Chicken

"Bab-bagawk?!"

Voiced by: Seth Green

The titular "Robot Chicken", although his name is only "Chicken" according to Word of God. As shown in the original credits, he was once a normal chicken that was run over by a car while trying to cross a highway. However, he was found by the Mad Scientist, who took him to his laboratory and turned him into a Cyborg to bring him Back from the Dead, strap him to a chair and forced him to watch Robot Chicken sketches.

---

• A Dog Named "Dog": He is a chicken named Chicken.
• All for Nothing: Zig-Zagged in regards to the rescue of his wife in "Fight Club Paradise". The Chicken fights his way back to the Mad Scientist's lab, only to be told that he made fried chicken of her. However, this is a lie and she is unharmed. Nevertheless, by the next special she has left him.
• Alternate Universe: In the Star Wars special, he plays the part of Darth Vader at the end of Revenge of the Sith... before being forced to watch the Star Wars sketches.
• Always Someone Better: After almost effortlessly massacring the Mad Scientist's minions through his castle, he finds himself completely outmatched in combat by the Mad Scientist. In all likelihood, the Mad Scientist made him weaker than himself to avoid him turning the tables on him.
• And I Must Scream: For the first five seasons, he is strapped to a chair and forced to watch "mind-numbing" television constantly. After subjugating the Mad Scientist to this for the next two seasons, Chicken goes back to this in Seasons 8 and 9.
• Animal Gender-Bender: He is canonically male, but not a rooster. Maybe he is an immature chicken, but his escape sketch implies he is an adult and his wife doesn't look like like a hen either. At least one action figure box fell to the confusion and claimed him as female. And to fuel the misconception, Dark Meat is clearly a rooster despite having the same size and proportions as the Chicken.
• Animated Actors: Several sketches show him going about his business freely, sometimes even being treated as a celebrity.
• Advertised Extra: In the beginning, he was only present in the opening credits and had no presence or impact on the show itself, despite being the show's mascot and titular character.
• Back from the Dead: Twice. He was revived once in the past by the Mad Scientist, and again in The Future by the Mad Scientist's descendant.
• Bird People: Downplayed, but he is largely treated as human after he escapes the Mad Scientist's lab.
• Blue Is Heroic: Has a blue power source in his chest, and is the main protagonist of the show.
• Carnivore Confusion: He shares with his wife the chicken cuts he thought were his wife just a minute before.
• The Chew Toy: While the show may throw him a bone once in a while, it is undeniable that the creators delight in tormenting him.
• Cyborg: In his present form, he is half organic and half robotic.
• Decoy Protagonist: Before he was given an arc in the specials, he had no impact on the show proper despite being named after him.
• Determinator: It doesn't matter how much his (after)life sucks. He never gives up.
• Disproportionate Retribution:
  • He slaughters several characters in "The Rescue" who are little, or no threat to him.
  • At the end of "Arkham Breakout", after many wacky escape attempts by DC supervillains, he pulls out a submachine gun and shoots the least threatening inmate of all: Mr. Banjo.
• The Dog Bites Back: Zig-Zagged in "Fight Club Paradise". The Chicken escapes, but the Mad Scientist kidnaps his wife to lure him back into the castle. The Chicken kills most of his minions in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, but finds himself outmatched by the Scientist... until he accidentally locks his wrist on the same chair he strapped the Chicken and his wife to. The Chicken then kills the Scientist by crushing him under the same TV monitors the Scientist used to torment him.
• Drowning My Sorrows: He is reduced to this after his wife leaves him.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: He is only reunited with his wife after killing the Mad Scientist while believing she was already dead.
• Escaped from the Lab: Happens offscreen in "Fight Club Paradise".
• Enemy Mine: He later frees the Mad Scientist and teams up with him to fight the Mad Scientist's son.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • He doesn't hurt the nerds during his Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
  • He decapitates all the cyborgs of the Mad Scientist's Son except the Robot Homeless Man, who expressed his unwillingness to fight.
• Evil Knockoff: "Dark Meat", an evil red rooster cyborg made by the Mad Scientist's son.
• Fate Worse than Death: Brought Back from the Dead to watch mind-numbing television constantly, and it happens to him twice.
• Happily Married: He is revealed to have a wife, Cluckerella, in "Fight Club Paradise".
• The Hero: Plays the part in the segments "The Rescue" and "Robot Chicken and Mad Scientist to the Rescue!", where he fights the Mad Scientist's son.
• Heroic Second Wind: During the Roaring Rampage of Revenge, he takes a beating from Bitch Pudding but makes a comeback and throws her off the railing to a Disney Death. It is then subverted at the Mad Scientist's lab: the implication that the Scientist cooked his wife enrages the Chicken, but he is outmatched in the fight by the Scientist.
• Human Popsicle: The latest seasons show the Chicken being frozen in The Future, then being tawed and revived by the Mad Scientist's descendant.
• Knight in Sour Armor: During his Roaring Rampage of Revenge, the Chicken kills several characters that weren't a threat to him and even made a point of not antagonizing him. He still spared the nerds from harm, though.
• Living Weapon: He has a laser eye and the specials reveal that he was fitted with several blades, electrical charges and even a jetpack. Yet the Mad Scientist's intention was for him to watch only Stop Motion cartoons... or was it?
• Negative Continuity: The early credits show that he was a regular chicken before being turned into a cyborg, but "Fight Club Paradise" has him returning to a human home and having a humanoid wife. The house has photos of the Chicken and his wife that shows him in his cyborg self.
• Non-Indicative Name: Being flesh mixed with robotics, he's actually a cyborg.
• One-Man Army: In his Roaring Rampage of Revenge during "The Rescue", where he effortlessly kills most of the Mad Scientist's minions.
• Razor Wings: His metal wing is shown to become sharp as a blade.
• Red Is Heroic: In addition to having red tufts of hair like a red chicken, his robot eye is red, and he's the overall hero of the show.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Has one after the Mad Scientist kidnaps his wife.
• Series Mascot: To the point of naming the show and being used in its logo.
• Shout-Out: His arc is a pastiche of pop culture, just like the series. His revival evokes Frankenstein; his looks, Terminator; his abilities, RoboCop and The Bionic Woman; and his fate, the torture scenes of A Clockwork Orange.
• Sparing the Final Mook: After slaughtering everyone in his path, including some who weren't resisting when he goes Storming the Castle to rescue his wife, he finds the final door guarded by the Nerd. When the Nerd steps aside, the chicken lets him live.
• Stealth Pun: He is a chicken that was killed while crossing a road.
• Superpowered Robot Meter Maids: Despite the Mad Scientist only rebuilding him for the purpose of watching television, his cybernetic implants make him a deadly warrior.
• Talking with Signs: Uses them when he wants to be understood by humans.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: Pretty much the entirety of "Fight Club Paradise". First, he is set free when the Mad Scientist's maid comes to clean his chair. Then, he goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge through the Mad Scientist's lair upon seeing that he has kidnapped his wife. Finally, after killing the Mad Scientist, he discovers his wife is actually unharmed and is reunited with her.
• Took a Level in Badass:
  • He becomes a One-Man Army in "Fight Club Paradise", when he takes the Mad Scientist's castle by assault to rescue his wife.
  • A second one in "Chipotle Miserables", where he is revealed to have the power to fly.
• The Unintelligible: He speaks in chicken noises.
• Uplifted Animal: Used to be a regular chicken before being made humanoid by the Mad Scientist as part of the revival process. If we ignore Negative Continuity.
• Who's Laughing Now?: After killing the Mad Scientist, he revives him through the same process and forces him to watch cartoons instead.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Became a One-Man Army after being tortured for years.

Mad Scientist

"It's alive!"

Voiced by: Les Claypool (opening), David Lynch (Season 10)

A psychotic, perpetually smiling Mad Scientist that lives in a dark castle. He turns the Chicken into a cyborg to revive him and make him watch Robot Chicken sketches continuously.

---

• All There in the Manual: His real name is apparently Fritz Huhnmörder, but he is known as the Mad Scientist.
  • The Saturday Night Live opening parody has him as "Rick Sanchez".

