”Cricket Ernest Green is the main titular protagonist of Big City Greens. He is the second born and only son of Bill and Nancy Green, and Tilly's mischievous and optimistic younger brother who has moved to Big City with his family to stay with his Gramma Alice.
== Appearance ==
=== Physical ===
Cricket is a short and thin boy with a slightly large head, bright yellow skin, bucktooth, and light brown hair in a bowl-cut style with both sides bare.
=== Attire ===
: For more of Cricket's outfits, see Cricket Green/Outfits.
Cricket wears turquoise blue overalls with a light blue-gray shirt underneath it. He is usually seen barefoot because he hates wearing shoes, though there are some exceptions. Cricket starts wearing shoes more frequently in Season 2.
=== Other Ages ===
As a baby and a toddler, Cricket wore a blue t-shirt and diaper. His bowl cut was completely full and covered his forehead, and had two protruding hairs sticking up at the back. He also had a single small tooth. As a toddler, he wore a red t-shirt.
As a small child, Cricket wore smaller versions of his trademark overalls, without the shirt. His bowl cut began to develop slightly, losing the protruding hairs and gaining bumps at the top. He also had two buckteeth.
In Cricket's imagined future, he looks the same as he does now, but with longer limbs.
In Baby City Greens, he wears nothing but a diaper, which is blue. The diaper also has a safety pin in it. He has eyelashes and an ahoge (hair strand sticking up) as well.
== Personality ==
Cricket is a mischievous yet optimistic boy. While he is often a goofy kid, he is also very mature when he needs to be. His curiosity and enthusiasm leads his wildly out-of-place family on epic journeys. He usually determines himself if he's willing to handle a challenge that comes in the way. This is best shown in "Cricket Versus", throughout the episode, he was willing to determine himself to claim the Green family name, which in addition to that being placed on the Green family quilt, by trying to catch and wrestle a wild ferocious animal, but he couldn't find any. Only then he realized that his Gramma was a perfect person to wrestle with, so he wrestled her and gained a spot on the Green family quilt.
His actions can lead to either unrest in the family, unrest among other people or even city-wide chaos; this is best shown in "Space Chicken" where his simple act of trying to launch a chicken into space caused massive damage to his surroundings, and even to people's belongings. Even though Cricket may cause a lot of problems, he means well. Though this is not common, some of his actions are done with a varying degree of malicious intent, as seen in both "Green Christmas" and "Shark Objects" - in the former episode, he tries to prank everyone's Christmas out of spite, causing him and Tilly to land on the naughty list, and in the latter episode, he uses a toy shark fin to scare everyone out the beach, unknowing of the consequences; to the point he was almost harpooned by the lifeguard, who mistook him for a real shark.
He can be greedy and seems to be easily blinded by riches, as seen in "Wishing Well" and "Flimflammed", where he obtains Tilly's savings and $100 respectively, and isn't above conning others to get money, as seen in the latter episode. Every time he gets money in any form, it looks as if he can't save it; he instead blows it on unimportant things, such as Barry Cuda and Snakey ("Barry Cuda" and "Cheap Snake".)
He also had an aversion for responsibility, until the events of "Critterball Crisis", where he got a job working at Big Coffee with Gloria and slowly started to accept responsibility (following the events of "Chipwrecked" however, he and Gloria got fired and no longer works there). However, he is also shown to be outraged over certain things, such as chores and work. But nevertheless, he is able to handle them on occasion. If he has to, Cricket will do the hardest of work; this is shown in "Clubbed" where he single-handedly closed up the cafe while Gloria was out at a nightclub with her friends. Another example of hard work that he'll do anyway is when he downed the Crispy's Sundae Challenge all by himself (with the tradeoff of being incredibly bloated). He'll also do whatever it takes to upstage the family nemesis Chip Whistler, even if it gets him into a near-death situation.
