|||
''Main article: [[Rodney J. Squirrel]]'' |
|||
[[Image:Squirrelboypic.jpg|120px|right|thumb|Rodney J. Squirrel (left) and Andy Johnson (right)]] |
|||
Rodney is the character that is the most active with his ideas. His "childish" antics add humor and personality to the series. He often slacks off while Andy does all the work and is frequently annoying Mr. Johnson. He saved his life once. He had a sailor's hat once (actually it was a twelve-pack) and was convinced it sold sandwiches. He loves Darlene. He sleeps in a cardboard box. Voiced by [[Richard Steven Horvitz|Richard Horvitz]]. |
|||
====Andrew "Andy" Johnson==== |
|||
''Main Article: [[Andy Johnson (Squirrel Boy)]]'' |
|||
Andy is Rodney's master and usually follows what Rodney thinks is "a good idea," which usually gets Andy into trouble. At times, though, Andy will be the mastermind of these foolish plans. He seems quite interested in many things, and has a good special sauce. He is a badger scout and he collects combs. Voiced by [[Pamela Adlon]]. |
|||
====Robert "Bob" Johnson==== |
|||
Main Article :[[Bob Johnson (Squirrel Boy)]]. |
|||
Bob Johnson (usually referred to as Mr. J.) is Andy's father who doesn't care much for Rodney and isn't afraid to show it. He often will talk to Andy and say things like, "Andy, what did I tell you about pets touching your food?" Then Rodney will bring some comic relief like, "It's okay Mr. J. Andy's hands are clean." Mr. J. will then just walk away. He has lost in many competitions, such as cheese-log-eating contests or melon-cart racing. He has a collection of clowns in different moods. He's also shown a good amount of unhappiness about losing his hair. Voiced by [[Kurtwood Smith]].Mr. J has made many remarks of paste. Such as the melon kart race episode he thought paste could fix his kart and the episode in which Rodney enters a hair contest Mr. J said something of paste being edible |
|||
====Lucille Johnson==== |
|||
Mrs. Johnson (or Mrs. J.) is one of the characters that, so far, barely talks in the show. Her only main lines so far were in the episode, ''Andy Had a Little Squirrel,'' where her major line was during a cheeselog eating contest Bob Johnson was entered in and she cheered him on so that he could beat his major opponent who is called "the animal." Her main lines were, "Come on you can do better than that," as a coaching line so he could beat "the animal" and win the contest. She is voiced by [[Nancy Sullivan]]. |

|||
====Leon==== |
|||
''Main article: [[Leon (Squirrel Boy)]]'' |
|||
Leon is Rodney's squirrel buddy who lives in the Johnson family's backyard. He is more a squirrel who loves the outdoors than an indoor pet and usually tries to find [[Nut (fruit)|nut]]s. Leon also enjoys running on telephone wires, playing on busy streets, and being out in the sun all day. Though he is an outdoors animal, he still has a working television in his home with cable access. Leon is voiced by [[Tom Kenny]]. |

|||
''Main article: [[Kyle Finkster]]'' |
|||
Kyle Finkster is Andy's arch rival. He first appeared in "Scout's Dishonor", where he was in the Badger Scouts. Kyle got him and Andy in trouble. Then Andy got blamed when Kyle should have. Andy and Rodney were glad they would never see him or his pet/friend parrot again but they moved into Andy's neighborhood as part of Kyle's father's [[Witness Protection Program]].

