| 9 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LenCarlson (English), Creator/ToshioFurukawa (Japanese) |
| 10 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gfgf0011.jpeg]] |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * AcePilot: He's pretty good with a plane or rocket and can fly straight when he needs to, but when he gets too excited he DrivesLikeCrazy. |
| 13 | * AgeGapRomance: He develops a crush on Lisa Raccoon despite him being ([[{{Manchild}} theoretically]]) an adult and her still being in high school. Eventually he agrees that they should just be friends. |
| 14 | * AttractiveBentGender: He dresses up in drag in "Cry Wolf!" |
| 15 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's very kind and sweet, but don't anger him or he'll get back at you almost instantly! |
| 16 | * BigBrotherMentor: He often treats Bentley like a little brother by offering him advice and planning activities with him. |
| 17 | * BigEater: Judging by the beginning of the episode 'Monster Mania'. |
| 18 | -->'''Bert''': Yeah, Melissa, I gotta admit it, you sure know how to pack a picnic basket. |
| 19 | -->'''Melissa''': And you sure know how to empty one, Bert. |
| 20 | * [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS Brought To You By The Letter "B"]]: Bert's trademark red-and-yellow sweater bears his first initial. |
| 21 | * CatchPhrase: |
| 22 | ** Several times throughout the show, he has a tendency to announce himself as "Bert Raccoon, Ace X (magician, pilot, detective, etc)!" |
| 23 | ** He's also prone to saying "Yahoo!" whenever he's excited. |
| 24 | * CharacterDevelopment: At the start of the franchise he's rather lazy and is described as such, but while he still slacks off once in a while, he works harder as the series goes on, sometimes bending over backwards for other people. |
| 25 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In "The Raccoons and the Lost Star", he acts his usual goofy, clumsy self, but when he and the rest escape from Cyril's lair, he flies a biplane, does multiple loops around it without damage and flies everyone out safely. |
| 26 | * DreadfulMusician: Zigzagged. In 'The Sweet Smell of Success', when his friends arrive to rescue him, they followed the sound of his singing thinking it was a foghorn, but earlier in the same episode he is shown to sing quite well despite his rather nasally voice. Played straight with his trumpet playing in 'Surprise Attack'. |
| 27 | * FriendToAllChildren: In "Stop the Clock!", he claims that he hasn't met a child that he didn't like, and although he and Bentley sometimes have their disagreements, they still share a special friendship. Also, in "The Headline Hunter!", he has a good time with a little girl on a picnic, even if he was annoyed that she was the only person who bid on him in the BachelorAuction. |
| 28 | * GagNose: He has a long, bent nose, and is the goofiest of the Raccoondominium residents. |
| 29 | * GlorySeeker: His greatest character flaw is his pursuit of fame. He wants to be a star or win at something, and will jump at every opportunity he gets to pursue this goal. |
| 30 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Only wears a sweater. |
| 31 | * TheHero: He's the first character introduced in the intro and is more or less the protagonist of the series. |
| 32 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: In "The Sweet Smell of Success", he gets suckered into doing a commercial for Cyril, and as a result gets into an accident and is left stranded in a gondola with the drop below threatening to kill him. Fortunately Schaeffer, Ralph and Melissa save him in the nick of time.]] |
| 33 | * IdiotHero: He always does the right thing, but he has a tendency to be reckless and immature. |
| 34 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: Bert is a young adult who's friends with Bentley, a prepubescent boy, and Lisa, a girl in her teens. |
| 35 | * JerkassBall: In "A Night to Remember" he engages in casual sexism by excluding Melissa and Sophia from his secret club. Of course, he has a HeelRealization when they show up to save the day. |
| 36 | * {{Keet}}: Hyperactive and easily excitable. |
| 37 | * TheKlutz: He's very clumsy, always falling over or crashing into things. |
| 38 | * LargeHam: He likes to make over-dramatic announcements and yell at the top of his voice. In one episode Ralph calls him a "canned ham". |
| 39 | * LethalChef: He makes a horrible soup in "Cry Wolf!". [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he was working under pressure. |
| 40 | * LimitedWardrobe: He's only seen wearing his trademark red sweater, and has dozens of copies of it. |
| 41 | * {{Manchild}}: Bert's the same age as Ralph and Melissa, both already married. They all attended the same school, the same grade along with Cedric Sneer. They all graduated from college. So, all of them must be in their early to mid twenties. Also Bert doesn't live at his own home, Ralph and Melissa let him stay with them. However, almost every chapter we see Bert playing dangerous antics and acting as if he's still a teenager, if not a kid. |
| 42 | * NiceGuy: He's kind, inclusive, and welcoming. |
| 43 | * RedOniBlueOni: Excitable, hyperactive Red to Cedric's mellow, sensible Blue. |
| 44 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He has a tendency to squeal when he's scared. |
| 45 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: It's not that Bert won't leave Ralph and Melissa's home that's the problem as he's a welcome houseguest, it's the fact that he can be extremely clingy and not respect their private time as a couple, insisting on tagging along with whatever they do. |
| 46 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Peanut butter. He spreads it on almost everything he eats, much to Ralph and Melissa's annoyance. |
| 47 | * ZanyScheme: Usually comes up with one in every episode, although there are some exceptions. |

