| 21 | Kenneth Williams appeared in 26 films of the film series, being the most frequent actor of the bunch. He mostly portrayed main characters of higher authority, mostly characters that were heavily in charge of a business or had higher achievements that many other major characters never had or could get (a high rank in the ArmedFarces, for example). |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Lots of his characters are quite slimy and smarmy, as well as very arrogant and smug. They also had nasal DeadpanSnarker voices and had haughty and proud body language. This demeanor was probably why many [[JerkassWoobie embarrassing things happened to his characters]] (commonly through ComedicUnderwearExposure). |
| 24 | |
| 25 | [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim Strange to some]], he was usually the affection of Hattie Jacques' characters, who usually tried to make a pass on him in the hospital-based films. He would either give in or try to get away from her. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * ActualPacifist: Not many liked to start fights or get involved in one. CPT Fearless orders his men to steer around enemy boats and Camembert doesn't try to defend himself when Darcy and Pommfrit try to attack him. |
| 28 | * AmbiguouslyGay[=/=]CampStraight: Many of his roles were this, possibly because Williams was gay in real life. This comes into play when women flirt with him and he would try and pull himself away swiftly. |
| 29 | ** Also the implications that many of characters were not married. |
| 30 | --->'''Queen Marie:''' But how would you feel if your wife didn't give you what you wanted?\ |
| 31 | '''[[Film/CarryOnHenry Thomas Cromwell]]:''' I am not married, ma'am. |
| 32 | ** His characters are always at the affections of Hattie Jacques' characters, that usually come on too strongly. |
| 33 | --->'''Miss Haggerd:''' Can't you see? I've got so much appeal!\ |
| 34 | '''[[Film/CarryOnCamping Dr Soaper]]:''' Yes, and so's a banana, but I don't even want that! |
| 35 | ** When Sir Bernard [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything sprays a foamy fire extinguisher in Dr Goode's face]]... yeah... |
| 36 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: [[FrankensteinsMonster As the electrically-powered]] [[Film/CarryOnScreaming Orlando Watt.]] |
| 37 | * AssholeVictim[=/=]AlasPoorVillain: Due to his characters' repulsiveness, many of them are hard to feel sorry for when things go wrong for them. |
| 38 | * BigBad: [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber Khasi of Khalabar]]. |
| 39 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Typical of some of his characters. |
| 40 | * {{Brownface}}: As [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber the Khasi of Khalabar]]. |
| 41 | * BumblingSidekick: As [[Film/CarryOnHenry Thomas Cromwell]] and as other characters who are second-in-command to another. |
| 42 | * ButtMonkey: When up against Sid James' characters. |
| 43 | * {{Camp}}: Some of his roles played up to this a lot, even though the character [[OutOfCharacterMoment had no reason to be this]]. |
| 44 | * CatchPhrase: Williams had several that spanned through the series; the notable one being "Ooh, Matron!" from [[Film/CarryOnCamping Dr Soaper]] and other films. |
| 45 | ** There was also [[Film/CarryOnMatron Sir Bernard]]'s "Stop messin' about!" which was Williams' catchphrase from a radio show he used to do before the films. |
| 46 | ** Variations of "frying tonight", whether being quoted like this or just put in a sentence (such as [[Film/CarryOnSpying Agent Simpkins]]' "looks like we won't be frying tonight, boys!") |
| 47 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: His early roles were rather strait-laced, pompous intellectuals; he then sometimes played his snide character: quite slimy and smarmy with a distinctive nasal voice. Later the haughty, proud and easily outraged elitist became more frequent and his best known character type. |
| 48 | * ComedicUnderwearExposure: Someone get his characters a belt! |
| 49 | ** [[Film/CarryOnConstable CST Stanley]]'s trousers fall down on one of his rounds around the neighbourhood. |
| 50 | ** [[Film/CarryOnLoving Percival]]'s smitten housekeeper pulls his trousers down accidentally when she's trying to embrace him, just as Sophie walks into the room. |
| 51 | ** When [[Film/CarryOnCruising Marjoribanks]]' tight PaintedOnPants split when he bends over. |
| 52 | ** Desiree Dubary rushes over to him in a smitten panic during his Russian Roulette and rips [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Camembert]]'s trousers down when she tries to hug him. |
| 53 | ** If you look closely, [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Burke]] has suspenders hanging over his shoulders on the outside of his waistcoat in one scene, but they're not clipped onto his trousers. You're surprised to find that this trope doesn't happen in the movie. |