• Call It Karma: After his death, he is revived and forced to endure the torture he subjected the Chicken to... for two seasons.
• Cyborg: Turned into one by the Chicken, as part of the revival process.
• Decapitation Presentation: When he switches places with the Chicken in the opening, due to the size difference, the Chicken rises only his decapitated head from the ground.
• Deuteragonist: Gets promoted to this status after his Heel–Face Turn in "Chipotle Miserables", becoming the second most prominent character in the show.
• Enemy Mine: He teams up with the Chicken in "Chipotle Miserables", in order to defeat and take revenge on his son.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Called the Mad Scientist, despite having a real name.
• Evil Genius: Even leaving aside his status as Mad Scientist, he is one of the few inhabitants of his castle that can rub two braincells together. If not the only one.
• Evil Is Bigger: He towers over the Chicken and all of his minions.
• Evil Laugh: Heard in the original intro, when he finds the chicken by the road.
• Eye Scream: His son takes out his remaining organic eye to use it for the optical scanner that guards his cyborg-making technology.
• Fate Worse than Death: Turned into a cyborg and revived after his death, then forced to watch Robot Chicken sketches continuously. This is made worse by his son, who instead of freeing him mutilates his remaining organic eye to steal his cyborg-making tools.
• For Science!: In the sketch "You can't do that on Robot Chicken!" he taunts the Chicken by telling him that he crossed the road "to die in the name of Science!"
  • The 200th episode, meanwhile, reveals that his entire experiment ("ten seasons of injecting pure pop culture into a viewer's eyes") was designed to help him create the world's most perfect joke. The result, by the way, is "La La Land", a reference to the infamous Best Picture slipup at the 2017 Osacrs.
• Generation Xerox: His long-time descendant thaws and revives the original Chicken to subject him to more cartoons.
• Heel–Face Turn: In "Chipotle Miserables", he joins the Chicken to defeat his evil(er) son.
• Herr Doktor: His real name is German.
• I Have Your Wife: When the Chicken escapes in "Fight Club Paradise", he kidnaps his wife to lure him back.
• Jerkass: As if everything he does to the Chicken wasn't evil enough, he also mocks and taunts him in "You can't do that on Robot Chicken!"
• Karmic Death: While fighting the Chicken, he accidentally locks his wrist in the same chair he strapped the Chicken to. The Chicken then kills him by crushing him under the same TV monitors he used to torment the Chicken.
• Large and in Charge: Taller than any of his minions.
• Mad Scientist: But of course.
• Meaningful Name: His real last name (Huhnmörder) is German for "Chicken Murderer".
• Mini-Mecha: Part this, part Powered Armor. He uses this to take on his son in "Chipotle Miserables".
• Off with His Head!: He is decapitated by the falling monitors.
• Perpetual Smiler: His smile is permanent, including while he laughs, and even when things don't go his way. The Season 8 intro reveals that this is a trait shared with his ancestors and even his descendant!
• Rank Scales with Asskicking: He actually bests the Chicken in combat, unlike his minions.
• Shout-Out: His first name is Fritz, like the assistant in Frankenstein (1931) (not Igor) and his character is patterned after the film version of Dr. Frankenstein (and a bit of Emmett Brown from Back to the Future). In "You can't do that on Robot Chicken!" he taunts the Chicken and then chases him with a chain saw.
• Slasher Smile: A big toothed smile he wears permanently.
• Slow Clap: Sarcastic version done to mock the Chicken after he fights his way through the castle.
• The Speechless: He is only ever heard in the original intro, where he laughs and screams "He is alive!" after reviving the Chicken. His voice was provided by Les Claypool from Primus who also composed the theme song. Finally averted in the Season 10 finale of the series proper, with David Lynch providing his voice.
• Strong Family Resemblance: The distant future opening from Season 8 onwards reveals a long line of Mad Scientist's descendants, all of them with the exact same face and Slasher Smile.
• Talking with Signs: He uses them to talk to the Chicken in "You can't do that on Robot Chicken!"
• Wild Hair: Just look at the picture.
• White Hair, Black Heart: He has white Wild Hair, fitting for a Mad Scientist. And prior to his Heel–Face Turn, he was a crazed scientist who tortured Chicken by forcing him to watch Robot Chicken sketches.

Cluckerella

"I'm leaving you. Sorry."^note "This was the only scrap of paper I could find."

Voiced by: Seth Green

The Chicken's wife, kidnapped by the Mad Scientist and forced to watch sketches in his place to lure him back.

---

• All for Nothing: Subverted in "Fight Club Paradise". The Mad Scientist tells the Chicken that he has made fried cuts out of her, but she's actually unharmed.
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: The Mad Scientist doesn't mutilate her and add robotic body parts like he did to the Chicken, and only forces one of her eyes open instead of two.
• Bird People: A straighter example than her husband.
• Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: She's a chicken but she has humanoid features like breasts and flowing blond hair.
• Carnivore Confusion: She eats the chicken cuts her husband initially mistook for her.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Has a male voice actor despite being female.
• Disposable Woman: She exists as a reason for the Chicken to fight the Mad Scientist and all his minions.
• Distaff Counterpart: Of the Chicken.
• Hair of Gold: Has it, despite being a bird.
• Informed Species: Canonically a chicken, but looks more like an unspecified humanoid bird.
• Interrupted Bath: The Mad Scientist kidnaps her while she is taking a shower.
• Neutral Female: She doesn't even reveal that she is alive until the Mad Scientist is dead, despite being nearby and not Bound and Gagged.
• Non-Mammalian Mammaries: She has breasts despite being a bird.
• Put on a Bus: By the next special, she's left the Chicken without an explanation.
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: She has long blond hair instead of a crest, Non-Mammalian Mammaries, and wears women's clothes and makeup while her male counterpart is nude and chicken-like.
• Ungrateful Bastard: She abandons the Chicken after all he did to rescue her.

Mad Scientist's Son

"Oh, they might not pay for a President no, no... but how about all the presidents?!"

Voiced by: Zachary Levi

The Mad Scientist's twisted son, who steals his cyborg-making tools as part of a plot to kidnap all living US presidents for ransom.

---

• Amusing Injuries: He survives a free fall from a great height with no ill effects.
• Big Bad: Of the "Robot Chicken and Mad Scientist to the Rescue!" segment.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: Has them despite being obviously younger than his dad. Presumably inherited them from him, and it was the Mad Scientist's eyebrows that thinned with age.
• Call It Karma: After his defeat, the Mad Scientist straps him to the chair and forces him to watch sketches.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Beaten effortlessly by his father, both with and without his Power Armor. There is a reason he didn't release him.
• Deadpan Snarker: He jokes that his father is taking the torture graciously because he keeps his perpetual smile.
• Enfante Terrible: He's the Mad Scientist's son, and he kidnaps all the living US presidents for $100 billion.
• Eviler than Thou: Despite being his son, the Mad Scientist's son is far worse than him. His plan is so grand that it forces Chicken and the Mad Scientist to team up and stop him.
• Greed: He kidnaps the presidents to demand $100 billion.
• Kick The Son Of A Bitch: A literal instance happens to him after he is already defeated by his father: Jimmy Carter kicks him in the nuts.
• Humiliation Conga: His plan is derailed by his father and the Chicken, his cyborgs killed (except maybe for RoboHobo), he is beaten up and has his testicles kicked after the fact by a nonagenarian, and he is finally strapped to a chair and forced to watch Robot Chicken sketches (the same torment he forced the presidents to endure during their captivity).
• I Have Your Wife: He takes all living US presidents hostage and forces them to watch Robot Chicken sketches until he is paid a $100 billion ransom.
• Non-Action Big Bad: He uses his cyborgs to fight the Chicken. When they are defeated, he is beaten effortlessly by his father.
• No Name Given: Invoked in his TV address. "My name is 'guy you're going to pay $100 billion'!"
• One-Scene Wonder: He is only in one sketch but he made a memorable villain. Just look at the tropes list.
• Outside-Context Villain: He comes from nowhere to antagonize both the Chicken and his father, making them team up.
• Sequel Escalation: Much more talkative and proactive than his father, to whom he scolds for his "lack of vision" at one point. He makes four cyborgs (Dark Meat, Cyborg Raccoon, Robot White-Tailed Deer, and Robot Homeless Person a.k.a RoboHobo) instead of one; takes five hostages to make them watch sketches instead of one, who are also living US presidents instead of a dead chicken by the road; and uses both for a stated purpose (netting himself $100 billion in ransom).
• Shout-Out: He uses a freshly taken human eye to get pass an optical scanner like Simon Phoenix in Demolition Man, and gives the presidents the option of doing "a human-centipede dealie" as part of a sadistic choice.
• Sadistic Choice: He'll either make the presidents watch Robot Chicken or turn them into a human centipede if his demands aren't met.
• Slasher Smile: Though unlike his father, he is capable of changing expression.
• Stealth Pun: He scolds his father for his "lack of vision" after cutting his remaining organic eye.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Looks just like his father, but younger and with slightly rounder features.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite being shown to take the Mad Scientist's place on the chair at the end of the episode, he is never seen again in either credits or sketches.
• Wild Hair: Like Father, Like Son.

Other original characters:

Nerd

"That would be shooo coool..."

