This is the list of ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' characters. There are some minor {{spoiler}}s ahead and, if you care, read with caution.
----
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:In General]]
* TheChewToy: They're characters in a slapstick cartoon. Do the math.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Between the four eponymous characters
** Oggy: Phlegmatic. The NiceGuy, who tends to be accomodating and get along with [[OneShotCharacter one-shot characters]]. He can be a bit indolent and lazy, but very dedicated with his loved ones;
** Dee Dee: Sanguine. The most immature and childish of the crew, but very energetic, lively, quirky and brave, as he never pulls himself back in front of a challenge;
** Joey: Choleric. The smart, strong-willed leader of the Cockroaches, but impatient and prone to [[HairTriggerTemper violent and irate outbursts]];
** Marky: Melancholic. The shy, patient and sensitive member of the group.
* GagNose: Oggy and Jack have red, round and rubbery jellybean-like noses, whereas the Cockroaches' bare some resemblances with their antennas, being black, long and pointy (except for Marky, who has a completely different set of antennas, but retains the same nose as the others). Both types are easily detachable and can be used as weapons or tools.
* OnlyOneName: Most, if not all, characters just have one name.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween:
** Nice: [[FriendToAllLivingThings Olivia]], [[NiceGuy Oggy]], [[CheerfulChild Piya]];
** Mean: [[FemmeFatale Lady K]], [[PsychopathicManchild The Cockroaches]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Bob]];
** In Between: [[HairTriggerTemper Jack]], [[SatelliteCharacter Monica]];
* {{Sadist}}: They sure enjoy hurting each other. {{Averted}} with Olivia.
* SilentSnarker: All characters will often point out whenever one of them strands into Cuckcoolander territory via gestures.
* TombstoneTeeth: Downplayed with everyone, who only display this when they're smiling, albeit played straight and blent with FangsAreEvil with Dee Dee, as it's an important and consistent part of his design.
* WhiteGloves: All animal characters sport white fur on their hands which resemble white gloves. Or they flat-out sport them.
[[/folder]]

!The Cat Duo
[[folder:General tropes]]
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Oggy's blue, while Jack is green.
* ButtMonkey: [[BuffoonishTomCat Both cats]] suffer a lot of AmusingInjuries, especially Oggy.
* FatAndSkinny: Downplayed, as Jack has a large frame and a somewhat muscular build, but he is still skinnier compared to Oggy.
* FurIsClothing: They sometimes reveal their underwear if their fur is removed.
* GagNose: Their fairly silly-looking noses, especially Oggy's, have supplied the show with several of its jokes.
* HatedByAll: In "Fake News", thanks to Joey [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating them into thinking they're scumbags]]. On a normal day, with a few exceptions, they don't mind the cats as long as they don't provoke them.
* HeroesWithBadPublicity: Invoked by Joey in "Fake News", as [[ManipulativeBastard he tricks the public into despising Oggy and Jack]].
* InelegantBlubbering: They both can literally cry like a baby at times. Oggy does this slightly more often, though.
* OfficialCouple:
** Both Oggy and Olivia are confirmed to be in love.
** Jack is confirmed to be in a relatinship with Oggy's twin sister, [[KissingCousins Monica]].
%%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Oggy's the sensitive guy, while Jack's the manly man.
* RedOniBlueOni: Jack and Oggy, respectively. Although Jack usually resorts to planning, he is known be brasher and more impulsive compared to Oggy, who has a calmer and tranquiler demeanor.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Oggy]]
!!Oggy
[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oggy_6.png]]
The titular protagonist, he is a diplomatic, sometimes lazy and an easy-natured cat who is the constant victim of the [[TerribleTrio Cockroaches]]. He spends his time chasing and catching the cockroaches, but somehow developed a [[CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem love/hate relationship with them]].
----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: Not a parent himself, but he acts likes an embarrassing father towards Jack's nephew.
* AmbiguouslyBi: There were episodes where Oggy showed attraction to women, and others were he clearly ogled men. In "Oggy's Night Out", he and Jack went to eat on a classy restaurant, and Oggy was carrying a ''purse''. Season 4 averts this by having Olivia be his only romantic interest.
* ArchEnemy: It's seldom when he and the roaches never fight in an episode.
* BadassAdorable: Oggy is cute-looking, but isn't afraid to fight back.
* BerserkButton: God help you if you break his figurines. The roaches breaking off an ear from one of them was enough to send himm into a HeroicBSOD... but when [[ItMakesSenseInContext his robot clone threw Bob into all of them and broke them]], not even '''[[StoutStrength Bob]]''' was spared from Oggy's wrath.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Oggy is generally a NiceGuy, he usually ''will not hesitate'' to fight back against the cockroaches when they harass him.
* BigEater: Oggy is usually eating something in most of time, and his fridge is filled with tons of food.
* BlueIsHeroic: His fur is blue, and he is depicted as being more heroic in later seasons.
* BuffoonishTomCat: A lazy cat who is also a ManChild, an occasional CloudCuckooLander and is very slapstick-prone due to his clumsiness or sheer silliness.
* BullyingADragon: Usually, provoking Bob into beating him up is either by accident or the cockroaches' doing. On rare occasions however, Oggy will make the mistake of messing with him, as shown in "TV Obssession" where he steals his car and later locks him in the bathroom to watch his TV.
* ButtMonkey: He is the most liable to suffer misfortunes in this cartoon, like being tricked by the cockroaches and being beaten by Bob. This dwindled down slightly in Season 4.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: His relationship with the cockroaches. He hates them but can't live without them. Becomes a plot point in "So Lonely".
* CatsAreLazy: He's a cat who mostly likes to watch TV, [[BigEater eat]], and occasionally listen to music.
* CatsAreMean: Zigzagged. While Oggy is a cat, he's generally a NiceGuy but he's occasionally shown to have a mean side. It's especially when he's an episode's antagonist (e.g. "Take Cover").
* ChickMagnet: [[spoiler:Invoked by Joey in "Face Off"; he causes Oggy to get a SurgicalImpersonation that gives him a celebrity's face. That causes all nearby females to be ''all over'' him]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sometimes he's shown to live in his own little world.
* CrazyJealousGuy: If your girlfriend were to be stolen by one of your [[ArchEnemies nemeses]], you'd be jealous too.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While [[BuffoonishTomCat Oggy]] is often attacked and ridiculed by the Cockroaches, even they are shocked sometimes at just how often he manages to outsmart them.
* {{Determinator}}: Oggy will often go to great lengths to get revenge on the Cockroaches.
* EnemyMine: Oggy allied with [[ArchEnemies the cockroaches]] in some episodes, to screw enemies in common.
* GirlsLoveChocolate: Gender-inverted, as a couple episodes show he likes chocolate.
* GodzillaThreshold: If you are a major {{Jerkass}} to the point of greed, chances are he ''will'' get the cockroaches to help him. Jack and Bob learned this the hard way.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: With his twin sister Monica.
* HeroicBSOD: Briefly in “Black and White” when Oggy lost his colors, due to an accident with the washer.
* InconsistentSpelling: His name, Oggy, is spelt as "Oggi" in the [[UsefulNotes/{{Finland}} Finnish]] version and "Ogi" in the UsefulNotes/{{Serbia}}n one.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Has a ''few'' feminine traits, like the fact he carried a purse as he went to a fancy restaurant with Jack, in "Oggy's Night Out".
* IronButtMonkey: He's been run over by cars, trains, and even airplanes, crushed by a rocket ship, incinerated, shot by a missile, fallen into radioactive waste, and is caught in an explosion [[OnceAnEpisode nearly every episode]]. It's safe to say that Oggy is pretty much [[MadeOfIron indestructible]].
* JerkassBall: Although rare, he is sometimes the one to instigate the fights between him and the cockroaches.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is the least “jerk” and the most “heart of gold” in comparison with Jack and the cockroaches. Generally, he only reacts in response for cockroaches' provocations.
* LazyBum: Most of the time, Oggy is watching TV.
* LegFocus: PlayedForLaughs, but once or twice he's temporarily gained [[https://www.instagram.com/p/COHW8nOoMXz/ long, well-toned legs]] with the camera giving a close-up of them.
* LivingWithTheVillain: He knowingly lives with the roaches, the show's primary villains, although he's one of the main heroes.