He also doesn't seem to care about his own body, like when he threatened to use his injured arm as evidence to squeal on Tilly to their dad for breaking his arm. ("Cricketsitter") In Ding Dongers, he is shown to have a tough body, since he is able to get hurt a lot without having to go to the hospital.
Despite his rambunctious behavior and occasional selfishness, Cricket has shown in episodes to be a nice and friendly person who will stand up for others in trouble. An example is shown in "Critterball Crisis" where he pins the destruction on himself, barely saving Gloria from unemployment. He is also very honest; if he has promised something, he will do anything it takes to make good on it. ("Cricket's Shoes") He has also treated his family to a very big meal at Crispy's, the top family restaurant in Big City, purely out of kindness. ("Desserted")
While he is usually a cheerful person, Cricket's sensitive side is very rarely shown; for example, when Phoenix disappeared due to not attaining to her needs, he became very upset and tried to search for her all over town. At a biker's bar, he learns someone already took her and left, causing him to break down and cry, thinking he'd never see her again. ("Phoenix Rises")
Though Cricket is usually a nice guy, once a year he gets a "wild urge", referred to by Bill as "the itch", which causes him to become a feral, ballistic animal-minded boy where he loses complete control of himself and acts like he belongs in the wild. The only thing that can rid him of this wild behavior is if Bill takes him camping out in a vast forest, where he is able to eventually calm him down and cure his wildness. If Bill fails to do this however, the wild side gets worse and he starts going loose all over town, and he eventually forces others to follow in his footsteps until it wears off. ("Wild Side")
== Abilities ==
=== Talents ===
* Agility and Strength:
** Multiple episodes have put Cricket in a situation where he would be seriously injured, though his tough body has endured. In "Football Camp", Russell says that Cricket exhibits a great deal of agility. An example of this is in "Ding Dongers", where he is able to take some taxing injuries thanks to Remy constantly using him for the sake of online popularity.
* Fixing Problems: As stated by Remy in Mansion Madness, Cricket is able to solve his problems, despite his somewhat low intelligence.
* Determination:
** Cricket is quite determined for a kid his age, which landed him a spot on the Green family quilt, for example; he may even use this determination to do a taxing thing himself, like eating the sundae in "Desserted" and single-handedly closing up Big Coffee in "Clubbed".
** He was also able to face the Cyber Knights in "Cyberbullies", and is the only one not afraid to stand up to them. He is also determined when fighting Chip Whistler, willing to go far to one-up his arch-nemesis.
*** Focusing on a certain task for unusually long periods is another sign of ADHD, although people with ADHD struggle to focus on tasks they are not particularly interested in completing, they are often able to maintain an unusually prolonged and intense level of attention for tasks they do find interesting or rewarding; this is known as hyperfocus.
* Courage: Cricket is remarkably brave. This was shown in multiple episodes, most notably Swimming Fool, when he let go of the high dive's support structure and fell into the pool despite his fear. This is also shown in "Chipocalypse Now", where he jumps off the Mega-Store to escape death in the hands of Chip. However, he strangely did not do this in "Blood Moon".
* Psychic Link: In Phoenix Rises, Cricket mentions a psychic link between him and Phoenix.
* Music: Throughout the series, Broken Karaoke shorts and "Okay Karaoke", Cricket is shown to be a good singer.
* Dancing: Cricket also has an affinity for dancing, as shown in numerous episodes.
* Acting Skills: In "Cricket Pranks Chandler", Cricket puts on a convincing Santa impression, which is able to convince Chandler Kinney. However, he quickly drops such upon learning unauthorized impersonation is illegal.
* Pranks:
** Cricket is a potent prankster; in "Volunteer Tilly", he gets into a prank war with Gramma, and is shown to move the doorknob to prank her in "Super Gramma!".
** He also engages in prank calls on the regular in the Random Rings shorts, even taking his prank calls to Ebenezer Scrooge to help the Clauses with their Christmas trouble.
* Swindling:
** As shown in certain episodes such as "Shark Objects" and "Flimflammed", Cricket tends to swindle and manipulate others.
