* BigBrotherBully: He does have his moments where he's mean to Wren but it's not as bad as when Zoe's mean to him.

* On Darryl's side: Grandpa Mac is a [[TheQuietOne calm but silent type,]] Grandpa Pauline is a neat freak.

* BigBrotherBully: He does have his moments where he's a little mean to Wren but it's not as bad as when Zoe's mean to him.

Somwhat of a cross between Martha Stewart and Barbie, she and her rarely-mentioned husband, Butch, are the overly-perfect young couple down the street. Their children include one of Zoe's playmates, named Bogart, and infant twins, both named Wendell.

* DaddysGirl: She's got Darryl wrapped around her little finger, and is more than willing to take advantage of it.

Yolanda, Mike, and their daughters Keesha and Dziko (commonly called "Dizzy") provide a BlackBestFriend for each of the [=MacPhersons,=] except Hammie. They don't have big personality traits or provide any role bigger than being the [=MacPhersons=]' neighbors and friends.

* MeaningfulName: Invoked by Bunny: she named her son Bogart because he was conceived while she and her husband were watching ''TheAfricanQueen''. She nixed that idea for the twins: they were watching ''DumbAndDumber''.

* GagNose: Parodied in one SundayStrip where Darryl and Wanda discuss whether to let one of their children sleep on its stomach or back. Darryl says that he always slept on his back, then the strip cuts to a baby picture of him unable to lay down for his huge nose.

The eldest daughter of the family, still fairly young but acts like a teenager. Frequently bratty and self-absorbed, but less likely to actually make a mess these days than her brother, preferring whining and mocking to actual destruction.

Zoe's younger brother, the middle child and only male child of the family. A typical young boy, goes through the world like a hurricane leaving broken glass and dirty fingerprints in his wake. Is fond of gross noises and other assorted actions. Often takes pleasure in annoying Zoe, but they can work together on occasion.
