'''Important Note:''' Before adding a character to this page, '''make sure the character you want to add has seen a wide amount of use across the grounded videos or has something that significantly sets them apart from a character that is already on this page.''' If we listed every character that has ever appeared in a grounded video, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters we'd be here all day]]. A good rule of thumb is that the character has to have appeared in the videos of '''at least two or more users (preferably three)''' to be qualified to appear on this page. In addition, try to avoid [[Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope cramming in too many appearance or behavioral tropes if they do not appear in a large number or videos or have too vague of a description to count]].

[[folder:Mario and Luigi]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mario_and_luigi.png]]

Mario and Luigi, of course, are the main protagonists of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series and, considering the franchise's recognizability with [=GoAnimate's=] PeripheryDemographic of kids, make frequent appearances in the grounded videos, ranging between being recurring extras, victims of trouble-makers, or occasionally as main characters in their own videos. Mario is voiced by Brian.
----
* AccentAdaptation: Despite the brothers canonically having a strong Italian-like accents, many users tend to give them completely different accents for unknown reasons. Often, Brian (British) is used for Mario, and Steven (American) for Luigi.
* AdaptationalWimp: Canonically, they are the Mushroom Kingdom's biggest heroes. In the grounded videos, more often than not they can't even put up a fight against and are easily defeated by prepubescent children.
* BigLittleBrother: Like in the actual franchise, Luigi is occasionally rendered by certain users to be taller than his older brother Mario.
* ButtMonkey: Whenever they fall victim to the troublemaker's schemes.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Both in terms of their designs and their actual characterizations. They (and other ''Mario'') characters can be rendered in many different themes depending on the user. (They usually get rendered in Comedy World or Lil' Peeps.) Characterization-wise, they can be the heroes that they are canonically or be the chew toys of the trouble-makers. Additionally, despite being rare, a handful of users (particularly those who are fans of adult media) even perceive them as "baby show" video game characters and make them either trouble-makers or treated like crap by everyone.
* GISSyndrome: Some users such as [=Weatherstar4000video=] simply render them as their stock image art.
* RecurringExtra: Viewers with good eyes will often see them in the background.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Princess Peach]]

Princess Peach from the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series is a less popular character to use a grounding character.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Canon Peach is just the person Mario and Luigi have to rescue loads and loads of times thanks to Bowser. Here, she's just another {{Jerkass}} troublemaker.
* CanonForeigner: Has invented parent characters.
* GISSyndrome: Like many other Mario characters, she's depicted as a photo of canon artwork by some users.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Curve Bro]]
[[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/curvebro_9.png]]

A fan-made counterpart of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Sledge Bro]] and of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Boomerang Bro]] created by [=Weatherstar4000video=].
----

* FatBastard: He's a Blue Sledge Bro.
* GISSyndrome: Some users depict him like this, as shown in his image.

!!!'''Notable/infamous users:'''
[[folder:[=BobbyIsPoopy=]]]
[[quoteright:236:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bip.png]]

Based on a troll the community had a tassle with some time ago, Bobby is chiefly known for two things; his status as one of [=GoAnimate's=] go-to troublemakers, and his [[ToiletHumor love for all things poop-related.]]
----
* ButtMonkey: Being a seminal troublemaker based on someone the community dislikes, this is to be expected.
* CatchPhrase: "Bobby the Poopy the Poopy the Poopy the Poopy!"
* ExcrementStatement: Loves to poop on people.
%%* FunnyAfro: It's probably his most distinguishing physical characteristic.
* ToiletHumor: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Goes without saying, really.]] Taken to extremes within Bobby's own videos.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=MacusoperAndLPSLover=]]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/malpsl2016goanimate.png]]

A prominent user and character in the 'Calming video' sub-genre, [=MALPSL=] is best known for her incessant affection towards Macusoper Busters and her tendency to suffer full-blown meltdowns over even the most minor things.
----
* ButtMonkey: Besides Macusoper, Caillou, Nice Diesel Busters and Boris, not very many people seem to like her, nor are they able to put up with her meltdowns for very long. She also seems to be a frequent target for nightmares, and appears to be especially hated by 'Evil Judge' and Diesel Busters.
* InelegantBlubbering: A guaranteed feature of her character, which reliably appears whenever she needs to be calmed.
* InstantIllness: Can somehow become ill from merely watching grounding videos, to the point that she regularly suffers fits of vomiting.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: [=MALPSL=] essentially looks like Eric, but with lurid pink clothing and bright [[LuminescentBlush rosy cheeks]].
* LivingProp: Often shows up in other videos as a background character, and regularly appears shocked on screen in "[Character] misbehaves at [Place] videos.
* NiceGirl: Despite the obnoxious elements of her character, she seems to only want to protect Macusoper and other characters, even if this borders on obsession.
* ShrinkingViolet: To say [=MALPSL=] isn't very brave is a big understatement.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=Memy9909=]]]
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/180px_memygoanimate.png]]

The former most hated character of [=GoAnimate=] (and for good reason too), [=Memy9909=] is, like Warren, based on a real person.
----
* ButtMonkey: Formerly the most hated character in [=GoAnimate=], with so many videos with him have him being hurt, killed, or something bad happening to him.
* FatBastard: Commonly portrayed as this in the grounded videos featuring him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=PowerJohn25 UTTP=]]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/powerjohn25goanimate.png]]

Another character apparently based on a user from a few years ago, [=PowerJohn25 UTTP=] is notable for two things: appearing in [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover videos starring a gigantic cast of random crossover characters]], and inevitably wrecking their vacations at various theme parks and resorts.
----
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: His spur-of-the-moment plans usually wind up killing and/or injuring dozens of people.
* HairTriggerTemper: There's no telling what will set him off.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: No matter what resort or theme park you take him to, he'll find a way to ruin it.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His "friends" spend most of their time threatening him with various punishments if he acts out.
* JerkassWoobie: He may destroy things and misbehave, but when you consider that literally almost everyone he meets seems to be against him, it's hard not to feel sorry for him at least a little bit.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: In most videos he stars in, he racks up a significant body count and invariably winds up annihilating wherever he and his friends are visiting, sometimes by accident.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Baxter]]
[[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/baxter.png]]

The former leader of the "Good Users" and [=Memy9909=]'s "sworn enemy".
----
* SmallNameBigEgo: A possible reason why Memy liked to troll him.
[[/folder]]

!!!'''Additional characters:'''
[[folder:Michael Jackson]]

Whether or not as a cameo appearance or as a recurring character, a caricature of Music/MichaelJackson can be found in a large amount of Comedy World videos. He is often distinguishable by his strangely abnormal body structure (double chin, droopy eyes, contour cheek lines and having two nostrils without a nose structure), large sunglasses, black hair and white suit, based on Jackson's appearance in the later years of his life.
----
* CoolShades: Almost never seen without them.
* NotQuiteDead: Michael Jackson is almost always depicted as being alive despite his real-life death in 2009. This is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in videos where he does appear.
* RealPersonCameo: When he is a minor character in videos.
* RealitySubtext: Strangely averted and inverted, Michael's career, especially in his later years, and the various controversies he ran into are almost never talked about.
* UncannyValley: His design in general is rather off putting, much like the damage done to the real Jackson's appearance.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Police officers]]
[[quoteright:238:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen3_3.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:238:Example designs, from [=KnucklesHedgehog2010=]'s series.]]

Every series revolving around troublemakers tends to have officers show up in some shape or form; exactly how effective they are is [[DependingOnTheWriter dependent on the video maker]].
----
* DeusExMachina: Whenever trouble's afoot, the cops will often show up to resolve the plot in a matter of moments.
* InstantEmergencyResponse: No matter where the action's taking place, you can count on the police to show up in a jiffy; [=GoAnimate=] City must have some pretty impressive funding for the emergency services!
* ThoseTwoGuys: Often appear in pairs; other arrangements and assortments are also common.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:David and Salli Bro]]

* {{Hunk}}: David.
[[/folder]]
------

[[folder:Barney the Dinosaur]]
[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen Formerly one of the most popular targets of mockery]], you can expect [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]] to appear in quite a few cartoons. Surprisingly, he gets off quite lightly most of the time compared to most kids-friendly characters.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Several users, when not affected by GISSyndrome, design Barney as a human with purple and green skin.
* BerserkButton: Don't steal his money.
* BountyHunter: He was once hired by Boris and Miss Martin to kill, and later capture, Caillou. [[BewareTheSillyOnes He succeeded.]]
* ButtMonkey: When he's not a troublemaker, several videos depict him getting killed by troublemakers. [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing Even more so when the culprit is rewarded for it]].
* ComputerVirus: The "Barney Error" videos are usually played this way.
* EvilCounterpart: Some users have a "Good Barney" (purple and green) and an "Evil Barney" (red and purple).
* FatBastard: When he's a troublemaker and not a [[GISSyndrome stock photo]], he's usually depicted this way.
* GISSyndrome: Several users simply use a shock photo of Barney when he's in a video.
* NoIndoorVoice: He tended to use the infamously loud "Kidaroo" voice setting before it was removed.
* SelfDuplication: He does this in his fight with Caillou.

Mario is voiced by Brian.

* AccentAdaptation: Despite the brothers canonically having a strong Italian-like accents, many users tend to give them completely different accents for unknown reasons. Often, Brian (British) is used for Mario, and Steven (American) for Luigi.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Both in terms of their designs and their actual characterizations. They (and other ''Mario'') characters can be rendered in many different themes depending on the user. (They usually get rendered in Comedy World or Lil' Peeps.) Characterization-wise, they can be the heroes that they are canonically or be the chew toys of the trouble-makers. Additionally, despite being rare, a handful of users (particularly those who are fans of adult media) even perceive them as "baby show" video game characters and make them either trouble-makers or treated like crap by everyone.

[[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joyceandjane.PNG]]

The canon names given to two of the female Cartoon Classics characters, and the ones from said theme to be most often portrayed as trouble-makers before the rise of the Comedy World theme. Joyce is voiced by Amy, while Jane is voiced by Kayla.

