A long-suffering inventor.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Guy-Am-I's fur color is a bit darker compare to the original book, and his hat is dark brown.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Guy is shown to be quite the mechanic in the series.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the book, the very first thing he says is ''"I do not like that Sam-I-Am"'' and he doesn't soften up until the climax. Here, Guy shows his kinder side much earlier and he seems to make a genuine effort to be nice.
* BunglingInventor: Guy has inventions that always explode no matter what he does.
* ButtMonkey: Life seems determined to make Guy miserable.
* CerebusRetcon: Guy's grouchiness is shown to be justified every scene he's in. He's first introduced when he steps in a puddle and somehow sinks up to his waist. He's been trying to get his inventions onto the market for who-knows-how-long and on his most recent pitch, the device blows up in his face. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Then his hat gets bent.]]
* EpicFail: Pretty much all of Guy's inventions violently explode. Even very simple ones like a device made from two chopsticks, an eggbeater, and a pair of gloves.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Guy heading off to Snerzco in order to make his dreams come true...then he sinks half-way into a puddle. After that, he says "no" to pretty much everyone who interacts with him. Sam, in the meantime, befriends the exact same people Guy dismisses.
* FireForgedFriends: Sam and Guy slowly become friends over the course of the season, with Guy even stating that Sam is his friend in the final episode.
* GreenEyedMonster: His self-esteem issues come from being the least successful person in his large family.
* GrumpyBear: Guy. Though between his crushed dreams and the constant string of bad luck he endures at every turn, you can't blame him.
* IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam: [[spoiler:True to the book, Guy finally relents and eats the dish in "Anywhere", only this time it's to win back Sam's trust. Of course, he winds up enjoying it.]]
* MuseumOfBoredom: After giving up on his invention, Guy's fallback plan is to go to Meepville and get a job as a paint-watcher. Even the perpetually-enthusiastic Sam has to force himself to sound excited about that choice of career.
* OfficialCouple: With Michellee as the show progresses.

* AdaptationalBadass: Sam breaks into a zoo and liberates the chickeraffe ''Mission Impossible'' style.
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:No, seriously.

* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Sam was the true villain the entire time, wanting to turn Mr. Jenkins in as he's actually an animal-smuggling scam artist. But his time on the run with Guy made him switch sides in the end.]]
* BigEater: While his book counterpart was peddling the same Green Eggs & Ham meal for the whole book, this Sam gobbles down entire platters in seconds and would do so three or more times a day if given the opportunity. This actually bites him later, because [=McWinkle=] noticing his consumption of the meal is what makes him figure out where Sam's heading for next.

* FireForgedFriends: Sam and Guy slowly become friends over the course of the season, with Guy even stating that Sam is his friend in the final episode.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Sam is a popular customer at his local diner, but nobody there wants to spend much time with him outside of it for reasons [[JustifiedTrope that become frustratingly clear during his journey with Guy.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Sam decides against giving Mr. Jenkins to Snerz after the adventures he had with Guy, and encouraging words from EB.]]
* HeroicComedicSociopath: At his best, Sam is a BlitheSpirit. At his worst, he's an insensitive and witless gadabout who has no respect for the feelings or wishes of others. [[spoiler:And really, it's not really right to call him "heroic", given his true background.]]
* IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt: When Michellee tells Sam she's vegan, he thinks it's an illness, complete with sympathetically asking "How long have you known?"
* LovableRogue: Deconstructed with the precocious Sam whose harebrained whims and reckless spending of ''Guy's'' money leave the pair broke midway through the show. [[spoiler:Especially true when he’s revealed to be an animal-smuggling scam artist]].

----
* EvilCounterpart: To Guy, being large and grouchy, but [=McWinkle=] is genuinely successful at his profession.[[spoiler: Subverted when he's revealed to be GoodAllAlong]].
* EvilPoacher: [=McWinkle=]. [[spoiler:But not really: see GoodAllAlong]].
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: In a bizarre world, [=McWinkle=] gets by with sensible logic and ruthlessness. For example, when the protagonists would theoretically have an entire town to hide in, [=McWinkle=] is able to determine just from visiting a restaurant they were at, that the pair is short on cash (they only ordered partial portions) and to make money fast, they'd likely find work at the local carnival (which they are at). The Goat is a more typical example of the trope as he manages to get on Sam and Guy's trail with some rather off-kilter methods.
** [=McWinkle=] takes the cake upon using Sam's love of Green Eggs and Ham as a guide, figuring out which places serve the titular dish to figure out where Sam and Guy head next.