** In "Cricket Versus", Cricket pretends to surrender the fight to Gramma to trick her into letting her guard down so he can pin her down and complete the rite of passage.
** In "Santa Calls Cricket", he uses this affinity of his for good, manipulating Ebenezer Scrooge so she says "I love the holidays". In "Cricket Pranks Chandler" and "Launchpad Calls Cricket", he uses it to try to get money, as he tries to swindle Chandler Kinney and Launchpad McQuack to give him money in any form.
* Dream Manipulation: In "Dream Weaver", Cricket discovers he can mess with people's dreams and even change them; however, his changes can often lead to the dream turning into a nightmare. He manages to fix his family's dreams by getting them to be calm; in the end, he decides not to manipulate dreams again.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Disruptive:
** Cricket's actions may easily disrupt the peace of everyone around him, and may even cause city-wide chaos.
** A prominent example is shown in "Space Chicken" when he misinterpreted Bill's advice to make a good impression and tried to launch a chicken into space, resulting in chaos in the neighborhood and damage to property.
** He has been called a "young disruptor, and they didn’t mean that in a good way", in Little Buddy.
* Disagreeing:
** Due to his recklessness, Cricket often doesn't agree with anyone, making him rather stubborn. This is best exampled in "Raccooned" when his trapping ideas are more straight-forward than Bill's rational ones, and the two bicker over who ruined whose, leaving Gramma to call them out.
** In "Bleeped", he refuses to stop cussing against Bill's wishes, claiming he cannot control what he says, something his father comes to eventually realize. His stubborn side has also been showcased in "Fast Foodie" where he isn't easily convinced to give up fast food after Bill sees the adverse effects.
** In "No Service", he refuses to wear shoes at Sip 'n Snak because of his principles about being barefoot.
* Greed: Cricket is known to be easily blinded by riches, as seen in "Wishing Well" and "Flimflammed". However, this was not the case when he confronted Itchaboi in "Bad Influencer".
* Selfishness/Egocentricity:
** At times, Cricket is shown to be very selfish; this is best shown in "Green Christmas", where he ruins Big City's Christmas only because he was put on the naughty list. In Little Buddy, he only participates in the Big Buddy, Little Buddy program to obtain free pizza.
** Multiple episodes also show Cricket's egoistical side; an example is in "The Room" where he says that "everyone loves livin' with Cricket", complimenting himself while comparing Tilly to a lowly "house plant". He also invaded Gloria's space in "Elevator Action".
* Rage: While done out of pure care for his friends and family in some cases, an example shown in "Chipocalypse Now", Cricket has shown fits of rage. These fits of rage may or may not lead to his abovementioned disruptive personality.
* Impulsiveness: As best shown in "Cheap Snake" with Snakey, Cricket is known to have moments of impulsiveness and does things without even thinking. This is alluded to in "Okay Karaoke". Cricket claims to live his life by the motto “Don’t think, just do!”, which he saw in a shoe commercial once.
* Lack Of Responsibility: Unlike his older sister and father, Cricket is shown to lack a tinge of responsibility, be it taking care of something or handling money. Cricket is unable to take care of Snakey in "Cheap Snake", only doing so by the end of his time with it due to it turning against him and his friends, and he is shown to be unable to keep money, as he spends it on unimportant stuff. This is not shown in Clubbed, since he was responsible enough to close up for the day.
* Gullibility:
** Cricket is very gullible, as shown in episodes like "Flimflammed" where he unknowingly goes along with John's pyramid scheme for his own selfish benefit of wanting more money.
** The biggest example of this was when he was led to believe Chip Whistler changed his ways in "Reckoning Ball", something he recognizes was on him ("Big Resolution") and truly feels sorry for, following the shutdown of Big Coffee in "Chipwrecked", which led up to such.
** A lesser example of this is Cricket completely falling for the "Cousin Jilly" disguise Tilly put on, despite it being very obvious Jilly was Tilly the entire time (her voice, the clothing, hair, buckteeth and freckles especially giving it away).
