Goofy is one of the world's most iconic cartoon characters and the third member of Walt Disney's quintessential Power Trio, along with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.Goofy first appeared in the 1932 Mickey Mouse short, Mickey's Revue. After a few appearances in Mickey's cartoons and joining up with Mickey and Donald in classics such as Mickey's Fire Brigade, Clock Cleaners, Lonesome Ghosts and Boat Builders, Goofy eventually began to star in his own series of cartoons, with his voice provided by Pinto Colvig (also known as Bozo the Clown).When Colvig left Disney in 1938, Goofy was left without a voice, so Disney made the best of a bad situation and conceived the How to... shorts, where most of the dialogue was done by a narrator, with Goofy's voice provided mostly by stock audio or an imitator until Colvig's return to Disney in 1944. The concept of the How to.. shorts was so well-received that they are a staple of Disney and considered some of Goofy's best cartoons. One of them, The Art of Skiing, introduced his trademark Goofy Holler (YAAAAAA-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOEY!).In The '50s, Disney introduced the "Goofy the Everyman" concept, in which Goofy was transformed into a family man going through common everyday trials such as quitting smoking, dieting, raising children, catching a cold and so on. He is never referred to as Goofy in the shorts of this period (though the title cards still said Walt Disney Presents Goofy)—instead, he's usually named George Geef, though some shorts gave him other names. His character design also changed, making his whole body pale instead of just his face, smaller eyes with eyebrows, removing the long dog-like ears, large buck teeth and his white gloves, giving him a more human-like look and also making him more intelligent and giving him a normal-sounding voice. These shorts depicted him with a wife and son. Often, the rest of society looked just like him, something carried over from the earlier How to... shorts. The humour was also more sedate, mostly poking fun at suburban life in the 1950s. This lasted until Aquamania in 1961, as Goofy reverted back to his old form and voice by 1965's Freewayphobia and Goofy's Freeway Troubles (also known as Freewayphobia No. 2), which were also his last How To... shorts until the 2000s, as well as Pinto Colvig's final performances as Goofy's voice before his death in 1967. After this period, Goofy's appearances slowed down.In comic books of The '70s, he had a Super Hero alter ego, Super Goof, that is still used in Italian and Scandinavian stories.In The '90s, he starred in a new TV series, Goof Troop, in which he and his son Max moved next door to a Lighter and Softer version of Mickey's nemesis, Pete. This led to a movie based on the series, A Goofy Movie. Goofy is the only one of the Power Trio to star in a full, non-segmented theatrical feature film.In recent years, Goofy has re-appeared along with the rest of the gang in the new Mickey Mouse shorts. Goofy is also featured in the Kingdom Hearts video game series as a shield-bearing knight and one of Sora's sidekicks alongside Donald.One of the most noted qualities of Goofy's slapstick humor lies in the fact that when he does something guaranteed to result in Hilarity Ensues (which is just about everything he does), there is a blatantly obvious outcome as to how it will go wrong - for example, falling off a ledge or crashing into something. The obvious outcome should never be the end of it and must in itself lead to Disaster Dominoes that the audience did not see coming.Oh, and for the record, he's an anthropomorphic dog. Most of the time, at least.His current official voice actor, and probably most memorable voice, is Bill Farmer, who is also the current voice of Pluto. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Goofy / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: A trait he got in the Italian Disney comics. Goofy strongly refuses to believe in the existence of magic, no matter how many times Witch Hazel shows him her most powerful magic tricks. The thing is that, while he refuses to believe that Hazel and any actual magic user or object (save for the peanuts that give him superpowers) may actually be magic, he actually does believe in magic... he just never recognizes it when he sees it. | |

Binomium ridiculus | |
| Goofy / int_16fef97b | comment |
Binomium ridiculus: "Freewayphobia" describes three different types of troublesome driver one might encounter on freeways in this fashion: there's the slow, timid, and overly-cautious Driverius timidicus; the bad-tempered, impatient, and aggressive Motoramus fidgetus; and the careless, inattentive Neglecterus maximus. The sequel "Goofy's Freeway Troubles" includes Stupidicus ultimus, the driver who neglects his vehicle's maintenance, drives exhausted or even drunk, and is generally careless on and around the freeway. | |

Enmity with an Object: To quote from Art Babbitt's analysis, "Each object or piece of mechanism which to us is lifeless, has a soul and personality in the mind of the Goof." And so, he often finds himself at odds with such objects as they seem to conspire against him. | |

