Yellow

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e170de3e848eb9eee6c7b95467f1639c.jpg

An yellow larvae who is an comically Too Dumb to Live if gross Butt-Monkey and is one of the main characters and titular duo


  • Butt-Monkey: Obviously sharing Red's punching bag status, but a lot less than Red.
  • The Chessmaster: Showing how he isn't as dumb as he seems and is, in one episode called "Genius Yellow", Yellow slips on a puddle, bumps into Red and accidentally swallows his bread, only for it to be later revealed that he specifically planned it that way.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He's had tons of remarks of himself being an odd fellow, can be a total dingbat, usually the goofball while around Red or not, and Yellow himself can be quite eccentric, over-the-top and weird in his usual goofy behavior or blissful activities when in his everyday naivete, blissful ignorance or from anything weird happening in a episode, just enough to make him seem unpredictable at times.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Yellow has his heroic moments as one of the protagonists and can obligingly prove to be a Genius Ditz or can help out his friends, no matter how silly and inane he usually is. He can also be this when trying to be tough and intimidating, enough to the point that he can look pretty crazy.
    • Not only that, but he also started what would be the first Larva Rangers, who would defend all from those who would pick on the weak.
  • Did Not Get the Girl: Ultimately loses Pink to Brown of all people and gets emotional because of this.
  • Dumb, but Diligent: When it either comes to Yellow pulling out moments of true brilliance in his Genius Ditz moments or is cooperative as well.
  • Dumb Is Good: Very Dumb, and very Nice. Enough said.
  • Fartillery: Uses his farts like a cannon (while he can use them like a rocket, heater, etc).
  • Fun Personified: What he likes doing by himself or with friends on a special occasion when discovering something or something else being the case.
  • The Fool: Can show moments where he is very lucky in some instances/situations/etc that don't come across the Idiot Houdini zone, in fact, this can most likely be subverted when a Butt-Monkey.
  • Genius Ditz: (See The Chessmaster above), Yellow has shown to be naturally talented and pretty skilled in some techniques that he also teaches how to function some abilities to Red or his friends.
  • Idiot Houdini: Often in the early episodes, although Averted in later episodes.
  • Iron Butt Monkey: Along with Red, he is quite durable and always lets Red slap him around and is still happy regardless, well most of the time.
  • The Klutz: Can be this sometimes due to his dimwitted, oddball tendencies with his usual silliness making him prone to comical clumsiness, it can also result from having poor coordination with some environmental structures when running or other times like running on ice for example or is sometimes easily & unreasonably thwarted into being involved with slapstick pain when in his harmless activities by Red or is shown to have his klutzy moments whenever he has screen time.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: Due to his aforementioned Dumb Is Good demeanor, he never has a deliberately mean or malicious bone towards anyone unless he was motivated to do so (e.g Red) or was just being mischievous. Yellow isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but he sure is incredibly kind, good-natured and was shown to be very sympathetic (usually loyal to Red on the Dumb, but Diligent side of things and in general), and is even gentle towards any kind of creature unless he was shown to be a lot more and more oblivious about something that could lead to potential problems in general or more oblivious with just problems in general at times.
  • Lethally Stupid: Yellow's clumsiness allows him to cause misfortune on others without intention and the episode "Troublemaker" shows his stronger side of this trope.
  • Meaningful Name: Along with many other characters such as Red, his name is based on his skin color.
  • Extreme Doormat: The most soft-tempered and least bad-tempered to the slapstick in inflicted on him and always is this to Red, except one time he tried getting revenge in Red's sleep when feeling pressured to..
  • Gasshole: Can be this due to childish humor or out of habit. While his friends can be hypocritical since they can be gassy too, Yellow does this a lot more often than not.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Is ultimately this due to his ditzy and goofball characteristics.
  • Simpleton Voice: Although Yellow himself never talks per se, you'd get the idea that he has a goofy, stupid dialect because of the amusingly eccentric and silly voices he usually makes when communicating or during his usual antics.
  • Toilet Humor: Is frequently the cause of this.
  • Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: Where some of his foolishness can result from.

  • More Teeth than the Osmond Family:Violet posses a mouthful of long and sharp fangs.

He has a good enough appetite to eat up caterpillars and other insects.


  • Ambiguously Gay: Although this seems to be a case of Viewer Gender Confusion when Navy in his first appearance seemed like a female goldfish flirting with the larvae because of the appearance & high-pitched voice, but Navy revealing to be male kind of shows this.

  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Has tons of moments when the larvae get their comeuppance for messing with him and his honey.

  • The Comically Serious: The most deadpan antagonist against the larvae, but has comical moments.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: An wry villain to the larvae and usually antagonizes the larvae so he can eat them without toying with them.
  • Psychotic Smirk: Played with in "Hi Violet!", when Violet's skills of fright didn't work on Prussian when some old lady's teeth gums were shot into Violet's mouth when she sneezed and the episode ended with Prussian giving off this expression when his prey was simply vulnerable.
  • Road Runner vs. Coyote: Along with many villainous characters that antagonize the larvae duo. Although Prussian can be the more seemingly subtle version when he waits for his prey to be vulnerable and can let them go scot-free at times when not caring about his prey.
