->''"The year, the present day. The place, Website/ThisVeryWiki."''

The host of the show, who knows historical dates down to the second and wear watches from his shoulder to his wrist. Voiced by Creator/FrankWelker.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin is dark, making his ethnicity ambiguous.
* CoolOldGuy: He brings several children along with him through the past to educate them about history.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: The above quote. Sometimes he switches it and says "the place..." first.
* MisterExposition: He explains everything about the eras of history he and the other characters visit.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In some sketches, he plays characters as imitations of Creator/BillCosby.

!!Big Fat Baby
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bigfatbaby_8972.jpg]]

Father Time's sidekick, and the reason why ''Histeria!'' was considered a GrossOutShow. He is an egg-shaped parody of Baby New Year with a very nasty habit of crapping his diaper. Voiced by Luke Ruegger (brother of Nathan and Cody Ruegger; son of Tom Ruegger)
----
* BringMyBrownPants: Regularly poops in his diaper.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: Comes off as this due to being egg-shaped and having no neck.
* {{Fartillery}}: The Kid Chorus uses him as this in "Big Fat Baby Theatre".
* ImprobableInfantSurvival: Seriously, look at what he can survive in ''The History of Poland'' sketch.
* PhraseCatcher: A historical figure will ask when was the last time somebody changed his diaper. One of the kids will say, "remember (famous historical event)? Before that."
* RunningGag: The kids request help changing Big Fat Baby's diaper, claiming the last time he had a clean diaper was before something that happened a long time ago.

!!Miss Information
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/missinfoatherdesk_44.jpg]]
->''"We're walkin', we're walkin', we're readin' the wiki page!"''

* CatchPhrase: ''(to tour group)'' "Stay together, people. We're walkin'... we're walkin'..."
* DumbBlonde: She has blonde hair and often gets her historical facts wrong.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Her appealing looks whenever she appears causes other characters to point out that they find her attractive, especially in her [[MsFanservice beach outfit]] with her midriff and legs exposed.
%%* {{Leitmotif}}: Has one.%%ZCE
* MeaningfulName: True to her name, she's mistaken about certain things and has to be corrected by other characters.
* MissXPun: Miss Information is supposed to be an informative tour guide, but she's dumb as bricks and often gives out wrong facts.
* PunnyName: Her name is a play on misinformation.

!!World's Oldest Woman
[[quoteright:326:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worldsoldestwoman_3306.JPG]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: An early version of the character actually appeared in a Chicken Boo sketch on ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: She's only ever known as the World's Oldest Woman.
* {{Expy}}: She is essentially a human version of [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Slappy Squirrel]]. Her theme song is even set to the same melody of Slappy's theme.
* FanDisservice: Her portrayals of Lady Godiva and Cleopatra in "A Tribute to Tyrants". The former actually follows the famous legend of Lady Godiva protesting against her husband Leofric's tax by riding horseback in the nude, while the latter has two occasions where she's in the tub and wants her back to be scrubbed by either Julius Caesar or Mark Antony.
* Really700YearsOld: She looks like your normal senior citizen, but is actually as old as time itself (she claims to have dated every man in history, starting with Adam in the Garden of Eden).

[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/loudyelljump_2.jpg]]

* CharacterCatchphrase: Often yells "What a grouch!" whenever someone is being extremely rude to him.
* HonestJohnsDealership: One episode was about him running dealerships of various historical things, like vacations in Pompeii.
* InkSuitActor: Based on his voice actor, Cody Ruegger, who according to his dad Tom, "tended to be the loudest kid on Earth".
* KarmicTrickster: If he sees someone doing evil to anyone, even his friends, he will subject the culprit with hilarious poetic justice. The Cree Indians, for instance, refused to leave the land and continued to hunt buffaloes, so Loud caused the buffaloes to charge at them, causing them to finally leave.
* MeaningfulName: As his first name would suggest, he constantly shouts his dialogue.
* NoIndoorVoice: Loud is, to quote the main page for this show, "more like 'Halfway across Manhattan Voice'". He even provides the image for this trope's Western Animation section.
* RunningGag: He likes to keep watch of things, silently muttering "See it, see it..." when it's visible and screaming "DON'T SEE IT!! DON'T SEE IT!!" when it disappears.
* TagalongKid: To the Super Writers.
* VolumetricMouth: He ''talks'' like this.

!!Froggo
[[quoteright:288:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/froggocute_724.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:288:"FeedMe!"]]

