Main Characters
- Badass Adorable: They've shown off feats of awesomeness, and are adorable in their own right.
- Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Hank (nice), Ben and Ginger (mean), and Angela and Tom (in-between).
- Of the cats, Ginger serves as the mean while Angela and Tom can interchange between nice and in-between depending on the episode.
A gray, fun-loving if naive tabby cat and is the leader of the group.
- Be Yourself: What he loves doing and never stops doing, always having a idea what to do and can be quite practical and cooperative at that.
- Buffoonish Tomcat: While not overall an utterly clownish character, he loves being fun-loving, silly and having a fun time. Yet Tom sometimes doesn't really think twice about a decision that could be problematic nor does he think so much about the practicalities in things or even common-sense when it comes to making ideas or having no idea nor clue on what to do in them, in which it could sometimes lead to his humorous mistakes, slapstick jokes or gags or can even come from peer pressure as Tom can even respond to some pieces of Ben's rationality in an sassy yet dorky manner when around others in a way of communication in which that can make it seem like Tom is socially inept at times or at best; naive in his own way, he is usually the extroverted, headstrong, wild, sorta childlike and passionate one compared to the more introverted, collected and discreet Ben and when being very talkative to show an naive degree showing some social flaws. Tom was prone to slapstick situations or jokes, or even physical abuse when it is random and when it comes to him being an Iron Butt Monkey in some episodes.
- In "The Audition," when Tom was trying WAY too hard to get his own show, he goes from looking cool to look a bit desperate & paranoid in a awkward and goofy way and was resulted with tons of dialog-based clumsiness when communicating with Angela or Ginger because of this, Ben would usually correct Tom when showing a childish, goofy response to questions/etc, and was prone to making Ben give him some physical abuse or tackles due to Tom's careless, lighthearted mischief in summarizing how he and Ben met.
- In "Friendly Customer Service," when Tom attempts to unplug the answering machine Gilbert, he gets picked up by the scruff, Tom unwisely insulted him in a downplayed manner, and Gilbert throws and sends Tom flying when Gilbert said that wasn't a friendly response.
- In "Hank The Director," when Tom and friends talk to the viewer and say why making a parody of Bongo And Mcgillicuddy would "ruin" their career and professional image. Just to then have Tom say the keywords "Our Super Professional Image" and then Tom rests his feet on a table which it breaks and gives him a couple of clumsy expressions and awkwardly laughs when realizing that there were two drinks on that short table, his friends look at him in a dry manner and Ben has a face palm.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Oh so much over Angela. Even seeing a guy talking with her makes him fume.
- Cloudcuckoolander: While not a complete and total oddball overall, he's fun-loving for the most part and is somewhat level-headed when helping those around him; but some of the things he does do while having fun when being silly, having a fun time or even coming up with ideas when practicing for the promos for him when working with his longtime business partner & best friend Ben, can show how weird, incredibly unconventional, over-the-top, goofy or just eccentric he can be at times. Ben lampshaded this about Tom himself in "The Audition":Tom: "Eight point three? You're talking nonsense!"Ben: "Non-sense? You're the King of nonsense!"*cuts to Tom's happy-go-lucky and goofy responses/behavior towards Ben while silent*
- Cool Cat: Usually seen and respected as a popular and cool character in town, in fact when Tom tries too hard to be hip to compete, however, it can result in him being utterly fallible.
- Fun Personified: Tom lives this. Tom really loves to have fun by taking part in fun parties, fun museums, if it has fun in the name, he's involved and down on it and can have lots of ideas on what to do. Even if he can be prone to look pretty clumsy, irresponsible and buffoonish at times, he isn't entirely inept with social skills tho, unless you speak with condescending geniuses; or even Tom's Know-It-All universal counterpart of himself in their world where you have to look or seem intelligent to get along with them. (sometimes malicious for some petty reason! So it's best that Tom sticks to his playful roots and not change himself into this for the better.)
- The Leader: Most of the time, he's the one who take center stage and brings about the big ideas.
- Magnetic Hero: Due to his charm and popularity of being a cool-cat, he can be charismatic and be the motivational driving-force in guidance for solving anyone's problems, if idealistic and passionate in doing so.
