    Marcia the Martian 

Looney Tunes counterpart: Marvin the Martian.
Voiced by: Tress MacNeille.

  • Totally Radical: She uses "Daddio" a lot. The rest of her vocabulary is oddly normal. Despite the fans thinking Marcia is Marvin's niece, according to "Duck Dodgers Jr. co-writer Mike Kazelah, Marcia is actually Marvin's daughter.

    Lightning Rodriguez 

Looney Tunes counterpart: Speedy Gonzales.

  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He only makes two brief appearances on the show (one being a still shot) before being removed entirely out of concerns that his character would be too offensive.

    Sandy Witch 

Voiced by: Sally Struthers
Looney Tunes counterpart: Witch Hazel

  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She first appears in the form of a cutesy girl offering Babs and Buster a meal, but it soon turns out that she's really a witch and that she was really trying to fatten them up so she could eat them.
  • Forced Transformation: Buster defeats her by using magic dust to turn her into a fish in a bowl.
  • Punny Name: Her name sounds close to "sandwich".
  • Wicked Witch

    The Flea Family 

The Flea Family (Mama, Papa, Itchy and Flio)

Voiced by: Tress MacNeille, JimCummings, Cree Summer, and Whitby Hertford, respectively.

A group of fleas who happen to live on Furrball's back.

    Elmyra's Family 

Elmyra's Family (Emily, MacArthur, Amanda, Duncan, Baby, and Grandma)

Voiced By: Matt Frewer (MacArthur) Tress MacNeille (Emily and Baby), Soleil Moon Frye (Amanda), Whitby Hertford (Duncan), and Fran Ryan (Grandma).

Elmyra Duff's family, consisting of her mother (Emily), father (MacArthur), older sister (Amanda), two younger brothers (Duncan and Baby), and grandmother (Grandma). They appear in the episodes, "Take Elmyra Please" and "Grandma's Dead.

  • Alliterative Name: Both Duncan's first and last names begin with D.
  • A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: Amanda and Elmyra are the girls, Duncan is the boy, and Baby is the baby.
  • Bratty Teenage Daughter: Amanda.
  • The Cameo: The Duff Family have made a few cameo appearances as extras on Animaniacs. In particular, Emily appeared in the episode, "You Risk Your Life" as a contestant, under the pseudonym "Myra Puntridge".
  • Chubby Mama, Skinny Papa: Emily is the Chubby Mama to Mac's Skinny Papa.
  • A Day in the Limelight: They are the main focus of the episodes they appear in.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Duncan acts as the responsible sibling to Elmyra's foolish sibling.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While Amanda does tell Duncan to get a life and talks harshly to both him and Elmyra, she does show a small act of kindness towards Elmyra in "Grandma's Dead" when one of her pet hamsters dies. She tries to cheer her up, telling her, "Come on, don't be sad, be the other way".
  • Kid Hero: Duncan has two superhero alter-egos; Ninja Boy in "Take Elmyra Please" and Captain Quark in "Grandma's Dead".
  • No Name Given: Baby and Grandma don't seem to have their own names.
  • Phone A Holic Teenager: In "Take Elmyra Please", Amanda is seen talking to her unseen friend, Stephanie on the phone, until Emily calls her over to assist her with calming Baby back to sleep. During their conversation, Amanda tells Stephanie that she is lucky to live in a family whose parents are always gone and without brothers, sisters, or pets.
  • Poorly Disguised Pilot: The two episodes they appeared in were meant to serve as part of a spin-off focusing on them. Although the series was never picked up, Elmyra did eventually end up starring in another show, which they got left out of.
  • Super-Strong Child: In "Take Elmyra Please", Baby has super strength, which he uses to bend the bars on his crib and go on a mini-rampage in the living room. However, in "Grandma's Dead", he does not display any of his strengths and acts more like a typical baby.
  • Superheroes Wear Capes: Duncan wears a black and red cape as part of his superhero alter-egos.

