7	!!{{Trope}}s shared by all/some of the Main Characters
8	[[foldercontrol]]

10	[[folder:General]]
11	* BadassCrew: They certainly are in the "Garfield's Defense" games. They went and helped Garfield attack the aliens without fear (even Wade!).
12	* FeatherFingers and ToothyBird: Roy, Wade, Booker, most likely Sheldon, and minor bird characters as well.
13	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Can you say any of the farm animals are considered 'normal'? You got a pig whose imagination can come to life and take others with him. A loud-mouth rooster that likes to play pranks. A wacky duck that's afraid of nearly everything. A sheep who's a grumpy CuteBruiser and her brother who's ditzy (a GeniusDitz in the cartoon). A chick who chases after a worm, coyote-road runner style. An intelligent chick who lives in his egg. A puppy who thinks he's a ferocious dog. Even Blue the cat is strange in her own right. Her bio said she's mystic and mysterious.
14	* TokenEvilTeammate: Roy and Lanolin are the only unpleasant people on the farm and can be abusive and mean. They verge a bit more into JerkWithAHeartOfGold territory in the TV show however.
15	* TwoGirlsToATeam: Abrasive Lanolin Sheep and kind, intelligent Blue the cat. Though that was once Blue came into the picture... and before she was [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Chucked]]. Could've been subverted, had they decided to add in scrapped character Jodie the horse (look up the trivia section).

21	[[caption-width-right:250:]]
22	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GreggBerger
23	* TheAllegedBoss: He's usually a "4" but sometimes a "2". Given how much abuse he takes from the other animals, it's easy to think his seniority doesn't go beyond being TeamMom[=/=]TeamDad. But a couple of times in the cartoon, he has reached his breaking point and reminded them, he's in charge, and if they go too far, he can kick them out. After once suffering a barrage of insults from Roy, Orson finally snapped and angrily fired him on the spot, only relenting when his replacement proved even worse. Given the nature of their relationship, Roy treated it more like a falling out between friends than a firing, just going off and brooding for a few hours instead of looking for another job/place to live. In one instance, Roy was looking for another job, indicating that he may be the boss [[AnimatedActors off the set as well]].
24	* ArbitrarySkepticism: He tends not to believe in some things (until proven otherwise) despite seeing plenty of weirdness. This is only sometimes. Oddly enough, he has moments of SuperGullible, where he was tricked into believing that cheese danishes were alien eggs.
25	* BenevolentBoss: He's often a kind boss to the other animals.
26	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Orson is an affable, friendly boss and friend to the animals, but when pushed too far, he will snap and fight back if necessary. See The Alleged Boss above. Even when he doesn't pull rank, he can fight back by using his smarts and giving Roy a taste of his own medicine, like in the "Grabbity" episode where Orson caught Roy pranking Wade into thinking the law of "grabbity" had been repealed. Orson used his imagination powers to freak Roy out into thinking he was floating away. He claimed he was just explaining the importance of gravity, but the trollish grins during the ImagineSpot suggested otherwise. Another time he got Roy back by not getting him back, the others were confused until Roy's mind creating a SelfInflictedHell made it obvious.
27	* {{Bookworm}}: He also had EncyclopaedicKnowledge because of the books in the few out of print US Acres storybooks.
28	* CampStraight: Downplayed. There's teasing between him and Lanolin, and look below ChildhoodFriendRomance. Also there's [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1987/03/13 this strip]].
29	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: In the cartoon "Stark Raven Mad", Orson was in love (and still is to this day) with a pig girl name [[TheLostLenore Lenore]], but then at the age of four, Lenore had to move away and couldn't see Orson anymore which left him brokenhearted (even to this day). Although in fairness, it's mainly a reference to the original poem, since she is never mentioned again.
30	* DeadpanSnarker: Yes, Orson is capable of sarcasm, especially when he's around [[CowardlyLion Wade]].
31	* HerCodeNameWasMarySue: In several of his fantasies, such as Power Pig and Double-O-Orson.
32	* {{Hypocrite}} and HypocriticalHumor: There are moments when he gets like that. For example in the episode, "The Impractical Joker", when the other animals complain to him about Roy insulting them with a joke book, Orson tells them to just ignore it, they're harmless. But when Roy does it to Orson, he fires him from the farm. The other animals ([[VitriolicBestBuds even Wade]]) thought firing Roy was too far.
33	** HypocrisyNod: Though when called out on it, he admits, "I guess that's when it wasn't about me."
34	* ImagineSpotting: Orson's imagination is so powerful the other characters somehow get transported into his fantasies.
35	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Orson's and cartoon!Bo's passive, understanding and easygoing Feminine Boys to Lanolin's loud, aggressive, and grumpy Masculine Girl.
36	* MeaningfulName: "Orson" sounds like the word "porcine", meaning "pig-like", befitting a pig. Also named after Orson Welles, a large man known for directing Citizen Kane.
37	* MrImagination: The stuff he imagines can tend to come to life.
38	* NiceGuy: When not dealing with the antics of his friends, Orson is pretty decent.
39	* NotSoAboveItAll: At least 1/3 of the time, he joins in on the zaniness, and sometimes he's the one that sets the zaniness in motion.
40	* OddNameOut: Unlike his brothers, he does not have a name that ends in "rt".
41	* OnlySaneByComparison: Orson (usually) is the more level-headed of the zany animals, yet even he is more "cartoony" than the far more realistic domestic sitcom world of Garfield, Odie, and Jon.
42	* OnlySaneMan: He often takes this role when his friends are unbalanced, since he is TheLeader after all. Sometimes when he doesn't take this role, it's Lanolin.
43	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He will help out the animals with their problems and understand them.
44	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to both Roy and Wade's red but the red to Bo's blue in the cartoon. He's the Blue to Bo's {{Keet}}-Red in the comics.
45	* StraightMan: As his Bio says.
46	* TeamMom (occasionally a TeamDad)
47	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pig slop, but he admits he'd rather have pizza.
48	* VagueAge: The opening strips treat him like a young piglet, though he acts more like a senior of the group later on despite his size and appearance not altering much. Furthered in the cartoons where he has a matured voice courtesy of Gregg Berger.
49	* WhatTheHellHero: There are times when he does means well and at least regrets his mistakes afterwards and sometimes tries to fix it. Then there are times when he's this trope. One example is in "Goody-go-Round" when Orson found nearly everyone was fighting and insulting each other. Orson asked what was wrong, but instead of letting them answer, he just goes and insults them, even Sheldon (who wasn't even involved in the fight!). [[FlatWhat Uh, what?]] He's especially this in the comic version.