* BigBad: His desire for the Chickeraffe kickstarts the entire plot.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Averted with Snerz. [[spoiler:He had a pet Flemur once, he said he was inseparable with. But his mother noticed how miserable the Flemur was and let him escape free. He hasn't spoken to his mom since he was six, minus the scant prank call on Mother's Day.]]
* HiddenDepths: Suverted. His childhood tale of how his mother got rid of his beloved pet only sounded sympathetic on his side. His mother revealed that she released his pet because he sense of possession bordered on animal cruelty, showing that Snerz was always a SpoliedBrat.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Snerz has bouffant yellow hair (actually a fluffy animal he forces to cover his baldness), runs a conglomerate, collects a series of gold-plated objects and is heck-bent on proving he's better than everyone else. [[Usefulnotes/DonaldTrump Ring any bells?]] At one point he actually says he has "all the best words".
* SelfMadeMan: After falling out with his mother, Snerz left his country home and built himself an immense financial empire to fund his passion for collecting/imprisoning the world's rarest animals.
* ShadowArchetype: He's what Guy wishes he could be. Both are ambitious and took their families for granted. The difference being that while Snerz is a big success, he lacks any of Guy's redeeming qualities.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Subverted. [[spoiler:He goes into detail telling a story of how he was much happier as a child and affectionately played with his pet Flemur, but his mother accidentally let it out one night and he never recovered from the incident, becoming a cold-hearted business tycoon as an adult. Mama Snerz reveals later that it was a SelfServingMemory -- [[AndCallHimGeorge the Flemur was terrified of Snerz and he handled it much too roughly]], suggesting that he was always greedy and emotionally domineering to some extent.]]

A long-suffering inventor.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Guy-Am-I's fur color is a bit darker compare to the original book, and his hat is dark brown.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Guy is shown to be quite the mechanic in the series.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the book, the very first thing he says is ''"I do not like that Sam-I-Am"'' and he doesn't soften up until the climax. Here, Guy shows his kinder side much earlier and he seems to make a genuine effort to be nice.
* BunglingInventor: Guy has inventions that always explode no matter what he does.
* ButtMonkey: Life seems determined to make Guy miserable.
* CerebusRetcon: Guy's grouchiness is shown to be justified every scene he's in. He's first introduced when he steps in a puddle and somehow sinks up to his waist. He's been trying to get his inventions onto the market for who-knows-how-long and on his most recent pitch, the device blows up in his face. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Then his hat gets bent.]]
* EpicFail: Pretty much all of Guy's inventions violently explode. Even very simple ones like a device made from two chopsticks, an eggbeater, and a pair of gloves.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Guy heading off to Snerzco in order to make his dreams come true...then he sinks half-way into a puddle. After that, he says "no" to pretty much everyone who interacts with him. Sam, in the meantime, befriends the exact same people Guy dismisses.
* FireForgedFriends: Sam and Guy slowly become friends over the course of the season, with Guy even stating that Sam is his friend in the final episode.
* GreenEyedMonster: His self-esteem issues come from being the least successful person in his large family.
* GrumpyBear: Guy. Though between his crushed dreams and the constant string of bad luck he endures at every turn, you can't blame him.
* IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam: [[spoiler:True to the book, Guy finally relents and eats the dish in "Anywhere", only this time it's to win back Sam's trust. Of course, he winds up enjoying it.]]
* MuseumOfBoredom: After giving up on his invention, Guy's fallback plan is to go to Meepville and get a job as a paint-watcher. Even the perpetually-enthusiastic Sam has to force himself to sound excited about that choice of career.
* OfficialCouple: With Michellee as the show progresses.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: How does Guy express guilt for [[spoiler:telling Sam doesn't deserve anyone, particularly a mother? By eating Green Egss and Ham.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler: Oh dear does Guy rage at Sam when he's revealed to be a liar and a scam artist. But he stops himself after he says that Sam doesn't deserve anyone. [[ThatCameOutWrong Not even a mother.]]]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Guy used to be happy as a kid.
* YankTheDogsChain: Whenever Guy looks to be on the cusp of becoming more optimistic or tolerant of Sam, a new crisis (sometimes caused by Sam) immediately punishes him for letting his guard down.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Stress and depression have caused Guy to look vaguely middle-aged with prominent scowl lines. If his [[spoiler:high school classmates]] are of any indication, he's roughly in his early thirties. He's so young his grandfather is still alive.