A short blond kid so named for his deep, frog-like voice. Voiced by Nathan Ruegger (brother of Cody and Luke Ruegger; son of Tom Ruegger)
----
* BigEater: He's got a huge appetite. Even the sketch concerning the Romans' vomitorium has him so hungry, he could ''throw up twice'' implying he's a stickler for food. Just make sure turnips aren't among the dishes.
* GadgeteerGenius: Often asks for some things...because he's a genius in making stuff and he's gonna do it ASAP.
* InnocentProdigy: He's very intelligent, but just as immature as the other children.
* LargeHam: When the Wright Brothers can't provide him with the tools he needs, his displeasure is over-the-top and melodramatic.
* MeaningfulName: His voice sounds like a frog croaking.
* OnlyOneName: He has no surname.
* PickyEater: "A turnip? Yick! Now I'm ''really'' sick!"
* VocalDissonance: He's a preteen kid with a voice that sounds like it should belong to a bullfrog the size of an ox.

[[caption-width-right:336: She is not amused either.]]

A melancholic blonde girl who almost always seem to be in a glum mood (except when singing). Voiced by Creator/LaraineNewman
----
* CharacterCatchphrase: "I'm not happy".
* TheEeyore: She's always melancholic.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Seen in "When America Was Young" where the animals come around her. She's also fond of them in return, to the point of trying to stop a hunter from destroying their habitats, only leaving when he bribes her with a cookie.
-->'''Charity:''' I will not let you devastate this innocent creature's home! I would rather die than let you ruin this land!
* IgnoringBySinging: She does this in the Rosa Parks sketch in "Heroes of Truth and Justice", because trying to stop Loud from singing "99 Bottles of Root Beer on the Wall" at the top of his lungs only causes him to forget where he was and start over.
-->'''Loud Kiddington:''' ♫ You take one down, pass it around; 27 bottles of Root Beer on the wall! 27 bottles of Root Beer on the wall, 27 bottles of Root Beer! ♫\\
'''Charity:''' ''[covering her ears]'' La-la-la-la-la, I'm not listening!
* LittleMissSnarker: Often makes serious, wry, and sometimes hilarious lines in a monotonic tone of voice. It's most prominent when she recounts the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UL8MCgwTlk history of Poland]].
* PunnyName: A play on "charity bazaar".

!!Aka Pella
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akabyamap.jpg]]
->''"What's the dilly-o with ''that?''"''
An African-American girl who is rather tomboyish and offers comedically timed insults to her friends every now and then. Voiced by Creator/CreeSummer
----
* CassandraTruth: During the Yalta Conference, her warnings about Stalin not [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Curtain keeping his hands off the Eastern Bloc go unheeded]].
* CharacterCatchphrase: "What's the dilly-o with that?"
* PunnyName: Her name is a play on ''a capella'', a term referring to a song sung without the addition of musical instruments.
* SassyBlackWoman: A {{downplayed}} version of the typical examples. She got the tomboyish, cheeky attitude with the occasional snark, but is overall rather amiable, sociable and not overtly overbearing.

!!Pepper Mills
[[quoteright:319:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peppermills4_5614.jpg]]
->''"Heeey, you're not Scooby-Doo! Gypola!"''
A hyperactive red-haired teenager who is constantly bugging people for their autographs. Voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille.
----
* CharacterCatchPhrase: "Ripoffski!" and "Gypola!" (which she sometimes says after getting autographs). She also says "Yuckosis!" when she sees someone doing something disgusting.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Can't get any nuttier if she confuses every historical figure she encounters with pop culture figures.
* GenkiGirl: She's downright excitable most of the time.
* GenderFlip: In one promo that proposed 'Hers'teria,' Pepper swaps various male-sounding suffixes with female ones, such as Thomas [="JefferDAUGHTER"=] (as opposed to "Jefferson"), the "fronteersWOmen" (as opposed to "frontiersmen"), and viQUEENS (as opposed to vikings).
* HiddenDepths: In spite of her tendency to mistake the historical figures she demands autographs from for famous pop culture icons, she is occasionally shown to know her facts about history and there are some episodes where she excitedly states her admiration towards a historical figure that she ''isn't'' mistaking for someone else.
* HistoricalCharacterConfusion: Has a habit of asking historical characters for their autograph, then realizing that she had mistaken them for someone else.
* ImYourBiggestFan: She wants the autograph of every historical figure she meets, though she always has no idea who they really are.
* {{Leitmotif}}: She is usually accompanied with a jazzy instrumental arrangement from her theme song.
* LoonyFan: Asks historical figures of their autographs and gets furious when she realizes too late that she's mistaken them for someone else.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "Heeey, you're not ___!" or "Wait a minute, you're not ___!"
* NoIndoorVoice: Like Loud, Pepper is quite prone to yelling a lot, but mostly when she's excited about something (usually meeting a historical figure that she thinks is a pop cultural celebrity).
* RunningGag: She constantly asks historical celebrities for their autographs, only to find out they're not the pop cultural celebrity she mistook them for.
* {{Squee}}: She often ends her sentences with a loud, high-pitched squeal when she's excited.