Voiced by: Seth Green

A bucktoothed, bespectacled fanboy of all things geek. Aside from the titular Chicken, he is the show's most recurring character.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer:
  • To his Celeb Crush Scarlett Johansson, and really, any female he takes interest in.
  • In a non-romantic way, he's also this to George Lucas and George R. R. Martin.
• All Just a Dream: All his visits to established franchises can be counted as this, even when it is not explicitly stated. It also works well to discard Negative Continuity issues.
  • He actually catches on from "The Nerd in Oz" and begins altering his dreams to make them cooler or have a Dream Within a Dream that is more to his liking.
• All of the Other Reindeer: Everyone he knows or meets treats him with contempt.
• All There in the Manual: His real name is apparently Arthur Kensington, Jr.
• Alternate Universe: When All Just a Dream won't just cut his sketches.
• And I Must Scream: After being revived as a cyborg in Season 10, Chicken and Mad Scientist force him through the same torture both of them suffered before.
• Attractive Bent-Gender: Several instances. In "Spring of the Drowned Girl", every man seems to find him hot after he is turned into a woman, even though he is still the same from the neck up. In "Quantum Leap Nerd", his female form is pounded from behind by Munson while he says "I think I love you!", even though his body didn't become as well figured as in the former. And we can only speculate what Khal Drogo thought when he called him a "girl" and recruited him to be his wife's handmaiden.
• Author Avatar: In some sketches, he'll serve as this when he gets very critical of the show being parodied that he's in. The most notable examples are the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider and Doctor Who.
• Back from the Dead: After dying doing a stunt to get the show renewed at the end of Season 9, both Chicken and the Mad Scientist revive him as a cyborg just like them in the Season 10 intro.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: Anything he thinks would be "shooo coool" always turns not to be.
• Black Comedy Rape: Seems to fall victim to unwanted male attention quite often.
• Body Horror: The Cruel Twist Ending of "Spring of the Drowned Girl". It turns you into a girl like the one in Ranma ½ as he hoped, alright. But it is a morbidly obese girl with chronic flatulence because that was what the girl who drowned there was like in life.
• Butt-Monkey: Subject to all sorts of misfortunes in every episode he appears in.
• Celeb Crush: On Scarlett Johansson.
• Character Catchphrase: "I wish I was X / were in Y... that would be shooo coool..."
• Character Development: The Happy Death Day parody has him growing a spine and realizing that his insecurities are his own greatest enemy.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: In "Where is Mordor?", he is subjected to waterboarding by security forces who don't know about Mordor, but suspect it is in Pakistan.
• Comically Missing the Point: Where do we even begin?
  • He mistakes the White Witch's offer of Turkish Delight for sex, which is actually candy, and Yori from TRON as the topless girl from Caddyshack.
  • During his time on CW's Beauty and the Beast, he thinks he's on Disney's Beauty and the Beast
• Continuity Nod: In a rare case for a series built on Negative Continuity, when he meets Santa Claus in the 2017 Christmas special, he recalls meeting him in the previous special already.
• Cruel Twist Ending: Nearly all his appearances go extra-awry in the end.
• The Chew Toy: Subject to numerous misfortunes in every episode he appears in.
• Daydream Believer: Either that or he has narcholepsia and very well timed dreams.
• Deathbed Confession: At the end of "A Date with Scarlett", he confesses to his Celeb Crush turned lifelong wife Scarlett Johansson that he faked the fight with terrorists that made her fall in love with and marry him. "Scarlett" then inverts the trope by confessing that he is actually her (male) body double.
• Didn't Think This Through: Climbs up after the Grinch who stole his and everyone else's presents up Mt. Crumpet in his Santa onesie, which he regrets doing.

  Nerd: (exhausted) In hindsight, racing up this icy mountain in a onesie was a bad idea!

• Dream Within a Dream: The Nerd doesn't like that his dream took him to Team Knight Rider, so he sleeps in the dream (despite the car's warning that he can't do that) so he can be with David Hasselhoff in the original Knight Rider.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: He was called "Gary" once in his first sketch.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Despite having a real name, he is known as "The Nerd" or less commonly, "The Dork".
• Fanboy: Of every and anything nerd. From Star Wars to Knight Rider.
  • Hilariously deconstructed in the segment "Doctor Who meets the Nerd". The Nerd feels he should be interested in Doctor Who because it is "nerdy"; but being American, he has actually never watched it and admits he only knows about it from Pop-Cultural Osmosis. As soon as he is allowed into the TARDIS, he becomes bored and irritates the Doctor by comparing him to Snoopy.
• Fix Fic: In-universe, he roleplays a new Star Wars movie where Boba Fett is revealed to have survived and goes to Endor to slaughter the Ewoks and get some from Leia.
• Flynning: In his first sketch, "A Date with Scarlett", he pretends to fight terrorists to impress Scarlett Johansson.
• The Fool: Even leaving his nerdiness aside, he is a very naive and sometimes outright childish individual.
• Genre Savvy: Knows all the cliches and tropes of the odd situations he finds himself in.
• Girl on Girl Is Hot: Summons a construct of Selena Gomez from Abin Sur's Green Lantern Ring to protect him from Kilowog, who retaliates with a woman construct from his Green Lantern Ring that eventually devolves into kissing each other.

  Kilowog: Make them kiss.

  Nerd: Why, yes, it is hot in here!

• Goofy Buckteeth: They only add to his dorky appearance.
• "Groundhog Day" Loop: Falls victim to this in a Happy Death Day parody, which is revealed to be the work of a Reality Warper Talking Animal toucan who also claims responsibility for cursing Bill Murray in the original Groundhog Day.
• Hidden Depths:
  • The sketch "Dorky Dancer" is just about him showing his dance moves. YMMV if they are impressive or pitiable.
  • "The Nerd Goes to Westworld" shows the Nerd breaking several sexbots after having sex with them nonstop for weeks. He may not know "how sex works" but he has stamina.
• I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!:
  • In "The Lion, the Witch, and the Locker", he blindly converts to the White Witch's side when she shows him her boobs.
  • In "Spring of the Drowned Girl", he day-dreams about getting stuff for free by showing his boobs to people. He calls this his "newfound superpowers".
• Interrogated for Nothing: In "Where is Mordor?", he accidentally hacks a nuclear silo and bombs Canada while trying to roleplay The Lord of the Rings online. He is immediately "renditioned" by security forces and waterboarded while being aggressively asked who "the High Priestess" is and the location of Mordor. The Nerd then yells that he will say anything the interrogator wants and he is encouraged to say Mordor is in Pakistan.
• Knee-capping: Subverted. While dreaming of being Green Arrow's Kid Sidekick in "The Nerd on the CW", Green Arrow tells him to stop shooting Mooks on the head and to just incapacitate them by shooting them elsewhere. The Nerd shoots one on the leg, who promptly bleeds out to death from having his femoral artery ruptured.
• Know-Nothing Know-It-All: After his sexual advice to Daenerys in "Game of Pixilated Naughty Parts" has disastrous consequences, he flatly admits he doesn't know "how sex works".
• Know When to Fold Them: He is the last character faced by the Chicken during his rampage in "The Rescue". While he shows some attempt to fight it, he immediately drops it and just opens the door to the Mad Scientist Laboratory for him. As a result, he is one of the few minions of the Mad Scientist's to survive the rampage unscathed.
• Lovable Coward: He drops any intention of fighting the Chicken before antagonizing it, and screams "like nails on chalkboard" after putting on Green Lantern's ring.
• Mister Seahorse: At the end of "The Nerd on The CW", he dreams he is pregnant, much to his confusion because he is a virgin (and male).
• Negative Continuity: At work when All Just a Dream and Alternate Universe don't clearly apply. He's even been killed by Matthew Senreich in "Robot Chicken Telethon" and brought back as a zombie in the following sketch "Seth's Revenge", only to appear as normal in his next episode.
• Nerdy Nasalness: The Nerd, among other stereotypical nerd traits, speaks with a very nasal voice.
• Off with His Head!: During the Narnia parody, he slices off Aslan's head in the blink of an eye and even gets some sweet revenge on the bully who put him in the locker.
• Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Gives one before shoving the Jim Carrey Grinch off Mt. Crumpet.

  Nerd: You know what? Keep my stuff! I'm about to give myself the best Christmas present of all time!

• Prison Rape: At the end of "Where is Mordor?", he is thrown in prison with a cellmate who wants to make him "his" 'High Priestess'.
• Real After All: The "Spring of the Drowned Girl" can actually turn you into a girl, but not in the kind of girl the Nerd imagines.
• Rescue Sex: In "A Date with Scarlett", Scarlett Johansson falls in love and marries him after he stages rescuing her from fake terrorists.
• Santa Clausmas: His various holiday specials have nothing to do with religion.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: He lets out a long scream when Abin Sur's Green Lantern Ring takes him to the Guardians of the Universe, which resumes when Appa Ali Apsa tells him that he will be trained by Kilowog in using the Ring.

  Ganthet: (annoyed) Ohh, it's like scratching a chalkboard against another chalkboard.