| 54 | * DeadpanSnarker: Mostly towards other characters he's superior to (or so he thinks). An example is this from ''Carry On Henry'': |
| 55 | -->'''Cardinal Wolsey:''' ''[about Queen Marie's refusal to come to the dinner table]'' Perhaps I should go and see her... ''[coughs]'' ... tell her to come down, I mean.\ |
| 56 | '''Thomas Cromwell:''' Any talk from ''you'' would bring anybody down. |
| 57 | * EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: |
| 58 | ** Back in school, [[Film/CarryOnScreaming Dr Watt]] was friends with Dracula, and was bullied by Dr Jekyll and Dr Frankenstein. |
| 59 | ** [[Film/FollowThatCamel Burger]] and Lady Jane went to the same European university, which led to Jane's accident, making Burger join the army in shame. |
| 60 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: When [[Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor Dr Carver]] comes back from his trip to the Beatific Islands, he has noticeable stubble on his chin. Considering how you never see Williams' characters like this ([[Film/CarryOnCowboy Judge Burke]]'s moustache doesn't count), it's rather distracting. |
| 61 | * FanDisservice: There were many comedic shots of his bare behind that are played up as this. Doubles as NakedPeopleAreFunny. |
| 62 | * {{Foil}}: Charles Hawtrey and Peter Butterworth this to him, while ''he'' is this to Sid James. |
| 63 | * FunnyForeigner: A mild one when he was [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber the Khasi of Khalabar]]. |
| 64 | * GeneralFailure: [[Film/CarryOnCleo Julius Caesar]]. If you know the history of the Roman emperor, it wouldn't comes as a surprise. |
| 65 | * HeroAntagonist: Usually, especially when Sid James' character was the leading man. |
| 66 | * HenpeckedHusband: Julius Caesar towards Calpurnia, although her flirtaious attempts to make him agree to make love with her fail miserably. |
| 67 | * HighClassGlass: [[Film/FollowThatCamel CMDNT Burger]] wears a monacle, reflecting his implied wealth, considering that he went to the same university as the aristocratic Lady Jane. |
| 68 | * {{Hypochondriac}}: [[Film/CarryOnMatron Sir Bernard]] was the first to believe a rumour that there was a disease spreading around and that he's probably caught it. |
| 69 | * IcyBlueEyes: When his character's looking down at people he can't stand. |
| 70 | * IdiotHero: Is mostly this when he's up against a Sid James' villain. |
| 71 | ** Definitely played straight with [[Film/CarryOnSpying agent Simpkins]], who's so self-centred and obnoxiously dim-witted, it might make you root for the villains or pray that one of his students will step in. |
| 72 | * KavorkaMan[=/=]ChickMagnet: In many roles. |
| 73 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Especially if he's going after a Sid James character, who constantly outwits him. He mostly does this when he's trying to suck up to someone superior. |
| 74 | * LargeHam: Theatrical, melodramatic and delightfully over-the-top. |
| 75 | %%* TheLeader |
| 76 | * LovableCoward: [[Film/CarryOnCleo Caesar]], who couldn't fight to save his life and willingly threw his guards into it. |
| 77 | * MadScientist: [[Film/CarryOnScreaming Orlando Watt]] intended to harbor all of the technology (and human remains) in order to resurrect a mummified corpse. [[spoiler:[[HoistByHisOwnPetard It backfires horribly.]]]] |
| 78 | * NeverMyFault: Rarely has moments of regret and/or admitting defeat. |
| 79 | ** [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Camembert]] will always blame Bidet whenever Robespierre called him out on his idiocy. |
| 80 | ** [[Film/CarryOnDick CPT Fancey]] will never admit that his plans have failed and always blames Jock. |
| 81 | * ObliviousToLove: Had the ability to be the affections of two private women, and could not recognise the subtext of their bickering, or their sudden change in body language and attitude whenever they were alone together. |
| 82 | * {{Omniglot}}: [[Film/CarryOnRegardless Francis]], who speaks at least a few words of every language given to him. |
| 83 | * PermaShave: Even when out in the middle of nowhere with no food and toiletries, none of his characters grow facial hair. |
| 84 | * PoliceAreUseless: [[Film/CarryOnConstable CST Stanley]] and other constables help a gang of robbers steal a car. |
| 85 | * PornStache: [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Judge Burke]] had the closest thing to one. |
| 86 | * {{Pride}}: A large problem with many of Williams' characters were because of this. They were mostly so full of themselves and their greatness that they were easily outwitted. |
