===A Goofy Movie===
Goofy and his son Max co-star in A Goofy Movie, which is based on the characters' appearances in the previous Goof Troop TV series. The film focuses on the father-son relationship between Goofy (who is clumsy, goofy and not very intelligent) and Max (who is a teenager who doesn't want to be like his father). While Goofy seems to be in denial about Max growing up, Max is embarrassed by his father's clumsy antics, leading to some tension between them.
After Max gets into trouble on the last day of school before summer break, Goofy worries that his son is turning into a delinquent. To make amends, Goofy decides to take Max on a long summer trip to Idaho, against Max's protests.
Along the way, he meets Pete, whom he asks for parenting advice, as Goofy feels that his previous attempts are only driving Max away. Pete recommends a strict approach, which he believes his son P.J. respected, but when he sees P.J talking to Max, it's very clear that he's mistaken respect for fear. Goofy finds that the strict approach doesn't work for him and rejects it. He decides to give Max more responsibility by making Max the navigator and letting him choose the stops. It seems to work, but when they stop at a motel, Pete tells Goofy (with some glee) that his son has been cheating on him. Goofy refuses to believe him at first, but his confidence is shaken when he discovers that Pete was right and that Max changed the map so that it led to Los Angeles rather than Idaho.
After an argument that results in their car floating down a river, Goofy and Max finally have an open discussion together. Goofy learns that Max has a crush on a girl from his school named Roxanne and that his earlier problems at school came as a result of trying to impress her. Max agreed to go on a date with Roxanne, but had to cancel because of the trip. To impress her, Max lied and claimed that Goofy was taking him to a concert in Los Angeles and that the two of them would be on stage with the band. Goofy understands his son's reasons and decides to help Max get to the stage.
Suddenly the two head over a waterfall. Max is rescued, but Goofy falls until Max saves him using a maneuver called "The Perfect Cast" - a fishing cast that Goofy taught Max earlier. Goofy and Max somehow make their way to Los Angeles and end up on stage at a concert where they end up dancing with a rock star celebrity that all of Max's friends are watching on TV. When they get home, Max, with Goofy's support, explains his lie to Roxanne and apologizes to her. She forgives him and Max takes the opportunity to introduce her to Goofy.
===Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas===
In Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, Goofy stars in the segment "A Very Goofy Christmas", which takes place chronologically before Goof Troop and revolves around Goofy trying to prove the existence of Santa Claus to Max (after Pete tells Max that Santa doesn't exist ) to keep his son's faith and his own belief in Santa alive.
The segment begins with Goofy helping Max write their letter to Santa, but they miss the mail truck and have to chase it on Max's bike. After a short cut through the local mall, the father and son duo catch up to the truck just in time for the letter to be delivered. Later, as the two shovel snow from the driveway, their neighbor Pete laughs at their belief in Santa, prompting Max to question whether or not Santa exists. Goofy assures his son that Santa does exist, and later at the poor family's house, Goofy dresses up as Santa to revive Max's faith. However, Goofy is quickly unmasked, leaving Max disappointed. Insisting that Santa must exist, Goofy waits all night for Santa to come. But when Santa doesn't come, Goofy's troubles are interrupted by him falling off the roof: The event Goofy promised Max doesn't happen except for his promise that Santa will come.
With his faith now seemingly nullified, Goofy sinks into a state of depression. Max tries to cheer up his father in the same way that Goofy tried to do it for Max earlier: Max dresses up as Santa, restoring his father's faith. But when Goofy tries to get "Santa" to meet Max, he ends up chasing the disguised Max down the chimney, where Max is accidentally unmasked and explains to his father that he just wanted to make his father happy. Goofy is moved by this and the two embrace. In the end, Goofy's faith is confirmed after all when the real Santa finally arrives and gives Max the present he had asked for earlier.
Goofy and Max then appear during the special's finale and join the rest of the main cast in singing a medley of famous Christmas carols.
In the sequel to A Goofy Movie, Goofy becomes an empty nester after Max leaves for college. His resulting depression leads to him performing poorly at his job, which subsequently gets him fired. In order to get a new job, Goofy has to get a college degree, which he never got before in his life because he dropped out before finishing his senior year. Goofy decides to go to the same college that Max attends. While there, Goofy joins the Gamma Mu Mu fraternity and begins a relationship with school librarian Sylvia Marpole. Max is supportive at first, but eventually snaps at Goofy and disowns him completely, telling him to take his own life. This hurts Goofy to the point that he flunks his first midterm exam and forgets about his date with Sylvia. He considers leaving, but is re-inspired by Pete as he remembers that his main purpose in returning to college is to get his degree. As Goofy regains his focus, he goes through all of his half-flights and leaves the Gammas.
Halfway through the semester, Max is scheduled to compete in the College X Games and Goofy learns that the Gammas are planning to cheat in order to win. He tries to warn Max, but Max ignores him until one of the Gammas tricks sends P.J. Without a team member, Max's team will be disqualified. Max realizes that Goofy was indeed telling the truth and that Bradley tricked him into rejecting Goofy as his father so that he could win the games and stake the towel boy for himself. At last he came to his senses and felt remorse for how badly he had treated his father; Max apologizes and asks Goofy to join as the third member, to which Goofy agrees. Seeing Bradley Uppercrust III, the leader of the Gammas, about to kick Max out of the final leg of the event, Goofy uses his lucky horseshoe to knock him out, but is unable to stop Bradley from sabotaging the final race, sending Max and Bradley. teammate Tank flies into a giant X Games logo, much to Goofy's horror. After Goofy saves Max and Tank, he and Tank help Max win the final race against Bradley.
After the school year ends, Goofy earns his degree and leaves with Sylvia, intending to leave Max at college to pursue him. Before Goofy leaves, Max gives him the X Games trophy as a parting/apology gift to show how much Goofy means to him by writing an inscription that says, “I may not be your little boy anymore, but I'll always be your son. "."