    Hamton's Family 

Hamton's Family (Wade, Winnie, Uncle Stinky, Pappy, and Bubbie)

Voiced By: Jonathan Winters (Wade, How I Spent My Vacation), Joe Alaskey (Wade, later appearances), Edie McClurg (Winnie), Frank Welker (Uncle Stinky), JimCummings (Pappy), Tress MacNeille (Bubbie).

Hamton J. Pig's family, consisting of his parents, Wade and Winnie, his Uncle Stinky, and his grandparents, Pappy and Bubbie. Wade, Winnie, and Uncle Stinky were prominently featured in Plucky and Hamton's sub-plot of How I Spent My Vacation and have appeared in a few episodes in the second and third seasons of the show. Pappy and Bubbie were prominently featured in Plucky and Hamton's sub-plot of the Spring Break special.

  • Alliterative Name: Pappy's first and last names begin with P.
  • Carnivore Confusion:
    • In How I Spent My Vacation, the Pig family unknowingly pick up an escaped maniac hitchhiker. While they are all in the car, the radio announces that the madman is driven berserk by exposure to any sort of "pork product". The pigs sniff the air and actually seem to find their smell quite appetizing.
    • In "Hog Wild Hamton", Winnie reveals that Uncle Stinky couldn't babysit Hamton while she and Wade went out on their second honeymoon because he went out of town to the Bacon Convention.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Uncle Stinky may be unhygenic and smelly, but even he joins the rest of Hamton's family in putting on hazmat-type suits so they can clean the gas station restrooms before they use them.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: The Pig family can't seem to realize that Mr. Hitcher is probably a dangerous criminal, even with the chainsaw and hockey mask. Even worse is that they gave him Plucky's address, rather than their own.
  • Incredibly Lame Fun: The Pig family like to pass the time with family-friendly songs and car games such as "Spot the Car" and holding their breaths in tunnels. Double subverted even in that they agree going to HappyWorldLand, one of the best theme parks in the country is a fun thing, but not only is the trip hellishly boring (and hellish in general) for Plucky, but once they arrive, they refuse to ride any of the attractions so there'll be suspense for next year's trip.
  • Informed Judaism: Pappy and Bubbie both speak with Yiddish accents.
  • Leitmotif: The Pig family is represented by "Turkey in the Straw" and "Pop Goes the Weasel", which is also constantly hummed by Wade.
  • Messy Pig: Uncle Stinky lives up to his name, as he is very unhygenic and smelly.
  • Species Surname: They are all pigs with the surname "Pig".
  • Too Dumb to Live:
    • The Pig family gives a prime example as to why picking up hitchhikers can be dangerous. The hitchhiker in question turned out to be an Ax-Crazy maniac who goes into a murderous rampage over the smell of pork, and duck. Plucky ended up being the only one who realized the danger everyone was in. To top it off, in the end, it's revealed that Hamton ended up giving the killer Plucky's address.
    • Earlier in the film, they crashed through Plucky's fake road barrier in an attempt to film the odometer hitting 100,000 miles. It's one thing that they ran over Plucky and completely destroyed his barrier, but if it were a real road barrier, things could turn out very badly for the family...
  • The Unintelligible: Uncle Stinky communicates through pig noises rather than human speech.

    Roderick Rat 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/golfer_roderick.png
Voiced by: Charlie Adler (English), Issei Futamata (Japanese)

A malicious, cruel, snooty, rich male rat who attends Perfecto Prep and aspires to being Buster's arch-enemy.

  • Alliterative Name: First and last name both begin with R.
  • Corrupted Character Copy: Besides being the Evil Counterpart to Buster, Roderick is this to Disney icon Mickey Mouse.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Buster.
  • The Goomba: He is the most common enemy in most of the video games, arguably having even more appearances in the games than in the show itself.
  • Jerkass: He and Rhubella are snooty, Rich Bitches who believe they are above anybody with less money than they have.
  • Species Surname: He's a rat named Rat.
  • You Dirty Rat!: They are the antagonists of Buster, Babs and Acme Loo in all of their appearances, whether it be playing against them for Perfecto Prep in sports (usually cheating), or intentionally tormenting or shunning them in some way.

