1 | While ''WesternAnimation/CreatureComforts'' features many characters, there are a few animal interviewees who [[RecurringCharacter appear more frequently than others]]. Here are some of the most frequent. |

5 | |
6 | [[folder:Trixie and Captain Cuddlepuss]] |
7 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trix&cuddle_1.png]] |
8 | A HappilyMarried (presumably) lady dog and tomcat who are always seen lounging around on a couch. They often debate with each other about the topic of the episode, or each other's character flaws, or both at the same time. They're not too picky. |
9 | ---- |
10 | * AnimalJingoism: Trixie seems to find the idea of writing a Christmas card for someone's pet cat patently ridiculous, [[ImStandingRightHere while Cuddlepuss is sitting right next to her.]] So he offers this gem in response: |
11 | -->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "Yeah, I can imagine a farmer sending a card to his herd." |
12 | -->'''Trixie:''' "'For the cow at Christmas!' [Laughs]" |
13 | -->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "[Under his breath] Yeah, [[StealthPun not to be confused with the wife]], or anything." |
14 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: During the Pet Shop episode, when asked how much they think they're worth, we're treated to this moment: |
15 | -->'''Trixie:''' "I wouldn't put a price ticket on myself." |
16 | -->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "No... nope. Not at all." |
17 | -->'''Trixie:''' "Nope." |
18 | -->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "I wouldn't even sell you." |
19 | -->[{{Main/Beat}}] |
20 | -->'''Trixie:''' "I wouldn't sell you, either." |
21 | -->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "Aww." |
22 | -->'''Trixie:''' "Aww!" |
23 | * TheCouch: Always seen sitting on one, which is notably covered in scratch marks on Cuddlepuss' side. |
24 | * DamnedByFaintPraise: Trixie at one point says Cuddlepuss is 'not that unsavoury a person'. Cuddlepuss seems to take offence. Probably only for a second, though. |
25 | * DeadpanSnarker: Captain Cuddlepuss is probably the main snarker of the series; and he's actually Deadpan, too. |
26 | * FemaleFelineMaleMutt: A notable [[InvertedTrope inversion.]] |
27 | * IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt: In the aliens episode, Trixie claims to know what a UFO is, but when asked what it stands for, she asks what it is. |
28 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Trixie accuses Cuddlepuss of being one of these in "Pet Hates". |
29 | * LazyHusband: Cuddlepuss is implied to be this. |
30 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Also inverted; Trixie doesn't have eyelashes and wears a spiky collar, while Cuddlepuss has a fancy-looking leopard-print collar. |
31 | * VitriolicBestBuds: They often have quiet arguments over rather petty things, LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. That part's [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since they were probably voiced by an actual married couple. |
32 | [[/folder]] |
33 | |
34 | [[folder:Fluffy]] |
35 | ->"The Circus is, ummm... [{{Main/Beat}}] It's a bit boring, isn't it, really..." |
36 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fluffy_3.png]] |
37 | A very cynical, world-weary pet hamster with a droning voice and a history of both physical and mental injuries. Can be relied upon to highlight the dark sides of the episode's topic. |
38 | ---- |
39 | * ButtMonkey: He often describes unfortunate occurrences he's had in the past, including having scars on every part of his body, having his head slammed in a door on his birthday, and playing witness to a Christmas where the turkey ended up on the wall. |
40 | * TheComicallySerious: As mentioned in Trivia, is often so dull and pessimistic that he's hilarious. |
41 | * TheEeyore: The one time he's sounded happy about something is when he admits to liking the feel of the warm sun while sunbathing. |
42 | * SelfDeprecation: He admits that most people would find him boring, but if you like the kind of person who sits around and moans a lot, he'd be an excellent companion. |
43 | * StrawNihilist: The speech he gives in disbelief of evolution sounds more like a commentary on the meaningless of life than anything else. |
