Sergio Casagrande

Note: Not to be confused with Sergio from The Sergio Show.

Sergio Casagrande is one of the main characters from Nickelodeon series mh:besttvshows:The Casagrandes and a minor character from The Loud House, he is the Casagrandes’ pet parrot and appears to be kind of a smart beak, as he seems to tease the members of the family.

He's constantly causing trouble by stealing stuff, destroying things, antagonizing people, invading privacy, pulling pranks, insulting others, etc. His unfriendly actions range from being mildly obnoxious to downright villainous whenever he does something bad.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is narcissistic, greedy, annoying, one-dimensional, and only cares for himself, and barley shows that he cares for his own family.
 * 2) His voice can be annoying and grating to listen to.
 * 3) *It doesn’t help that his voice actor Carlos Alazraqui recycled Paco's voice from Maya & Miguel.
 * 4) He always makes a snarky comment and makes fun of his family.
 * 5) He is a karma houdini as he almost never gets punished for his actions.
 * 6) There are a couple of episodes where he is arguably at his worst:
 * 7) *In “Power Play with the Casagrandes” he was responsible for causing the family's power bill to go up even higher by having an all-night party at the mercado and nearly prevented Hector and Rosa's anniversary dinner and says "sorry not sorry" about it.
 * 8) *In “Snack Pact” he blackmails the Casagrande family that if they don't give him or do anything he wants, he'll tell Rosa (who gets jealous when her family eat someone else's cooking) that they're eating tamales from a food truck behind her back, then he enslaved his family into his own personal servants.
 * 9) *In “This Bird Has Flown” he torments Bobby for his own amusement and emotionally manipulated the Casagrande family by pretending to go missing and guilt-trips Bobby for telling him to “fly away and never comeback” and nearly got him in trouble with the police, and the Casagrande family angry at him for confessing and arrived at the exact moment the family blames Bobby and revealed that it was all to teach him a lesson.
 * 10) * In “Cursed!” he intended the kids’ plan to convince their grandmother Rosa that Great Lake City isn't cursed by filming lucky moments around the city to go wrong by sabotaging them in hopes of him winning a film award, which results in each one of them getting hurt instead of getting lucky:
 * 11) **Ronnie Anne tries to eat some cotton candy at the park, but Sergio orders his pigeon friend Sancho to overpower the cotton candy machine, causing a giant ball of cotton candy to roll over her.
 * 12) **Bobby tries to show how great it is to visit the mercado, but then Sergio orders Sancho to put a fish into Bobby's pants and cause a bunch of street cats to storm in and attack Bobby.
 * 13) **The kids try to eat some pizza at a local pizzeria, but then Sergio orders Sancho to kick a sack of pizza dough mix into an oven and cause an explosion of pizza dough all over them.
 * 14) **And insult to injury, he showed the footage of the kids' mishaps to Rosa, furthering her belief of Great Lake City being bad luck and made the family move out of the city and Sergio gets off scot-free.
 * 15) *In “Bad Cluck” he tried to save his own skin by using Bobby as a human-shield, then later it was revealed that the chicken ghost haunting the Casagrandes was and old friend of Sergio named Alfredo, who is haunting them because Sergio wronged him in the past by pooping on his car, injured him on his birthday party, stole his wallet, and when he went to go apologize for hospitalizing him he stole his sunglasses from his head and takes off, which causes Alfredo to die off-screen as Sergio felt no remorse. In present day, the family forces him to make amends with Alfredo, but he doesn't accept the apology and possess Carlos because he wants his sunglasses back, but Sergio refuses to return them as the Casagrande family demands that he gives them back, but he downplays his actions then selfishly tried to weasel out of returning them and even suggested sacrificing Carl instead of returning them. Then the Casagrande family eventually forced Sergio to give Alfredo back his sunglasses which finally makes Alfredo leave and stop haunting them, then Sergio promised to wrong his friends ever again, only for a ghost cow to haunt the Casagrandes afterwards, meaning that Sergio never learned his lesson.
 * 16) *In “Meal Ticket” he prevented Ronnie Anne and Sid from ordering Twelve is Midnight concert tickets by disconnecting their internet to charge his VR headset before going sold out and tried to downplay his actions by saying “what's the big deal” and mispronounces the lead singers name Yoon Kwan to “Spoon Yan” much to the annoyance of Sid. Then later he and his pigeon friend Sancho secretly had VIP passes to Twelve is Midnight despite Sergio acknowledging that he has no idea who the band is and mocks Ronnie Anne and Sid for missing out on the concert of their favorite band.
 * 17) *In “No Egrets” he tried to abandon the baby egrets when they think he's their mother after falling asleep in their nest and Rosa forces him to take care of them and he only agreed to taking care of the baby egrets so that Rosa wouldn't feed him if he doesn't look out for them. Later, he endangered the baby egrets by dropping them from a tree, get them dirty after bathing them, made them eat trash from a dumpster while he eats actual food, and then abandons them to go off to party with his friends.
 * 18) Most of his annoying behavior is intentional and he is shown to be aware of it and actually takes pride in it, evident in some episodes like “This Bird Has Flown” and “Undivided Attention”.
 * 19) Hypocrisy: In The Loud House episode “The Loudest Thanksgiving” Lori shows Bobby while on video chat that Lynn Loud Sr. is cooking a "Turgoosen" (a pigeon stuffed inside a goose stuffed inside a turkey) as Sergio flies by as expresses his disgust and says "Triple Homicide!". But in The Casagrandes episode “Arrr in the Family” he finds and eats a chicken leg, which is not only hypocritical but also cannibalistic.
 * 20) He can’t handle criticism, because in “Face the Music with the Casagrandes” he threatened to scratch Bobby with his talons after he told Sergio he was too sharp.
 * 21) He is often shoehorned into scenes or episodes and has too much screen time to the point where other main characters like Carlitos, the baby, and Lalo the dog can be in the background without speaking lines.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His design is good.
 * 2) He doesn’t always get away with his wrongdoings and gets his comeuppance in a few episodes.
 * 3) *In “Snack Pact” Rosa does find out what the family is doing, but the tamales from the food truck were made from her recipe, as Sergio tried to make his escape but is stopped by Rosa and calls him out for blackmailing the family and they all decide on making him their own servant for dinner in the same manner he treated them.
 * 4) *In “Monster Cash” where he participated in a scam with Carl and Lalo and gets scared from Rosa disguised as El Cucuy and forced them to return the money that they conned from everyone.
 * 5) *In “Meal Ticket” he gets hurt in an car accident that he caused after he antagonized Sid's Breakfast Bot and nearly prevented Ronnie Anne and Sid from going to the concert.
 * 6) *In “No Egrets” he gets attacked by alley cats after he abandoned the baby egrets and grows to care about them.
 * 7) Although rare, he can have a funny scene/line every once in a while such as "Triple Homicide!" despite its hypocrisy.
 * 8) He does have a few moments where he's helpful to the family.

Trivia

 * 1) Sergio is named after a famous comic artist Sergio Aragonés, who is known for his work on MAD Magazine and a comic called Groo the Wanderer.
 * 2) * Sergio Aragonés himself later received a guest role in The Casagrandes episode “Mexican Makeover” as blue parrot named Paco, who is the pet to Rosa's mother Mama Lupe.
 * 3) He not only shares the same voice of Paco from Maya and Miguel, he might have been based off of him due to being an anthropomorphic red parrot that is bilingual and a pet to a Hispanic family. (But Sergio has none of the charm or likability Paco has.)
 * 4) He is implied to be an old parrot because in his debut episode “The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos” Bobby shows surprise when he says that he's still alive.
