History Characters / TimeSquad

* NunTooHoly

* CovertPervert: He keeps a video of Tuddrussell singing in front of the sink while wearing nothing more than a towel ("The Prime Minister Has No Clothes"), is thrilled over Winston Churchill's plan to make his military nude (also in "The Prime Minister Has No Clothes"), and reads Jackie Collins books ("Child's Play") -- which contain a notoriously high amount of sleaze. And, proving that this aspect of his personality well-engrained enough to be exploited in advertisements, one of the bumpers for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays even had him fawning over JohnnyBravo.

* CovertPervert: He keeps a video of Tuddrussell singing in front of the sink while wearing nothing more than a towel ("The Prime Minister Has No Clothes"), is thrilled over Winston Churchill's plan to make his military nude (also in "The Prime Minister Has No Clothes"), and reads Jackie Collins books ("Child's Play") -- which contain a notoriously high amount of sleaze.

* HeyItsThatVoice: When did [[StarWars Luke Skywalker]] end up voicing a robot that acts like C-3PO ([[BeyondTheImpossible if he were more effeminate]]) and sounds like [[BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The Joker]]?

* HasTwoDaddies: Wasn't made apparent in the show until Freud mentioned it...in the ''third'' episode.

* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: A deliberate example.

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Larry can be pretty hammy when he shows his dark side, take the episode "Ex Marks The Spot"- he makes the most hysterically diabolical monologue on how he's going to ruin Tuddrussel and Shelia's dinner.
---> '''Larry''': They'll be so repulsed with the meal,(gasp) ''THEY'LL HATE EACHOTHER!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!''

* MoralGuardian: Acted like one on "Child's Play," effectively making Shakespeare rethink doing children's plays.

* ActionGirl

* BigGuyLittleGuy: He's the second half of this with Tuddrussel.

!Other characters

!Buck Tuddrussel

* BigGuyLittleGuy: He's the first half of this with Otto.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Tuddrussel is the latter; Larry is the former. In season one, it was played straight; in season two, it was exaggerated.

* TheBigGuy
* TheHero: At least he ''sees'' himself this way, if "A Thrilla at Attila's" is any indication.
** IdiotHero: Though definitely ''not'' an idolized example of the trope, since his stupidity is PlayedForLaughs.
* TheMcCoy: He's by far the most impulsive and aggressive of the trio.

!Larry 3000

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Larry is the former; Tuddrussell is the latter. In season one, it was played straight; in season two, it was exaggerated.

* TheAlcoholic: Doesn't drink (barring the motor oil and brake fluid daiquiri on "Ladies and Gentlemen, Monty Zuma"), but has acted drunk on "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake" and "Pasteur Packs O'Punch" (both times, he mentioned something about [[DrunkDriver being okay to drive, even though he's not]]).
* TheChick: Right down to the hourglass figure.
* TheHedonist
* TheLancer
* TheSpock: His hedonistic tendencies notwithstanding, he fills the role of the group's "moral compass," primarily in the sense of being a nagging maternal type.

!Otto Osworth

* TheKirk: He acts as the mediator between Tuddrussel and Larry's excesses.

!Sheila Sternwell

![=XJ5=]

!J.T. Laser

* TheAce: He "graduated top of [his] class" at the Academy and has a perfect success rate with missions.

!Lance Nine Trillion

* TheAce: He's J.T. Laser's partner, so this trope is a natural.
!Sister Thornley

An orphan illegaly travelling along with Tuddrussel and Larry, taken on board due to their incompetence and his impressive historical knowledge. Despite being a bookworm, his demeanor is far from boring; he is just as childlike and jocular as any regular 8-year-old. Even though he is the youngest, he is also the most responsible out of the squad, being the only one pure enough to not let himself get swayed by temptations. Depending on who he's siding with, he can either become loud, obnoxious and destructive (when Tuddrussel has him company) or composed and calm (when it's Larry he agrees with).

* CampGay: Not so much in season one (he ''did'' come off as AmbiguouslyGay in season one, believe it or not), but by season two, '''''almost''''' all of the ambiguity was tossed out the window.
** One could argue against this label by saying that Larry is just trying to be the sophisticated foil for the crude and ill-mannered Tuddrussell and that "sophistication" could be [[RefugeInAudacity an excuse for getting away with]] all the HoYay, but then you rewatch the show some time later and begin to notice that a lot of Larry's feminine mannerisms are just there and have nothing to do with being refined. Then, there are the signs of a possible [[HoYay relationship]] with Tuddrussell.

* EmbarrassingFirstName: In "Kubla Khan't," it's revealed that his first name is [[spoiler: Lawrence]].
* {{Expy}}: Larry is a pessimistic, ''extremely'' fey protocol droid, not unlike a sarcastic [[StarWars C-3PO]], but he's voiced not by Anthony Daniels but ''MarkHamill''.

* {{Flanderization}}: Larry's effeminate hobbies and mannerisms were actually toned down a bit in season one; in season two, the writers took Larry's effeminacy and ran with it, to the point that branding him as CampGay wouldn't be out of place
* GayBestFriend: He averts the trope by being one of the leads, but tried to become this to Cleopatra in "Shop Like an Egyptian." Observe:

* HeyItsThatVoice: When did [[StarWars Luke Skywalker]] end up voicing a robot that acts like C-3PO ([[BeyondTheImpossible if he were more effeminate]])?
** And the voice for Larry sounds like a more camp version of [[BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The Joker]].

* RoboticSpouse: Other characters (Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, for example) sometimes comment on the [[HoYay nature]] of his relationship with Tuddrussell.

* MrViceGuy: Tuddrussel's violent and gluttonous tendencies are amply demonstrated. More specifically, when offered a million dollars to commit an evil deed in "Nobel Peace Surprise," he eagerly blows up the town sewer system.

* AudioErotica

* TransparentCloset: Started in "Blackbeard, Warm Heart," and got more and more transparent, especially around season two when the censors seemed to have said, "[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] it!" and let Wasson and company make Larry as CampGay as possible without explicitly stating it.

* TransparentCloset: Started in "Blackbeard, Warm Heart," and got more and more transparent, especially around season two when the censors seemed to have said, "[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] it!" and let Wasson and company make Larry as CampGay as possible without explicitly stating it. While this isn't the best example of the trope because Larry is obviously aware that he's gay, he does try to deny being a "sissy" when the subject occurs.

* ExpressiveMask: Buck's goggles essentially serve as his face.

* NotCompensatingForAnything[=/=]{{Fetish}}: Tuddrussel's guns are the subject of their fair share of visual innuendo.

* TheLinus: He has an impressive knowledge of history, but is still childlike enough to play with coloring books and enjoy rough-housing.

* TransparentCloset: Started in "Blackbeard, Warm Heart," and got more and more transparent, especially around season two when the censors seemed to have said, "[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] it!" and let Wasson and company make Larry as CampGay as possible without explicitly stating it.

* HeyItsThatVoice: When did [[StarWars Luke Skywalker]] end up voicing a robot that acts like C-3PO (if [[BeyondTheImpossible if he were more effeminate]])?
