History Characters / SteamPoweredGiraffe

* UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents: Rabbit sports a bit of a Joisey accent.

* TalkingToHimself: He provides the voice of both Beebop and QWERTY, who both appear during the show and talk at the same time. Downplayed, in that these voices are pre-recorded.

* BadassBaritone: Especially prominent in her bass harmonies in Rex Marksley, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6dW5aH6GTc and the beginning of Suspender Man]].

* BadassBaritone: Especially apparent in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdlXv_gdGqs "Me and My Baby (Saturday Night)"]].

* ManOfAThousandVoices: The Spine is capable of reaching a BadassBaritone to a high pitched falsetto.

* MrFanservice: ''Yes''. A [[SharpDressedMan sharply dressed robot]] with a [[BadassBaritone badass baritone]] and is a master of the [[FascinatingEyebrow fascinating eyebrow]]?

->'''Portrayed By:''' Matthew Smith ([[NamesTheSame no]] [[Creator/MattSmith rela]][[Characters/DoctorWhoEleventhDoctor tion]])

* MrFanservice / MsFanservice: She was the former before her transition, and is now the latter after. Several of her new outfits ''really'' emphasize her [[ShesGotLegs legs]].

* NiceHat: Her tophat, along with her goggles. Also counts as a [[TragicKeepsake tragic keepsake]], since it's from the late Peter Walter I, who died [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye while she and the other robots were fighting in Africa]]. One particular look used in 2015 omitted the hat outright and replaced it with a metal flower in her hair.

* ExtremeOmnivore: She eats practically everything in front of her, whether it's a book, the Amazing Incredible [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider]] [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]] and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Hatchworth's heart]]. She's claimed on multiple occasions that she's fueled by milk.

A swing-styled robot built out of prototype systems. He has a golden face, gloved hands, and a chain around his neck. Was retconned as a former member rejoining the band after Hatchworth's departure. He plays bass and piano.

* MythologyGag: Zero's backstory describes him as a robot that was formerly a member of the band, but who had left and had all traces of him removed, even his contributions to songs. While this is a {{Retcon}}, something very similar occurred when [[ThePeteBest Upgrade]] left the band in RealLife.

''Isabella Bunny Bennett''

''David Michael Bennett''

''Bryan Barbarin''

''Sam Luke''

''Jon Sprague''

''Erin Burke''

''Steve Negrete''

''Michael Reed''

''Matthew Smith'' ([[NamesTheSame no]] [[Creator/MattSmith rela]][[Characters/DoctorWhoEleventhDoctor tion]])

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Which is probably an effect of Blue Matter. Every Worker except Gabi (who wasn't wearing a wig) have had a blue streak in their hair, and Chelsea, Camille and Carissa's hairstyles have all been fully blue.

''Matthew Smith''

* BaldWomen: Bunny is completely bald (though she wears wigs quite often when out of character), and so was the original design for her character Rabbit. This was averted with Rabbit's temporary second design in early 2014, which gave her two types of hair: [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/trekkiebeth/12335288724/in/set-72157640436102636 human hair, and "robotic" hair that resemble dreadlocks]]. Rabbit's new design introduced in March 2014 instead gives her an [[http://instagram.com/p/lPy1wYpboV/ elaborate headpiece with a mix of large metal bolts, rabbit ears, and feather-like protrusions]].
** Averted since late 2014. She started wearing wigs on stage (the story explanation being that the ears fold into the head and hair comes out), tried out multiple different looks, and since the music videos for Vice Quadrant has had Isabella's real bright pink hair (with her hair changing after ''that'' to black).

* BadassMustache: Hatchworth.

* {{Adorkable}}: It's subtle, but his love of books, the Wild West and Disneyland, as well as the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmFJTL_NK8c "She Said Maybe"]], which paints him as being unable to ask a woman out on a date, make him this.

* {{Adorkable}}: Every time Hatchworth tries to act cool, he falls into this.

* TheVoiceless: The Walter Workers never speak, only communicating via body language and gestures. Averted in Episode 2 of ''SPG Radio Adventures'', in which Chelsea actually does speak. Chelse and Camille can also be seen speaking out-of-character in various fan-made videos.

* NiceGuy: He is friendly, charming and one of the most beloved members of the group within the fandom, and that's saying something considering the other members.

* TheVoiceless: The Walter Workers never speak, only communicating via body language and gestures.

* MyHeroZero: Zero is a unique robot, given that he's literally built out of incomplete systems and significantly physically stronger than the others.

* {{Unperson}}: Upgrade has been completely wiped from the band's history. Reportedly, the band had an especially bad falling out with her actress following her departure and bringing her up on their website will get you banned immediately.
** Averted, as the band have re-released the original version of Album One that includes Upgrade's vocals and her solo song, "I Am Not Alone". Link [[https://www.spgiraffestore.com/collections/music-albums/products/album-one-2009-release here]].

* {{Leitmotif}}: Every time the robots malfunction and Beebop summons them, a distinct musical cue accompanies them while they fix them. A more frantic version is heard whenever Rabbit goes haywere and the workers have to [[PercussiveMaintenance whack her over the head with a wrench]].
