History Characters / GreenEggsAndHam2019

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Every time he's given a chance to show ''some'' level of basic decency, he cruelly rejects it. [[spoiler:When Michellee tries to earnestly talk him into giving up his obsessive quest for a Chickeraffe and moving on, Snerz hesitates and clearly considers it for a moment, only to [[IgnoredEpiphany dismiss it with a "Nah."]]]]

* RedemptionRejection: In the final episode, [[spoiler:he has the chance to jump to safety from a cold-air balloon and let the Chickeraffe go, or else keep trying to get to it and risk being injured by a wind turbine. Michelee tries to get him to leave with an inspiring speech about letting something go if you love them, and it almost seems to get through to him... and then he snaps "NO!", makes a stronger effort to reach Mr. Jenkins, and the heroes have to take action.]]

* PregnantBadass: [[spoiler: She is pregnant in Season 2 but is able to help out Guy and Pam fight in spite of that, even while in labor]].

* BookDumb: Knows little to nothing about animals and thinks being "Vegan" is some sort of life-threatening disease, yet he's capable of smooth-talking his way out of most situations, or as he puts it, "Guy's the brains and he's the 'other brains'". [[spoiler:He's not really an animal protector at all and his smooth-talking ways is based on him being a con artist.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: Has the ''largest'' amount of spoilers out of the main cast, and learning his true character will make the viewers all aghast.

[[folder:Philip Trouser]]

* BrainlessBeauty: Trouser is a handsome and suave spy, but he's also dumb as a rock.

* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Pam was raising Sam as a single mother, and by all accounts wants to be a good mother to him. But her life is fraught with all sorts of danger brought about by her enemies, so she decided to leave Sam in an orphanage as far away from her old home as possible.

A bean-counter and E.B.'s mother. [[spoiler: Guy's wife]]

* UnmanlySecret: His [[spoiler: royal bedroom]] is chock full of plush toys.

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: They are shown as the ones behind the whole war as revealed in Season 2. Then again, considering it's Gluntz, who isn't renowned for brains or competency, who claims this, there are no signs that the cows are actually intelligent , and because cows aren't able to strap slingshots to their horns, the truth of this is doubtful at best. Though Goat can grab things with hoves on the first season and there are the unexplained suits that the cows wear.]]

* AmbigiousGenderIdentity: In Season 2 Sam seems to identify with his Linda Schwartz persona to some extent, with Pam even making a point of using the correct pronouns to refer to her.

%% [[caption-width-right:210:some caption text]]
An exotic animal that Sam-I-Am broke out of a zoo and joins the main gang in Season 1.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: He likes to play fetch and shows affection by licking people in the face.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's usually a docile creature...except when pissed off.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Well, he's not from ''our'' Earth, and he eats ties. Fortunately, ties literally grow on trees.
* CanonForeigner: He didn't exist in the book, but he's a central character in the show, as the entire plot revolves around bringing him to Meepville.
* CurbStompBattle: When Sam and Guy are being menaced by the Goat and it looks like they might even be ''killed'', Mr. Jenkins screams, rips right through his netting, and promptly trounces the Goat.
* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: [[spoiler:He leaves Guy after becoming heartbroken by him furiously saying Sam isn't fit for even his own mother.]]
* FeatheredFiend: Played up as one in the first episode, as everyone believes he's an extremely dangerous wild animal. [[SubvertedTrope He's actually a]] GentleGiant.
* FormallyNamedPet: He's a wild animal, albeit a friendly one, but E.B. thinks of him as a pet and she picked the name.
* GentleGiant: When fully extending his neck and legs, Mr. Jenkins towers over everyone. He's also a friendly, docile animal who loves to play.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: He's an adorable, loyal, and playful animal, but he's viewed by the public as a dangerous wild beast. This plot point is dropped after the first couple episodes.
* ImpossiblyCompactFolding: He's a very tall creature, but can fold in his limbs and neck, even to the point of looking like just a little puff ball. This is how he's able to fit into Sam's tiny suitcase.
* LivingMacGuffin: Everyone has their reasons for the chickeraffe.
** Snerz desires the rare bird to add as the centerpiece to his shackled menagerie of exotic animals.
** Initially dismissive and burdened by Mr. Jenkins, Guy soon comes to care for the bird's wellbeing along with Sam. [[spoiler: The former before the [[HeelFaceTurn latter]].]]
** Originally awestruck with the idea of a pet chickeraffe, E.B.'s compassion for Mr. Jenkins immediately leads her to empathize with Sam and Guy's story, eventually convincing the same in her mother [[spoiler: and Sam himself.]]
** [=McWinkle=] and Gluntz are determined to fulfill their final and first mission respectively of claiming the chickeraffe for their employer, [[spoiler: the chief of a wildlife protection agency, and return it to the Glurfsburgs Zoo.]]
** [[spoiler: Sam's original intentions of poaching the chickeraffe was just another job to fund TheQuest to find his mother.]]
* MixAndMatchCritters: As his species name suggests, he's part chicken (feathered body and wings) and part giraffe (long neck, face and horns).
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He's normally a lovable creature, despite the bad [=PR=]. Once it looks like Guy and Sam have been killed, though, he gets [=PISSED=], and, as The Goat found out, can be just as terrifying as the stories say if properly angered.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Popular belief, it seems, is that it's souls, but he actually subsists on a diet of ties (heck, Chickeraffe Island is home to a type of tree that bears ties as its fruit).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The thing chickeraffes fear the most is fleas, so when someone's pet flea jumps in the suitcase, Mr. Jenkins escapes and runs in panic.
* WingdingEyes: There are hearts in Mr. Jenkins' eyes when he first meets Guy.