    Rhubella Rat 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rhubella_Rat_203.jpg
Voiced by: Tress MacNeille

Roderick's female partner, essentially Babs' counterpart in the Perfecto Prep bullies.

  • Alliterative Name: First and last names begin with R.
  • Alpha Bitch: One of the most popular kids at Perfecto Prep, with an arrogant, unpleasant personality.
  • Corrupted Character Copy: Rhubella is this to Minnie Mouse.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Babs.
  • Jerkass: She and Roderick are snooty, Rich Bitches who believe they are above anybody with less money than they have.
  • Species Surname: She's a rat, obviously.
  • You Dirty Rat!: They are the antagonists of Buster, Babs and Acme Loo in all of their appearances, whether it be playing against them for Perfecto Prep in sports (usually cheating), or intentionally tormenting or shunning them in some way.

    Danforth Drake and Margot Mallard 

Voiced by: Rob Paulsen and Kath Soucie, respectively.

Malicious ducks who attend Perfecto Prep, a rival toon university, serving as Evil Counterparts to Plucky and Shirley.

    Sphinxy 

Voiced by: Susan Blu

    Dr. Gene Splicer 

Voiced by: Jeff Altman

The Big Bad of the episode, "Hare Raising Night". He is a Mad Scientist who specializes in making Mix-and-Match Critters, most notably Melvin the Monster.

  • Big Bad Ensemble: Aside from Montana Max, he's the main villain of the Buster's Hidden Treasure video game.
  • Big Boo's Haunt: Stage 1-3 of the NES videogame takes place in a haunted house that houses his laboratory, where he is fought as the boss at the end.
  • The Dragon: To Montana Max in the NES videogame. He serves as the boss of the first stage.
  • Expy: Splicer is a caricature of series writer Doug McCarthy. The gag credit for "Hare Raising Night" even pokes fun at this.
  • Hypno Trinket: He has created mind control helmets, which he has used on Melvin The Monster in "Hare Raising Night" and the Buster Busts Loose video game, as well as Dizzy, Calamity, Plucky, and Hamton in the Buster's Hidden Treasure video game.
  • Mad Scientist
  • Meaningful Name: He specializes in making Mix-and-Match Critters.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: In his very first scene, Splicer is described as being a certified looney who performs deranged animal mutation experiments, proven when three guinea pigs cower in fear as he takes ones of them away, presumably to perform a heinous experiment on before the camera cuts to static. Things get worse when Buster and his friends arrive at his laboratory to rescue the captive animals (under the false impression that Buster was taking them to the Emmy awards), as he takes Plucky away for his brain, is extremely abusive to his creation Melvin, tries to mutate Buster and his friends near the end of the episode, and then falls into his own vat of mutation goo.

    Melvin the Monster 

Voiced by: JimCummings

One of Dr. Gene Splicer's many Mix-and-Match Critters.

  • Interspecies Romance: He has a crush on Babs Bunny. Given his various animal parts, this could count as a multi-interspecies romance.
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: He has the head of a bulldog, the horns of a bull, the body of an orangutan, the wings of a bat, the legs of a pig, and the tail of an alligator.
  • Suddenly Voiced: He mostly speaks in growls, roars, and the occasional woof. When Babs and Splicer argue over who he should help, he briefly breaks character and says, "I feel so torn.".

    The Woodpile Possum Clan 

Voiced by: Rob Paulsen (Banjo)

The first antagonistic group that Buster and Babs meet during the journey downriver as part of How I Spent My Vacation; a clan of seven deformed-looking possum hicks who live in the backriver regions of Acme Acres. Although the youngest son, Banjo, takes a swift liking to Buster for his ability to use his own body as a pseudo-banjo, the rest of the clan immediately seizes upon the plan of eating Babs for lunch. At the movie's end, Banjo helps rescue the bunnies and ultimately moves to Acme Acres to attend the Looniversity himself. The Woodpile Possums also appear in the season 2 episode "Acme Cable TV" as a spoof of The Beverly Hillbillies opening theme, whilst Banjo himself shows up in the season 3 episode "Music Day", both in the wrap-around and in the sketch "The Horn Blows At Lunchtime".