55	[[caption-width-right:250:"[Practical jokes aren't] supposed to be nice. They're supposed to be ''funny!''"]]
56	->'''Voiced by:''' Thom Huge
57	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The ''U.S. Acres'' segment on ''Garfield and Friends'' had him debut with the rest of the cast, when the comic strip didn't have him appear until the April 14, 1986 strip.
58	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Sort of. Roy's still a loudmouthed {{Troll}} in ''Garfield and Friends'', but the stories are longer and morals are more prevalent, so a nicer side of him does show at times, and he's more of a prankster. Especially in the later seasons where he shows moments of being genuinely nice.
59	* AlliterativeName: If his name Roy Rooster didn't already clue you in.
60	* AntiHero: "Disney" type in the cartoon version. Though it seems to be in the lower scale at times in the comic version.
61	* BerserkButton: He reacts badly to not being addressed by his name, if [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1987/07/24 this strip]] is any indication.
62	* BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the comic strip (and sometimes the cartoon [[AdaptationalNiceGuy due to being kinder]]).
63	* BoisterousBruiser: When Cartoon Roy puts his mind to it, he can really pack a punch on the enemies. In "Peanut-Brained Rooster", he manage to beat up all three of Orson's brothers, when he was obsessed with peanuts. And in [[spoiler:"Uncle Roy to the rescue", he beats up the weasel, while saving his niece.]] He usually uses other tactics however, to stop the enemies, such as his pranks.
64	* BoisterousWeakling: Usually in the comics. Roy will talk down on Lanolin and act all tough, but has no physical action as much as her [[CurbStompBattle and will always learn the hard way]].
65	* BullyingTheDragon: Sometimes earns harsh retribution for trolling Lanolin. He's also heckled Orson enough to break his Alleged Boss routine and get threatened with unemployment.
66	* ButtMonkey: In the two cartoon episodes where he quits the farm and works with the Buddy Bears (as their designated [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong disagreeing companion]]).
67	** He can also be this outside those two episodes. Justified because, pretty much always, [[LaserGuidedKarma he had it coming]].
68	* TheChewToy: Because he deserves it.
69	* CockADoodleDawn: Through he usually uses his horn to wake people up.
70	* CockyRooster: He tends to play mean-spirited pranks on the other farm animals, such as waking them up with his loud horn, and often ending up in a fight with Lanolin Sheep, which she always ends up winning.
71	* ChasteToons: In season 6, he got a visit from his niece, Chloe.
72	** PapaWolf: [[spoiler:In "Uncle Roy to the rescue", [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he beats up the weasel]] for kidnapping his niece and trying to eat her.]]
73	* DeadpanSnarker: He'll pull off dry remarks, especially when something bad happens to him.
74	* DoNotCallMePaul: Averted in the strips. Roy hates when Lanolin calls him "Bird" instead of calling him by name. [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1987/07/24 In this strip]], in response to Roy asking her to call him by name, she called him "Ray". He was upset.
75	* EveryoneHasStandards: Roy acknowledges the fact that Orson's brothers are rotten jerks. More rotten than he could ever be. He may be a self-centered jerk who insults everyone, but he's not a bully...he would much rather prank the other animals rather than actually harm them.
76	* {{Flanderization}}: In the comics, his appearances of early 1986 had him with much more mellowed down jerkish tendencies and his prankster aspect merely started out with waking up other farm animals with his horn. These aspects were treated light-heartedly harmless and were not as much a core aspect of his personality. By 1988, he pretty much exists as a full on {{Troll}} for the farm. It kind of went in reverse in the show where he TookALevelInKindness.
77	* FriendToAllChildren: Despite being an arrogant jerk, he does care about children's safety as shown in the episode, "Big Bad Buddy Bird" where he warns children about [[AntiRoleModel the Buddy Bears]] being terrible role models.
78	--> '''Roy''': Kids, don't listen to any of this. These bears are dangerous. You should have opinions of your own! You should think and decide and not do what everyone else does! (the bears grab him) Use your own mind! Don't do what your friends do just because they're doing it, HAVE A BRAIN OF YOUR OWN! LET GO OF ME! THE GROUP ISN'T ALWAYS RIGHT!
79	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mostly in the cartoons though, he's a self-centered arrogant prankster, but he is not a bully and will often use these very qualities to help his friends out of trouble and has moments of remorse when he feels he might have gone a bit too far or when it's gotten one of his friends (usually Orson or Wade) genuinely mad at him.
80	* JerkassHasAPoint: In "How Now, Stolen Cow?", Orson is too engrossed in reading a spy novel to milk Bossy the Cow like Lanolin wanted him to, and doesn't pay attention to Roy when he tries to remind him of it. Roy decides to play a joke on Orson by taking Bossy and setting up a fake mystery for him to solve. Near the end of the episode, when Orson and Bo find out that it was Roy who took Bossy, Roy points out that he wouldn't have taken Bossy if Orson had just milked her like he was supposed to instead of reading his spy novel, something that Bo has to agree with. Since Roy also milked Bossy for Orson, Orson and Bo decide that it wouldn't be fair to have him arrested despite him having stolen Bossy, so they decide to put him on trial instead.
81	* KarmicButtMonkey: He often suffers humiliation or injuries, usually at the hands of Lanolin or his pranks backfiring on him, sometimes being temporarily kicked off the farm, though he's usually a deserving victim due to being a jerkish {{Troll}}.
82	* {{Leitmotif}}: He has his theme tune when he appears which is Schumann's 'The Merry Peasant'
83	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He once thought his sneeze powder killed Sheldon. He spent the rest of the episode in guilt-ridden shock until Sheldon turned out to be okay and them hugged him with a loving glomp to celebrate.
84	* NotAMorningPerson: He gets up to do his job, waking people up, usually with his horn... then goes back to sleep. And besides a love/hate relationship with Wade, he also has one with his [[RingRingCRUNCH alarm clock]]. In some episodes of the cartoon, Roy simply has a recorded version of the wake-up call to play so he won't even have to wake up.
85	* OddFriendship: With Wade, especially later on in the show.
86	* ThePrankster: He likes to make schemes and pull pranks at people and his friends, though sometimes, his karma catches up to him. It mostly depends on who he pranks.
87	* RealMenWearPink: In "Orson's Diner", he's shown to be knitting a whole sweater.
88	* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Orson and Bo's blue.
89	* RollerbladeGood: In the "Garfield's Defense" games, he uses his skates to attack the alien monsters.
90	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: His Manly Man to... the rest of the adult males' Sensitive Guy, but especially Wade's.
91	* SitcomArchNemesis: To Lanolin, his obnoxious humour clashing with her ugly temperament. More prominent in the comics, though did occur in the cartoons to a lesser degree.
92	* SmallNameBigEgo: Through, in the cartoon, he does happen to be talented, he really does let that go to his head.
93	* TeamRocketWins: Roy was nearly always on the receiving end in his bouts against Lanolin. He did get the last laugh in one Sunday strip however, when the two get into a crow/bleat match and Roy blasts her with a speaker system. Incidentally this ended up one of the first Quickies in ''Garfield and Friends''.
94	-->'''Lanolin:''' Not fair!
95	-->'''Roy:''' Welcome to the 20th century, fuzz face.
96	* TemptingFate: Trolling Lanolin or not watching what he says to/around her tends to backfire on him. Also, trolling Orson can result in this (even when he doesn't step out of Alleged Boss mode, Orson's smart enough to really mess with Roy in return).
97	* TokenEvilTeammate: Out of the main cast, Roy seems to be the only devious, scheming, and mean-spirited character on the farm.
98	* TookALevelInJerkass: In the comics, unfortunately. Check {{Flanderization}} above .
99	* TookALevelInKindness: While his Comic version took a turn for the worse and got crueler, Cartoon Roy took a turn for the better and got nicer. Even more than the earlier seasons. He's still a mischievous prankster of course, but in the later seasons, there were several episodes, where he wasn't even trying to make pranks or cause much trouble. In one episode, "Who Done It?" he was saying "Hi!" to one of the dog brothers and being friendly and in "Badtime Story" he (like his friends) just wanted to read a story to Booker and Sheldon. Hmmm...Must have been from hanging out with [[MoralityPet Wade so much.]]
100	* {{Tsundere}}: (Non-physically abusive Harsh Type) He's mainly this to Wade. He's shown deredere moments to him even if he wouldn't admit it and Wade seems pretty well aware of it.
101	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He's not a bully, but he’s still an arrogant, rude, and assholish prankster who constantly likes playing jokes on his friends and usually gets his repercussions that serves him right. Despite that, he can tell when he’s gone too far and doesn’t mean any actual harm and will immediately pull the plug on any prank where someone could get hurt as a result.
102	* VitriolicBestBuds: He's pretty much this to the cast. Roy's definitely this with Wade, especially in the cartoon version. He's always making pranks to scare Wade, though he's never usually physically abusive of him (and Wade was starting to catch on to him in the later seasons) and he really does care about Wade in his own "Roy Rooster" way. Other times, they're arguing and there are other times when they actually act like friends. They had many love/hate friendship moments that leads to funny moments. Over the seasons, their relationship evolved to the point where they had the closest friendship with each other, besides with Orson.

