History Characters / ChipNDaleRescueRangers

* BadBoss: As seen in "Catteries Not Included" towards his robot dogs and "Fake Me to Your leader" towards his giant bugs.

* EvilRedhead: He's a redheaded CardCarryingVillain MadScientist. Then again, so was the script writer Bruce Talkington whom he was modeled after. The red hair combined with the style of lab coat he wears, makes him resemble a middle-aged balding [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dexter]].

* FiveManBand: The Rescue Rangers themselves are headed up by [[RedOniBlueOni co-founders]] and [[AloofLeaderAffableSubordinate partners Chip and Dale]], their mutual love interest the GadgeteerGenius WrenchWench...[[MeaningfulName Gadget Hackwrench]], and the LittleGuyBigBuddy duo of Zipper and Monty.

* TheReliableOne: An odd example in that he also pairs this with being TheLeader and (ostensibly) the main character. A big part of the reason Dale (and to a lesser extent Monterey) can goof off, Monty can LeeroyJenkins into trouble, and Gadget can be...well...[[CloudCuckooLander Gadget]], is because Chip is there to keep them focused when the time comes. He's the best on the team at leveraging their individual talents to best effect, has few foibles that distract him from the task at hand, is level-headed and cool under pressure, and almost always has a plan.

* ShipTease: She has many of these moments with Chip and Dale, more often the former. During the early days of the internet, ''which'' was the main ship could get...[[SeriousBusiness heated]].

* DeadpanSnarker: Not as often as Chip, but he likes to make side comments to Zipper when somebody's being foolish. He's ''especially'' quick to remark on Gadget's...[[CloudCuckooLander eccentricities]].

* LeeroyJenkins: Varies a bit by episode: when 'look before you leap' is supposed to be the lesson of the show, Monty's the bad example.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Foxglove is able to perform a considerable number of aerial feats...so long as you don't make her remember she ''can't''.

* CloudCuckooLander: Not ''nearly'' to the extent as Dale or Gadget, but Foxglove can at times be a little, well, [[{{Pun}} batty]]. It usually manifests in her simply ''[[AchievementsInIgnorance forgetting]]'' [[AchievementsInIgnorance she's incapable of something]]...and then suffering the consequences when she remembers.

-->'''Gadget''': Professor Foo Foo...I...I know I've ''heard'' of you. That's right. Dad mentioned you! When he did it would always come with a ''warning''. What was it? That's right, it was ...it was, "Be careful of how even ''genius'' can fall to ''vice''."

* BerserkButton: In "A Creep From the Deep", there's a RunningGag where Monty's tail is "slammed, singed, kinked, and crushed." When an octopus yanks on it, he goes ballistic.

* ExpressiveEars: Monty's ears tend to droop down when he is sad or afraid. Occancionally, his ears perk up when he is exited.

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: We meet Zipper's family for the first time in the Boom! comic. His family is ''enormous'' {{Justified}} since he's a fly, and insects tend to have enormous broods to begin.

* {{Hammerspace}}

* DeadpanSnarker: He can occasionaly be quite sarcastic expecially when dealing with stressfull situations.

* TheyCalledMeMad: He actually uses this classic line during the weather machine incident.

* BambooTechnology: Almost all of Gadget's inventions are built (no pun intended) on this trope, with almost everything being scavenged from trash and junk she finds lying around. The Ranger Plane was built from a bleach bottle, while another type of bottle was used to build the Ranger Wing. Spools, pencils, paperclips, knives, forks, plates, flashlights, batteries, garbage cans etc. She can literally build anything ''from'' anything, from small tools up to a full-functional ''spaceship''.

* WomenAreWiser: Kate tends to plan first, unlike Charlie and Monty.

-->'''Monty:''' [recovering from the piano the chipmunks launched at him] Y'know, I'm beginning to like those guys.

* DubNameChange: In Sweden, he's known as "Svinpäls". In literal terms, it translates to "Swine Fur", but it's actually an old slang word meaning "Scumbag".

* HeroesWantRedheads: He's very attracted to the red-headed Queenie. Never mind the fact that she's a ''bee'' with hair...

* TookALevelInBadass: When she changes into Orange Gadget in "The Case of the Cola Cult".

* SuperStrength: She can hoist up Chip with one hand while Dale and Monty are hanging underneath him.

* GogglesDoNothing: Played with. She [[GogglesDoSomething does wear them]] over her eyes occasionally when flying the Ranger Wing, but the show is rather inconsistent on this, and it's no excuse to be wearing them on her head ''all'' the time. Additionally, even when she is wearing them, the other Rangers are usually just fine without any goggles at all.

* CatchPhrase: Chip coined, and is the one who most often uses, their rallying cry, "Rescue Rangers away!"

* CatchPhrase: Wowie zowie! whenever Dale is particularly excited or awed by something.

* {{Catchphrase}}: She has several:

* VerbalTic: Gadget slips "[[CatchPhrase Golly]]" into much of her everyday speech, even in casual conversation.