• Series Mascot: He is the most recognizable of the series's characters along with the Chicken. But unlike the Chicken, he is mostly featured in the sketches proper rather than the opening credits.
• Serious Business: Because of his geekishness, he has trouble weighting the importance of things. For example, it takes him a lot of time to choose between a once-in-alifetime date with his Celeb Crush Scarlett Johansson and a GameBoy Advance. In a Distant Finale, he tells his son that the day of his birth was not even close in happiness to the one he dressed as a Tauntaun and convinced George Lucas to ride him.
• Sex God: As told in Hidden Depths entry, when the Nerd went to Westworld, he ended up delaying his journey due to spending two weeks having non-stop sex with one of the sexbots, then did it again for another two weeks in a orgy with multiple robot prostitutes. Both times doing it to the point of utterly breaking them, and he only finally stopped the first time because he was interrupted, and the second time because he was previously tricked into a quest for a promised prize (which was, of course, a "sexy prize").
• Sleepy Head: Falls asleep at the drop of the hat to experience his nerdy dreams. He eventually starts to think he might be narcoleptic.
• Something Else Also Rises: In "Game of Pixilated Naughty Parts", he uses the HBO logo to hide his erection. Afterward, it rises and lowers accordingly.
• Sole Survivor: He's the only one that the Robot Chicken meets in the 100th episode special who isn't slaughtered or fought, given that he just politely let him into the Mad Scientist's room.
• Speech Impediment: He shlursh his S's, giving him a voice similar to Sid from Ice Age.
• Stereotypical Nerd: For a character named Nerd, naturally. He has slicked down and parted hair, wears big Nerd Glasses, has giant ears and buckteeth, speaks with Nerdy Nasalness, and primarily wears an oversized button down shirt and tie. He's a Fanboy of anything associated with nerds like Star Trek and is an Abhorrent Admirer to Scarlett Johansson.
• Strong Family Resemblance:
  • His son, shown at the Distant Finale of "A Date with Scarlett" and "George Lucas at the Convention", is exactly like him but younger. He wears the same glasses even as a newborn.
  • His mother is just like him, except female and slightly older (and arguably even more nerdy). His father doesn't look much like him but has the same hair and glasses.
• Sudden Name Change: He's referred to in the Scarlett Johansson sketch as "Gary" but he would never be called that again. His name was later retconned to "Arthur Kensington Jr.", not that he's ever called by that name either.
• Teeny Weenie: His small penis is made fun of by two girls in "Greatest American Nerd".
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: In-universe. He hates the Knight Rider sequel because of all the changes from the original, the live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, and worries about how the new Star Wars trilogy will ruin the series.
• Too Dumb to Live: His wife reveals he was a man all along in his deathbed, leading him to understand only then why "she" had a penis (and not a small one).
• Took a Level in Badass: Realizing that he is in a dream, he changes the original The Wizard of Oz supporting characters to be The Crow (1994) (as the Scarecrow), Optimus Prime (as the Tin Woodsman), and Lion-O (as the Cowardly Lion), then they take the Wicked Witch's castle by assault and defeat her and the monkeys under the Nerd's lead.
• Unexplained Recovery: A rare example within the same sketch in "Greatest American Nerd". The Nerd jumps from a roof and seemingly falls to his death. After that, his body is picked by Bill Maxwell and used for all sorts of stunts until he abandons it and the Aliens retrieve the suit from him, leaving him naked. Two neighbor girls pass by and make fun of his tiny penis. Then the Nerd wakes up with no apparent ill effects (shame aside).
• Vague Age: Some sketches portray him as a high schooler, others in college. The Unicorn, who otherwise shows interest in young boys and teenagers, is aroused by him. In a Christmas special, he learns that Santa Claus is his real dad. His mom actually fathered him with the Krampus, who she met at a college debate in 2002. The episode was released in 2013; in other words, the Nerd was eleven at the time... which was several years after his introduction.
• Waxing Lyrical: Sings his own version of Jingle Bells in How the Nerd Saved Christmas.

  Nerd: Jingle Bells, Mom's in tears (Finds the living room empty) What is going on?

• Who Writes This Crap?!: In "Beginning Season 5", he criticizes the show's decision to parody the Normandy scene in Saving Private Ryan as "unoriginal"... only to immediately parody the Bullet Time scene in The Matrix.
• Worth It: Whispers to the White Witch that exact phrase when he and the Unicorn are in the principal's office for him beheading the bully.

Humping Robot

KA-CHUNK-KA-CHUNK-KA-CHUNK...

Voiced by: N/A

A non-talking iron humanoid robot that was introduced humping a washing machine in a sketch, either because he was programmed to or because he actually finds it arousing. It has since humped lots of different objects.

---

• Accidental Hero: His humping a clausured church's bell in "Humping Robot Saves Christmas" ends... doing pretty much that.
• Exact Words: In "Battlehump", the scientists theorize that "hump" must mean something different in the robots language because of their repeated announcement that they want to hump earthlings. However, they really meant humping.
• Giant Mook: In "Battlehump", several humping robots invade Earth including a giant one.
• Major Injury Underreaction: Gets to play the part of the one-armed soldier in a Saving Private Ryan spoof... except he humps his own severed arm.
• Nuclear Option: The giant humping robot is lured to a nuclear silo disguised as an asscrack and destroyed.
• Off with His Head!: Loses his head once in a while. Senreich destroys it with a shotgun in "Robot Chicken Telethon", while the Chicken uses a powerful electric charge from his own body to obliterate it.
• Overly Long Gag: The original gag occupied four segments in a single episode, during which the robot did nothing but hump the moving washing machine. This was back when sketches were usually very short.
• Prison Rape: While working as a security guard in Arkham Asylum, he rapes The Penguin in his cell.
• Sexbot: He is gifted to the Nerd by the Westworld crew in exchange for leaving the park and stop costing them millions in destroyed robots. The Nerd doesn't seem to mind.
• The Speechless: He doesn't speak, only humps.
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Given a blonde wig and makeup by the Westworld technicians to pass it as female.
• Unexplained Recovery: He is brought back after being decapitated, presumably because he was repaired in the meantime. And yet "Seth's Revenge" showed a tombstone to the then recently destroyed robot in a cemetery, so maybe he is replaced instead, like it happens to the squirrels in Robot Chicken's version of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
  • "Battlehump" reveals that there are many humping robots indeed, and that they are invading Earth to hump everyone.

Aliens

"Damnit, damnit, damnit!"

Voiced by: Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, and Adam Talbot

A race of wacky grey aliens that appear whenever the plot demands aliens not from an established franchise.

---

• Alien Abduction: They perform and also fall victim to this.
• Alien Blood: They have green blood.
• All Just a Dream: "Smallville Crash Site" is actually a story told by Jonathan Kent to a young Superman.
• Anal Probing:
  • Parodied in "Alien Abduction Reversal", where rednecks abduct an unsuspecting alien to probe his anus For Science!. They also want him to squeal like a little piggy during the procedure.
  • Further Played for Laughs in "A PR Nightmare", which reveals that Anal Probing is something that happened only once but the Aliens will never be allowed to forget it. One alien explicitly says the usual procedure is non-invasive.
• Benevolent Alien Invasion: In "The Twist", they invade M. Night Shyamalan's home to ask him for sugar to make some food for him and his family. What a tweest!
• Black Comedy Rape: What Anal Probing actually is. A single alien got "curious" one day and created a PR nightmare.
• Character Catchphrase: "Damnit, damnit, damnit!!"
• Curbstomp Battle: Subjected to them by Jonathan Kent and the Chicken.
• Dance Party Ending: They dance the twist at the end of "The Twist". What a tweest!
• Flaying Alive: Jonathan Kent claims to have skinned one alive with a single hand.
• Flying Saucer: Their vehicle of choice.
• The Greys: Grey colored and with the typical Grey head.
• Groin Attack: One gets his groin repeatedly kicked by Jonathan Kent.
• Historical In-Joke: They switched the original Michael Jackson for the white one in the aftermath of his burning hair incident, as part of some unexplained plot to take over Earth.
• Humanoid Aliens: Unlike most depictions of The Greys, they have human-like size and proportions from the neck down.
• Lunarians: They live on the Moon, either because they originate there or colonized it in the past.
• Non-Malicious Monster: The Flying Saucer attack in "Unplanned Invasion" is actually one Alien taking his first driving class.
• Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Manny of the usual Alien tropes turn to be well-intentioned (though not all).
• Off with His Head!: One gets decapitated by the Chicken during his rescue of his wife.
• Once Done, Never Forgotten: Anal Probing was something that one weird alien (or two) did once without authorization but humans now believe the Aliens do all the time.
• Persecution Flip: "Alien Abduction Reversal" has rednecks travelling on spacefaring pickup trucks and bringing unsuspecting aliens to Earth with the intention of probing their anus and making them squeal.
• To Serve Man: After stating their intention to serve him, Shyamalan asks if they mean to cook him and his family and what a great twist that would be. They appear to be offended by the question... but don't correct him.