106	!!Wade Duck
107	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wade_image_17110432_1024x.jpg]]
108	[[caption-width-right:250:"I'm sorry, Orson! I'm afraid of ''everything!''"]]
109	->'''Voiced by:''' Howard Morris
110	* AbsurdPhobia: FAR too many to count. Name anything innocuous or harmless and chances are good Wade has worried about it posing a threat at one point. One exception was him not fearing a penguin, giving it a gentle tap on the head (it was an ImagineSpot, but still).
111	* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: His only article of clothing is an inner tube.
112	* AccidentalHero: Occasionally, Wade could end up accidentally saving the day. One example is "Flop Goes the Weasel", where he accidentally saved the chickens from the weasel.
113	* AcrophobicBird: He's a duck, that's afraid of heights and flying.
114	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He didn't appear in the comic strip until the August 4, 1986 strip, while ''Garfield and Friends'' made him an established member of the main cast from the very start, even giving him a major role in the first ''U.S. Acres'' segment "Wanted: Wade".
115	* BecomingTheMask: Happened to him in "Snow Wade and the 77 Dwarves"...
116	* BornUnlucky: One of the main reasons in the strip for his paranoia and depression. This was even noted by Orson in an episode where a feather caused a horrifying chain reaction. Orson was so freaked out that he started acting like Wade for the remainder of the episode.
117	* ButtMonkey: Bad luck just happens to him for no reason.
118	* CloudCuckoolander: He has shades of this.
119	* CowardlyLion: That's what he's known for. A cowardly craven duck, however, he can show to have courage and face his fears, when he puts his mind to it. And at times, when his friends are in trouble, he tends to put his fears aside and help them. In "Rainy Day Robot", he even forgot at first, that he's afraid of rain, [[FriendshipMoment when hanging out with Roy.]]
120	* CrossCastRole: Wade's usually a victim of this in the fairy tale themed episodes. This may be because there's no one else around to fit this role to play TheIngenue, and the only main female character, Lanolin, is more suited for characters like WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}. Wade's best-known example of this trope is in "Snow Wade and the 77 Dwarves".
121	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Roy's able to occasionally bring this up in Wade, like [[http://garfield.com/us-acres/1986-09-29 when he woke the gang up]] [[http://garfield.com/us-acres/1986-10-02 too many times.]]
122	** In "Garfield's Defense 2", he uses a SIGN POST to attack the alien monsters in some of the level.
123	* DeadpanSnarker: Not to Orson's or Roy's level, but he is capable of pulling sarcastic remarks, especially if it's something about his fear.
124	* DisembodiedEyebrows: He has eyebrows that float above his head.
125	* TheDitz: There are times when he just doesn't think and he easily gets tricked by Roy's pranks and PaperThinDisguise.
126	-->'''Wade:''' You tricked me!
127	-->'''Roy:''' You were stupid enough to let me trick you!
128	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1986/08/04 Wade made his debut by running in fear and screaming "Arrrgh!"]]
129	-->'''Orson:''' Was that my imagination or did a duck with an inner tube just race in out of the rain?
130	-->'''Wade:''' Duck? Inner tube?! Oh-no! Where?!
131	-->'''Orson:''' And does he appear a bit nervous?
132	* ExpressiveAccessory: The duck head on his inner tube always matches his expression.
133	* FluffyTamer: Believe it or not! In "Show Stoppers", [[spoiler:he has a big fearsome looking bull who he calls Fido, who ended up chasing Orson's mean brothers away.]]
134	* GratuitousSpanish: Occasionally speaks in this in the cartoon, with his most common phrase being "Uno momento!".
135	* IronicFear: [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1986/08/07 Wade's biggest fear is water.]]
136	-->'''Orson:''' I thought ducks liked water.
137	-->'''Wade:''' Well, just between you and me, ducks aren't very bright.
138	-->'''Orson:''' I think I know what you mean.
139	* KindheartedSimpleton: Although cartoon Wade's not very smart, he is shown to be good-hearted. The difference between him and and both versions of Bo was that cartoon Bo was a GeniusDitz and Comic strip Bo was a ditz, while both versions of Wade were near TooDumbToLive level.
140	* LovableCoward: Other than his usual cowardice and [[CloudCuckooLander strangeness]], he's a pretty likable guy.
141	* MeaningfulName: "Wade" as in swimming in shallow water, befitting an aquaphobic duck.
142	* NervousWreck: To go along with the cowardice.
143	* NiceGuy: He's not usually mean-spirited and is normally friendly with his friends or people he don't consider his enemies (if he's not freaking out first). [[VitriolicBestBuds With Roy on the other hand, it varies.]]
144	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he's not scared of something, everyone notices. One exception is when he wasn't afraid of a penguin in an ImagineSpot and gave him an affectionate pat on the head.
145	* OddFriendship: With Roy especially later on in the show.
146	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: His sensitive guy to Roy's manly man.
147	* TooDumbToLive: Happens a lot to him both the comic and cartoon version. Once, in "Snow Wade and the 77 dwarves", [[spoiler:he ate an apple even when he was told it was poison.]]
148	* {{Tsundere}}: Sweet Type with Roy, mainly in the cartoon version. He's nice and friendly with the rest of his friends. Arguing/competing against Roy is surprisingly the only thing(s) Wade's not usually afraid of!
149	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Roy, mainly in the cartoon version, to the point where over the seasons they had the closest friendship besides with Orson.
150	* WildTake: Well, being a craven cowardly duck, naturally, he will make cartoony reactions and then can run off going, "HEEEELLP!!"

