History Characters / AnimaniacsOtherSupportingCharacters

* BrokenPedestal: When his disguises fails, one person who has already seen through him says "I told you that guy was a chicken!", and everyone who praised Chicken Boo earlier tries to attack him.

* ExitPursuedByABear: [[spoiler:At the end of "Good Warner Hunting", he ends up getting chased by all the co-stars he had hunted down]].
* EveryEpisodeEnding: His shorts always ended with him walking off to find the next thing to disguise as while the last two lines of his theme song played.

* AnthropomorphicZigZag: Chicken Boo is a NearlyNormalAnimal, but when he puts on a PaperThinDisguise, he becomes something of a FunnyAnimal.

* BrokenPedestal: When his disguises fails, one person who has already seen through him says "I told you that guy was a chicken!", and everyone who praised Chicken Boo earlier tries to eat him.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: He is regularly ostracized seemingly for the sole reason that he is a ''huge'' chicken, regardless of whether he was any good at his job prior to being unmasked. Justified, as they could be craving chicken for lunch and/or dinner

* YouHaveToBelieveMe: There's always one character who sees through TheMasquerade. Only one, though.

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: While his creation didn't lead to the genesis of the Warner Brothers, ''Buddy'' is actually a very real cartoon character created in 1933 by Earl Duvall and his cartoons were particularly infamous even ''back then'' for being insanely boring. Also, Creator/WarnerBros indeed brought another animator, Creator/FrizFreleng, to try and spice things up after his first cartoons failed.

* NonMammalMammaries: Subverted in that she ''is'' a mammal, just not one that would have human-style cleavage. So much that some shots of her abundant breasts were edited in the DVD collection. The intent was for her full cleavage to resemble a large puff of fur, but resulted in what fans tend to refer to as a "uni-boob". Apparently, what was OK on broadcast TV at 4 pm in 1992 was a little too spicy for a DVD release in 2009.

* DemotedToExtra: Though she was never much of a major character. Justified in that the censors found her cartoons TooHotForTV and scrapped them, but kept the character. That and the fact that she was merely a one-joke character (the joke being all the male characters going gaga whenever they see her and the ending revealing she is NotSoAboveItAll when it comes to handsome men.) In the end, she only appeared in twelve cartoons altogether, one of which was the Pinky and the Brain finale "Star Warners", five of her appearances were silent cameos, but she gets a much larger presence in [[Comicbook/{{Animaniacs}} the comics]] however.

* AdvertisedExtra: He rarely appeared at all, only only five times in fact, only having a prominent role in two segments (only speaking in one of those and in the other he was basically a normal animal) and his other speaking role was a brief appearance in Gunga Dot, he had a silent appearance in the Macarena music video parody, and a blink you'll miss it cameo in another, but despite all this he was featured in both of the big group shots in the opening theme, making him seem like he'd be a recurring character but in reality he was just a minor character who barely ever showed up. He eventually came BackForTheFinale in the Animaniacs' film, ''WesternAnimation/WakkosWish'' (literally), appearing in the very last scene that mirrored the show's intro, and in another with the show's various characters, but with no speaking role. On the other hand, he's present in most Minerva comics.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Instead of a human who turns into a wolf when the moon is full, he's a wolf who turns into a different-looking wolf. He doesn't turn into a vicious beast either. Instead, he's quite the well-spoken looker under the full moon.

* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Warner 65th Anniversary Special" features the comeback of one of the original WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes stars, Buddy...[[spoiler:as a ''villain'', no less!]] And voiced by Creator/JimCummings! [[note]]Buddy's original voice actor, Jack Carr, had passed away in the late '60s.[[/note]]

* StandardFiftiesFather: The dad is a clear parody of Jimmy Stewart and the live in a very 50's-ish suburban home.

** Considering the popularity of ''furry femme-fatales'' in the nascent home computer animation scene of the late-80's to the early 1990's, there is a possibility elements of Minerva may have been inspired by these independent cartoon creator's work. Her resemblance to [[http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/34632/CU-Amiga-Magazine-July-1992/ Amy Squirrel]] with the colors swapped is noticeable (Amy would later go onto be a supporting character in Webcomic/SabrinaOnline).
** Not to mention Minerva's formal attire in ''Moon Over Minerva'' is almost a direct copy of Jessica Rabbit's clothing in Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit, a film Spielberg helped to produce!

* GoldDigger: She say that her ideal boyfriend is not only handsome, but also has rich parents. In the comics, she says her dream is to marry a prince to pay her credit card debt, and another story has Newt discovering the most arousing scent for her is cash. She even goes right past a male {{hunk}} to snatch some money out of his hand and hug it instead of him, admitting "I just dig cash" as she does. In "Hercule Yakko" she also reacts [[WildTake the same way]] to a diamond that men react to her.

* PaperThinDisguise: His segments are essentially a giant parody of this trope. Boo's disguises are always incredibly flimsy and do nothing to disguise the fact that he's a ''six-foot-tall chicken'', but they always manage to convince nearly everyone around him that he's an expert in whatever field he's chosen to enter for the day. Notable instances include a taped-on mustache (suddenly he's the biggest movie star in Hollywood), a white karate uniform and headband (he's now "Moo Goo Gai Boo," master of martial arts), or a gray hat (which grants him the position of ''General of the Confederate Army''). [[spoiler:Averted in [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 the reboot]], where he has a full-body disguise of a hunter who speaks in full English.]]

* TooDumbToLive: A lot of the bad ideas he tries in "Good Idea, Bad Idea" are ''really'' bad. "Playing cops and robbers in the bank," for instance.

* ButtMonkey: His single starring role, "Hollywoodchuck," is nothing but him suffering one [[AmusingInjuries Amusing Injury]] after another.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The original animation of the "pop rocks and soda" story had the Randy Beaman Kid crossing his legs and pulling his crotch, clearly having a PottyEmergency, but it was replaced with the animation from the "giant marshmallow" story.

->'''Voiced by''': Arte Johnson

->'''Voiced by''': Laura Mooney

* GutturalGrowler: [[spoiler:When in villain mode- it's obvious because it's the same voice Jim Cummings was using for [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Dr. Robotnik]] at the same time.]]

* HateSink: Despite his occasional comedic bits, Salazar is a greedy, callous, and murderous dictator who, unlike most of the other antagonists of the Warners, has no redeeming qualities to his name.

* KnightOfCerebus: He's a surprising killjoy...That being said, during the scene where he interrogates the Warners, he's portrayed as comically as their other antagonists.
