History Characters / AnimaniacsTheWarnerSiblings

!!Minor and one-shot characters in the [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 reboot]]

[[folder:Odysseus]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DiedrichBader
[[Literature/TheOdyssey The King of Ithaca.]] He angers the Warners, who are Greek gods, and must face their wrath.

* AdaptationalDumbass: The mythical Odysseus was famous for his intellect and cunning. This guy, by contrast, is a macho meathead like the warriors Odysseus was often contrasted against during the Trojan War.
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. He wears a [[ChainmailBikini midriff-baring armor]], but he's a [[TestosteronePoisoning ridiculously manly]] JerkJock.
* CarpetOfVirility: He has large patches of hair on his chest, belly and armpits, befitting his macho behaviour.
* ChainmailBikini: The armor he wears in the first half of his short covers his chest but exposes his muscular abs and [[CarpetOfVirility belly hair]].
* {{Jerkass}}: His introduction involves him getting the Warners wet twice with his boat, prompting them to smite him. Doubling as a JerkJock.
* MagicSkirt: Even when head-down in the sand, his skirt covers his buttocks.[[note]][[WhatCouldHaveBeen Originally]], the creators intended to avert this trope and [[FanDisservice have his hairy buttocks revealed]], but the executives asked the scene to be censored.[[/note]]
* TooKinkyToTorture: He ends up enjoying the Warners' first two attempts to punish him. Subverted on the third attempt where they get him to crack and apologize.

[[folder:Polyphemus]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MauriceLaMarche
[[Literature/TheOdyssey The Cyclops of Ancient Greek myth]], who is the one that ''finally'' brings down Odysseus, and is a rip on UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump.

* DumbMuscle: He's huge and very powerful in terms of strength, but isn't shown as much for brains.
* GrossUpCloseup: Subject to a few of these, as he's not presented as being the healthiest looking cyclops in the world. One such action is to use Odysseus ''as his new loofa''.
* {{Trumplica}}: His skin-tone, mannerisms, and speech pattern are all based on the ex-President.

[[folder:Nils Niedhart]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/FredTatasciore
A large buff Olympic medalist.

* AttentionWhore: Yakko, Wakko and Dot are this trope. They live in a water tower of a movie studio lot in Hollywood in plain sight. Even their twitter account is full of this trope.

* DropTheHammer: Their favorite form of slapstick is to pull out an enormous mallet and whack something with it, whether it be other people or each other. In fact, they were originally designed to simply smash Buddy over and over with it to make ''something'' interesting out of the cartoon.

** While at best the Warners tend to be manic and at worst absolute lunatics, they do have standards and morals of sorts. In spite of the havoc they wreak, they are fundamentally good kids that just don't know how to calm down. They will never go out of their way to be malicious or cruel with their antics ''unless'' you are a major {{Jerkass}} either to them or to other people who don't deserve it. After that, [[PayEvilUntoEvil you become]] [[KickTheSonOfABitch their "Special Friend".]] They also can't bring themselves to harm someone who, regardless of personal annoyance or irritation to the Warners, hasn't actually done anything bad or harmful to them or others. In "The Sound of Warners", the nanny is being overly friendly to the kids and singing lame songs that are absolutely driving them nuts. But the Warners can't bring themselves to harm her because she's truly trying to care for them in a kind (albeit saccharine) way. The Warners may be [[{{Jerkass}} Jerks]], but their [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold hearts are solid gold]] on the inside.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's based on Jerry Lewis. Specifically, his suave way of talking is based on Julius Kelp from ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor1963''.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's based on Jerry Lewis. Specifically, his suave way of talking is based on Buddy Love from ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor''.

* {{Cameo}}: In ''WesternAnimation/WakkosWish''.

* TeensAreShort: Is only a head taller than Yakko.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Whenever some DemographicallyInappropriateHumour shows up (or there's something that could be mistaken for a DoubleEntendre), Yakko blows a kiss to the viewers and says "Goodnight everybody!".[[invoked]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Faboo!"

* CharacterExaggeration: His big eater tendecies in the reboot to the point to becoming his only character trait.

* CatchPhrase: "''And'' the Warner '''''sister'''''."

* GoingCommando: In some parts of the original and the reboot, she was depicted without any panties in some "[[PantyShot panty shots]]".

* DependingOnTheWriter: Who sleeps where on their triple-decker bunk bed — or for that matter, whether they have a triple-decker bunk bed, or each have a bed of their own, or all sleep in one big bed.

* TakeThat: She mentions she's very gullible because she watches a lot of [[Creator/FoxNews Tucker Carlson]].

* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly Yakko and Dot, But Wakko has his moments as well.

* NoNameGiven: She originally didn't have a name, with characters either referring to her a "Nurse" or "Hello Nurse". Only many years after the original series ended did WordOfGod give her a name, when [[https://twitter.com/tomruegger/status/1282209112650969093 Tom Ruegger revealed her real name on Twitter]] to be [[PunnyName Heloise Nerz]].

* AmbiguouslyBi:
** Or in this case, ambiguously pansexual if the [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/0127f1e6c04f8d3a0fdf76a29ed40390/1469338af3f3a16b-ca/s1280x1920/77600cc05d75cc8a8c80748e966a2c4073b5b5fa.jpg rainbow she put in the tower]] in the ep 'The Cutening' to go by.
** She joins her brothers in saying "HELLOOOOOOO, [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Daphne]]!" in a Creator/CartoonNetwork [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3p43FQ0UgQ promo]].

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RonPerlman (English), Pascal Renwick (French)

* LikeABadassOutOfHell: Nils ended up in Hell at the end of his debut episode, but escapes offscreen to return in the season finale.

** Yakko just wears pants, Wakko just wears a shirt, and Dot just wears a skirt. This was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in a Creator/KidsWB promo talking about how the block featured cartoons "with pants and with no pants".