| 87 | * ReactionShot: If someone said anything with innuendo in it, or just anything unexpected, there would be a cut to a close-up Williams' face of him either looking appalled or worried. |
| 88 | * SkewedPriorities: |
| 89 | ** [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Judge Burke]] is kidnapped by the Rumpo Kid's gang and ridden on horseback to their lair, but is much more annoyed that they ordered him out of his bed and didn't allow him to change into something comfortable. |
| 90 | --->'''Judge Burke:''' ''[after being asked how he was]'' You obviously have never been ordered out of your bed at gunpoint and not being allowed to put your SLIPPERS ON!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW PAINFUL IT IS TO RIDE A HORSE BAREFOOT?! IT HURTS!!! |
| 91 | ** As [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Camembert]], wounded soldiers collapse onto vases and tables in the grand mansion where their fight takes place with the Black Fingernail, and Camembert scolds them for damaging property as he sobs over the "irreplaceable" furniture. |
| 92 | * SimpletonVoice: Mostly when he portrayed the stupid [[Film/CarryOnSpying secret agent Desmond]]. |
| 93 | * SmallNameBigEgo: When he portrayed [[Film/CarryOnSergeant James]], who was an economics graduate that believes he should be treated better than everyone in the National Service. |
| 94 | * TheSmartGuy: Whether claimed, {{lampshaded}} or implied, or the closest thing that the characters have to one. |
| 95 | * SmugSuper[=/=]SmugSnake: Loads of his characters are this to others that work underneath them. In the hospital films in which he's the head doctor/surgeon, he takes a dislike to Jim Dale and Terry Scott's doctor characters and sometimes hold grudges over hiring them in the first place. |
| 96 | %%* SophisticatedAsHell |
| 97 | * StiffUpperLip: Most of his characters -- even the German [[Film/FollowThatCamel Burger]]. |
| 98 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Shows this demeanor quite a lot, but he was often [[IResembleThatRemark just as stupid.]] |
| 99 | * SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: When he was [[Film/CarryOnDick CPT Fancey]] and [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Camambert]]. |
| 100 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Often with Charles Hawtrey and Peter Butterworth's characters. |
| 101 | ** [[Film/CarryOnScreaming Dr Watt]] and his sister Valeria. |
| 102 | ** [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Judge Burke]] and Doc. |
| 103 | ** [[Film/CarryOnDontLoseYourHead Camembert]] and Bidet. |
| 104 | ** Dr Tinkle and the Matron. |
| 105 | ** CMNDT Burger and CPT le Pice. |
| 106 | * TooDumbToLive: [[Film/CarryOnDick Desmond Fancey]] was this nearing the end of the film. He became attracted to Dick and Tom's weak disguises as women, gets drunk on a few glasses of wine and cannot put two-and-two together over telling the priest of the local church about his plan and Dick Turpin knowing how to foil it, and how the women that arrived looked just the people he was after. |
| 107 | -->'''CPT Fancey:''' ''[realising]'' Oh, I know who that woman reminded me of!\ |
| 108 | '''Sir Roger:''' ''[grumpily]'' Who?!\ |
| 109 | '''CPT Fancey:''' The old rector! So similar, it could almost've been him! |
| 110 | * WaistcoatOfStyle: As [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Judge Burke]]. |

| 118 | |
| 119 | Joan Sims appears in 24 films in the series, making her the longest-serving female and the second longest-serving actor. She played a variety of character types in the series, ranging from friendly to aggressive to attractive. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | She's more likely to be married to a HenpeckedHusband like a Sid James or a Kenneth Williams, or be pawning after another man who may or may not show interest in her. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: A couple of roles, mostly towards Kenneth Williams' characters. |
| 124 | * AccentRelapse: As [[Film/CarryOnDick Madame Desiree]], she pretends to be French to fit with her showbiz life as a travelling entertainer, and sometimes drops the accent in anger or when she's caught. |
| 125 | * AllWomenAreLustful: As Lady Joan, [[Film/CarryOnCleo Calpurnia]], [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Desiree Dubarry]]. |
| 126 | * AllWomenArePrudes: As [[Film/CarryOnCamping Joan Fussey]]. |
| 127 | * ApronMatron: Mostly, as [[Film/CarryOnScreaming Emily]], who never sees her husband because of his long working hours. |
| 128 | * ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Most famously from [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Desiree Dubarry]] when the Black Fingernail crashes through her window. |
| 129 | -->'''The Black Fingernail:''' Don't start screaming! Please!!\ |
| 130 | '''Desiree Dubarry:''' Why? What're you gonna to do me?\ |