* Inability To Pay Attention: As with most kids his age, Cricket has trouble paying attention to anyone. In "Quiet Please", he has a tendency to get extremely bored and distracted, and has to keep his brain stimulated otherwise he'll go off; Chris Houghton hinted Cricket has Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
* Loudness: In "Quiet Please", Cricket claims being quiet is the hardest thing he can ever do. This is shown when he brings noisy toys to keep from being distracted, and forgets the restriction against noise when he gets a book he likes, and is almost banned for it.
* Unfamiliarity With Modern Tech:
** Likewise with his family, Cricket has shown to have very little knowledge toward modern technology and electronic devices due to living off the grid in his whole life. The only time this is depicted positively is in "Cyberbullies", where Cricket says he has no electronics to begin with, leaving him invulnerable to the Cyber Knights.
** In "Coffee Quest", he tried to call Tilly on Gloria's phone, but didn't know how to turn it on. In "Sellouts", Gloria discovers his lack of technology and says he needs it in order to let people know what they're selling at their stand, and teaches him.
** However, beginning with "Big Picture" in Season 3, Cricket has become familiar with modern tech and is shown using it more fluently, and eventually gets his own phone and tablet.
* Laziness/Sloth:
** As shown in most episodes such as "Cricket's Place" and "I, Farmbot", Cricket shows a despise toward chores and isn't willing to do them.
** However, there are times when he actually does want to help out, such as when he helped Bill remodel the bathroom in "Tilly Tour", and when he helped fix the roof and re-plant the carrots in "Reckoning Ball".
* Gluttony: Cricket's gluttony isn't shown that much in the series, but has been shown twice. In "Desserted" and "Fast Foodie", Cricket eats a shockingly large amount of food, fattening him up; however, the former instance is done out of determination.
* Lack Of Intelligence: Cricket is known for his low intelligence; Russell Remington mentions in "Football Camp" that Cricket "has no brains whatsoever". This trait of his may be offset by his thin and agile body. In "Trivia Night", he acknowledges that he is not very bright, and his "real smarts" contain only 2 facts.
* Lack Of Hygiene: Cricket is frequently seen barefoot and called his feet filthy in Flimflammed. His feet are shown to be dirty in No Service. In Cricket's Biscuits, when he confronts Gramma, he said "to pry it from my buttery unwashed hands". In Green Mirror, he called his hands "grimy" with something green on his hands. In Big Trouble, when Gramma said he has bathed for the first time in days, he then says weeks.
* Disrespect, Especially Towards Authority Figures: Going off his laziness, as shown above, Cricket at times can be disrespectful to those with authority. In Hurty Tooth, he repeated what an assistant said when he was called in, blew a raspberry and acted rude and difficult towards Dr. Enamel. In "Cricket's Place", he wrote "EAT IT" on a fence instead of painting it, when instructed by his father. In "Wishing Well", he called Officer Keys a "law man".

== Trivia ==
* Cricket is 10 years old, as confirmed by various source releases and the Random Rings short "Cricket Pranks Raven".
** Cricket is one of only three characters, along with Gramma and Remy, to have a confirmed age.
* From "Space Chicken" to "Phoenix Rises" his voice was low pitched, but then starting at "Blood Moon" his voice was a little bit higher pitched.
* Inspirations for Cricket's character:
** Cricket's name was mentioned by his voice actor, who remembered as a child tried to get his classmates to call him that, though this was unsuccessful. In addition, Cricket's characteristics are based on his voice actor.
** Cricket's hairstyle is loosely based on the one Chris had as a child. (pictured on the right)
*** Ironically, Cricket's physical appearance is somewhat based on Jeremy Birnbaum from Star vs. the Forces of Evil, due to having a thin and short stature, similar hairstyle, and donning buck teeth.