* AlphaBitch: Out of the two sisters, Jane tends to be the most troublesome, with Joyce often being a mere sidekick.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Jane being the tall skinny girl and Joyce being her shorter less skinny sister.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Jane.
* BrattyHalfPint: Joyce, being less troublesome than Jane.
* ButtMonkey: Even when they aren't misbehaving, many of their peers and sometimes even their parents tend to give them the short end of the stick.
* FatAndSkinny: Jane is the Skinny while Joyce is the Fat.
* FatBastard: Downplayed with Joyce, who's only a little chunky but still a jerk.
* HairTriggerTemper: Much like Caillou in particular, both of them have equally short tempers and will cause trouble the instant something they don't like happens.
* LeanAndMean: Jane is thin and a troublemaker.
* PetTheDog: After the rise of Comedy World, the two being common troublemakers started to reduce, and are treated as being one of the more respectable characters.
* SpoiledBrat: Both of them tend to be portrayed as this, calling their father names when they send them to school and throwing big (sometimes even murderous) meltdowns when they get wronged or don't get their way, much like other grounded video protagonists.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dave and Buster's is frequently portrayed as their choice restaurant.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Joyce's green hair.

[[folder: Kevin]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kevin_goanimate.jpg]]

An otherwise infrequently appearing character, Kevin is a character who appears in some users' videos as someone who causes trouble. Many recent videos have him as a friend and/or fellow trouble-maker to Dora. Kevin is distinguished by his parted brown hair, grey goatee, and bright green T-shirt.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Most users just have Kevin as a LivingProp in the classroom scenes. Videos which actually involve him go back and forth between him being a well-behaved kid at the mercy of trouble-makers or as a trouble-maker himself.
* TheDragon: Often to Dora, whenever Boots isn't playing the role.
* LivingProp: Usually is just someone to fill up classroom space at someone's school when not being used as a character.
* PermaStubble: Inexplicably has a grey goatee despite being elementary school aged.
* SatelliteCharacter: Practically indistinguishable from Dora when trouble-making alongside her.

[[folder: Trip]]
[[quoteright:101:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trip_goanimate.PNG]]

Trip, the rival to Ash Ketchum in the Unova seasons of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', is a popular character to use as a trouble-maker in the grounded videos, whether they are actually ''Pokémon'' oriented or not.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Trip could get a little rude toward Ash in his home series, but it was clear that it was just an act. Here, though he really is a genuine {{Jerkass}}.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Canon Trip is a somewhat aloof character who acts like a jerk and who became nicer over time. Here, Trip is your typical [=GoAnimate=] brat with none of that.
* AdaptedOut: He is almost never featured with his Pokémon, not even as stock images.
* CanonForeigner: Has invented parent characters.
* GISSyndrome: Some videos have Trip (and other ''Pokémon'' characters) as stock images of themselves.
* SmallReferencePools: It seems odd that Trip (despite his HiddenDepths) would be the main trouble-maker from the ''Pokémon'' anime, giving one the idea that someone saw his [[{{Jerkass}} initial treatment of Ash]] in his debut episodes (but saw no others where Trip went through CharacterDevelopment), made a grounded video out of him, and the fanbase just ran with it.

[[folder:Warren Cook]]
[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/warren_cook.png]]

Loosely based on a real life person, Warren Cook is the name given to the Mac Guy default character. Warren is a character who loves Creator/{{Disney}} (to the detriment of his father Alan) and has a penchant for making fake VHS openings. He is voiced by Brian.

* ButtMonkey: Warren never hears the end of it when it comes to his VHS openings.
* CatchPhrase: "I'm going to make the VHS opening to [Insert film or TV series here] from [Year], Real, not fake."
* CloudCuckooLander: Warren takes his fake VHS openings very seriously.
* CompanionCube: His fake VHS openings.
* TheDogBitesBack: Often in videos where Alan is the target.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Without fail, Warren will get grounded for making any sort of fake VHS opening.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Subverted.
* MissingMom: Warren's mother is never seen.
* NiceGuy: Much like Macusoper, he can come off as this in videos that don't have him as the target. And even then, he's not as bad as other troublemakers in the videos that ''do'' have him as the target.
* RealitySubtext: Warren is loosely based on a user/troll the [=GoAnimate=] community had a fight with some years back of the same name and the same hobby.

[[folder: Alan Cook]]
[[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alan_cook.png]]

Alan, Warren Cook's father and the {{Foil}} to Warren, routinely stops Warren from making his fake VHS openings and inevitably grounds Warren for doing so. Unlike Warren, Alan hates Disney and will restrict Warren's access to things made by the company the first chance he gets.

* AbusiveParents: Not only does Alan ground Warren for the fairly innocuous activity of making fake VHS openings, but usually Alan will also punish Warren by making him give up all his Disney related material, making Warren wear nappies, and/or having Warren's friends come to yell at Warren.
* BerserkButton: He hates Disney and fake VHS openings.
* TheBully: Like all parents in the [=GoAnimate=] universe.
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: He knows the correct release date of every film Warren makes a fake VHS opening of, even for the most unheard of films.
* FanHater: Alan does not understand why Warren likes Disney, and the first thing he'll do when punishing Warren is take away all of his Disney related merchandise.
* HolierThanThou: Like every adult in the [=GoAnimate=] world.
* {{Hunk}}: He uses the model of the default "muscled" base character, albeit with the shirt color changed to cyan (sometimes various other shades of blue, too).
* {{Jerkass}}: Since nearly every parent character has this personality, it is to be expected.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Many {{Deconstruction}} videos are fond of this trope.
** In "Warren makes a fake Frozen vhs opening and gets grounded", he ends up being subjected to BlackComedyRape by the infamous ''WebVideo/BarneyBunch'' depiction of [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Drew Pickles]] to teach him a lesson for grounding his son over something as petty as VHS openings.
** In "Warren Cook's Dad Makes A Critical Error In Judgement", being outsmarted by his son causes him to [[VillainousBreakdown attempt to ground Warren with the same punishments he's already given him before blowing up.]]
* TautologicalTemplar
* YouAllLookFamiliar: As mentioned above, his model is a PaletteSwap of one of the stock models of the program.

* BigNo: Prone to doing this, even in unfitting moments.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Constantly thins out of existence in some videos.

* {{Flanderization}}: He's basically the Flanderized version of Warren, but given some powers that make him equal to Uolliac.

* RecurringExtra: Tends to appear a lot in Uolliac-themed videos.
* VerbalTic: Whereas Uolliac has "WEEA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AH", Cooking has "[[BigNo NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O]]".

* BrattyTeenageDaughter
* ButtMonkey[=/=]TheChewToy: Not much goes right for her.
* CatGirl: In Rangeltoons.
* DependingOnTheWriter: As with Erika, whether Zara is the trouble-maker causing trouble for Erika or is Erika's victim tends to vary among users.
* {{Foil}}: To Erika. Though their roles as the grounding victim tend to be [[DependingOnTheWriter remarkably interchangeable.]]
* ExiledFromContinuity: This version of Zara is non-canon to the official Zack series, as the Zara in that series is voiced as Kayla, and isn't as bratty as this version. Furthermore, she has been shown to be in a relationship with Derek, who in the official Zack series actually hates Derek as he has been bullying her brother Zack.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Erika's responsible.
* GreenAndMean: Most of her clothing consists of green, and she's by far the meaner one of the two.
* {{Jerkass}}: In the videos where she actually is the troublemaker. And even then, she's more naughty than her sister Erika.
%%* OriginalGeneration
* SiblingRivalry: With Erika sometimes.
* SiblingYinYang: Erika is a good-natured girl, but Zara is a naughty troublemaker.

* CoolShades: He wears sunglasses.

* ButtMonkey: Besides Macusoper, Caillou, Nice Diesel Busters and Boris, not very many people seem to like her, nor are they able to put up with her meltdowns for very long. She also seems to be a frequent target for nightmares, and appears to be especially hated by 'Evil Judge' and Diesel Busters.
* InelegantBlubbering: A guaranteed feature of her character, which reliably appears whenever she needs to be calmed.
* InstantIllness: Can somehow become ill from merely watching grounding videos, to the point that she regularly suffers fits of vomiting.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: [=MALPSL=] essentially looks like Eric, but with lurid pink clothing and bright [[LuminescentBlush rosy cheeks]].
* LivingProp: Often shows up in other videos as a background character, and regularly appears shocked on screen in "[Character] misbehaves at [Place] videos.

Mario and Luigi, of course, are the main protagonists of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series and, considering the franchise's recognizability with [=GoAnimate's=] PeripheryDemographic of kids, make frequent appearances in the grounded videos, ranging between being recurring extras, victims of trouble-makers, or occasionally as main characters in their own videos. Mario is voiced by Brian.

* AccentAdaptation: Despite the brothers canonically having a strong Italian-like accents, many users tend to give them completely different accents for unknown reasons. Often, Brian (British) is used for Mario, and Steven (American) for Luigi.
* AdaptationalWimp: Canonically, they are the Mushroom Kingdom's biggest heroes. In the grounded videos, more often than not they can't even put up a fight against and are easily defeated by prepubescent children.
* BadassMustache: Although how "badass" they are seems to depend on the user.
* BigLittleBrother: Like in the actual franchise, Luigi is occasionally rendered by certain users to be taller than his older brother Mario.
* ButtMonkey: Whenever they fall victim to the troublemaker's schemes.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Both in terms of their designs and their actual characterizations. They (and other ''Mario'') characters can be rendered in many different themes depending on the user. (They usually get rendered in Comedy World or Lil' Peeps.) Characterization-wise, they can be the heroes that they are canonically or be the chew toys of the trouble-makers. Additionally, despite being rare, a handful of users (particularly those who are fans of adult media) even perceive them as "baby show" video game characters and make them either trouble-makers or treated like crap by everyone.
* GISSyndrome: Some users (such as [=Weatherstar4000video=]) simply render the bros as their stock image art.
* RecurringExtra: Viewers will good eyes with often see them in the background.

