3 | [[folder: Noel and Friends]] |
4 | ! Noel |
5 | The star of the show. An eccentric artist. |
6 | |
7 | * AdamWesting: Though given that it's Noel Fielding, there's no telling how much is an exaggeration. |
8 | * AmicableExes: Noel and Dolly used to date. Now, despite their near-constant bickering, they seem to have no problem staying friends. |
9 | * BelligerentSexualTension: Noel's feud with King Tutta the mountain has shades of this. Throughout the episode a distant mountain keeps tutting and looking disgusted every time Noel makes a joke. Noel retaliates by scorching the mountain's cheek with a hot teaspoon, but later realises he was actually tutting because he was performing a capella with some other mountains, at which point Noel apologises and admits to being "slightly in love" with King Tutta. |
10 | * BetterAsFriends: Noel and Dolly have zero sexual tension despite having once dated. Noel gets a bit irritated whenever Dolly mentions men she dated behind Noel's back when they were together, though. |
11 | * BerserkButton: Don't tell him how to barbecue. |
12 | * BishieSparkle: Noel wears glitter on his cheeks throughout the final episode and he's as close to a real life Bishonen as you can get. |
13 | * ChildhoodFriends: Noel and Dolly have known each other since they were four years old, according to a deleted scene shown in the Making Of documentary on the series one DVD. |
14 | * TheDandy: Noel wears the most extravagant outfits known to humanity. |
15 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Being a talking animal or an object doesn't stop Noel from being attracted to someone. |
16 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Smooth's blue. |
17 | |
18 | ! Smooth |
19 | Noel's butler and the OnlySaneMan. |
20 | |
21 | * CivilizedAnimal: The only main character who acts sensible. |
22 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Smooth is "mixed race" as in, his father is human and his mother is an anteater. |
23 | * MixAndMatchCritter: Half-human, half anteater. |
24 | * OnlySaneMan: He's still pretty damn weird, but he's as close to normal as you can get in this show. |
25 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Noel's red. |
26 | * ServileSnarker: Is often the voice of reason to Noel, despite being part anteater. |
27 | |
28 | ! Andy Warhol |
29 | Noel's housekeeper and possibly a robot. |
30 | |
31 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: His robotic voice and movements, along with dispensing tickets when he laughs make it unlikely. |
32 | * AttractiveBentGender: Apparently Andy Warhol is this when he masquerades as Frida Kahlo. Although it's plainly just Andy in drag, Smooth still seems to fancy him. |
33 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Has very little in common with the real Andy Warhol. |
34 | * MachineMonotone: Especially pronounced when he laughs. |
35 | * SignatureLaugh: When Andy Warhol laughs, a string of "individual laughter sheets, strung together like theatre tickets or sausages" comes from his mouth. |
36 | |
37 | ! Dolly |
38 | Noel's best friend. A model and concept artist. |
39 | |
40 | * AmicableExes: Noel and Dolly used to date. Now, despite their near-constant bickering, they seem to have no problem staying friends. |
41 | * BetterAsFriends: Noel and Dolly have zero sexual tension despite having once dated. Noel gets a bit irritated whenever Dolly mentions men she dated behind Noel's back when they were together, though. |
42 | * ChildhoodFriends: Noel and Dolly have known each other since they were four years old, according to a deleted scene shown in the Making Of documentary on the series one DVD. |
43 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Inanimate objects "really turn her on right now." |
44 | * TheFashionista: Loves clothing. |
45 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Supposedly has many jobs (model, DJ, knitwear designer) but we never see her doing any of them. |
46 | * ReallyGetsAround: Dolly has dated most of the cast. Several of them while she was still dating Noel. |
47 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Dolly is pretty much the only recurring female in the universe. |
48 | * UnexplainedAccent: Despite allegedly being Noel's friend since childhood, Dolly has a thick German accent. This is hardly the weirdest thing about the show. |
49 | |
50 | [[/folder]] |
51 | |
52 | [[folder: Noel's Neighbours]] |
53 | ! Secret Peter |
54 | Noel's brain-damaged landlord. |
55 | |
56 | * AnimateInanimateObject: Appears to be a purple rock. |
57 | * DomesticAbuse: Secret Peter beats his wife. Played for laughs as she's a non-anthropomorphic peanut. |
58 | |
59 | ! Tony Reason |
60 | A manta ray that's also a music producer. |
61 | |
62 | * AssShove: Apparently Tony Reason's method of familiarising himself with a new work colleague is to insert his finger into that person's anus. That said, Tony doesn't even have fingers, so Lord knows how he manages it. |
63 | * CivilizedAnimal: Acts very calm. |
64 | * TalkingAnimal: It turns out most marine life can talk, as seen when he argues with a hammerhead shark. |
65 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: Tofu. |
66 | |
67 | ! Todd Laguna |
68 | A hammerhead shark. |
69 | |
70 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates tofu. |
71 | * VitriolicBestBuds: He and Tony tend to disagree on a lot of things, but don't seem to have any particular beef with each other. |
72 | |
73 | ! Jeremy Beautiful Chest |
74 | A dancer with a large heart on his chest. |
75 | |
76 | * CuteMute: Does not speak and has angelic features. |
77 | * TheDandy: Wears puffy sleeves and leather pants. |
78 | * TheVoiceless: His only purpose is to dance. |
79 | |