* ManChild: This is an obvious case in "Soldier for a Day", for example, where his room is shown to be full of children's toys despite him being an adult.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Feminine Boy to Monica's Masculine Girl.
* MomentKiller: A [[PlayedForLaughs comical]] example in "Just Married!"; When Jack and his LoveInterest are about to kiss, Oggy interrupts it via going full-on OcularGushers.
* NiceMice: He's normally a NiceGuy and, [[StatusQuoIsGod while it didn't last]], he gets turned into a mouse in "Witch Hunt".
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the Hindi dub, his voice is a mimicry of Creator/ShahRukhKhan.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Not even he will shy away from pulling these when sufficiently pushed; he's beaten up Jack at least twice, and not even the cockroaches are spared from this.
* OcularGushers: Most characters literally cry rivers in this show, but it's most noticeable with Oggy due to just [[ProneToTears how often it happens]].
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: An inverted example; according to "It's a Small World" and "Itsy-Bitsy Oggy", [[NiceGuy Oggy]] is younger than [[TerribleTrio the cockroaches]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ordinarily, he doesn't hesitate to retaliate when the cockroaches [[{{Pun}} bug]] him. But, while potentially PlayedForLaughs, he gets so lost in thought in "Jealousy" that he doesn't even react to them inflicting AmusingInjuries on him.
* PapaWolf: It's a '''''terrible''''' idea to mess with his baby dragon in "Oggy's Dragon".
* ProneToTears: It doesn't take much to upset him to the point of tears. Interestingly, he will rarely cry in response to physical pain despite the amount of over-the-top AmusingInjuries he goes through, but what would be a minor annoyance to anyone else has the potential to get his OcularGushers flowing.
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:He and Olivia eventually get married]].
* SpoiledBrat: He behaves like one in "Oggy's Got Talent!" as he acts like he's a haughty king who demands stuff only he cares about. When he doesn't get what wants, he starts pouting, and [[UngratefulBastard shows no gratitude for when he actually gets it]].
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Sorta. In "Nine Months and Counting", the babies he imagines having look exactly how he looked that age.
* SympathyForTheDevil: It's very rare, but there are instances in which he sympathizes with one of [[TerribleTrio the cockroaches]].
* ThrowTheDogABone: For the first three seasons, Oggy in seasons 1-3 was usually portrayed as [[TheChewToy a]] ''[[TheChewToy lot]]'' [[TheChewToy unluckier]], suffering repetitive bullying and physical harassement by the Cockroaches and/or Bob on a near-daily basis, even losing a good deal of battles with them. However, from Season 4 onwards, his ButtMonkey status was toned down: Oggy triumphs over his nemeses much more often, and gets beat up ''way less'' often by Bob (and even bit back at him more than once). To top it all off, most importantly, he now has a consistent girlfriend in the form of [[NiceGirl Olivia]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jack]]
!!Jack
[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jack_12.png]]
Oggy's cousin, who is sometimes around Oggy to help him take care of the troublesome cockroaches with his inventions.
----
* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' interrupt him when he's watching soccer on TV. Oggy learned that the hard way in "Penalty Shot" and its remake "Soccer Fever" by pulling the plug on a game Jack was watching.
* BigBrotherInstinct: A figurative example. On occasions where Oggy proves to be incapable of handling the cockroaches by himself, Jack is usually there to help him out. "Flower Power", "The Rise and the Fall" and "All Out of Shape" are prime examples of this.
* ButtMonkey: Not frequently like [[BuffoonishTomcat Oggy]], but when something happens to him, it's usually much worse than the treatment Oggy gets.
* CatsAreLazy: In episodes like "Night Watchmen", "Dump the Roaches!" and "Grease Monkey Oggy".
* CatsAreMean: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Jack is a cat who's more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but he can have a mean streak, especially towards the cockroaches.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Jack, in earlier seasons, was more of a MadScientist than the tough type he is today. In later seasons, the "mad" part was dropped. Later episodes like "Oggy's Exoskeleton" have started to bring this trait back though.
* CoolCar:
** Jack doesn't just have a car; it's a monster truck!
** He also got one in "The Pumpkin that Pretended to be a Ferrari", courtesy of a fairy turning a random pumpkin into the ride of his dreams. Unfortunately, the spell eventually wore off, reverting the car back to its original pumpkin form... [[AndIMustScream with Jack and his date still inside]]. Fortunately, Oggy carves them out.
* CrazyPrepared: At times. He has a lot of stuff with him to be prepared.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Depending on how involved the plot of an episode requires him to be, he will either have his own home and visit Oggy, or just implied to be living with Oggy as a roommmate.
* DreadfulMusician: A few examples:
** In the movie's Victorian segment, he (as Sherlock Holmes) plays the violin ''terribly'', in a stark contrast to how Holmes himself usually plays.
** During the [[UsefulNotes/{{Greece}} Greek]] Odyssey episodes, it's a RunningGag for Jack to play the harp (badly) and sing (really loudly), greatly disturbing Oggy and Olivia.
* DrunkWithPower: In "The Dictator", where he lets the success of capturing the cockroaches go to his head and becomes an arrogant dictator.
* GadgeteerGenius: He makes a lot of machines. Though by later seasons, this appears to have dropped.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He always pursues the cockroaches even for no reason and he occasionally antagonizes and uses Oggy and his properties for his own profit, yet several episodes show that he truly does care about Oggy's well-being, and he harbors an unrequited soft spot for Oggy's sister Monica, his future girlfriend.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Many of his plans to get rich or win backfire because he becomes meaner than usual. A notable example is in “Life's A Beach” when Jack uses Oggy's house and pool for his business without asking him permission for that and ends the day being beaten by his customers and getting struck by lightning several times.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the Hindi dub, his voice is a mimicry of Sunny Deol.
* OnlySaneMan: Occasionally, he'll play the StraightMan to Oggy's oblivious or immature behavior, like in "Oggy and the Babies" (where he quickly realizes the "baby kittens" delivered to Oggy's house are the roaches in disguise), and "TV Obsession" (where he shows disapproval at Oggy's television-deprived behavior and keeps a level head through his screentime).
* TheSlacker: He has a tendency to sleep during his jobs, which usually forces Oggy to be the only one working, as shown in the aforementioned episodes above.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He has a fear of heights as shown in "The Lighthouse Keeper".
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: His yellow irises are occasionally seen and he's definitely more conniving than Oggy.
[[/folder]]

!The Cockroaches
[[folder:Tropes applying to all]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deedee_1.png]]
The cockroach trio who live in Oggy's house and are the titular {{villain protagonist}}s of the series. They usually are the main cause of Oggy and Jack's misfortunes, though their shenanigans are sometimes directed towards someone who deserves it.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While they're still mean-spirited pranksters like they were in the original, ''Next Gen'' makes them a tad less sadistic and more inclined to get along with Oggy and [[CheerfulChild Piya]]. In particular, they almost ''never'' directly harm her, in contrast to how they give tons of trouble to Oggy in the original. Their pranks are less destructive as well compared to the parent cartoon.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The trio were never particularly [[NiceGuy nice]]. However, in {{the movie}}'s third section, their ancestors prove to be even worse, as they [[spoiler:attempt to '''murder [[UsefulNotes/QueenVictoria Queen Victoria]] and several innocents''']].
* AdaptationDyeJob: Played straight with Dee Dee, yet zigzagged with Marky and Joey in the comics. Despite Dee Dee's eyes being green in the show, they usually appear yellow there. However, Marky's eyes can both be either [[PsychoPink pink]] (like they are in [[EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference most]] episodes of the show) or yellow. Joey's eyes can also either both be [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow]] or one yellow with the other being pink, despite him having the latter in [[EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference most]] of the cartoon.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: They're generally together, ''very slightly'' resemble each other, and are close buds. According to at least one official description for "Roachy Redneck", the redneck cockroach who visited them is their cousin. Ditto with the termite in "Termite-ator". However, official descriptions for later episodes refer to them as friends. Interestingly, one official description for "La Cucaracha" states La Cucaracha is Joey's cousin but not Marky and/or Dee Dee's.
* AntiHero: In a very small group of episodes, usually leading up to a PetTheDog moment with Oggy.
* AntiVillain: [[ZigzaggingTrope It varies]]. Some episodes give them at least fairly reasonable motivations behind their actions. For example, in "Oggy's Dragon", they try to nab the titular dragon to start a fire. In freezing weather. When they couldn't get a fire started. And this episode occurred before air conditioning was invented. Other times, however, it's purely ForTheEvulz.