Mythology Gag: Goofy is often associated with the song "The World Owes Me a Living", which in full tells the story of "The Grasshopper and the Ants". Not so coincidentally, the song first appeared in Disney's Silly Symphony adaptation of the fable, wherein the grasshopper was voiced by Pinto Colvig, the actor who later voiced Goofy. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Goofy / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: Pinto Colvig, Goofy's original voice actor, played the character all the way up to his death in the mid 60's, so as time went by, his voice subtly changed to become less, well, goofy sounding. By the time he last played the character in "Goofy's Freeway Troubles" and "Donald Duck Goes West", his Goofy voice has a lower and more worn sounding voice than he did in the 30's and 40's cartoons. | |

Kindhearted Cat Lover: In both Goof Troop and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Yes, even an anthropomorphic dog is a Kindhearted Cat Lover. Try not to think about that too hard considering it's Fridge Logic.

The Pollyanna | |
| Goofy / int_3e74b72e | comment |
The Pollyanna: It is easy to sympathise with Goofy, but oddly, almost impossible to pity him. For all his innocence and mishaps, nothing can keep him down; he will try and fail, try and fail, try and fail until the end. He is happy with who he is and how the world treats him, and for those rare seconds when he is sad, he will shortly brush it off, move on, and find a way to be happy, no matter what. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Goofy / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: He was more of a Jerkass in his first few appearances in the Mickey Mouse comic strip, stealing furniture to open a detective agency, playing pranks on Mickey's pets, and so on. This was soon dropped and we got the lovably bumbling Nice Guy we all know. | |

Insanely International Ancestry | |
| Goofy / int_486ecd29 | comment |
Insanely International Ancestry: Something especially notable in his comics incarnations is that Goofy has a ridiculously old and spread-out family tree. In almost any given situation where history is brought up, he'll offhandedly mention having a great-great-great-great-grandfather or -uncle from the period and region in question and pop up to his enormous and cluttered attic to fish out yet another centuries-old souvenir that his family stashed there. This eventually got to be something of a classic Running Gag with him. It was eventually deliberately exaggerated in the Italian comic series Goofy's Great-grand-ancestors (I Bis-bis di Pippo), which focused on following en extensive series of Goofy lookalikes through 1800's Paris, Columbus' ships on the way to the Americas, the European Middle Ages, Ancient Rome, China, Greece and Egypt, Babylon, the Stone Age, and eventually culminating in a Precambrian single-celled lifeform that already had Goofy's distinctive ears.This trait was played for drama in an Italian time travel story from the 1970s, where Mickey and Goofy are randomly traveling to various eras. They get drawn to the locations of various ancestors of Goofy, and most of them are villains. While traveling to Babylon, Crete, Carthage, Rome, Medieval Italy, and 19th-century Mississippi, Goofy gets to meet ancestors who work as brutal officers in various armies, professional executioners, and river pirates. And most of these guys attempt to kill him. By the time the duo manage to return to the present, Goofy is sick and tired of humanity's brutal past and its constant warfare. Then he notices some brutal crimes in his present era, and starts worrying about future wars. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
| Goofy / int_6c75e0e4 | comment |
Beware the Silly Ones: Goofy has shown tons of times when he can be pretty tough when the need arises—in An Extremely Goofy Movie, he rushes into a burning building to rescue Max, and he has had many shorts use his lucky while bumbling trait to an more tough, heroic and still flawless degree of an top-dog when facing enemies like "Goofy's Father Lion" with how he treated his enemy Louie the mountain lion, doing this unwittingly no-less and "Two Gun Goofy" of him being The Fool in a heroic way overall are prime examples of this. This is also used as Goofy's trait in several of Romano Scarpa's comic book stories. He is typically content to play second fiddle to Mickey, and he is less aggressive than him in adventure stories. But when Goofy's loved ones are in danger, Goofy gets far more aggressive, more focused and more competent. Spelling doom for the villains, and forcing Mickey to take the second fiddle role. | |

Iconic Outfit: Goofy is an interesting case in the Classic Disney Shorts. Unlike his fellow friends Mickey and Donald, he didn't start out wearing the wardrobe most people today recognize him in, as seen in the image above, which debuted in Moving Day. Before that short, Goofy originally still has his iconic hat, but instead wore a sleeveless buttoned vest, and didn't even wear any pants! The latter outfit, however, regained some prominence thanks to Mickey Mouse (2013). | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: In "No Service", one of the Mickey Mouse series of animated shorts, Goofy runs a seaside grill and so strictly follows the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" policy that he unceremoniously turns Mickey and Donald away because the former does not wear a shirt and the latter does not wear shoes, even if they're his friends and he has known them and their attires for a long time. When Donald tries to gain access wearing Mickey's shoes and red pants, Goofy asks to see an I.D. So Donald digs into the pants and pulls out Mickey's driver's license. In "Tomorrow We Diet!" his inner self is horribly insulting and mean-spirited towards his weight problems and even eats his food in the end after forcing him not to eat! | |

