Goof Troop

• G.G. “Goofy" Goof[8][9] (voiced by Bill Farmer) is the single father of Max Goof. In the pilot episode, he and his son move next door to the Petes from their trailer home in another city. Goofy's biggest weaknesses are his short attention span, scatterbrain, and clumsiness. He often drives his neighbor Pete up the proverbial wall. Goofy is very calm, lovable, and usually turns the other cheek when Pete insults him (or just doesn't realize he's been insulted). Occasionally, though, he does get angry and defensive toward Pete when the offense goes too far, but is very forgiving and still considers Pete to be his best friend no matter how often Pete is mean to him.
• Maximilian "Max" Goof (voiced by Dana Hill), is the son and only child of Goofy. He is 11½ years old,[10][11] and is in the same grade as his best friend P.J. at their junior high school.[12][13] While he is generally active, alert and friendly, he can also be very cunning and/or coercive when pushed or tricked, sometimes on par with or even exceeding Pete. He loves his dad, and is close to him, but wishes he would be a little more normal, feeling at times embarrassed by his father's clumsy and doting behavior. His interests in the series include skateboarding, video games, rock music, girls, and outwitting bullies. According to an interview with Disney Adventures, voice actress Dana Hill used her normal speaking voice while portraying Max.
• Waffles (vocal effects by Frank Welker) is the Goofs' male pet cat. He is often a victim of the various hi-jinks that go on between his owners and their neighbors, the Petes. At times, Waffles is sneaky, mischievous, and self-serving, often trying to find ways to please himself with either a little extra food or messing with the Petes' dog Chainsaw, with whom Waffles has an antagonizing relationship. Other times, he exhibits a more laid-back attitude, lazily lying about comfortably minding his own business, wanting nothing more than some peace and quiet isolated from all the surrounding craziness of the Goofs' and Petes' lives.

• Peter P. Pete, Sr. (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a used-car salesman who lives with his beautiful spouse, Peg, and two children, his son P.J. and daughter Pistol. He and his family live next door to Goofy, whom Pete has known since childhood. He is dishonest, abrasive, cunning, and very stingy, often exploiting his goodhearted yet addled friend, Goofy, in his schemes to either get rich quick or better his own image. Though, his schemes often backfire, and at times does feel guilty about his horrible behavior and will work to set things right. His wife, Peg, often attempts to rid Pete of his uncouth attitude, and his son P.J. is the complete opposite of his father in behavior. In the series, he is both a co-protagonist and an anti-hero (though sometimes an anti-villain), viscerally hating Goofy most of time while tolerating and even helping him at other times.
• Peg Pete (voiced by April Winchell) is Pete's spouse and the mother of both P.J. and Pistol. Peg works as a real estate agent in Spoonerville. Over the course of the series, Peg is shown to be a headstrong mother who is wise, quick-witted, sarcastic, and at times short-tempered and cantankerous when crossed. Despite her and Pete often clashing over his many underhanded schemes, she does love her husband dearly, with their quarrels serving as a means to bring Pete around and keep him in check, and has been faithfully married to him for at least twenty years. Unlike her husband, she is always happy to see Goofy and Max.
• Peter Pete, Jr. (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is the eldest child of Pete and Peg, Pistol's older brother, and best friend of Max. He and Max are in the same grade and have a very strong brotherly friendship. He is generally shy and timid, but also sensitive and kindhearted. He is often encouraged by Max to take more risks and go along with his ideas to achieve their goals, and usually finds himself on the receiving end of his father's many schemes. He will often play the role of accomplice to those who plot to thwart his father (usually Peg or Max), but has occasionally proven to have enough wits to see through his father's plans on his own. Like Max, he enjoys skateboarding, bike-riding, video games, and rock music, but also has a personal interest in poetry.
• Pistol Pete (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) is the youngest child of Pete and Peg, and is P.J.'s younger sister. She is 4½–6 years old,[14][15][16] and is in Kindergarten.[17][18] Pete absolutely adores Pistol and gives her just about anything and everything she wants with little resistance. Pistol is very cute, hyperactive, and talks with a lisp. She is both a girly girl who loves tea parties, cute animals, baby dolls, and playing circus, and also has a tomboy streak in her fascination with speed, extreme flying, professional wrestling, bugs, and gross-out television. Pistol tends to get herself into mischief, leading to P.J., Max, Pete, and/or Goofy getting into trouble in their attempts to bail her out. Pistol is very talkative, often asking many questions in rapid succession, and constantly annoys or charms some of her fellow characters.
• Chainsaw (vocal effects by Frank Welker) is the Petes' female and pet dog. A vicious and, at times, mean little thing, Chainsaw harbors a strong hatred towards the Goofs' cat, Waffles, whom she often chases and barks at. However, she will at times find herself on the receiving end of some of Waffles' antics as, when not fleeing in panic of her, he may exhibit a streak of cunning and cleverness that Chainsaw doesn't see coming. Other times, Chainsaw can be found minding her own business, burying random objects in the yard or sleeping in places around the living room. On rare occasions, she and Waffles may tolerate each other enough to actually get along for a little bit.

