Line #143 Characters/TexAveryMGMCartoons


1	!!WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}}
2
3	A tiny, very modest Basset Hound that was apparently a master of OffscreenTeleportation and TheCatCameBack, capable of great strength when roused to anger. Is quite a good samaritan, constantly doing good deeds, especially when it comes to catching criminal wolves. His voice sounds similar to that of H.G. Wells of all people. Possibly his best short is Northwest Hounded Police. Droopy cartoons continued to be made after Tex's departure from MGM, with Michael Lah as director, And Droopy himself became a CanonImmigrant, having made numurous appearances -sometimes along with his co-stars- in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' works ever since.

8
9	An insane squirrel that often picked on his antagonists for no reason other than because it was funny. His series was short lived because [[CreatorsPest Avery never cared for the character much. There are stories of Tex's automatically throwing fan letters depicting Screwy Squirrel into the trash]].
10
11	* AdaptationalNameChange: He's called Screwball Squirrel in ''WesternAnimation/DroopyMasterDetective''.
12	* GoofyBuckteeth: He is a wacky trickster squirrel who naturally has buckteeth.
13	* KilledOffForReal: He met his match with Lonesome Lenny in his final short of the same name, though, in which he was presumably crushed to death by the ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen''-inspired dog.
14	* TheMadHatter: He's not afraid of admitting he's crazy.
15	* ThePrankster: A merciless variety who starts playing pranks on others for no good reason.
16
17	!!Wolfie [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolfie.JPG]]
18
19	->'''Voiced by''': Bill Thompson (Blitz Wolf), Kent Rogers (Red Hot Riding Hood, One Ham's Family), Frank Graham (40s shorts), Patrick [=McGeehan=] (The Screwy Truant), Daws Butler (50s shorts), Creator/FrankWelker (Tom and Jerry Comedy Show, Tom and Jerry Kids, Droopy Master Detective), Creator/JohnDiMaggio and Richard [=McGonagle=] (Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse), Creator/StephenStanton (Tom and Jerry Show 2014)
20
21	Wolfie made his debut in "Blitz Wolf" as an Adolf Hitler caricature, but it was in ''"WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood"'' that he became the womanizer with off-the-wall wild takes he was famous for being. Red herself was based on pin-up girls of the 1940's, and often would sing and perform in her appearances. Both characters frequently co-starred in cartoons with Droopy, with Wolfie usually being the antagonist. In cartoons of The '50s, he was replaced by a country bumpkin wolf who speaks with a Southern accent. In those cartoons with Droopy, he was still usually the antagonist, but without Droopy, he was a protagonist instead.
22
23	* AntiVillain: When he simply represents lustful men. When against Droopy or the three pigs, he's quite villanous.
24	* BeardOfEvil: As Paisley-Beard [=McWolf=] the Pirate in "Yo Ho Ho... Bub".
25	* BigBad: To Droopy in both ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryComedyShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids''.
26	* CartoonishSupervillainy: Most of his plots come out as this.
27	* EyePop: If he was ever in a room with Red, you can expect this kind of reaction from him.
28	* FangsAreEvil: Mostly averted, but there are instances of this trope in some episodes.
29	** Zig-zagged in "Dakota Droopy and the Lost Dutch Boy Mine". In some scenes, he is shown to have fangs, but in other scenes he doesn't seem to have fangs at all. Sometimes, within one scene, he will alternate between fangs and normal teeth. Whether this is OffModel or not is highly unknown.
30	** Subverted in "Foreign Legion Frenzy". While he is shown to have fangs in the WantedPoster, he does not wear any throughout the rest of the episode.
31	* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Was always fully dressed.
32	* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Wears one in the beginning of "Fear of Flying".
33	* IconicOutfit: Despite wearing a wide variety of outfits in different episodes, his most recurring outfit is a blue shirt, black vest, and brown/red pants in Tom and Jerry Kids.
34	* NoNameGiven: But in the 80s shorts he's called Slick and in the 90s he's called [=McWolf=].
35	* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Most of the time, whenever Miss Red or another main human character is not present.
36	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: At the end of "Red Hot Riding Hood", he commits suicide, and yet came back alive in his next cartoon.

38	* VillainProtagonist: Had the starring role in most of his shorts.
39	* WildTake: The TropeCodifier.
40	* WolfWhistle: The TropeCodifier. He would let out two-note glissando out of lust upon seeing beautiful women like Red.