* ArchEnemies: Anyone who steals from, [[{{Troll}} provokes]], and tries to ruin Oggy's life as much as they do deserves this title.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They constantly bicker, fight, and hit each other for the most frivolous reasons, but they often stick together, and in many episodes, like in "Caviar on the House!", they show they truly care about one another.
* BadGuysPlayPool: They're a TerribleTrio who've played pool at least once, more specifically in the episode "Paper Chase".
* BeardOfEvil: SantaClaus would be proud of their [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]] beards in the first episode of ''Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Generation''. Doubles as AnimalFacialHair since they're cockroaches.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: They're immature, silly, naughty, and [[BreadMilkEggsSquick sadistic]] cockroaches, so crossing them is ''very'' ill-advised unless you want to discover how mean they can get.
* BigBad: They're almost always the leading problems in every episode.
* BigThinShortTrio: [[FatBastard Dee Dee]] is the big, [[LeanAndMean Marky]] is the thin and [[TheNapoleon Joey]] is the short.
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** The fact they're all sadistic and mischievous {{Psychopathic Manchild}}ren who love tormenting other characters (especially Oggy and Jack) seems to be a key reason why they usually get along.
** Their pleasure-seeking, childlike personalities seem to be why they get along well with Piya (a seven-year-old who acts her age) when they aren't fighting.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: If the episode calls for it, they can turn on the charm and play on everyone's sympathy in order to achieve their goals ("Jealousy", "Roach Vision", "Fake News"...).
* BuffoonishTomcat: When they're turned into tomcats in "The Witch Hunt", the cockroaches (especially, but not exclusively, Joey) still aren't immune to AmusingInjuries. Also, Dee Dee and Marky occasionally act like a BumblingHenchmenDuo.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Just like how Oggy can't live without the roaches, they can't live without him. In "Moving Out", they actually cry after realizing that Oggy truly is gone from the house. Then Marky and Dee Dee [[SanitySlippage start losing it]] and begin [[SelfHarm hitting themselves with Oggy's fly swatter just to relive their memories of him squashing them]].
* CatsAreMean: Generally averted as they obviously aren't cats. However, they get turned into cats in "The Witch Hunt" but continue being a TerribleTrio.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Downplayed, while they do have different designs to make them stand out, sometimes the animators tend to mix things up by giving them the wrong color schemes, this especially happens with Dee Dee and Joey, who are both small in size compared to Marky, who has a different set of antennas as well.
* ConvenientlyCellmates: [[spoiler:When they're in {{prison}} in {{The Movie}}'s "The Incredible Oggy Watson" section and the episode "Sheriff Oggy", they're conveniently sharing a cell together]].
* CreepyCockroach: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] mostly, as they're merely just annoying little fellows who take delight in screwing with Oggy.
* ADayInTheLimeLight: "High Flyers", "Saving Private Dee Dee" and "Shoplifting" are the only episodes to primarily focus on the Cockroaches without Oggy also playing a major role.
* DirtyCoward: They love to act tough and make Oggy, Jack or any innocent victim suffer their machinations, but the minute they lose control of the situation, it's either fleeing in terror or begging for mercy they are less likely to receive. Averted with Dee Dee alone, as he proved to be braver than expected, like trackling bigger enemies, or ComicallyMissingThePoint when he is in danger.
* DubNameChange: Their names are changed in the Hindi dubs.
** In the Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} dub, Joey is called Chotu but Zaplu in the Creator/CartoonNetwork dub.
** In the Cartoon Network dub, Dee Dee is named Paplu. However, in the Nickelodean dub, he's called Chotu.
** Marky's name is Taplu in the Cartoon Network dub but Lambu in the Nickelodeon one.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Particularly with each other; while all three of them are shown to be cruel, they clearly do love each other.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Although all of them are generally shown to be villains, they do have some standards.
** They seem fairly appalled in "Oggy and the Babies" when Oggy swats multiple kittens with a broom and Jack laughs while he does so. Granted, it didn't last long.
** In "Scaredy-Cat", Dee Dee and Marky look horrified when they think a swamp monster is going to attack Oggy. Subverted in Joey's case; [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk he initially looks disgusted... but then he happily puts on 3D glasses]].
** Stealing stuff from Oggy? Not a problem with Dee Dee and Marky. [[spoiler:Stealing a valuable item from a beautiful celebrity? Joey finds out the hard way that's one thing they won't do or stand for]].
** A strange example in "Oggy's Teddy Bear"; [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals Marky]] is horrified over Joey and Dee Dee using a teddy bear as a tennis ball.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Some instances have at least one of the cockroaches find something (non-villainous) distasteful.
** Marky gets disgusted with the smell of some gas in "French Fries".
** In "The Rise and the Fall", the trio finds it ridiculous that Jack is building a skyscraper for himself.
** All of them find Oggy's odor revolting in "Deep End".
** In [[AlliterativeTitle "Virtual Voyage"]], Joey clearly didn't want to [[ItMakesSenseInContext ride the word "Bottom"]] for a fairly-easy-to-guess reason.
** Possibly PlayedForLaughs in "Beachcombers"; the roaches find a {{Fan Disservice}}-y picture of a [[FishPeople fish woman]] disgusting.
** PlayedForLaughs in [[AlliterativeTitle "Roachy Redneck"]], the smell of their redneck cockroach's stinky cheese grosses them out so much, it makes them {{faint|ing}}.
** Dee Dee and Marky are clearly repulsed by [[spoiler:Oggy's foul smell in "The Roaches Seize the Castle" after he went through some sewers]].
** Even Joey and Dee Dee eventually begin to find a conquistador annoying in "Gold Fever".
* EvilFeelsGood: It's obvious they think so; they clearly enjoy most of their cruelties.
* EvilGloating: When things are going their ways, [[TerribleTrio the cockroaches]] love gloating. Probably invoked so [[{{Troll}} they can troll other characters]].
* EvilIsPetty: They sometimes seek petty {{revenge}} on Oggy or Jack (particularly the former) just for messing with them. Even when it's unintentional.
* EvilLaugh: Almost every one of their appearances will involve them laughing. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu-yLEaSofg Even at the beach]] and [[https://youtu.be/t2Dk9WcgUaA?t=236 as ghosts]].
* EvilOldFolks: As revealed in "The Time Machine", they try continuing to be a TerribleTrio after they grow old.
* EvilPlan: While exactly what it is depends on the episode, their most prominent goal is that they want to ruin Oggy's life.
* EvilSmellsBad: Although it's PlayedForLaughs, [[TerribleTrio they've]] all been on the receiving end of {{Smelly Feet Gag}}s at least once. Also, "It's a Small World" reveals [[LeanAndMean Marky's]] breath smells horrible.
* ExtremeDoormat: How Marky and Dee Dee put up with Joey's abuse in later seasons is questionable for the most part, though it's [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in that if Joey goes too far with his schemes, they'll gladly stand up to him.
* FangsAreEvil: All of them have protruding teeth, however Dee Dee's are rectangular and bigger compared to Marky and Joey's pointy fangs.
* FatAndSkinny: In their usual bumbling antics from later seasons, Dee Dee, who is short and pudgy, and Marky, who is ganglier and taller, are this.
* ForTheEvulz: When they aren't raiding the fridge, they are wreaking havoc on the cats for fun.
* FurIsClothing: Like Oggy and Jack, their underwear or their toes can be exposed if their scales are removed in some episodes.
* GangOfBullies: Especially towards Oggy. In fact, "It's A Small World" establishes that they have been harassing him since he was a ''baby''.
* GirlsLoveChocolate: Gender-swapped. "Bitter Chocolate" shows these guys like chocolate.
* GodzillaThreshold: Oggy's go-to guys in the event his friends or neighbors become greedy jerkasses. Depending on the episode, he will pay them for the job.
* GracefulLoser: They're surprisingly this in [[spoiler:"Masquerade". Despite causing a NiceJobFixingItVillain moment and Joey initially being fairly upset about losing, all three of them take their loss well. Namely when Marky points out [[ItMakesSenseInContext they can swim in the huge pile of confetti they accidentally helped cause]]]].
* HopeCrusher: They live to crush other characters' hopes, especially Oggy and Jack's.
