* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Tasha is a cynic, Uniqua is optimistic, Tyrone is a realist, Pablo is apathetic, and Austin is conflicted.



Pablo is a blue penguin. He is ''very'' energetic (even moreso than Uniqua) and easily excited. However, he is also very neurotic and tends to have panic attacks. He is the secondary protagonist of the series.

*JerkWithaHeartOfGold: {{Downplayed|Trope}} Tasha is a nice girl, but she's a my-way-or-the-highway- kind of hippo who can be pretty bossy. Still, she can also be just as giggly and playful as any of her backyard friends.
* NiceGirl: She becomes less strong-minded in the later seasons.

The two tropes only apply if the main cast were based off of another work. And trope slashing is not allowed.

The Chick is no longer a trope. But this description doesn’t even fit The Heart or any of it’s other tropes listed in the index. So commenting it out for now


* TheChick: Often Tasha plays the role of the character who kicks off the plot, but does not necessarily drive it. Lady Tasha in "Whodunit" is a good example as while she did invite everyone to Mystery Manor, Pablo was the one the episode focused on.

** "It's Great to Be a Ghost!": Is forced into the ghost game against his will, and gets the crap scared out if him the entire time. Did I mention that [[WithFriendsLikeThese Pablo and Uniqua KNEW he was scared and yet made him do it anyway?]] [[spoiler: He does get the last laugh on both them and Tasha when he disguises himself as a BedsheetGhost and uses it to scare all of them]].

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry. Also indentation issues.


* AmbiguousDisorder: In the first season, Pablo has regular panic attacks, indicating he may have some kind of anxiety disorder. Thankfully, he gets better as the show goes on.

* ButtMonkey: Poor, poor Tyrone. Shall we count the instances?
** "The Yeti": Gets roped into the girls' frozen north trek and has to play peacemaker between them the whole darn episode.
** "It's Great to Be a Ghost!": Is forced into the ghost game against his will, and gets the crap scared out if him the entire time. Did I mention that [[WithFriendsLikeThese Pablo and Uniqua KNEW he was scared and yet made him do it anyway?]] [[spoiler: He does get the last laugh on both them and Tasha when he disguises himself as a BedsheetGhost and uses it to scare all of them]].
** "Monster Detectives": Has to put up with Uniqua being TooDumbToLive, only to [[spoiler:lose her to the Soccer Monster.]]
** "Special Delivery": Spends the entire episode scared out of his mind because he thinks the bikers were trying to tamper with the mail, which could very well get him ''fired''.
** "International Super Spy": Has to put up with the Lady in Pink's bossiness.
** "Sinbad Sails Alone": Forced to put up with Pablo's antics.
** "Best Clowns in Town": Forced to put up with three clowns' antics, and just like in "It's Great to Be a Ghost!", they ''know'' they're bothering him. He ends up screaming "CLOWNS!" repeatedly throughout the episode whenever he gets really mad at them.
** "Who Goes There?": Forced to put up with the others' antics yet again, and this time he risks getting fired from the job he ''just got''.
** "To the Center of the Earth", quite possibly the worst 'The writers hate Tyrone' episode. Loses his lucky penny, which he treasures, and forced to go on a ridiculously dragged-out mission to get it back. And each time they lose the penny again, he points out that he could have just ''walked over and picked it up'', and everytime he gets ignored.
** "Match on Mt. Olympus": Becomes a CosmicPlaything to the gods/goddesses.
** "Escape from Fairytale Village": Spends the entire episode running for his life because he thinks everyone wants to ''eat him''.
** "Robot Rampage": First he gets grabbed by an out-of-control robot who's driving like a maniac. Once the robot drops him, he feels sick and dizzy. After that, he has to [[ItMakesSenseInContext dress like a robot]], which involves wearing roller skates. He can't skate for the life of him.