• The How-to Narrator is the snooty and instructive narrator of the classic "How-To" Goofy cartoons brought to life for the modern age by the voice of Corey Burton. He is heard in "Everything's Coming Up Goofy", "Unreal Estate", Goofin' Hood and his Melancholy Men", "The Ungoofables", "All the Goof That's Fit to Print", "Major Goof", "A Goof of the People", "Window Pains", "Gymnauseum", "To Catch a Goof", "Gunfight at the Okie-Doke Corral", "Goofin' Up the Social Ladder", "Sherlock Goof", and "Clan of the Cave Goof".
• Danielle Wrathmaker (voiced by April Winchell), a TV news reporter who appears in "Close Encounters of the Weird Mime", "All the Goof That's Fit to Print", "Goof Fellas", and "The Good, the Bad and the Goofy".
• Spud (voiced by Jerry Houser) and Wally (voiced by Pat Fraley) are two criminals who literally steal Pete's house in "Nightmare on Goof Street", who make off with his RV in "O, R-V, I N-V U", and who hold him for a ransom in "The Good, the Bad and the Goofy", in which they are finally incarcerated. Even though they're dimwitted, they are described in the latter of the episodes as "two of the most wanted crooks in the country".
• Brigadier General Robert E. Lee Sparrowhawk, Retired (voiced by William Windom) is a retired Army general who is Peg's "Uncle Bob" and the great-uncle of P.J. and Pistol. He appears only in "Major Goof".
• Biff Fuddled (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is a TV personality for Spoonerville's local TV station KBOB T.V. and the host of such shows as Odd Facts, Strange Stuff, and Things Too Weird to Fake and The World's Most Painful Home Videos. He also reported the news once and hosted the Mrs. Spoonerville Society Semi-Biannual Househelper Contest. He appeared in "Close Encounters of the Weird Mime", "Slightly Dinghy", "Wrecks, Lies, and Videotape", and "Mrs. Spoonerville".
• Earl of Earl's Auto (voiced by Frank Welker) is Pete's main rival car dealer of the series. Though he only appeared in person in "Rally Round the Goof", his presence is known throughout the series with Pete referring to him or his dealership, Earl's Auto, in such episodes as "Inspector Goofy" and "Goof Fellas".
  • The episode "Major Goof" features another of Pete's rivals, named Earl Yokel, who may or may not be the same person as Earl of Earl's Auto, as his design was quite different from how Earl of Earl's Auto looked in "Rally Round the Goof". In Pete's Day at the Races Earl looks like Maggot, which may be Earl.
• Tan Roadster (voiced by Joe Piscopo) is a longtime rival car dealer of Pete's, having known him for years. Athletic and physically fit, he makes wisecracks about Pete's overweight stature and tries to steal Peg away from him, finding himself attracted to her strong will. He and Pete compete for Peg's affections in the Mount Ladle Winter Games. He appears only in "Gymnauseum".
• Harold Hatchback (voiced by Patrick Duffy) is another of Pete's rival car dealers. He and Pete compete to get a celebrity guest to appear in their dealership commercials. He recycles Biff Fuddled's animation model (meaning that he looks exactly like Biff) and appears only "Buddy Building".
  • Coop Hatchback (voiced by Conor Duffy, real-life son of Patrick Duffy) is the muscular son of Pete's rival Harold Hatchback, and friend of Max and P.J. He used to be known as "Coopie Hatchback", but changed his nickname after building his muscles. He saves Max and P.J. from Leech and unknowingly makes Max feel left out when P.J. begins to take more interest in Coop than he does in Max. In the end, the three of them all part on good terms with each other. His name is likely a pun on "hatchback coupe". He appears only in "Buddy Building".
• Leech (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is a bully and small-time criminal who harasses little kids like Max and P.J., and often steals things from others. He appears in "Buddy Building" and "Maximum Insecurity".