[[folder: Princess Peach]]

Princess Peach from the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series is a less popular character to use a grounding character.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Canon Peach is just the person Mario and Luigi have to rescue loads and loads of times thanks to Bowser. Here, she's just another {{Jerkass}} troublemaker.
* CanonForeigner: Has invented parent characters.
* GISSyndrome: Like any other Mario characters, she is depicted as her artwork by some users.

[[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joyceandjane.PNG]]

The canon names given to two of the female Cartoon Classics characters, and the ones from said theme to be most often portrayed as trouble-makers before the rise of the Comedy World theme. Joyce is voiced by Amy, while Jane is voiced by Kayla.

* AlphaBitch: Out of the two sisters, Jane tends to be the most troublesome, with Joyce often being a mere sidekick.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Jane being the tall skinny girl and Joyce being her shorter less skinny sister.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Jane.
* BrattyHalfPint: Joyce, being less troublesome than Jane.
* ButtMonkey: Even when they aren't misbehaving, many of their peers and sometimes even their parents tend to give them the short end of the stick.
* FatAndSkinny: Jane is the Skinny while Joyce is the Fat.
* FatBastard: Downplayed with Joyce, who's only a little chunky but still a jerk.
* HairTriggerTemper: Much like Caillou in particular, both of them have equally short tempers and will cause trouble the instant something they don't like happens.
* LeanAndMean: Jane is thin and a troublemaker.
* PetTheDog: After the rise of Comedy World, the two being common troublemakers started to reduce, and are treated as being one of the more respectable characters.
* SpoiledBrat: Both of them tend to be portrayed as this, calling their father names when they send them to school and throwing big (sometimes even murderous) meltdowns when they get wronged or don't get their way, much like other grounded video protagonists.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dave and Buster's is frequently portrayed as their choice restaurant.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Joyce's green hair.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kevin]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kevin_goanimate.jpg]]

An otherwise infrequently appearing character, Kevin is a character who appears in some users' videos as someone who causes trouble. Many recent videos have him as a friend and/or fellow trouble-maker to Dora. Kevin is distinguished by his parted brown hair, grey goatee, and bright green T-shirt.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Most users just have Kevin as a LivingProp in the classroom scenes. Videos which actually involve him go back and forth between him being a well-behaved kid at the mercy of trouble-makers or as a trouble-maker himself.
* TheDragon: Often to Dora, whenever Boots isn't playing the role.
* LivingProp: Usually is just someone to fill up classroom space at someone's school when not being used as a character.
* PermaStubble: Inexplicably has a grey goatee despite being elementary school aged.
* SatelliteCharacter: Practically indistinguishable from Dora when trouble-making alongside her.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Michael Jackson]]

Whether or not as a cameo appearance or as a recurring character, a caricature of Music/MichaelJackson can be found in a large amount of Comedy World videos. He is often distinguishable by his strangely abnormal body structure (double chin, droopy eyes, contour cheek lines and having two nostrils without a nose structure), large sunglasses, black hair and white suit, based on Jackson's appearance in the later years of his life.

* CoolShades: Almost never seen without them.
* NotQuiteDead: Michael Jackson is almost always depicted as being alive despite his real-life death in 2009. This is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in videos where he does appear.
* RealPersonCameo: When he is a minor character in videos.
* RealitySubtext: Strangely averted and inverted, Michael's career, especially in his later years, and the various controversies he ran into are almost never talked about.
* UncannyValley: His appearance in general is rather off putting, much like the damage done to Michael's appearance.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Trip]]
[[quoteright:101:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trip_goanimate.PNG]]

Trip, the rival to Ash Ketchum in the Unova seasons of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', is a popular character to use as a trouble-maker in the grounded videos, whether they are actually ''Pokémon'' oriented or not.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Trip could get a little rude toward Ash in his home series, but it was clear that it was just an act. Here, though he really is a genuine {{Jerkass}}.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Canon Trip is a somewhat aloof character who acts like a jerk and who became nicer over time. Here, Trip is your typical [=GoAnimate=] brat with none of that.
* AdaptedOut: He is almost never featured with his Pokémon, not even as stock images.
* CanonForeigner: Has invented parent characters.
* GISSyndrome: Some videos have Trip (and other ''Pokémon'' characters) as stock images of themselves.
* SmallReferencePools: It seems odd that Trip (despite his HiddenDepths) would be the main trouble-maker from the ''Pokémon'' anime, giving one the idea that someone saw his [[{{Jerkass}} initial treatment of Ash]] in his debut episodes (but saw no others where Trip went through CharacterDevelopment), made a grounded video out of him, and the fanbase just ran with it.

Every series revolving around troublemakers tends to have officers show up in some shape or form; exactly how effective they are is [[DependingOnTheWriter dependent on the video maker]].
* DeusExMachina: Whenever trouble's afoot, the cops will often show up to resolve the plot in a matter of moments.
* InstantEmergencyResponse: No matter where the action's taking place, you can count on the police to show up in a jiffy; [=GoAnimate=] City must have some pretty impressive funding for the emergency services!

[[folder: Barney the Dinosaur]]
[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen Formerly one of the most popular targets of mockery]], you can expect [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]] to appear in quite a few cartoons. Surprisingly, he gets off quite lightly most of the time compared to most kids-friendly characters.

* EvilCounterpart: Some users have a "Good Barney" (purple and green) and an "Evil Barney" (red and purple).

[[folder: Eric Smith]]

[[folder: David Smith]]

The presumably older sibling of both Eric and Ivy, and is one of the main characters of the Smith family grounded videos, and the most frequent target for grounding. He looks almost identical to his brother, the only differences are that David is depicted as being taller, having brown hair instead of red, lacking glasses. He wears a cyan and red collared shirt with a red stripe in the middle, denim blue shorts, and light blue shorts.

The younger sibling of Eric and David, and is one of the main characters of the Smith family grounded videos, and the second-most frequent grounding victim. Her typical appearance is that of a {{Animesque}} Lil' Peepz character with pink bob-cut hair and amber eyes (although her eye shape differs throughout models) wearing a pink headband and a pink SailorFuku.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Downplayed. While some of her depictions show her as this, she is oftentimes depicted as being a more neutral character until she messes up.

[[folder: Little Bill Glover]]
[[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/little_bill.PNG]]

Completing the "baby show character" trifecta in the grounded videos is WesternAnimation/LittleBill. Much like Caillou and Dora, Little Bill's characterization as a curious youngster intrigued by the world around him is ignored in favor of him making his peers lives a living you-know-what which, of course, leads to his grounding.

%%* AdaptationalBadass: He is a total badass here, unlike his original show.

* {{Jerkass}}: All troublemakers have this trait.
* JerkassWoobie: Goes without saying now.
* KidsAreCruel: No, really?
* RealitySubtext: Averted, actually. Little Bill was just as much of a grounded video target as he was after Creator/BillCosby's scandals and subsequent end of career.
* UnexplainedAccent: For reasons unknown, much like Daisy, he speaks with a distinctive British accent (usually the Brian or Lawrence voices are used) while the rest of his family (except Brenda) tend to speak in American accent. He could have gotten it from his mother, though.

* WouldHitAGirl: Just ask April.

[[folder: Big Bill and Brenda Glover]]
[[quoteright:239:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bb&b.PNG]]

Big Bill and Brenda, as in actual canon, are Little Bill's parents, and, as such are the ones who ground and punish Little Bill the most often whenever Little Bill acts up in these videos.
* AbusiveParents: Unlike Caillou and Dora's families where usually only one of their parents is violent to almost AxCrazy levels, both Big Bill ''and'' Brenda are equally violent and abusive toward Little Bill whenever he acts up.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Almost goes without saying at this point.

* CompanionCube: His fake VHS openings.
* TheDogBitesBack: Often in videos where Alan is the target.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Without fail, Warren will get grounded for making any sort of fake VHS opening.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Subverted.
* MissingMom: Warren's mother is never seen.
* NiceGuy: Much like Macusoper, he can come off as this in videos that don't have him as the target. And even then, he's not as bad as other troublemakers in the videos that ''do'' have him as the target.
* RealitySubtext: Warren is loosely based on a user/troll the [=GoAnimate=] community had a fight with some years back of the same name and the same hobby.

[[folder: Alan Cook]]
[[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alan_cook.png]]

Alan, Warren Cook's father and the {{Foil}} to Warren, routinely stops Warren from making his fake VHS openings and inevitably grounds Warren for doing so. Unlike Warren, Alan hates Disney and will restrict Warren's access to things made by the company the first chance he gets.

* AbusiveParents: Not only does Alan ground Warren for the fairly innocuous activity of making fake VHS openings, but usually Alan will also punish Warren by making him give up all his Disney related material, making Warren wear nappies, and/or having Warren's friends come to yell at Warren.
* BerserkButton: He hates Disney and fake VHS openings.
* TheBully: Like all parents in the [=GoAnimate=] universe.
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: He knows the correct release date of every film Warren makes a fake VHS opening of, even for the most unheard of films.
* FanHater: Alan does not understand why Warren likes Disney, and the first thing he'll do when punishing Warren is take away all of his Disney related merchandise.
* HolierThanThou: Like every adult in the [=GoAnimate=] world.
* {{Hunk}}: He uses the model of the default "muscled" base character, albeit with the shirt color changed to cyan (sometimes various other shades of blue, too).
* {{Jerkass}}: Since nearly every parent character has this personality, it is to be expected.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Many {{Deconstruction}} videos are fond of this trope.
** In "Warren makes a fake Frozen vhs opening and gets grounded", he ends up being subjected to BlackComedyRape by the infamous ''WebVideo/BarneyBunch'' depiction of [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Drew Pickles]] to teach him a lesson for grounding his son over something as petty as VHS openings.
** In "Warren Cook's Dad Makes A Critical Error In Judgement", being outsmarted by his son causes him to [[VillainousBreakdown attempt to ground Warren with the same punishments he's already given him before blowing up.]]
* TautologicalTemplar
* YouAllLookFamiliar: As mentioned above, his model is a PaletteSwap of one of the stock models of the program.