| 77 | |
| 78 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: He often frustrates his older sister Lisa with his behavior. |
| 79 | * TheArtifact: His character design resembling a smaller Bert is only plot-relevant in his debut episode, where the Pigs mistake him for a de-aged Bert when he wears one of Bert's sweaters. The only other time it's acknowledged is in "Making the Grade!", where he mistakes Bert in an old photo for himself. |
| 80 | * BrattyHalfPint: He has his moments. |
| 81 | * ChildProdigy: A master of computing at 8 years old, and attends grade 7 at Evergreen Elementary. |
| 82 | ** There '''''is''''' [[TruthInTelevision actually a grade 7 in elementary schools in Canada]]. |

| 97 | * BigSisterInstinct: In "Easy Money!", she organizes a rescue mission with Bert and Cedric to get back her younger brother Bentley after finding out he's gotten himself lost in the Endless Echo Caverns. |
| 98 | * {{Chickification}}: Lisa goes from sporty girl to an emotional wreck in her second appearance. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools However]], it's done ''very'' believably and she recovers when Bert gives her some perspective about her life. |
| 99 | * CoolBigSis: Although she sometimes gets annoyed with her younger brother Bentley, she still cares about him. |
| 100 | * EveryoneHasStandards: In "Join the Club!", she's against the idea of her younger brother Bentley smoking cigarettes and decides to quit so he doesn't get involved with it as well. |
| 101 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: {{Zigzagged}}. While she's more responsible than her brother Bentley and wishes he'd show more maturity, she sometimes makes foolish decisions of her own, like smoking cigarettes to impress a friend. |
| 102 | * FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: She wears a T-shirt, suspenders, high-waisted pants, and sneakers. |
| 103 | * GirlsLoveChocolate: {{Downplayed}}. In "Moving In!", George mentions that Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Supreme is her favorite dessert, but chocolate is only one part of it. |
| 104 | * HumanoidFemaleAnimal: She's the most slender of the raccoons and has human-like hands and feet instead of black paws. |
| 105 | * IconicSequelCharacter: She debuted in an episode in Season 4 and became one of the main characters when her family moved to the Evergreen Forest in Season 5. |
| 106 | * JerkassRealization: She has one in "Moving In!" after she lashes out at her family, selfishly claiming that no one cares about how she feels and blaming her father for the move. This leads to her making a surprise appearance on her father's cooking show and apologizing to him for being so rude. |
| 107 | * MovingAngst: In "Moving In!", she grows depressed over moving to the Evergreen Forest and leaving her old life behind. |
| 108 | * MsViceGirl: Lisa is reasonably friendly, but her occasional selfishness and stubbornness often creates conflict, especially with her brother Bentley. |

| 110 | * PassionateSportsGirl: She enjoys playing basketball. |

| 115 | * TomboyishPonytail: To go along with her love for basketball. |

| 125 | * GagNose: They both have the same bent noses as Bert and Bentley, most likely so the audience can easily identify them as Bentley's parents. |
| 126 | * GoodParents: Not only do they love their children, Bentley and Lisa, but they also treat them with the utmost responsibility. |

| 145 | * GoneHorriblyRight: When Cyril sends him to a special business school so he can gain some drive, he comes back an arrogant yuppie. Cyril remarks that he's now "more troublesome than a government accountant". |
| 146 | * HappilyAdopted: Subverted. [[spoiler: ''Cyril'' is the one who's adopted, though due to a misunderstanding in "The Family Secret!" Cedric thought that he wasn't Cyril's real son.]] |
| 147 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: In [[GrandFinale "Go For Gold!"]], he becomes the president of Sneer Enterprises and is a complete [[AvertedTrope aversion]] of [[CorruptCorporateExecutive his father from the early seasons.]] Cyril retires that same episode, but it didn't work out for him, so he gets promoted to being Cedric's co-president. |
| 148 | * LovableNerd: He may be nerdy, but he has a good heart. |
| 149 | * MissingMom: He's raised exclusively by his father and in "Courting Disaster!", it's implied his mother is dead. |