  • Cannibal Clan: The Woodpile Possums don't care if meat talks or not, as Babs learns right after meeting them.
  • Fat Bastard: Most of the cannibalistic possums are quite rotund, bar one male and the young female, who're Lean and Mean instead.
  • Foil: To the Boo Family. Both are Cannibal Clans, but the Possums are dim-witted, savage, low-class and straight-forward predators, whilst the Boos act more refined and cultured, and so force their victims to go through a wedding ceremony first before eating them. Additionally, the Possums are mostly males, but the Boos are almost all female, and the Possums have a non-villainous clanmember, which the Boos don't.
  • The Grotesque: Pretty much all of the possums are hideous-looking creatures.
  • Hillbilly Horrors: A talking animals version, but they are dim-witted, ugly, swamp-dwelling hicks who try to kill and eat other sapients who wander their way. In "Acme Cable TV", Banjo explicitly calls his clan "inbred" at one point.
  • Shout-Out: The first encounter with Banjo is an extended reference to the famous Dueling Banjos scene from Deliverance — Banjo even looks something like the deformed banjo-playing kid from that move.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The Woodpile Possums consist of seven possums in total; Banjo, a diaper-wearing baby possum who could be either male or female, a family matriarch and patriarch, a female possum, and two male possums, meaning that there's either 4 males and 3 females or 5 males and 2 females in the clan.
  • Token Heroic Orc: Banjo, who actually rescues Buster & Babs in the finale of their storyline, assures them that he's not like the rest of his kinsfolk, and decides to abandon the swamp-dwelling cannibal lifestyle to get an education at the Looniversity.

    The Boo Family 

Voiced by: Tress Macneille (Big Boo), Gail Matthius (Sissy boo), Kath Soucie (Little Boo) and Sorrel Burke (Big Daddy Boo).

The second antagonistic group that Buster and Babs meet during the journey downriver as part of How I Spent My Vacation; a crazy clan of carnivorous alligators consisting of three females — Big Boo, Sissy Boo and Little Boo — and their father, Daddy Boo, all of whom enjoy abducting and consuming unlucky travelers after forcing them to marry one (or more!) of the Boo sisters.

  • Big, Thin, Short Trio: Big Boo is the Big, Sissy Boo is the Thin, and Little Boo is the Short.
  • Cannibal Clan: Well, the cartoon animal equivalent thereof, but they are a back-river dwelling clan of lunatics who enjoy feasting on their fellow sapients.
  • Exotic Extended Marriage: When the three Boo Sisters start squabbling over which of them will get to marry Buster, Big Daddy ends the fight by simply stating that they'll all marry him.
  • Fat Bastard: Daddy Boo, the family patriarch and a hugely fat cannibal in the bargain.
  • Foil: To the Possums introduced earlier. Both are Cannibal Clans, but each is quite different to the other. The Boos consist of three females and one male, whilst the Possums consist of more males than females. The Possums are stereotypical savage, deformed, killer hillbillies, who simply leap on and attempt to devour whoever comes their way, whilst the Boos present an aristocratic mien and insist on doing things in the "well-mannered" way by wedding their victims before eating them. The Possums have a token non-villainous member, if the form of Banjo, whilst the Boos are all just straight-up villains. Finally, although both want to eat the bunnies, the Possums are more interested in eating Babs (perhaps because Buster's ability to make music with his body impresses them), whilst the Boos want to eat Buster.
  • Interspecies Romance: Zigzagged; the Boo Sisters are quite happy to flirt with and attempt to marry Buster, a male rabbit, despite being gators, but that's at least partially because they're going to eat him afterwards.
  • Literal Maneater: As is made clear in their scenes, the Boo Sisters' modus operandi is to force unlucky men into marrying them, only to serve their "husband" up as the wedding feast after the ceremony is over.
  • Marshmallow Hell: The Boo Sisters relish smothering Buster in their bosoms when they can get ahold of him.
  • Non-Mammalian Mammaries: Despite being alligators, the Boo Sisters all sport very considerable cleavage.
  • Southern Belle: The Boo Sisters are all perfectly sweet Southern aristocrat girls... aside from the whole "eating their suitors" thing, of course. Complete with Southern Accents, of course.