[[caption-width-right:140: ''AM WARREN COOK AND YOU DISRESPECTED MY OPINION NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O'']]
The Uolliac version of Warren, Wardrobe Cooking (also known as Warrun Cookie) appears in several satirical and unironic videos alike. Like Uolliac, he first debuted in [=NotSmirk=]'s video series.
* BerserkButton: DO NOT disrespect his opinion.
* BigNo: Prone to doing this, even in unfitting moments.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Constantly thins out of existence in some videos.
* DependingOnTheWriter: His design varies from user to user, some using the design used in the picture provided, others either using Warren Cook's normal model with his facial features rotated or simply having normal Warren Cook crying constantly like the Uolliac and the Uolliac and the Uolliac.
* DistressedDude: In a few videos, he's treated like an artifact that must be saved from unusual locations.
* {{Flanderization}}: He's basically the Flanderized version of Warren, but given some powers that make him equal to Uolliac.
* GagNose: Has a huge nose which dominates half his face.
* {{Gonk}}: Along with his over-sized nose, Cooking has an upside down mouth, and either has tiny beady eyes or eyes really close together, unlike other characters.
* RecurringExtra: Tends to appear a lot in Uolliac-themed videos.
* VerbalTic: Whereas Uolliac has "WEEA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AH", Cooking has "[[BigNo NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O]]".
* YouAllLookFamiliar: It's Warren/Mac Guy, but with a distorted face.

[[folder: Erika Dawson]]

[[quoteright:132:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erikafixed.png]]

One of the two Dawson sisters, Erika is the more soft-spoken of the two and wears glasses. Erika is the sibling most commonly portrayed as the well-behaved one, though she has had her share of trouble-making.

* BareYourMidriff: Some depictions of Erika have her like this, such as in the picture on the right.
* CatGirl: In Rangeltoons' videos.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether Erika is the main trouble-maker of her videos or Zara is. For example, in Adult Mall and Colonel Michael's videos, Erika can be a Jerkass to Zara, but in Cartoonist Kid's videos, Erika was kind-hearted, sweet, flirty, and cute.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible to Zara's foolish.
* {{Meganekko}}: She's an attractive looking girl with glasses.
* NiceGirl: Whenever she isn't the trouble maker, she is a sweet girl.
* NotSoAboveItAll: She is far from immune from getting grounded or just being a {{Jerkass}}, perhaps even more so than Eric Smith.
%%* OriginalGeneration
* ShipTease: With Eric Smith in videos in which they appear together.
* SiblingRivalry: Sometimes is depicted as having one with Zara.
* SpecsOfAwesome: Erika wears glasses and is kind.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Alot of times.

[[folder: Zara Dawson]]
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zara_4.png]]

The other of the two Dawson siblings. Zara is commonly portrayed as the more rambunctious and troublesome of the two, and is very much a ValleyGirl. She does have her moments of maturity though, particularly whenever Erika is the troublesome sibling.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter
* ButtMonkey[=/=]TheChewToy: Not much goes right for her.
* CatGirl: In Rangeltoons.
* DependingOnTheWriter: As with Erika, whether Zara is the trouble-maker causing trouble for Erika or is Erika's victim tends to vary among users.
* {{Foil}}: To Erika. Though their roles as the grounding victim tend to be [[DependingOnTheWriter remarkably interchangeable.]]
* ExiledFromContinuity: This version of Zara is non-canon to the official Zack series, as the Zara in that series is voiced as Kayla, and isn't as bratty as this version. Furthermore, she has been shown to be in a relationship with Derek, who in the official Zack series actually hates Derek as he has been bullying her brother Zack.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Erika's responsible.
* GreenAndMean: Most of her clothing consists of green, and she's by far the meaner one of the two.
* {{Jerkass}}: In the videos where she actually is the troublemaker. And even then, she's more naughty than her sister Erika.
%%* OriginalGeneration
* SiblingRivalry: With Erika sometimes.
* SiblingYinYang: Erika is a good-natured girl, but Zara is a naughty troublemaker.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Zara is female but is hapless.
* SpoiledBrat: Of the two siblings, Zara tends to be portrayed as the troublemaker the most often.
* TeensAreMonsters: The more troublesome of the Dawson duo.
* ValleyGirl: Has the "Princess" voice, so she has a voice like one.

!!The Busters

[[folder: Macusoper Busters]]
[[quoteright:265:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/macusoper.png]]

Macusoper Busters is the name given to the default bodyguard character included in the program. Macusoper is the teenage son to the PC Guy, nicknamed Diesel Busters, and is shown to constantly be getting in trouble at school, whether on purpose or for reasons beyond his control.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Macusoper is usually shown to be the least popular kid at school. Even his teacher and principal seem to hold a grudge against him for whatever reason.
* ButtMonkey: Big time. Some of the trouble he gets into at school isn't even his fault and he'll still get suspended.
* CoolShades: He wears sunglasses.
* TheDogBitesBack: Often in videos where Diesel Busters is the target.
* HairTriggerTemper: A few users have him be easy to lose his temper. (Oftentimes his peers bait him into doing so just to get him in trouble.)
* LanternJawOfJustice
* MissingMom: Much like Warren Cook, Macusoper's mother is not usually seen. Subverted as some users do give him a mother.
* NiceGuy: Is sometimes portrayed as this in videos that don't have him as the target.
* NoIndoorVoice: One of several characters to have the Kidaroo voice setting as his usual voice.
* OriginalGeneration: A wholly original character.
* PaletteSwap: Some videos feature different versions of Macusoper, such as one clad in yellow called "[[VideoGame/PacMan Pacusoper]]".
* SharpDressedMan
* ThrowTheDogABone: Often gets this in videos where he isn't the target.
* TheWoobie: He always gets in trouble for things that aren't even his fault, so he's quite pitiable.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: Being one of the stock characters included with the program, plenty of bodyguard characters that look like Macusoper have come and gone.

[[folder: Diesel Busters]]
[[quoteright:174:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diesel_busters.PNG]]

Diesel Busters is a name given to the default PC Guy character included in the program. Diesel is the father of Macusoper Busters and, of course, is not the best father to him.

* AbusiveParents: Diesel almost always physically punishes Macusoper when he gets in trouble.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some videos depict him as being actually rather kind and thoughtful.
* BigBad: Of Kirby The Superstar Creator's videos.
* TheBully: Again, it's [=GoAnimate=].
* EvilTwin: Apparently, his AlternativeCharacterInterpretation '(Nice) Diesel Busters the (Calming or Nice) PC Guy' is this in [=MacusoperAndLPSLover's=] videos.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses, and he's a very unpleasant man.
* HolierThanThou: While everyone of Macusoper's peers fail to notice their own flaws (while constantly berating Macusoper for his own), it's especially evident with Diesel Busters.
* {{Jerkass}}: Highly unpleasant.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He does have his moments where karma does bite him in the ass.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Everyone is scared of him.
* TautologicalTemplar: He believes everything he does is good just because he is "good".
* UnfortunateNames: Parodied. As "PC Guy", he gets beaten up for being in an Apple store.
* WouldHurtAChild: He injures his son Macusoper on a frequent basis.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: A consequence of being another stock character within the program. Many other PC Guys have appeared in videos without them actually being Diesel Busters himself.

[[folder: Nice Diesel Busters AKA Diesel The Calming PC Guy]]
[[quoteright:135:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nice_diesel_busters.PNG]]
A GoodCounterpart of Diesel Busters who sometimes appears when the normal version of Diesel is portrayed as an antagonist.
* GoodCounterpart: He's called "Nice Diesel Busters" for a reason.
* {{Megane}}: He wears glasses.
* NiceGuy: What else can you say about someone who will come and calm you down or cheer you up if you're feeling sad or scared?
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: See BewareTheNiceOnes.
* SpecsOfAwesome: A friendly, comforting, and gentle man with glasses.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He is the most selfless of the Busters family.

!![[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} The Read Family]]

[[folder: Arthur Timothy Read]]
[[quoteright:177:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arthur_goanimate.PNG]]

While not featuring as prominently in the grounded videos as Caillou, Dora, or even Little Bill, (and despite not technically being a "baby show character") Arthur is another fairly frequently appearing kid's show character in the grounded videos. As can be expected, he's not the NiceGuy that he is in his show and regularly causes trouble in the videos that he appears in.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Per the norm.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Not the responsible, well-mannered boy you saw on his show.
* BaldOfEvil: Shown with CharlieBrownBaldness and is the main villain of his grounded series.
* BigBrotherBully: Towards D.W.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: His usual portrayal has him be fairly close to his usual self until he is wronged in some way, after which he becomes a huge jerk, often with a [[SirSwearsALot foul-mouth]] to go with it.
* BrattyHalfPint: To the point that ''D.W. in his original show'' pales in comparison.
* ButtMonkey: Every troublemaking kid is this.
* CharlieBrownBaldness: Appears to have this in most Comedy World depictions.
* DemotedToExtra: Possibly due to a mostly negative reaction to the "Arthur Gets Grounded" videos (likely because of the fact that ''Arthur'', like it or not, is a largely beloved show with a large PeripheryDemographic), Arthur is gradually becoming a less frequent grounded target and only makes sporadic appearances in grounded videos nowadays.
* EvilBrit: Often has Lawrence or Brian as his default voice setting.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: To a certain degree.
* {{Expy}}: Of Caillou, somewhat. Arthur sets himself apart from Caillou by typically being more of a loud-mouth rather than being AxCrazy.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: A foul-mouthed brat with glasses.
* FreudianExcuse: While Arthur tends to come off as a unpleasant person to be around, some videos show that it's possibly as a result of abuse from his parents.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Of course.
* {{Gonk}}: Attempts to emulate Arthur's ears in the Comedy World theme tend to come off as...weird. (And the same goes for the rest of his family as well, though it looks especially weird with Arthur.)
* {{Jerkass}}: Once he gets set off, Arthur becomes a thoroughly ill-mannered [[SirSwearsALot potty-mouthed]] kid.
* JerkassWoobie: Can you really blame him for being bad with the crap he takes from his parents?
* KidsAreCruel: Usually towards D.W.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Isn't it obvious?
* SirSwearsALot: In some videos, Arthur is shown swearing like a sailor when he winds up not getting his way.
* SophisticatedAsHell: He can be extremely rude, but never strays from talking in a distinctive South-Eastern English accent.
* TookALevelInKindness: Again, per the norm with unironic ungrounding videos and deconstructions.