** Cricket's hairdo is also reminiscent of Moe Howard of The Three Stooges. This is especially noticeable as a toddler.
** His bucktooth is similar to that of Timmy Turner from The Fairly OddParents.
** Cricket's behavior is somewhat a bit similar to Bart Simpson from The Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants from the series of the same name, as he is mischievous and disobedient like the former, and optimistic like the latter.
*** Another aspect of his personality he shares with Bart is that he loves to prank-call unsuspecting people. (Random Rings) The victim has also threatened both boys once (Ebenezer Scrooge threatened Cricket in "Santa Calls Cricket" while Bart has been threatened by Moe multiple times)
** His complicated plans and egoistical demeanor, and sometimes kind-heartedness, are similar to Gumball Watterson from The Amazing World of Gumball.
*** Coincidentally, a doll of Cricket can be seen in Polly Plantar's room in the Amphibia Season 1 episode "A Night at the Inn"; Matt Braly, a former director on Big City Greens and the creator/director of Amphibia, added him in as an Easter egg.
** Cricket's tendency to be selfish and blinded by riches seems to be similar to Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants. Although, Cricket takes it to a much lesser extent.
** Cricket's clothes when worn as a toddler are the same by Tommy Pickles from Rugrats.
** Cricket being reckless and impulsive, disliking his job, having a tendency to destroy stuff (he has caused over $70,000 US dollars in property damages), lacking social skills, use of malapropisms, have prank-called someone, being disrespectful to someone with authority, coming up with schemes to get money fast, lack of hygiene and being slow-witted is similar to Beavis and Butt-head from the show of the same name.
** Cricket sharing his middle name with his grandfather is like Lincoln Loud (Ernest Green, Albert "Pop-Pop" Loud; Cricket Ernest Green, Lincoln Albert Loud).
** Cricket being mischievous, greedy and egocentric, coming up with schemes to swindle people and having a reputation for being a troublemaker is similar to Carlino "Carl" Casagrande from The Casagrandes.
* In "Cricketsitter", it is revealed he has a square metal plate attached to the back of his skull when seen through an x-ray, the origin and purpose of such has yet to be mentioned.
** Gravity Falls’ Ford Pines also shares this trait, though in Ford's case the plate is placed at the front of his skull. Ford's use case scenario is to shield his mind from Bill Cipher.
** When asked why Cricket has the metal plate, Chris Houghton responded "he's had it since the incident".
* He is best known for his catchphrase "Bingo bango!", which he says when he has a plan that either he had gotten, or succeeded. The origin in-show is unknown, but the phrase actually originates from Bingo Bango Bongo, a variant of golf which can be played by a group of two, three or four players.
** However, in "Uncaged" Nancy says it, so he may have gotten it from her. Additionally, in "Friend Con", Gramma says it. It is currently unknown where he gets the phrase; it could just run in the family.
** Remy is seen saying it in "Gabriella's Fella"; this could be because he spends so much time with Cricket.
** Chip says it as a taunt in "Chipocalypse Now"; it is ironically repeated back to him by Cricket just before he is slung out of the city.
** Chase says it in "Little Buddy" before performing the stunt with Cricket.
* In "Cricket's Shoes", it's revealed he's already been working at Big Coffee for three months.
* He bears a striking resemblance to his ancestor Bixby Green. ("Family Legacy")
* In the Latin American Spanish dub, his name was translated as "Grillo", which means "Cricket".
* He cannot sleep without Tilly snoring as revealed in "Sleepover Sisters".
** However, it is currently unknown how he was able to sleep without hearing Tilly's snore after Tilly got her own room in "Country Side".
* Prior to "Bear Trapped", he had an inexplicable aversion for bears; he'll usually put bear traps around the house, only for unwary people (e.g. Bill in "Space Chicken") to trip them.
** He describes them as "horrific uncivilized creatures". This was until the events of "Bear Trapped", where he, Tilly, and Remy stumble upon a lost stray bear named Daisy who somehow got lost. Initially, Cricket was harsh towards the bear, before Daisy was taken away by animal control; his own doing.