| 131 | '''The Black Fingernail:''' Well, nothing!\ |
| 132 | '''Desiree Dubarry:''' Well, that settles it. ''[screams]'' |
| 133 | * BigEater: As [[Film/CarryOnMatron Mrs Tidely]], who's expecting a three-week overdue baby and is in no real hurry to give birth because she sees her stay in the hospital as an excuse to gorge herself on a seemingly endless banquet of hospital food. |
| 134 | * CryingWolf: As [[Film/CarryOnMatron Mrs Tidely]]; her BigEater habit gives her chronic attacks of wind and indigestion, which end up being mistaken for the onset of her long-awaited labor. Invoked at one point when the doctors discuss the possibility of artificially inducing labor at last; she immediately feigns that she's felt her first contractions come on again in order to put them off the idea so that she can continue lounging around and stuffing her face. |
| 135 | * CuteClumsyGirl: As [[Film/CarryOnNurse Nurse Stella]]. |
| 136 | * DaddysGirl: As [[Film/CarryOnCleo Calpurnia]] to Seneca. Whenever her husband insults him, she immediately jumps in to defend him. |
| 137 | * DeadpanSnarker: When her character wasn't being ravished by her husband, or when her husband/lover was flirting with another woman. Usually if she's married to Sid James. |
| 138 | * {{Gasshole}}: |
| 139 | ** Played with as [[Film/CarryOnMatron Mrs Tidely]]; she only burps the one time in the film, but it's referenced in her first appearance that almost all of her apparent contractions in the last three weeks had turned out to be bouts of gas, when they weren't attacks of indigestion. Justified in that she's eating constantly; no wonder she's bloated and gassy. |
| 140 | ** As [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Desiree Dubarry]], one of her first dedicated jokes involves her loudly belching after drinking some champagne, much to the disgust of Citizen Camembert, which sets up for a DoubleEntendre about her bosom. |
| 141 | * GrandeDame: As [[Film/CarryOnUpTheJungle Lady Bagley]], [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Desiree]] and [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber Lady Joan]]. |
| 142 | * HugeGirlTinyGuy: The 5'5 [[Film/CarryOnMatron Mrs Tidely]] to her 5'2 husband. |
| 143 | * JackOfAllStats: The most versatile of the cast, she played a range of characters from jolly and assertive young women with sturdy moral standards to sexy and lusty matrons – either desired or coarse and unattractive, to a chatty glutton, a battleaxe wife and an unattractive spinster. |
| 144 | * LadyDrunk: In almost all of her appearances, bar as [[Film/CarryOnMatron Mrs Tidely]], for obvious reasons. |
| 145 | * LastNameBasis: [[Film/CarryOnMatron Mrs Tidely]] is only ever known by that name, although that makes sense given she's in a hospital and being something all of a difficult patient who treats the whole affair as a holiday cum free all-you-can-eat banquet. |
| 146 | * MamaBear: As [[Film/CarryOnDick Madame Desiree]], she is very protective of the women she travels around with and threatens all the drunk men in the bar on what she'll do to them if they try anything with the women. |
| 147 | * MissKitty: As [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Belle]], [[Film/FollowThatCamel [=ZigZig=]]] and [[Film/CarryOnGirls Connie]]. |

| 149 | * MyBelovedSmother: As [[Film/CarryOnBehind Daphne]], who goes on her daughter's caravan weekend with her husband. |
| 150 | * PunnyName: As [[Film/CarryOnCamping Joan Fussey]]. |
| 151 | * SexForServices: As [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber Lady Joan]], who tried to invoke this on the Khasi in exchange for secret information on the British Army. |
| 152 | * TragicallyDisabledLoveInterest: As the deaf [[Film/CarryOnDoctor Chloe]], who tries to invoke this with her orator partner Francis because he fears that he'll never meet another woman and/or marry if his condition becomes worse. |
| 153 | * VictoriasSecretCompartment |
| 154 | ** Lady Joan keeps a tiny gun in her cleavage. |
| 155 | ** Belle does this with a tiny pistol too. |

Goode]] and [[Film/CarryOnAbroad Eustace Tuttle]]. |
| 163 | |
| 164 | Charles Hawtrey appeared in 23 films and is the third longest-serving cast member in the series. He mostly played meek and ditzy characters that were mostly the reason of things going wrong, as well as womanizing lechers. Other characters were usually prissy and uptight, usually over a dislike of another character -- memorably, some of Jim Dale's. |
| 165 | |
| 166 | * TheAlcoholic: [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Big Heap]] (who snuck into the saloon in disguise in order to steal some alcohol), [[Film/CarryOnAtYourConvenience Charles Coote]] and [[Film/CarryOnAbroad Eustace Tuttle]]. It mostly echoed Hawtrey's life because of his severe alcoholism in the late-'60s, leading to being fired after ''Film/CarryOnAbroad''. |
