- AN EXTREMELY GOOFY MOVIE SERIES
Depending on the Writer: Goofy has always been a pretty silly yet earnest character who has his head in the clouds, and in this series, how naive and oblivious he is varies depending on the episode. Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: There are moments of this, usually when he's protecting Max, such as in "Max-imum Protection", where the burglar booby traps he set up around the house do a fantastic job of catching their prey, or "To Catch a Goof" where he trains to be a ninja. In a few other episodes like "Wrecks, Lies & Video Tapes" and "Peg O' The Jungle", he also partakes in elaborate ruses to teach Pete a lesson about selfishness. The Conscience: In a few episodes like "Where There's A Will, There's A Goof" and "Goofs Of A Feather", Goofy tries to act as one to Pete by holding him to his moral responsibilities. Pete and Max in particular find it annoying, but Peg and PJ tend to humor him more. Cloudcuckoolander: He has bizarre logic that no one else on the show can follow. Bumbling Sidekick: He screws up nearly every Zany Scheme he's a part of, and yet, for some reason, Pete always insists on using him. Bumbling Dad: Goofy is a great parent, but due to his clumsiness, stupidity, and/or difference in personality to his son, he ends up causing some issues anyway. In the second film, after Goofy had been overly clingy towards Max and overly reliant on his son to fill the void in his life, he takes it pretty hard when Max finally snaps at him to leave him alone and get his own life. In the first film, after they finally seemed to be making some progress towards repairing their rocky relationship, Goofy is gutted to discover Max betrayed his trust on their road trip and had been lying to him the whole time, interpreting it as a sign that Max neither loves him or respects him. Break the Cutie: Both of the movies, at some point, push Goofy towards his threshold of despair in regards to his relationship with Max. Birds of a Feather: He and Sylvia are both Disco Dan types.
Big Eater: "The Incredible Bulk" reveals that Goofy is quite the bottomless pit who can eat an insane amount of food and never gain any weight.
AN EXTREMELY GOOFY MOVIE MOVIE
Either when finding out his son lied to him in A Goofy Movie or throwing a horseshoe at Bradley in An Extremely Goofy Movie, Goofy is very capable of frightening Tranquil Fury when pushed too far.
Beware the Silly Ones: Given Goofy being a klutzy, Nice Guy who is not all that bright, it wouldn't be hard to assume that Goofy being angry is not possible. Back to School: In the second movie, to Max's horror, he decides to enroll in the same college as his son. Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: If it's not embarrassing enough that he ends up following Max to school (twice, although the two events are mutually exclusive), it certainly is that he continues to baby Max in public when Max is a teenager. All-Loving Hero: He doesn't appear to have a bad bone in his body, and is always willing to help out. Aesop Amnesia: Similar to Max, Goofy has learned a few times now that he should be a bit less doting and a bit less intrusive when it comes to his son's personal life, but it's a lesson that never quite manages to stick. AN EXTREMELY GOOFY MOVIE SERIES
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: While Goofy has been a father to a son before this series (in his solo shorts from the 1950's), all the stress, fears, mistakes and heartbreak that comes with being a parent causes this incarnation of him a lot more emotional distress than it ever did before, especially in A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie, where the fights between Goofy and Max are played for drama.
Even in An Extremely Goofy Movie, which is set seven years after the main series, the pair are still shown to hang out in their spare time. In the Goof Troop universe, the two of them are rivals and frenemies who team up to solve a problem about as often as they're pit against each other. In many continuities before and after this one, Goofy and Pete's dynamic is entirely antagonistic (and occasionally murderous).
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: With Pete. Accidental Athlete: In An Extremely Goofy Movie when he interferes with Max's practice and is even offered a spot with the Gammas by complete accident. He ends up with Sylvia in An Extremely Goofy Movie.
He's the next door neighbor of the Pete family, and is often brought into Pete's schemes as a sidekick. The good-natured but clueless father of Max.
