Henry & June segments
Henry
Voiced by: Noah Segan
Henry started the show as the more "normal" and laid-back host, especially compared to the (at the time) zany June. Eventually, while he was still calmer than June, he became the butt of almost every joke.
- Ambiguously Brown: Henry is noticeably darker skinned than June and other presumably "white" characters. This of course isn't commented on. This is extra confusing when you compare Henry with his lighter voice actor Noah Segan, especially in the episode where he and June visit "The Real World" (where Henry does actually become lighter skinned).
- Amusing Injuries: And unfortunately for him, he's at the butt of most of them.
- Anime Hair: Just look at his picture.
- Berserk Button: Usually he's pretty agreeable. Call him a loser or relentlessly tease him, however...(June found this out the hard way when he got fed up with her mocking him and quit in the episode Won't Stick To Most Dental Work).
- Butt-Monkey: Not an episode goes by without Henry suffering misfortune.
- Catchphrase: "What did I do?" and "That's cute, June".
- The Chew Toy: It would seem that the universe hates him.
- Disappeared Dad: His father is never seen or heard of in the show.
- Flanderization: Compare the early episodes to later on the series. He went from being the Cloudcuckoolander's Minder to the Butt-Monkey.
- Goofy Print Underwear: Revealed every time they announce "Surprising Shorts".
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be pretty self-occupied at times, even forgetting June's birthday (and making dickish comments after giving her a mood ring). But while he may not show it all the time, he deeply cares about her.
- Love Hurts: In A Nut In Every Bite, he found himself falling for Mr. Stockdale's visiting granddaughter, Dawn. Unfortunately, he only seemed to be able to charm her by hurting himself. After Dawn leaves:June: I'm sorry she had to leave, Henbud.
Henry: I'm not. She was killing me! - Minor Insult Meltdown: In Won't Stick To Most Dental Work, he storms off the show after June picks on him too many times.
- No-Respect Guy: Although he does occasionally get respect from June.
- Only Sane Man: From early on, especially since June was more of a ditzy Cloudcuckoolander than in later seasons. As the series goes on and shows off Henry's status as an arrogant Butt Monkey more while June became less ditzy yet still playful, he would trade this role with June now and then. By the show's end, the two were in situations were both served as the straight man/woman to another character who was even sillier/more obnoxious than either of them (like Mr. Stockdale).
- Platonic Life-Partners: With June, according to
Word of God. - Pretty Fly for a White Guy: In the episode Now With More Flava'!, he tries to become a rapper, and fails miserably. But then again... IS he white?
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to June's blue.
- Straight Man: In Season 1, to the ditzy and overly-excited early June.
- The Power of Rock: In Your Logo Here, they attempt to make the show more educational by bringing in a singing otter who's more than a little like Barney. His teachings drive the kids crazy, so Henry lures him into a trap by playing a kickass electric guitar solo.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: Happens to him a lot. In Won't Stick to Most Dental Work, he quits the show and opens his own restaurant. Despite it being very successful, he quits and returns to the show after seeing how heartbroken June was.
- Youthful Freckles: he has some freckles on his face.
June
Voiced by: Julia McIlvaine
While Henry was the calmer and more laid-back host in the early episodes, June was ditzy and just a little crazy. From Season 2 onwards, however, she became a lovable, good-hearted Deadpan Snarker. The only things that stayed the same were her cute looks and fiery temper.
- Art Evolution: Obviously she changed as much as Henry, but inverted a bit. Her ponytail started out more "bushy" until season three-ish, where it became its more well-known teardrop shape.
- Amusing Injuries: Much less prone to it than Henry (and even so, the frequency varies by the season), but she does get her fair share of cartoon violence thrown her way.
- Badass Adorable: On most occasions.
- Berserk Button: Quite a few things piss her off, but don't EVER forget her birthday, unless you want her to make your life a living hell.
