History Characters / TheMuppetsOthers

** TheBusCameBack: Johnny and Sal appeared in the recent trailer for ''Muppets Haunted Mansion'' as ghosts, confirming their comeback in the special.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sal Minella.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He's initially completely absent from [[Series/TheMuppets2015 the 2015 show]] aside from the 10-minute presentation pilot, which is very notable considering that far less important Muppets made appearances in it and his puppeteer worked on the show. He ultimately returned in 2017.

* SequelNonEntity: Despite Peter Linz being credited for every episode, and Walter appearing in the original pilot (with no lines), Walter does not make a single appearance in the 2015 TV series. He returns in ''Series/MuppetsNow'', as the format works better for his excitable nature.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: All of them are Muppet styled puppets except for Animool who is just David Grohl in a cheap Animal costume.

%%* BearyFunny

%%* TheDitz

%%* ThoseTwoGuys: In ''The Muppets'' and ''Most Wanted'', he spends most of his screentime with Uncle Deadly. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; do they act as a GreekChorus?)

%%* CasanovaWannabe

%%* LesserStar

* CharcterCatchphrase: "I'm Chip. I'm the IT guy."

* AdaptationalJerkass: Whereas in the book, Scrooge is merely a passive-aggressive grump about Christmas, here he threatens to fire his writing staff just for asking about the cold and throws a wreath at Bean Bunny for caroling.

* HeroesWantRedheads: With Mary.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Creator/AmyAdams, natch.

* JustAStupidAccent: Why is he Spanish? No special reason. ([[http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Pepe_the_King_Prawn The actual reason is Bill Barretta based the voice on his wife's aunt]].)
* InsistentTerminology: He is a ''King Prawn'', okay? Not a ''Shrimp''.

%%* LovableSexManiac

->'''Performed by:''' Tyler Bunch (Foozie), Matt Vogel (Janoose), Dave Goelz (Kermoot), David Rudman (Miss Poogy), Matt Vogel (Roowlf), and Music/DaveGrohl (Animool)

* LargeAndInCharge: Being a human, he towers over most of the Muppets around him, helping to emphasise his intimidating stature. It also helps sell how scary the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is, since at eight feet, it's taller than ''him''.

* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Walter is [[OriginalGeneration a brand-new Muppet created for the film]] and is described as a plain brown Whatnot. [[{{Deconstruction}} He's not exactly a fan of how generic he is]].

[[folder: Penny Waxman]]

[[folder: Tina Teeth and Gerald Teeth, Sr.]]

* IronicEcho: [[spoiler: When Gerald finally stands up for his son, saying that he should stay a rock star because his promise was to "bring smiles to people", all his normally-talkative wife can say is "Yup".]]

* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler: They're never going to go back on holding Junior to his promise... but the specific words of his promise were that he'd join them in "bringing people smiles". Gerald decides that as long as he's playing with the band, he's doing just that]].

* TheQuietOne: Gerald only says "Yup" when directly asked for his input [[spoiler: until the end of "Fortunate Son"]].

[[folder: K. Edgar Singer]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Jeffrey Tambor

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: He hates being laughed at, but it's because the Space-Gonzos find him so amusing that they take him along.]]

* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler: Despite everything he's done and been through, the Space-Gonzos take him along as their ambassador. This gets him more respect than he's ever gotten on Earth.]]

The main human protagonist of Film/TheMuppets2011 who sets out alongside his Muppet brother Walter (don't ask) to reunite the Muppets.

* BigBad: Of ''Film/TheMuppets2011''.

[[folder: Nora Singh]]

[[folder: Gary "Moog" Moogwski]]

[[folder: Hannah Singh]]

[[folder: JJ]]

* BetterAsFriends: [[spoiler: He clearly wants more, but by the end accepts that this'll be his relationship with Nora.]]

* CatchPhrase: "I'm Chip. I'm the IT guy."

* {{Catchphrase}}: UN-believable!

* {{Catchphrase}}: Carl tends to end most of his appearances by shouting, "THANK YOU!"

* CatchPhrase: "Bah Humbug!" of course.

