* KnowNothingKnowItAll: An even dumber version than usual for this trope, since he can't even use complete sentences, but is still absolutely convinced he knows everything, especially in early episodes. This of course invariably lead to disaster.



* CreepyCrossdresser: In the "Robin Weasel" episode, where he takes Maid Marions place, and both Weasel and Baboob are horrified to discover him imprisoned in the castle. And so is Scheriff Nottingham (played by Jolly Roger) who ''didn't'' kidnap her/him this time.




to:

* InterspeciesRomance: The show constantly implies this, but never goes beyond that.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: As is shown in "I Am My Lifetime", when Lullabelle still spends time with Weasel at the Retirement Home for Elderly Cartoon Heroes... after 4 years of knowing him since he was born, because that's about as long as weasels live. As such, he's in his old age, while she has barely aged at all.

* ButtMonkey: [[AccidentalPun No pun intended]].

to:

* ButtMonkey: [[AccidentalPun No pun intended]]. Baboon tends to suffer, though it's mostly his own fault.



* DrivenByEnvy: Early on, Baboon (unsuccessfully) does anything he can to spite or outdo Weasel. This is [[DownplayedTrope toned down]] later, as he and Weasel become allies. Though I.R. will still try to supplant him if he has the chance (or thinks he does).



* GreenEyedMonster: Baboon's entire motivation is to show up Weasel at something. But he's so dumb and self-centered that it never works out.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychopathicManchild: At his worst, he's prone to destructive tantrums and is childishly petty.

Whereas Weasel is [[GentlemanAndAScholar scholarly, uber-competent, and selfless]], Baboon is a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] underachiever who constantly tries upstaging Weasel, who, even knowing this, considers him a friend and even goes out of his way to save his bacon.

* WickedWeasel:* {{Inverted}}. Weasel is a [[ChronicHeroSyndrome courageous, selfless hero]] who is [[TheAce great at everything]], pretty much the exact opposite of that trope's cowardly, self-centered sociopath that often has to resort to trickery and deceit to accomplish anything. This characterization of near-perfection serves primarily to set him up as the comedic {{Foil}} to I.R. Baboon.