89 | * {{Faceship}}: After getting hauled off by the police, Fantasy Man uses [[IRejectYourReality his fantasy power]] to evision himself and Big Chief flying away in a hot air balloon shaped like Fantasy Man's head. |

92 | * WindmillCrusader: Has gone on quests such as kidnapping a cat that he believed was "The Dream Tiger" (whack). |

108 | * BigEater: Regularly stops for a snack while apprehending criminals. |
109 | * BigNO: Boombox has one when he lets his nemesis Count Ziggenpuss escape. |
110 | * BodyHorror: His talking knife wound. |
111 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: All the other characters just know him as "New York Cop". |
112 | * {{Expy}}: He's essentially [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] if he was a cop. |
113 | * PoliceAreUseless: His anecdotes usually end with him failing spectacularly. |
114 | |
115 | ! Roy Circles |
116 | A chocolate finger that works as a P.E. teacher and suffers PTSD. |
117 | |
118 | * AnimateInanimateObject: "Animate" being used loosely here, as his movements are limited to his face and arms. |
119 | * AnthropomorphicFood: He's got chocolate knees. |
120 | * HesitantSacrifice: He's fully prepared to sacrifice himself to a volcano if it means reuniting with his dead wife, except there's a sports day on tomorrow. |

122 | |
123 | ! Daddy Push |
124 | A man with a giant shell for a head. |
125 | |
126 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: The shell could just be an accessory, except the eyes are out of place. |
127 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Does not appear in Series 2. |
128 | * FishPeople: Or "aquatic invertebrate people". |
129 | * TheVoiceless: He expresses himself with his arms. |

154 | A lion trapped in a zoo. |
155 | |
156 | * BackFromTheDead: Having been run over by several vehicles in episode 6, he shows up alive and unharmed in episode 7. It's implied that this is because he's a figment of Noel's imagination. |

159 | * TalkingAnimal: A babbling lion. |

164 | * AmazingTechnicolourPopulation: Dark purple. |

166 | * LaughingMad: The only time he doesn't laugh is when he's singing. |
167 | * MonsterClown: He actually appears to be quite friendly, despite being borderline incomprehensible and utterly horrific to look at. |
168 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Doo Rag's blue. |
169 | |
170 | ! Doo Rag |
171 | A man with a zen voice who feeds the Audience mashed potatoes. He's also a doctor. |

188 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: He seemed like he was going to be a regular character, but he died at the end of the second episode. |
189 | * {{Fanboy}}: Absolutely psyched to be in the second series, to the point where he'd take a meteor to save it. |
190 | * SelfDeprecation: Created as a response to the lukewarm reviews the first series received. |
191 | |
192 | [[/folder]] |
193 | |
194 | |