- Motor Mouth: Downplayed with Tom, who talks normally and only talks fast when nervous or excited. He's quite talkative since he has so much to say.
- Mr. Imagination: While not shown to be a complete and utter Cloud Cuckoolander, he does hint on having a huge imagination and can be shown to be visionary when motivating others or when having fun coming up with fun ideas/etc. His ideas because of his running imagination can be rather crafty, creative, at times lucky, competent or effective, whether this is dialog-wise or not.
- In "The Audition":
Tom: "Shower. Toilet. Use your imagination!" - My God, What Have I Done?: He'll get carried away with his actions, leading him to this.
- In "Ping Pong Wizard," he persuaded Ben into playing ping-pong, making him obsessed with the activity.
- In "Lost Friend Will Zee," he let his jealousy of his old friend, Will Zee, consume him and he got seriously injured in trying to top Will Zee.
- Never My Fault: When Jeremy returns the second time due to him not cleaning the bathroom, Tom tries to avoid responsibility for it until the end due to caring more about a party.
- Nice Guy: An friendly, ordinary cat along with his recurring group of cats. As long he does get misled, such to the point he can have a Jerkass Ball, occasionally manipulative for self-benefit or is Innocently Insensitive at times.
- Out-of-Character Moment: In "Babysitter Tom," he acts extremely overprotective of being Ginger's nanny out of fear of Ginger getting hurt. He comes to his senses at the end of the episode. And (See Buffoonish Tom Cat above); but Tom can be questionably foolish at times.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Because of his Buffoonish Tom Cat quality, he's the Red Oni to Ben's Blue Oni.
- Skilled, but Naive: An happy-go-lucky cat who is usually full of positivity, while he can be wise & competent when his imagination runs properly, he's usually very naive with pretty much everything while fun-loving or not.
An highly intelligent if flawed and socially imperfect Labradoodle who is the brains of the group.
- Accent Adaptation: In the Latin American Spanish dub, he speaks with a thick Cuban accent. Justified here, since his dub voice actor is Cuban-American.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: Unlike his previous appearances, Ben's skin lacks the shagginess and his voice is less gruff.
- Arch-Nemesis: Flo and Mel, two science geniuses, are Ben's science rivals. They look down on him and love to taunt him. Ben hates them as well and will try to beat them.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: (Blue) The introverted, discreet, rational, and levelheaded Blue Oni to Tom's wild, passionate and headstrong Red Oni.
- Brutal Honesty: Ben is not one to sugercoat and will tell it to you as it is.
- Butt-Monkey: Stuff can rarely go right for him whenever he has to deal with the nonsense around him, mischief by Ginger & Tom or even suffering slapstick based misfortunes, even if most of the time he gets out in one piece.
- Cannot Keep a Secret: This flaw of his ends up being the catalyst for the "A Secret Worth Keeping" trilogy. After eating too much icecream while waiting for Tom, Hank and Ginger to celebrate Angela's birthday, Angela ends up blurting out that she likes Tom. Ben is horrified when Angela tells him not to say anything because he knows he won't be able to. He even told her about this earlier in the episode.
- Cannot Tell a Joke: If Ben isn't only enjoying being a tech genius, he believes himself to be a scientific comedian as well, but his friends or even the whole city believes his humor has no style of humor besides obvious science puns and can explain jokes when unnecessary. (See Inflating Body Gag below) he'd do ANYTHING to show how skilled he can be at being intentionally hilarious or even comical.
- In spite of having an unfunny reputation for his science-based standup, he can be humorous when snarky, having some sharp wit, being comical himself or even comically serious as examples.
- Deadpan Snarker: Is capable of being this in an evident or discreet way towards Tom's silly, naive thoughts or summarizations, his friend's impulsive & occasionally irresponsible behavior, predicting some events in a moderately snarky manner or even how he'd communicate with indiscreet thoughts or genuine naivety:Tom: "That's a minor detail! Comments like that proves that you're just not a visionary!"Ben: "And you're not a scientist."
