* DrunkWithPower: When he tours a local library, he quickly
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: He was subjected to comically specific punishments like being kept in a cage and being fed raisins.
* TheKlutz: He's suffered numerous injuries due to his clumsiness on the show, such as briefly being comatose after slipping on a skateboard, nearly slicing his finger off while pumpkin carving, burning his face when his tie gets caught in a car's engine, and getting a bloody gash on his head after tripping onstage.
* {{Manchild}}: Steve is one ''par excellence''. He is extremely immature and has no idea of how a normal person should behave in... well, frankly any social situation.
* MisspellingOutLoud: In a spelling bee against a bunch of children, his word is "ham." He spells it H... A... S-S-S-S-P-P-P-P.

!!Doris Pringle-Brule-Salahari
!!!Actress: Nancy Munoz

Dorris Brule (née Pringle), later Dorris Salahari, is Dr. Steven Brule's mother. Although old and frail, it's clear from her behavior and Steve's stories of his childhood that she was incredibly abusive to him as a child.

----
* AbusiveParents: Incredibly so. She regularly forced Steve to sleep in a cage in a basement full of cats with only raisins for food until he was at least 15 years old.
* ClosetPunishment: According to Steve, one of the things she'd most frequently yell at him was to get in the cage.
* ParentalNeglect: Unlike with Steve, she is completely inattentive to her second son with Mobin.
* FreudianExcuse: She claims that the desire to keep Steve from knowing his younger brother is because she had a dream where the baby looked just like Steve, so she killed it rather than bring another Steve into the world.
* TilMurderDoUsPart: She said she once considered murdering her husband [[WouldHurtAChild and Steve]], then [[HumanHeadOnTheWall stuffing and mounting their heads]] so they could never leave her.
* TrashOfTheTitans: Her first home is filled nearly to the ceiling with piles of trash, heavily suggesting she's a compulsive hoarder.
