History Characters / GoAnimateCaillou

* BadassFamily: They have their moments.
* BreakoutCharacter: They quickly became one of the most popular characters in grounded videos. At first, it was simply as a way to vent frustrations against the show, but now it seems that you really can't have grounded videos without them, whether they're the focus of the video in question or not!
* ButtMonkey[=/=]TheChewToy: A lot of their physical injuries tend to be played for comedy.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Back when African Vulture made videos about Caillou getting grounded, his family were jerkasses as usual, but since "A Caillou Christmas Carol", they became more nicer than usual, leading them to from the Jerkass level, to the Nice Guy/Girl level, but sometimes Caillou will get grounded even after "A Caillou Christmas Carol".

* DysfunctionalFamily[=/=]BigScrewedUpFamily: They make [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy the Griffins]] look like [[Series/FullHouse the Tanners]].
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Caillou's the foolish to Rosie's responsible. [[DependingOnTheWriter Users have been known to reverse this, however.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Nearly all of them to some degree.
* PetTheDog: They are far from incapable of empathy.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Rosie. Though even that can be subverted sometimes.

* TheAlcoholic: Many videos show Caillou go to the bar and kill the bartender when the latter won't give him any beer.

* BaldOfEvil: When Caillou is genuinely villainous.

* EnfantTerrible: He's 4 years old and sometimes attacks or even kills other people.

* {{Flanderization}}: In his home series, Caillou is a generally well-meaning kid who has occasional bouts of brattiness when he doesn't get his way or doesn't understand something. In the grounded videos, Caillou throws tantrums at the drop of a hat and is sometimes excessively violent.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Rosie's responsible. Though sometimes it can be the other way around.

* ShipTease: With Dora.

* SpoiledBrat: Far more so in the grounded videos than in his home series.

* WouldHitAGirl: Just ask Rosie, or Clementine and Sarah, or Miss Martin.

* {{Angrish}}: Boris's signature "OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH!!!"

* BigShutUp: Whenever he says this with his Eric voice, it comes out as a loud, harsh hiss.
* TheBully: Usually towards his son.

* TautologicalTemplar: Has his moments.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Some videos in which he is the target will portray him as this to the Caillou family.

* TheDragon: Sometimes serves as this to Boris.

* JerkassRealization: If we are to believe that the above characterization is true in some of the deconstruction videos, it's likely that her {{Heel Face Turn}}s in some of them are brought on by this trope.
* MamaBear: Is often portrayed as this in deconstruction videos and videos where either Boris or Ms. Martin is the target.

* OnlySaneMan: On the rare occasion Rosie isn't having this role, she is.

* TookALevelInKindness: Tends to come off as nicer (though on varying amounys) in the deconstruction videos, and even some unironic videos, where normally she's the more reasonable parent who's willing to at least listen before casting a judgement on her children.

* YesMan: She's often this to Boris.

* BlackBeadEyes: Has this sort of eyes by some users.
* BreakTheCutie: Frequently.
* ButtMonkey: Caillou's favorite target for abuse.
** However, in the Rosie gets grounded videos, her ButtMonkey status grows stronger and she starts turning into one since some users make her either a troublemaker or make her just as abusive to the point where multiple people don't enjoy her company.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Most commonly, Rosie is portrayed as the TokenGoodTeammate[=/=]OnlySaneMan of the Caillou family, but some users (notably the user [=MattTheGoAnimator=]) make her either the main troublemaker of the family instead of Caillou or just as callous and abusive as the rest.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[BewareTheNiceOnes Occasionally]].

* FieryRedhead: Averted. She's easily the most mild-tempered and timid member of Caillou's family.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Responsible to Caillou's foolish.
** However in the Rosie gets grounded videos, Caillou is the StraightMan Responsible to Rosie's AnnoyingYoungerSibling and BrattyHalfPint Foolish.
* HeroAntagonist: Arguably a straighter example then Boris.

* ItRunsInTheFamily: She and Doris are both (Mostly in Deconstruction videos) shown to be calmer then their brother and husband, respectively.

* ProneToTears: One of the few things she has in common with her canon counterpart.

* ThirdPersonPerson: A few video makers have her talk like this, such as African Vulture's early videos.

* VagueAge: Sometimes, Rosie is a baby who can barely talk (like she is in the actual ''Caillou'' TV show, but other times she is speaking coherently and regularly does the things that a six-year-old would do.

* CatsAreSnarkers: Of the SilentSnarker variety.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Caillou.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Of course, since they're members of the Caillou family.

* TautologicalTemplar: Runs in the family.

* TheBully: Often acts this way to all the students.

* {{Expy}}: She is remarkably similar to Boris [[TheBully in a]] [[HairTriggerTemper number of]] [[ChildHater ways]], to the point that she is frequently shipped with him.

