The season finale adds catfishing,privacy violations, identity theft, blackmail and online stalking to his list of crimes, and it earns him two years in a federal facility.]]

[[folder: "Hot Janitor"]]
One of the janitors at St. Bernardine. He was allegedly a key witness to the last Turd Burglar attack, but he quit suddenly the day after.
----
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Even the teachers refer to him only as "Hot Janitor". Deconstructed, when Peter and Sam could not even get his name and had to reach him through someone who bought shrooms off of him.
* HiddenDepths: during his interview, he reveals some pretty in-depth knowledge of local botany and methods of sustainable farming.
* KickedUpstairs: He didn't actually quit: He was quietly transferred to a sister school with better pay. Presumably, the best way to keep him quiet was to leave him content.
* NoNameGiven: His actual name is never revealed.

[[folder:Kevin [=McClain=]]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Travis Tope
A socially awkward bullied kid who becomes the prime suspect in the Turd Burglar case.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: Kevin's awkward mannerisms, smug persona and elaborately anal-retentive methods of "properly" enjoying tea can all be indicators that he is on the autism spectrum somewhere, and it is discussed in-universe by one of his classmates, but dismissed just as quickly. Though said classmate doesn't know Kevin very well, and certainly isn't qualified to make or dismiss a diagnosis.
* ButtMonkey: He's constantly getting mocked at school, even if he doesn't see the other kids' jokes as taunts.
* ClearMyName: Chloe gets Peter and Sam to make American Vandal season 2 in order to revoke Kevin's expulsion and clear his name of being The Turd Burglar. [[spoiler:He isn't. But he did cause the Brownout.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: mostly. While at the end of season 2 [[spoiler: his expulsion and his house arrest for causing the Brownout stands, his charges drop from three counts to one, and given the circumstances and his age his record should be sealed when he turns 18. He sincerely talks about looking forward to a new start at public school next year, and most importantly he has Tanner and Chloe back in his life as close friends.]]
* {{Expy}}: His tea review vlog series seems to make him one of Reviewbrah.
* {{Foil}}: To Dylan. While Dylan is [[spoiler:genuinely innocent]] of drawing the dicks, [[spoiler:Kevin did the Brownout, as well as being pretentious to Dylan's dumb.]]
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Kevin presents himself as an intellectual. However, he tries to insult Damarcus's poetry but completely blanks trying to think of a famous poet to compare him to.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Dubbed "Shit Stain [=McClain=]" since he was a kid for sitting on grass that made it look like he soiled himself.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Kevin had this reaction after [[spoiler:the Brownout, not realising how many people drank the lemonade (he doesn't think it's very good) or understanding just how dramatic an effect the Malitol would have (it was provided by someone else). It's one of the reasons (besides his manipulation by the Dean of Students) that he confesses to the police.]]
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: A variation. He embraced the embarrassing nicknames he received and cruel pranks so he could fit in.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: What comes to mind when watching a performance by Kevin's 'band' The Horsehead Collective. Honestly, it would probably be a huge hit on the avant-garde scene.

