History Characters / CommunityOtherCharacters

* NiceGuy: An interesting example; everything we had heard about him before he showed up suggested he was a selfish {{Jerkass}}. When he eventually did show up, he proved to be a sincerely decent and likeable man.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Ridiculously prejudiced against everyone who doesn't fit his definition of white. He even chastises Britta for her Swedish heritage and there history with Finns, leading to the group calling him "the Abed of racism."

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain:

* AmbiguouslyGay[=/=]BiTheWay: He stated that he was bi-curious and that [[ArmoredClosetGay he's trying to surpress it]].

* FiveManBand:
** BigBad: Evil Jeff, taking over after Evil Abed's HeelFaceTurn
** TheDragon: Evil Annie
** TheEvilGenius: Evil Troy, but only by the virtue of being the geekiest.
** TheBrute: Evil Shirley
** TheDarkChick: Evil Britta.
** SixthRanger: Evil Pierce
** GreaterScopeVillain: Emperor Chang.

* StupidEvil[=/=]TooDumbToLive: Evil Pierce and Evil Britta send themselves back to their own timeline before they can encounter their good counterparts, and Evil Troy admits--'''''to Good Troy's face'''''--that he's out of ammunition. Though one could also argue that [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Evil Britta and Evil Troy still have latent good qualities...]]

** TheDragon: Evil Britta

** TheDarkChick: Evil Annie

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Evil Annie goes from being someone who feels guilty about (Pierce's) apparent death, to being as bad as her boyfriend and wanting to destroy her counterpart.

-> '''Played by:''' Danny Pudi

* AlliterativeName: '''Wi'''lliam '''Wi'''nger

* EvilCounterpart: To Jeff.

* MeaningfulName: Well, surname. His is a '''law'''yer and an important factor in his character is being an illegitimate '''son'''.

* ChekhovsGunman: Has been mentioned by troy and Abed a number of times before finally making an appearance.

* EvilTwin: Evil versions of the study group members.

[[folder:Greendale Human Being]]

Greendale's freaky-as-all-hell mascot.

* TheBlank: A Sharpie scribble for a face, but that's it.
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: The reason it exists: the Dean wanted a mascot that could not possibly offend ''anyone''; their previous name was the Greendale Grizzlies. Pierce helped Dean Pelton on the project, and look how it turned out.
* SamusIsAGirl: Revealed in online video ''Office Hours: Pamphlet Serious''.
* SlasherSmile: The smile drawn on the mask in black marker resembles this more than anything. Probably unintentional in-universe and very intentional on the showrunners' behalf.
* UncannyValley: Invoked. Designed to [[AmbiguouslyBrown bear no resemblance to any race]], he/she/it falls deep in the valley. Several characters, upon encountering it, are either outright terrified or at least visibly discomforted.
%%* WhiteMaskOfDoom

[[folder:Officer Cackowski]]
-> '''Played by:''' Craig Cackowski

A local police officer who crosses paths with the Study Group on numerous occasions.
----
* ActorAllusion: Officer Cackowski being a fan of ''JustForFun/InspectorSpacetime'' may be a reference his character in ''Podcast/TheThrillingAdventureHour'', Colonel Tick Tock.
* HiddenDepths: An ''JustForFun/InspectorSpacetime'' and ''Series/AntiquesRoadshow'' fan who's working on a cop opera. He's also apparently good friends with Professor Garrity, the drama professor.
* FieldPromotion: In his first appearance, he's a mere Greendale security guard. Soon after (and in all subsequent appearances), he's a local police officer [[note]] It may just be a bit of TruthInTelevision-- there are a lot of places where officers will work as security for some extra income. Nothing to say Cackowski was doing that. He could also have been working there until he finished training[[/note]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Joshua]]
-> '''Played by:''' Matt Walsh

->''"No double-bounces."''

The Greendale campus groundskeeper, who is maintaining a secret trampoline.

