----

[[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.

* BerserkButton: Don't Call him Little Pill!

* ButtMonkey: Like every troublemaker out there.

* DarkerAndEdgier: He is a murderer in [=GoAnimate=] in contrast to his original counterpart.
* EnfantTerrible: Maybe not as much as the other troublemakers but still pretty evil.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with a British accent, and a brat.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to April and Bobby's responsible.

* {{Jerkass}}: All troublemakers have this trait.

* 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.
* VillainTeamUp: Some videos have him as part of Caillou's circle of trouble-making friends alongside Dora.

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.

[[quoteright:177:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arthur_goanimate.PNG]]
While not featured as prominently in 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.

D.W. is, of course, Arthur's younger sister. Crazy as it sounds, she is fairly rarely portrayed as a troublemaker 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.

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.

[[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's commonly seen 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.
[[/folder]]
[[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.
[[/folder]]
[[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.
[[/folder]]
!!Other characters
[[folder:Kai Lan]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_860.jpg]]
The title character and protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/NiHaoKaiLan''.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Like every "baby show" character.
* AdaptationalVillainy: She's not the sweet kid you may 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: She's sometimes portrayed as this 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 troublemaker 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.
* EnfantTerrible: 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, Little Bill or Arthur, Noddy from ''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, characterization 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. He's 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's 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.

!!The Glover Family (''WesternAnimation/LittleBill'')
[[folder:General]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: It's [=GoAnimate=].
* AdaptationalVillainy: Being "baby show" characters in the Grounded videos, it's pretty much a given.
* ButtMonkey / TheChewToy: Lots of bad stuff befall them.
* DarkerAndEdgier: As usual.
* DysfunctionalFamily / BigScrewedUpFamily: Like most families in [=GoAnimate=].
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: April and Bobby are both the responsible to Little Bill's foolish.
* {{Jerkass}}: Some of them can be less jerky than other members of the family.
[[/folder]]
[[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.
* AdaptationalJerkass: He's not the innocent kid you knew him for in his original show.
* AdaptationalVillainy: A good kid in his actual show but not here.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Towards April and Bobby.
%%* BadassAdorable: Little Bill is powerful.
* BaldOfEvil: Little Bill is bald and he's a troublemaker.
* BerserkButton: Don't Call him Little Pill!
* BrattyHalfPint: A classic example.
* BigBrotherBully: {{Inverted|Trope}}, he is a little brother bully towards Bobby and April.
* ButtMonkey: Like every troublemaker out there.
* CuteBruiser: He's cute but don't be fooled. Little Bill is totally strong.
* DarkerAndEdgier: He is a murderer in [=GoAnimate=] in contrast to his original counterpart.
* EnfantTerrible: Maybe not as much as the other troublemakers but still pretty evil.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with a British accent, and a brat.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to April and Bobby's responsible.
* FreudianExcuse: Being mistreated by his parents.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: His parents make his life a living hell.
* {{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.
* VillainTeamUp: Some videos have him as part of Caillou's circle of trouble-making friends alongside Dora.
* WouldHitAGirl: Just ask April.
[[/folder]]
[[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.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Like everybody.
* BaldOfEvil: Big Bill's bald and is a pointlessly harsh man.
* BerserkButton: Some videos have hamburgers be this for Big Bill... for some reason.
* TheBully: They all gang up on Little Bill.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Per the norm.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Big Bill hates hamburgers.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They do seem to love April and Bobby.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters
* {{Jerkass}}: They are all-around assholes.
* JerkassHasAPoint: They're right about most things Little Bill does.
* TheMeanBrit: Brenda.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Big Bill and Brenda are both scary, but they don't always intend to.
* SassyBlackWoman: Brenda.
* TautologicalTemplar: Occasionally.
* UnexplainedAccent: Much like Little Bill, Brenda speaks with a British accent.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:April and Bobby]]
Little Bill's two sibilings.
----
* ButtMonkey/ TheChewToy: They get a lot of bad luck, normally caused by Little Bill.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: They're both the responsible to Little Bill's foolish.
* HeroAntagonist: Of course, they aren't as bad as other older siblings.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: April is hurt by Little Bill constantly.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Grandma Alice]]
Little Bill's grandmother.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the same vein as how Caillou's grandparents and Abuela Marquez, she is portrayed as more of a {{Jerkass}} compared to her canon counterpart who is a CoolOldLady.
* GrumpyOldMan: Elderly and cranky.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: She is elderly and is a complete jerk!
[[/folder]]
!!The Read Family (''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'')
[[folder:Arthur Timothy Read]]
[[quoteright:177:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arthur_goanimate.PNG]]
While not featured as prominently in 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]]
[[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 troublemaker 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.
[[/folder]]
[[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]]
[[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.

* 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.

* [[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.

* 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.

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.

[[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.
[[/folder]]
[[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.

!!Other characters
[[folder:Kai Lan]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_860.jpg]]
The title character and protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/NiHaoKaiLan''.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Like every "baby show" character.
* AdaptationalVillainy: She's not the sweet kid you may 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: She's sometimes portrayed as this 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 troublemaker 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.
* EnfantTerrible: 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, Little Bill or Arthur, Noddy from ''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, characterization 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. He's 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's 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.