* {{Jerkass}}: The cockroaches are the biggest jerks in the cartoon. Most of time, they are annoying Oggy and Jack for fun. Even Bob is a victim of their actions, sometimes.
* JerkassToOne: Other characters are fair game to them and their tricks, but they ''love'' to target Oggy and Jack the most and make them the butt of all jokes. Out of the two, Oggy is the one whom they bully more by having the misfortune of sharing a house with them.
* KarmaHoudini: Any episode where they don't suffer from their LaserGuidedKarma. Especially notable in the comics where Oggy wins only once.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Big time in season 4[[note]]since they suffer from LaserGuidedKarma in almost every episode[[/note]]. This also continues onto season 5, although in a much more downplayed manner.
* KarmicButtMonkey: Zigzagged. They don't always get hit by karma. Other times, it has struck them several times in a variety of ways. They go from simply being crushed by Oggy or putting them inside a jar, to being repeatedly smashed by a wooden mallet, thrown into a sausage grinder, getting EatenAlive, [[PopGoesTheHuman having their bodies inflate until they explode]], [[HumanPopsicle getting frozen into a block of ice]], being used as teeth, or getting sucked into a black hole. ''However,'' there are some instances in which something bad happens to them '''and''' they don't deserve it, like in the final episode of ''Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Generation'' when a bratty {{Jerkass}} tries to kidnap them. That time wasn't so JustForFun/{{egregious}}, though, as they did get free.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Their theme is a jester-like melody that sees several variations through the series' run.
* LethallyStupid: [[FatIdiot Dee Dee]] is particularly prone to this, but also Marky and[[DitzyGenius Joey]] have also had their stupid moments which have costed him victories.
* LightIsNotGood: They sport WhiteGloves and are some of the cartoon's most malicious characters.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: [[spoiler:They outright get thrown in {{prison}} in {{The Movie}}'s third segment, which doesn't hamper them at all. Indeed, [[CapturedOnPurpose it was actually part of Joey's plan]]]].
* MomentKiller: They're the "Deliberate Destruction" type towards Jack and his LoveInterest in "Just Married"; they deliberately ruin several of their romantic moments to {{troll}} them.
* MookMaker: They create {{Mooks}} for themselves using a magic pencil in "A Magic Pen", though Joey seems to be the biggest offender.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The roaches are named after members of the punk band Music/TheRamones.
* NotMeThisTime: Make no mistake, they're guilty of many of Oggy's misfortunes. However, occasionally they are actually not the ones to blame, despite the blue cat thinking otherwise. It's even a PlotPoint in one ''Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Generation'' episode in which he thinks they broke a picture, when it was actually Piya.
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: An inversion. While the cockroaches are the series' most reoccurring villains, "It's a Small World" reveals they're older than [[NiceGuy Oggy]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: They look like they're around Oggy's age. However, during the flashback in "It's a Small World", they still look and act the same while harassing Oggy when he was an infant. Possibly retconned as of "Let's Party, Guys!", wherein Joey's birthdate is revealed to be June 15, 1991 (which would make him 21 years old at the time that episode aired).
* PetTheDog: It's rare, but they have their moments where they do care about Oggy when they're not {{troll}}ing him.
* PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize: They've been antagonizing Oggy since he was a kitten according to "It's a Small World", although they were adults at the time.
* PsychopathicManchild: They're a TerribleTrio of adults who frequently act like naughty boys. Compared to the other two, Joey is a Type C. While he's usually shown to be [[TheSmartGuy smarter than them]], he's often as childish as they are and he sometimes throws tantrums when things don't go his way.
* PsychoPink: Male examples.
** Joey has a pink eye, a cruel nature, a pink body (albeit of a different shade), [[spoiler:and he [[VillainousBreakdown loses it]] in "Oggy's Double"]].
** Marky's eyes are pink and, while he's transformed into a [[CatsAreMean cat]] in "The Witch Hunt", he has patches of [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife pink fur]].
** [[FatBastard Dee Dee]] briefly sports scuba gear with some pink in "Mayday! Mayday!".
* PragmaticVillainy: In "Working Cat", the trio help Oggy get a new job through cheating after his debts become too high and he runs out of food for them to eat. [[spoiler:[[GoneHorriblyRight Although, it turns out that the job Oggy was given is actually]] ''[[GoneHorriblyRight pest control!]]'']]
* RealMenHateSugar: Inverted; these guys aren't above eating sugar.
* SanitySlippage: [[StatusQuoIsGod Not that they lasted]].
** After [[CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem Oggy moves out]] in "Moving Out", Dee Dee and Marky begin flipping out and [[SelfHarm start hitting themselves with his flyswatter]].
** Doubles as a [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown in "Oggy's Double"; after Oggy and his double completely outsmart him, Joey really loses it and goes LaughingMad]].
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: They take this trait in later episodes.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: They all have [[DarkIsEvil black]], Joey is purple, Marky has green, and Dee Dee is orange. Also, they're all villains.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: A villainous one in "A Jealous Guy". They give Oggy photoshopped images of Joey and Olivia being a couple to trick him into thinking they're dating. They did this as {{revenge}} and to mess with his mental health as he's got a huge crush on Olivia.
* SinisterSchnoz: They all have long pointy noses and are Oggy's main nemeses.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Several episodes end with Oggy and/or Jack enacting their revenge on them by simply using the same tactics that the Cockroaches used on them during the episode.
* TennisBoss: A non-VideoGame example in "Cockroaches Play Cricket"; they and Oggy fight via trying to knock a coconut at one other like they were playing UsefulNotes/{{Tennis}}.
* TerribleTrio: All three of the cockroaches are naughty, cruel, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking slobbish]].
* TomTheDarkLord: They're the main villains of this series...and their names are Joey, Marky, and Dee Dee.
* {{Troll}}: They cause mischief and antagonize Oggy and Jack a lot.
* TrueCompanions: As mean as they are to Oggy, they are the best of friends with each other.
* UngratefulBastard: Occasionally. In "Priceless Roaches" for instance, Oggy risks his life to save the trio from being imprisoned in UsefulNotes/{{China}} but they show no gratitude to him whatsoever. [[spoiler:In return, however, Oggy makes them his prisoners]].
* VillainousBreakdown: They have several of these. For example, they fall apart in "The Patient" after learning Oggy was going to [[ThermometerGag inject them with a rectal thermometer larger than them]].
* VillainousGlutton: All three of them have massive appetites, with Dee Dee easily being the most gluttonous. They're also the series' main villains.
* VillainProtagonist: Should the episode mainly focus on them, [[TerribleTrio they're]] usually this.
* VillainsOutShopping: Or playing soccer, card games, etc.
* VillainsWantMercy: Although they're a textbook TerribleTrio, they outright plead for mercy several times. For instance, they beg Jack to spare them in "Oggy and the Babies".
* VillainsWithGoodPublicity: All three roaches have experienced this.
** In "Fake News", the Joey and Marky become InUniverse examples of TheWoobie.[[note]]Technically, they'd be {{Jerkass Woobie}}s. However, their sympathizers don't seem aware of the foremost part.[[/note]] It's justified as [[ManipulativeBastard the former manipulated them]].
** Apparently in [[spoiler:"A Night at the Opera", Dee Dee becomes a well-liked opera singer. Probably justified because he's surprisingly talented at singing opera. Also, the public didn't seem aware of his villainous traits]].
* VillainTeamUp: [[TerribleTrio They]] team up with Oggy's "[[GoodAngelBadAngel Bad Angel]]" in "Green Peace".
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: They get white AnimalFacialHair, namely [[BeardOfEvil beards]], in the first episode of ''Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Generation''.
* WouldHarmASenior: In "Oggy's Grandma", Joey shows Oggy's granny that AmusingInjuries are equal-opportunity in this show. Later, Dee Dee and Marky also try to toss paint buckets at her.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:In "Let's Party Guys!", after having a terrible party, the Cockroaches notice that both Oggy and Jack seem to have bought a present for Joey's birthday! And it's a flyswatter! Which they then use to squish the Cockroaches]].
* YourSizeMayVary: In ''"From Mumbai with Love"'', they pull a TotemPoleTrench to impersonate a cricket player. It inexplicably allows their combined heights to match a human's height and Joey's head and arms get human proportions as well. When their disguise is blown, they immediately revert to their usual size.