** However, he and the others were able to set her free in the sewer.
* With Tilly's absence in "Date Night", Cricket is currently the only character to appear in all episodes. However, Cricket doesn't appear in all the shorts. Tilly didn't technically appear in "Time Crisis", as her imagined future counterpart appears in her place.
** The only Big City Greens material Cricket did not appear are "Tilly's Cats" (not counting the title card), "Tilly Calls a Library" and "Gramma Calls an Electronics Store", in addition to some Random Rings shorts where Tilly is the main focus (eg. "Tilly Calls Meg").
* In the theme song and "Welcome Home", he was shown sitting in the front seat of the Kludge; in America, children must be of age 8-12 or older to sit in the front seat of a car and must be at least 4'10 (1.2 meters) and in some states must weigh at least 100 lbs (45 kg).
* Despite being a child (around age 10 at least), Cricket sounds like he's 15–25.
** This is common with animated series.
* He likes the number 3. ("Paint Misbehavin'")
* He prefers donuts over bagels because he dismisses the latter as "boring". ("Paint Misbehavin'")
* Apparently, Cricket saw love as a bad thing up until "Valentine's Dance", which was why he was unwilling to accept Gabriella's offer to dance.
** This could be the reason he is disgusted by the romance in Kiss of Death ("Rated Cricket").
** From "Gabriella's Fella" onwards, Cricket finally acknowledges the true feeling of love, and would go on to have a girlfriend.
* Prior to its closure in "Chipwrecked", and his subsequent firing, Cricket was the only member of the family to have a paying job (at Big Coffee). However, he did not receive money like Gloria does (with a few exceptions, including "Barry Cuda").
** However, this is ironic due to his aversion for chores (prior to “Critterball Crisis”), his age (well below the minimum age required to work) and the fact his father does not technically have a job, as he is only an independent seller (excluding “Night Bill”).
** Technically, Cricket can be said to work for the Green family farm.
* Since Cricket and Tilly had discovered in "Family Legacy" that the farm is threatened to be sold every generation if the kids don't act up, it is unknown if either he or Tilly will decide to sell the farm once they are old enough to run it.
* Cricket doesn't like to be called a "good kid", preferring to be known for his rambunctious actions. ("Uncaged")
* Cricket is the only member of the Greens to have an unusual first name.
** According to a Tumblr Q&A, Chris Houghton confirmed "Cricket" is indeed his real name.
* Cricket was originally going to be named "Bucket."
* While not stated within the show, Cricket seems to suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as several episodes depict him as being impulsive and hyperactive and he sometimes strays from important tasks for his own amusement. This is heavily exampled in "Quiet Please", as he shows he has a hard time paying attention and reading because he has an overly-stimulus brain, and claims being quiet is way too hard.
** However, the first animated Disney Channel protagonist confirmed to have ADHD was Gretel Grant-Gomez of the most recent animated Disney series Hamster & Gretel.
* According to Bill, in "Tilly Tour", Cricket once had soda when he was just a baby.
** In the same episode, he broke something of Bill's which is unknown.
* Cricket hates wearing shoes. This character trait is somewhat similar to Rapunzel in Tangled.
** Although, in "Green Christmas", he internally wore boots, mainly due to the fact that his feet would not withstand the snow nor the ground being extremely cold. The same said for being in the extreme heat like in "Heat Beaters".
** However, Cricket starts wearing outfits with shoes more frequently in Season 2.
** In "Cheap Show", Bill mentions he got a pair of shoes for Cricket, but he chose not to wear them on account he would get them dirty.
** In "No Service", it was revealed Cricket has a principle in life of not wearing shoes and chooses not to wear them unless the situation mandatorily calls for them, such as in the snow or to play ball.
* Cricket was the first character in the series to speak (counting both "Space Chicken", the first aired episode, and "Welcome Home", the first episode chronologically).