- Ditzy Genius: A skilled professional at mathematics, chemistry, and a tech super-genius. But he sure can lack some common sense or have some slips when socially inept or having poor coordination to an excessively unaware degree at times.
- Evil-Detecting Dog: Because of being the smartest one in the gang, he can sense trouble more than others do and he can be resourceful at times (e.g "The Germinator" was a prime example of Ben knowing there was something obviously wrong with Jeremy spreading sickness around Tom and friends when they all were too unaware and foolishly nice to realize it.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: He has shown to have a bad temper from the foolish behavior of others, although he is mostly moderate all things considered.
- Hates Being Touched: Mainly because of how he doesn't like being distracted or usually has a 'Don't Touch It, You Idiot!' vibe with his equipment with his friends that don't listen to him, he can be reasonably capricious and forceful with wanting to be left alone on working on his projects or programming.
- In "The Audition": When Tom was asked by Angela on what gets on his nerves, Tom presents how he plays around with touching Bens equipment while Ben already told him to stop several times when Tom was playfully poking him when irritated, Ben forcefully jumps onto him since he was annoyed.
- Inflating Body Gag: Ben makes himself morbidly obese thinking that making himself bigger will make him funnier.
- Insufferable Genius: Zig-Zagged. While not entirely arrogant about his intelligence, but he can show bits of a snooty and entitled genius who's in-your-face with that fact whenever he believes that Intelligence Equals Isolation. He can be prone to being Enraged by Idiocy whether if it was just Tom or Hank goofing around, can feel like he is Surrounded by Idiots or being superior to others at having a high intellect sometimes. Sometimes his stubborn and grumpy nature can cause from other's mischief and can potentially be problematic so when his friends do understand what he's saying but think he's being 'unreasonable', Ben usually has to inform this more directly or use tons of reminders like sticky notes of not touching his property cause Ben can be quite rational with what really shouldn't be messed with and has his reasons.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Being a genius with some entitlement from his high intelligence, he is reasonable most of the time and has some good points {even if something happened because of his mild screw-ups or the total opposite}:(audience laughs after he tripped over)Ben: Stop laughing!Ben: If you laugh at someone falling down, that just shows you're just a stupid crowd!
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be snarky, Enraged by Idiocy, and pessimistic at times, but he's a good friend and a man of science.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Along with other characters, when Ben shows how funny he can be out of telling science jokes, he can be really amusing!
- Science Hero: Is one of the protagonists in the show and is capable of using his technical, programming, passionately scientific skills for saving the day as well.
- The Smart Guy: This is all lampshaded in the "Assertive App" episode:Tom: "Me?! Why me?"Ben: "I'm the brains, you're the.. mouth."Tom: "That is so true!!"
- TV Genius: He is this due to how he is mainly characterized as only being a programming genius.
An total mutt and the lazy one of the group.
- Big Brother Mentor: To Ginger. They hang out with each other and love having fun. Hank often tries to make sure Ginger doesn't go too far when being mischievous.
- Big Guy, Little Guy: Despite being shorter than almost everyone, he serves as the big guy to Ginger's little guy.
- Cuckoosnarker: While not prone to sarcasm nor understanding it that much for that matter, in a World of Snark, Hank would be joking around with a bit of sass and sarcasm from time to time, this being more shown with Ben's strict nature about how he would usually order him to do or not and Hank would respond in a childlike way:
- In "Ben's High Score":
Ben: "Hank, will you confirm for everyone that you've never played the game "Flappy Talking Tom?"Hank: "Yeah all because you'd never let me! Wooo!"- Or later on just react to stuff everyone is thinking alike, this being shown when thinking about Ben doing stand up being an obviously bad idea along with everyone else like in the "Funny Robot Galileo" episode:
Ben: "Guess who has two thumbs and is performing at the CEO's birthday party!"Hank: "Is it Angela?"Angela: "Yeah, is it Angela?"Ben: "No it's me! They booked me to do stand up!"*cricket sounds*Ben: "Stand up comedy?"Hank: "No thanks. I'm gonna go lie down." - Dogs Are Dumb: Hank is usually portrayed as The Ditz, The Cloud Cuckoo Lander, The Fool, or a Kindhearted Simpleton with his friends due to how silly, ditzy, and gullible he can be. But he is rather moderately dimwitted and more of a Genius Ditz than anything.