[[folder: Dora Winfred "D.W." Read]]
[[quoteright:138:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dw.PNG]]

D.W. is, of course, Arthur's younger sister. Crazy as it sounds, she is fairly rarely portrayed as a trouble-maker and instead is usually Arthur's target for trouble-making.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Odd as it may seem, D.W. actually comes off as the most tolerable out of the Reads instead of the other way around.
* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' feed her spinach.
* TheChewToy: Rarely leaves a video unscathed.
* {{Expy}}: Of Rosie in terms of how often she is TheChewToy in the ''Arthur Gets Grounded'' videos.
* NiceGirl: Nicer than Arthur, at least.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being less of a troublemaker than her brother, she does get her moments of trouble-making.
* OnlySaneMan: The rest of the Reads are mean-spirited psychos. D.W., on the other hand, is the least mean and calmest of the Reads.
* SpoiledBrat: Bizarrely subverted; Arthur seems to be the brat of the family in the grounded videos instead of her.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Arthur is a jerk, his parents are abusive, but D.W. is, shockingly enough, more mellow compared to anyone else in her family.
* ValleyGirl: The Princess voice-setting is one of D.W.'s more common voice settings.
%%* TheWoobie

[[folder: David and Jane Read]]
[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arthurparents.PNG]]

Arthur and D.W.'s parents. David and Jane, like other parents, mostly exist to punish Arthur (and occasionally D.W.) whenever he/she misbehaves.

* AbusiveParents: David tends to come off as the worst of the two, however, being violent towards Arthur on occasion and grounding Arthur for really petty reasons. (Even innocuous things as playing a certain video game or hanging out with his friends.)
* AdaptationalVillainy: Canonically, Jane and David were nice (if a bit [[AdultsAreUseless useless]]) parents. Here they're every bit as mean as the other parents.
* TheBully: Arthur gets tormented by them.
* {{Expy}}: David comes off as a less AxCrazy Boris. Jane shares a few similarities with Doris, as well, but she gives out much fewer ThrowTheDogABone moments. Sometimes both parents even share the same voice settings as Boris and Doris.
* HairTriggerTemper: Both parents, but especially David.
%%* HolierThanThou
* {{Jerkass}}: They get mad over tiny things, and inflict rather painful punishments on Arthur.
* TheStoolPigeon: David is sometimes shown calling other kids' parents and getting them grounded just for being around Arthur, much less trouble-making with him.
%%* StopHavingFunGuy: InUniverse.
* TautologicalTemplar: They think they are good characters, but they really are not.

[[folder: Baby Kate]]
The baby sister of Arthur and D.W.
* DemotedToExtra: Hardly even appears in the grounded videos with Arthur. Or anyone else.
* LivingProp: She doesn't even do much in the scenes she ''does'' appear in. She's just there.
* TheSpeechless: Never says anything. Justified, as she's a baby.

[[folder: Dylan [=McCarthy=]]]

* ButtMonkey: Formerly a character with Grounded videos, now has a different set of videos.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: He has his own series of non-Grounded adventures, and even 6 movies.
%%* {{Megane}}

* OfficialCouple: With Emily.
* TookALevelInKindness: He became one of the good guys in later videos.

[[folder: Emily Movolvoski]]
[[quoteright:109:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captbure.PNG]]

* BareYourMidriff: In Rangeltoons.
* ButtMonkey: Whenever she's the target of Grounded videos.
* CatGirl: She does have neko ears but doesn't usually have neko girl traits.
* NiceGirl: Most of the time, Emily is a caring girl.
* OfficialCouple: With Dylan.
* TookALevelInKindness: In later videos.

[[folder: Mark D. Movolvoski]]

!!Zack characters

[[folder: Zack [=Rosemond=]]]
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zack_1.png]]

Created by an unnamed user, Zack Rosemond (Zack "Dawson" according to a few) was a former troublemaker who would go on to be a hero. He has a series of his own and a feature length film created by GoMultiverseLegacy394.

* OfficialCouple: With Kelly

!!Scooby-Doo characters

[[folder: Fred Jones]]
[[quoteright:188:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2016_10_01_13_36_12_1.png]]

The protagonist of the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' series of videos, a rising trend series of videos started by [=Samster5677=]. Unlike in the series, Fred and his team's trademark myth-hunting is ignored, and his leadership has been replaced by an ignorant, volatile-tempered drunkard who has no problem with being violent to his friends. He is voiced by Paul.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Exaggerated to the point it's worth noticing that Fred shares no attributes with his canon counterpart.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Has nothing in common with his TV show counterpart.
* TheAlcoholic: He is commonly shown either referencing or drinking beer. In fact, this is possibly what explains his violent temperament in the videos.
* AxCrazy: As mentioned above, he has no problem giving his team member "concussion time" when they screw up, and is commonly shown [[DrivesLikeCrazy driving recklessly.]]
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He has no problem with giving Scooby concussions. Scooby gets concussions less than anyone else though.
* BastardBoyfriend: To Daphne, constantly beating her up.
* BerserkButton: Has many of these, but some notable ones are disobeying him, hacking into his bank account, breaking the TV, selling the Mystery Machine, stealing his Nintendo Switch, going to places without him, drinking his beer, and spending his money.
* TheBully: Towards his teammates.
* CatchPhrase: "It's concussion time!"
* ControlFreak: Especially when it comes to his money.
* DarkerAndEdgier: He's an awful leader compared to his original self.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Like many of his fellow [=GoAnimate=] "[[DesignatedHero protags]]", Fred tends to flip out and go on a punishing spree over the most minor things.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Drives the Mystery Machine very recklessly.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: None of the members of the Scooby gang like him. And for good reason. He is unkind with absolutely nothing to like about him!
* TheGamblingAddict: He once spent all of his money on lottery tickets. He lost all of it.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Sometimes he tells the Mystery Inc to stop yelling while he too is shouting.
* [[IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance Ignorant Of His Own Ignorance]]: Fred appears to be rather unaware of the acts he does.
* {{Jerkass}}: Abusive of his own teammates and beats them up on a frequent basis.
* KarmaHoudini: Unlike many of the other characters who tend to have LaserGuidedKarma hit them, Fred has so far evaded all sorts of comeuppances and attempts to get back at Fred are useless. A good example of this is in the video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyqFCOc308s Daphne Blows Up The Mystery Machine]]", where Daphne accidentally pops the tires on the Mystery Machine and is given Concussion Time. She wakes up in the hospital where the doctor tells her what happened and that he isn't getting the police on him because "it's [=GoAnimate=] and no one gives a crap".
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: His KarmaHoudini status is subverted in these videos:
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kepgt4N6aHY "Fred Jones tries to give Brian a concussion and gets beaten up and arrested"]], he tries to give Brian a concussion only to receive a painful beating from both him and [[WebVideo/AngryGermanKid the Angry German Kid]] and then put in jail.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DlJs9hYfVw Fred gets arrested in an airport]], he is caught by airport security carrying a bag of weed and is arrested.
** Zigzagged in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnT2dxFYSUo The Scooby Gang go to Universal Studios (FRED ARRESTED)]]. Fred, furious at being at the titular amusement park, hijacks a plane and crashes it. He believes that he'll get away with it and is utterly shocked when he's arrested and goes to jail. However, he gets so indignant at being arrested that he turns into a Teeth Guy, escapes and attacks the rest of the Scooby Gang.
* MediumAwareness: He often has arguments with [=Samster5677=], most notably the one where they argue over who Fred's real creator is.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: All his teammates are terrified of him.
* NoIndoorVoice: He is always screaming at his teammates.
* OnlySaneMan: While Fred is very much a {{Jerkass}}, a few videos portrays him as this as he will be dragged into situations he really doesn't want to be involved in. As well, while he is a penny-pincher, it's mostly because Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby would buy everything that isn't bolted down.
* TheScrooge: Though it's unknown as to how much money Fred has, he absolutely hates it when ''any'' of Mystery Inc. spends money. He attempts to keep a tight rein on the purse, but he'll gladly attack people if he feels they are spending too much, with one egregious example having Shaggy becoming an food reviewer, only for Fred to race in, smash his camera and give him concussion for doing this as it spends money. To be very fair, though, Fred ''does'' have a justified reason as Daphne will happily buy anything and everything she can get her hands on and Shaggy and Scooby would eat entire establishments to the ground. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMn2iP9aYPw This video]] seems to suggest the reason why he's so stingy is because that money is his beer money. Come between his money and his beer and he gets violent. The only exception was the time he spent all his money on lottery tickets and scratch-off cards.
* StopHavingFunGuy: InUniverse, Fred is shown to be so very happy to stop any thing the rest of the Gang from doing anything because it involves spending money.
* TeensAreMonsters: He is a teenager and a short-tempered lunatic.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Beer and steak.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: One of [=GoAnimate's=] biggest examples of this next to Boris and (on a bad day) Caillou, Fred is portrayed as a generally very unpleasant person who yells constantly, always seems angry, and frequently abuses his teammates over petty reasons.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He is friends with the gang but he injures them on a daily basis.
* WouldHitAGirl: Completely okay with giving his female teammates concussions.

[[folder: Scooby and Shaggy]]
[[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shaggyandscooby.PNG]]

Two members of Mystery Inc. and supporting characters for ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' videos. Scooby is the dog and Shaggy is a dirty blonde. Unlike Fred, they are relatively close to their canon personalities.