A perky animal liberator.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler:It turns out he loves Green Eggs and Ham as it connects to his disappeared mother and he's actually a SadClown underneath his beaming smile.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Sam breaks into a zoo and liberates the chickeraffe ''Mission Impossible'' style.
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:No, seriously. Though not ''evil'' by any means, the last few episodes of Season 1 reveal that his claim to want to return Jenkins to his family in the wild was a lie and that '''he’s''' the one trying to sell him to Snerz as part of his career as a animal-smuggling scam artist, with a notorious enough rap sheet to catch the BADGUYS attention. Thankfully, his adventures and friendship with Jenkins and Guy inspire him to pull a HeelFaceTurn and help Jenkins for real]].
* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Sam-I-Am. Even though he is a scam artist and an animal smuggler in this version, his friendly attitude towards Guy and everyone is genuine. He later pulls a HeelFaceTurn, becoming a NiceGuy]]
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Sam was the true villain the entire time, wanting to turn Mr. Jenkins in as he's actually an animal-smuggling scam artist. But his time on the run with Guy made him switch sides in the end.]]
* BigEater: While his book counterpart was peddling the same Green Eggs & Ham meal for the whole book, this Sam gobbles down entire platters in seconds and would do so three or more times a day if given the opportunity. This actually bites him later, because [=McWinkle=] noticing his consumption of the meal is what makes him figure out where Sam's heading for next.
* CerebusRetcon: Sam's love of Green Eggs and Ham? [[spoiler:His mother always made it for breakfast and then one day she disappeared. He's eating it so much to see if that one matches hers.]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Sam I Am for Snerz; he wasn't trying to return the Chickeraff home, he was trying to sell it to Snerz!]]
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: [[spoiler: He’s on a journey to find his mother, while being a con artist and smuggler. It gets to the point where it hurts when Guy brings up the fact that she abandoned him during a heated argument.]]
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:While it's a stretch, it turns out lovable Sam is actually a scam artist in this setting.]]
* FireForgedFriends: Sam and Guy slowly become friends over the course of the season, with Guy even stating that Sam is his friend in the final episode.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Sam is a popular customer at his local diner, but nobody there wants to spend much time with him outside of it for reasons [[JustifiedTrope that become frustratingly clear during his journey with Guy.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Sam decides against giving Mr. Jenkins to Snerz after the adventures he had with Guy, and encouraging words from EB.]]
* HeroicComedicSociopath: At his best, Sam is a BlitheSpirit. At his worst, he's an insensitive and witless gadabout who has no respect for the feelings or wishes of others. [[spoiler:And really, it's not really right to call him "heroic", given his true background.]]
* IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt: When Michellee tells Sam she's vegan, he thinks it's an illness, complete with sympathetically asking "How long have you known?"
* LovableRogue: Deconstructed with the precocious Sam whose harebrained whims and reckless spending of ''Guy's'' money leave the pair broke midway through the show. [[spoiler:Especially true when he’s revealed to be an animal-smuggling scam artist]].
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Sam comes up with all sorts of lies about his mom, and how much of a wonderful mom she was. Truth is, she left him at an orphanage at a young age, without any clue why. The one thing he remembers is that she always made him breakfast: Green Eggs and Ham. He's on a journey to find her, by tasting every Green Eggs and Ham, hoping to find the ones that taste like hers.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** The one thing that Sam would show absolute terror of is the Old Goat.
** In one of the more depressing scenes of the first season, [[spoiler: he is shown in shock after Guy chews him out for hiding his past and Guy stating that Sam doesn't deserve anyone; not even a mother.]]
* ThePollyanna: Sam; not even getting stuck in jail dampens his mood.
* SadClown: [[spoiler:Sam, underneath his jovial exterior and love of Green Eggs and Ham is someone who is very lonely and that titular dish is his way to hopefully find his mother.]]