    Mr. Hitcher 

Voiced by: Rob Paulsen

The Big Bad of the direct-to-video movie, How I Spent My Vacation. He is a chainsaw-weilding hitchhiker with a psychotic aversion to pork and duck.

  • Alone with the Psycho: Only Plucky is aware that the hitchhiker Hamton and his family have picked up is an escaped homicidal convict. Said convict has a "psychotic aversion to pork". Despite this, Mr. Hitcher ignores the family of pigs he’s among to try and kill Plucky.
  • Ax-Crazy: Or more accurately, Chainsaw Crazy.
  • Big Bad: Of How I Spent My Vacation. Though he doesn't appear until the second half of the movie, he still antagonized Plucky, Hamton, Buster, and Babs the most.
  • Disney Villain Death: During his chase with Buster and Babs on a mine cart, he falls off a cliff and into a river. Being an Expy of Jason Voorhees, he survives to chase Plucky in the closing song.
  • Expy: Of Jason Voorhees.
  • Hockey Mask and Chainsaw
  • Hostile Hitchhiker: He tries to attack Plucky after Hamton's family picks him up.
  • Informed Attribute: His supposed "aversion" to pork isn't really shown, as he focuses solely on going after Plucky, and barely even acknowledges Hamton and his family.
  • Joker Immunity: Being an Expy of Jason Voorhees, he is able to survive being pounded into the ground by a telephone pole he cuts down and falling off a cliff and landing in a river.
  • Karma Houdini: Although he never actually kills any of his intended targets, Mr. Hitcher never gets arrested or killed for his violent behavior. He even shows up at the end to continue chasing Plucky.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: As a parody of Jason Voorhees and John Ryder, he spends much of the movie trying to kill Plucky, Buster, and Babs. The sequence where he chases the latter two through a mine has him swing his chainsaw wildly about as he tears the mine apart with it, causing it to collapse. He even does it with a really deranged look on his face.

    Binky Bunny 

Voiced by: Tress MacNeille

One of Buster's interviewees for a new co-host for Tiny Toon Adventures when Babs left ACME Acres for New York to audition for the titular Show Within a Show in "Thirteensomething".

  • Alliterative Name: Both her first and last names begin with B.
  • Brainless Beauty: She may be beautiful on the outside, but she doesn't understand the "No relation" joke that Buster and Babs perform regularly. Buster ends up declining her audition because of this, "much to his deepest regret".

    Bimbette 

Voiced by: Kath Soucie

  • Head-Turning Beauty: She catches Johnny Pew's eye seconds before she actually appears on-screen.
  • Ms. Fanservice: A tall, curvaceous girl whose attire basically amounts to a shoulderless swimsuit.
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: The Pink Girl to Johnny Pew's Blue Boy.
  • Prehensile Tail: While flirting with Johnny, she wraps her tail around him and uses it to tickle his chin.

    Johnny Pew 

Voiced By: Rob Paulsen

A skunk movie star, and the main antagonist of Fifi's events of the direct-to-video movie, How I Spent My Vacation.

  • Foreshadowing: We see Johnny's true nature from the moment he dismissively gives Fifi a handkerchief and is visibly freaked out by her clingy reaction.
  • Jaw Drop: His main reaction to catching sight of Bimbette.
  • Jerkass: All Fifi wants from him is his autograph, and not only does he make her do everything for him, when he sees Bimbette, he gives Fifi's picture to her.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: For taking advantage of Fifi's kindly nature and giving her photograph away to Bimbette, Fifi kicks him out of the movie theater, where he lands in the hands of Elmyra Duff and becomes her pet "kitty" (a fate Fifi herself knew all too well).
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He is a skunk caricature of Johnny Depp.
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: The Blue Boy to Bimbette's Pink Girl.
  • Pretty Boy: Both Fifi and Bimbette find him handsome.
  • Taking Advantage of Generosity: He makes Fifi do whatever he wants for a promise of an autograph he has no intention of keeping.