Voiced by [[Carlos Alazraqui]] It has been implied that Andy was his prison bitch. |
|||
====Oscar==== |
|||
Oscar is Andy's [[human]] friend. He first appeared in "Scout's Dishonor" where he was seen in a TV screen camping and apparently couldn't come. In "Andy Had A Little Squirrel" he befriended Rodney and replaced Andy briefly. In the episode "Best of Best Friends" both Rodney and Andy temporarily make Oscar both of their best friend and constantly fought over him due to both getting in a huge fight and for that time were no longer best friends. Oscar also has a little sister that likes to hug squirrels very tight. Voiced by [[Jason Spisak]]. |
|||
====Darlene==== |
|||
Darlene was introduced in "Pool for Love," when Rodney fell in love with her, though she likes Rodney for a friend. She is a prostitute and doesn't like Rodney because he is gay. She enjoys swimming, ribbons, sap, sunrise, sunset, other furry animals, cooking, and flowers. She is hard to upset or anger, and is calm, gentle, and a sweet personality. Darlene is interested in the paranormal subjects, and uses horoscopes, zodiac signs, and meditation. Darlene is voiced by [[Monica Lee Gradischek]]. She also looks partially like "[[Sandy Cheeks]]", from the [[Nicktoon]] ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]].'' |
|||
==Minor characters== |
|||
====Slurp-Burp-Gurgle-Wurp==== |
|||
Slurp-Burg-Gurgle-Wurp is a big, hairy, drooling, brown spider that was originally going to be introduced in "The Rod Squad". He hid inside Darlene's hair and was to pop out and make Darlene faint and he would say his name confusing Rodney and Leon. However, the fans did not want him so they cut that part out. He would eventually make his appearance in an upcoming episode. |
|||
====Captain Puffy==== |
|||
Captain Puffy is the cereal mascot for [[cereal]] Puffy Pirate Shirt Puffs. He first appeared in ''Harried Teasure'' where there is an actor who dresses like him who is in a treasure chrest with boxes of cereal. He is a parody of [[Cap'n Crunch]] and looks similar to [[Jean LaFoote]]. |
|||
====Argyll==== |
|||
Also known as The Tartan Torpedo, Argyll is a [[Scotland|Scottish]] person and Mr. Johnson's rival. Mr. Johnson claimed that he cheated in the melon crate derbies. |
|||
==Commercials== |
|||
The early Squirrel Boy commercial featured a squirrel going upon it's natural business then a picture of Rodney will quickly flash with a high pitched voice saying "Squirrel Boy" then ending the commercials. Closer to the premiere of the show not including the sneak peek on [[May 27]], [[2006]]. The commercials still failed to make sense but they at least featured humans. It would also have the Cartoon Network announcer saying that Rodney J. Squirrel just raised the bar a little higher while showing shots of the great stuff Rodney could do. |
|||
==Cultural references== |
|||
* In the first episode, when the game Andy's playing is seen on the screen, the level looks identical to the game [[Pac-Man]]. |
|||
* Promotional spots and the official website give Rodney's full name as "Rodney J. Squirrel", a reference to the name of [[Rocky the Flying Squirrel]] from [[Rocky & Bullwinkle]]. His cousin Eddie is a flying squirrel who can fly just like Rocky, rather than glide. |
|||
*After the premiere of Squirrel Boy, they released a music video that featured clips of Andy and Rodney from the first few episodes. Using snipets of [[The Flaming Lips]] song [[The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song]], the music video only lasted about 30 seconds and neither of the main characters had a singing part. |
|||
* The line "The hat sells the sandwich" could have been an idea inspired by the [[Arby's]] logo. |
|||
==Trivia== |
|||
*Richard Horvitz voiced Dag on [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]]'s ''[[Angry Beavers]]''. In an episode of the latter show, his character was stuck on an island in the middle of a highway, a role he gets to relive in episode 7 of Squirrel Boy. Also this episode concept was used in Nickelodeon's ''[[CatDog]]'' where CatDog was trapped on an island in a highway. Horvitz also voices the [[Zim (Invader Zim)|title character]] in ''[[Invader ZIM]]'' and [[Billy (Billy and Mandy)|Billy]] in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]''. |
|||
*In "Scout's Dishonor", Andy tells Kyle about a melon cart race. This is a reference to the ''Squirrel Boy'' episode "Rolling Blunder", which aired after "Scout's Dishonor" making this a mistake in the episode. |
|||
*In the beginning of "Pool For Love," a dog with one eye, a turban and a cape is on the TV, whose name is revealed to be "Puggo". A cardboard cutout of this character can be seen in "The Big Haggle Hassle". |
|||
*In "Wall of the Wild" Rodney breaks Mr. Johnson's clown collection, but in "The Big Haggle Hassle", he has already broken it. |