[[folder:[=DeMarcus=] Tillman]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Melvin Gregg
St. Bernie's star basketball player and one of the Turd Burglar suspects.
----
* BittersweetEnding: At the end of season 2, [=Demarcus=] has had [[spoiler: his blackmail photos released, been sentenced to community service, and probably lost several scholarship offers.]] However, [=Demarcus=] credits this as an impetus to change his life in positive ways;[[spoiler: he's taken control of his life by ditching his Puppet Master sidekick and refusing to follow his father's dictates for college. For his community service he's started a free basketball clinic for the kids in his low-rent neighborhood, which he loves and credits for helping him rediscover his love of the game. He ends up choosing to go to college at Villanova (which should be noted had the number 1 ranked college basketball program in real life that same year), evidently still on full scholarship. And since [=Demarcus=] seems to be on track for a future as a professional athlete, the catfishing and subsequent moral dilemma and scandal is quite possibly a harsh but needed lesson that will help him avoid much worse pitfalls later in life.]]
* BookDumb: Although it's not really his fault: Athletes get easier classes on purpose so they can focus on training. He gets Biology credits by taking Zoology (where you get points in a test by correctly naming a picture of a ''zebra''). Still, he does show some interest and talent in English.
* BreakTheHaughty: Although nowhere near as bad as some examples, [=DeMarcus=] can be somewhat dismissive and entitled as part of his BigManOnCampus role. [[spoiler:It's revealed that he is deeply lonely and sad inside due to feeling like everyone only values him for sport.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: At the end of Season 2, [[spoiler: he is given community service for being an unwilling accomplice to the Turd Burglar. He is seen serving by coaching kids in basketball, claiming he enjoys it dearly.]]
* HiddenDepths: He managed to write a decent poem, even if it got him mocked by students from rival schools when the poem was posted without his approval.
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Every student at St. Bernie's loves [=DeMarcus=], to the point where it's suggested that he can get away with murder.
* ItsAllAboutMe: [=DeMarcus=] is a friendly guy who's never mean to anyone, but he's also extremely self-involved because of his fame and privileges. He openly takes phone calls during class and he is frequently condescending or passively insulting to the people around him.
* KarmaHoudini: The star of St. Bernie's decorated basketball team and easily the most popular student in school. He is known for toeing the line every now and then, going as far as answering his phone in class, because he knows he is that valuable to the school. As a matter of fact, his theorized motive as a suspect in the Turd Burglar case is pretty much "because he could get away with it". [[spoiler: ultimately subverted: he was a part of the attacks, but only because he was being blackmailed by the true mastermind. In the end he gets community service for his role, and more importantly, his reputation is ruined.]]
* LonelyAtTheTop: As king of the school and a future basketball superstar, he's extremely popular and friendly with everybody, but deep down he's incredibly lonely and suspects all his friends of being phony.
* LovableJock: Everyone at school adores him and, to be fair, he's also presented as being a pretty nice guy, despite Peter and Sam's suspicions.
* NiceGuy: He's fairly pleasant, even when being pressed about potentially being the Turd Burglar. He even apologizes to Peter for walking out of the interview.
* SheepInSheepsClothing: He is beloved by students and teachers alike for being a popular , yet kind and friendly student, but is he? [[spoiler: Yes, yes he is. Zig-zagged in that he did commit one of the Turd Burglar attacks, but he was being blackmailed.]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' [=DeRon=] Horton
[=DeMarcus=]'s right hand man who sees himself as [=DeMarcus=]'s best friend, but everyone knows Lou is more like his personal assistant/butler.
----
* ControlFreak: A role he apparently shares with [=DeMarcus=]'s dad.
* FairWeatherFriend: Implied to be this to [=DeMarcus=], [[spoiler:and especially as he calls the police on his idol just to keep him in line]].
* TheManBehindTheMan: Perry Coleman says he and [[=DeMarcus=]'s father are this to [=DeMarcus=], and [[spoiler:his scenes with [=DeMarcus=] later in the season confirm this, though [=DeMarcus=] is able to get out from under his "best friend"'s thumb by the end of the season.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Obviously qualifies when it's revealed he is [=DeMarcus=]'s co-puppetmaster, but keeping his "best friend" apart from his idol and calling the cops on Skip Day solidify him as this.]]
* TheSvengali: Played with. Lou clearly sees himself as this, but he's mostly [=DeMarcus=]'s lackey, but they do have a similar relationship of Lou controlling [=DeMarcus=], such as [[spoiler:calling the police on his idol.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tanner Basset]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Jay Lee
Kevin's best friend who suspects him of being the Turd Burglar.
----
* DisproportionateRetribution: When Tanner reports Kevin to the police as the Turd Burglar, it's eventually implied that he did it because he resented Kevin for calling the police onto Skip Day. [[spoiler: it was Lou]] Further investigation shows [[spoiler: him and Chloe making out in the background... with the implication that he really held a grudge against Kevin for the cops interrupting ''that'']].
* NiceGuy: Comes off as this.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler:He is right about Kevin doing The Brownout, but not for his suspicion that Kevin did it as an act of revenge for years of bullying.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: Chloe's not-so subtle feelings for Kevin during her interviews make it seem like Tanner was this for her.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Although quite why it broke up seems to be uncertain.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He's Kevin's (mostly ex) friend, but he still reported him to the police.[[/folder]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Taylor Dearden
A close friend of Kevin and Tanner who thinks Kevin is innocent and suspects [=DeMarcus=].