    Plucky's Dream Girl 

Voiced by: Gail Matthius

  • Interspecies Romance: At the end of the Spring Break Special, she hooks up with Hamton after Buster and Babs trick Elmyra into thinking that Plucky is the Easter Bunny. She finds Hamton cuter than Plucky.
  • No Name Given: Her real name is never revealed.
  • Walking Swimsuit Scene: Her only outfit is a pink swimsuit.

    Duck Vader 

Voiced by: Jeff Bergman

The Big Bad of the episode, "A Quack in the Quarks", and a parody of Darth Vader from the Star Wars franchise.

    Silas Wonder 
Voiced by: Frank Welker

The owner of Silas Wonder's Wonderful Circus of Wonderment, and the main antagonist of the episode, "Sawdust and Toonsil".

  • Disney Villain Death: Silas meets his demise when his engine falls off a cliff.
  • Karmic Death: For capturing and mistreating Gogo and his friends, Silas drives his engine off a cliff trying to chase after them, and the resulting fall sends him to Heck, with the Big Red Devil chuckling that now his collection of the worst people who ever lived is complete.
  • Repulsive Ringmaster: He captures rare and exotic animals (practically poaching them), and extorts them for profit.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Silas is one of the show's darkest villains, being a sinister-looking ringmaster who is extremely abusive to his captive animals and extorts them for profit. He is also the only Tiny Toons villain to actually die.
  • Terrible Trio: He forms one with his two henchmen.

    The Wolverine 
Voiced by: Frank Welker

The main antagonist of the episode, "Buster and the Wolverine", and a parody of the Wolf from Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.

  • Big Bad: Of "Buster and the Wolverine".
  • Big Boo's Haunt: He's taken up residence in a spooky cave, which serves as Stage 3-3 in the NES videogame.
  • The Dragon: To Montana Max in the following video games: the NES videogame and Babs' Big Break. In the former game, he serves as the boss of the forest level. In the latter game, he is Monty's bodyguard, has captured Shirley the Loon, and refuses to let her go until he is defeated in a battle.
  • Expy: Of The Wolf from Peter and the Wolf.
  • Suddenly Voiced: While he does mostly speak in grunts and roars, he has been known to speak normally on two occasions:
    • In "Washingtoon", he becomes able to speak in complete sentences when the ACAFC Chairperson takes his tooniness away, rendering him sensitive to pain as a result.
    • In the Babs' Big Break video game, he speaks fluently to the player when he explains that he has captured Shirley and is planning to eat her.
  • Underground Level: Stage 3-3 of the NES Konami video game takes place in a dark cave where he is fought as the Boss.

    Sappy Stanley 
Voiced by: Jonathan Winters

A parody of Terrytoons cartoon character Sidney the Elephant, and the main antagonist of the episode, "Who Bopped Bugs Bunny?".