| 167 | * AllMenArePerverts: Especially when his characters spot half-naked women walking past them. |
| 168 | * AmbiguouslyGay[=/=]CampStraight: All of his characters were like this, probably written as an allude to Hawtrey's own sexuality. |
| 169 | * BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: As [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Big Heap]]. |
| 170 | * {{Brownface}}: As [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Big Heap]]. |
| 171 | * BumblingSidekick: To some of Kenneth Williams' characters. |

| 173 | * TheCasanova: [[Film/DontLoseYourHead Duc de Pommfrit]] and [[Film/CarryOnHenry Sir Roger]]. |
| 174 | * CassandraTruth: Most of the things that some of his characters say aren't listened to by anyone else until the last minute. |
| 175 | * CatchPhrase: Hawtrey's {{camp}} "Oh, hello!", that the majority of his characters say. |
| 176 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Most of his roles being this, varying between seemingly having a genuine mental disorder and just being eccentric. |
| 177 | %%* ChekhovsGunman |
| 178 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Some of his stupid characters turn out to be able to handle themselves. A good example is [[Film/CarryOnDontLoseYourHead Duke de Pommfrit]], who tries to impress some younger aristocrats by claiming that the Black Fingernail didn't rescue him and that he fought the guards until they allowed him to leave; Camembert and Bidet, in earshot of the conversation, scoff at Prommfrit's stupidity, then in Chateau Neuf, Pommfrit kills about ten soldiers in a swordfight. |
| 179 | * DeadpanSnarker: He has some moments. [[Film/CarryOnCleo Seneca]] has one of the best moments out of them all, especially when Julius Caesar acts like an idiot or doesn't listen to him. |
| 180 | -->'''Seneca:''' ''[about Julius' unconscious body]'' I told him, told him, told him! "Beware the Ides of March" I said!\ |
| 181 | '''Calpurnia:''' It's not March.\ |
| 182 | '''Seneca:''' Well, you wouldn't expect an idiot like him to know that.\ |
| 183 | '''Calpunia:''' He looks a little wet.[[note]]"Wet" in this context means "weak" and "helpless"[[/note]]\ |
| 184 | '''Seneca:''' He looks a BIG wet, if you ask me. |
| 185 | %%* DelayedReaction |
| 186 | * DirtyOldMan: Often. This mostly led to him forcing himself on uninterested women, who soon discover he's [[SexGod actually quite satisfying]]. |
| 187 | * DisguisedInDrag: Most memorably [[Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor Dr Stoppidge]], pretending to be Lady Puddleton. |
| 188 | %%* TheDitz |
| 189 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: [[Film/CarryOnCabby Terry]], as a DriverOfABlackCab. |
| 190 | * DullSurprise: Often, due to his ditziness. |
| 191 | * {{Foil}}: To Kenneth Williams' characters, often to make Kenneth look like the smarter one. |
| 192 | * HeadphonesEqualIsolation: [[Film/CarryOnNurse Humphrey]], who listens to the radio 24/7 through headphones. |
| 193 | * IdiotHero: Sometimes, but believes that he is better than everyone else. |
| 194 | * InnocentInnuendo: His cuckoolander nature led him to some of this, oblivious to all of the shocked and concerned reactions around him. |
| 195 | * KavorkaMan: Hawtrey was no heartthrob or model-like attractive, but somehow had women either fawning over his characters or eventually sleeping with them. |
| 196 | * TheKlutz: His characters were often bumbling and accident prone, and the victim of various mishaps and complex misunderstandings. |
| 197 | * LovableCoward: [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber PVT Widdle]] is this because he never wanted to join the army and has no choice but to fight against the Indian soldiers. |
| 198 | * ManInAKilt: [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber PVT Widdle]]. |
| 199 | * TheKlutz: His characters either tripped a lot or dropped things. |

| 201 | ** [[Film/CarryOnAbroad Eustace Tuttle]], who is implied to be still living with his mother and is even escorted to the coach bus by her. |
| 202 | ** [[Film/CarryOnSpying Charlie Bind]] writes a letter to his mother when he is set to face some armed STENCH agents on the train home. |
| 203 | * NerdGlasses: Sometimes nicknamed "granny glasses", which all his characters wear. |
| 204 | * NotNowBernard: Mostly on the end of this. |
| 205 | * RepetitiveName: As [[Film/CarryOnScreaming Dan Dann]]. |
| 206 | * SexGod: |
| 207 | ** As [[Film/CarryOnHenry Sir Roger]], who is apparently so satisfying that Queen Marie willingly has more with him when Henry VIII disappears from the bedroom. |
| 208 | ** Invoked with [[Film/CarryOnUpTheJungle Walter Bagley]], who is the sperm donor of the Lubby-Dubby tribe. |