- Dumbass No More: Interestingly enough, due to Hank learning more from his mistakes, gaining experience/wisdom, and getting smarter & more sympathetic as the show goes on, instead of being flanderized or getting dumber, he goes from being very foolish if a somewhat useful and slightly wise scatterbrain to grow as an comical and naive yet competent Genius Ditz.
- Fat Idiot: Pot-bellied looking and somewhat dimwitted.
- Fun Size: Excluding Ginger, he's the shortest member of the cast. He's so short, Ginger's classmates dwarf him.
- Keet: He can be energized at times.
- The Klutz: Hank can be prone to this on random occasion like in a moment in the "Hank the Millionare," where he tripped over Ben's foot while Hank was losing it.
- Genius Ditz: While Hank's quite a lazy mutt with his friends, he can be shown to be highly talented and skilled with certain skills like drumming, cooking unique kinds of food and other kinds of skills, however, Hank is an true whiz at watching in an loyal and skilled manner with The Bongo And Mcgillicuddy show or just knowledgeable with media, television shows or even wisdom that comes from this by his high knowledge, experience, dedication, studies and observations about every episode to even defeat new villains of said show! While he can be kind of a Loony Fan for praising and having Undying Loyalty for the show (and not too excessive compared to many Loony Fans), he can be competent with that being one of his highlights of competence. He can also be competent because of his knowledge in general, even for lacking in some common sense.
- Lazy Bum: His favorite hobby is watching TV while eating food. However, he's there for his friends when they need him and can use his laziness to get others interested like Ben as well at times.
- Manchild: How else would you describe a full-grown dog who watches an cartoon daily and has childlike mannerisms with having fun?
- The Millstone: Was this in Season 1 in "Friendly Customer Service" when Tom and Ben tried to escape from Gilbert and closed the door when he said it was cold outside.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Due to his oddball tendencies as a Genius Ditz, he can be very comical or pretty funny whenever driven into insanity (for a plot where he has a problem) or when he can just be silly and fun-loving on his own.
- Out-of-Character Moment: In Hank the Director, when it was his birthday and his friends wanted to help him make his parody of his show after a mistake they made; Hank becomes pretty condescending, grumpy, bossy, unhappy, antipathetic, demanding if clueless in some areas due to Hank being Hank, and excessively detail-oriented to the point that he seems to look like an obnoxious imbecile, but he learns An Aesop from the ups and downs from having a perfectionist's perspective of having fun.
- Running Gag: When the Landlord comes into the house, Hank would sometimes treat him like he's a king, even though the Landlord isn't impressed. It stopped after the 2nd season.
An orange tabby kitten who is the kid of the group.
- Big Guy, Little Guy: The little guy to Hank's small, but big guy.
- Butt-Monkey: Ginger can be prone to this at times when he makes his mistakes, either if it's with attempting to deceive/manipulate Hank or being giving himself some comeuppance for his selfish behavior that helps making him more a nicer kitten over time like in the episode: "Untalking Tom"; Ginger has a brief younger version of a Buffoonish Tom Cat moment when he steals Tom's soup Angela made, ''not realizing that the soup was the chili pepper version of soup Angela made, Ginger runs with a cartoony, burning mouth gag like how Tom had this effect by accident. Or it can be prone from a Honor Before Reason scenario.
- Bratty Half-Pint: Has moments of this. He whines when things don't go his way, and taunts his friends when something bad happens to them. Angela even called him out on his behavior in "App-y Halloween."
- Cats Are Mean: He's usually a Jerk with a Heart of Gold but he's arguably the meanest of the cats.
- Celibate Hero: Being a child, he's not invested in romance and heavily despises it.
- Cheerful Child: Very perky and joyful. Justified as he's seven and still a child.
- Everyone Has Standards: There are some lines he won't cross.
- He doesn't like to cheat just to accomplish something.