  • Aardvark Trunks: Inverted; he is an elephant with his mouth drawn at the tip of his trunk, like an aardvark or anteater.
  • Artist Disillusionment: In-universe; Stanley leaves American cinema for France after losing his Schloskar to Bugs, telling Hollywood that they can keep Bugs.
  • Captain Ersatz: Sappy Stanley himself is a parody of Sidney the Elephant, also known as Silly Sidney. A cartoon featuring this character (called "Sidney's Family Tree") was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Subject in 1958, but lost to, yep, you guessed it, Bugs Bunny's "Knighty Knight Bugs".
  • Catchphrase: "Now, where is that cheesecake?"
  • Coconut Meets Cranium: His cartoons consist of him being hit on the head by coconut-throwing chimpanzees. He even gets mad at the director for trying to explain the gag to him.
    "Wait a minute! Are you trying to tell me how to do the coconut gag?! Let me tell you something, Mister, I was doing the coconut gag before you were born! I invented the coconut gag, you got that? I taught this country how to laugh!"
  • Cruel Elephant: He's an elephant who wants revenge on Bugs for winning the Shloskar award he thought was rightfully his. He steals Bugs' Shloskar, frames Daffy for the crime, and tries to keep Buster and Babs from finding out that he was the one responsible for Bugs' disappearance.
  • Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Stanley is a big star in France, implied to financially comfortable. His Revenge Before Reason ends up with him in prison, presumably destroying his career, reputation and fortune.
  • Flaw Exploitation: Stanley deliberately provokes Daffy Duck's ego and jealousy of Bugs while they're both on-stage, pushing him into a rant about how he should be getting the award (which naturally makes Daffy the prime suspect in Bugs' disappearance).
  • Freudian Excuse: Stanley losing a Schloskar to Bugs in 1958 and feeling that no one appreciates his talent drives his actions in "Who Bopped Bugs Bunny?".
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In-universe; even though he's become obscure in America, Stanley is still a big star in France.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: All these years, Stanley was jealous of Bugs after being passed over for a Schloskar. When Bugs winds up in Paris, he sees the perfect opportunity to get even with him.
  • Honorable Elephant: Averted; no honor to find with Stanley here.
  • Informed Species: Stanley is an elephant, but because he has his mouth (with teeth) at the end of his trunk most of the time, it makes him look more like an anteater than an elephant.
  • Nice Character, Mean Actor: On the stage, Stanley's a happy-go-lucky elephant who has to deal with getting hit by coconut-throwing chimpanzees, but off-stage, he's a Prima Donna Director who wants revenge on Bugs for winning the Shloskar award he thought was rightfully his.
  • Prima Donna Director: In the day following the bopping incident, Stanley goes off to film one of his shorts and acts like a donkey's butt to his entire crew, getting mad at one guy for simply sitting on a couch drinking coffee. It's implied that his attitude is coming from the stress of keeping his cover.
  • Reel Torture: After kidnapping Bugs, he subects his hated rival to watching hours of his old cartoons on repeat.
  • Sore Loser: Stanley did not take losing the Shloskar to Bugs well, having scorned the film industry and moved to Paris, where he spent decades planning his revenge on Bugs.
  • Toothy Bird: A non-avian example; Stanley has his mouth (with teeth) at the end of his trunk, though he was pretty inconsistent. Occasionally, he'd have his mouth in the normal location, so either he had two mouths or the animators weren't paying attention to what they were doing.
  • White-Dwarf Starlet: Stanley even quotes Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard word-for-word.

    Gotcha Grabmore 
Voiced by: Joan Gerber
An evil businesswoman who kills wild animals to make cosmetics. She appears in "Fur-Gone Conclusion" and "Whale's Tales".
  • Alliterative Name: Gotcha Grabmore.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: In "Whale's Tales", she owns a cosmetics factory that is run by a crew of octopi pirates, and plans to kill the Mother Whale for her blubber.
  • Cruella to Animals: In "Fur-Gone Conclusion", she captures a baby seal with the intent to skin him for his pelt.
  • Fur and Loathing: In "Fur-Gone Conclusion", Gotcha's motive for trying to skin the baby seal is so she can earn money for his pelt.
  • Greed: Traps and kills innocent animals for her own personal profits.
  • Latex Perfection: More like makeup perfection, as she looks like a utter ghoul without it.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Gotcha is an Expy of Zsa Zsa Gabor, as lampshaded by Babs in "Fur-Gone Conclusion".
  • Ugly All Along: In "Whale's Tales", Gotcha captures a mother whale, and when she tells her that her blubber will be used for her cosmetics, the mother whale squirts her in the face, washing off her makeup, revealing her to look hideous without it. A mortified Gotcha instantly re-applies her makeup afterwards.

    Adult Coalition Against Funny Cartoons Chairperson 

Voiced by: Tress MacNeille

A woman representing an organization against funny cartoons.