* AffablyEvil[=/=]BewareTheNiceOnes: Though soft-spoken and fairly polite, he is a racist who believes that non-whites ruins everything.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Turns out that despite his nice demeanor, he is a neo-Nazi. Upon finding out, Troy and Jeff realizes that they should probably have picked up on the hints a bit earlier, like how he made several thinly-veiled references to harboring white-supremacy views and [[FailedASpotCheck the fact he had a swastika tattooed on his chest]].
* BlatantLies: About his swastika tattoo:
-->'''Joshua:''' It's going to be a maze.
* PureIsNotGood: He wants to ensure a place of tranquillity is not disturbed, but it turns out to be for racist reasons.

[[folder: Alan]]

-> '''Played by:''' Jeremy Scott Johnson and Brady Novak

The representatives of the School Board who frequently meet with the Dean. They hold nothing but contempt and disinterest in the school, but are not incredibly competent or well-adjusted themselves.

Shirley's youngest son born during Season 3.

* PerpetualFrowner: He never smiles.

-> '''Jordan played by:''' Tyler Jackson Williams (first), Dusan Brown (second)

* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Due to his mother having sex with Chang during the Season 2 HaloweenEpisode, his paternity is unclear at first. It's eventually revealed it was indeed Andre.

A local police officer who crosses paths with the Study Group on numerous occasions. Played by Craig Cackowski.

%%* TheDanza

* FieldPromotion: In his first appearance, he's a mere Greendale security guard. Soon after (and in all subsequent appearances), he's a local police officer.
** Actually, it may just be a bit of TruthInTelevision--there are a lot of places where officers will work as security for some extra income. Nothing to say Cackowski was doing that. He could also have been working there until he finished training.

The Dean of City College, who shares an intense, vitriolic, and rather homoerotic rivalry with Dean Pelton. Played by Jordan Black.

%%* AlliterativeName

The Greendale campus groundskeeper, who is maintaining a secret trampoline. Played by Matt Walsh.

* ArchnemesisDad: To Pierce, even if Pierce acts like an ExtremeDoormat in front of his father.
* ArcVillain: For ''The Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne'' in "Digital Estate Planning" and arguably to Pierce his entire life. Gilbert Lawson, Cornelius' assistant, evidently had a pretty hard time of it as well [[spoiler:and that's before Lawson reveals that he was Cornelius' unacknowledged son]].
* CrazyPrepared: In the aforementioned ''Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne'', he had even recorded lines for when his character was dying.
* DodgyToupee: Which is made out of ''ivory'', since being the racist he is he refuses to wear a normal toupee, believing that the hair used to make them comes from Asians.
* HollywoodHeartAttack: Taught Pierce to fake them [[spoiler: and dies from a real one]].
* HonorBeforeReason: Recorded DyingBreath (as well as a LampshadeHanging of this very trope) for his video game counterpart's death scene and [[spoiler: stated in his will whoever killed him would receive his toupee.]]
** From his perspective, why he would rather lose money than allow his products to be sold to gays or Italians.
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Racist with an illegitimate black son.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Ridiculously prejudiced against everyone.
** Also spent thirty years developing a video game to force Pierce to play upon Cornelius' death, risking his entire inheritance in the process. [[DisproportionateRetribution Just because Pierce once suggested investing in video games]].
* LightIsNotGood[=/=]PureIsNotGood: Never wears any other color other than white. Wears an ivory toupee instead of a normal wig because he believes the hair comes from Asians.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Cornelius is pretty much the whole reason Pierce is as bad as he is.
* NiceHat: His toupé from real elephant ivory.
* PlayingGertrude: Larry Cedar is over eleven years younger than Chevy Chase.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain:
* [[RacistGrandma Racist Grandpa]]: Although unlike Pierce, who [[InnocentBigot just doesn't know better]], Cornelius is actively malicious in his racism. And he's even racist against everyone who isn't of pure Anglo-Saxon descent, hating Britta for being "Swedish" and Jeff for being "Welsh".
%%* SouthernGentleman

->''"I'll go ahead and consider '''that''' point missed."''