Lovable Jock: His "Sport Goofy" persona in the 1980's, cashing in on his sports-themed cartoons from the 1940's, often involves him helping kids out, especially in children's books. | |

Not So Above It All | |
| Goofy / int_96b89043 | comment |
Not So Above It All: The Narrator in the "How to" shorts often sounds uptight acting as the Straight Man against the Goof's antics, but at times, he would stray off-topic, such as in The Olympic Champ, when Goofy is pole-vaulting and gets stuck, he takes some time to recite some poetry. | |

Kitsch Collection: His attic in the comics is a chock-full, chaotic mess of souvenirs from his or his relatives' travels. Notably, he's capable of finding any single item in a few minutes at most, but only if his collection is messed up; if it's sorted out, he's completely lost. | |

Furry Reminder | |
| Goofy / int_a1d3ebd7 | comment |
Furry Reminder: He has fewer Furry Reminders than either Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Clarabelle Cow, or even Pete, but even he has a few. In Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Willy the Giant refers to him as a dog. In How to Hook Up Your Home Theater, right before his TV arrives to his house, he is shown sleeping on the floor like a normal dog, albeit lying in a human position. In his brief appearance at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Goofy can be heard proclaiming that Judge Doom couldn't have been a dog, which rather implies that he considers himself to be one. In the Mickey Mouse (2013) short "Dog Show", Mickey enters Goofy into a dog show in place of an injured Pluto. In a late-90s Disney Channel promo, while setting up a trap for Goofy using a doggy treat, one kid said to the other: "Wait a minute, is Goofy a dog?" | |

Cosmic Plaything: Especially evident in some of the earlier shorts. A defining example is in the Mickey short "Hawaiian Holiday" where Goofy repeatedly tries and fails to surf a wave. Just when it looks like he's finally succeeded, the wave itself says "oh yeah?" and swats him into the sand. In other words, the world itself likes screwing with him. | |

Bumbling Dad: Much to the dismay of his son, Max. This trope is also played to perfection in the 1950s cartoons where Goofy is depicted as a suburban father named George Geef. A perfect example is "Father's Day Off", in which Goofy, as Geef, is woefully unprepared to take on the responsibilities of running the house in his wife's absence. | |

Snooty Sports: The 1949 cartoon "Tennis Racquet" has many jokes about how unpopular tennis was at the time. A long line of cars that appear to lead to the court is actually going to a flower show. The tightly packed spectators actually take up a small portion of the bleachers. The groundskeeper is seen cutting down six-foot-tall grass before the match as if it hasn't seen action all year; and is seen tending the court during the game, oblivious to the players running around him. | |

Flat-Earth Atheist | |
| Goofy / int_cf1b706e | comment |
Flat-Earth Atheist: Despite (or probably more likely because of) him living in a little world of his own at times, several comics have depicted him as this, most notably the series in which he hangs out with Witch Hazel and refuses to believe that she's a witch no matter how many impressive feats of magic she pulls off in order to convince him. He always has his own explanation for events, most of which are even more fantastic, far-fetched and unbelievable than "it's magic". Several other comics depict him as immune to the effects of hostile magic, purely because he doesn't believe in it and nothing can make him change his mind on the subject. However, according to other stories, he actually believes in magic, he just can't actually recognize it. | |

Cheating with the Milkman: "Father's Day Off" highly suggests this of Mrs. Geef. When Goofy answers the door for the milk delivery, the milkman, eyes closed, kisses him warmly on the lips before departing, stunning Goofy, mistaking the milkman's kiss as him just being friendly. The grocery delivery later repeats the process. By the time the doorbell rings the third time, Goofy is happily expecting a kiss. | |

Must Have Nicotine | |
| Goofy / int_d72164e9 | comment |
Must Have Nicotine: Makes up the bulk of the plot of "No Smoking" (and provides the trope image, for that matter). Goofy, in his George Geef persona, decides to quit smoking, but soon finds that Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere and spends the rest of the cartoon scrambling desperately around town attempting to obtain tobacco in any form. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Depending on the Artist | |
| Goofy / int_d83f3588 | comment |
Depending on the Artist: Disney couldn't decide how they wanted Goofy to look during the 1940s, '50s and '60s. He was depicted with or without his ears, black fur or flesh-colored skin, with or without gloves, with or without buck teeth, and in rare cases, with four or five fingers (as in "Baggage Buster"). This briefly happened again in Goof Troop with the fur/skin color. In the short, Goofy and Wilbur, when Goofy takes off one of his gloves, his gloveless hand is revealed to be flesh-colored. | |