- Break the Cutie: In Won't Stick To Most Dental Work, after Henry gets fed up with her teasing him and quits. She starts out reasonably well (if you can call angrily tearing up his letter and stomping on it "reasonably well"), but by the end of the episode, she's in tears because she misses him so much.
- Cloudcuckoolander: In season one. She still has shades of this in Season 2, but becomes more of The Prankster. She then mellows out considerably in Seasons 3 and 4.
- Deadpan Snarker: Starting in Season 2.
- Depending on the Writer: Normally, she's a snarky yet good-hearted prankster with an attitude problem - however, in some episodes she's portrayed as a bossy brat. This stopped near the end of the show.
- The Ditz: Only in season 1.
- Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Would Henry picking on and beating her up be as funny?
- Even the Girls Want Her: One Season 4 episode reveals that she has some female fans who are so obsessed with her that they have based their entire appearance off her. And yes, they're as hot-tempered as she is.
- Genius Ditz: In season one. While she was pretty good with technology, in fact making her own inventions sometimes, she was as dumb as a box of rocks.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's bossy, snarky, aggressive, bratty, and has a wicked short temper, but she has the biggest heart on the whole show, and has a very soft spot for animals.
- Lethal Chef: Her cooking is so terrible that it got her kicked out of the Logfire Girls.
- Little Miss Snarker: Often.
- Loving Bully: On some occasions.
- Missing Mom: Her mother is never seen or heard of.
- Only Sane Man: Only Sane Woman: Certainly not in the early episodes, but she slowly starts to grow into this role as the show goes on - especially as the show begins to emphasize Henry's arrogant Butt-Monkey status. By the third and fourth seasons, Henry and June were trading off on this role, and often both played Only Sane Man to another character who was even sillier than they were.
- Platonic Life-Partners: With Henry, according to Word of God.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Henry's red.
- Scout-Out: The episode The KaBlair! Witch Project reveals that she used to be a "Logfire Girl", but was given the boot for her horrible cooking.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: She's shown to be quite beautiful in a dress (as beautiful as the crude art style can get, of course).
- Short Tank: She will wear a dress for more formal occasions, but it's stated in one episode that she dislikes wearing them and only does when she's made to.
- Tomboy: To the point that a lot of people were shocked to discover that she's a girl.
- Tomboyish Ponytail: She wears her hair in a short ponytail.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In season three.
- Took a Level in Kindness: The following (and final) season.
- Tsundere: Type B: She's usually sweet, enjoyable to be around, and laid-back. However, when something bad happens (like Henry giving her crap or something won't go her way), take cover.
- Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: The poster child for this trope.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Her relationship with Henry.
- With Friends Like These...: She constantly argues with Henry, and if he ever gets into trouble, don't expect her to help him.
- Your Costume Needs Work: In the episode In It To Win It, where she met a group of obsessed, cosplaying fans of hers.
Mr. B. Foot
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: He's a sasquatch that, for some reason, works for the network.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Parodied in one episode.
- The Voiceless: Except for one moment in mid-season one.
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: As stated above, he never hurts June - Henry, however, is fair game. Granted, it's possible this has less to do with having a code against harming women and more to do with B. Foot despising Henry more.
Mr. Fred Stockdale
- Cloudcuckoolander: He's a Take That! at executives everywhere: he's got the coherence of a five-year-old, more senile craziness than Mayor Adam West, and often has absolutely no idea what the show he controls actually is.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: While he's far from villainous, it seems he'll do anything for good ratings.
- Heroic BSoD: Dawn explains that he hasn't been the same since Charlie's Angels was canceled.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: In the episode The KaBlair! Witch Project, it's mentioned that he's served in an unspecified war... and several of his actions in the episode show that he still hasn't gotten over it.
Sniz and Fondue
Sniz Bronkowski
Voiced by: Rick Gomez
Sniz is a crazy little ferret who loves comic books and motorcycles. Often getting into trouble, while his older roommate Fondue tries to calm him down.
- Catchphrase: "Snap me down!" and "Holy fruits!"
