History Characters / TheAddamsFamily

* BareYourMidriff: Most of the outfits she wears show off her midriff which serves to emphasise her nature as a manipulative seductress.

* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' criticise her taste in interior decoration.
* BlackWidow: Her prominent moniker. She killed her previous husbands for their money. She didn't have much luck with Fester, him being an Addams and all.

* EvilerThanThou: While it looks as though she'd fit right in with the Addams Family given her real nature, the truth is Debbie is a sociopath could never be one of them as she lacks the ability to love, respect, or support anyone that's not herself. For as twisted and depraved as the Addams Family are, they enjoy torturing and trying to kill each other because to them it's a game that they all choose to play and deep down they love each other as family. Debbie, despite the Addams family all showing they ''completely sympathize with her messed up life story'', still wants them all dead and gone to get their money.

* EvilCounterpart: To Morticia. Morticia dresses all in black while Debbie is evil and dresses in white. Morticia not only loves Gomez but respects and supports him, and their kinky torture games are committed with consent on both partners' ends. Debbie only wanted Fester's money, puts him through psychosexual mind games to keep him away from his family, wants him dead just to get everything he owns, and laughs in his face saying "No woman in her right mind would love you!" Morticia loves each of her children dearly and is a MamaBear. Debbie secretly hates the Addams' kids and tries to kill them along with their parents.

* {{Foil}}: Serves as one for Margaret Alford-Addams from the last Movie as an outsider to the Addams Family that eventually became a part of the Addams Clan. Margaret only knew of them secondhand through her previous husbands' dealings in finances with them, but it was only after spending time to really get to know the Family, she happily marries into the family and is wholeheartedly accepted by them, [[WartsAndAll despite Margaret not initially sharing in many of the Families quirks.]] Meanwhile Debbie only got into the family because she was interested in getting their money and never really loved Fester and due to her façade the rest of the family never really got to trust her until the end when Debbie becomes completely unhinged and shows her true ruthless side hidden beneath, yet she is too blinded by her greed and hatred for them that she doesn't see their appreciation for her bloodlust.

Margaret only knew of them secondhand through her previous husbands' dealings in finances with them, but it was only after spending time to really get to know the Family, she happily marries into the family and is wholeheartedly accepted by them, despite Margaret not initially sharing in many of the Families quirks. Meanwhile Debbie only got into the family because she was interested in getting their money and never really loved Fester and due to her façade the rest of the family never really got to trust her until the end when Debbie becomes completely unhinged.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite how dark, creepy and macabre the family is, the Addamses are all genuinely good people. Amusingly, the Addamses aren't even aware of how strange they are. They think of themselves as a typical, normal American family and are nice enough to try not to say anything about those weirdos who play with puppies and pick flowers. Gomez and Morticia are actually the most affectionate and loving couple in the show, and possibly in television as a whole, barely keeping their hands off each other and are unashamedly affectionate in public.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: The Addamses consider the Normanmeyers good family friends despite (or probably because of) the Normanmeyers' actions.

* HypocriticalHumor: Par for the course with the jokes of the show. The Addamses see themselves as the true normal people; it's everyone else who is a freak.

* MadeOfIron: Zigzagged. Most of the time, they never get hurt or killed even when they logically should, however there are some exceptions, such as Gomez getting amnesia in "Amnesia in the Addams Family".

** Tish, too, from the 90s, has much more of a SugarAndIcePersonality and has a snobby side, sneering at the children's play about singing flowers and Debbie's liking of pastels. Basically, non-goth preferences are beneath the Addamses.

* CigarChomper: As shown in the above image, Gomez spends a lot of scenes smoking cigars, even when he's on his head practicing his Zen Yogi poses. While the expensiveness of the habit does reflect the Addamses' absurdly large amount of money, the aggressiveness usually implied by the trope usually doesn't come into play, as [[PerkyGoth Gomez]] is one of the more genial and less intimidating members of the family.