196 | ! Ghost of a Flea |
197 | William Blake's creation come to life. |
198 | |
199 | * BizarreAlienBiology: He has a prehensile tongue, a power cord for a tail and lightbulbs in his spine. |
200 | * VocalDissonance: He normally has a nigh-pitched voice that's barely intelligible, but can switch to a contralto tone when he's singing. |
201 | |
202 | ! Little Chrissy, Claw, Spoon Snake & [=McCoy=] |
203 | A travelling group on a quest to see the Jelly Fox. |
204 | |
205 | * AmazingTechnicolourPopulation: Should come as no surprise, since they live "over the rainbow". |
206 | * CartoonCreature: [=McCoy=] might be a sea urchin, but the character designs are too loose to confirm. |
207 | * {{Catchphrase}}: Spoon Snake can only say ''"Am IIIIIIIII nothing?"''. |
208 | * CatFolk: Little Chrissy. |
209 | * ColorCodedCharacters: |
210 | ** Little Chrissy is red, the leader and has a history of bloodshed. |
211 | ** Claw is blue and passive. |
212 | ** Spoon Snake is green and as the only character with a secondary colour, acts a little out there. |
213 | ** [=McCoy=] is yellow and unruly. |
214 | * {{Expy}}: Of the protagonists from ''The Wizard of Oz''. |
215 | * InformedAttribute: [=McCoy=] apparently has diabetes (not that it stops him from enjoying a soda with the other three despite Little Chrissy saying he can't because of it) and is apparently racist. |
216 | * TinMan: Little Chrissy is an inversion. Instead of having a hidden heart of gold, he's a serial killer who wants to forget about his past. |
217 | * VerbalTic: Claw goes "Hm-hmmm" and [=McCoy=] makes crunching sounds. |
218 | |
219 | ! King Tutta |
220 | A mountain that keeps clucking his tongue to the annoyance of Noel. |
221 | |
222 | * ArchEnemy: Noel considers him one. |
223 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Noel takes his tongue-clucking too personally and rubs a hot teaspoon on his face, leaving a red mark. |
224 | |
225 | ! Ian Guage |
226 | A French-sounding lounge singer and tennis player. |
227 | |
228 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: Has pastries stuck on his face and when his head explodes, it's immediately replaced with a chrome sphere. |
229 | * AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: His words don't translate to anything. |
230 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Of Jacques Brel. |
231 | * YourHeadASplode: His musical advances towards a piece of toast are rejected so many times he eventually explodes with the heartbreak. |
232 | |
233 | ! The Tiger with Chlamydia |
234 | A giant tiger-head on legs that gives chlamydiya by striking people with his prehensile penis. |
235 | |
236 | * IncomingHam: THE TIGER WITH CHLAMYDIYA! DUM DUM DUUUUMMMMM! |
237 | * {{Kaiju}}: As tall as a skyscraper. |
238 | |
239 | ! Paul Panfer |
240 | A Hawaiian panther-man and film star. |
241 | |
242 | * CatFolk: Has the head of a panther, among other things. |
243 | * CharacterShilling: His movies have two hand puppets talking about how cool he is and nothing else. |
244 | * MixAndMatchCreature: On top of being a panther-man, he's also got breasts, blue skin and multiple eyes. |
245 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's explicitly compared to Elvis Presley. |
246 | * SurferDude: Always seen surfing. He even uses his surfboard as a weapon against Magnum P.I. |
247 | |
248 | ! Fantasy Block |
249 | A giant that stifles Noel's creativity. |
250 | |
251 | * ArcVillain: Of the second episode in Series 2. |
252 | * FatBastard: He looks like the Michelin Man and tears down ideas. |
253 | * KnightOfCerebus: Since the entire series relies on Noel's imagination, Fantasy Block's presence poses a serious threat. |
254 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Getting Terry Gilliam's shit on his skin makes him explode. |
255 | |
256 | ! Reality Man |
257 | A television executive that wants to turn Luxury Comedy into a reality series. |
258 | |
259 | * ArcVillain: Of the third episode in Series 2. |
260 | * EvilCounterpart: To Fantasy Man. He even has the chin-cup. |
261 | * ExecutiveMeddling: In-universe. |
262 | * FantasticRacism: He vandalises the wardrobe to Narnia in a manner reminiscent of xenophobic harassment. |
263 | * {{Jerkass}}: Calls Noel "Fantasy Dick". |
264 | * KnightOfCerebus: Along with Fantasy Block, he's a serious threat to the fantastical elements of the series. Taking it up a notch in that he was able to curb-stomp Fantasy Man and Big Chief with no effort. |
265 | * SelfDeprecation: He enjoys watching panel shows with celebrities talking about current events in an irreverent manner. Sounds like ''Series/NeverMindTheBuzzcocks'', of which Noel Fielding is a regular panelist. |
266 | * TakeThat: Towards reality tv shows, ''Big Brother'' in particular. |
267 | |
268 | ! The Cucumbers of Cool |
269 | An alien race of cucumber people that inspired the definition of the word "cool". |
270 | |
271 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Fantasy Block and Reality Man. Instead of representing the death of creativity, they're just run-of-the-mill villains that are defeated by reasoning. |
272 | * CoolTeacher: One of the cucumbers wants to be a teacher, though his coolness is debatable. |
273 | * CursedWithAwesome: As a result of being obsessed with trendiness, none of their race has the skill set needed to advance their civilisation. |
274 | * InformedAttribute: Despite being the harbingers of cool, they act incredibly dorky. |
275 | * PlantPerson: Overlapping with AnthropomorphicFood. |
