Puppet characters voiced by Strassman include: •
Chuck Wood - A 1950s era-looking wooden ventriloquist puppet whose character cracks crude jokes, makes fun of other characters, spits and vomits. The puppet can also be remotely controlled. For the latter half of
Careful What You Wish For, an alternate universe version of the character is presented as
Charlie and sports a shaved, tattooed head and goatee, a look which carried over to Chuck in the sixth special,
iTedE. •
Ted E. Bare - A soft
Teddy bear hand puppet whose character is naïve, inquisitive, slow, innocent and is often the butt of Chuck's jokes and pranks. For the latter half of
Careful What You Wish For, an alternate universe version of the character is presented as Theodore Bare, who smokes cigars and headbutts Strassman several times. •
Sid Beaverman - A North American
beaver whose character is an aspiring stand-up hack comic. For the latter half of
Careful What You Wish For, an alternate universe version of the character is presented as Sidney Australia Wellington, a koala. •
Kevin - An Alien puppet made of foam latex and controlled manually by Strassman. Similar in appearance to
Crazy Frog •
Grandpa Fred - Ted E. Bare's grandfather who has
dementia. During the latter half of
Careful What You Wish For, an alternate universe version of the character is presented as
Grandpa Frieda, an old transgender bear. •
A.N.G.E.L - Strassman's first female puppet, A.N.G.E.L is a robot
android. A special mechanism is required to make Strassman's voice sound female. •
Buttons the Clown - A manually operated clown puppet who appears drunk. •
Little Ricky - A baby puppet that acts extremely nice to Strassman. In earlier performances, Little Ricky was portrayed as Strassman's nephew. •
The Dinosaurs - Strassman's robotic dinosaur puppets who sing pre-recorded songs. •
Vinny - Based on the story of the avaricious king Midas. He had no shortage of gold, yet despite his wealth, he desired even more gold. Strassman's non-puppet characters include: •
The Crows - Strassman's robotic puppets who are aspiring musicians and when commanded to begin can't stop sneezing or belching. They have also been substituted by a trio of dinosaurs who actually sing. •
Mr. Invisible - An auditioner for Teddy's replacement. Strassman requires his stage hand to put on what would be assumed as a complex puppet. In fact, the segment was made up entirely of Strassman talking to his hand (Chuck: Strassman's finally lost it, Strassman's finally lost it). Strassman accidentally frustrates him by asking, "Do you have any special talents?" This prompted him to say, "...I'm invisible." •
Guido the Teddy Impersonator - A sleazy character who looks almost exactly the same as Teddy, but with a misshapen head. He was apparently put in jail for impersonating Teddy (and other crimes, such as drugs and prostitution). He also attempted to replace Teddy when he tried to leave the show. •
Charley - Though not actually a puppet, Charley is the commercially available programmable robot, Robonova, from Hitec. Strassman brought out Charley, a small toy puppet, just for kicks while the auditions were taking place. At first Strassman pretends to shoot Charley and he reacts in the expected way and other such cheap tricks. Chuck then instructed him to do several difficult tasks (stand on one leg and act like a chicken, do a cartwheel, do a handstand), which he accomplished with ease. Chuck, as it turns out, hacked Strassman's computer to made Charley do that. His final instruction: Kill the Audience. Strassman scoffs at the idea when he is forced to get rid of the approaching robot. •
Mumbles - Another potential replacement for Teddy. Strassman was quite happy to give him a shot, but realized that he forgot to make him a mouth and had to fail him. ==Television shows and appearances==