* MadeOfIron: Zigzagged. He's been shown to be immune to electricity, cyanide and henbane (the latter two he drinks, in fact). In the update of "Morticia's Romance", he falls into a vat of hydrochloric acid and survives unharmed. Averted, and possibly inverted, in the N.E.S. video game, which has ''rats'' being able to hurt or kill him.

* PerkyGoth: He's the most energetic and emotional of the Addamses.

* TooKinkyToTorture: Especially in the films. All the Addamses like being tortured, although this is seen most prominently with Morticia in the films.

The faithful servant. Always acquiesces to the Addamses' wishes, even when they sometimes make him give the vocal equivalent of a FacePalm.

* CatchPhrase: In the 60s series, his was a guttural "You rang?" whenever called. This was actually a ThrowItIn by the actor which the producers loved. And when bringing a guest into the house, he often says "Follow me" when leading a guest to see one of the Addamses, particularly Gomez.

* InformedAttribute: Played for laughs. If you ask the Addamses, Lurch is an eloquent devil-may-care [[TheCasanova playboy]].

* FatBastard: Averted. He is overweight but is actually a very nice and friendly person despite sharing the questionable interests and hobbies of the other Addamses. Though he ''was'' like this as an amnesiac in the movie before his memory returned.

** Later in that same movie, [[spoiler: after the Addamses have fallen upon hard times]], she hunts dogs and cats for the family's meals.

The Addamses' cousin. A short creature who is covered completely with long hair and usually wears a bowler hat, gloves, and sunglasses. Speaks exclusively in high-pitched gibberish that is understood only by the Addamses and no one else. In the films, he falls in love with, marries, and has a child with Margaret Alford.

* IntelligibleUnintelligible: To the other Addamses; they understand his gibberish.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Minor case in the old TV series. When the Addams are trying to "help" a pair of newly weds who moved in next door, Morticia questions Thing if he ever wants to meet a nice girl, to which he gives a negative response. When Morticia laughs it off and affectionately tells him to find his "own friends" he gives a much more positive response. Gomez laughingly refers to Thing as a "woman-hater," but this statement largely contradicts Thing's helpful interactions with the female Addamses. So it's unclear if Gomez is correct in his assumption, or if his words [[UnusualEuphemism had another meaning]].

** In the 1965 Jack Sharkey book, he writes if he has anything to say. He came with the house, and did not at first realize that the Addamses had legitimately bought the place.

* MeaningfulName: None of the Addamses had names until the TV series, and Charles Addams suggested "Pubert" for the boy, but the network wouldn't allow it. He became "Pugsley", so this is a ShoutOut to Creator/CharlesAddams's original suggestion.

* AbusiveParent: She uses physical and verbal abuse on Fester when he seems to be acting out of line to her, primarily when he starts enjoying his time with the Addamses. When he tries to argue against his mother taking Gomez’s fortune, she insults him and tells him that she should have left him where she found him.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Charms her way into the Addamses' good graces by disguising herself as a therapist under the name "Greta Pinder-Schloss" who has a pretentiously knowledgeable, patient and motherly attitude towards the ignorant.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Despite Tully being the one to come up with the whole idea of robbing the Addams family, she fully intends to abandon him when she gets her hands on the Addamses' fortune.
* ConWoman: She's obviously been scheming and scamming for decades, looking for that last huge payoff. And she thinks she's found it with the Addamses.

* EvilMatriarch: She’s Fester’s adoptive mother and she constantly abused her authority over him to ensure he stuck to their plan. When it becomes clear “Gordon” is starting to warm up to the Addamses’, she becomes angry and resorts to emotional blackmail to get her back under her thumb.

* ManipulativeBitch: As befits a career criminal and con woman, she is great at scheming. Plays the Addamses like fiddles with her fake "Dr. Pinder-Schloss" identity, convincing them that her son Gordon is the long-lost Fester. Even when the charade starts to fall apart, she manages to save it by convincing Gomez and Morticia that their suspicion and unease around "Fester" only ''proves'' he is Fester. And above all else, she [[spoiler: decades ago molded an amnesiac Fester Addams into her dutiful son and criminal accomplice]].