43

45
46	* AdaptationalCurves: Who would've thought the ''Little Red Riding Hood'' would look this good?
47	* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Later appearances in [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryDirectToVideoFilmSeries Tom & Jerry's Direct-to-Video films]] give her a more innocent and lady-like personality, while still keeping her as MsFanservice.
48	* AlienPrincess: She assumes the role of a space princess in the episode ''Deep Space Droopy''. Likewise, in the episode ''Conquest of the Planet Irwin'', she is the queen of the titular planet.
49	* BedlahBabe: As Princess Scheherazade in "Trés Sheik Poodles".
50	* TheCameo: In ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot''.
51	* TheChanteuse: Plays this type of role in all of her original shorts.
52	* DamselInDistress: Every so often.
53	* GlamorousWartimeSinger: Red was based on these. In "The Shooting of [=DanMcGoo",=] she does sing a song with a wartime theme.
54	* HeadAndHipPose: Red makes this pose often, like in her page image.
55	* HeadTurningBeauty: Whenever she was in a room, all men would immediately notice her (especially Wolfie).
56	* HotterAndSexier: Very much so when compared to the usual little girl type character that plays Little Red Riding Hood.
57	* InterspeciesRomance: Sometimes with Droopy Dog.
58	* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Very much so.
59	* LadyInRed: Her outfit may vary depending on the short, but she'll most likely be seen wearing red, such as her red {{Burlesque}} she debuted in.
60	* MsFanservice: The trope codifier.
61	* NoNameGiven: The eponymous Red Hot Riding Hood wasn't given a real name in any of her theatrical appearances, but most fans generally refer to her as "Red." Her later appearances in the WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry DTV-features ultimately made "Red" her official name.
62	* ParentService: Clearly meant to entertain adults as much as kids.
63	* RedRidingHoodReplica: Based off the original tale, but much HotterAndSexier.
64	* SexyBacklessOutfit: This is her normal attire in most of her original MGM shorts.
65	* ShoutOut: In her original short, she speaks in a Creator/KatharineHepburn-like voice. Another short has her speak like Creator/MaeWest, and another like Creator/BetteDavis.
66	* TheTease: All of her musical numbers have her dancing as provocatively as possible while wearing sexy clothes and singing songs about wanting arms wrapped around her.
67
68	!!Spike/Butch [[quoteright:346:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/butch8.JPG]]

71
72	Originally named Spike, he had his name changed in order to avoid confusion with a bulldog from another MGM cartoon series with the same name. He would often be the antagonist to Droopy, though he also starred in his own shorts as well. He was often tormented by a Small, Annoying Creature with a prankster attitude in his solo shorts. Appearances of note include "Rock-A-Bye Bear," "Magical Maestro," "Millionaire Droopy," and "Cock-a-Doodle Dog."
73
74	%%* BullyBulldog
75	* CheatersNeverProsper: Pretty much ''any'' attempt to play dirty against Droopy only led to slapstick.
76	* IronButtMonkey: One of Tex Avery's most recurrent subjects for surreal AmusingInjuries.
77	* LaserGuidedKarma: All his attempts to cheat Droopy failed miserably. He did sometimes win against other more malicious opponents however. "Rock-a-Bye-Bear" and "Cock-A-Doodle-Dog" have Butch get the last laugh when his foes torment him first.
78	* {{Oireland}}: When he speaks, it's usually with an Irish brogue.
79	* TheRival: To Droopy in many of his shorts.

85	George and Junior: The pair from Of Mice & Men reincarnated as bears. George has a plan, Junior is an idiot, and usually gets a kick in the pants he wasn't wearing for his bungling.
86

88	%%* BearyFunny

92	** Junior: "I done a bad thing."; "I'm bend over, George."
93	* TheDitz: Very much so with Junior.
94	* KilledOffForReal: At the end of their final cartoon, "Half-Pint Pygmy", [[SuicideAsComedy both commit suicide]].
95	* LiteralAssKicking: George's preferred method of punishing Junior.
96	* ShoutOut: Based off of George and Lennie from ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen''.

113	* CatchPhrase: Uses “man alive” to mean surprise.
114	* MellowFellow: Following his very hammy introduction in "Three Little Pups", he drops the stage-villain theatrics and makes a hard shift into the laid-back GoodOlBoy personality that he'd retain for the rest of his appearances.
115	* SouthernGentleman: Daws Butler uses the voice he would later give Huckleberry Hound.
116	* TheStoic: Barely reacts to all the injuries he suffers, even a ''guided missile to the butt''.
117	* VerbalTic:
118	** Has a habit of ending sentences with "man".

126
127	* BadassAdorable: Despite being quite small and adorable, he can surely kick some butt.
128	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's generally a good-natured little guy, but he does NOT take kindly to those who mess with his father. He's given Wolfie and other villains quite a beatdown if they give Droopy a hard time.