Shirley's husband, who ran off with a stripper before the series started. Played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner.

* ActorAllusion: Andre apparently gets his brightly-coloured sweaters from [[Series/TheCosbyShow his father]].
* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Played with; Shirley has very little that's nice to say about him or his cheating initially, but when he returns, he's revealed to be an otherwise decent man who acknowledges he made a mistake and was at fault and seems intent on making up for it. We've also gotten [[UnreliableNarrator most of our information about what went down from Shirley herself]], and it's suggested that she may have had some fault in the initial breakdown of their marriage as well.
* ItWillNeverCatchOn: Andre apparently thought this about the [=iPod=]. Since Andre owns a stereo store, this apparently proved unfortunate.
* NiceGuy: An interesting example; everything we had heard about him before he showed up suggested he was a selfish {{Jerkass}}. When he eventually did show up, he proved to be a sincerely decent and likeable man.
* OnlySaneMan: He is easily exasperated by the lunacy his wife and her friends get swept up in.
* StayInTheKitchen: He appears to have some slightly old-fashioned views about a woman's place in marriage in "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts", but ultimately proves more-or-less fine with Shirley becoming the breadwinner.

[[folder:William Winger]]

Jeff's DisappearedDad whom Jeff finally has contact with in the Season 4 episode "[[Recap/CommunityS4E05CooperativeEscapismInFamilialRelations Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations]]". Played by James Brolin.

%%* AlliterativeName

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Shares a number of striking similarities with his older son.

* RebuiltPedestal: [[spoiler:Subverted. Jeff and William establish a good rapport, but then the latter spoils it by saying that ParentalAbandonment has made Jeff into the self-reliant man he is today and was thus a good thing.]]
* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler:Jeff gives him a speech like this. Twice.]]
-->'''Jeff:''' [[spoiler:With all due respect, which is none, ''go to hell''.]]
* SoProudOfYou: He tells Jeff he's proud Jeff turned out so independent and so much of a SelfMadeMan, and attributes this to his abandonment of Jeff. Causing Jeff to finally snap at him.

* VanityLicensePlate: Has a 'WINGINIT' plate on his classic Mercedes.

* TheAlcoholic: Both of them seem to enjoy their booze a bit more than is healthy, but Richie in particular uses this as an excuse for [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter why he was a bit slow to realize Chang was insane]].
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Richie's the big one, Carl's the little one.
* BitingTheHandHumor: They're essentially a fairly unfavorable analogue to NBC: a pair of thickset morons who try to control a process they clearly have no understanding of or interest in besides profit.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Implied in "Repilot". Despite rehiring ''[[TyrantTakesTheHelm Chang]]'' as a math teacher, they got Pierce banned from Greendale after what had to have been one hell of a NoodleIncident.
* FatIdiot: Neither of them are exactly mental giants, but Richie, the more heavyset of the two, is generally a bit dimmer than Carl.

* {{Jerkass}}: They're kind of dicks.

* TheCorrupter: Appears to be that to 'Good Abed' when they're alone in the Dreamatorium.
* EnemyWithin: [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Might or might not]] be this to Abed. The show itself tends to go back and forth on whether it's the case.
* EvilIsPetty[=/=]PokeThePoodle: His efforts to make the regular timeline darker extend to such things as popping a child's balloon, hanging up a public payphone while someone is using it, and putting out his cigarette in someone's coffee.

* EvilPlan: To go to the 'Prime timeline' and take over its Abed's place. He appears to have somehow found a way to do the first part in "Contemporary Impressionists".

* '''{{Jerkass}}:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMFsKhLIe2Y Cruel, cruel cruel cruel.]]
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's left ambiguous whether Evil!Abed has actually somehow managed to cross between realities, or whether Abed's just having a breakdown. Although Abed seems to view it as being the latter.
* StartOfDarkness: In the end tag of "Remedial Chaos Theory," realizing they are in the 'darkest timeline', Abed along with Troy commits to being evil.