44 | -->'''Fluffy:''' "Well, you know, if evolution- that's- that's all a load of rubbish, isn't it, that's not true, is it? Load of rubbish... how can you possibly 'evolve' a set of wings? ...It's not gonna 'appen, is it? ...I mean, I'd like a set of wings. I'd love a set of wings, in fact. If I could have anything, I would- I'd definitely have a set of wings, but... it wouldn't matter how many times I jumped off a tall building... I'd never grow wings. And even if I jumped off a tall building, and then my child jumped off a tall building and his child jumped off a tall building and we did that for ever and ever and ever... [clears throat] ...there is not the slightest chance... that wings would grow out of my back." |

46 | |
47 | [[folder:Gary and Nigel]] |
48 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/garyandnigel_1.png]] |
49 | A dutiful pair of garden slugs who are never seen apart. Are probably [[TheEveryman the most 'normal']] of the recurring animals. |
50 | ---- |
51 | * ConsummateProfessional: They admit to taking this attitude towards gardening. Though, given the animal they're animated as, this takes on [[DeadlyEuphemism a completely different meaning.]] |
52 | * ExtremeOmnivore: Nigel says he'll eat anything. Except Turkish Delight. |
53 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: Gary apparently has seven children. |
54 | * ThoseTwoGuys |
55 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: Gary's wife, when she appears in slug form, is at least a whole eyestalk taller than him, and considerably wider too. |
56 | [[/folder]] |
57 | |
58 | [[folder:Pickles]] |
59 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pickles_8.png]] |
60 | A very cheery Guide Dog with a penchant for chasing everything in sight. Voiced by Sarah Williams. |
61 | ---- |
62 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Her caretaker seemed to consider her this; he ran away when she approached him with a Mistletoe. |
63 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A common feature of her speech. For example, she thinks [[NonIronicClown Clowns]] are talented because they're very funny, because they do things in a funny way that makes people laugh, and you have to be talented to do that, and... [[OverlyLongGag they're very funny.]] |
64 | * MotorMouth: Get her going and she can babble at length about ''anything'' for quite a while. |
65 | * NotHerself: Her initial appearance in the Aliens episode creates this impression, as she talks in an unusually slow and stilted tone, and the animation gives her a noticeable eye twitch. |
66 | * ThePollyanna: Is pretty much Fluffy's polar opposite; she's all happy, all the time. |
67 | [[/folder]] |
68 | |
69 | [[folder:Spanner and Trousers]] |
70 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spanner&trousers.png]] |
71 | A pair of mangy dogs who live in a skip. They have some rather interesting habits. |
72 | ---- |
73 | * ActualPacifist: [[AllThereInTheManual According to a little booklet in Series 1 Part 1's DVD release]], Trousers doesn't believe in biting people. |
74 | * AnimalJingoism: They're not especially fond of pigeons. |
75 | * ThoseTwoGuys |
76 | * TheTramp: If the skip wasn't enough, they've claimed to have [[MasochistsMeal 'liberated' food from the bins around the backs of shops]] and slept in tunnels and under motorways (and on a motorway, on one occasion). |
77 | * WisdomFromTheGutter: When Spanner professes to always be searching for a way to evolve, Trousers responds 'one day you think you got there, the next, you get run over.' |
78 | -->'''Spanner:''' "That's it, game ovah. [{{Main/Beat}}] Y'know what I mean?" |
79 | [[/folder]] |
80 | |
81 | [[folder:Clement]] |
82 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clement_1.png]] |
83 | An old Bloodhound with [[BornUnlucky horrible luck]] and a perpetual fear of having objects dropped on his head. |
84 | ---- |
85 | * ButtMonkey: The biggest one in the series; he's always worried about getting hurt in some way, talking about past conditions or eating food with lead in it, had his doghouse struck by lightning, [[DisproportionateRetribution and got thrown in jail for insulting the Royal Family.]] |