157	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FrankWelker
158	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He and Sheldon are seen with the rest of the ''U.S. Acres'' cast from the very start in the ''Garfield and Friends'' segments, when the arc of Orson hatching them and taking them in didn't occur in the comic strip until May 1986.
159	* BadassAdorable: A small cute-looking chick who is shown to be very crafty when he plans something.
160	%%* BlackBeadEyes: As you can see, in the pic. They become SphereEyes whenever he reacts strongly, such as happiness, anger, surprise, fear, excitement...
161	* BrattyHalfPint: Occasionally mouthy or mischievous.
162	%%* CloserToEarth: In the later strips.
163	* HappilyAdopted: By Orson.
164	* KidsAreCruel: Not nearly as much of a JerkAss as Lanolin, but he still has moments where he shows a disturbing sadistic streak, particularly when it involves the worms.
165	* MeaningfulName: His name is due to Orson's love of books.
166	-->'''Booker:''' I'm just glad you don't love kumquats.
167	* MouthyBird: He started out with a regular beak, but ArtEvolution eventually made it look more like a nose.
168	%%* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Shelden's blue.
169	%%* RoadRunnerVsCoyote: He's the Coyote to the Worms' Road Runners.
170	* TeamRocketWins: Since the relation between Booker and the worms is RoadRunnerVsCoyote, with Booker himself playing the role of the coyote, any occasion where he manages to catch a worm is this trope. The November 2, 1987 strip, for example, has the worm [[AccordionMan become flattened into an accordion-like shape and played like an accordion by Booker]].
171	-->'''Worm''': I've never been so humiliated.
172	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Worms, which is why he always hunts them.