!!Toast
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toasthostinghisshow_9162.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:336:[[VideoGame/HotelMario You know what they say... all toasters toast this kid.]]]]
->''"Ask me if I care."''

A sunburned teenager who never seems to have a clue about what's going on around him, and never has any interest in the things his guest stars talk about. Voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He thinks that everything important has to revolve around surfing or rock music.
* OnlyOneName: He's only ever referred to as "Toast", and for that matter we're not even sure if Toast is [[NoNameGiven his real name]].
* TotallyRadical: He appears to be an {{Expy}} of ''Franchise/BillAndTed'' (fittingly enough).

!!Cho-Cho
[[quoteright:323:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chocho2_5817.jpg]]
->''"Hi mistah! Wanna buy a magazine?"''

An obsessive Asian salesgirl who refuses to leave her customers alone until they have bought something from her. She is almost always accompanied by Lucky Bob. Voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille.
----
* DreadfulMusician: [[DownplayedTrope While she's still pretty good at singing during the songs concerning historical things]], her appearance in the Rosa Parks sketch has her...well, less singing and more yelping and squawking to Toast's rocking out.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Chopsticks" can always be heard as background music whenever she speaks.... Eeeeyeah, that hasn't really aged well.

!!Lucky Bob
[[quoteright:274:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luckybobnatural_7457.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:274:Lucky Bob in his natural state.]]
->''"Yeth now!"''

Cho-Cho's slow-witted sidekick who likes quoting Ed [=McMahon=]. The"Underground Railroad" sketch on the episode "General Sherman's Campsite" explains that Lucky Bob was once kicked in the head by wild donkeys (and is called "Lucky Bob" because that only happened to him once), which would explain why he's such a drooling pinhead. Voiced by Creator/JeffBennett.
----
* TheDitz: He's a complete dunce.
* DumbBlonde: Gender-flipped, as he's a boy rather than a girl like the trope usually is.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A lot of his mannerisms were based on the late Ed [=McMahon=].
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Lucky Bob is physically modeled after ''WesternAnimation/TinyToons'' staff member Dan [=McQ=].

!!Pule Houser
[[quoteright:135:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pulehouser_4638.jpg]]
->''"Owww!"''
An obese boy with a penchant for eating. He commonly faces physical abuse and is prone to pitching fits. Voiced by Creator/FrankWelker.

* ButtMonkey: He gets hurt for comedic effect in just about every one of his appearances.

!!Susanna Susquahanna
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/susanna1_965.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:336:"[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail What isth the capital of Atheria?]]"]]
->''"We're foretht thervice thurveyors, thurveying the forethtth and ecothythtemth for thothiety."''
A Native American girl with a huge gap between her front teeth, which gives her great difficulty in pronouncing even her own name correctly. Voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille.
----
* ChildishToothGap: Causes her speech impediment.
* SpeechImpediment: She has a huge lisp (although not as big as Lucky Bob's), which gives her a hell of a time pronouncing her own name.

[[folder:Other Main Characters]]
!!Mr. Smartypants
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrsmartypantsonthedatinggame_7329.jpg]]

The smartest man in the world, but also so incredibly shy that he wears really tall pants with which to partially cover his face. Voiced by Creator/RobPaulsen.
----
%%* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* HammerSpace: He can apparently store anything inside his pants.
* HehHehYouSaidX: He often laughs whenever he says something that sounds inappropriate. One example is in "Inventors Hall of Fame, Part 1", where he chuckles every time Thomas Crapper's name is mentioned.
* MeaningfulName: "Smartypants" is a synonym for "know-it-all" and most of his body is covered by his pants.
* TheSmartGuy: He is said to be the smartest guy in the world.