* BigEater: A trait they share with their canon counterparts, if buying ''250 dollars worth of food'' in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08PAp15LNSc Scooby Gang Goes To The Carnival]] is any indication.
* CanineCompanion: Shaggy is a man who has Scooby the dog as his pet.
* TheDitz: Both of them aren't very smart.
* DogsAreDumb: Scooby has his moments.
* DumbBlonde: Shaggy isn't the sharpest person ever, and he's a dirty blond.
* GISSyndrome: Scooby is usually presented as stock images of himself. It's probably for the best as he is otherwise difficult to present in most (if not all) [=GoAnimate=] themes.
* LikeIsLikeAComma: Shaggy talks like this.
* NiceGuy: Almost as nice as their canonical counterparts.
* TheQuietOne: Scooby doesn't talk as much as the rest of the Gang.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Don't expect them to be apart very often.
* VerbalTic: Shaggy adds "like" to his sentences a lot, much like he does canonically.
* TheWoobie: They constantly get concussions from Fred, even when they don't deserve it.

[[folder: Daphne Blake]]

Fred's girlfriend who is obsessed with her phone. She is voiced by Julie.
* AdaptationalDumbass: She tends to be depicted as ditzier than she usually is in canon.
* ButtMonkey: Out of all the Gang members, she gets attacked by Fred the most.
* CompanionCube: Her phone.
* DeadpanSnarker: To Fred at times.
* TheDitz: She's air headed and spacey.
* TheDogBitesBack: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMn2iP9aYPw this video]], Daphne gets so fed up with Fred's flipping out over being one cent over that she gets the rest of the Gang to spend all of his money. Subverted in that it doesn't take. At all.
* DomesticAbuse: Fred's not any less violent towards her than he is towards Shaggy, Scooby or Velma.
* KindheartedSimpleton: An airhead but very good natured.
* TheLoad: While none of the gang seems to have jobs, Daphne seems to be the only one openly refusing to get a job. In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAzh28hXPjo Daphne Spends $1,000,000 on Fred's Credit Card/Concussion Time]]", Daphne is offended at the suggestion of actually getting a job at [=McDonalds=] and decides to steal Fred's credit card.
* MsRedInk: In many videos, she'll buy just about anything she likes, much to [[TheScrooge Fred's]] displeasure.
* NiceGirl: Although ''anyone's'' nice compared to Fred.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: She loves using her phone and is seen using it in nearly all of her appearances.
* SkewedPriorities: Daphne seems to value her phone more than her own life.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Gets concussions from Fred on a frequent basis.
* TookALevelInDumbass: She's much stupider than her canon counterpart.
* TheWoobie: Although everybody in the Scooby Gang save Fred is this somehow.

[[folder: Velma]]

The smartest member of the Scooby Gang. Not that that's saying much.

* BlackBeadEyes: And [[NonStandardCharacterDesign the only gang member who has these to boot.]]
* BlindWithoutEm: Well she is the trope image, after all.
* TheCracker: She once hacked into Fred's bank account to get back at him for buying a laptop he said she couldn't buy.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Nobody else in the gang has BlackBeadEyes but her.
* {{Meganekko}}: She looks cute and wears glasses.
* NiceGirl: Like any other member of the Gang that isn't Fred.
* OnlySaneMan: The only one of the gang who isn't an idiot, insane, or a jerk.
* TheSmartGuy: Good with computers.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Fred beats her as often as the other members of the Scooby Gang.
* TheWoobie: Like everyone else in the Scooby gang besides Fred.

Based on a troll the community had a tassle with some time ago, Bobby is chiefly known for two things; his status as one of [=GoAnimate's=] go-to troublemakers, and his [[ToiletHumor love for all things poop-related.]]

* ButtMonkey: Being a seminal troublemaker based on someone the community dislikes, this is to be expected.
* CatchPhrase: "Bobby the Poopy the Poopy the Poopy the Poopy!"
* ExcrementStatement: Loves to poop on people.
%%* FunnyAfro: It's probably his most distinguishing physical characteristic.
* ToiletHumor: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Goes without saying, really.]] Taken to extremes within Bobby's own videos.

[[folder: [=MacusoperAndLPSLover=]]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/malpsl2016goanimate.png]]

A prominent user and character in the 'Calming video' sub-genre, [=MALPSL=] is best known for her incessant affection towards Macusoper Busters and her tendency to suffer full-blown meltdowns over even the most minor things.

* ButtMonkey: Besides Macusoper, Caillou, Nice Diesel Busters and Boris, not very many people seem to like her, nor are they able to put up with her meltdowns for very long. She also seems to be a frequent target for nightmares, and appears to be especially hated by 'Evil Judge' and Diesel Busters.
* InelegantBlubbering: A guaranteed feature of her character, which reliably appears whenever she needs to be calmed.
* InstantIllness: Can somehow become ill from merely watching grounding videos, to the point that she regularly suffers fits of vomiting.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: [=MALPSL=] essentially looks like Eric, but with lurid pink clothing and bright [[LuminescentBlush rosy cheeks]].
* LivingProp: Often shows up in other videos as a background character, and regularly appears shocked on screen in "[Character] misbehaves at [Place] videos.
* NiceGirl: Despite the obnoxious elements of her character, she seems to only want to protect Macusoper and other characters, even if this borders on obsession.
* ShrinkingViolet: To say [=MALPSL=] isn't very brave is a big understatement.

The former most hated character of [=GoAnimate=] (and for good reason too), [=Memy9909=] is, like Warren, based on a real person.

* ButtMonkey: Formerly the most hated character in [=GoAnimate=], with so many videos with him have him being hurt, killed, or something bad happening to him.
* FatBastard: Commonly portrayed as this in the grounded videos featuring him.

[[folder: [=PowerJohn25 UTTP=]]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/powerjohn25goanimate.png]]

Another character apparently based on a user from a few years ago, [=PowerJohn25 UTTP=] is notable for two things: appearing in [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover videos starring a gigantic cast of random crossover characters]], and inevitably wrecking their vacations at various theme parks and resorts.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: His spur-of-the-moment plans usually wind up killing and/or injuring dozens of people.
* HairTriggerTemper: There's no telling what will set him off.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: No matter what resort or theme park you take him to, he'll find a way to ruin it.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His "friends" spend most of their time threatening him with various punishments if he acts out.
* JerkassWoobie: He may destroy things and misbehave, but when you consider that literally almost everyone he meets seems to be against him, it's hard not to feel sorry for him at least a little bit.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: In most videos he stars in, he racks up a significant body count and invariably winds up annihilating wherever he and his friends are visiting, sometimes by accident.

[[folder: Baxter]]
[[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/baxter.png]]

The former leader of the "Good Users" and [=Memy9909=]'s "sworn enemy".

!!Mario Characters[[note]]Includes fan-made characters.[[/note]]

[[folder: Mario and Luigi]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mario_and_luigi.png]]

Mario and Luigi, of course, are the main protagonists of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series and, considering the franchise's recognizability with [=GoAnimate's=] PeripheryDemographic of kids, make frequent appearances in the grounded videos, ranging between being recurring extras, victims of trouble-makers, or occasionally as main characters in their own videos. Mario is voiced by Brian.

* AccentAdaptation: Despite the brothers canonically having a strong Italian-like accents, many users tend to give them completely different accents for unknown reasons. Often, Brian (British) is used for Mario, and Steven (American) for Luigi.
* AdaptationalWimp: Canonically, they are the Mushroom Kingdom's biggest heroes. In the grounded videos, more often than not they can't even put up a fight against and are easily defeated by prepubescent children.
* BadassMustache: Although how "badass" they are seems to depend on the user.
* BigLittleBrother: Like in the actual franchise, Luigi is occasionally rendered by certain users to be taller than his older brother Mario.
* ButtMonkey: Whenever they fall victim to the troublemaker's schemes.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Both in terms of their designs and their actual characterizations. They (and other ''Mario'') characters can be rendered in many different themes depending on the user. (They usually get rendered in Comedy World or Lil' Peeps.) Characterization-wise, they can be the heroes that they are canonically or be the chew toys of the trouble-makers. Additionally, despite being rare, a handful of users (particularly those who are fans of adult media) even perceive them as "baby show" video game characters and make them either trouble-makers or treated like crap by everyone.
* GISSyndrome: Some users (such as [=Weatherstar4000video=]) simply render the bros as their stock image art.
* RecurringExtra: Viewers will good eyes with often see them in the background.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Princess Peach]]

Princess Peach from the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series is a less popular character to use a grounding character.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Canon Peach is just the person Mario and Luigi have to rescue loads and loads of times thanks to Bowser. Here, she's just another {{Jerkass}} troublemaker.
* CanonForeigner: Has invented parent characters.
* GISSyndrome: Like any other Mario characters, she is depicted as her artwork by some users.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Curve Bro]]
[[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/curvebro_9.png]]

A fan-made variant of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Sledge Bro]] and of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Boomerang Bro]] Introduced by [=Weatherstar4000video=].
----
* ButtMonkey: When he's a troublemaker.
* FatBastard: He's a Blue Sledge Bro.
* GISSyndrome: Some users depicts as this, as shown in this picture.
[[/folder]]

!!Other Characters

[[folder: Joyce and Jane]]
[[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joyceandjane.PNG]]

The canon names given to two of the female Cartoon Classics characters, and the ones from said theme to be most often portrayed as trouble-makers before the rise of the Comedy World theme. Joyce is voiced by Amy, while Jane is voiced by Kayla.

