Deleting the tropes that are now moved to the character sheet.


* NinetiesHair: Ricardo's banana peel is peeled in a way to resemble curtain bangs.
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: In a rare food example, Stinky wears a pair of half-moon glasses in the webseries, to emphasize his age. He lacks them in flashbacks to him at a much younger age.
* AccidentalPervert: Pizza Face in the "Get Well Spewn" arc accidentally has his toppings sneezed off of him (which, in a previous episode, were confirmed as his clothing), leaving him bare and stumbling around for a distance (as he also sneezed his face off at this point). Stinky is shocked at his indecency and yells at him to "put on some sauce, you perverted pepperoni!".
* AdaptationNameChange: The characters in the webtoons have different names than their figures, with Putrid Pizza being “Pizza Face”, Dodgey Donut being “Rocky”, Shoccoli being “Doc Broc”, Sticky Soda being “Sparkles”, Rotten Egg being “Egghead”, Grub Sub being "Meathead", Sewer Glove being "Fingers", Flat Battery being "Surge", Blue Spew Cheese being "Stinky", and Squished Banana being [[OddNameOut "Ricardo"]].



* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Egghead, out of being the last to expire, thus, the last to come alive.



* BowelBreakingBricks: Meathead has a tendency to poop out meatballs in fear.



* DashingHispanic: Ricardo. He has the accent, the charm, a pencil mustache, and his peel is even partway down to look like parted bangs. He's also a good fencer...using a spork.



* DrillSergeantNasty: Stinky pulls off this persona towards the end of the "Get Well Spewn" arc, when the attacks on The Loog are looking fruitless, as he pulls the other Grosseries together into a battalion.



* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Vac Attack has no patience for crude humor, to the point of vacuuming up one of his minions for laughing at the word "duty".



* FiveManBand: Formed in the webseries:
** TheLeader: Pizza Face (comes up with the plans and finds the way to make them work)
** TheLancer: Sparkles (sarcastic, yet also the grounding voice of reason for some of Pizza Face's over-the-top ideas)
** TheSmartGuy: Doc Broc (The inventor of the team, calculates the work of the plan)
** TheBigGuy: Rocky (The muscle, acts on the plans first)
** TheChick: Egghead (The youngest, often pushed around and unable to act in the plans)



* GratuitousSpanish: Ricardo has the tendency to swap random words with their Spanish equivalent.



* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Gooey Chewie speaks only in squelchy sounds that all the others can understand.



* LittleMissSnarker: Sparkles. Her sweetness ran out a long time ago, and was replaced with acidic biting retorts.



* NameFaceName:
** Pizza Face and Meathead get these names for the webseries adaptations of them.
** In the toyline, there's Trash Head the trash can.



* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: In the webseries, Fingers takes on any role that is needed. So far, he has been a shark, a tailor, a construction worker, a rancher, a butler, and a guard dog.
* NonMammalMammaries: In a rare male version of this trope, Ricardo has visible pecs when his peel is removed.



* NostalgiaFilter: Blue Spew Cheese spends most of his time wallowing in nostalgia.
* OddNameOut: Ricardo in the webseries, being the only one to not have a descriptive name, rather, he has an actual one.
* OldMaster: Blue Spew Cheese is described as the "Yoda of the Yucky Mart", and has been telling his tales longer than the age of the box at the back of the freezer.
* OldWindbag: Blue Spew Cheese. He is always drawling out knowledge whether it's wanted or not, and even he can't remember if what he's said had actually happened in the past.



* PokemonSpeak: Trash Head only talks by saying the word "trash".



* RubberMan: Gooey Chewey, thanks to being a wad of pre-chewed gum.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl:
** For all the charm Ricardo has, he still has a very high-pitched scream.
** Fingers has a surprisingly high-pitched scream as well, which is rather jarring as he doesn't say much of anything.



* ShrunkenOrgan: Egghead's brain is the size of a bean (wearing a dunce cap). After he accidentally shocks himself (by sticking his tongue in an outlet to try and get a mint out of it), it swells to supersize, complete with a graduation cap.
* ShockAndAwe: Surge, being a battery, is able to send out electrical jolts.



* SpeechImpediment: Surge has a stutter.



* StomachOfHolding: Vac Attack, being a living vacuum cleaner, is able to suck up his victims and store them in his stomach compartment, which can also be opened up externally to release them.



* TrueBlueFemininity: Sparkles is light blue, and the only girl of the main Grosseries in the webseries. Despite this, she's still fairly rough-and-tumble and sarcastic.



* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Pizza Face is revealed to subconsciously be afraid of heights.