** Marky and Dee Dee do it again in ''"Back to the Past"'', this time without Joey to add some extra height. They still manage to look human-sized nonetheless.

[[folder:Joey]]
!!Joey
[[quoteright:303:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joey_36.png]]
A pink-bodied, purple-headed roach with a pink right eye and a yellow left eye, Joey is the self-proclaimed leader of the roaches. Even though he's the smallest roach in the gang, most of the time he's the brains behind the operations.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: None of the summoned grasshoppers in "Oggy and the Grasshopper Cloud" want anything to do with him.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: After experiencing a head injury in "Ugly, Dirty and Good", he completely forgets his villainy and acts like an innocent NiceGuy. [[StatusQuoIsGod It doesn't last]], though.
* BadBoss: Post-{{Flanderization}}. Despite still being their leader (and caring about them deep down), Joey can get physical with Dee Dee and Marky. It's especially when they tick him off, which is easy to do. {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Generation'' as his abusive tendencies only show up a couple times.
* BadLiar:
** While attempting to disguise himself as Oggy in "Inside Out", Joey tries lying to Jack that he didn't know why he "suddenly" got antennas, seemingly saying that he grew from his... ears.[[note]]Joey himself naturally has antennas but Oggy doesn't.[[/note]] Jack didn't seem to buy it.
** [[spoiler:In "Little Tom Oggy", Joey tries tricking Dee Dee into thinking that Marky was for fighting for his stuff. But, [[NeverMyFault he was actually just as guilty as he was]]. Nevertheless, Dee Dee doesn't buy it because he saw him fighting with Marky]].
* BeardOfEvil: Overlaps with AnimalFacialHair; he's a callous, scheming villain who [[spoiler:gets a beard in "Hide and Go Whiskers!"]].
* BerserkButton: Episodes like "House For Rent", "Going Up" and "A Jealous Guy" show that Joey ''hates'' it when [[ArchEnemy Oggy]] outwits or defeats him.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Occasionally he pretends to be a NiceGuy, like when he tries acting decent towards a termite in "Termite-ator". However, his mask starts slipping when she starts defying him.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: An implied case. One of his [[AllThereInTheManual descriptions]] implies he thinks in black-and-white terms[[note]]his Xilam profile states, "For Joey, things are black and white;..."[[/note]]. [[spoiler:The other part is only during his VillainousBreakdown in "Oggy's Double", though]].
* ButtMonkey: Joey tends to have it worse out of all the cockroaches.
* CheeryPink: A male example in "Ugly, Dirty and Good" when he starts acting like a CheerfulChild after getting a head injury (and AmnesiacsAreInnocent). He also has a pink body and a pink eye.
* CombatPragmatist: His devious nature sometimes extends to combat. "Water Sports" for instance has him get in a SwordFight-esque battle with Jack, which he wins via stabbing his raft.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Aside from his failed attempts to win Lady K's heart, there are two instances where he ''did'' get the girl, only to lose her by the episode's end:
** "Honeymoon": Joey falls in love with a bee Oggy took in and, despite some setbacks, successfully courts her. However, the interference of [[FriendVersusLover the other cockroaches]] and the injuries inflicted on her (inadvertant or not) by the other residents of the house (and an accidental one by Joey himself) cause her to [[SanitySlippage lose a good amount of her sanity]] and try to fly away from Oggy's house. Joey, in a surprisingly pitiable moment, tries to stop her and relentlessly begs for her to stay... [[https://i.imgur.com/7HtrtMh.jpg and gets a stinger right through his head in response.]]
** "V.I.P Party": He succeeds in wooing a beautiful guest of Lord Latouille's party with his charms, even beating another suitor into the hospital when he tries to seduce her. But while she enjoys his company very much, [[WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve midnight strikes]], and she has to go home. Though devastated, Joey nonetheless keeps (and kisses repeatedly) one of her high heels as a memento.
* DitzyGenius: He's fairly clever, but isn't free from moments of tomfoolery.
* DragonRider: A villainous equivalent in "Oggy's Dragon" when he [[https://www.facebook.com/Oggy.fanpage/photos/how-do-you-feel-about-the-finalegameofthrones-cartoon-oggyandthecockroaches-cat-/2323735507681127/ (forcibly) rides the titular dragon]].
* DreadfulMusician: In later seasons, while PlayedForLaughs, Joey's singing voice is ''terrible''.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: A downplayed one. His right eye is [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] in his earlier appearances, but [[PsychoPink pink]] elsewhere.
* EntitledBastard: A subversion. While he often abuses Oggy and/or Jack, he flat-out [[BegTheDog begs]] them in "Fake News" for food with PuppyDogEyes. But it's soon revealed he was just acting and it was part of his EvilPlan.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may mess with pretty much everyone and everything for a cheap laugh, but "Emergency Room" shows that he does not necessarily want to harm the elderly. While joyriding Oggy's hospital bed, an old man starts crossing the hall ahead, resulting in Joey shouting and gesturing for him to get out of the way.
* EvilPlan: His specialty. He wants to [[{{Greed}} become wealthy]], for starters.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: A downplayed example. Joey and his father from {{The Movie}}'s "Prince Oggy" segment have similar (but not identical) eye colors.
* {{Flanderization}}: Yeah, Joey was always mean-spirited. But sometimes in later episodes, he ''physically harms'' his own friends (especially when they tick him off, which is pretty easy).
* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: He once lost basically all of his negative traits and became a sweetheart... only to later revert back to his typical self.
* FourIsDeath: He's sadistic and his body has four lines in the original series.
* GiftedlyBad: A PlayedForLaughs one. Joey seems to think he's a fine singer in later seasons... when his [[DreadfulMusician singing voice is actually horrendous]].
* {{Greed}}: Joey's most noticeable trait is that he loves money.
* HatOfAuthority: When leading his army (which is primarily composed of stickmen) in "The Magic Pen", he's also its only member who's wearing a hat.
* HeightAngst: An implied Type I in "Joey and the Magic Bean". He, TheNapoleon and the shortest member of the main cast, seems offended after Oggy [[HeightInsult mocks the cockroaches for being smaller than him]]. It's especially compared to Dee Dee and Marky, who are taller than Joey and didn't seem bothered by it.
* HopeBringer: A rare villainous example. In "Roach Vision", Dee Dee and Marky (most notably the latter) had lost hope that they could beat [[ArchEnemy Oggy]] because of his special glasses which help him defeat them. They even start trying to [[LivingWithTheVillain move out]]... until Joey comes along! He even has a new [[EvilPlan scheme]] which gives them hope! Doubles as {{Irony}} since they're ''all'' {{Hope Crusher}}s themselves.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: He spends much "Oggy and the Grasshopper Cloud" trying ([[AllOfTheOtherReindeer and failing]]) to befriend some grasshoppers as his friendships with Marky and Dee Dee both [[StatusQuoIsGod temporarily]] ended.
* ItsAllAboutMe: For starters, in "Deep Trouble", Joey wanted to hog a submarine's wheel. However, Marky and Dee Dee start messing with it. He then tries to order them to get off it, but when they don't listen, [[AmusingInjuries he just throws them off]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He's devious, [[{{Greed}} greedy]], [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], and the cruelest of the [[TerribleTrio trio]]. In later episodes, it sometimes gets to the point where Dee Dee and Marky will briefly get Oggy's help or defy him when he gets out of line. There's also several instances in which he seems to be showing a redeeming quality, but then shows that isn't the case (although he does have genuine, likable moments).
** He initially [[EvenEvilHasStandards seems disgusted]] in "Scaredy-Cat" when a swamp monster starts chasing Oggy. But, while possibly PlayedForLaughs, he then happily puts on 3D glasses and starts recording the ordeal.
** [[spoiler:In "Wheeling and Dealing" (which is set in prehistoric times), after unintentionally breaking Oggy's wheel, Joey initially seems [[SympathyForTheHero sorry for him]] and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone bad about what he did]]. But, it's soon shown he was only upset because the wheel getting broken means [[ItsAllAboutMe he can't use it himself]]]].
* LaughingMad: Particularly during [[spoiler:his VillainousBreakdown in "Oggy's Double"; he breaks down in high-pitched laughter as a sign he ([[StatusQuoIsGod temporarily]]) lost it]].