Daniel a.k.a. "Gyro-Robo"

"I won't even... dignify this scene with my analysis."

Voiced by: Seth Green

Another nerd, this time more negative minded. He has an online show where he does nothing but complain about things Robot Chicken sketches get wrong.

---

• Atrocious Alias: He credits insisting on "Gyro-Robo" as being why he is still a virgin. He even directly calls it causation, not correlation.
• Basement-Dweller: Shown to spend too much time in his room, judging by the half eaten pizza and empty containers of soda and Chinese food.
• Bring Me My Brown Pants: Pisses himself when the Chicken gives him a Death Glare. He's lucky that's all he got compared to most everyone else.
• Bulletproof Human Shield: Downplayed in the Saving Private Ryan sketch, where he uses Green and Senreich's bodies as cover.
• Butt-Monkey: In contrast to the other Nerd, who sometimes gets things go his way, Daniel is a complete failure.
• Caught with Your Pants Down: His reaction to the sketch about masturbating Gobots implies that someone walked in on him while he was jacking off in the bathroom.
• Dirty Coward: In "The Rescue", he approaches the Chicken to scold him for plagiarizing the fight from The Protector, only to run away and piss in a potted plant when the Chicken lands his eyes on him.
• Demoted to Extra: He's become largely redundant with the other Nerd being pushed back to High School and becoming negative about changes to his favorite franchises, so it's not a surprise that he is seen a lot less and when he appears, it is as a supporting character in the other Nerd's sketches, instead of starring in his own (where he used to lead his own troupe of nerds).
• Do Not Adjust Your Set: He pirates the transmission of Robot Chicken in his first sketch to expose his critique.
• It's All About Me: His complaints to Robot Chicken are just about his own sentiments being hurt and not the objective quality of the sketch.
• Momma's Boy: He lives with his mom and she babies him.
• Nerds Are Virgins: Notes he is still a virgin in season 11 and attributes it to his Gyro-Robo nickname.
• Prematurely Bald: Despite being a teenager, he is bald under his cap and grows his remaining hair long to disguise it.
• Serious Business: He hates Gobots being misrepresented.
• Speech Impediment: He shlursh his S's like the other Nerd, but sounds somewhat fatter. This might be related to him producing excess saliva in "Bad Boy meets Damaged Girl with Daddy Issues". He also pronounces his R's like G's sometimes.
• This Loser Is You: Yes. If you complain about shows parodied in Robot Chicken the wrong way, you are a fat, Prematurely Bald, masturbating Momma's Boy who is bullied at school. You are welcome.

Bloopers Host

"Are you ready for more of those hilarious bloopers?!"

Voiced by: Jamie Kaler

The mentally disturbed host of Bloopers!, an America's Funniest Home Videos-style show.

---

• Big "NO!": In response to the incident in By "No", I Mean "Yes".
• By "No", I Mean "Yes": While being held in a dungeon by a dictator, he is told that he'll soon be free. To watch his movies-on-demand service. Which only carries Christmas with the Kranks.
• Comedic Sociopathy: The Bloopers! segments are overhelmingly violent and cruel, even by the show's standards.
• Cruel Mercy: In "The Rescue", he is surprised to be saved from committing suicide by hanging by the Chicken, only to have his head smashed in.
• Driven to Suicide: He attempts suicide at the end of every Bloopers! program.
• Excited Kids' Show Host: Technically not a kids show, but he fits the trope to a T.
• Law of Inverse Fertility: He impregnated the first girl he ever had sex with, resulting in a daughter who got herself impregnated at 13.
• Hilariously Abusive Childhood: In "Personal Bloopers!", he is shown being chased and hit with a belt by his father when he was a child.
• Hope Spot:
  • Told about being free soon... free to watch one movie while still in the dungeon.
  • In "The Rescue", he screams "My life has value after all!" Then the Chicken kills him.
• Imaginary Friend: "Personal Bloopers!" ends with The Reveal that his live audience only exists in his mind.
• No Name Given: Never named on screen or otherwise.
• Off with His Head!: He gets his head blown off with a shotgun by Senreich in "Robot Chicken Telethon" and his head smashed in by the Chicken in "The Rescue".
• They Killed Kenny Again: He commits suicide or is killed in most sketches he is in, only to appear again like nothing happened.
• Toilet Humor: During his vacation in Mexico, he was hit with a massive diarrhea that made him defecate until he destroyed the toilet and his ass.
  "My asshole is still fifty percent scar tissue!"
• Stepford Smiler: He has a massive grin and seems happy when he is on camera, but he is actually depressively suicidal.

Unicorn

"A unicorn's just a horse who's a little more horny than usual."

Voiced by: George Lowe

A Depraved Homosexual unicorn from a magical land, always craving sex with a young male human.

---

• Ass Shove: He is forcefully shoved long objects up his ass twice. Of course he thinks not really bad about it.
• Bestiality Is Depraved: He is sexually depraved and he is only interested in having sex with humans.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: In "The Lion, the Witch, and the Locker", he winks to the camera after saying that he'd like to "cross swords" with the Nerd.
• Decapitation Presentation: The Nerd is seen pulling his decapitated head by the horn in the Saving Private Ryan spoof.
• Depraved Homosexual: A sex addict who is only attracted to young human males.
• Destination Defenestration: In "The Rescue", the Chicken throws him out a glass window of the castle.
• Double Entendre: He makes constant ones, always of a sexual nature.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Has limits to how far he'll go to pressure someone into having sex with him, and claims that he'd never willingly give his true friends STDs.
• Major Injury Underreaction:
  • Having some long object forcefully shoved up his ass either "only makes him stronger" or is "not half bad, actually" (in the case of his own severed horn).
  • When he replaces the horse in The Walking Dead, he enjoys being eaten and encourages the zombies to continue.
• Mythology Gag: A literal one. In the legend, unicorns were naturally drawn to the 'purity' of virgins... which the Nerd is.
• Non-Malicious Monster: In "The Double-Edged Horn", it is revealed that the teenage boy he was going to apparently rape had actually agreed to it: he intended to film the encounter and sell copies to pay for college. On the other hand, he kills several boys in "Unicorn Jockey" with STDs after pressuring them into sex in exchange for winning horse races... and he clearly knew that would happen.
• Odd Friendship: Has one with the Nerd, even allowing him to ride on him while they slay Aslan for the White Witch.
• Rhino Rampage: Fridge Logic aside, he can, and will use his horn as a weapon.
• Something Else Also Rises: He draws pleasure from having his horn "polished". The procedure climaxes in him producing "unicorn mayonnaise" (somehow).
• Summoning Ritual: In "The Double-Edged Horn", he is summoned by a teenage girl opening her unicorn-themed diary after midnight (something the Gypsy that sold the book to her told her not to do).
• Talking Animal: He talks and has human intellect, but is completely equine otherwise.
• Too Kinky to Torture: You can't harm him by shoving objects up his ass, no matter how big. And he actually enjoys being eaten.
• Uncertain Doom: The Chicken throws him off a window, but it isn't shown if it was tall enough for a Disney Villain Death.
• Unicorn: He is one.
• Verbal Tic: Due to his equine nature, he tends to draw his I's and E's when he talks.

Gummy Bear

"I'm so happy 'cause I'm a gummy bear, gummy bear!^note AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Voiced by: Michelle Trachtenberg

An animated, sentient gummy bear that is doomed to scream in pain from stepping on a bear trap in every sketch she's in.

---

• Autocannibalism: In her first sketch, she cuts her trapped foot by eating her own flesh — which she notes, is delicious.
• Blood-Splattered Innocents: In the Saving Private Ryan she spoofs, she gets almost completely covered in Lindsay Lohan's blood.
• Bulletproof Human Shield: Involuntary version in the aforementioned sketch, where Lindsay Lohan soaks up all the bullets, resulting in the Gummy Bear behind her being shocked but completely unharmed.
• Cute, but Cacophonic: As cute as she is literally sweet, but a real screamer, especially whenever she is caught in a bear trap. Pretty justified.
• Dark Reprise: In "The Rescue", she changes her tune to "I'm so happy 'cause you're gonna die, GONNA DIE!"
• Dirty Coward: She waits for and attacks the Chicken, but as soon as he gets the upper hand, she cries out for him to stop.
• Expository Theme Tune: Her song, where she is states that she is happy for being a gummy bear (which she is).
• Eye Scream: The Chicken peaks her eyes out before throwing her in the bear traps she's placed for the Chicken.
• Karmic Death: She sets five bear traps for the Chicken, who avoids them successfully and throws the Gummy Bear in one. The Gummy Bear then activates all traps one by one, until only its screaming head is left.
• Life-or-Limb Decision: In the first sketch, the Gummy Bear resolves to amputate her trapped foot as her only way to escape.
• Major Injury Underreaction: Although she screams a lot when falling into a trap, she doesn't seem to mind biting off her foot and actually finds her flesh delicious.
• Running Gag: She steps in at least one bear trap in every sketch she's in.
• Sequel Escalation: In her first sketch, she step on two bear traps and suffered one amputation. In "The Rescue", she is thrown by the Chicken on to a trap and ends activating five of them in quick succession, losing each of her limbs and her torso until she is reduced to her screaming head.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: In "The Rescue", where she acts outright villainous, lies the bear traps for herself intending to hurt the Chicken with them, and boasts that she's happy because he is going to die.
• Unexplained Recovery: She's always back to full and unharmed after every sketch. She might have some regenerative powers, or maybe she's replaced by another gummy bear. Or it could be a combination of Negative Continuity and Rule Offunny.