==Television appearances==
===Walt Disney's Anthology Series===
On television, Goofy starred in several hour-long compilation films that originally aired as episodes of the Walt Disney anthology series. These specials included "The Goofy Success Story", "The Goofy Sports Story", and "The Adventure Story".
===The Mickey Mouse Club===
Goofy appears in the animated opening for the original 1950s version of the TV series. He is seen playing various instruments during the Mickey Mouse March and at the end he is holding a trampoline while Mickey bounces on it.
===The Mouse Factory===
Goofy has repeatedly appeared in live-action skits alongside other costumed characters and celebrity guests.
===Goof Troop===
The 1990s animated show Goof Troop featured Goofy in a slightly different setting than his classic portrayal. In the show, Goofy is a single father to his young son Max, with whom Goofy shares a loving relationship. In the pilot episode, the two move into the house next door to his old friend Pete, who is often angry with Goofy, much to his knowledge.
Goofy's portrayal in the series often balanced his typically goofy antics, with his goal of being a good father to Max. To teach Max lessons, Goofy often told stories of Goof's past ancestors. Occasionally, some of Goofy's past has been revealed, although it should be noted that this history only seems to be mentioned in the show itself. The town of Spoonerville where they lived was Goofy's hometown. He grew up with Pete and believed him to be a friend, even though Pete was sometimes more hostile.
The series never specifies what his occupation is, unlike Pete, who is a used car salesman, and Peg, who is a realtor. Some episodes suggest that Goofy is either a handyman for hire or an inventor. In "The Count of People", Goofy actually becomes the mayor of Spoonerville at the end of the episode, although due to the non-canonical episodic nature of the show, this is never mentioned again outside of that one episode.
===Bonkers===
Although he does not appear on screen, Goofy is one of the tools Gloomy the Clown uses to steal his sense of humor by using Ludwig Von Drake's Humorizer (which Gloomy abuses as a De-Humorizer) in the episode "The Toon That Ate Hollywood".

Goofy reappears in the Mickey Mouse Works animated series. In the Goofy series, he plays the same roles as in the classic shorts. Goofy is reintroduced in the How To cartoons along with the narrator. In "Mickey's Mistake", he appeared as a visitor who asked Minnie if she had seen Mickey.
===House of Mouse===
Goofy appeared in House of Mouse as the head waiter of the titular club. Goofy's son Max Goof also appeared in House of Mouse as a nightclub valet, so Goofy juggled not only his conventional antics, but also the fatherly role depicted in Goof Troop and A Goofy Movie. In this series, Goofy also reveals that he is in love with Clarabelle Cow as in another series when he asks her out in the House of Mouse episode "Super Goof".
Many episodes revolve around Goofy, including "Not So Goofy", where Goofy feels down after many complaints directed at his constant clumsiness that night. For make-up, he learns how to act like a gentleman from José Carioca. Eventually, Mickey and the gang learn to appreciate Goofy's antics so he reverts to his old ways. "Super Goof" shows Goofy becoming his superhero alter ego Super Goof via radioactive peanuts. In "Goofy's Menu Magic", Goofy temporarily takes over as head chef. His initially terrible cooking suddenly improves with the help of the Fairy Godmother's wand.
Goofy was also a secondary character in episodes revolving around Max. In "Goofy for a Day", Goofy challenges Max to be a waiter when Max decides that work is not important. In "Max's New Car", Goofy refuses to let Max have his vehicle because he feels his son is not responsible enough. However, he changes his mind when Max and Mickey are able to remind him that he was once the same (via clips of Goofy's Motor Mania cartoon). Finally, in "Max's Awkward Date", Max was off work and on a date with Roxanne at the House of Mouse and all the main Disney cast members (Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy) were embarrassing him until Goofy, who Max originally thought was will be the most awkward to deal with, he cuts between Max's date and the House of Mouse leadership (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Clarabelle and Horace again) to give Max and Roxanne some privacy. for night.