- He's very angry at Tom for pretending to be Billy just to get to Roy.Ginger: (Tom is washing the dishes as punishment) Keep scrubbing, Billy.
- Foil: To Darren. Both are rivals and come from wealthy families. The difference is that Darren is snooty and mean; a case of spoiled rotten, while Ginger is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Pulls numerous of these throughout the series. He shot an arrow at Ms. Vanthrex's head so that the house can still be kept, getting a week's worth of detention. He also stayed behind to flush a big toilet so that Ben and Tom can go on to save the world from being cubed, resulting in him and Hank being cubed in the process.
- Kids Are Cruel: Borderlines on this a lot in season 1 especially.
- Mouthy Kid: AND HOW.
- Naughty Is Good: An kitten who is very mischievous and is one of the protagonists that is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- Never My Fault: Played for Laughs. He'd usually ignore what trouble he has done.
- Pet the Dog: Although a Celibate Hero, he doesn't mind helping Angela and Tom get together.
- Prone to Tears: The most prone to breaking down and sobbing unconsolably when something bad happens to him. Justified as he's the youngest of the group.
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: Likes to use this in order to get what he wants.
- Spoiled Sweet: Comes from a rich family, and although he's a bit cheeky, he's more nice than rude.
- Sweet Tooth: He loves candy. He loves so much he even had an Imagine Spot about eating the world's biggest candy bar.
- Token Evil Teammate: He's the most devious of the group and tends to take on antagonist roles more often then the main characters.
A Turkish Angora and the optimistic girl of the group.
- Badass Adorable: She is overly cute (or cutesy), but she sure can kick butt when it's called for. She took down an army of corn, cured germs with her family's soup, stopped Ginger from going overboard with the assertive app, and that's just a few to start off with.
- Beware the Nice Ones: The emotional kind of this because she's had moments where she'd lose her happy zone when impatient, being provoked by annoyance, and being labeled as a bad singer in "Angela's Critic" as prime examples of this.
- Can't Take Criticism: When she is claimed to be bad at something she was passionate about, a prime example of this is the "Angela's Critic" episode, she doesn't take things very well and would vlog a meltdown. Much to the point that Tom & company would usually help her cheer up.
- Cheery Pink: She always wears pink shirts and is just as cheerful.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She's much better at hiding it than Tom but she did slip up when she saw him with Parallel Universe Angelica.
- Depending on the Writer: Her ability to take criticism varies. Half the time, she can get upset or sad if no one likes her songs. The other half of the time, she's shown to not mind it and even states that she ignores her haters. One episode even showed both sides just for laughs.
- Innocent Blue Eyes
- Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The light to Becca's dark. Becca's sarcastic and moody, and Angela's peppy and optimistic. They're friends despite the difference.
- Love Confessor: The first time she ever admitted her feelings for Tom was when she told Ben after eating a lot of icecream.
- Nice Girl: In spite of her cheerful naiveté, she along with Tom are the nicest cats around.
- Official Couple: Eventually with Tom.
- Plucky Girl: She's very optimistic, peppy, & motivated with her thoughts and feelings (unless she gets dramatic when being labeled as bad at singing). She can also be very determined with her passionate singing and shares a positive spirit she has when it's called for.
- Relationship Upgrade: Finally happens with her and Tom in the season 1 finale.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: In typical fashion, she is capable of being helpful and wise, but is also quite naïve and cheerful with her positive vibes.
A rabbit and the new girl of the group.
- Ascended Extra: Gets more focus in the 5th season after only appearing in 2 episodes in her debut season.
- Hartman Hips: She has a fairly built figure and thick legs to boot.
- Heel–Face Turn: In her debut episode, Becca starts off as an antagonist who is Angela's rival, but when Becca and Angela find out that their rivalry was a misunderstanding, Becca becomes Angela's friend.
- Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The dark to Angela's light. Angela's peppy and optimistic, and Becca's sarcastic and moody. They're friends despite the difference.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Tomboy to Angela’s Girly Girl, being interested in things like blindfolded parachuting, spooky themed parties, and alien movies.
- Valley Girl: Her personality overall. She can be an really snarky one, and has the tone pf voice to match with it.