* {{Jerkass}}: See EvilTeacher and SadistTeacher for more details.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Ms. Martin is right about Caillou being misbehaved.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: See LaserGuidedKarma.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Although, for the most part, on the giving end of this trope, there are a few examples where she's on the receiving end for her treatment of Caillou or other characters.

* AdaptationalJerkass: As to be expected by now.

* ButtMonkey: Not that they don't deserve it.

* IceQueen: Clementine and Sarah.

* KidsAreCruel: Especially towards Caillou.

* RedheadInGreen: Leo.

* ShipTease: Clementine and Sarah tend to get this with Leo.

** TookALevelInKindness: On the other hand, a significant number of videos where they appear tends to have them as actual friends who show true kindness towards Caillou. Ironically, in these videos, Rosie, Boris or Daisy are often the target instead.

* AdaptationalVillainy: "Villainy" may be a strong word for his case, though.

* BlackBeadEyes: Her eyes are shown like this.

* GreenAndMean: Wears a green shirt, although she isn't as bad as most adult characters.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Some videos depict her as being one.

* AdaptationalJerkass: As usual.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Like most of everyone.
* BigBrotherBully: Towards Clementine.
* TheBully: Mainly to his younger sister.
* GreenAndMean: His green shirt.
* {{Jerkass}}: Although especially towards Clementine.
* RedIsViolent: His red hat.

* AdaptationalJerkass: It's to be expected already.
* AdaptationalVillainy: They're ''Caillou'' characters. What did you expect?
* BlackBeadEyes: Claire.

* {{Jerkass}}: Nearly goes without saying.

* BaldOfEvil: Has it worse than Modern Caillou.

* AbusiveParents: To Caillou.

* AxCrazy: Possibly gets this from her father.

* EvilBrit: Has a British accent in some videos.
* EvilRedhead / FieryRedhead: Like her sister, Rosie, but ''worse''.

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Seems to run in the family.

[[WMG:[[center:[-''Website/GoAnimate'' '''[[Characters/GoAnimate Main Character Index]]'''\\

Characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' commonly depicted in Website/GoAnimate videos.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He may be a troublemaker but he is abused routinely by his parents, especially Boris.

* BadassAdorable: He's a four year old who can demolish Chuck E Cheese's with his own hands and is able to beat up people who make him mad.

* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's not very tall, but he's able to beat the shit out of people pretty good.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Yes, they are assholes, but a lot of the stuff they do chew out Caillou for (E.G. A spoiled brat, a troublemaker, a racist) are true.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He loves his daughter Rosie, even [[ParentalFavoritism favoring her above Caillou]]. But he's just as willing to psychically harm her as he does Caillou if she messes up. (Notice the word "if".)

* BerserkButton: Probably the first created character who hates being called "Grandpa" by a troublemaker.

* {{Jerkass}}: Ill-tempered and sometimes excessively violent.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[DependingOnTheWriter Flips between this]] and JerkWithAHeartOfGold, being more obviously the latter.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Frequently on the receiving end of physical harm from Caillou.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Caillou loves to prank her.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Clementine and Sarah get hurt semi-often.

In videos where Caillou is a good guy, some video makers introduce his [[PaletteSwap grey or beige-shirted]] design from the early seasons of the show as a separate character. In comparison to "Modern" Caillou, Classic Caillou is often ''even worse'' than Caillou, and tends to get into even more trouble as a result. YouTubers like [=RackAnimate=] sometimes feature Caillou as a protagonist, and Classic Caillou as the main antagonist. In comparatively-few videos, Classic Caillou is also considered to be good.

* GrumpyBear: All three of them can be pretty sullen from time to time.

* NiceHat: A backwards baseball cap.

* DysfunctionalFamily[=/=]BigScrewedUpFamily: They make the [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Griffins]] look like [[Series/FullHouse The Tanners]].

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the earlier videos, Caillou was a very self-absorbed brat who would often brag if he won, and get grounded for that, but then they turned all the corruptness and things that have him getting punished over a small thing UpToEleven and he became the official villain.

* SendInTheClones: In some videos, Caillou will have additional brothers like Daillou and Baillou. Sometimes taken UpToEleven by adding even more "-aillous", [[LogicalExtreme reaching to one for each letter of the alphabet, though it isn't uncommon for the letter A to remain excluded]].[[note]][[ItMakesSenseInContext In cases that do include A, the "A" child is named Aillou.]][[/note]]

* HairTriggerTemper: He will beat up people at the drop of a hat. Goes UpToEleven in the ''Caillou and Boris'' movie where he murders the BigBad's wife in cold blood because she accidentally bumped into him.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Rosie.