Several episodes revolve around Goofy, the first being "Goofy's Bird", where Goofy and Mickey travel to the forest to return Baby Red Bird, who Goofy adopted. Another recurring role is that of Super Goof. In the episodes "Goofy's Super Wish" and "Super Goof's Super Puzzle", Goofy became his famous alias Super Goof to solve clubhouse problems. Goofy's romantic interest on the show is Clarabelle Cow just like Goofy's previous TV incarnations. At the beginning of the series, Goofy only fell in love with Clarabelle, which later developed into a relationship. Goofy was also the first main character to be used as a tool for a mouse, which took place in the episode "Minnie and Daisy's Flower Shower". The show's running gag involves Goofy and Donald getting into an argument over something rather childish. The series also depicts Goofy being fluent in several animal languages ​​including turtle and chicken. In this series, Goofy also serves as Clarabelle's boyfriend.
Goofy also appears in several episodes of the spin-off series Mickey Mousekersize, and along with being one of the friends, Mickey gives Goofy healthy tips and occasionally co-hosts with Mickey and Toodles.

He also appears to have enlarged intestines and appears to be hunched over. He generally plays the role of Mickey's troubled but well-meaning best friend.
Goofy first appears in the episode "No Service", where he appears as an incredibly strict employee of a snack shack. Although Goofy is shown to be rather aggressive in this episode, he still maintains his characteristic gentle and lovable personality when dealing with customers who follow the company's "no shirt, no shoes, no service" policy, causing storyline conflict for Mickey and Donald . He even stated that he wanted to run a fancy business, which explains why he was so strict about the rules (ironically, he squashed a bug with a spatula he was cooking and was seen picking his belly button at work).
Goofy's more traditional personality, with his cheerful and innocent nature, returned in the episode "Stayin' Cool", where he, Donald and Mickey tried their best to keep cool during the hottest day of the year.
As in the classic Goof cartoons, where he often played multiple extra characters, Goofy can be found in a variety of roles throughout the series. For example: in addition to his aforementioned role in "No Service," he played a woman in "New York Weenie," a zombie version of himself in "Ghoul Friend," a band conductor in "The Adorable Couple," and a gardener. in "Flower for Minnie". Even so, several episodes revolve specifically around him as well, such as "Potatoland", "Sleepwalkin'", "Goofy's Grandma", "Goofy's First Love", and "Workin' Stiff".
The episode "Good Sports" paid homage to earlier Goofy cartoons in which Goofy played multiple (if not all) characters in one short.
In the episode "Gone to Pieces", Goofy used roller skates to get to Mickey's house because his bike was being repaired, causing him to lose control and break into pieces. Mickey and Donald try to fix it, but each attempt ends up coming back in pieces. Mickey gets the idea to reverse everything and put Goofy back together.

Although not to the level of Ludwig Von Drake, Goofy is noticeably smarter than the other incarnations here, while still retaining his eccentric personality.

Goofy appears in the third season of DuckTales in the episode "Quack Pack!". His appearance is based on his Goof Troop incarnation and has the job of a photographer like in A Goofy Movie. Goofy is brought into Donald's wish to have a regular life in order to serve as a crazy neighbor character in an interpretation of Gene the Genie's wish to "turn reality into a 90s sitcom".
When Donald confides in Goofy about why he made his wish, Goofy explains to Donald how "the best photos are the ones that aren't all staged and purdy." To illustrate, he pulls out his wallet to show Donald many photos of himself with his son Max. These photos don't always show Goofy in his most flattering light, but the photos represent the true reality of Goofy's family life and the real memories he made with his son. When Donald asked, "Is it so bad to want to be normal?" Goofy replies, "I guess every family has their own normal." This wise advice from Goofy convinces Donald to finally (with his family and Goofy's help) find the lamp and get his wish.
Afterwards, everyone is shocked to see that Goofy was actually there the whole time, with Gene explaining, "Magic ain't got nothing on a big-name guest star!"

However, he quickly discovers that he lacks the necessary ingredients to cook the meal. Goofy improvises using several inedible items from his house. Still, he ends up enjoying the food he cooked.
In "Binge Watching", Goofy binge watches his favorite TV show. As he gives his full attention to the performance, he stretches his neck to allow his body to perform the few activities it needs to do (such as receiving pizza, ironically with a mask, and putting on pajamas). His focus ends up being so strong that at the end of the short series, he somehow sleeps while watching his show, eyes completely open.