Munson

"Yeah, baby! lntroducing King Kickass! Everyone who plays this queer game has two vaginas. Yeah Three, two, one, awesome!"

Voiced by: Breckin Meyer

A jerkish teenager that bullies the nerds, and specially Daniel.

---

• All Girls Want Bad Boys: Lindsay Lohan calls him one, and is instantly attracted to him.
• Barbaric Bully: He invades Daniel's home whenever he wants and insults and hits him while in there.
• Bridal Carry: Carries Lohan like this after falling in Love at First Sight with her.
• Dirty Coward: Seen running away screaming as soon as the Chicken comes near him in "The Rescue".
• Fourth-Date Marriage: Munson is shown living with Lohan and to have made her pregnant at the end of their sketch.
• Groin Attack: Done to an alien in the season four finale.
• Karma Houdini: He suffers no retribution until the sketch "Zombie Love", which probably happens in an Alternate Universe anyway.
• My Nayme Is: Word of God is that his name is Munson, not Manson.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: A different jerk bullies Daniel and the other Nerd in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Locker".
• Third-Person Person: Sometimes refers to himself as "Munzie" and "King Kickass".
• Too Dumb to Live: During a Zombie Apocalypse, Munson finds himself on the school's rooftop with an assault rifle. What does he do? Shoot Daniel mom's car until he drops the rifle. And when he finds himself handcuffed to a pipe and unarmed, with zombies at the door, but the Nerds hand him a handsaw? Why, throw the handsaw at Daniel mom's car, then ask for another one.

Pablo Rodríguez

"There's 283 American dollars we won't see again."

Voiced by: N/A

A Mexican Cyborg nicknamed "The Six Million Peso Man".

---

• The Artifact: His name and his cyborg nature are not referenced past his first episode.
• Cyborg: Like the The Six Million Dollar Man, but Mexican.
• Demoted to Extra: He is reduced to filling crowd scenes in his following episodes.
• Dynamic Entry: In "The Rescue", he manages to briefly get the drop on the Chicken when he's about to face off with three others via swinging kick and they gang up on him together, but it doesn't last long before the Chicken recovers and kicks all of them to the curb.
• Magnificent Moustaches of Mexico: His black moustache occupies about a quarter of his face, obscuring his mouth.
• Mundane Utility: After his Refusal of the Call, he uses his Super-Speed to cross the American border and his Super-Strength to throw orange packages.
• Negative Continuity: He is the only member of the Telethon who survives Senreich's rampage: the shotgun blast knocks his sombrero out first, then he blocks a new shot to his head at the cost of his hand. Nevertheless, he also appears zombified in the following sketch, "Seth's Revenge" (and with both of his hands).
• Prop Recycling: The doll is reused as "Salvador", the villain in a Buddy Cop Show spoof starring Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Phil. Since Salvador is Italian, it is clear that he cannot be the same guy.
• Refusal of the Call: Whatever the Mexican scientists wanted him for, it was clearly not to cross illegally to the United States.
• Ridiculous Exchange Rates: According to the sketch, six million Mexican pesos are equivalent to 283 American dollars^note They are actually about $317,000 as of 2019.
• South of the Border: He is introduced as a "Mexican test pilot" while the image shows him crashing into a cactus while riding a donkey. He has a magnificent moustache and wears a poncho and a giant sombrero. He uses his Super-Strength to open a taco, jump the border fence, and sell oranges as an illegal immigrant. He sleeps on the street at any given hour, under his sombrero and with his back against the wall. At least, none of the other Mexican characters in the sketch look so ridiculously stereotypical.
• Super-Speed and Super-Strength: Gained both with his bionic conversion.
• The Speechless: He never speaks.

Sunshine Cowboy

"Ah!"

Voiced by: N/A

A cowboy in summer vacation wear that is shot every time he appears on screen.

---

• Badass Bandolier: Two of them, over each shoulder.
• Boom, Headshot!: He appears in three sketches, in two he is shot through the head.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: The third time, he shoots himself with his own gun.
• Hope Spot: In "The Rescue", he sighs in relief when the Chicken walks past him... but is then shot by the Chicken.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Both credited and addressed as Sunshine Cowboy.
• Red Shirt: Introduced as a new guy in "Beginning Season Five", he is the first to be shot before leaving the landing raft.
• The Speechless: He probably can speak, but is shot before he can say more than a syllable.
• They Killed Kenny Again: He is shot as a Running Gag, and he dies more times than he survives.

Characters added to existing franchises:

Composite Santa

"My only weakness!"

Voiced by: Christian Slater

A bizarre, murderously insane individual, who is half-Santa Claus on one side and half-snowman on the other.

---

• Anachronism Stew: He was created from DNA samples in The '50s, even though cloning from adult animals wasn't accomplished until The '90s.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", he steals Santa's sled, reindeer, and pants.
• Artificial Human: He was created in a laboratory by a Mad Scientist.
• Ax-Crazy: The rare event is when he doesn't try to murder someone.
• Bad Santa: Half Bad Santa, half Bad Snowman.
• Body Horror: He is half Santa Claus and half Snowman, in case you didn't notice.
• Character Catchphrase: "____! My only weakness!"
• Combat Pragmatist: In "The Rescue", he's one of the only characters able to land more than a single hit on The Chicken, which he manages by surprise attack from the air. It doesn't last long, however, as The Chicken grabs a bat in a lull and beats him senseless with it.
• Deadly Euphemism: Crossing with Metaphorically True. He says he has "five good reasons" for a reindeer to shut up: the five bullets he empties on it next.
• Decoy Leader: He appears to be the Big Bad of "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas" as he bosses the Nutcracker and the Little Drummer Boy, but he is actually taking orders from Mrs. Claus.
• Eat the Summoner: The first thing he did after being brought to life was shoot the Mad Scientist who created him and the two Mooks who helped retrieve his DNA.
• Escaped from the Lab: After murdering his way out.
• Evil Knockoff: Of Santa Claus. And that's considering Santa Claus isn't a completely morally upstanding individual in Robot Chicken.
• Evil Laugh: An evil-sounding version of Santa's "Ho, Ho, Ho!"
• Gone Horribly Wrong: The Mad Scientist who created him thought he would make Christianity become the world's only religion by making Christmastime as alluring as possible.
• I'm Melting!: He is half snow, so it only takes Goku one Kame-hame-ha to heat his snow part over 32 Fahrenheit and melt it. Stepping on one foot of seawater will also do it.
• Mirror Monster: He can be summoned by repeating "Ho, Ho, Ho" before a mirror. Doesn't end well for the summoner.
• Shrouded in Myth: Goku doesn't even know the abilities of Composite Santa, just that he "freaks (him) right the fuck out".
• Trigger-Happy: He is constantly shooting people and seems to favor the Thompson submachine gun.
• Uncanny Valley: In-universe. It is clearly his non-human appearance that freaks out Goku.
• Unexplained Recovery: He comes back every time after he is destroyed, but being made of snow, it's likely that he can regenerate to an extent and thus doesn't need to invoke Negative Continuity.
• Ungrateful Bastard: He was brought to life and given milk and cookies. His instant reaction was to murder the very people responsible.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Parodied. He is defeated in every segment he appears, always by completely different means (temperatures over 32 Fahrenheit, water, baseball bats, bullets, wood). After that, he'll always die saying "No! [Item used to defeat me], my only weakness!"
• Would Hurt a Child: He kills countless by different means - but mostly shooting and bombing.
• X Meets Y: In-universe. The Mad Scientist who created him wanted a hybrid of Santa and Frosty the Snowman, with the powers of both.

Bitch Pudding

"BLAM! You all get a taste of the Bitch Pudding!"

Voiced by: Katee Sackhoff

A foulmouthed, crass denizen of Strawberry Land.