He is a ShrinkingViolet, being soft spoken and shy, as well as very intelligent, handling all of the bookkeeping for his wealthy father's business. Downplayed however, as he is shown to be athletic, being very good at baseball, swimming and fishing, and has a long-term girlfriend in Sophia Tutu. |
| 157 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Though he's a nerd, he's a pretty skilled athlete and sometimes [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength doesn't know his own strength]]. This is shown when he accidentally elbows Bert in the stomach and sends him flying in "A Night to Remember". |
| 158 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate pudding. In ''The Raccoons on Ice'', Cyril threatens to take them away if Cedric joins Bert's team. |

| 167 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: She's an aardvark with pink fur and blue hair. |
| 168 | * TheArtifact: Despite being phased out of the show, and not making any appearances whatsoever in the final season, Sophia still remained in the intro throughout the entire run of the series due to it never changing. |
| 169 | * BreakTheCutie: In "The Raccoons and the Lost Star" when she's imprisoned in Cyril Sneer's dungeon. |
| 170 | * CannotKeepASecret: Even if she tried. Look below TheDitz for an example. |
| 171 | * TheCutie: She was the sweetest of the main male character's respectful love interests. |
| 172 | * TheDitz: She was... really naïve to say the least. For example in "Rumours!", when she and Cedric were keeping a secret, she told Bert... |
| 173 | --> "We're going to prepare for the arrival of the King and Queen! They're coming to the Evergreen Forest, but we can't tell you that, cause it's a secret. ({{beat}}) Oops!" |

| 177 | * HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Other than her nose, she is most human-like in appearance, and has hands and feet instead of big paws with claws like Cyril and Cedric have. |
| 178 | * InexplicablyTailless: She, and all other female aardvarks, don't appear to have any tails. |
| 179 | * InnocentBlueEyes: She had blue eyes. She was never mean spirited, and was kind hearted. |

| 181 | * NeutralFemale: In the specials. |
| 182 | * OfficialCouple: With Cedric. |
| 183 | * OutdoorsyGal: Although she's more girly, she still enjoys joining out in the forest, riding her bike, exploring, camping, swimming in the lake. She even wears, a sleeveless top, shorts and sneakers. |
| 184 | * PassionateSportsGirl: If riding her bike and participating in the first annual Forest Games (in "Stop The Clock!") has anything to say about it. |
| 185 | * [[PutOnABus Put On A Train]]: She was DemotedToExtra by season three, where she only appeared in three episodes (her second to last one "The Evergreen Express!" where she was in the train). Her final appearances are cameos in "A Catered Affair!" and "The Headline Hunter!". |
| 186 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Cedric's a nice guy and Sophia loves him for it. |
| 187 | * TookALevelInBadass: In the specials, she was a NeutralFemale. In the series, she leads the mission to rescue Cedric, braves an old, abandoned house with Melissa and outperforms almost everyone in the Forest Games. |

| 197 | * BigFriendlyDog: Definitely. |
| 198 | * CharacterDevelopment: Originally portrayed as slow and dimwitted in the original specials, he quickly became one of the smartest characters in the series, assisting with the Evergreen Standard's technical needs, running the Blue Spruce Café, and having a black belt in martial arts. |
| 199 | * EyesOutOfSight: He has grey fur completely obscuring his eyes. The only time his [[BlackBeadEyes eyes]] are seen is in ''The Raccoons On Ice'', but only for a few frames. |

