Context BoisterousBruiser / WesternAnimation

Go To

1* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
2** Toph Beifong is a unique example, in that she's a prepubescent girl. When she found out that the play chronicling their adventures was portraying her as a burly man who sees by screaming, she was ecstatic.
3** [[ThirdPersonPerson THE BOULDER]] takes offense at not being included in this list despite being a CaptainErsatz of [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]], and he'll show it by burying you UNDER A ROCKALANCHE!
4* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
5** This is the demeanor of new Avatar Korra, who the creators designed to be as unlike her MartialPacifist predecessor Aang as possible. She's the Water Tribe's answer to Toph...with all four elements at her disposal.
6** Toph makes a reappearance in the fourth season, eighty-six years old and ''exactly the same''.
7--->'''Korra:''' You tossed me around like a rag doll all day...\
8'''Toph:''' I KNOW! And I'm an old lady! Imagine me in my prime, I would have DESTROYED you!
9* The version of AQUAMAN (yes, spelled in all caps) in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''. His voice has been known to spontaneously develop an echo. '''Outrageous!'''
10* If Rath is any indication, then the Appoplexians from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' is a ''race'' of Boisterous Bruisers, who talk like Randy "Macho Man" Savage!
11* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' just '''loves''' this trope. We have Kevin Levin, Ben 10,000, Cooper Daniels...
12** Ben is this at any age, especially when he first got the Omnitrix and his default strategies seem to be AttackAttackAttack and YouFightLikeACow. Part of his CharacterDevelopment is learning when to be smart about his battles, though he still loves fighting bad guys and telling them how much they suck compared to him.
13* The ''three'' mice from ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'', though Vinnie was the most boisterous.
14* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''
15** Captain Planet himself. The guy ''loves'' to make (bad) puns and laugh while fighting pollution!
16** And Wheeler too, as the most HotBlooded of the group. Similar to the Captain, he enjoys dropping puns and one-liners while he's dealing with various eco-emergencies. He's also incorrigibly flirtatious and tends to charge headlong into situations. Unlike Captain Planet, he lacks NighInvulnerability, but he's still the most skilled fighter of the group and [[TheBigGuy one of the strongest.]]
17* Lago from ''WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys'' is a SpacePirate captain who originally wanted to betray the Primate Avengers but later switched to their side. He is also a LargeHam who speaks in a loud, faux Italian/Spanish accent.
18* Air specialist Ace [=McCloud=] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}''.
19* Monterrey Jack of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''.
20* Herry from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOfTheTitans''. (Well, he ''is'' a descedent of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hercules]].)
21* Odd Della Robbia of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' is a teenage version of this trope. He's too young to drink, but he gets the [[BigEater eating]], [[KidAnova womanizing]], [[LeeroyJenkins battle-happy]] and [[FunPersonified fun-loving]] elements down pat.
22* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''
23** Numbuh 4 is Sector V's scrappy, hot-headed close-combat expert.
24** Moosk the tie-hunter from "Operation K.N.O.T.", a former wage slave who broke free of the corporate lifestyle (and corporate dress codes) and now hunts snake-like necktie monsters for a living.
25%%* ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad'': Wolf Bronsky %%Needs more context
26* Garrett Miller of ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'' may be the first ''paraplegic'' example.
27* Joe Swanson from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' would be the second, then.
28* ''Franchise/GIJoe''
29** Rock n' Roll. A heavy metal bassist and surfer turned machine gunner, he didn't last long in the regular Army because the dress code really grated on him. They made him wear a ''shirt''.
30** Bazooka, too. His hard-partying ways got the best of him, and in the comics, when the GI Joe team was brought back together, he was the only one who couldn't pass the physical requirements because he'd become kind of really fat.
31** Gung Ho, one of the toughest and most badass of he Joes, has this reputation as well. He's Cajun.
32** And Wild Bill. '''Yeeeeeeee-HAAAAAAAA!'''
33** We'll pretend that Roadblock's omission was due to him gettin' busy in the kitchen!
34* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''
35** Manly Dan Corduroy, Wendy's dad. He's a hulking lumberjack whose preferred method of fishing is to grab the fish out of the lake and ''wrestle them into submission''.
36** [[AlwaysABiggerFish Even Manly Dan]] is intimidated by [[TestosteronePoisoning the Manotaurs]] from "Dipper vs. Manliness", a band of macho minotaurs who live in a "Man Cave" in the mountains (and prefer to enter ''[[ImpactSilhouette through the walls of the cave]]'').
37--->'''Testosteror:''' ''Not man enough?!'' I have ''three'' Adam's apples, ''six'' Y chromosomes, pecs on my abs, and ''fists for nipples!''
38* Hawkgirl in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' especially in the Christmas episode "Comfort and Joy".
39* Rainbow Dash from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' manages to pull this off while being [[CuteBruiser an adorable pegasus]]. Loud, obnoxious, lazy and possessive of an enormous ego, give her a target or a threat to her friends and she will lay right into it with enthusiastic violence and undeniable courage. She tends to give everyone a hard time, especially if she perceives you as an "egghead" or wimp, but accepting her insults and hyper competitive behavior with dignity and good humor will win you a friend who would protect you with her life.
40* Princess Bula from ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' is a female example of this trope.
41* [[ViolentGlaswegian The Scotsman]] from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''.
42* Scorpia from ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' is a RareFemaleExample. She is the biggest and most muscular character in the show, and just about the friendliest as well.
43* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'' has Wrecker, TheBigGuy of TheSquad. He's a LargeHam who loves to blow things up.
44* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' had Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, a talented warrior who was responsible for training Master Aayla Secura and was quite friendly and fun toward his allies, sharing a relationship akin to a BuddyCopShow [[VitriolicBestBuds with Obi-Wan Kenobi]].
45* T-Bone/Chance Furlong from ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats''.
46* And no list of ''outrageous'' fighters would be complete without a mention of [[HollywoodCyborg Cyborg]] from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Say it with us, now... '''"BOOYAH!"'''
47* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' has Arnold "Casey" Jones, whose voice is even goofy. '''[[{{Catchphrase}} Goongala!!]]'''
48* ''WesternAnimation/TheBigKnights'': "Sir Boris, finest swordsman in the world, and his brother Sir Morris, ''not'' the finest swordsman in the world, but the most enthusiastic!" Their approach to more or less any problem is shouting and smashing things.
49* Zoolie from ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesOfDarkWater''.
50* Buck Tuddrussel from ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' is a textbook example. [[CatchPhrase It's]] '''[[CatchPhrase GET SOME! IT'S GO TIME!]]'''
51* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'':
52** Sideswipe is described as being nicer than his brother [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Sunstreaker]], but every bit as bloodthirsty.
53** Despite being a BloodKnight with an combat-oriented alt-mode (a tank), Warpath is a friendly 'bot with the amusing VerbalTic of shouting onomatopoeia like "BAM", "POW" and "ZOWIE!"
54* Grizzly from ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' who enjoys a bit of rough-housing, which proves to be a issue when trying to interact with people.
55* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' gives us Sardonyx, a [[FusionDance Gem fusion]] who combines Garnet's power and rare bursts of [[LargeHam hamminess]] with Pearl's theatrical tendencies. The result: a showy stage magician with tremendous strength and a very, ''very'' large [[CarryABigStick mallet]].
56* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': Sylvia the Zbornak is Wander's SapientSteed, bodyguard, and boon companion. She's always ready to punch out bad guys, especially if they threaten Wander or any innocents. "The Family Reunion" shows it seems to run in the family: her brothers Bill, Gil, and Phil are even more enthusiastically scrappy than Sylvia is.
57* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': In "The Spear of Selene!" we meet [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Storkules]] (an obvious Expy of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hercules]]), here depicted as an amiable piece of DumbMuscle who's introduced giving his old friend Donald a big hug and telling him how great it is to see him again.
58* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse'': This show's version of Grimlock is [[AdaptationalNiceGuy a lot friendlier than many other versions]], but still seems to love an opportunity to show off how tough he and his friends are by beating up Decepticons.