[[folder:Gary]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/walter_gary.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JasonSegel
->'''Debut:''' ''Film/TheMuppets2011''

The main human protagonist of Film/TheMuppets2011 who sets out alongside his Muppet brother Walter (don't ask) to reunite the Muppets.

* BigBrotherMentor: To Walter.
* HeroesWantRedheads: With Mary.
* HiddenDepths: He and Walter are given the task of putting costumes together, and he briefly mentions that he and Walter are both "really good sewers".
* TheLancer: To Walter.
* NiceGuy: Very kind and supportive of his brother, Walter.

[[folder:Mary]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mary_themuppets.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/AmyAdams

A schoolyard teacher and the LoveInterest to Gary. She comes with Walter and Gary on their quest to reunite the Muppets.

* CoolTeacher: Her students even simultaneously admit they'll miss her during their two-week Spring Break.
* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:When the Muppet Theater loses power during the telethon, she abruptly appears to repair the fuse box.]]
** ChekhovsGunman: Her knowing how to fix the fuse box was foreshadowed early on, when she's teaching kids how to repair cars. It's her sudden appearance when she was in another state that makes it DeusExMachina.
* {{Foil}}: Arguably to Miss Piggy -- then again, "Me Party" shows that the two aren't so different.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Creator/AmyAdams, natch.
%%* HotTeacher
* NiceGirl: Mary is friendly and kind, although she does have her limits.
* WrenchWench: Fixes a car for her class's benefit. And she's a GirlyGirl, no less!

[[folder:Tex Richman]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tex_muppets.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/ChrisCooper

The prospect of oil under the site of the old ''Muppet Show'' theater prompts this billionaire to buy the building under the guise of turning it into a museum. When the good guys learn of his scheme to raze it, their quest to raise enough money to buy it back begins. He's got all the trappings of a classic kiddie-movie villain... except the EvilLaugh.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Saraa Chaudrey

* EarlyBirdCameo: Was in Jim Henson's original pilot of ''The Jim Henson Hour'', titled ''Inner Tube TV''. Digit was the keyboard player for the all-new band and had a more-robotic voice. Digit is also the only Muppet from said pilot to remain on board when the show was changed to ''The Jim Henson Hour''.

* AscendedExtra: The ''only'' ''Series/MuppetsTonight'' Muppet to appear for more than one scene or crowd shot in the 2011 film.

* DependingOnTheWriter: His intelligence has varied from project to project. When he first appeared in ''Series/MuppetsTonight'', he was pretty dim-witted. In the movies, he was generally a MinionWithAnFInEvil. By ''Series/TheMuppets2015'', he was one of the smarter characters.

* GentleGiant: Like Fozzie, he's more of a teddy bear than a menacing one.

* ThoseTwoGuys: In ''The Muppets'' and ''Most Wanted'', he spends most of his screentime with Uncle Deadly.

* AscendedFanboy: The lucky guy gets to meet his idols, help them come back to relevance and even gets a part in their telethon and becomes a member of the gang!

* AuthorAppeal: Creator/JasonSegel, who co-wrote the 2011 ''Muppets'' film (and also portrays Gary) grew up watching the original Muppet show and has a great affection for the characters, and Walter’s own love of the Muppets was heavily influenced by this.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He was completely absent from [[Series/TheMuppets2015 the 2015 show]] aside from the 10-minute presentation pilot, which is very notable considering that far less important Muppets made appearances in it and his puppeteer worked on the show. He ultimately returned in 2017.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of the Muppets. Because he ''is one'' himself, not that he knew that.

* HiddenDepths: He can whistle, but he didn't think of it as a talent until he was put on the spot and had to do something to fill time.

* ObliviousAdoption: {{Averted}}. The film never even addresses how human Gary and Muppet Walter are brothers.
** According to Jason Segel, they just decided the audience will [[MST3KMantra go with it]], like how in ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'', people just went with the idea of Fozzie and Kermit being identical twin brothers.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Walter never ages while growing up, unlike his human brother Gary. He’s 30 years old during the events of the 2011 film, [[AllThereInTheScript according to the writers]], but doesn’t look any different from when he was a child.
* OutOfFocus: Played with in ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'', where he's still a main character, but the classic Muppets get more focus than in ''Film/TheMuppets2011''.
* PutOnABus: Despite Peter Linz being credited for every episode, and Walter appearing in the original pilot (with no lines), Walter does not make a single appearance in the 2015 TV series.
** [[spoiler:He's back in the Muppets Now, as the format works better for his excitable nature.]]

