* Narcissist: Pizza Steve, according to his character profile.

Relevant tropes:

* VerbalTic: Uncle Grandpa's catchphrase 'good morning'.

Pete Browngardt originally pitched ''Uncle Grandpa'' in 2008 for the cancelled animated shorts vehicle ''{{WesternAnimation/Cartoonstitute}}'' (the same project which spawned ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''). When the finished cartoon was released through the Cartoon Network website, it quickly became a word-of-mouth hit within the animation community, eventually going on to be nominated for a Emmy. The character went through a couple of years of DevelopmentHell, only to reemerge on an episode of the [[DenserAndWackier equally bizarre]] ''WesternAnimation/SecretMountainFortAwesome'' (also by Browngardt). When that show was put into hiatus, Browngardt decided to switch gears and focus back on Uncle Grandpa, eventually managed to succeed in getting it greenlit. Even GoldenAgeOfAnimation purist Creator/JohnKricfalusi seems to getting pumped for the show [[http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/john-k-draws-uncle-grandpa-76314.html judging by these sketches]].