* AlphaBitch: Out of the two sisters, Jane tends to be the most troublesome, with Joyce often being a mere sidekick.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Jane being the tall skinny girl and Joyce being her shorter less skinny sister.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Jane.
* BrattyHalfPint: Joyce, being less troublesome than Jane.
* ButtMonkey: Even when they aren't misbehaving, many of their peers and sometimes even their parents tend to give them the short end of the stick.
* FatAndSkinny: Jane is the Skinny while Joyce is the Fat.
* FatBastard: Downplayed with Joyce, who's only a little chunky but still a jerk.
* HairTriggerTemper: Much like Caillou in particular, both of them have equally short tempers and will cause trouble the instant something they don't like happens.
* LeanAndMean: Jane is thin and a troublemaker.
* PetTheDog: After the rise of Comedy World, the two being common troublemakers started to reduce, and are treated as being one of the more respectable characters.
* SpoiledBrat: Both of them tend to be portrayed as this, calling their father names when they send them to school and throwing big (sometimes even murderous) meltdowns when they get wronged or don't get their way, much like other grounded video protagonists.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dave and Buster's is frequently portrayed as their choice restaurant.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Joyce's green hair.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kevin]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kevin_goanimate.jpg]]

An otherwise infrequently appearing character, Kevin is a character who appears in some users' videos as someone who causes trouble. Many recent videos have him as a friend and/or fellow trouble-maker to Dora. Kevin is distinguished by his parted brown hair, grey goatee, and bright green T-shirt.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Most users just have Kevin as a LivingProp in the classroom scenes. Videos which actually involve him go back and forth between him being a well-behaved kid at the mercy of trouble-makers or as a trouble-maker himself.
* TheDragon: Often to Dora, whenever Boots isn't playing the role.
* LivingProp: Usually is just someone to fill up classroom space at someone's school when not being used as a character.
* PermaStubble: Inexplicably has a grey goatee despite being elementary school aged.
* SatelliteCharacter: Practically indistinguishable from Dora when trouble-making alongside her.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Michael Jackson]]

Whether or not as a cameo appearance or as a recurring character, a caricature of Music/MichaelJackson can be found in a large amount of Comedy World videos. He is often distinguishable by his strangely abnormal body structure (double chin, droopy eyes, contour cheek lines and having two nostrils without a nose structure), large sunglasses, black hair and white suit, based on Jackson's appearance in the later years of his life.

* CoolShades: Almost never seen without them.
* NotQuiteDead: Michael Jackson is almost always depicted as being alive despite his real-life death in 2009. This is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in videos where he does appear.
* RealPersonCameo: When he is a minor character in videos.
* RealitySubtext: Strangely averted and inverted, Michael's career, especially in his later years, and the various controversies he ran into are almost never talked about.
* UncannyValley: His appearance in general is rather off putting, much like the damage done to Michael's appearance.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Trip]]
[[quoteright:101:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trip_goanimate.PNG]]

Trip, the rival to Ash Ketchum in the Unova seasons of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', is a popular character to use as a trouble-maker in the grounded videos, whether they are actually ''Pokémon'' oriented or not.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Trip could get a little rude toward Ash in his home series, but it was clear that it was just an act. Here, though he really is a genuine {{Jerkass}}.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Canon Trip is a somewhat aloof character who acts like a jerk and who became nicer over time. Here, Trip is your typical [=GoAnimate=] brat with none of that.
* AdaptedOut: He is almost never featured with his Pokémon, not even as stock images.
* CanonForeigner: Has invented parent characters.
* GISSyndrome: Some videos have Trip (and other ''Pokémon'' characters) as stock images of themselves.
* SmallReferencePools: It seems odd that Trip (despite his HiddenDepths) would be the main trouble-maker from the ''Pokémon'' anime, giving one the idea that someone saw his [[{{Jerkass}} initial treatment of Ash]] in his debut episodes (but saw no others where Trip went through CharacterDevelopment), made a grounded video out of him, and the fanbase just ran with it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kai Lan]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_860.jpg]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: Like every "baby show" character.
* AdaptationalVillainy: She's not [[WesternAnimation/NiHaoKaiLan the sweet kid you know and love(?)]].
* AsianRudeness: Ye Ye even calls her a "Chinese brat".
* BadassAdorable: Small yet can do all sorts of badass stuff.
* CreepyChild: She does quite a few creepy stuff.
* CuteAndPsycho: A cute Chinese kid who is a jerk.
* EnfantTerrible: Not to the extent of the other kids, but still pretty evil.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Has one sick sense of humor.
* {{Jerkass}}: A total prick.
* KidsAreCruel: Picks on everybody.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Although any troublemaker is this.
* SuperStrongChild: Definitely.
* TheRival: To Dora.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Angelica Pickles]]
[[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/angelicagoanimate.png]]

In the few Grounded videos that involve ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', Angelica Pickles tends to be the most common trouble-maker for obvious reasons.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While Canon!Angelica already liked picking on the babies, she rarely (if ever) physically attacked them in her home series, as she's willing to do here.
* BadassAdorable: She's a toddler who is physically strong.
* BerserkButton:
** The existence of the other babies irks her.
** Don't talk to her while she's using her phone.
* ButtMonkey: Far more so than she is canonically. Here, Angelica is far less successful in getting away with her wrong-doings.
* EnfanteTerrible: She's three years old and loves bullying the babies.
* EvilBrit: Most users give her British voice settings.
* GirlishPigtails: A trait that she has canonically.
* {{Jerkass}}: Though, really, she isn't really much worse than she is canonically.
* SpoiledBrat: Again, par for the course with Angelica. She barely even [[TookALevelInJerkass takes a level in]] {{Jerkass}} from her canon characterization.
* UnexplainedAccent: Commonly has a British voice setting, while none of the other characters (including her parents) do.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Noddy]]
While nowhere near as commonly used in the Grounded videos as Caillou, Dora, or Little Bill, [[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy]] makes appearances in these videos from time to time, usually as a troublemaker, but also has his fair share of appearances as a hero or bystander. As per the norm, characterisation of him varies from user to user; in many cases, he's not the CheerfulChild you know him for, and will instead regularly cause mischief much like all the other troublemakers. Usually voiced by David.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Like all other "baby show" characters.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Pretty much a given at this point.
* ButtMonkey: Much like every other troublemaker.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether or not he is a troublemaker varies, considering he has appeared in a few "[Character] Misbehaves at [Resort]" videos as a good guy. Most users seem to depict him as one, however.
* EnfantTerrible: Less so than some other troublemakers but still evil.
* HairTriggerTemper: [[UpToEleven Much more so]] than his original series.
* {{Jerkass}}: It's [=GoAnimate=].
* JerkassWoobie: Almost goes without saying.
* PerversePuppet: A wooden doll who will stop at nothing to get his way.
* VocalDissonance: Much like Caillou, as his usual voice setting is David, he sounds much older than he looks.

[[caption-width-right:238:Example designs, from [=KnucklesHedgehog2010=]'s series.]]
Every series revolving around troublemakers tends to have officers show up in some shape or form; exactly how effective they are is [[DependingOnTheWriter dependent on the video maker]].
* DeusExMachina: Whenever trouble's afoot, the cops will often show up to resolve the plot in a matter of moments.
* InstantEmergencyResponse: No matter where the action's taking place, you can count on the police to show up in a jiffy; [=GoAnimate=] City must have some pretty impressive funding for the emergency services!
* ThoseTwoGuys: Often appear in pairs; other arrangements and assortments are also common.

[[folder: Barney the Dinosaur]]
[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen Formerly one of the most popular targets of mockery]], you can expect [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]] to appear in quite a few cartoons. Surprisingly, he gets off quite lightly most of the time compared to most kids-friendly characters.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Several users, when not affected by GISSyndrome, design Barney as a human with purple and green skin.
* BerserkButton: Don't steal his money.
* BountyHunter: He was once hired by Boris and Miss Martin to kill, and later capture, Caillou. [[BewareTheSillyOnes He succeeded.]]

* ComputerVirus: The "Barney Error" videos are usually played this way.
* EvilCounterpart: Some users have a "Good Barney" (purple and green) and an "Evil Barney" (red and purple).

[[folder: Marquez Family]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: All of them, but especially Mami and Abuela when compared to their canonical counterparts.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Arguably got it worse than Caillou's family as all of them have become pretty terrible people in the grounded videos.
* BadassFamily: They can pull off amazing feats together, or just one member of the family doing something awesome.
* BreakoutCharacter: For basically the same reasons as Caillou and his family.
* ButtMonkey[=/=]TheChewToy: They get put through a lot of bad luck.
* DependingOnTheWriter: It's rare, but some users do give Dora and her family more sympathetic qualities.

* {{Jerkass}}: Dora is a bully, and her parents are abusive towards her.
* PetTheDog: They're not incapable of empathy, even if these moments tend to be fewer and far between compared to Caillou and his family.

[[quoteright:181:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alans_dora_9.PNG]]


Dora is the other most popular grounding victim in the grounded videos. Much like Caillou, she regularly misbehaves for a multitude of different reasons before inevitably getting busted and grounded. Despite interacting with Caillou frequently, most of the videos involving her have their own set of characters for Dora to interact with. Many of Dora's videos take place at school, where Dora pulls pranks, picks on other students like star student Gina, and makes messes that get her grounded. She is voiced by Kayla or Julie.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Just like Caillou, she's not the plucky, happy girl you know.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Just like all the troublemakers.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Dora harbors a resentment for her fellow student Gina, who is much more well-behaved and does well at school.
* BreakoutCharacter: The second most well-known character in the [=GoAnimate=] world.
* ButtMonkey: For similar reasons to Caillou; characters largely don't enjoy having her around.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Dora attempts to stand up to her parents in some videos, to varying levels of success. ([[StatusQuoIsGod Usually]], [[DownerEnding they don't work]].)
* CreepyChild: To an extent.
* CuteAndPsycho: Not to Caillou's extent, though.
* CuteBruiser: Just as strong as Caillou and just as cute.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Her general appearance [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the user.]]

* DistaffCounterpart: To Caillou.
* TheDogBitesBack: Often in Deconstruction videos or videos involving her where she isn't the target.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Often gets called "Dora The Motherfucking Explorer" by her parents.
* EnfanteTerrible: Not as much as Caillou is, but she is known to be violent.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She and Caillou tend to be good friends.

