
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Daffy Duck. Voiced by Joe Alaskey.
 
Line 44:
* [[Anti-Hero]]
* [[Attention Whore]]: Moreso than his mentor, Daffy Duck.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Prone to getting hit by an [[Anvil Onon 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 [[Femme Fatale|Hata Mari]], [[Mythology Gag|the pigeon from "Plane Daffy"]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Although he has a few rare [[Jerk Withwith 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.
Line 57:
* [[Toothy Bird]]
 
=== Ham(p)ton J. Pig ===
 
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Porky Pig. Voiced by Don Messick.
 
Line 65 ⟶ 64:
* [[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 [[Visual Pun|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 Withwith 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 La MarcheLaMarche]].

''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Yosemite Sam. Voiced by Danny Cooksey
Line 92 ⟶ 90:
* [[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 [[Villain Decay|fizzled off a bit as time went on]].
* [[Rich Bitch|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 ===
[[File:Elmyra17_7698.jpg|framethumb|200px]]
 
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Elmer Fudd. Voiced by Cree Summer.
Line 111 ⟶ 110:

* [[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. {{Spoiler| To the point, they informed the police on the reason why they pulled off the deed.}}

''[[Looney Tunes (Animation)|Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Pepe Le Pew. Voiced by Kath Soucie.
 
Tropes:
Line 125:
** 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 Withwith 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.
 
Line 145 ⟶ 144:
* [[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 Withwith 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.
 
Line 168 ⟶ 166:
* [[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 [[Scooby Doo|Fred Jones]].
 
=== Sweetie Pie ===
 
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Tweety. Voiced by [[Candi Milo]].
 
Line 179 ⟶ 176:
* [[Trickster]]
 
=== Calamity Coyote ===
 
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Wile E. Coyote.
 
Line 187 ⟶ 183:
* [[The Smart Guy]]
* [[Species Surname]]
* [[Talking Withwith 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.
 
Line 198 ⟶ 193:
* [[Super Speed]]
 
=== Fowlmouth ===
[[File:Fowlmouth_343.jpg|framethumb|200px]]
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Foghorn Leghorn. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.
 
Tropes:
* [[American Accents]]: Joisey.
* [[Hollywood TourettesTourette'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 "[[Gosh Darn It to Heck|dadgumit]]"!
** [[Everyone Has Standards| 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.
 
Line 216 ⟶ 211:
* [[Species Surname]]

* [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]]: In ''How I Spent My Summer Vacation'', {{spoiler|he saves Buster & Babs from going over a waterfall by ''FLYING''}}.
 
=== Mary Melody ===
 
=== Mary Melody ===
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: None, though she does bear a coincidental resemblance to So White from "[[Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs]]".
 
Line 250 ⟶ 241:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: She named after "Merry Melodies", Looney Toons' sister cartoon shorts.
 
=== Marcia the Martian ===
 
''[[Looney Tunes]]'' counterpart: Marvin the Martian.
 
Line 257 ⟶ 247:
* [[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... [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|do we really have to spell it out?]]
 
=== Julie Bruin ===
 
* [[Gainaxing]]: Holy crap, her "bosom" bounces with almost every movement she makes.
* [[Genki Girl]]
Line 273 ⟶ 260:
* [[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 Thethe 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".
Line 282 ⟶ 269:
* [[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 30's1930s, 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".
 
[[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 30's, 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 Thethe 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 (Animation)|Animaniacs]]''. The characters redesigns are even suspiciously similar to those of Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