| 213 | * TookALevelInJerkass: If his characters loathed another with a passion, he might end up trying to get them fired or on the wrong side of a superior. |
| 214 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A common theme with many of Hawtrey's characters were that they disappeared out of the story either in the middle of it or just didn't get a satisfying conclusion like the rest of the characters. |
| 215 | ** [[Film/FollowThatCamel CPT le Pice]] is sent by Burger to get the reinforcements at the backup base while the rest of the army go back to the campsite [[spoiler:which he does -- saving the remainder of the team's asses by commanding the entire gang of reinforcements to save Burger and the rest. After that scene, the movie {{timeskip}}s to Bo West and Jane being married and Knocker eventually being promoted, and Burger is implied to have died on the battlefield, but there is no talk of le Pice and his bravery and how he came to their rescue. So, could he have died in battle too?]] |
| 216 | ** [[Film/CarryOnHenry Sir Roger de Lodgerley]] is tortured several times after his adulterous adventures with Queen Marie, which led to her pregnancy out of wedlock. After spending a month in an iron maiden, he gives in to signing Cromwell's contract, but not before having a drink of water first, which exposes a lot of InvisibleHoles in his body. He isn't seen in the movie after that, probably implying that he eventually died. [[SkewedPriorities If that's the case, at least Cromwell managed to get the contract signed by him before he officially kicked the bucket.]] |
| 217 | ** [[Film/CarryOnCowboy Big Heap]] is broken out of prison by the Rumpo Kid's gang but they are caught and banished to the woods by Marshall. Implied to have spent at least a week in a drunken coma with the group, he is eventually released by Rumpo and disappears out of the movie. That's fine, but [[spoiler:[[FridgeHorror has anyone told him that his son was killed in a failed bomb plot?]]]] |
| 218 | ** [[Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor Dr Ernest Stoppidge]] is forced to disguise as a female client in Nookey's slimming clinic to see what his secret formula is. [[spoiler:When he and Dr Carver eventually find the ointment, Carver forces Stoppidge to quickly some to work out the ingredients from its taste, just as Nookey and Screwer catch them in the office, making Stoppidge accidentally take a large gulp of it and seizure on the floor. A scream from the hallway distracts them all to the cries of several female patients with hairy faces and slight masculine features rushing around the building, making the group realise that the formula has made the consumers [[GenderBender change sexually]]. The final scene shows Nookey and Goldie leaving the local church happily married with Nookey pointing out that Goldie's kiss has probably given him stubble rash, implying that the hormone formula has left permanent effects on the consumer. However, Stoppidge is never seen after his seizure in Nookey's office. Did he have a slight hormonal change too, or did he completely change into a woman?]] |
| 219 | ** After staking out and spying on Sid for days, Sophie's hired PI [[Film/CarryOnLoving James Bedsop]] disappears out of the movie. [[spoiler:He doesn't show up for the forced wedding of Sophie and Sid, although considering what James had been doing for most of the movie, his absence is understandable.]] |
| 220 | ** The subplot of [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber PVT James Widdle]] learning how to be brave in his time in the army seems to disappear once the enemy arrive outside the governor's mansion. Does Widdle even survive the war? |

| 228 | |
| 229 | Sid James appeared in 19 films in the film series, being the fourth most-frequent regular in the main regular cast. He mostly played {{lovable rogue}}s and {{Antihero}}es that were either charmers or dirty old men. Sometimes, he played inspirational people such as father figures and men of high authority. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | %%* AFatherToHisMen: When he's CPT Crowther and SGT Wilkins. |
| 232 | * TheAlcoholic: Bill Boosey, who hides his alcoholism with a bottle of wine under a crate that he takes a swig from when he thinks no one is looking. |
| 233 | * AllMenArePerverts: His characters' common traits. |
| 234 | ** [[Film/CarryOnHenry Henry VIII]] has his fourth wife executed for not having as much sex with him as he wants, then he pawns after other women when his new wife becomes undesirable for him. |
| 235 | ** [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber Sir Sidney]] is sex-crazy, complaining about being interrupted because he hasn't been able to do it in ages (when invading Calcutta, he got to have sex twice a day), and doesn't show any sign of slowing down when he's ravished by members of the Khasi's harem. |