---

• Alternate Universe: The later sketches put her in a completely different world without reference to Strawberry Land or any implication of it existing in the setting. For example, she replaces Abigail in a spoof of The Crucible, and plays a Cowboy Cop in a Buddy Cop Show parody titled "Murder, She Bitched."
• Alpha Bitch: "Bitch" is literally in her name. Pretty much speaks for itself.
• Anti-Heroine: She reluctantly becomes one for the Schlorps in the "Bitch Pudding Special". Unfortunately, by that point nearly all Schlorps are dead. Repeats again in "Murder, She Bitched", which recasts her as a Cowboy Cop.
• The Artifact: Her name, a reference to her origin as a parodic Strawberry Shortcake character, in sketches that make no reference to it.
• Ascended Extra: From a one-off gag in a sketch about butt-sex, to recurring character with her own episode.
• Bait-and-Switch:
  • In "Bitch Pudding Special", all the inhabitants of Pastryville expect the worst when she takes the stand to speak in a funeral, but she gives a beautiful eulogy. As soon as everyone is relieved, however, she starts insulting the deceased and pretends fucking her casket.
  • In "Murder, She Bitched", she replies to her partner's comment that she needs a warrant to enter a place by yelling "Here's my warrant!" and kicking the door down. After that, she clarifies that she has an actual warrant and pulls it out from her pocket.
• Berserk Button: She doesn't like being called stupid, as shown in The Crucible parody.
• Bland-Name Product: Used all over the "Bitch Pudding Special" (Pastryville for Strawberry Land, Schlorps for Smurfs, etc), which hints to its nature as a Poorly Disguised Pilot for a Bitch Pudding Spin-Off.
• Buddy Cop Show: The sketch "Murder, She Bitched" casts her as a Cowboy Cop partnered with a By-the-Book Cop played by Ernie Hudson.
• Card-Carrying Jerkass: She has "Bitch" as her first name, as well as brazenly antagonizing other with glee.
• Character Catchphrase:
  • "BLAM!", usually after sassing someone.
  • Later on, she starts singing a sarcastic "DA-DA-DA-DAAAAH!", often before yelling: "Bitch Pudding!"
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Most of her things are yellow, including her clothes and her house.
• Comically Missing the Point: In "Season of the Bitch... Pudding". When a poltergeist stacks all the kitchen chairs over the table, she throws them to the ground and brags about how she ruined the poltergeist's "art". The exasperated poltergeist says that it was not supposed to be art, it was supposed to scare her.
• Cowboy Cop: Plays one in "Murder, She Bitched."
• Curbstomp Battle: On the Squirrel Wizard in "Bitch Pudding Special". Except... it's not actually the Squirrel Wizard, but his innocent "partner".
• Dark Action Girl: The only denizen of Pastryville that is not afraid to get in a fight.
• Deadpan Snarker: She disses snark like there is no tomorrow.
• Decoy Getaway: She switches clothes with a guy to escape execution in "Bitch Pudding's The Crucible.
• Deliberately Monochrome: The Psycho parody starring her is in black and white, of course. Inverted at the end, when everything remains in black and white except her eye watching from a hole in the wall.
• Disney Villain Death: She is thrown off the railing by the Chicken in "The Rescue".
• Evil Counterpart: To Strawberry Shortcake.
• Flanderization: In her first appearance, she's mildly sassy. She eventually evolved into a typhoon of rudeness and profanity.
• The "Fun" in "Funeral": "Bitch Pudding Special" opens with a funeral she was purposely left out of, and which she proceeds to crash.
• Gingerbread House: Like all houses in Strawberry Land, her house resembles a dessert. In this case, a yellow pudding.
• The Hunter Becomes the Hunted/No-Sell: Attacking or trying to scare her is a very bad idea. She makes a poltergeist and Norman Bates flee, among others.
• Hypocritical Humor: When brought to trial for "assaulting a 94-year old man", she defends herself saying, "he sassed me!"
• Ignored Epiphany: Played with in "Bitch Pudding Special". It takes her forever to bring herself to save the Schlorps from the furious Squirrel Wizard. By that point, they are all but wiped out completely.
• Jerkass: She gratuitously antagonizes the other inhabitants of Strawberry Land, who have varying tolerance to her antics.
• Magical Nanny: Figuratively becomes one to the Von Trapp family from The Sound of Music; despite her typically rude behavior, she effortlessly cheers up the children and wins the Captain's heart, to her own surprise.
• Meaningful Name: Acts like a total diva, bully and antagonist to everyone. Her first name isn't "Bitch" for nothing.
• More Dakka: At the end of "Bitch Pudding Special", she pulls out 'Ol Painless and massacres the inhabitants of Pastryville.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: Capable of dissing a hurricane of profanity like there is no tomorrow.
• Negative Continuity: She has her feet blown off in "Beginning Season 5" and dies in "The Rescue", only to appear again with no ill effects.
• The Nicknamer: She often refuses to call others by their real names.
• Non-Standard Character Design: She has fully detailed eyes instead of Black Bead Eyes to set her apart from the other Strawberry Shortcake characters.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: She fools Norman Bates into believing that she is his mother after putting on her dress and a wig. He catches on only because Bitch makes him smash his teticles in a different day of the week.
• Poorly Disguised Pilot: The "Bitch Pudding Special", the only one not devoted to an established franchise, replaces all references to Strawberry Land with "Pastryville" and has "Schlorps" at war with a Squirrel Wizard instead of Smurfs with Gargamel.
• Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: In her special, the fed-up denizens of Pastryville arrange to have her thrown in a volcano. She escapes and returns to see the whole town having a party to celebrate her murder.
• Serious Business: In The Crucible parody, she takes personal offense to a man claiming the bonfire party in the woods was just "stupid girls playing". The man was trying to protect his daughter from being accussed of witchcraft. But because Bitch Pudding was there and doesn't want to be called stupid, she claims that the man's daughter was having sex with the Devil.
• Slasher Smile: She smiles to the camera, covered in the blood of a man she just murdered, in the opening montage of "Murder, She Bitched".
• Spear Counterpart: Has a male number in "Richard Gravy", someone just as obnoxious and selfish as her who she loves and forms a Slap-Slap-Kiss relationship with.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: In the The Crucible parody, when asked what the girls were doing in the woods (a sexualized bonfire party), she mutters a little, very fake sounding "Nothing".
• Third-Person Person: Downplayed. Only sometimes she introduces herself by saying "Bitch Pudding" or "the Bitch Pudding".
• Token Evil Team Mate: Of the Strawberry Landers.
• Took a Level in Badass: She is the only character along with the Mad Scientist to put a real fight against the Chicken. She had not displayed any fighting powers before that sketch.
• Villainous Rescue: She stops the poltergeist from going after Strawberry Shortcake. Not because she cares for Strawberry, but because she had picked a fight with the entity.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: In her special, the Pastryvillagers' plan to get rid of her involves knocking her out, tying her to a vulture (that also works as the town's post officer) and throwing her in an active volcano, alive. Presumably, the Pastryvillagers are too innocent to kill her themselves even after making the decision that she should be killed. She doesn't have such qualms.

Citizens of Pastryville/Strawberry Land

Voiced by: Various

Extras usually appearing in skits that feature Strawberry Shortcake or Bitch Pudding.

---

In general

• And There Was Much Rejoicing: In the "Bitch Pudding Special", the entire town of Pastryville celebrates with a giant festival when they think Bitch Pudding is dead.
• Ax-Crazy: Do not let their cute looks fool you. They're happy to resort to murder in any situation.
• Beware the Nice Ones: For a bunch of cute, innocent-looking villagers, they can get pretty violent.
  • In the "Bitch Pudding Special", the entire town attempts to murder Bitch Pudding after she gives a rude speech at Granny Grahamcrackers' funeral.
  • Strawberry and her friends set the Purple Pieman's house on fire and stone him to death after accusing him of taking Black Cherry Pie's black cherry (as in, the fruit).^explanation"Popping your black cherry" is a euphemism for losing your anal virginity.
  • Strawberry has Huckleberry Pie arrested and hanged after accusing him of having sex with the Purple Pieman (actually, the Pieman was having sex with an actual huckleberry pie and yelled out its name in a moment of ecstasy).
• Bland-Name Product: "Pastryville" substitutes for Strawberry Land in the Backdoor Pilot "Bitch Pudding Special".
• Edible Theme Naming: Of course, being knock-offs of Strawberry Shortcake characters. Examples include Granny Grahamcrackers, Black Cherry Pie, and Buttermilk Biscuits.
• Euphemism Buster: One mentions that Granny drove a local girl to the city to get her tonsils removed, only for another to joke that it was her "unborn tonsils".
• Negative Continuity: In the "Bitch Pudding Special", their hometown is referred to as Pastryville, but in every other skit it has it is Strawberry Land. Maybe it's supposed to be a different village within it.
• Recurring Extra: Black Cherry Pie, Fudge Turnover, Huckleberry Pie, and Blueberry Muffin have appeared in a handful of skits each.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Pastryville to Strawberry Land and the female Pastryvillager, Raspberry Parfait, that presides over Gramma's funeral to Strawberry Shortcake (who is suspiciously absent). This was presumably for legal reasons.