* ManChild: After getting a head injury in "Ugly, Dirty and Good", he acts like a sweet CheerfulChild stuck in a grown-up's body. [[StatusQuoIsGod Not that this lasts]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Occasionally, especially in "Fake News" when Joey pulls off a WoundedGazelleGambit and tricks basically everyone into thinking Oggy is a villain.
* MisterBig: He's the shortest of the cockroaches, their leader, and TheNapoleon.
* ModestRoyalty: In {{the movie}}'s "Prince Oggy" segment. [[SarcasmMode Nothing screams "I am a prince!" more than wearing]]: [[EvilWearsBlack black gloves]], a [[DarkIsEvil brown belt with a dark yellow belt buckle]], and a [[EvilWearsBlack black]] and [[GreenAndMean dark green]] cape.
* TheNapoleon: He's the shortest of the trio and has a short fuse.
* OddFriendship: Despite being the biggest {{Jerkass}} of the trio, he tends to bond the most with Oggy. Big examples being in "Virtual Voyage", "Mission to Earth", "Ugly Dirty and Good" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
* OnlySaneMan: Being [[TheSmartGuy more sensible]] than Dee Dee and Marky generally are, Joey occasionally acts like this when he's with them, like when he's SurroundedByIdiots (and seems to think so) towards the beginning of "Penalty Shot".
* OverlordJr: In the "Prince Oggy" segment, it's heavily implied he's as evil and sadistic as his deceased father was.
* PetTheDog: Despite his self-serving personality, he does have his nicer moments.
** Joey actually saves Oggy from falling to his death in "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
** In "Inspector Dee Dee", [[spoiler:Joey was willing to give back Oggy's flyswatter after briefly having it stolen by an octopus. He even fist bumps him after he squashes Marky with it]].
* PragmaticVillainy:
** Sorta in "Happy Birthday". When Oggy is CarryingACake, Joey stops [[VillainousGlutton Dee Dee]] from flat-out stealing it... because he wanted to literally [[PullingTheRugOut pull the rug from under the feline]].
** [[spoiler:He helps Oggy lose weight in [[DietEpisode "Oggy's Diet"]] to get him to get off his diet. This is because, during it, he started filling his fridge (which Joey commonly gets food from) exclusively with sucky drinks]].
** In "Shoplifting!", Joey has no interest in robbing a grocery store; he knows that, unlike Oggy, it'll have multiple means to deal with thieves and he and his cohorts could actually go to prison. Unfortunately, Lady K convinces him and the others to do so anyway.
** Joey quits trying to make Oggy stop playing music in "Oggy's Got Talent". Not because he likes it, mind you, but because he realized it'd make him a great [[{{Pun}} cat's-paw]] to help him [[{{Greed}} get rich]].
* RabbleRouser: You can thank him for inciting a duck mob in "Duck Soup". [[spoiler:It's implied at the end of the episode that he incited a mob of chickens too]].
* RecliningReigner: He does a SlouchOfVillainy in {{The Movie}}'s second segment, in which he's a prince.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: A downplayed case; in earlier episodes, Joey's right eye was red instead of [[PsychoPink pink]]. His left eye, however, is [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow]].
* RedRightHand: He's the only character, at least of the main cast, with mismatched eyes[[note]]he has a [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow left eye]], and his right eye is [[PsychoPink pink]] (originally [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]])[[/note]]. He's one of the most malicious.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: A villainous example in {{The Movie}}'s second section, in which he's a prince who isn't above getting his hands dirty.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Along with generally being the trio's TheSmartGuy, Joey is the shortest of the three.
* TheSmartGuy: He's usually the smartest of the trio.
* TheTease: A PlayedForLaughs example in "Oggy's Special Spa", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4nRmLjXDrA&t=420s when he teases Oggy... suggestively]].
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: Gender-inverted. He's TheNapoleon and heaven forbid you defy him.
* TooImportantToWalk: Sometimes, especially in later episodes, [[https://www.facebook.com/Oggy.fanpage/photos/a.477517772302919/1862352860486063/ he has the other cockroaches carry him]].
* TheUnfettered: A Type I. He ''doesn't'' care about what he has to do to [[{{Greed}} get wealthy]]. If it involves hurting his friends, [[ItsAllAboutMe so be it]].
* VagueAge: A [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] example. The series doesn't reveal his age... until "Let's Party, Guys!" when we get to see his ID and his birthdate is listed as June 15, 1991.
* VillainHasAPoint: As mean as he is, Joey has his moments of this. In "Artsy Oggy" for instance, he accurately calls out Oggy on [[spoiler:being a fraud]].
* VillainousPrincess: Gender-inverted in {{The Movie}}'s second segment, in which he's a vicious prince.
* VillainousRescue: In "Journey to the Center of the Earth", he actually saves [[NiceGuy Oggy]] from falling to his death, despite being an unruly and unpleasant bully.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: A downplayed one. Joey's left eye is yellow, denoting to his sneakiness, but his right eye is [[PsychoPink pink]] (originally [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]]).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Marky]]
!!Marky
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marky_1.png]]
Marky is a suave, heartbreaking, grey-bodied, green-headed roach with pink eyes, often not really caring about what the two others are doing. His hobby is dating girls--even puppets--and reading books.
----
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: A justified example. Marky is a cockroach (which isn't a dog) but he spends much of "Oggy and the Magic Flute" acting like a CanineCompanion to [[NiceGuy Oggy]]; he can tranverse on all fours, pant (complete with his tongue sticking out), etc. However, this was because his "flute" charmed him. [[spoiler:Also, it's later revealed that anyone it charms acts like a dog]].
* CanineCompanion: He acts like one during much of "Oggy and the Magic Flute", in which he's friends with [[NiceGuy Oggy]] and plays AllAnimalsAreDogs straight.
* TheCasanova: He was one in the early episodes but this trait has since disappeared. It seems to have returned in a season 5 episode.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In "Ugly, Dirty and Good", in which Dee Dee tells him he has to whack Joey's head in order to make him come back to his senses, he constantly hits Dee Dee every time he asks to do it. Justified since the latter wasn't clear enough the second time he explained his plan.
* CutenessProximity: He finds a baby panda in "The Precious Panda" ''adorable''. He also has this reaction (although it's comparatively downplayed) in [[spoiler:"Fake News" upon seeing Oggy and Jack after they try making themselves look like {{Cute Kitten}}s]].
* DamselOutOfDistress: Gender-swapped in [[AlliterativeTitle "Sacrificial Special"]]. After [[CapturedOnPurpose letting Bob capture him]], Marky manages to escape and steal his treasure (the latter being why he got CapturedOnPurpose).
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: A downplayed example. Originally, his [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes were red]], but they were later changed to [[PsychoPink pink]].
* EnragedByIdiocy: Zig-zagged, usually he doesn't mind Dee Dee goofing around, but in other occasions, such as episodes like "Marky Da Vinci" "Journey To The Moon", he will often reprimand him for his obliviance.
* EvilCannotStandCuteness: Inverted. He's a villain who's experienced a couple [[CutenessProximity Cuteness Proximities]].
* TheGenericGuy: Becomes this after season 1 due to his [[TheCasanova Casanova]] trait being phased out. Generally, most of the episodes are pretty evident on how he lacks an actual personality ''to'' stand out - compared to his friends. While he does have traits that are demonstrated for very few episodes (being a casanova as mentioned before, skilled at three things, and apparently able to develop obsessions with items that he really enjoys (or would enjoy) having[[note]]in "Oggy and the Not So Smart Bracelet" and "Oggy's Teddy Bear", both being season 7 episodes[[/note]], mostly, he serves to help his companions.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: A gender-swapped example; "Oggy's Teddy Bear" shows he loves Oggy's teddy bear.
* TheHeart: It happens rarely, but if there's one who would try to break up fights between his fellow cockroaches, that's Marky.
* HiddenDepths: In some season 5 episodes, he's surprisingly really skilled at chess, art, and is great at building (but with sandstone).
* IJustWantToBeLoved: All he wanted in "Caviar on the House" was for Joey and Dee Dee (who he felt rejected by) to like him.
%%* IdiotBall: Occasionally in Season 3 and 4, where his characterization was a bit dubious.
* InformedAttribute: Official profiles state he has two hobbies: reading books, which is rarely demonstrated, and dating puppets.