- Informed Species: It's never actually said outright in the show and even Henry and June don't know what he and his roommates are, but they're ferrets.
- Pretty Butterflies: He had one that died because he left it in an airtight jar.
- Spiky Hair: He needs loads of gel every day to keep it spiky.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Well, he is a ferret after all.
Squeaky Fondue
Voiced by: Oscar Riba
Fondue is Sniz's older roommate. He's skilled at cooking and drawing. Like Sniz, he's a pretty huge fanboy.
- Continuity Nod: In the Sniz and Fondue pilot "Psyched For Snuppa", Fondue was called Squeaky. The show proper keeps the name as Fondue's rarely-used first name.
- Informed Species: Albeit slightly less than Sniz, as he's taller with a longer body.
- Last-Name Basis: Fondue's first name is rarely said.
- Straight Man: To Sniz.
Life with Loopy
Loopicia "Loopy" Cooper
Voiced by: Danielle Judovits
A crazy and imaginative seven-year-old who gets into all sorts of odd situations- Annoying Younger Sibling: Generally Averted. However, in the upside-down episode, she annoyed her family with pocket fallout and the sound of suction cups.
- Cheerful Child: She's very energetic.
- Cloudcuckoolander: She isn't called "Loopy" for nothing.
- Creepy Child: At times. When she was making her "Snow-Lady", she put strawberry ice cream in the snow-lady's head and said "it's her brains!"
- And in the beginning of one short, she's shown holding a chainsaw up to one of her toys.
- Friend to All Living Things: And non-living. She made friends with a snow-lady.
- Girlish Pigtails: Her usual hairstyle.
- Literal-Minded: Takes everything she hears literally, yet 99% of the time, her crazy theories turn out to be true (such as the existence of an actual flu bug, the man in the moon, and becoming what you eat).
- For example, Larry is about to give a scientific explanation for thunder, but their mother sums it up as, "The sound of Mother Nature bowling." Because the thunderstorm is keeping her awake, Loopy grabs a bowling ball, walks outside, and challenges Mother Nature to a bowling match. And Mother Nature accepts the challenge.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Her full name is Loopecia.
- Pretty Butterflies: In Butterfly Loopy she literally became one.
- Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Averted. Unlike June, she is not hot-tempered and bratty, but she's more adventurous and open.
- Who Names Their Kid Loopy?
Larry Cooper
- Character Narrator: For the Life with Loopy shorts.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kinda. He can be mean to Loopy sometimes (like most siblings), but is really warm-hearted.
- Limited Wardrobe: Somewhat averted, as he has two usual outfits.
- Shower Scene: He got one in an early episode (from the waist up, of course). This scene was quite popular with fangirls.
- Spiky Hair: His usual hairstyle.
- Supporting Protagonist: He's the viewpoint character, and Character Narrator, but the actual focus is his sister.

Voiced by: Mischa Barton
Betty-Anne is the (unofficial) leader of The Off-Beats.
- Blind Without 'Em: Her without her glasses.

- Image Song: "My name is Betty-Anne Bongo! I Sing this little song-o! I sing it all day long-o!"

- Meaningful Name: She has long hair, after all.
- Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Repunzil isn't a very common name.

- Charlie Brown Baldness: He has a strand of hair above his forehead.
- Expy: Of Linus from Peanuts.

- The Smart Guy: The smartest member of the Off-Beats.
September
- Deadpan Snarker: Gosh, even more than June!
- Talking Animal: He's able to talk unlike other dogs.
- Team Pet
Prometheus and Bob
- Big, Thin, Short Trio: Bob is the Big, Prometheus is the Thin, and The Monkey is the Short.
- Chromatic Arrangement: Prometheus is purple, Bob is peach, and The Monkey is brown.
- Freudian Trio
- Prometheus: Intelligent, strict, and mostly no-nonsense (Superego)
- Bob: Dumb, Gullible, but persuasive (Ego)
- The Monkey: Arrogant, a Jerkass, and a trickster (Id)
- Speed, Smarts and Strength: The Monkey is fast, Prometheus is smart, and Bob is strong.