179	->'''Voiced by:''' Frank Welker
180	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He and his brother weren't introduced in the comic strip until May 1986, while the AnimatedAdaptation on ''Garfield and Friends'' had the two appear among the main cast from the very start.
181	* BrainyBaby: In both the strip and the show, it's stated he refused to hatch after reading some newspapers highlighting the world's disasters[[note]]specifically, wars, the economy, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the NBC fall schedule]][[/note]] before he was born. As Booker stated, he’s no ordinary egg.
182	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Not as much as Wade, but he definitely has some odd ideas and convictions that show up from time to time.
183	%%* CloserToEarth: In the later Strips.
184	* ClownCarBase: Sheldon's shell purportedly contains all modern conveniences, including a microwave, barbecue, pinball machine, ping-pong table, and enough space to hang pictures on the walls.
185	* DeadpanSnarker: Due to the wackiness with the other characters or certain situations, he can have moments, where he pulls a snarky comment.
186	* EggshellClothing: As you can see, he lives in his egg, with only his legs exposed. When Orson tried to hatch him in "Shell Shocked Sheldon", it was revealed that there was another shell under the original, meaning Sheldon would always be an egg with legs.
187	%%* HappilyAdopted: By Orson.
188	%%* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Under his eggshell.
189	* InnocentProdigy: He's intelligent and he really isn't as mischievous as his brother, Booker.
190	* InterspeciesRomance: [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1988/01/19 Sheldon hinted to like Blue.]]
191	* MeaningfulName: Booker suggested the name due to Sheldon staying in his shell. Orson liked it; Sheldon not so much.
192	* PuppyLove: He hinted to like Chloe in the episode "Snow Wade and the 77 Dwarfs, part 2".
193	%%* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Booker's red.

199	[[caption-width-right:250:]]
200	->'''Voiced by:''' Julie Payne
201	* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Wears a bow.
202	* ActionGirl: Despite being set up as a DamselInDistress, Lanolin often ends up rescuing Orson in his own fantasies.
203	* AdaptationDyeJob: A minor one is that her and Bo's eyelids are peach-ish in the comics and (presumably in Lanolin's case, given she wears blue eyeshadow) white in the cartoon. In the comics and web games her bow is pink while in the cartoon her bow is blue and matches her blue eyeshadow. Lanolin's bow is also blue on the back of the first compilation book.
204	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She and her brother had an EarlyBirdCameo in the July 20, 1986 strip before they made their official debuts in the January 15 and January 19 strips of 1987 and were properly introduced to Orson in the January 21 strip of that same year. The ''U.S. Acres'' cartoon that was a segment on ''Garfield and Friends'' had them appear as part of the cast at the very beginning, with the twin sheep having cameos in the first ''U.S. Acres'' episode "Wanted: Wade" and having their first speaking roles in the second ''U.S. Acres'' episode "Unidentified Flying Orson".
205	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Lanolin is still grumpy and standoffish in ''Garfield and Friends'', though CharacterDevelopment lead to more redeeming moments.
206	* AdaptationalWimp: To a degree, she's still a force to reckoned with in the cartoons, but not nearly as violent and fearsome as in the comics. This is especially prevailent in her rivalry with Roy, purely by virtue that there is a "rivalry" to speak of, anytime Roy was dumb enough to pick on her in the comics [[CurbstompBattle ended in swift brutality for him]], while in the cartoons Lanolin is usually limited to snark and pranks, making it more a two-way EscalatingWar.
207	* BadassAdorable: While she may be a grump, she's still a cute sheep who can mop the floor with anybody.
208	* BerserkButton: Being harassed by [[ThePrankster Roy]] will set her off immediately.
209	* BigSisterInstinct: Whenever Bo is in trouble, she’ll come to the rescue.
210	* BitchInSheepsClothing: {{Averted}}. Lanolin makes no secret of the fact that she's abrasive, despite literally being in sheep's clothing.
211	* ButtMonkey: Even she is not safe from slapstick as she gets pranked by Roy and once rolled her wool up her arm that it hurt.
212	* CuteBruiser: She's an adorable sheep, [[CurbStompBattle yet can easily win a fight]], as shown in the comics.
213	* DamselInDistress: In Orson's fantasies for him to rescue, but in reality, [[ActionGirl Lanolin would most likely end up rescuing Orson, instead.]]
214	* DeadpanSnarker: She can be pretty witty, especially at her brother [[TheDitz Bo]].
215	* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Typically has these in both the comic and the cartoon to show off her bad attitude. Bonus in that in the cartoon it shows off her bright blue eyeshadow, which matches her bow.
216	* EarsAsHair and GirlishPigtails: Her ear things resemble pigtails.
217	* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: She's the Grumpy to Bo's Gleeful. She's angry, abusive and mean, in contrast to most of the other characters.
218	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She may be pessimistic and grumpy, but there are times when she's nice to her brother and Orson.
219	* JerkassHasAPoint: In "It's a Wonderful Wade", when she tells Orson that she's worried about their crop of vegetables getting stolen, Orson assures her that he put Wade in charge of guarding the silo. Lanolin tells him that's exactly why she's worried. While she may be one of the series' rudest characters, she knows that Wade is an extreme coward who would likely hide from any thieves he would encounter instead of stopping them. Sure enough, the crop gets stolen by Gort, Wart, and Mort as a result of Wade's cowardice (fortunately, Wade manages to redeem himself by helping Orson recover the vegetables).
220	* KarmaHoudini: Compared to [[KarmicButtMonkey Roy]], Lanolin could regularly aggress the other animals without worry of consequences. This trope was downplayed in the cartoons due to a blend of AdaptationalNiceGuy and the show's more Aesop-friendly format.
221	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The loud, aggressive, and grumpy Masculine Girl to her brother's and Orson's passive, understanding and easygoing Feminine Boys.
222	* MeaningfulName: Lanolin is a type of wax secreted by sheep.
223	* MirroringFactions: Any rare time she and Roy are on the same page it usually concerns their curt pessimism towards the others.
224	* OnlySaneMan: When Orson's not himself and gets sucked into foolishness, she takes over his role.
225	* OutOfFocus: She appears the least often of the main characters, mainly in seasons six and seven.
226	* APigNamedPorkChop: She is named after an oil extracted from wool and used for soaps and cosmetics.
227	* PerpetualFrowner: In stark contrast with her twin brother. Though you wouldn't know from the picture.
228	* PetTheDog: Besides her brother Bo, there are times when she gives this to Orson, mainly in the cartoon.
229	* PolarOppositeTwins and SiblingYinYang: As shown in the other tropes, she's the more grumpy, brash sibling.
230	* RedOniBlueOni: She is the athletic, angry, and (mostly in the comics) aggressive Red to Bo's artistic, calm, and passive Blue.
231	* SitcomArchNemesis: To Roy, his obnoxious humour clashing with her ugly temperament. More prominent in the comics, though did occur in the cartoons to a lesser degree.
232	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Most of the time. In ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', she's the only female who regularly appeared in ''either'' short ([[DudeLooksLikeALady Nermal is male]], Liz only showed up occasionally, and Penelope was only in the last three seasons). The writers were going to add in Chloe, but they forgot. The strip had Blue, but she disappeared by the time the cartoon began.
233	* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's more Ice than 'sugar', but she does bring hints of 'sugar' moments towards Bo and (mainly in the cartoon) Orson.
234	* SupremeChef: In the cartoon, she's very good at making cakes and pies.
235	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The pigtails, the bow, and eyelashes. Blue eye-shadow in the cartoon.
236	* TokenEvilTeammate: Next to Roy, she isn't as nice and easy-going as the other characters and is grumpy, abusive, and mean.
237	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Lanolin is the aggressive, loud and athletic tomboy to Blue's polite and graceful girly girl.
238	* VagueAge: She's seemingly an adult, but a few strips have her refer to herself as a "girl lamb", and in at least one episode of the animated series she is referred to as "Lanolin Lamb" instead of being referred to as "Lanolin Sheep".

