===Bellboy Donald===
He served as the main antagonist in the short, torturing Donald Duck up until Donald spanked him real hard as revenge. It is unknown if he reformed after this, or if it was some other time prior to his next appearance.
===Before Goof Troop===
Before meeting Max, P.J. did not have any friends. Sometime prior to the show, he won a sand castle building contest at the golf center. It is unknown if this was before or after meeting Max.
===Goof Troop===
In this series, P.J. (around 11-years-old) lives in Spoonerville with his parents Pete and Peg and his younger sister Pistol next door to Max and his father Goofy. He and Max met in the pilot episode of the series after Max and Goofy moved to the town and became best friends and have had many adventures together. Mostly, P.J. is usually against his father's schemes and plans to make a buck or get rid of Goofy. Pete usually treats P.J. like dirt sometimes, and mostly, he stiffs him and Max out of money when they do some chores for him.
===A Goofy Movie===
P.J. (now around 14-years-old) along with his other friend Bobby help Max impress his crush Roxanne by hijacking their school's stage during assembly and put on a concert with Max playing Powerline, a popular singer. Unfortunately, they are caught out by Principal Mazur and are sent to his office to be punished much to P.J.'s dismay as he was worried how Pete will react. He later appears with Pete in their mobile home where they are living in for the summer holidays and meets up with Max and Goofy who are going fishing for their summer holidays. He and Pete stay at a motel and meet up with Max and Goofy again where later that night Max tells P.J. that he changed Goofy's map from leading them to the place they were going fishing to Los Angeles instead where there is a Powerline concert unaware that Pete hears this and goes to tell this to Goofy. He is last seen once again in the mobile home where he is doing chores when he notices Max and Goofy on TV at the Powerline concert and points this out to Pete who in shock ends up spewing his drink on the TV screen.
===An Extremely Goofy Movie===
P.J. (now 18) goes off with Max and Bobby to attend college where they start a rivalry with Bradley Uppercrust III and his fraternity The Gammas and compete against them in their college's X Games. He also falls in love with one of the students, Mocha Chino (Beret Girl) who returns his feelings and they start a relationship with each other at the end of the film.
===DuckTales (2017)===
P.J. makes an appearance in the reboot of DuckTales, where he worked at a cotton candy stand. He appears in a picture of Goofy's wallet when Goofy fell into his stand. P.J. was surprised by it.
==Relationships==
===Maximillian "Max" Goof===
When they first met, they were startled. They felt unsure about each other when they were set to be friends by their parents. But when Max got to see P.J.'s room and admired his stuff, they started bonding. They have been best friends since then.
However, there have been rare mishaps between them. One time, Max thought P.J. betrayed him and called off their friendship; but after P.J. tried fixing things up between them and the truth was revealed, they reconcile. Also when they were trying to figure out the reason for Goofy's supposed water-wasting, Max found a device that pointed the evidence to Pete to whom P.J. was temporarily offended for. But despite the many conflicts, they remain best friends.
===Family===
====Pete====
P.J. fears his father greatly, suggesting that Pete is highly abusive of his son. However, they were both afraid of heights and tried to hide their fears from each other. When they both found out, they did not take it well. However, they eventually reconciled, accepting each other's fear of heights.
====Pistol====
Pistol always tries to get her brother to play with her.
