Here is a listing of the characters featured in the
Warner Bros. series
Tiny Toon Adventures.
Buster Bunny
The male cohost of the show.
Looney Tunes counterpart:
Bugs Bunny. Voiced by
Charlie Adler until Season 3, when John Kassir replaced him.
Tropes:
Babs Bunny
The female cohost of the show.
Looney Tunes counterpart: Bugs Bunny again (particularly the Bugs Bunny that dresses in drag to trick his enemies). (
Note: To avoid confusion,
Lola Bunny didn't exist when this show was on the air, so Babs is not modeled after that character which means Lola is possibly modeled after Babs.) Note that both Babs and Buster apply the
Pink Girl, Blue Boy trope directly. Voiced by
Tress MacNeille.
Tropes:
Plucky Duck
Looney Tunes counterpart: Daffy Duck. Voiced by Joe Alaskey.
Tropes:
Ham(p)ton J. Pig
Looney Tunes counterpart: Porky Pig. Voiced by Don Messick.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He's very sweet-natured, and usually tries to avoid conflict, but DO NOT push him too far. Seriously. Just don't.
- Big Eater
- The Chew Toy
- Neat Freak
- Sidekick: When Plucky is hired as Buster and Bab's sidekick, he complains, "Hamton's a sidekick! He has all the earmarks of a sidekick!" and promptly pulls Hamton's ear to reveal the word "sidekick". Interestingly, Hamton ended up being Plucky's sidekick in a lot of the shorts, most notably the Batman parody, in which he plays "Decoy", Batduck's answer to Robin.
- Species Surname
- The Smart Guy
- Spell My Name with an S: The correct spelling is "Hamton", though some fans still somehow hear a "p" in the middle.
- It might also have to do with the fact that Hamton's name was actually misspelled in one of the show's credits as Hampton.
- The Straight Man: The trope title is actually used when he applied to join the cast because "I react to characters funnier than I am."
Dizzy Devil
Looney Tunes counterpart: The Tasmanian Devil. Voiced by
Maurice LaMarche.
Montana Max
Looney Tunes counterpart: Yosemite Sam. Voiced by Danny Cooksey
Tropes:
Elmyra Duff
Looney Tunes counterpart: Elmer Fudd. Voiced by Cree Summer.
Tropes:
Fifi la Fume
Looney Tunes counterpart: Pepe Le Pew. Voiced by Kath Soucie.
Tropes:
- Abhorrent Admirer: Though, much like her Spear Counterpart (Pepe), it's only her smell that is abhorrent. She's not like the typical female Abhorrent Admirer, who's Hollywood Homely, Hollywood Pudgy (or even real-world pudgy), or obsessed with her object of desire to the point that she will hurt or kill him if he ever rejected her.
- Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animal: The three lead cheerleaders, Babs, Shirley and Fifi, represent three different aspects: Babs Bunny is implied to be fully dressed (many times we see up her dress and half the time she's not) but goes without shoes. Shirley wears a hairbow and pink sweater but no pants. Fifi, for the most part, wears just a hairbow; there will be times she may wear clothes but is usually nude.
- Berserk Button: Never give her photograph to someone else or mistake her for a cat.
- Though these probably weren't caused by "buttons" so much as situation. In the case of the photo, it was most likely just because she spent the better part of that episode working just to GET the photo, so suddenly taking it back from her and giving it to another for free would, in all likelihood, piss ANYONE off... the cat thing was probably simply due to her getting literally BURIED in cat related objects, at every corner, and was probably just really angry when she came to that conclusion... rather than the conclusion itself making her go berserk...
- Designated Monkey: She is usually abused and ignored for no reason.
- Everything Sounds Sexier in French
- Funny Foreigner
- Hair Decorations
- Interspecies Romance: Like Pepe, she mistakes other animals for fellow skunks and runs after them. Her hit list has included Furrball, Calamity, Dizzy, and Hamton, who took her to the prom.
- No Guy Wants To Be Chased: This is her main problem, though it's because of her smell, even though unlike her Looney Tunes counterpart, she doesn't mind being chased by guys.
- Prehensile Tail
- Ridiculously Cute Critter
- Smelly Skunk: Unlike Pepe, she can actually control her scent.
