History Characters / SchoolhouseRock

* TheArk: A reimagining of Noah's Ark... with ''MATH''.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Elementary, my dear."

* BornUnlucky: As a result of being a victim of gravity, the ''[[IncrediblyLamePun gravity]]'' of every situation he's in results in things always going wrong for him. Whether it's dropping the dishes, having a TraumaCongaLine of things attempting to fall on him before he falls himself, or ''somehow'' falling right out of the sky.

* SuddenlyVoiced: She speaks normally in the DVD intro, as opposed to singing or using a text bubble. She also speaks normally in the CD-ROM games.

* {{Biomanipulation}}: Assuming the magician is the one multiplying various objects by three in the “Now multiply from ten, backwards” sequences, this is one of his powers. One of the things he multiplies is an octopus’s tentacles, increasing their number from 8 to 24. [[BodyHorror The octopus is visibly terrified]].

* ADogNamedDog: They're well, a box, a bottle, and a can

* FloatingLimbs: Little Twelvetoes takes the concept to extremes. Empty space is apparently a key part of his biology (and his hat). His head, hands, and feet are held on like with magnets (i.e. pretty easy to remove and stick on somewhere else) instead of like with flesh and blood.

* SciFiBobHaircut

* TookALevelInKindness: Implied. The noun girl's brother gives her a flower, thus apparently changing Mrs. Jones's personality.

A young fifth-grader who's anatomy is the subject of the song.

%%* TalkingAnimal

* ShoutOut: His newspapers are manufactured by the [[Franchise/SpiderMan Daily Bugle]].

%%* ThreeAmigos

->''"Are you sure Music/DollyParton started this way?"''

An aspiring country artist who learns about the concept of interest in order to afford stereo equipment.

* CountryMusic: She's hoping to become as talented as Music/DollyParton.
* FarmersDaughter: She lives on a farm, has an optimistic view on her desired career choice, and is incredibly good-looking.
* MoneyDumb: Her understanding of balancing income is rather flimsy, as she doesn't want to invest due to it taking too long for her country career to get off the ground, thus leading to her learning about loans.

[[folder:Tax Man Max]]
!!Tax Man Max
->Voiced by: Patrick Quinn
A portly Broadway performer with an act as a friendly tax collector.

* EdibleThemeNaming: Both Rufus' and Rafaella's last name is based on the Sarsaparilla drink, that is sometimes asssoited with root beer.

A FarmBoy pondering over the nature of twelve when he has {{First Contact|Farmer}} with an alien.

* GoldTooth: One sits among his "trillion-dollar dentures".%%"dentures" can mean the teeth as a whole, natural or replacement.

* StarfishAliens: An alien with six fingers who can detach his head spin it around is quite odd to say the least.

* BareYourMidriff: She wears a blue crop top with a white star.

* MsFanservice: She's got quite the attractive design, what with having a ponytail and her [[BareYourMidriff midriff being exposed]], and during one of her costume changes, she's seen shamelessly flaunting her hip.