| 222 | * TenMinuteRetirement: Years of smoking and stress finally catch up to him in "Go For Gold!", forcing him to retire for his health. However, by the end of the episode, he's back in his old position, albeit with his son Cedric sharing it to ease the burden it would put on him. |
| 223 | * AardvarkTrunks |
| 224 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He only wears a blue scarf. |
| 225 | * AddedAlliterativeAppeal: He often talks like this. |
| 226 | * AlliterativeName: '''C'''yril '''S'''neer. |
| 227 | * AndThatLittleBoyWasMe: In "Trouble Shooter!", he tells Bentley the story of a kid who once ran away, and before he became a millionaire there were a lot of lost and lonely years before he made it. Bentley quickly and correctly guesses that the kid was Cyril. |
| 228 | * BadBoss: Was this to a degree early on. As he softens up, the pigs commit atrocities that are actually deserving of Cyril's frustration at times. What they do in "The One That Got Away" is a good example. |
| 229 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: In "Picture Perfect", he exploited Snag and tried to sell him to a Hollywood producer. He treated Snag better after the latter saved his life. |
| 230 | * BizarreTasteInFood: In "The Chips Are Down!" Cyril's potato chip company is struggling, likely due to the weird flavors that Cyril personally likes. Known flavors include turnip and sardine, fried egg and broccoli, sour cream and liver, and cinnamon and lima bean. |
| 231 | * CharacterDevelopment: The most notable case in the series; from a corrupt JerkAss to a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. |
| 232 | * CheatedAngle: Regardless of whether the right or left side of his head is facing the camera, Cyril's cigar and gold tooth will be drawn to appear on that side. While this could be explained by Cyril simply having two gold teeth, it's a little jarring to see the cigar change sides when Cyril turns his head in any given shot. |
| 233 | * CigarChomper: He's permanently seen with a cigar between his teeth. However, Cyril has made no bones that he keeps that habit up only due to nicotine addiction, and in the GrandFinale, he has another health emergency that is serious enough for him to retire and it is obvious his smoking aggravated his condition. |
| 234 | * CommonalityConnection: One of the things which attracted him to his wife was how good she was with money. |
| 235 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: In the early seasons. Not [[SubvertedTrope so much]] [[CharacterDevelopment as the show progresses]]. |
| 236 | * DeathByMaterialism: Averted, on numerous occasions. Many an episode features Cyril going after a treasure or valuable object, wanting to increase his wealth. However, as greedy as Cyril is, at the moment of truth, he will decide to abandon his quest in order to save his own life, or the life of Cedric, showing that he's not completely blinded by greed. |
| 237 | * DoorstopBaby: [[spoiler:Implied. Cyril is adopted, and he doesn't appear to know who his real parents are, which explains why he evicted his own mother.]] |
| 238 | * EnemyCompassion: Even though the Raccoons are considered his enemies, there are times when he's willing to help them out during their times of hardship. |
| 239 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even at his nastiest early on in the series, he always loved his son, Cedric. |
| 240 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Throughout the series, Cyril has lines he will not cross when it comes to making profits and, more than once, he makes sacrifices for the greater good, especially when it comes to his son, Cedric. It gets to the point where, in the later seasons, the 'evil' part [[AntiHero is practically gone]]. |
| 241 | ** It shows in ''The One That Got Away''. He is devastated about losing a beloved fishing pond to illegally dumped toxic waste. He eventually finds out the pigs did it as part of a moonlighting job, simply because they needed money. His response? |
| 242 | -->'''Cyril''':[[spoiler: You want money? Here! Here's lots of money! Take it all! Take some more! Just give me back the fishing hole! Can you do that? ''Can you give me a price on that? '''Can you?!''''']] |
| 243 | * {{Flanderization}}: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Whilst his lust for profits/money is a recurring trait, the early seasons are when it's at its peak. |
| 244 | * GoldToothOfWealth: He's enormously wealthy and has two gold teeth in his upper jaw. |
| 245 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: Later into the series, Cyril stopped being nearly as corrupt as he was before. |
| 246 | * IGaveMyWord: An early hint that Cyril [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold wasn't completely rotten]] was that he had a strict matter of pride about keeping promises. This appears in "Going It Alone!" when it's revealed that he gave his word to protect a statue in memorial to a relative of his who gave away all of his money to charitable causes. |
| 247 | * KarmicJackpot: The nicer Cyril got in the series, the more his luck improved because of his proper moral choices. |
| 248 | * KickTheDog: Amongst most of his actions in the early episodes, he literally does this to his pet dog, Snag. |
| 249 | * LargeHam: Just hear him talk or [[EvilLaugh laugh]]! |
| 250 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He received both sides of the karma [[IncrediblyLamePun coin]] throughout the series. See KarmicJackpot above. |
| 251 | * LaughablyEvil: In the early seasons, he was a corrupt jerk but ''very'' funny. |
| 252 | * MeaningfulName: Cyril ''[[EvilGloating Sneer]]''. |
| 253 | * MoralityPet: In the later seasons Lisa and Bentley appear to be this for him, but it's very well known he always loved his son Cedric Sneer. |
| 254 | * PapaWolf: If Cedric comes to harm, he will roast anyone responsible. |
| 255 | * ReformedButNotTamed: While he does become a better person, his greed and dishonesty never completely go away. |
| 256 | * SmokingIsNotCool: His cigar habit is consistently portrayed as unpleasant and unhealthy; at one point, he says he wants to quit but can't muster up the willpower. Eventually, his smoking combined with the stress of his job give him health problems serious enough that he's forced to retire; while he does [[TenMinuteRetirement get his position back when his health improves somewhat]], he needs Cedric to help him shoulder the burden. |
| 257 | * TookALevelInKindness: As part of his CharacterDevelopment. |
| 258 | * VillainousGoldTooth: He's a CorruptCorporateExecutive who's an enemy to the Raccoons, [[TookALevelInKindness at least in the early seasons]]. He has two gold upper teeth, one on each side of his mouth. |