242	!!Bo Sheep
243	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bo_image_17110337_1024x.jpg]]
244	->'''Voiced by:''' Frank Welker
245	* AccentAdaptation: In the Latin American Spanish dub, he speaks with a thick Chilean accent, as the dub of the series was done in Chile. Also, he elongates the vowels a bit, in order for his voice to sound like a sheep.
246	* AdaptationDyeJob: Two minor ones. His and Lanolin's eyelids are peach-ish in the comics, but (presumably in Lanolin's case, since she wears blue eyeshadow) white in the cartoon. Also, while in most of the comics Bo's ears are peach-ish on the outside and white on the inside, in most of the cartoon his ears are peach-ish on the outside but instead pink on the inside.
247	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He and his sister didn't appear in the comic until an EarlyBirdCameo in the July 20, 1986 strip and made their official debuts in the January 15, 1987 and January 19, 1987 strips before being properly introduced to Orson in the January 21, 1987 strip. ''Garfield and Friends'' has them as established members of the cast at the very beginning, having them cameo in the first ''U.S. Acres'' episode "Wanted: Wade" before giving their first speaking roles in the next episode "Unidentified Flying Orson".
248	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the strip, he was TheDitz whose stupidity and hyper enthusiasm were his defining traits. In the cartoon, he was a mellow GeniusDitz who talked in a surfer accent.
249	** AdaptationalIntelligence: He was also made much smarter compared to the comic strip.
250	* BewareTheNiceOnes: As shown in the episode "Keeping Cool". He acted carefree when Orson's brothers' tried to pick on him. But ''DON'T'' threaten or mess with his friends! [[spoiler:He got rid of Orson's brothers by having them be dragged from a bus.]]
251	* CloudCuckooLander: Both versions of Bo tend to live in their own world.
252	* CuddleBug: [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1988/06/08 Here]] and especially [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1987/12/25 here]].
253	* TheDitz: In the strip. Although in the cartoon he wasn't as dumb as in the strip, he did have his random moments such as in the episode "Fast Food" where [[spoiler:he was cooking for his hungry, waiting friends, one strand of spaghetti/one pea at a time, much to their dismay]], or "The Bo Show" where he tries to enact ''everyone's role'' in the episode single handed.
254	* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Often has these in the cartoon to show off his mellowness and later on his relative dimness.
255	* GeniusDitz: His cartoon counterpart. He still has some dopey habits (especially from gags adapted from the comics), but seems much more erudite and laid back than he is in the comics.
256	* GRatedStoner: To an extent in the cartoon: he talks like a SurferDude with some hippie/'60s slang thrown in for good measure, is very artistic, loves rock music, and is incredibly chill and mellow.
257	* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: He's the Gleeful to Lanolin's Grumpy. He's friendly and easy-going, rarely ever losing his cool.
258	* {{Keet}}: In the strip, he's more lively and perky than in the cartoon.
259	* KindheartedSimpleton: He's the good, but not too bright sibling in the strip after all. Subverted in the cartoon while although, he is still good-hearted, he's more of a GeniusDitz.
260	* LiteralMinded: [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1988/12/31 Bo once went ice fishing and caught a block of ice]].
261	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Orson and cartoon Bo are the passive, understanding and easygoing Feminine Boys to Lanolin's loud, aggressive, and grumpy Masculine Girl.
262	* MellowFellow: In the cartoon, he's rather slow to anger. He doesn't even react to Orson's brothers unraveling his wool to the point he's nude below the waist in "Keeping Cool".
263	* NiceGuy: In stark contrast with his twin sister, he's very personable and friendly.
264	* PerpetualSmiler: In stark contrast with his twin sister, it is rare to not see him smiling.
265	* PolarOppositeTwins and SiblingYinYang: He's the more perky (calmer in the cartoon) and nicer one of the siblings.
266	* PunnyName: If Bo sheep didn't already clue you in, it's a pun for Bo Peep.
267	* RedOniBlueOni: He's the blue to the rest of the adult males' red in the cartoon, but he's the Red to Orson's Blue in the comic. His calm, passive, and artistic self also functions as the Blue to Lanolin's aggressive, angry, and athletic Red.
268	* {{Retcanon}}: Downplayed, but a bit of Bo's SurferDude slang seeped into the comics on odd occasions later on.
269	* SurferDude: In the cartoon, he speaks slang and like he's from the beach.
270	* SweetSheep: He's a friendly fellow, unlike his sister.
271	* TooDumbToLive: In the strip, but both versions of Wade would give him a run for his money.
272	* VagueAge: He appears to be an adult, but his age is uncertain by proxy of being Lanolin's twin, as a few strips have her refer to herself as a "girl lamb", and in at least one episode of the animated series she is referred to as "Lanolin Lamb" instead of being referred to as "Lanolin Sheep".
273	* VerbalTic: He ends many of his sentences with "man" in the cartoon.