86 | * NostalgiaFilter: He misses the way houses were built in the 1950s, with 'one brick laid on top of the other'. [[FailedASpotCheck He says this while patting his wooden doghouse with brick-patterned wallpaper on it.]] |
87 | * TemptingFate: In "Animals In The 'Hood", he says that he's here [in his Doghouse] permanently due to its sturdy construction. In TheStinger, it's shown that it was struck by lightning and obliterated while he was still in it. |
88 | * ThrowTheDogABone: An uninentionally literal example; in the Pet Shop episode, he comments that he's recently been adopted by a loving family. |
89 | [[/folder]] |
90 | |
91 | [[folder:Victor]] |
92 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/victor.png]] |
93 | A very loud and emotional Mouse with a [[TheUnintelligible comically thick]] [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents Geordie accent.]] |
94 | ---- |
95 | * BoisterousBruiser: Comes off as one of these. Apparently gives his son a 'little punch' as a sign of affection, and says he has to be 'rough and ready'. |
96 | * CasanovaWannabe: Subverted; he used to flirt with women all the time, but knew he might not have much success, as he always kept his fingers crossed. |
97 | * CloudCuckoolander: Victor's animation has him interact with small children's dolls in a doll's house as if they were real people. Though he does look visibly perturbed when he accidentally knocks one of their heads off. |
98 | * FateWorseThanDeath: His son apparently considered having his father's Geordie accent worse than having diabetes. |
99 | -->'''Victor:''' "So I try an' cheer 'im up; I say 'y'know was, I swap yer any time y'like, I'll 'ave your Diabetes, an' you can 'ave my Geordie accent.' An' y'know what 'e says, 'e says 'No, I'd rather be Diabetic than 'ave a Geordie accent!' An' I say 'Wha- y'jerkin, arn'yeh?'" |
100 | * MouseWorld: Played with; in some of his appearances, he's seen living in a doll's house. He remarks he never thought he'd live in a place this 'up-market'. |
101 | * PatrioticFervor: Hearing 'Rule Britannia' gets him all riled up, and 'makes [him] wanna bash somebody'. |
102 | [[/folder]] |
103 | |
104 | [[folder:Behzad]] |
105 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/behzadb.png]] |
106 | A funky Arabian Horse from outta town who's very mobile in the job market. |
107 | ---- |
108 | * BerserkButton: Drunkards. Also, people who do Creator/RobertDeNiro's 'YouTalkinToMe' routine. |
109 | -->'''Behzad:''' "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to- SHUT UP! D'you know, [[DeadHorseTrope that's SO overdone, it's unbelievable!]]" |
110 | * TheCoconutEffect: Parodied; during TheStinger for "Impressions", he seems to be making the stereotypical 'clop clop' sound with his hooves, only to reveal he has coconut shells strapped to them. |
111 | * CoolHorse: A literal example. He is a horse, and he is, all things considered, pretty cool. |
112 | * TheDandy: He gives fashion advice to ''the Royal Family'', of all people, suggesting that they wear layered shirts with [[FunTShirt fun slogans]] on them. |
113 | * DungFu: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]; he suggests tricking drunkards into stepping in excreta on the streets to [[AppleOfDiscord turn them against each other.]] |
114 | * HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Not Behzad himself, but he suggests this is the case with Queen Elizabeth II's husband. He thinks his name is The Husband Of The Queen[[note]]For reference, his real name is Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh[[/note]]. |
115 | * ObliquelyObfuscatedOccupation: He's most often seen as a racehorse, but in "Pet Hates" he was with the police, and in "Monarchy Business" he was ferrying around a Beefeater at Buckingham Palace. |
116 | * TheOldCountry: It's not clear where he's originally from; [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent his accent isn't conclusive]], but his name is definitely Middle-Eastern and he says he's from a place where people are imprisoned, killed and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking forced to have sex changes]] for insulting royals. Assuming he literally meant monarchs and not just politicians, that more-or-less narrows it down to the Arabian monarchies like Saudi Arabia or Qatar (which would make sense, since he's an [[VisualPun Arabian horse]]). |