* AmoralAttorney: He is seen trying to embezzle the Addamses fortune, primarily to escape from his debts with {{Loan Shark}}s but also because of his own greed and desire for their dubloons. Some comments about them being his last paying clients additionally give off a very bad impression. Even Craven mocks and lampshades it.
-->'''Tully''': Hey, I have been the Addamses lawyer for years. They are morons.\\

** Even the Addamses' ''house'' gets in on the act, as the front gate loves "romping' with Tully. And the bear skin rug tries to take a bite out of him, too. And that's within the first ten minutes of the movie!
* TheDragon: By the end of the first live-action film he has elevated into this from a simple terrified pawn after taking matters into his own hands by getting the Addamses' evicted and Gordon becoming much less cooperative leading Abigail to trust him more.

* GoodCounterpart: To her husband Tully, who's an AmoralAttorney looking to cheat the Addams Family out of their vast fortune and looks down on them as freaks. Margaret, meanwhile, does charity work and is on a friendlier basis with the Addamses from the start. She immediately voices her doubts when Fester and "Dr. Pinder-Schloss" show up out of fear the family's being scammed, and eventually leaves Tully for a more fulfilling marriage with Cousin It.

* EvilerThanThou: While it looks as though she'd fit right in with the Addams Family given her real nature, the truth is Debbie is a sociopath could never be one of them as she lacks the ability to love, respect, or support anyone that's not herself. For as twisted and depraved as the Addams Family are, they enjoy torturing and trying to kill each other because to them it's a game that they all choose to play and deep down they love each other as family. Debbie, despite the Addamses all showing they ''completely sympathize with her messed up life story'', still wants them all dead and gone to get their money.

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Electrocuted by the cross-wired death chairs she tries to use on the Addamses.]]

* LongLostRelative: Subverted. He and the Addams think they're this of each other, but really the Addamses just got the wrong reunion invitation.

* FriendlyEnemy: N.J. likes the Addamses despite their weirdness and his parent's attitude towards them.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Norman and Normina are constantly thinking of extravagant, horrible ways to try and get rid of the Addams Family for good when they aren't exclaiming how much they loathe and detest the Addamses for being monstrous freaks. At no point do they ever understand this behavior is the reason ''why'' the Addams Family love them so much, thus making every effort to get rid of them doomed to failure.

* HypocriticalHumor: Norman Normanmeyer and his wife Normina both despise the Addamses for being weird when they themselves have a very unhealthy obsession with underwear. Their obsessive hatred for the Addamses also verges on borderline sadistic at times.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: They may have a rather prejudice attitude towards the Addamses, but always reluctantly thank them for their good deeds and they actually care about their son despite him being friends with Wednesday and Pugsley.

* MirroringFactions: Norman and Normina fail to recognize that they have a lot more in common with the Addamses than they'd like to admit. As the Addams Family are devoted to their strange and bizarre lifestyle, the Normanmeyers are dedicated to the exact opposite end of the spectrum by upholding a very strange idea of "Normalcy" with the same energy as the Addamses. Norman and Normina love each other as much as Gomez and Morticia even if they don't ravish each other as frequently as the Addams husband and wife do. While Norman and Normina don't see eye to eye with their son N.J., they clearly love N.J. and N.J. loves them almost as much as Gomez and Morticia love Wednesday and Pugsley. It's no wonder the Addams Family believe the Normanmeyers are their friends. They have so much in common!

* ObsessivelyNormal: The reason why Norman and Normina hate the Addamses is because they are "weirdoes".
* OnlySaneMan: N.J. is the only member of his family who understands the Addams Family are harmless, and repeatedly points out the ridiculous ways his parents want to get rid of them will only make the Addamses like them more.

* SitcomArchnemesis: Well, they're not exactly villains, but they oppose the Addamses and everything they stand for in the 90s cartoon and are the most frequently recurring semi-antagonists.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Norman and his wife Normina both despise the Addamses, but not their son N.J., who is even friends with Wednesday and Pugsley.
* UnknownRival: To the Addamses, who never seem to catch on that they aren't their good friends. Uncle Fester in particular sees Norman as his best friend, much to the latter's chagrin.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While they are rather hostile to the Addamses, it is often only to keep their lifestyle from being a danger to others. That said, there are plenty of episodes where they go out of their way to try and humiliate and harass the Addamses not because they pose a threat, but for the joy of making them miserable.