279
280	* AdaptedOut: Neither of them appeared in ''Garfield and Friends'', though they were indirectly referenced a few times.
281	* AmazingTechniColorWildLife: Blue is one of the few (if only) main characters with an unrealistic color on her.
282	* BewareOfViciousDog: That's what Cody likes to imagine himself as, but he's really basically lovable.
283	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Blue is friendly and polite, but if Cody goes too far with chasing the animals, she won't hesitate to threaten him, [[https://garfield.com/usacres/1987/12/05 and he better listen.]]
284	* CatsAreMean: {{Averted}}. Blue is easily one of the friendliest and most considerate characters in the cast.
285	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Both of them disappeared in mid-1988, months before ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' premiered. They never appeared in the cartoon, likely due to the confusion that might have arisen from them being in the same series as Garfield and Odie, who don't speak; Cody did appear in a few of the ''U.S. Acres'' storybooks.
286	* CloserToEarth: Blue is smarter and more sensible than Cody.
287	* CoversAlwaysLie: Although Blue appeared at the back of the ''U.S. Acres'' storybooks, she never appeared ''in'' any of them except for the Christmas book, though she didn't appear at the back cover there.
288	* CuteKitten: Blue, in case it wasn't obvious.
289	* DogsAreDumb: Cody; he's friendly (albeit a bit boisterous), but not very bright.
290	* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: Blue, of course, is the girl kitty, and Cody the boy puppy.
291	%%* PreciousPuppy: Cody
292	%%* RedOniBlueOni: Cody's red to Blue's... blue.
293	* ShesAManInJapan: In the Norwegian translation of the strip, Blue is named "Tom" and is referred to as male.
294	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Blue is the polite and graceful girly girl to Lanolin's loud, aggressive, and athletic tomboy.
295	* TrueBlueFemininity: It's said in Blue's bio that she's graceful.

302	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Real-life worms are hermaphrodites but some have specified genders. They still need to become couples in order to perpetuate the species.
303	** Also, real worms don't have teeth.
304	%%zce* BullyingTheDragon:
305	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: It was raining and Estelle told Filbert he should do something about the hole in the roof. When he told her it was the front door, she told him he should then do something about the hole at the front door. Then he flat-out told her the front door ''was'' a hole and she said she wasn't in the mood for games.
306	* DemotedToExtra: In the cartoon.
307	* HappilyMarried: In the comic version, they always show some of the worms having families.
308	* {{Jerkass}}: The worms sometimes pick on Sheldon too, even when he hasn't even done anything to them.

320
321	->'''Voiced by:''' Frank Welker (Mort), Thom Huge (Gort), Howard Morris (Wart)
322	* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: All three of them tend to mispronounce the word "vegetables" as "veg-GEE-TAH-bules".
323	* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Their comic strip counterparts were present in the earlier strips before being phased out in the arc of Orson having to set out on his own, while their animated counterparts didn't appear on ''Garfield and Friends'' until "Keeping Cool", the ninth ''U.S. Acres'' episode.
324	* AscendedExtra: In the strip, they appeared only for the first three weeks, without names. On ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', they were frequently recurring villains.
325	* BigBrotherBully: They always picked on Orson even when he was a piglet and whenever they come by to visit.
326	* BigThinShortTrio: Gort is the big, Wart is the thin, and Mort is the short, but all three are much bigger than Orson by comparison.
327	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Despite being prominent antagonists on the show, they disappeared from the strip very early on.
328	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: They were nearly identical in the original comic strip, but the cartoon made them more diverse by making Mort the shortest, Wart the tallest with buck teeth and giving Gort yellow eyes as well as rounded teeth.
329	* TheDreaded: In their first few appearances on the cartoon, just saying "Your brothers are here" or some such was enough to send Orson into a panic. He adopted a more relaxed attitude towards them over time, though.
330	* EvilCounterpart: Like Bo in the cartoon, Wart seems to be the more laid back one of the trio, but he's still just as malicious as his other two brothers.
331	* EvilUncle: Booker and Sheldon aren't spared by their wrongdoings, and since they are Orson's older brothers and Booker and Sheldon are Orson's adoptive sons, that means Booker and Sheldon are technically Mort, Gort and Wart's nephews.
332	* FatBastard: They're fat and they awful bothers and thieves, to Orson and his friends.
333	* FatIdiot: For example, in the episode, "Mystery Guest", they were too stupid to realize the mystery guest was [[spoiler:Garfield]] despite the PaperThinDisguise.
334	* {{Jerkass}}: They're mean and nasty and whenever they're not (just) picking on Orson and sometimes his friends, they steal their crops and sometimes tie the farm animals up or lock them somewhere, so they won't get in their way.
335	* {{Leitmotif}}: Their appearances in the cartoon were often accompanied by ''In the Hall of the Mountain King''.
336	* NamedByTheAdaptation: They weren't given names in the comic strip version.