• The Chief of Police (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the no-nonsense chief of Spoonerville's police department. He appears in "Counterfeit Goof" "In Goof We Trust", "For Pete's Sake", "Maximum Insecurity", and "Buddy Building".
• Mayor Baba (voiced by Jim Cummings in "Inspector Goofy", Brian Cummings in "Tub Be or Not Tub Be", and Bill Farmer in "In Goof We Trust" and "Window Pains") is the Mayor of Spoonerville. He appears in "Inspector Goofy", "Tub Be or Not Tub Be", "In Goof We Trust", and "Window Pains" (the latter of which he looks like a completely different person from how he looked in all his other episode appearances). In the episode "A Goof of the People", Goofy himself is elected the Mayor of Spoonerville.
• Giblet (voiced by Frank Welker) is a red-nosed clown with red lips and hair, a party hat and tie, a car horn, and a green suit. He sells balloons at the Spoonerville Aviation Fair in "Hot Air", works with the Circus Ringmaster in "Three Ring Bind", and sells balloon animals (while also assisting both Max and movie star Ronald Streudelnossher with their respective problems) at Lake Zester in "Buddy Building". Giblet is often seen as abrasive and rather self-serving towards everyone including kids, like Pistol.
• The Circus Ringmaster (voiced by Corey Burton) is the main antagonist in the episode "Three Ring Bind", in which he and Giblet try to sell their circus's animals to be made into puppy chow. He and Pistol become bitter enemies after the latter comes to the circus, plays with his animals, and then brings the animals home with her.
• Douglas Twinkmeyer (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is a student at Spoonerville Jr. High School. A know-it-all who's called "Twinky" in gym class, he was formerly the most respected kid in school for being the chief of the Safety patrol. But after being exposed as the mastermind behind a plan to corner the market on a certain baseball card's value, which involved two bullies beating kids up for their money, he was reassigned to patrol Pistol's preschool. He is featured in "Lethal Goofin'", but can also be seen in the background of several other episodes.
• Tooth (voiced by S. Scott Bullock) and Nails (voiced by Candi Milo) were Douglas's bully henchmen who helped him carry out his plan by taking other kids' money so the two could buy all of the students' Lefty McGuffin baseball cards for Douglas to destroy, making his own Lefty McGuffin card the only one in existence. They were stopped by Max and P.J., with Tooth and Nails being sentenced to two weeks of clapping erasers in detention hall. They are featured in "Lethal Goofin'", but can also be spotted in the background in other episodes.
• Dutch Spackle (voiced by Charles Nelson Reilly in "Unreal Estate" & Michael Bell in "A Pizza the Action") is a handyman Peg hires in "Unreal Estate" to help Pete fix up their lake house so she can sell it, but Pete fires Dutch to replace him with Goofy after Pete spends most of Dutch's work fee on a new fishing device. Later, in "A Pizza the Action", Dutch is seen as a truck driver sent to tow the Goofs' house away after their pizza business failed, but ends up towing the Petes' house instead after a mix up.
• Bubbles (voiced by Jennifer Darling) is a friendly, green pigmented, dragon-like dinosaur that hatches from an egg found by Max at Spoonerville's lake. Bubbles's gender was presumed by Max to be female, but Pistol used male pronouns (In the book adaptation, Bubbles is male). After she hatches, Max tries hiding Bubbles in his and Goofy's basement, but Goofy soon finds out about Bubbles after she grows bigger and bigger. Once she gets too big, Max and P.J. try to hide her from Pete, but Pistol finds out about Bubbles and helps expose her to Pete, who chases Bubbles through town after she had eaten his favorite chair. In the end, Goofy finds Bubbles's mother and helps her to save Bubbles from Pete. Bubbles and her mother return to the lake where she and Max bid farewell to one another.