* ThePollyanna: Zigzagged. She shifts between being cheerful and perky and being TheEeyore.

* GenkiGirl: Zigzagged. "Happy Birthday, Grandma Frump" proves that she has a lot of energy. However, as this behaviour is considered unusual, she doesn't normally use said energy.

* TeamPet: He is the pet of the Addamses.
* UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: Is a lion pet of the Addamses.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Many of them have multiple arms. As for dangerous... well, they ''are'' Addamses.

* TheChewToy: During her stay a summer camp, Wednesday leaves her to drown and has her bound to a pyre drenched in oil while Wednesday lights a match. Both times she shows up unscathed in a later scene.

** In the original cartoons, she is prone to a SlasherSmile.

* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Whether she's Gomez's mother or Morticia's mother is never consistent. She started out as Morticia's mother in the comic strips, but in the 1960s TV series she was Gomez's mother, with Morticia's mother existing as a separate character, and was made to be Morticia's mother again in the 70s cartoon. She went back to being Gomez's mother in the 1977 special Halloween with ''The New Addams Family'', once again coexisting with Morticia's mother. After that, she became Morticia's mother again for the live-action films and the 90s cartoon and went back to being Gomez's mother in ''The New Addams Family'' and the 2019 animated film. The inconsistency was mocked in the 2010 musical, when Gomez and Morticia are stunned by the realization that she's been living with them for years with Gomez convinced she's Morticia's mother and vice-versa, implying she is in fact a total stranger.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His television and film counterparts are portrayed as dashing and good-looking in contrast to his New Yorker counterpart's more grotesque appearance.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: For starters, there is the fact that their definition of "playtime" involves methods that would more than likely injure or kill most people, yet they somehow always make it out of their pastimes unscathed. Morticia can ''literally'' smoke from her body.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: For starters, there is the fact that their definition of "playtime" involves methods that would more than likely injure or kill most people. Morticia can ''literally'' smoke from her body.

* SmallParentHugeChild: Lurch is 6'9, but the episode "Mother Lurch Visits" reveals that his mother is very short.

* BornLucky: Gomez's methods of making money have barely anymore thought put into it than throwing darts at a board with your eyes closed. Yet no matter what he invests his fortune in it always ends up turning him a mint.

The loving family matriarch. Highly supportive of, encouraging to, and [[HappilyMarried in love with]] her husband.\\

* StrongFamilyResemblance: He's basically a baby version of Gomez.

Characters found in ''Franchise/TheAddamsFamily''.

[[folder:Wednesday Friday Addams]]

* AgeLift: In the original 1960s show, she was younger than her brother Pugsley. Most other adaptations make her older than Pugsley (or making them at least very close in age to each other). In the stage musical, she's 18 while Pugsley is still a little boy.

* BreakoutCharacter: Has become this thanks to the 90s films, with post-movie productions such as the musical and the animated film making her into a much more promiment character than before. She is even getting a TV show on Netflix with her as the main protagonist.

* DeadpanSnarker: Famously.

* SilkHidingSteel: Morticia is beautiful, reserved, soft-spoken and calm. Her knowledge of multiple languages, along with literature such as Shakespeare, Milton, Poe and Keats, is matched only by her expertise in poisonous plants and various supernatural abilities. The first film demonstrates that she is also quite willing to threaten people with death all without raising her voice, especially if they're a threat to her family, who she is devoted to. And while she's rarely shown using physical violence (and would prefer not to get blood on the carpets), she displays ImprobableAimingSkills with thrown knives and with a crossbow. In the first episode of ''The New Addams Family'', when Vlad suddenly kisses her, she even displays similar skill in judo to her sister, throwing him effortlessly to the ground, then calmly saying "I'll pretend that didn't happen" and walking off. Definitely not someone to mess with.

* PerpetualSmiler: In her own stoic way, she usually has a bemused smile on her face.