348	A weasel who is constantly trying to steal the chickens. He has also tried to eat Sheldon on occasion.

350	* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: He tends to place more emphasis on the second syllable of the word "chickens".
351	* BigEater: Implied to be this, given the quantity of chickens he (tries to) steal every time he appears.

353	* CanonForeigner: He was never in the strip.
354	* CardCarryingVillain: Complete with actual business cards.
355	* TheDreaded: The one that Wade fears the most. While Wade usually just runs away in panic, he stands in a shock stuttering the weasel's name for a long time, never seen with the Wolf, the Fox, or Orson's brothers.
356	* {{Leitmotif}}: His appearances are often accompanied by "Pop Goes the Weasel".
357	* NoNameGiven: He was never given a name. They just call him the weasel. [[SubvertedTrope However, a line in "Deja Vu" implies that "The Weasel"]] ''[[SubvertedTrope is]]'' [[SubvertedTrope his actual name.]]

369	[[caption-width-right:350:"We don't tolerate that kind of thing at (DA DUM!) The Network!"]]
370	->'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Meaney
371
372	Aloysius is a recurring character in the show's final season, who according to Mark Evanier is Orson's cousin. In his first appearance, he was hired as a substitute for Orson while he was away on vacation, but he later appeared in two other episodes as a studio accountant and the network executive of SUUS. He often nitpicks things that he does not find to his liking, from nursery rhymes having bad behavior he worries that kids will copy to people questioning his choices. He is often seen with a notepad and pencil he uses to write down information on.
373	* ActorAllusion: Being Kevin Meaney as a pig, Aloysius shares a few similarities with him:
374	** He said two of his catchphrases, "That's not right!" and "I don't care!" in the show.
375	** A running gag in his routines is that he would mock his parents. In Temp Trouble, [[spoiler: his mom appears to take him home for misbehaving, and she's voiced by Kevin Meaney with his voice electronically pitched up]].
376	** He also sang in his routines, and at the end of Kiddie Korner, Roy asks him to sing a song, claiming that his "magnificent singing voice is the only one that can do it justice". Aloysius responds to this by smiling and saying he does have the music in him.
377	* BigGuyLittleGuy: His short size makes him this to every other character he talks to on the show except for Booker and Sheldon. "Kiddie Korner" shows us that he's roughly the same size as [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Odie]].
378	* CanonForeigner: He never appeared in the strip.
379	* CatchPhrase: "That's not right!"
380	* CuttingCorners: In "The Discount of Monte Cristo", Orson tries to tell the story of ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' to Roy and Wade, but Aloysius is hired to keep him from going over the show's budget. Among the cuts Aloysius makes are firing the orchestra for Orson's musical number, firing the actors playing the bit characters (and having Roy and Wade take their places), using the same backgrounds for Edmond Dantes' jail cell and that of the prisoner next door, and having the backgrounds be uncolored. Eventually, Orson reaches his breaking point and Roy helps him get back at Aloysius by having him tell the story of Literature/RobinsonCrusoe with Aloysius in the title role. Aloysius ends up stranded on a desert island, and Orson, Roy, and Wade refuse to pay for any possible chance of him getting off it.
381	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He wears a green vest but no pants.
382	* InkSuitActor: He was voiced by Kevin Meaney and shares Meaney's CatchPhrase, "That's not right!"
383	* JerkAss: He's quick to give other characters demerits for petty reasons.
384	* TheNicknamer: For some reason, he never says any character's names and seems to only call the characters by their species (like calling Roy "Rooster" or Wade "the duck").
385	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Many times to mock ExecutiveMeddling or ScrewedByTheNetwork.
386	* OncePerEpisode: Episodes where he appears tend to have a few things that always happen, mostly in the post-Temp Trouble ones:
387	** Aloysius pulling something out of the back of his jacket.
388	** A strange, fart-like sound effect being played at some point.
389	** Aloysius referencing a TV show to describe a situation he's facing (''Series/{{Flipper}}'' in "The Discount of Monte Cristo" and ''Series/MasterpieceTheater'' in "Kiddie Korner".)
390	** Aloysius saying "Good, good!" whenever he likes something.
391	** Aloysius' hat coming off (usually when he's surprised or is jumping in anger, but in "Kiddie Korner", he took it off when he was mad at Orson).
392	** Roy calling him a nickname that teases him, usually plot-related ("pork belly" and "Mr. Demerit" in "Temp Trouble", "Mr. Cost Cutter" in "The Discount of Monte Cristo", and "Network Boy" in "Kiddie Korner"), [[spoiler: though he does eventually call him "Mr. Aloysius" in the latter episode]]. (one of the only two to appear in all three episodes).
393	** The characters coming up with a plan to get rid of him (the other running gag that appears in all 3 episodes):
394	*** "Temp Trouble": [[spoiler: Roy called his mom to come get him and tell him to clean his room]].
395	*** "The Discount Of Monte Cristo": [[spoiler: Orson reads ''Literature/RobinsonCrusoe'' with Aloysius as the titular role. Aloysius seems pleased, but reveals he's familiar with the story and asks for Friday and the rowboat to come rescue him, with Orson, Roy and Wade saying those items were "too expensive"]].
396	*** "Kiddie Korner": [[spoiler: Aloysius is asked to sing a nursery rhyme about himself, and the last line, "lemon meringue", causes him to realize that he will be hit with pies]].
397	** Before the characters go with the plan in the later episodes, Aloysius will be seen in some sort of office.
398	* PoliticalOvercorrectness: He does this to nursery rhymes in "Kiddie Korner", complaining about even the most minor details being offensive (like thinking "tuffet" is a naughty word). His characterization seems to be TheHorseshoeEffect personified (but very downplayed, as there's minimal reference to anything political).