| 236 | ** [[Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor Gladstone]] and his harem of wives, all nicknamed after the day he schedules to have sex with them. |
| 237 | ** [[Film/CarryOnCamping Sid Boggle]], who tries to excuse a nudist camp for being liberating for all in order to hopefully convince girlfriend Joan to show him what she's got and most importantly have sex with her. She's not fooled. |
| 238 | * BadassInANiceSuit: When he's [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber Sir Sidney]] in the climax. He casually shoots an enemy soldier from a gun [[{{Hammerspace}} he got completely out of nowhere]], all while his hands were behind his back. |
| 239 | * BadassPreacher: [[Film/CarryOnDick Dick Turpin]] must count as this as the Rev Flasher, even though it's his alter ego. The final scene counts as this. |
| 240 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: Often his character's ideology when it comes to women. If the woman was single and "unattractive", then that ''obviously'' meant that they were evil, in his eyes, which gives him quite a shock when he finds out the female evil mastermind was young and attractive. Unsurprisingly, he falls for her. |
| 241 | * BreakoutCharacter: Sid was immediately a fan favourite after being a side character in ''Constable'' and soon became the leading man (or the deuteragonist) in all the movies after that. |
| 242 | * BrilliantButLazy: |
| 243 | ** As [[Film/CarryOnDoctor Charlie Roper]], who's faking a serious illness so he doesn't have to go home to his family and go back to work. The doctors [[TasteOfTheirOwnMedicine soon get him back]]. |
| 244 | ** As [[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber Sir Sidney]], who's only worried about the fate of the British Army when his secretary [[SkewedPriorities points out that it would be "the end of a cushy job" for him]]. |
| 245 | %%* TheCaptain: As [[Film/CarryOnCruising CPT Crowther]]. |
| 246 | * CatchPhrase: In a way, they sort of are. |
| 247 | ** "Cor, blimey!" |
| 248 | ** "A fat-lot of help [insert a pronoun here] is/are!" |
| 249 | ** "KNICKERS!!" |
| 250 | * TheCasanova: Most of his characters. [[Film/DontLoseYourHead The Black Fingernail]]'s described as "a terror with the girls" in the movie trailer, and there is montage in the movie of his relaxing day out, where he courts and makes out with women while he's on his picnic and then fishing with Duc de Prommfit (who's also joining in on the fun). |
| 251 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: His first three roles in the series saw him play the StraightMan authority figure to the bumbling recruits he's saddled with. His lovable lech persona developed over time. |
| 252 | * TheCharmer: Many of his characters, especially the obvious dirty old men. |
| 253 | ** [[Film/CarryOnHenry Henry VIII]] charms himself into a farmer's daughter's pants after paying her for sex. |
| 254 | ** [[Film/CarryOnCamping Boggle]] charms the schoolgirls after he helps them with their tent at the campsite and an offer for a friendly night-in complete with wine. |
| 255 | %%* TheChessmaster |
| 256 | * CrazyPrepared: Many of his characters' plans to foil the enemy seem too elaborate. |
| 257 | * ChubbyChaser: Gladstone Screwer is this because he's spent all his life being surrounded with curvier-to-chubby women. |
| 258 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: When he's surrounded by idiots, or when he doesn't get his own way. |
| 259 | %%* DirtyOldMan: At least 90% of his characters. |
| 260 | %%* DisguisedInDrag: A couple of times. |
| 261 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Many times. [[Film/CarryOnCleo Marc Antony]] faints when he accidentally sees a naked Cleopatra on his visit. |
| 262 | %%* GentlemanThief: As [[Film/CarryOnDick Dick Turpin]] and [[Film/CarryOnMatron Sid Carter]]. |
| 263 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: If he was obviously the villain, he'd be the latter, but if he was supposedly the hero with jerkassery intentions, it flitted between the two. |
| 264 | %%* GreatWhiteHunter: As [[Film/CarryOnUpTheJungle Bill Boosey]]. |
| 265 | %%* GreenEyedMonster |
| 266 | * HenpeckedHusband: As [[Film/CarryOnAtYourConvenience Sid Plummer]], [[Film/CarryOnCabby Charlie Hawkins]] and [[Film/CarryOnAbroad Vic]]. [[Film/CarryOnCleo Marc]] starts to become one in order to win the affections of Cleopatra. |
| 267 | %%* HeroAntagonist: The majority of his roles. |
| 268 | * {{Jerkass}}: All of the characters have had jerkass moments. |
| 269 | * KarmaHoudini: Most of his villainous characters get away with anything they do. He either escapes well-deserved jail time or plans a ZanyScheme to distract the heroes (to be fair, most of the heroes are idiots, anyway). |
| 270 | * KavorkaMan: How on earth do so many women fall for this guy? |
