Line #111 Characters/CreatureComforts


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]]).