* LeanAndMean: Downplayed, usually he is seen with a pot belly, however he still remains fairly slender, especially if compared with [[FatIdiot Dee Dee]] and [[TheNapoleon Joey]]. Parodied in "French Fries". Apparently, he is so skinny, he doesn't get hurt by Oggy's old flyswatter.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: One of the reasons Joey and Dee Dee got suspicious of Marky in "Caviar on the House"? He wasn't [[VillainousGlutton joining them in devouring Oggy's food with them like he usually does]].
* OutOfFocus: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], he has appeared in ''every single episode'' except for "The Pumpkin That Pretended to be a Ferrari", "Perpetual Motion", "Safari, So Good" and "Happy Campers"; but he rarely ever gets the main spotlight. There have been roughly ''six'' episodes that primarily focus on him.[[note]]That being: "Baby Doll", "Jealousy", "Hip Hip Hip Hypnoses", "Mind the Giant", "Caviar on the House" and "Marky's Tournament".[[/note]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Towards [[OfficialCouple Oggy and Olivia]], at least in "Oggy's 1001 Nights" when he's clearly happy after they're reunited.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He originally had red eyes instead of [[PsychoPink pink]] ones.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dee Dee]]
!!Dee Dee
[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dee_dee_7.png]]
Dee Dee is an ever-hungry, devour-it-all, purple-bodied, orange-headed roach with green eyes. His appetite sometimes reaches ridiculous regions, often resulting in the consumption of larger animals or other things.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Although he isn't fat, but more on the pudgy side, he is the largest of the cockroaches, yet he is just as agile as the others and can outrun other characters easily.Even in the cancelled mobile game "Oggy Runner", in which he is the slowest of the cockroaches and therefore the easiest to catch, he is by far the best jumper in the game compared to his brothers and Oggy himself.
* {{Awwchoo}}: It's shown in the first episode of ''Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Generation'' that he sounds cute when he sneezes. Possibly {{invoked|trope}}, however, as he did sneeze while he and the other roaches were [[PuppyDogEyes "convincing"]] Oggy and Piya to get them back in the house.
* BigEater: Basically the entire point of his character. It's no secret that his appetite is by far the most gargantuan out of all the cockroaches', and also the reason of why he is often involved in Joey's plans. Exaggerated in the ending of the episode "Termite-ator" in which he wolfs down almost every house in Oggy's neighborhood.
* TheBigGuy: To his fellow cockroaches. He is definitely the toughest of the bunch and the one who usually performs the most complex task in the Cockroaches' evil deeds.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: "Inspector Dee Dee" shows how much of a [[TheDeterminator Determinator]] he is when it comes to crime solving.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: A justified example in "Oggy vs. Super Roach", in which Dee Dee unintentionally removes part of a steel pipe. However, this was soon after getting SuperStrength and beforehand he didn't know he received it.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He's not very bright, but sometimes (especially in later episodes), he does make valid points. In "Little Tom Oggy" for example, he points out to Oggy that trying to sleep in Pit's doghouse is an asinine idea, not that he listened.
* ExtremeOmnivore: He has [[ToonPhysics eaten fishes from a wallpaper]] in "Oggy's Clone", and to a lesser extent, managed to ''[[EatenAlive eat an entire hyena]]'' in "Safari so Good".
* FatBastard: Mean, yet not lean. [[spoiler:[[StatusQuoIsGod Temporarily]] inverted in [[DietEpisode "Dee Dee's Diet"]] when he does become {{lean|AndMean}}]].
* FatIdiot: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] He's the chubbiest and in some episodes, he is portrayed as the most gullible and clumsiest of the cockroaches, but he otherwise has instances where he can come up with plans and he is as just good as his brothers at outwitting the cats and giving them grief. [[spoiler:[[StatusQuoIsGod Briefly]] inverted in [[DietEpisode "Dee Dee's Diet"]] when he's temporarily very [[LeanAndMean skinny]]]].
* FatSlob: He's sloppy and overweight.
* GenderBlenderName: Although the name "Dee Dee" is feminine, this Dee Dee is a male.
* GeniusDitz: Not an actual ditz per se, but, when they aren't basic and self-explanatory assumptions, his plans turn out to be more ingenious compared to Joey's. Special mention goes to "The Big Bad Wolf" when he came up with a clever contraption in order to save Joey.
* MasterActor: In "The Fugitive", he frames Oggy by pretending to be killed when he got caught red-handed by the cat. Justified, as he has already shown hints of his acting performance in "A Night At The Opera".
* MultiPurposeTongue / OverlyLongTongue: Occasionally, he is shown to have this. In "Globulopolis", "Just Married" and "Carnival's in town" he uses it as arm to grab a strawberry, pick up a baked potato and pull a lever respectively.
* ObsessedWithFood: He's stated to be preoccupied with eating.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: It became a plot point in "Oggy vs. Super Roach", in which Dee Dee gains SuperStrength and was able to take out Oggy easily. Even in his normal state, he is seen carrying around objects, animals and furnitures with ease, something that a cockroach of his size wouldn't normally be able to lift.
* RealMenHateAffection: He's disgusted when a hedgehog kisses him in "Saving Private Dee Dee". Granted, [[JustifiedTrope she was a random stranger]].
* SingingVoiceDissonance: He's shown to have an astonishingly deep, baritone singing voice in "A Night at the Opera". This is TruthInTelevision, as most [[HeavyVoice opera singers are often on the heavy side]] in order to make their voices sound deep and booming.
* SinisterSwitchblade: He's a FatBastard who uses a switchblade in self-defense in "Trans-Amazonian".
* SinisterWhistling: A downplayed variant in "Masquerade" when he whistles before committing the [[BlatantLies absolutely heinous felony]] of trying to ruin Oggy's confetti.
* SmugSuper: After gaining SuperStrength in "Oggy vs. Super Roach", Dee Dee gets ''very'' arrogant.
* VillainousGlutton: [[FatBastard Dee Dee's]] appetite is even bigger than Joey and Marky's (who have big appetites themselves).
[[/folder]]

!The Others
[[folder:Olivia]]
!!Olivia
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/olivia_3.png]]
Oggy's other next-door neighbor, and love interest. [[spoiler:She later became his wife in the season 4 finale.]]
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Olivia has only a yellow bow on top of her head.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Olivia has no ill will towards anyone, but if pushed far enough, she can get fed up with others and show she's not all smiles and cheers. Examples include clobbering Bob with a rake for making fun of her pimple in "Olivia's Pimple" and intimidating the cockroaches (particularly Joey) into helping her reverse a witch's curse on her neighbors[[note]] that they caused by accidentally ripping her hat into shreds and framing them for it[[/note]] in "Back To The Past!" with a ''spiked flyswatter''.
* DemotedToExtra: In the original show, Olivia is one of the central characters. In ''Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Generation'', however, she's not as crucial.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Even to the cockroaches, who she'll hurt only when she thinks that they've gone too far.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Perfect for someone who's friendly to everyone, even the roaches.
* LivingWithTheVillain: Unknowingly lives with [[FemmeFatale Lady K]], [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale of all characters]], although she's [[NiceGirl absolutely nothing like her]].
* LoveInterest: To Oggy.
* NiceGirl: It's rare to find a character who's actually ''consistently'' nice, and that's where Olivia comes in. She'll even tolerate the roaches' presence, so long as they don't make her mad.
* OfficialCouple: She and the titular Oggy are confirmed to be a couple.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: She has two, in "Oggy and the Not so Smart Bracelet". The nature-loving cat who's unaware of the roaches' mischievous actions ''suddenly'' retaliates at them with violence... ''for whatever reason.'' She squashes Marky with a pineapple after he attempted to steal her bracelet, and attempted to swat his friends after they wanted to show her something.
* PantslessMalesFullyDressedFemales: In Season 5, Olivia wears full clothes most of the episodes while the boys wear either pantsless or shirtless, Fully Dressed to Cockroaches' Pantsless Males.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Pink Girl to Oggy's Blue Boy.
* PluckyGirl: She's cheerful, optimistic, and quite determined.
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:As said above, she and Oggy eventually get married.]]
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: You can tell she's female due to her pinkish and feminine colors, bow ties and long eyelashes.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Out of all characters, she is the nicest.

[[folder:Bob]]
!!Bob
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7faeed82204e386fb41bcee33615f2ea.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:(growling noises)]]
Oggy's next-door neighbor, frequently caught in the crossfire when Oggy's antics get out of control.