* BigBad: He is the main villain in ''Muppets Most Wanted''.

* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: Aside from the mole, which he's quick to cover up with makeup, his collar is noticeably shorter than Kermit's, but no one ever points this out.
* {{Jerkass}}: How do the other gulag prisoners know that Kermit isn't him? Constantine apparently ''never'' says thank you for anything.
* KickTheDog: While his treatment of Dominic is kind of funny, it's also rather cruel. There's also framing Kermit for his escape, and [[spoiler:arranging a wedding with Miss Piggy which he would almost certainly have broken off]].
** TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Dominic tries to betray him. Key word being tries. Piggy has more luck, effortlessly slapping him around a helicopter.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Even with his comedic moments, he is still one of the franchise's most dangerous and ruthless villains, next to [[Film/TheMuppetMovie Doc Hopper]].
* LaughablyEvil: He's just as humorous as any regular Muppet. But he's also probably [[BewareTheSillyOnes the most vile and menacing Muppet]] [[VileVillainSaccharineShow ever seen thus far]].
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: "The most dangerous frog in the world" (which, as Piggy points out in the climax, isn't really saying much).

* AffablyEvil: He's surprisingly polite, all things considered.
* BeardOfEvil: Ricky Gervais keeps his beard for the role.
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:His efforts to overthrow Constantine end terribly, and he's ultimately laughed into prison.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Is on the receiving end of one of these, courtesy of Constantine.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:He attempts to betray Constantine because he treats him horribly. [[CurbStompBattle It doesn't work.]]]]
* TheDragon: To Constantine.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: He doesn't like his boss, however.
* EvilBrit: For a given measure of "evil", given how he's rather affable.

* ILied: This realization is first Lampshaded by Walter when he informs Fozzie that Dominic Badguy lied and he's responsible for the ticket sales numbers.
* InsistentTerminology: Insists his last name is pronounced "Bahd-gee" when introducing himself to the Muppets and claims [[BlatantLies it means "good man."]]
* MeaningfulName: They don't call him Badguy for nothing.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:His failed betrayal is partly out of greed, but mainly because Constantine treated him like rubbish]].

* ObviouslyEvil: Oh come on. Just look at his name!
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:His betrayal may have ended disastrously, but it did slow Constantine down]].
* TheBadGuyWins: Or so he thought; Constantine set the record straight for Dominic after stating he doesn't tolerate his own boss attempting to betray him before ejecting him from the helicopter.

* VillainSong: He and Constantine sing the duet "I'm Number One" where Constantine proudly calls them "criminals at large" and sings about how he's superior to Dominic.

* DreadfulMusician: She's... enthusiastic, at least, but her singing of "I Need This Job" alarms Kermit. Whether she actually is or isn't, we don't get to see, because just as she gets to her big solo number... [[spoiler:the movie ends.]]

* TeamMom: Ends up becoming this to the Mayhem.

The Electric Mayhem's biggest fan, who follows them on-tour to every concert; and aspires to be a musician himself.

* DeadpanSnarker: Towards Nora, about her flimsy web of lies.
* DoggedNiceGuy: He's crushing on Nora, who's warming back up to her ex, and does not take it well.
* EndearinglyDorky: As Hannah puts it to Nora, "It seems like Awkward Guy is growing on you". She also describes his crush on her sister as "adorable".
* JerkassBall: Otherwise a nice guy, tries to sabatogue Nora and JJ as a couple, by manipulating the band to argue. To be fair, he was egged on by Hannah, but he still made the choice.

[[folder:80's Robot]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Unlike Walter, who was only absent temporarily after ''Muppets Most Wanted'', 80's Robot's absence is another story as 80's Robot has yet to make appearances outside of ''Muppets Most Wanted''.

* TotallyRadical: Speaks in 80s slang. Grody to the max!

* ExtravertedNerd: Described as "Awkward Guy" by Hannah and is an obsessive superfan; but nevertheless confident and eager to put himself out there with his demo. (Though he's a little more shy when it comes to romance)