Breakout Character: He started as an extra in some of Mickey Mouse's cartoons and went on to get his own series of shorts, his own television series and his own theatrical movie that was popular enough for a direct-to-video sequel. | |

Stock Scream | |
| Goofy / int_de0df7a0 | comment |
Stock Scream: The famous Goofy Holler. Originally done in The Art of Skiing by Hannes Schroll, a former Austrian Alpine skier and owner of the Sugar Bowl Ski Resort and professional yodeler. He had two others during the 1940s and '50s. These examples were justified due to Pinto Colvig, Goofy's original voice actor, temporarily leaving Disney due to a falling-out with Walt Disney, forcing the company to reuse some of Colvig's voice samples for consistency's sake. | |

Safe Driving Aesop | |
| Goofy / int_e034f77b | comment |
Safe Driving Aesop: "Motor Mania", in which Goofy plays a dual role as kind pedestrian Mr. Walker and demon driver Mr. Wheeler. "Freewayphobia" and "Goofy's Freeway Troubles" were produced to teach how to drive safely in the then-new freeway system, having Goofy play various types of unsafe drivers. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Goofy / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Quite a bunch throughout the world. In Sweden, he's known as "LÃ¥ngben", which means "Long-Legs". In French-speaking countries, he's known as "Dingo", coming from the French word "dingue", meaning "wild" or "crazy", describing Goofy's personality. In Italy, he's known as "Pippo". In Spanish, he is called "TribilÃn", though current translations use his original name. In Portuguese, he is called "Pateta", which is more-or-less an accurate translation (it means "goofball"). | |

Goofy being Goofy, of course, he mounts his horse on the right side, which happens to be the wrong side, which, as the narrator says, "can sometimes lead to slight difficulties", especially since his horse is relatively obstinate. | |

| Goofy / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Went from a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal, to fully clothed, to looking more human with smaller eyes and then back to his previous big-eyed look. Aquamania was the first Goofy short to be inked and painted using the less expensive Xerox method, resulting in a scruffier look than previous shorts. | |

Flanderization | |
| Goofy / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: In the beginning of the Character Exaggeration territory, Goofy was shown to be a normal guy with a fairly normal level of intelligence (although he had some moments of recklessness and imprudence) and his accidents were more due to his bad luck than because of his foolishness. As the stories progressed, and especially in the present stories, his silliness and clumsiness has been exaggerated and he's sometimes depicted as a very dumb person. Then again, the two versions have been mixed from time to time Depending on the Author. | |

Rewind Gag: Often done on the "How-to" shorts, when the narrator asks for the scene to play again. A notable example is "How to Ride a Horse", where the run before a failed jump is run backwards (complete with backwards music) and the horse ends up running up a tree. | |

| Goofy / int_ede89ad6 | comment |
Parental Hypocrisy: One subplot in a House of Mouse episode dealt with him holding back Max from driving lessons because he didn't think he could be a responsible driver. Later, they put on the Motor Mania short depicting his far more irresponsible driving, ending up with Max calling him out and him conceding the point. | |

Domestic Appliance Disaster: In "Father's Day Off", Goofy replaces his wife for a day. A dress got wet and shrinks immediately. Goofy then tries to iron it, but forget the iron on it (granted, he had to answer a phone call). It goes up to eleven as the iron not only tear a hole in the dress , but also burn the plank, then the floor, and finally fell on Goofy's head who was in the room downstairs. | |

Have a Gay Old Time | |
| Goofy / int_fa6bfde9 | comment |
Have a Gay Old Time: In "No Smoking", Goofy desperately pleads a man for a cigarette, listing off various slangs for tobacco... including weed. While the modern-day definition of weed goes as far back as the 1920s, it was also a common phrase for tobacco well into The '50s. Even more literal of this trope, "No Smoking" also included a common British slang for tobacco, fag, before that started becoming an American homophobic slur. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Goofy is much more tolerant and patient than Donald, Daisy and, to some extent, Mickey. However, he hates it when people make him seem stupid or insult his intelligence. He gets angry if he realizes that he's being insulted. Also, do NOT harm Wilbur, his pet grasshopper, or he'll chase you and force you to give him back to him if he has to. | |