%%* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon

* {{Jerkass}}: Like all troublemakers.
* JerkassWoobie: Dora is a troublemaker, though she can be sympathized with because of how unfair she gets treated.
* KidsAreCruel: Mean to other students and is constantly pranking them.
* MeanBoss: Often is this towards Boots if he's present in a video.
* NeverMyFault: In samster5677's videos, Dora is convinced that Gina deserves all the attacks that she has been given and that she (Dora) shouldn't be punished for it. Later videos has her convinced that ''all'' of her punishments are this and that her mother treats her unfairly. To be quite fair, it's hard to tell who is in the right in that case.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Lots of characters get spooked by her actions, even if they aren't so bad.
* PetTheDog: Dora is evil, but does have kind moments.
* PhraseCatcher: "Dora the Motherfucking Explorer".
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite being a little girl, Dora is capable of hospitalizing people she beats up, moving large objects like 1,500 pound balls with ease, and destroying buildings single-handedly. (Though the last case is seen across many troublemakers.)
* ThePrankster: Dora has an affinity for pulling pranks, almost all of which backfire on her spectacularly.
%%* ShipTease: With Caillou.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Dora gets injured by her own tricks at times.

* ThrowTheDogABone: Often gets this in deconstruction videos or videos involving her where she isn't the target.

* TookALevelInKindness: In Deconstruction videos, or videos involving her where she isn't the target, she comes off as a bit nicer.
%%* TragicVillain

[[folder: Mami and Papi Marquez]]
[[quoteright:134:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dorasparents.PNG]]

Dora's mother and father, nicknamed Elena or Veena, is the most common character seen to punish Dora. She is shown to have a HairTriggerTemper and is annoyed fairly easily, and sometimes crosses the line when punishing her daughter. Dora's father, who is often nicknamed Miguel or Cole, is shown to be marginally less harsh, but still plenty verbally abusive to Dora.

* AbusiveParents: In several videos, but most notably [=Samster5677=]'s series. Mami in particular is often shown to be an extremely abusive mother who is quick to ground Dora the second she screws up and sometimes will even tell Dora to her face that she wishes Dora were dead.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the original show, Mami and Papi are shown to be level-headed parents who show great enthusiasm in Dora's exploring. However, in the videos, they are shown to hate Dora's exploring and downright hate Dora to the point they wish she never existed.
* AdaptationalVillainy: It's to be expected, since they are the parents of a troublemaker in this series.
* {{Angrish}}: Like Boris, Mami and Papi are shown to use "OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH!!!" when giving out to Dora. Because of Cole's thick Spanish accent, his rendition of this phrase sounds more like "OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK!!!" instead.
* AxCrazy: Most of the Punishment Day videos involving Mami portray her as this.
* BadassMustache: Miguel/Cole has one.
* BareYourMidriff: Elena[[note]]she only wear a dress in the original series and when depicted by some users.[[/note]]
* BerserkButton: Dora's trademark exploring is a big pet peeve of theirs.
* BoomerangBigot: They often attack Dora for being Mexican, despite also being Mexican.
* TheBully: They both are well known for their abuse of their daughter.
* CatchPhrase: "Dora the Mexican/Motherfucking Explorer!"
* DependingOnTheWriter: Some users show them as okay parents, but most others show them as evil ones.
* DistaffCounterpart: They are both respectively ones to Boris and Doris.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: In some videos, they are shown to have gone to college with Boris and Doris.
* {{Expy}}: Mami is very similar to Boris in ways, right down to the point where she sometimes has a "Teeth Girl" variant or shipped with him. Likewise, Papi is the Doris expy.
* FanNickname: Elena and Veena are sometimes used as Mami's two nicknames, given she has no name. Miguel is the name typically given to Papi, though the name Cole is sometimes used as well.
* HairTriggerTemper: Elena
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: They attempt to strike down Dora's villainy, even though they're just as mean as she is.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Some videos have them both insult Dora for being Hispanic, even though they are also Hispanic.
* {{Jerkass}}: They're abusive, unsympathetic, and racist to Mexicans.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Mami and Papi aren't incorrect about Dora's brattiness.
* MagnificentMoustachesOfMexico: Miguel.
* MakeUpIsEvil: Elena/Veena is an abusive mom who wears lipstick.
* NeverMyFault: Elena in [=samster5677=]'s videos can take this to extremes as some of Dora's actions are caused by Elena making sure that Dora's life is as miserable as possible, then being shocked when Dora responds explosively.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: They are kinda creepy.
* SatelliteCharacter: Cole doesn't get much characterization beyond agreeing with Mami on something.
* SpicyLatina: Elena/Veena
* TautologicalTemplar: They have their moments.
* UnexplainedAccent: Mami talks in a faint Indian accent.
* TheUnintelligible: Most of Papi's typical voices are ones intended for Spanish dialogue, causing his dialogue to be so thickly accented that most users caption it.
* WouldHurtAChild: They inflict agonizing Punishment Days on Dora whenever she messes up.

[[folder: Abuela Marquez]]
[[quoteright:161:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/abuela.PNG]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: She's a CoolOldLady in Dora's original show, but not here.

* TheUnintelligible: One of her most popular voice setting is Soledad, which is a full-on Spanish accent. Due to this, Abuela is commonly subtitled for the audience.

[[folder: Boots]]
[[quoteright:261:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goanimateboots.jpg]]

Despite the animal characters largely being not present in the grounded videos, Boots still makes appearances from time to time.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Just like everyone else.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Went from Dora's friend to somebody who's fine with betraying Dora.
* CowardlySidekick: And not in a funny way, see DirtyCoward.
* DemotedToExtra: Even though he still appears more often than the other animal characters (i.e. Benny, Tico, etc.), Boots, for the most part, rarely appears in the grounded videos unless a plot requires him to be present.
* DirtyCoward: Whenever he and Dora get caught causing trouble, Boots will ditch Dora and let her get all the punishment for it.
* TheDragon: To Dora whenever Kevin isn't playing the role.
* EtTuBrute: Willing to betray Dora whenever she does something bad.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Actually subverted unlike the original show.
* {{Gonk}}: Owing to not being a human character like everyone else, some of his depictions can get rather odd to look at compared to everyone else.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's an awful friend to Dora, even willing to ditch Dora when something bad happens.
* ManiacMonkeys: He's a monkey and he likes causing trouble.
* NonHumanSidekick: To Dora.
* TheStarscream: The treacherous right-hand man of Dora.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: The character dynamic between Dora and Boots becomes this in the grounded videos, to the point that Boots can and will [[EtTuBrute throw Dora under the bus]] when she misbehaves.

[[folder: Swiper]]
Another of the animal characters who will appear in the Dora videos if so chosen by the user.

* AdaptationalBadass: Is a far more capable character here than in his home series.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Swiper was merely a kleptomaniac with sympathetic qualities in the original ''Dora the Explorer'' series. In the grounded videos, however, Swiper has no qualms about actually hurting Dora and is sometimes genuinely malicious.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the main series, Swiper would never go as far as killing Dora.
* DemotedToExtra: Like Boots, Swiper only appears every so often in the grounded videos, usually only when a video's plot requires him to be there.
* {{Jerkass}}: He often exhibits genuine malice in the grounded videos. (Especially towards Dora.)
* MalevolentMaskedMan
* SwiperNoSwiping: Well duh, he's the TropeNamer.
* WouldHitAGirl: He has no qualms with harming Dora.
* WouldHurtAChild: Kills Dora or just hurts her often.

[[folder: Azul]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/azulthetraingoanimate.png]]

A blue train, often stated to be "fake" for one reason or another. Because of this, he's often shown as a target for grounding in Thomas-related videos.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Like all the other troublemakers.
* BerserkButton: As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd82jI4IaGw this video]] shows, he HATES being called slow.
* BodyHorror: Insomuch as it can apply to a train. He often gets recycled into other, more mundane trains.
* ButtMonkey: Is often bullied by other train characters.
* JerkassWoobie: He is an abrasive character, but with everyone picking on him and calling him a "[[NoTrueScotsman fake train]]", can you really blame him?
* SpecialEffectsFailure: Because of the limitations of [=GoAnimate=], he's often portrayed as a white-skinned human with a blue and cyan gi, blue hair, a blue chef's hat, and gray shoes; similar to the ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' characters whenever they appear.

[[folder: Miss Christina]]
[[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misschristina.PNG]]

In lieu of having Miss Martin as her teacher at school, Dora has her own teacher in the form of Miss Christina. She is commonly depicted as an African-American woman in a red dress with white ruffles who is frequently exasperated with Dora's actions and pranks. She is voiced by Amy.

* BerserkButton:
** Do not misbehave in her class.
** May God have mercy on your soul if you call her the n-word.
* ButtMonkey: Dora's pranks tend to influence Miss Christina in many negative ways.
* CanonForeigner: An original [=GoAnimate=] character.
* ClusterFBomb: Downplayed. While she often uses "fuck", it is often when she is mad, and hardly uses it when in a normal attitude.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Her appearance tends to differentiate between users and ''even'' people who use her. Examples include if her dress has a halterneck-like strap or fluff, alongside a pink bangle on her right arm or not. Her shade of hair color, while usually chocolate brown, also differentiates at random.
* HappyHolidaysDress: Her dress has a very "Mrs. Claus"-esque design to it, right down to the white fluff at the hems.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Any sympathy can be given to her since Dora is a true jerk.
* JerkassWoobie: Miss Christina is a firm, crude teacher but she doesn't really deserve what Dora does to her.
* TheMeanBrit: Downplayed. A better teacher than Miss Martin, but still kinda mean. And she's British.
* SadistTeacher: Somewhat downplayed, surprisingly enough. By and large, Miss Cristina is far less of an EvilTeacher than Miss Martin, and, despite not liking Dora very much, usually treats Dora the same as the other students until Dora causes trouble. However, she does have her moments where she actively antagonizes Dora, though they happen less often than Miss Martin.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Miss Christina is put on the receiving end of pain caused by Dora's tricks.
* SternTeacher: Very strict to her students, especially Dora.
* TeachersPet: Gina Delgado is her favorite student, to Dora's chagrin.