Granny Grahamcrackers

• Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: At her funeral, Raspberry Parfait lists things she did for her neighbors, including knitting Black Cherry Pie's favorite scarf, fixing Fudge Turnover's leaky roof, and driving Buttermilk Biscuits to the big city to get...her tonsils out.
  Fudge Turnover: Yeah, her unborn tonsils!
• The Gambling Addict: According to Bitch Pudding, she had a gambling addiction.
• Granny Classic: The citizens of Pastryville describe her as warm and caring.
• Posthumous Character: "Bitch Pudding Special" opens with the Pastryvillagers attending her funeral.
• Textile Work Is Feminine: According to Raspberry Parfait, she knitted Black Cherry Pie's favorite scarf.

Black Cherry Pie

Voiced by: Emmanuelle Chriqui ("My Black Cherry is Gone"), Maisie Williams ("The Robot Chicken Bitch Pudding Special")

• Berserk Button: Do not steal her black cherry.
• Parental Incest: According to Bitch Pudding, she left home because her daddy took her "black cherry". Then again, it's being said by Bitch Pudding, so take it with a grain of salt.
• Perky Goth: She dresses in red and black, but she's as cheerful as any other Strawberry character.

Fudge Turnover

Voiced by: Billy Dee Williams

• Ambiguously Brown: He appears to be the Token Minority of the Strawberryland cast.
• Everyone Has Standards: He'd never take anyone's black cherry without their consent!
  Bitch Pudding: Mmm, that's not what I heard.
  Fudge Turnover: Oh, shut up, Bitch Pudding!
• Jerkass: He acts pretty blasé about Granny getting heatstroke while fixing his leaky roof and makes a crass joke in church about Buttermilk Biscuits' abortion.
• Lazy Bum: Black Cherry Pie scolds him for letting Granny fix his leaky roof while he watched Tango & Cash on Netflix.
• Trademark Favorite Food: When Black Cherry Pie's black cherry goes missing, she initially thinks Fudge Turnover took it because he loves black cherries.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Black Cherry Pie, apparently. She scolds him for not caring that Granny Grahamcrackers fell off his roof once and initially thinks he stole her black cherry, but still sits next to him in church and buys a volcano-fried Bitch-Pudding-on-a-stick from him at the "The Bitch Is Dead!" festival.

Huckleberry Pie

Voiced by: Seth Green

• Disproportionate Retribution: On the receiving end when he gets executed after being accused of having sexual relations with the Purple Pieman.
• Mistaken for Gay: Blueberry Muffin overhears the Purple Pieman sticking his penis in a freshly baked huckleberry pie and yelling, "Oh, Huckleberry Pie! Yes, I'm so deep in you!!"

Raspberry Parfait

Voiced by: Kate Mara

• Last-Second Word Swap: During Granny Grahamcrackers' funeral, she almost mentions Buttermilk Biscuits' abortion in church, but stops herself at the last minute.
  Raspberry Parfait: And Buttermilk Biscuits, I remember when Granny drove you all the way to the big city to get... (Buttermilk Biscuits shakes her head repeatedly) ...your...tonsils out?
• Profane Last Words: Her last words after being machine-gunned down are "F*** you, Bitch Pudding."
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Strawberry herself in the "Bitch Pudding Special".
• Team Mom: From her limited screentime, she appears to be one for the citizens of Pastryville, presiding over Granny's funeral and giving a speech about her being neighborly.

Gary the Storm Trooper

"I'm probably gonna get fired for this but... fuck it. I love my daughter!"

Voiced by: Donald Faison

A normal 29-year old husband and father of a young girl from Leeburg, Virginia who is employed as a Storm Trooper for the Empire of Star Wars.

---

• Alternate Universe: Obviously, in the Star Wars films there isn't a young girl named Jessica accompaning her father stormtrooper. Nor is it "bring your child to work" day at any point in the films.
• Ascended Extra: Literally and figuratively. The premise is that he is one of the millions of Stormtroopers in the first film, now shown as a main character. He also goes from starring in just one sketch in the second Star Wars special to seven in the third special.
• Been There, Shaped History: He fought the rebels when they stole the Death Star's plans, was one of the patrolmen hypnotized by Obi-Wan, caused Luke's aunt and uncle's deaths, commanded the Death Star at one point and almost crashed it, survived its explosion by being aboard a TIE-Fighter, and walked in on Darth Vader throwing down the Emperor.
• Continuity Nod: When Beru tells him to stay until the droids return, he says "they are not the droids we are looking for, anyway".
• Disaster Dominoes:
  • Him just using the toilet while in Owen and Beru's house spirals out of control until it results in their deaths.
  • He runs over an Ewok while on patrol in Endor and his attempts to Mercy Kill it only makes it suffer more and attract more Ewoks.
  • Downplayed when he accidentally ends in control of the Death Star. He causes several personal accidents and almost crashes into a planet, but manages to save the day in the last moment.
• The Everyman: Of the Empire's troops.
• The Faceless: He never removes his helmet. Not even to sleep.
• Happily Married: He seems so.
• Hero Killer: By total accident! One of the accidents caused by his driving the Death Star is sending Obi-Wan tumbling from the tractor beam controls into the bottomless chasm surrounding it.
• Mercy Kill: He tries to do this to an Ewok he accidentally runs over with his speeder, but fails repeatedly until he ends repeatedly hitting it with its own cane.
• Morality Pet: His daughter Jessica is one for him and becomes one unexpectedly for Darth Vader.
• Of Corpse He's Alive: When surrounded by Ewoks, he tries (futilely) to convince them that their pal is still alive and friends with him.
• Perspective Flip: The sketches retell several scenes in the first trilogy of Star Wars from Gary's perspective.
• Punchclock Villain: He works for the Empire but doesn't voice support for it.
• Staring Down Cthulhu: He defends his daughter from Darth Vader, risking job and life.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He started the fire that killed Luke's aunt and uncle and almost crashed the Death Star into a planet after being left for one hour driving it due to covering for the actual driver who's taking his time in the bathroom.

Little Drummer Boy

"A drumroll? It's so suspenseful!"

Voiced by: Seth Green

An animesque drummer little tin soldier spoof.

---

• Animesque: Because of his introduction during the "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas" sketch, he looks very similar to Goku and Gohan.
• Anticlimax: His demons are destroyed by Goku as soon as they are summoned.
• The Artifact: However, later sketches make no mention to Manga and draw jokes only from his nature as drummer. He also doesn't use his drum to summon demons like in the original sketch.
• Ascended Extra/Demoted to Extra: Zig-Zagged. Introduced as a subordinate of Composite Santa, he appears in later sketches on his own capacity. However, all of these jokes are about the fact that he is a drummer boy, and not the supernatural Manga warrior he was introduced as.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: See Running Gag.
• Disproportionate Retribution: In "The Rescue", he suggests playing a drumroll for the Chicken to add suspense. The Chicken kills him in a horrible way.
• Eye Scream: The Chicken takes his drumsticks and stabs him in his eyes with them.
• Ironic Death: Lampshaded. After the incident above, he cries "Aaaah, what an ironic death!"
• Mundane Made Awesome: His drumming skills are treated like an Anime attack in his first sketch. He also drops his drumsticks after a Rimshot as if he was doing a mic drop.
• Non-Indicative Name: His second sketch is titled "Little Drummer Goku" even though Goku doesn't appear and it's all about the Little Drummer Boy and Composite Santa playing music.
• Pretty Little Headshots: In the Saving Private Ryan spoof, he is shot once on the forehead before leaving the landing craft and lives long enough to voice his disappointment.
• Rimshot: Done twice in "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", to punctuate jokes made by Mrs. Claus.
• Running Gag: Everytime he does a Rimshot in "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", he does a mic drop with the drumsticks in place of the mic.
• Summoning Ritual: Marching to a certain melody in his drum can summon black demons to fight for him.
• Unexplained Recovery: After being apparently vaporized by Goku in "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", he reappears to punctuate Mrs. Claus's words with a Rimshot or two.

Mo-Larr

"Looks like someone has not been flossing!"

Voiced by: Michael Ian Black

A relentlessly dedicated dentist in Eternia, who pulls rotten teeth out of hero and villain alike (but mostly Skeletor).

---

• Ambiguously Jewish: His real name is Moe Larrstein.
• Canon Immigrant: Mattel made an actual Mo-Larr figure in response to the skit that introduced him.
• Heroic Build: As befits any male born in Eternia.
• Mundane Made Awesome: "Mo-Larr: Eternian Dentist" retells his college education as if it was a Superhero Origin story.
• Punny Name: His Eternian name is read just like "molar", the tooth.
• Serious Business: He takes dentistry very seriously and will not accept an appointment being cancelled, even if he has to fight beast men and capture a supervillain for it. He will also not dispense any other medical care, even if the patient is bleeding from having her feet amputated.
• Uncertain Doom: In "The Rescue", he is beaten by the Chicken and splatters some blood on the wall, but not to the extent of other characters who have their heads completely destroyed.