The "Goof History" episodes saw Goofy relating stories to Max from the family photo album about their various ancestors and family members, and also featured historical counterparts to several of the show's present-day main characters and supporting characters.

• Sir Goofy of Knock-Knees A.K.A. Goofin' Hood, the greatest bowman in all of England, is Max's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddad, and a spoof of Robin Hood. He appears in the episode "Goofin' Hood and his Melancholy Men".

Additionally, on September 28, 1993, the Goof Troop episode "Have Yourself a Goofy Little Christmas" was released together with the Darkwing Duck episode "It's a Wonderful Leaf" on one VHS cassette as a special release called Happy Holidays with Darkwing Duck and Goofy![25][26] On October 5, 1993, the Goof Troop episode "Hallow-Weenies" was released together with the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers episode "Ghost of a Chance" on one VHS cassette as a special release called Boo-Busters.[27][28] The episode "FrankenGoof" was released with the DuckTales episode "Ducky Horror Picture Show" on another special VHS release titled Monster Bash.

On November 26, 1993, three VHS cassettes containing 6 episodes of the series were released in Australia and New Zealand.

On February 14, 2006, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released Goof Troop: Volume 1 on DVD in Region 1.[29] This one-disc release features three episodes, including "Slightly Dinghy", "Wrecks, Lies & Videotape", and "Shake, Rattle & Goof", with no bonus material. Many fans did not buy Goof Troop Volume 1 because it has only three episodes and additional episodes were only available on VHS. At the time, many fans were still waiting for Disney to put out Goof Troop Volume 1 again with more episodes.[30] The DVD release of A Goofy Movie features one episode titled "Calling All Goofs", but the intro is removed. A Disney Movie Club exclusive DVD titled "Have Yourself A Goofy Little Christmas" contains the holiday special of the same name.

In 2013, Disney Movie Club released two new volumes of Goof Troop on DVD.[31] Each volume released from the Disney Movie Club includes 27 episodes of the show for a total of 54 episodes released, leaving 25 unreleased episodes to go.[32]

Goof Troop Volumes 1 and 2, in addition to "Have Yourself a Goofy Little Christmas", had a wider retail DVD release in January 2015[33][34] and were Wal-Mart Exclusives in Canada ahead of that wider release date.[35]

The entire series (barring the curious absence of the episode "Counterfeit Goof") is currently available in HD for purchase on Amazon Prime Video,[36] Google TV[37] and the iTunes Store[38] with the episodes being split into five volumes/seasons.

The series has been available to stream on Disney+ since its launch on November 12, 2019,[39] with the exception of the stand-alone holiday special "Have Yourself a Goofy Little Christmas".

It was also previously available on the DisneyLife streaming service in the UK, including the episode "Counterfeit Goof" which is missing on other streaming platforms.[40] DisneyLife has since been rebranded into Disney+, upon on the latter service's launch in that region on March 24, 2020.