- Spell My Name with an S: Some people (including some who claim to be the aforementioned fans) still think her name is "Le Fume".
- Like Hamton as noted above, this is probably because the credits sometimes misspelled it as "Le Fume".
Shirley McLoon
Looney Tunes counterpart: Melissa Duck. Voiced by Gail Matthius.
Tropes:
Furrball
Looney Tunes counterpart: Sylvester (Although he also shares traits with Penelope). Voiced by
Frank Welker when voiced at all, except for one episode when
Rob Paulsen voiced him instead.
Tropes:
Sweetie Pie
Looney Tunes counterpart: Tweety. Voiced by
Candi Milo.
Tropes:
Calamity Coyote
Looney Tunes counterpart: Wile E. Coyote.
Tropes:
- Nice Guy: Aside from the few times he's shown chasing Lil' Beeper, (which he doesn't even seem to enjoy or know why he's doing it) Calamity is generally depicted as a perfectly nice person and a helpful friend to the other characters in the show.
- The Smart Guy
- Species Surname
- Talking With Signs: It was always troublesome whenever he wanted to talk on the phone.
- The Voiceless: In fact, he's spoken even fewer lines than his Looney Tunes counterpart.
Little Beeper
Looney Tunes counterpart: Road Runner.
Tropes:
- Jerkass: He has run over Calamity with a truck for no reason many times (often straight after another painful expirence). Even worse is in 'A Piece of Mind' in a flashback, it's hinted that Beeper and Calamity are actually adoptive brothers. Yikes...
- Super Speed
Fowlmouth
Looney Tunes counterpart: Foghorn Leghorn. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.
Tropes:
- American Accents: Joisey.
- Hollywood Tourette's: Never called out by name, but treated exactly like it otherwise.
- Interspecies Romance: Has a crush on Shirley the Loon.
- One-Scene Wonder: Well, two-episode wonder, at least. He was only really in one normal episode (focusing on him) and the "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" movie, but he was very prominent in both of those appearances.
- Sir Swearsalot: Yet his swears are always bleeped out of course... Paulson may not even be making real curse words! His most frequent choice is "dadgumit"!
Concord Condor
Looney Tunes counterpart: Beaky Buzzard.
Tropes:
Gogo Dodo
Looney Tunes counterpart: The Dodo from "
Porky in Wackyland", who is apparently his father.
Tropes:
Li'l Sneezer
Looney Tunes counterpart: Sniffles. Also voiced by Kath Soucie.
Tropes:
Byron Basset
Looney Tunes counterpart: Sam the Sheepdog.
Mary Melody
Looney Tunes counterpart: None, though she does bear a coincidental resemblance to So White from "
Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs".
Tropes:
Marcia the Martian
Looney Tunes counterpart: Marvin the Martian.
- One-Scene Wonder: Though not super-popular herself, being based on Marvin (while only being in one episode) gives her this quality.
- Totally Radical: She uses "Daddio" a lot. The rest of her vocabulary is oddly normal.
Lightning Rodriguez
Looney Tunes counterpart: Speedy Gonzales.
Arnold the Pitbull
Julie Bruin
The Flea Family (Mama, Papa, Itchy and Flio)
The Original Looney Tunes
Bosko The Talk Ink Kid and his girlfriend Honey, as well as Foxy and Roxy and Goopy Geer. These guys were the original stars for the Warner Bros. cartoon studio in the early 30's, and after that time were abandoned and drifted into cartoon limbo for decades...until they were brought back for the episodes "Fields of Honey" and "Two-Tone Town".
- A Day in the Limelight: Both of the episodes they respectively appear in.
- Art Evolution: The characters (sans Goopy Geer) look nothing like they did in their original appearances, looking more like a combination of the 30's rubberhose style with the 40's pears and spheres style, and with Bosko and Honey getting their species changed into dog like designs. Although there's a good reason for this—Bosko and Honey were originally caricatures of old time ministrel black people, and Foxy and Roxy were shameless copies of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Goopy was never an ersatz of any character (and no, he was not an ersatz of Goofy, who first appeared a month after Goopy Geer made his debut) so he only recieved a mild redesign.
- Poorly Disguised Pilot: Both episodes are clear forerunners to Tiny Toons' Spiritual Successor, Animaniacs. The characters redesigns are even suspiciously similar to those of Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