----
* AngryGuardDog: Resembles one. Funnily enough, he is an ''actual'' guard in a few episodes like "Shoplifting!" and "Fake News", and he's got the temper to match.
* AscendedExtra: In the first 3 seasons, Bob was nothing more than a recurring character. However, in season 4, he became one of the show's main characters.
* ButtMonkey: While [[DownplayedTrope not as often]] as some of the other characters, he still tends to suffer sometimes. The best examples being in episodes like "The Piggy Bank" and "Don't Barge In!".
* CharacterDevelopment: Due to becoming an AscendedExtra, his tendency to beat up Oggy and Jack from time to time is downplayed in season 4, and he occasionally has a good time with both of them. This is especially noticeable in the episode "Steamed Out", where he genuinely wanted to hang out with Oggy and Jack.
* CrankyNeighbor: Especially in the first few seasons. He hated Oggy and Jack, and usually used to beat them up if provoked.
* {{Expy}}: Bob is basically an angry version of [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Spike]].
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: A gender-flipped example; he adores stuffed animals as shown in "Oggy's Teddy Bear".
* HairTriggerTemper: Bob scarcely has patience for his neighbors' antics; if they anger him, he ''will'' get physical.
* IdenticalStranger: The bodyguard seen in ''"From Mumbai with Love"'' looks exactly like Bob with a moustache. Possibly {{Subverted}}, as Bob has been seen with several different jobs in lots of different places so this bodyguard could actually be him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's mean towards Oggy and Jack and can be quite a bruiser, but he can also be a pretty swell guy. For example, he civilly hangs out with Oggy and Jack a lot in Season 4 and "Oggy's Teddy Bear" shows that he collects stuffed animals to sleep with at night.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: From Season 3 onwards, it's not uncommon to find him working different jobs, such as a police camp trainer, the head deliveryman, the head garbage man, and even the bodyguard for a celebrity... '''in India.'''
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Does this regularly to Oggy and/or Jack whenever they provoke him, accidentally or otherwise. When it comes to the cockroaches however, they are the one target he can beat up on without the viewer feeling sorry for them, given that they are sadistic, obnoxious pranksters with a knack for wreaking havoc.
* PetTheDog: When Jack accidentally drives a motorcycle through his house and into him in "Control Freak", he simply brings him back to Oggy and tuts, as if telling them not to let it happen again. He leaves it at that, even though he is covered in a tire track, and he has beaten the two up for much more minor inconveniences in the past.
* RunningGag: His only role early on was to be inconvenienced whenever Oggy's antics spilled out of his own home, often pummeling Oggy to send him back to his house.
* StoutStrength: Despite his rotund build, he's shown to be strong enough to beat the everloving crud out of Oggy.
* VillainousBreakdown: While PlayedForLaughs, he begins [[OcularGushers crying rivers]] when [[spoiler:Jack ruins both his ship and his EvilPlan in {{The Movie}}'s "Oggy-Wan Kenoggy" segment]].
* WouldntHurtAChild: "Baby Boum" shows that, even if he finds himself stuck with a random, loud baby who painfully gropes his face, he won't dare take his anger out on it like he does to everyone else, and would rather leave the baby for Oggy to deal with.

[[folder:Monica]]
!!Monica
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monica_remastered.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:(remastered version)]]
Oggy's twin sister.
----
* FurryFemaleMane: Instead of ears, she seems to have blonde hair.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Aside from their ears (though Monica looks like she has hair in place of ears) and eyes, Monica and Oggy look the same.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Masculine Girl to Oggy's Feminine Boy.
* OfficialCouple: Is confirmed to be in a relationship with Jack.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Oggy prefers to spend his days lounging about and eating. Monica prefers to rollerblade around and do sports; the more extreme, the better.
* RollerbladeGood: And she's had them since she was born!

[[folder:Lady K]]
!!Lady K
[[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtladyk_6278.png]]
A female cockroach living in Olivia's house.
----
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:In the episode, "Shoplifting!", she manages to manipulate the Cockroaches into helping her steal loads of food from the grocery store, while giving ''nothing'' to them in return. Made even worse when it's implied that [[HereWeGoAgain she's going to trick the Cockroaches again into robbing a train]]]].
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Lady K is a horrible woman with a high-pitched voice.
* CuteButCacophonic: She's pretty (especially to the cockroaches) and has a CreepyHighPitchedVoice.
* DistaffCounterpart: Lady K is basically the result if one took Joey, removed or toned down his redeeming qualities, dialed up some of negative traits, and made him female.
* DudeMagnet: Downplayed, but Joey's cousin and all three of the cockroaches are smitten with Lady K.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Despite how despicable Lady K is, the cockroaches (especially Joey) still love her.
* EvilIsPetty: She's even worse than the cockroaches in this regard; Lady K once tried to [[DisproportionateRetribution murder Olivia just because she unknowingly poured water on her]].
* EvilWearsBlack: [[FemmeFatale Lady K]] isn't immune to wearing a [[LadyInRed red]] and [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black]] dress.
* FanservicePack: An inverted case; Lady K's NonMammalMammaries get [[https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/73259263_2647585241962817_2813625022545920000_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=2d5d41&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ohc=WwXrw8M2kbAAX_5nOUq&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=d811505c93322f7aadeb77fa33818dbe&oe=6177A06F get removed in her later appearances]].
* FemmeFatale: She's cunning, intelligent and much more evil than any other character in the show, and can even get Dee Dee, Marky and Joey to do whatever she wants...[[spoiler:even to [[EasilyForgiven forgive her for eating all the food they stole]]]].
* GirlsLikeMusicians: Apparently, she falls in love with Joey's cousin in "The Cucharcha" because he's a guitarist.
* GreenAndMean: "Mean" is an understatement, but she's green-eyed and has worn a dress with some green.
* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: She resembels a human more than the male cockroaches, with her hair, human-like skin tone and legs, and [[NonMammalMammaries breasts]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Unless your name is Lady K (or you're the Mexican cockroach from "The Cucharcha"), she clearly just cares about herself.
* {{Jerkass}}: Saying she's a scumbag is a huge understatement. For starters, [[spoiler:she betrays the cockroaches and had them get attacked by Bob the dog while she took the food they took for herself in "Shoplifting!"]].
* KarmaHoudini: She hasn't suffered any comeuppance in the show.
* LadyInRed: Is a FemmeFatale who isn't above wearing a [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red]] and [[EvilWearsBlack black]] dress.
* LaughingMad: She started laughing maniacally when she plots a very ''Literature/SnowWhite'' situation by poisoning an apple...[[DisproportionateRetribution just because Olivia was watering her flowers and unknowingly drenched her]].
* MakeUpIsEvil: Lady K clearly wears make-up, and is clearly the series' most rotten character.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: The cockroaches (all of which are male) are not saints themselves. But she's even worse than them.
* NonMammalMammaries: Cockroaches in RealLife aren't mammals, not like this stops Lady K from having breasts.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: A vicious FemmeFatale with a [[LadyInRed red]] and [[EvilWearsBlack black]] dress.
* VillainousGlutton: The "Villainous" part is a given. As for the "Glutton" part, [[spoiler:Lady K eats an enormous amount of food in "Shoplifting!" and was implied to still be hungry]].

A dog who's very aggressive.

[[folder:Piya]]
!!Piya
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unnamed_744.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:]]
Debuting in ''Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation'', Piya is a seven-year-old elephant who Oggy has as a guest.
----
* BirdsOfAFeather: She and the roaches get along fairly well when they're not fighting. And it seems to be due to their childish, pleasure-seeking personalities.
* CheerfulChild: A bubbly seven-year-old girl.
* CheeryPink: She's a pink and energetic girl.
* GenkiGirl: Her [[CheerfulChild abundance of energy]] coupled with her desire to play nearly all the time often leaves Oggy exhausted.
* NiceGirl: She's typically shown to be a sweetheart.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Despite them being a TerribleTrio, Piya sympathizes with the roaches several times, like when she pities them in her debut after Oggy kicks them out of his house.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Maybe she would be a LadyLooksLikeADude... if it weren't for her noticeable eyelashes and pink coloring.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: At least when compared to other kid characters, she looks sorta like a grown-up, mainly due to her being larger than several adult characters (e.g. Jack). Despite this, she's confirmed to be seven years old.