| 267 | * BewareOfViciousDog: He's hostile to everyone except for his owners, who he genuinely loves. |
| 268 | * BigEater: He has to be goaded with doggy treats to do any tricks. |
| 269 | * CartoonCreature: Snag's breed is a Bluepoint Ridgeback Retriever. However, he does not resemble any actual breed of Ridgeback or Retriever. He is also the only made-up creature to exist within the series. |
| 270 | * MixAndMatchCritters: Part-dog, part-aardvark. |
| 271 | * MoralityPet: Even though he's an actual pet, the Sneers are this to him, particularly Cedric. In "Picture Perfect" he saves Cedric from a fire, and later in the episode, despite the fact that Cyril exploited him and tried to sell him to Hollywood, he drags Cyril out from beneath a fallen tree. |
| 272 | * UncattyResemblance: He has the Sneers' nose. |
| 273 | * TheUnintelligible: In a similar fashion to Broo, Snag can only growl or make [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Muttley-like]] snickering sounds. |

| 285 | * ButtMonkey: Though they bring it on themselves in the later seasons. |
| 286 | ** Pig Three can be seen as a Butt-Monkey to his own brothers. He tends to be the most timid and inept of the three, and the other two aren't afraid to boss him around from time to time. |
| 287 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: Earlier on, they were interchangeable, but they soon had different personalities to go along with their individual voices. Pig One always came up with the ideas. |
| 288 | * EasilyForgiven: The pigs have done plenty of stupid things over the seasons, but they rarely get much more punishment than either a scolding, or having to clean up whatever mess they made. Tends to overlap with UltimateJobSecurity (below). |
| 289 | * {{Expy}}: They're loosely based on Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs. |
| 290 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: They wear blue newsboy-like caps and blue-and-turquoise striped sweaters. |

| 292 | * [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone My God, What Have We Done?]]: [[spoiler: They unknowingly contribute to polluting the waterhole. When they realise what they've done, they're utterly guilt stricken]]. |
| 293 | * NoNameGiven: Subverted, while they are very rarely addressed by name, they are in fact called Floyd, Lloyd and Lloyd. Fanon has one of the Lloyds named Boyd. Some say that all three pigs are named Lloyd. |
| 294 | * OneSteveLimit: Defied, see above. |
| 295 | * UltimateJobSecurity: It doesn't seem to matter how badly their shenanigans end up harming Cyril financially, he still keeps them around. The one time that Cyril ''did'' fire the pigs, he later felt regret and gave them back their jobs, albeit with docked pay. |
| 296 | * YesMan: At least, in the earlier seasons. They try to defy Cyril later on. |

| 336 | * EverythingIsBigInTexas: He's one of the taller characters on the show, speaks with a Texan accent and wears the hat, bolo tie and boots commonly associated with that state. |

| 344 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A wealthy entrepreneur, Knox will often come to do business with members of the cast. These business dealing will regularly suffer a setback, often as a result of circumstances beyond the other party's control, causing them to fear Knox will cancel said deal, but Knox is usually understanding and willing to overlook these issues. Examples: Cyril is trying to sell Knox a secure vault and locks an escape artist inside to prove how secure it is. The escape artist, well, escapes, and Cyril fears the deal is sunk. However, Knox is still willing to buy the vault. In another episode, Knox gives George Raccoon a cooking show, willing to hire him long-term if the pilot episode goes well. The episode devolves into a food fight, yet Knox still hires George. |

| 366 | * MeaningfulName: Milton ''Midas'' wants nothing more than to increase his wealth, whatever the cost. |
| 367 | * MoreHateableMinorVillain: He only appeared in three episodes, two of which he had a major role in, but he was one of the vilest villains in the show, lacking the redeeming qualities of most of the other antagonists and crossing lines they wouldn't. |
| 368 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Carlson based his voice on that of Creator/WCFields. |
