Factor in a burly neighborhood bulldog named Bob and a Love Interest named Olivia (introduced in later seasons), and you have a great slapstick set-up. Oggy is sometimes helped by his cousin Jack, a green cat with a knack for mechanics and a short fuse. Their sole purpose of existence is to have fun with Oggy by pulling a series of practical jokes. Each 7-minute short (there are at least 351 of them) follows the life of the rotund blue cat Oggy, who has the misfortune to share the same house with three cute but exceptionally mischievous roaches: Dee Dee, Marky and Joey. This time-honored formula, featured in many Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry shorts, gets a revival in the Gaumont (France's premier film studio) production Oggy and the Cockroaches ( Oggy et les Cafards- 1998-1999, 2008, 2013, 2017), believed to have debuted in Space Goofs episode "Venus Junior".
Hilarity Ensues, until houses are leveled, forests are ravaged, cities are lain waste, and the world goes Kaboom!! Then they start it all over again in the next episode. Both parties get caught up in an escalating spiral of cartoon violence. You know the drill: some character pulls a mean one on another.
From top to bottom: Oggy, Joey, Dee Dee, Olivia, Marky, Jack, and Bob.