Prometheus
A purple alien with a remote-controlled video camera, trying to teach Bob about various things.
- Ancient Astronauts: Arrived on Earth 900,000 years ago and attempted to educate a caveman. This did not work out in his favor.
- Butt-Monkey: Nothing goes his way, and he has no choice but to continue to try.
- Can't Get Away with Nuthin': A few shorts reveal that trying to educate Bob is his job, and the few moments where he gives up, his higher-ups will immediately come in and reprimand him.
- The Chew Toy: Much of the cartoon's humor revolves around whatever disaster befalls Prometheus during his efforts, and his teachings never sink through to Bob.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Prometheus gets upset very easily. Probably not the best trait in someone trying to educate a less intelligent life form.
- Meaningful Name: Like the Greek Prometheus bringing fire to humanity, he hopes to make Bob brighter.
- The Unintelligible: At first, it sounds like he's Speaking Simlish, when in truth, he actually is speaking English, it's just that his voice was heavily modulated. Incidentally, "Bob" is codenamed such because that's what it sounds like Prometheus is calling him.
- Ultimate Job Security: Despite his complete lack of results, his bosses settle for yelling at him instead of pulling him from the "educate the caveman" duty.
- Vocal Evolution: As the series progressed, the modulation in Prometheus’ voice would gradually subside to the point where his voice sounded a little more organic by the series' conclusion.
Bob
"Hey!"
A caveman, understandably a slow learner, to Prometheus' ire.
- Aerith and Bob: Literally!
- Beware the Silly Ones: There are several moments where Bob gets frustrated whenever he feels provoked, usually by the monkey's antics.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Bob has these, despite losing the rest of his hair.
- Cannot Talk to Women: In "Dating", Prometheus tried to fix Bob up with a cavewoman, but Bob is too nervous to talk to her.
- The Ditz: Justified considering Neanderthals didn't have the mental capacity to understand the complex concepts Prometheus was trying to teach.
- Dumb Muscle: Bob has shown some impressive feats of strength that would end in disaster. In "Exercise", Bob tried to do a pull-up on a tree branch, only to pull down the entire tree, destroying Prometheus's saucer in the process.
- Extreme Omnivore: Some of the things he eats include cement and a magnet.
- Fear Is the Appropriate Response: Whenever Bob is approached by a wild predator, his instincts tell him to be scared.
- Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Used to have a full head of hair, but he lasered it off in Tape #1.
- The Unintelligible: Aside from the occasional "Hey!" you can't really understand what he says.
- Vocal Evolution: Bob's voice started out deeper and gruffer and gradually became higher and dopier.
The Monkey
A monkey who sometimes joins in the lessons, often damaging the camera or Prometheus' other equipment with his antics.
- Big Guy, Little Guy: In "Boxing", Bob scares the monkey away during when they prepare to spar, then the money comes back with a taller monkey friend of his to scare off Bob.
- Blowing a Raspberry: The monkey would occasionally taunt the duo with one of these.
- It Amused Me: The monkey's primary motivation for interfering with Prometheus' teachings.
- Jerkass: Very much so. He deliberately ruins Prometheus' lessons because he thinks it's funny.
- Sapient Eat Sapient: Tape #1 shows that Bob's tribe had originally intended to eat the monkey, which might explain why he's so hostile to the whole set-up.
- The Scrounger: The monkey is shown to be quite resourceful at times.
- Silly Simian: Though it always causes trouble, the monkey is a key part of the skits.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: In spite of his tendency to cause trouble, the monkey has been willing to aid Prometheus on occasion.
- The Trickster: The monkey is clearly smarter than Bob, but generally uses his smarts to annoy Prometheus and manipulate Bob into ruining the lessons for laughs.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Prometheus indirectly saved the monkey from Bob's tribe in Tape #1, but the monkey couldn't care less and would rather mess with the alien more than help him.