!!Fetch
[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fetch_8518.jpg]]
Loud Kiddington's pet dog, so named for his love of fetching round objects. Voiced by Creator/FrankWelker.
----
* NonHumanSidekick: To Loud.
* ShoutOut: Resembles Hunter from ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'' (coincidentally, both this show and ''Road Rovers'' were on and off the air for about a year and were made by the same company), albeit a tad darker. WordOfGod said it was intentional!
* TalkingAnimal: He occasionally speaks, one instance being in "The Know-It-Alls" when he asks Rene Descartes to play fetch with him.

!!Chit Chatterson
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chitchatterson2_3099.jpg]]

An egotistical salesman with some sanity issues. Voiced by Creator/BillyWest.
----
* HonestJohnsDealership: He often appears offering his services to historical figures, only to inconvenience them.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He is a parody of Phil Silvers' Sergeant Bilko character.
* PerpetualSmiler: He is constantly grinning.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Is completely unaware of how shoddy his services are.

!!Bill Straitman
[[quoteright:313:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/billstraitman_1739.jpg]]

As his name implies, he is the straight foil to the other comedic characters. Can often be seen interviewing The World's Oldest Woman about the many historical events and people she's seen/been with. Voiced by James Wickline.
----
* MeaningfulName: He is the straight man to the other characters.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Based on Carl Reiner, specifically his role with Creator/MelBrooks in their "2,000 Year Old Man" routine.

!!Sammy Melman
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sammymelman_8360.jpg]]

A smarmy network executive. Voiced by Creator/RobPaulsen.
----
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's frequently under the delusion that his ideas are better than everyone else's.

!!Lydia Karaoke
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lydiaonphone_6925.jpg]]

The resident network censor who sometimes objects to whatever antics the rest of the cast gets up to. Voiced by Nora Dunn.
----
* ButtMonkey: Sometimes, she gets the worst treatment out of all the characters (particularly when she gets blasted by torpedos and discovers the real reason why "Damn the torpedoes" is an appropriate phrase, despite containing a word that's considered taboo on American children's TV).
* ExecutiveMeddling[[invoked]]: Whenever she interrupts a sketch over risque/gross/violent content. One episode had her interrupt Billy the Kid's kid show to complain that he's a violent criminal and his line asking the kids to get a six-shooter from yonder barn will lead to copycat incidents, then tells him that his kids' show can be salvaged if they make it appealing to the young female demographic, so she (briefly) turns him into a cowgirl.
* MediaWatchdog, MoralGuardian, PoliticalOvercorrectness: Her character and appearance on the show represents how network TV cartoons back in the mid-to-late 1990s were being subjected to censorship and ExecutiveMeddling (and her comic abuse is basically the creators taking potshots at the powers that be).
* ThinkOfTheCensors: Inverted; the main cast doesn't care if what they say or do is risqué, but Lydia does.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She doesn't care if her actions interfere with historical accuracy or otherwise prevent the show from being entertaining. She will not tolerate any material that people would find inappropriate to include on a children's show.

!!Sarah Coopersmithfitzwarengoldenheimerstein
[[quoteright:336:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sarahcoopersmithfitzwarengoldenheimerstein_4614.jpg]]
----
* {{Leitmotif}}: Always accompanied by Brahms's "Symphony No. 1 - Movement 4".
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: Her segments often ended with her saying "And may all your X be Y!"
* OverlyLongName: Just look at her last name!

!!Nostradamus
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nostradamus_7176.jpg]]
A professed seer who claims to be able to "predictate" the future, but often gets it wrong. Voiced by Paul Rugg
----
* LargeHam: For a seer, he's rather dramatic in his speech and actions, often because he's erratic and impatient.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Paul Rugg is using his Creator/JerryLewis-esque director voice from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.
* PerfectlyCromulentWord: He frequently says "predictiate" in place of "predict".
* VerbalTic: He frequently says "Shaddap!" between every other word he says.

!!Molly Pitcher

A woman who supposedly carried water to cannon crews during the American Revolutionary War. It's said that when her husband, one of the cannon crewmen, was wounded during the Battle of Monmouth, she took his place at the guns. Now, she tends to show up whenever anyone in the series needs or talks about water (It's either her or Montezuma, and you ''don't'' want that!). Voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille
----
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She's portrayed as being like Martha Stewart.
* RunningGag: Appears whenever anyone needs or talks about water.
* StepfordSmiler: Always have a big toothy grin, even when she's loading and firing canons. The real Molly Pitcher reacted to being shot at close enough for her skirt to be ripped by a bullet with only some mild annoyance at having extra mending to do, so not far from the truth.