  • Accidental Misnaming: She calls Plucky "Mr. Cluck" when he calls her to tell her that he wants to help her drain ACME Acres of its tooniness.
  • Ascended Extra: She first appears in the "It's Buster Bunny Time" episode segment, "The Anvil Chorus" to rant about the violence, only to get hit by a falling anvil not long after. She later becomes the main antagonist of "Washingtoon".
  • Big Bad: Of "Washingtoon".
  • Culture Police: In "Washingtoon", she takes over ACME Acres with a device that strips toons of their tooniness so they could become bland, pro-social educators.
  • Fun with Acronyms: She runs the Adult Coalition Against Funny Cartoons. Don't even try pronouncing it.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Towards the end of the episode, her Tooniness, which had been lost many years ago, emerges from the rubble of the Toon Logic Extractor after Buster's Tooniness destroys it. This gives her a sense of humor and she bounces off happily to Wackyland to live with Gogo Dodo and his friends.
  • Moral Guardians: An in-universe example; she wants to cancel Tiny Toon Adventures and rid ACME Acres of cartoon violence, feeling it has a negative impact on children.

    Fran and Edward 

Voiced by: Valri Bromfield and Joe Alaskey, respectively.

Two network executives Babs worked for when she left Tiny Toons for "thirteensomething." They later appear in the Christmas special, overseeing Buster's production.

  • Catchphrase: Fran to Edward on a regular basis:
    Fran: You are so lost, Edward.
    Edward: Yes dear.
    • A variation occurs in the Christmas special.
      Fran (About Montana Max): He is so lost, Edward.
      Edward: Yes he is, dear.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Subverted. They treat Babs fairly in "thirteensomething" and even renew her contract for the show (which admittedly was not something she wanted), and while Max does bribe them in the Christmas episode they promptly fire him and make Buster director again when they see how awful Max's ideas are. Edward even takes the money Max gave them and donates it to charity.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Edward finally has enough of Fran's criticizing and tells her "No dear, YOU are lost!" She glomps him.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Montana Max originally started bribing them with lots of cash to take over Buster's Christmas special, but once they see how awful Max's directing is there's no amount of money he can bribe them with to make them think otherwise.
  • Henpecked Husband: Edward thanks to Fran, but whenever he does argue with her she considers it a turn on.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Edward is regularly impressed with little things Fran disagrees on, with Fran regularly telling him, "You are so lost.", and the few times he isn't impressed, his opinion is pushed aside by Fran's. That being said, he isn't afraid to stand up to Fran when she disagrees on his opinion of the plot twist Buster adds to Thirteensomething by posing as Cleveland, Alabaster's twin brother.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Fran practically dwarfs Edward in length and width.
  • Tsundere: Fran to Edward.

    The Original Looney Tunes 

Voiced by: Don Messick, B.J. Ward, Rob Paulsen, Desirée Goyette, and Robert Morse, respectively.

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", respectively.

  • Adaptation Species Change: Bosko and Honey were humans with African American features in their cartoons of the 30's. Here, they are changed into dog-like creatures, similar to the main characters in Animaniacs.
  • Art Evolution: The characters (sans Goopy Geer) look nothing like they did in their original appearances, looking more like a combination of the 1930s rubberhose style with the '40s 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 (not even of Goofy; that character first appeared a month after Goopy Geer made his debut) so he only recieved a mild redesign.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Both of the episodes they respectively appear in.
  • Fading Away: Both Bosko and Honey faded into obscurity when they became forgotten. Babs showing Honey cartoons to the public and having them laugh at them is what brings them back.
  • Fountain of Youth: It is revealed in "Fields of Honey" that laughter keeps toons young and immortal, proven with Bugs Bunny, who was 50 years old at the time of the episode's broadcast. When the laughter stops and the toon is forgotten, it begins to age and fade from existence. Babs showing Honey cartoons to the public and having them laugh at them is what restores an elderly Honey to her former glory.
  • Named by the Adaptation: Roxy was not named in her initial appearances and was given that name for her appearance in "Two-Tone Town".
  • Poorly Disguised Pilot: Both episodes are clear forerunners to the Tiny Toons' invokedSpiritual Successor, Animaniacs. The characters' redesigns are even suspiciously similar to those of Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