* NiceGirl: No subversion, no dark secret, Chloe really is just a nice person who wants to help her friend Kevin.

[[folder:Jenna Hawthorne]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Kiah Stern
A popular girl at school who was the envy of most students due to her seemingly perfect life.
----
* BrokenAce: First after the Kendall Jenner incident humiliated her from her "pretty, nice, and very wealthy" position at school, but especially once [[spoiler:she gets catfished.]]
* FallenPrincess: A petty example to the school when it turns out she lied about being friends with Kendall Jenner, and a more serious example once [[spoiler:she turns out to be behind one of the Turd Burglar attacks]].
* LipstickLesbian: She's an attractive young woman who was said to have had a girlfriend.
* OldShame: She posted a picture jokingly stating that she was best friends with Kendall Jenner, but after it was revealed that she waited five hours in line just for an autograph and picture with Kendall, the other students turned on Jenna and labeled her a fraud. Even her girlfriend broke up with her as a result.
%% * RichBitch: Subverted. Jenna is a genuine NiceGirl, [[spoiler:but she still did one of the pranks.]]

[[folder:Drew Pankratz]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Jonathan Saks
A theater kid who has pictures of him in a diaper exposed to the school.
----
* CampStraight: He's a theater kid who has platonic friendships with all the theater girls. One guy lets Drew take his girlfriend to prom after getting grounded because he knows Drew wouldn't be a threat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Diaper Drew" as a result of the pictures of him leaking.
* TakeOurWordForIt: We never get to see exactly ''what'' is going on in the [[spoiler: diaper video leaked during The Dump]], but we do know that a) it was extremely graphic and humiliating, and b) it apparently involved some supposedly impossible feat of flexibility.
->'''Paul''': ''God'' did not design us to bend that way. ''Certainly'' not for that reason.

----
* EvilCounterpart: To [=DeMarcus=], who is a NiceGuy with a few flaws and weaknesses, but not malicious, vs. the previous St. Bernie's sports star, who was an unrepentant sexist bully.
* TheGhost: His exploits are much mentioned but he's never seen.
* JerkJock: He was beloved by everyone, and he abused his popularity to get away with pranks and bullying.
* KarmaHoudini: Offscreen. When he was a senior at St. Bernie's, he stole the school's mascot costume, and when a girl complained about it, he used it to mock her over the internet for months. Nobody looked into it, and he ended up graduating and going to UCLA.

[[folder:Paul Schnorrenberg]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Miles J. Harvey
An overly religious student who unknowingly broke open a pinata containing feces in front of his English class.
----
* HolierThanThou: Comes with being a High School kid obsessed with Catholicism. He gets in long, loud arguments with the English teacher over Kurt Vonnegut and his portrayal of sex in his works.
* TheFriendNoOneLikes: Seems to be this to most of St. Bernie's.
* TheFundamentalist: He is heavily religious to the point where he argues with his English teacher's literary choices due to his belief that they go against God's word. Even ''the nuns'' think he could turn it down a notch.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Jeremy Culhane

----
* BeneathSuspicion: Only brief seen [[spoiler:working at the phone repair store.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:For Season Two, as he is the mastermind behind the Turd Burglar pranks.]]
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: Just a guy that got kicked out of high school for a few mildly offensive tweets. He works at a phone repair kiosk, where he is perfectly willing to talk to Peter and Sam. He is mentioned sparingly and appears on camera ''once'', [[spoiler: until it's revealed ''he is the Turd Burglar'', that is]].
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:He catfished a number of people, mostly students but at least one teacher as well, pretending to be a pretty girl who tricked these people into sending graphic photos and videos that he would later use to blackmail them into committing the poop crimes. What's worse is he still shares the photos and videos when he knows he's about to be exposed.]]
* NonActionGuy: He doesn't actually [[spoiler:commit any of the Turd Burglar acts himself]], he just [[spoiler:blackmails people who bring their phones to the repair kiosk.]]
