History Characters / LifesAZoo

* CanadaEh: Not a stereotype, but him being Canadian is the first thing we learn about him. Jake also has a notable accent when he says "about" and "sorry". The French dub translates this by making him speak with a very thick Quebec accent, making him stand out from the other characters that still speak regional variations of French, but their accents are either from France or non-French speaking cultures entirely.

* CanadaEh: The show never reveals his nationality, but the website reveals where he's from, and his accent is similar to Jake's.

* BerserkButton: Insulting his mother and merely touching his vodka.

* The Primadonna: Very much so. Vain, demanding, arrogant, and a source of much attraction and attention from others on account of being an ex-model.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Shirtless and lacks pants, but has a cap, shades, bling, and shoes.

* PandaingToTheAudience: Obviously.

* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: Is on the receiving end of this in “The Breakfree Club”.

A Canadian pig with extremely perverted tendencies, an affinity for scheming, and a distorted perspective of himself.

However, after realizing how much the show has corrupted her, she forfeits the mansion.]]

An elderly alcoholic Russian bear who is always carrying a bottle of vodka and can always recall stories about his homeland. [[spoiler: The third housemate to be eliminated, after crushing his egg as soon as the parenting competition started, and crushing several other eggs throughout the day.]]

A Jamaican panther and glamorous former supermodel who vainly expects the camera to be on her on all times and to ultimately win the mansion.

* CatsAreMean: Especially towards Jake.

A penguin with violent and impulsive tendencies who walks and talks like a stereotypical rapping gangsta. [[spoiler: The second housemate to be eliminated, after failing to accept Bobbie outing his true identity during the truth or dare challenge: he is actually Dewey Dewson, a nerdy and respectful former shoe store worker that comfortably grew up in the suburbs and never fought or killed anyone.]]

* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Even after his true identity is revealed, he still acts like his gangster persona when he's annoyed.]]

* TheReveal: Doctor D [[spoiler:is not a street-smart, violent gangster that grew up in the “hood”, but rather an obedient, nerdy former shoe store worker named “Dewey Dewson” that grew up in a comfy suburban town and was Employee of the Month fifteen consecutive times at the shoe store he worked at.]]
* SirSwearsALot: While none of the houseguests (even Chi Chi) have a particularly clean vocabulary, Doctor D has by far the foulest mouth, which fits his gangster persona.

A Colombian crocodile that embodies every gay stereotype in the book, from his voice to his mannerisms to his fashion sense. [[spoiler: The fourth housemate to be eliminated, after Chi Chi jumps on his neck and catches the bouquet in the wedding challenge, which leads to Rico getting hospitalized.]]

* CampGay: A walking gay stereotype.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Frequently does it, usually when thinking of Minou or looking at her through a peephole. His particular fantasy when doing this in “Random Acts of Niceness” ends up eliminating him from the challenge.

* TriangRelations: Has an imaginary song number involving him, Minou, and Chi Chi in a three-way.

* DirtyCommies: He sometimes talks about capitalists in a derogatory way like a stereotypical communist, and when Bobbie asks him if he was ever or currently is a member of the Communist Party in “Truth or Consequences", Morreski responds with “Da" (Russian for "yes").

* AccidentalMisnaming: He tends to call Jake “James”.

She gets eliminated in the first season during a weight loss challenge that ended with her gaining weight instead. When the eliminations become permanent, she [[spoiler: suffers severe injuries after jumping out of a real plane with no parachute, gets covered in bandages that prevent her from speaking coherently, and ends up being [[spoiler: the first housemate to leave the competition for good after Ray accidentally pushes her into a path that launches her out of the mansion.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: “Rayland” ends with him being on the receiving end of one of these. The person beating him up? Literally every other houseguest.

* PervertedPig: One thing that can be said about him is that he is Sleazy with a capital "sleaze". He regularly hits on Minou (though to no success), and is revealed in "Self Helpless" to have a blow-up sex doll that he named "Nina".

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Subverted, he is not a stereotypically cute and comical penguin, and he tends to be hostile with interacting with the other houseguests. [[spoiler:However, he is considerably nicer once his masquerade is expose.]]

* TheNapoleon: The second shortest contestant after Jake, barely reaching the five foot mark, with an appropriately hotheaded demeanor that only Minou can compete with.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: “Doctor D” is obviously not his real name, but everyone called him that until “Truth or Consequences”.

* TheReveal: Doctor D [[spoiler:is not a street-smart, violent gangster that grew up in the “hood”, but rather an obedient, nerdy, former shoe store worker named “Dewey Dewson” that grew up in a comfy suburban town and was Employee of the Month fifteen consecutive times at the shoe store he worked at.]]

* TokenEvilTeammate: While none of the contestants are saints, he doesn't bother trying to kill them to succeed in his plans.
* TooDumbToLive: In “Random Acts of Niceness”, he angers Morreski by saying that Rico is so ugly that he makes Morreski’s mother look like a “motherfucking prom queen”. Morreski tells him to not insult his mother, but Doctor D keeps provoking him, resulting into Morreski snapping, losing the niceness challenge and being forced into the cage Doctor D’s in, and then beating up Doctor D.

* GenreSavvy: Believes he is this, due to his presumed experience with reality shows (he claims to have seen Survivor). While he proves himself to be a capable contestant at times, his ego inevitably leads to his downfall.

* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Due to being the biggest Jerk in a cast of Jerks.

* CanadaEh: Not a stereotype, but him being Canadian is the first thing we learn about him. Jake also has a notable accent when he says “about” and “sorry”.