* Cricket apparently keeps a frog in his front pocket. It is only seen in the intro, the episode "Remy Rescue" and at the beginning of Gramma's Theme Song Takeover. Chip also has a picture of the frog on his evidence wall in "Chipwrecked". Chris stated that the frog is "always just kinda chillin'" inside his pocket with Shane commenting that he was "the kind of kid" who would do that.
* Whenever Cricket's hair is hanging or parted upwards, the curved center section resembles devil horns, to befit his mischievous nature.
* In "Hiya Henry", Cricket is revealed to suffer from severe automatonophobia, the fear of ventriloquist dummies.
** In the same episode it is revealed Cricket's eyes are light blue.
* In a Tumblr Q&A, Cricket claimed that his spirit animal was "one of those frogs that can shoot blood out of their eyes". He is most likely referring to the Texas Horned Lizard, sometimes referred to as Horned Frogs.
* He hates the flavor cherry. ("Green Streets")
* In "Garage Tales," Cricket states he's a Flat-Earther.
* Cricket drinks milk before going to sleep, as shown in “Sleepover Sisters”, "Night Bill" and “Dream Weaver”.
* Cricket is the first kid on the show to be in a romantic relationship with someone.
* "Cheap Show" revealed that Cricket thinks Bill's full first name is "Billiam".
* In "Cheap Show" Cricket says Little Country Blues is his favorite show.
** Little Country Blues is a parody of Big City Greens itself in the way that the main character is is a little boy wearing overalls with his catchphrase being "Dingo-dango!". This character is a parody of Cricket himself.
** In "Animation Abomination", he is also shown to be a fan of Kingdom Of Lore after having seen just one episode and had a hand in shaping the season finale along with Tilly.
* "Quiet Please" reveals Cricket is into graphic novels.
* "Impopstar" reveals he laughs at the word "toot". He also snickers in "The Gifted" upon hearing the word.
** However, he hears "toot" in "Rated Cricket" and says the word himself in "Urban Legend", and did not laugh otherwise. This could be a later development.
** According to Amaryllis, Cricket's face has a rich baby softness to it.
* He enjoys pop and hip hop music, as shown in "Okay Karaoke".
* "Bleeped" reveals Cricket's middle name is Ernest, the same as his late grandfather's.
** Cricket is the third character to have their middle name revealed after Gramma and Gabriella.
* As of "Ding Dongers", Cricket is the only main character who does not have a smartphone, as whenever he calls someone, he solely uses the home phone.
** He used a smartphone temporarily in "Impopstar" and "Gramma Driver" without any trouble; he does not have either due to the former being stolen and thrown away by Amaryllis and the latter presumably taken back to the store by Bill.
** He tried to use Gloria's phone in "Coffee Quest", but couldn't, due to his lack of knowledge on modern technology, brought by living off the grid all his life.
** He also used Bill's flipphone without trouble in "Mansion Madness".
* According to Cricket’s voice actor, Chris Houghton, Cricket has caused up to $72,471.82 in U.S. currency worth of property damage.
* He was initially the pitcher of the Sue-Zers, but when Nancy joined, he moved to left field after Benny was bumped off.
* During "Skunked", Cricket longed to become a hero, fully fulfilling his dream in the aforementioned episode by saving everyone who was trapped in Big Coffee from a skunk attack. However, he is considered to have become a hero in "Chipocalypse Now" when he played a part in Chip Whistler's banishment, saving Elkins Street from being razed.
* According to Cricket’s voice actor, Chris Houghton, Cricket's favorite Beatles song is Octopus's Garden.
* Cricket is so far the latest main protagonist from a Disney Channel animated series to be a male.
** Later Disney Channel animated shows would have female main protagonists like Anne Boonchuy from Amphibia, Luz Noceda from The Owl House, Molly McGee from The Ghost and Molly McGee, Gretel Grant-Gomez from Hamster & Gretel, Lunella Lafayette/Moon Girl from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Kiff Chatterley from Kiff, & Hailey Banks from Hailey's On It!.
