History Characters / ChildsPlayChucky

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: You first see him in ''Film/{{Bride|Of Chucky}}'' drinking water from a fish bowl with the fish in it, leaving its fate off-screen. he says he kills a housecat in the first episode of the TV show in a way best left to imagination - for no particular reason, aside from perhaps being annoyed by it. Ya know, just in case you still thought he wasn't evil enough.

* NonIndicativeNickname: If Devon is to believed, Chucky was called "The Lakeshore Strangler" when he was alive as a human despite not actually strangling any of his victims.

** In the Season 1 finale of the ''Chucky'' series, [[spoiler: one of the Chucky dolls reacts with disgust upon discovering that Nica!Chucky had been dipping their hands in both ponds. Later, he calls Devon a "twink" - slang for a young gay man – and his reaction to learning that Jake and Devon were a couple is a disgusted "[[RefugeInAudacity Oh, that is so gay!]]"]]

* FlatEarthAtheist: Chucky (at least states he) doesn't believe in {{God}}. Weird, considering his soul swapping ability is possible via invoking a voodoo deity named Damballa, and the fact that voodoo magical practices are all about asking the Loa (gods/spirits) to do favors. He even considered it blasphemous of Jake to overpower the strength of Damballa when Jake pushed him off.

!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/BradDourif, David Kohlsmith (Child), Tyler Barish (14 Yrs), Creator/FionaDourif ([[CrossCastRole adult]]), [[spoiler:Fiona Dourif (possessing Nica Pierce).]]

** His seeming repulsion is questionable, however, seeing as how he has something of an affinity for non-consent himself. In ''Seed'', he utterly enjoys attacking and binding and gagging Jennifer Tilly in preparation for a soul transfer, and attempts to molest her afterward. In ''Curse'', during a flashback, he [[StalkerWithACrush kidnaps and binds and gags]] Sarah, and in ''Cult'', after possessing Nica, the first thing he does his fondle her breasts. The series also reveals that both he and Tiffany get off on forcing other people to watch them have sex.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He’s disgusted by Dr. Foley raping Nica under hypnosis, even saying he doesn’t know if he should kill him or take notes. His seeming repulsion is a bit odd, however, seeing as how he has something of an affinity for non-consent himself. In ''Seed'' he utterly enjoys attacking and binding and gagging Jennifer Tilly in preparation for a soul transfer, and attempts to molest her afterward.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first words as a doll(in his regular voice, not the Good Guy doll's voice) really establish his foul-mouthed and generally unpleasant attitude.

* CelebrityParadox: The show ''Series/MurderSheWrote'' exists in the films' universe, which Tiffany was watching on her television set at the time of her human death before switching to ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'' in ''Bride''. Chucky's actor Creator/BradDourif has made a guest appearance in an episode of the show. As far as ''Series/{{Chucky}}'' is concerned, the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' franchise might exist in this universe as Creator/BradDourif had appeared in Music/RobZombie's [[Film/Halloween2007 remake]] and its [[Film/HalloweenII2009 sequel]]. Also, if Colonel Chucky's "[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Khan!]]" ShoutOut in the show's second season is any indication, the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise also might exist in this universe too as Dourif also appeared in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''.

* HatedByAll: As both Chucky and Charles Lee Ray, a majority of people have many different reasons to despise him due to the horrific legacy he left behind (as Charles Lee Ray) and the innumerable lives he's taken and ruined as a murderous doll. Other than Tiffany, the only people who are known to have regard for Chucky are truly disturbed individuals such as [[AxCrazy Glenda]], [[CloudCuckoolander Angela]], or [[spoiler:[[TeensAreMonsters Junior]]]]. Even with Tiffany, her love for her husband often is pushed to its limits: by the time of the TV series, Tiffany wanted to figure out a way to keep Nica around whilst simultaneously seeing less of Chucky in Nica's body.

!! Chuckys
Since the events of ''Cult of Chucky'' and the ending of Season 1 of the TV series, Chucky's soul has been splintered off into various Chucks. Some exist for their own nefarious purposes, and others just exist for mundane work.

[[folder:Scout Chucky]]
A Chucky sent by a figure known as "the Colonel" to spy on Jake and his friends at the School of Incarnate Lord.

----

* HarmlessVillain: While he has been shown to kill someone, albeit accidentally, Scout Chucky is pretty harmless when it comes to killing and was only created to spy on the students of the Incarnate Lord.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Over the course of "Hail Mary" in Season 2, Scout Chucky developes into becoming on the genuine side of good. Given the appearance of another Chucky sent there to kill, Chucky is seen about to do something to Scout Chucky at the end of the episode. His HeelFaceTurn [[HeelFaceDoorSlam might not stick]].]]
[[/folder]]

* SelfMadeOrphan: His father was murdered by another serial killer then right after he murdered his mother (who was trying to hide them) to “help” the killer.

* WeaponOfChoice: He absolutely loves kitchen knives and similar weapons like a dagger, fire axe, machete or scalpel.

* TeenyWeenie: Discussed in episode 8 of ''Chucky'' when [[spoiler:Tiffany]] calls him out on, in her words, having a small penis.

* BadassAdorable: A rare slasher villain example, he's a chunky little baby-faced doll said to have the strength of a grown man (though a few scenes such as Andy's mom keeping him in a fireplace at the end of the first film show it's not quite that much) - and a whole lot of ferocity, being good with knives and many other weapons. This is played up in newer entries like ''Cult'' and the TV series, where doll bodies he uses do not have scars and look more conventionally cute and innocent. * BadassBoast: "Don't fuck with the Chuck!"

** He also takes Jake's contempt in remarkably good stride for the first episodes of the series, when he would usually respond to any insult by killing the person. [[spoiler:Since he needs to corrupt a kid into murdering someone to complete his soul-splitting spell into multiple Good Guy dolls, he has to try his hardest not to react in a manner that could alienate potential candidates. He only starts trying to kill Jake once the boy makes it clear he won't be swayed, but continues that same tactic of endearing himself as a good guy to his other prospects like Junior and Caroline.]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: From him being burnt and then shot in the heart in the original film, to him being covered in molten plastic and experiencing a YourHeadAsplode in the sequel, to him literally being shredded by a fan in the third, Chucky’s deaths are always gruesome.