| 271 | ** Sid James might be devastatingly good-looking in-universe. Some characters have described him as "not conventionally handsome" but "rugged". [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Then someone else said that he "has a face like a road map"]]. |
| 272 | * LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Often the result of his dirty laugh. |
| 273 | %%* TheLeader: Often of team of three or five, but mostly of a RagtagBunchOfMisfits. |
| 274 | * LovableRogue: [[Film/CarryOnDick Dick Turpin]], [[Film/DontLoseYourHead The Black Fingernail]] and [[Film/CarryOnCowboy The Rumpo Kid]]. |
| 275 | * ManipulativeBastard: When things weren't going his way, he'd set up bombshells and gatecrashes to get others to hate each other. Basically, think of many of his characters as expies of [[Theatre/{{Othello}} Iago]]. |
| 276 | * {{Nepotism}} |
| 277 | ** Gangster [[Film/CarryOnMatron Sid Carter]] dragging his son into his mission. |
| 278 | ** [[Film/CarryOnAtYourConvenience Sid Plummer]] works in a toilet factory and his daughter is a cafe assistant in the canteen. |
| 279 | * NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Especially by unattractive women. Infamously, the reaction of a passenger's attitude towards CPT Crowther. |
| 280 | %%* SexForServices: Really common. |
| 281 | * SignatureLaugh: All of his characters have the "dirty laugh", even if the character isn't a dirty old man. |
| 282 | * Standard50sFather: Many of his domestic roles were this, even though some of his characters didn't have children. Complete with a DistinguishedGentlemansPipe.[[note]] Sid James' crazy way of life made him have a heart attack in 1967, so he decided to swap smoking cigarettes for pipes because they were apparently "healthier". Unsurprisingly, he had another in '76 that finished him off.[[/note]] |
| 283 | * SurroundedByIdiots: If he's in command, he usually suffers from this. |
| 284 | ** [[Film/CarryOnConstable SGT Wilkins]], when he hires reinforcements for his precinct that get the simplest tasks wrong. |
| 285 | ** [[Film/CarryOnCruising CPT Crowther]], when he too hires reinforcements for his cruise staff that get the simplest tasks wrong. |
| 286 | %%* TerribleTrio: Often the leader of one of these. |
| 287 | %%* ThoseTwoGuys: Usually when he's playing a villain with a sidekick. |
| 288 | %%* TheTropeKid: [[Film/CarryOnCowboy The Rumpo Kid]]. |
| 289 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: Rumpo Kid takes over the town after he kills the Sheriff. |
| 290 | * VillainExitStageLeft: For lack of a better trope, this describes Sidney Fiddler's fate after Mrs. Prodworthy and her feminists sabotage the beauty contest; with the attendees blaming ''him'' for it, Fiddler grabs a nearby go-kart and scoots off, stopping only to try and steal the money from the contest (Connie Philpots beat him to it) before zooming off again. Hope Springs catches up to him on her bike and the two drive off together, with his last words being to tell a "Leaving Fircombe: Do Come Back" sign a heartily disgusted "Not bloody likely!" |
| 291 | * VillainProtagonist: [[Film/CarryOnCowboy The Rumpo Kid]], [[Film/CarryOnMatron Sid Carter]] the gangster, [[Film/DontLoseYourHead The Black Fingernail]] and [[Film/CarryOnDick Dick Turpin]]. |

| 301 | Kenneth Connor appeared in 17 films in the series. He was a rather important regular in the early days of the films but after the mid-1960s, his six-year departure led to him CommutingOnABus and having much smaller roles among the recurring minor cast members. He mostly plays meek put-upon men that are either shy-like or pompous and are occasionally leering sexually-frustrated men, mostly trying to win the affections of an oblivious or uninterested love interest. |

| 341 | |
| 342 | Peter Butterworth appeared in 16 films in the movie series. He varied between major and minor roles, as well as memorable cameos in entertaining appearances. He usually portrayed benign and slightly-bumbling characters who could either be easily scared or unable to see chaos around him. Most infamously, he was usually the sane characters that would have nervous breakdowns in life-threatening situations as the other characters were distracted. |

| 355 | * GentlemanThief: Tom, who isn't as horny as his leader Dick Turpin. |
| 356 | * {{Greed}}: Most of his characters. At the sight of more than one money note, they either beg to be paid more or guilt-trip the giver by claiming that they are poor and would need more for essentials. |
| 357 | ** Funnily enough, [[Film/CarryOnBehind Arthur]] was once a millionaire that lost all his money and looks after hens. When he hears about archaeologists in the area, he creates his own artefacts by breaking up pieces of metal to convince the group that they are remains of ancient jewellery. |
