[[caption-width-right:350:''"Cruel. Cruel, cruel, cruel."'']]
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/DannyPudi

->''"The lame go crazy but the smart, they go bad."''

An evil version of Abed from an AlternateTimeline, who [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane may or may not be]] a figment of Abed's imagination.

* BeardOfEvil: Makes himself a fake goatee made of felt in "Remedial Chaos Theory" and a has a real one starting in "[[Recap/CommunityS3E12ContemporaryImpressionists Contemporary Impressionists]]".
* BreakingSpeech: [[BreakTheCutie Gives one to Britta]].
* CatchPhrase: "Hot. Hothothot."
** Also: "Cruel. Cruelcruelcruel."
* 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.
** Subverted concerning his plans for [[AnArmAndALeg Jeff]], [[BreakTheCutie Britta]], [[DrivenToMadness Annie]], [[BodyHorror Troy]], [[TheAlcoholic Shirley]]. and [[KilledOffForReal Pierce]].
* EvilNerd: He's still as dorky as Abed, and his villainy seems to spring from taking his lack of social skills to its logical extreme of never wanting to compromise with anyone. He's also still obsessed with acting out pop cultural tropes, it's just that for him that means acting like a stereotypical villain.
* 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".
** Changes this plan to 'go to the Prime Timeline and make it as dark as the Darkest One' in "Introduction to Finality".
%%* EvilTwin
* EvilWearsBlack: Wears a black shirt as a mark of his villainy.
* GoodIsDumb: Refers to the Abed and Jeff from the primary timeline as "Lame Abed" and "Lame Jeff" respectively.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Engages in some after escaping the Dreamatorium.
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]
* ItsAllMyFault: Abed thinks if he had caught the die Jeff rolled to choose who would get the pizza, none of the terrible things that happened to the group in his timeline (Pierce is dead from a gunshot from Annie's gun, Annie went insane from guilt, Shirley becomes a drunk, Jeff loses his arm in the apartment fire, Troy had to get his larynx removed after trying to swallow a flaming troll doll, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Britta dyed a stripe of her hair blue]]) would have occurred (he's right).
* '''{{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.

[[folder:The Evil Study Group]]

* DeathFakedForYou: Evil Pierce didn't think that one through.

Britta actually ''defends'' her evil double ("Don't talk to her like that!), Shirley detests\pities her double ("Get help!"), Evil Troy isn't even that evil (he tells Troy he's out of bullets and admits he just wanted to look cool), and [[TokenEvilTeammate Pierce]] isn't much different from his "Evil" counterpart.
* EvilDoppelganger: Evil versions of the study group members.

* MsFanservice: Evil Annie is a very sexy woman.

* PaperTiger: Evil Troy, Evil Britta, Evil Pierce and Evil Shirley are introduced as if they were menacing enemies,but it turns out that they are dumber than their "Good" counterparts.

* {{Jerkass}}: "That guy is a DICK!"
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He and Jeff establish some ground rules when reuniting, with him saying he's not going to apologize for leaving Jeff, or pretend to be a decent human being. Then he kicks Willy Jr. like a puppy, making Jeff horrified, and is quite remorseless about emotionally abusing his sons.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Shares a number of striking similarities with his older son.
* MirrorCharacter: Shares some eerie similarities with Pierce's father, Cornelius Hawthorne ([[TheCloudCuckooLanderWasRight as Britta once pointed out]]). Both are abusive and disapproving of their sons, both have two sons by two different mothers [[spoiler:and both fake heart attacks]].
* 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.]]

-->'''Jeff:''' [[spoiler:With all due respect, which is none, ''go to hell''.]]

* AlliterativeName: '''Wi'''lliam '''Wi'''nger, Jr..

* AttentionWhore: Thanks to his father's ParentalNeglect.
* GreenEyedMonster: He becomes jealous upon seeing his father and Jeff hit it off.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Subverted; Jeff eyes him, thinking that his father wanted another son. Willy then reveals that he thinks Jeff is replacing ''him''.

* TheUnfavorite: His father doesn't like him and he knows it.

[[folder:Doreen Winger née Fitzgerald ]]
Jeff's mother, who raised him after William Winger left.

* DotingParent: She was this to Jeff, telling him he was the best at everything. This would later mess up Jeff when reality checks came in from Greendale.

* MaintainTheLie: Jeff doesn't want her to visit him because she still thinks he is a lawyer.
* NoAccountingForTaste: She fell for a conman and married him; he proceeded to leave her and her young son. This would later affect Jeff badly.

!!!Abed's family

[[folder:Gubi]]
!!Gubi Nadir
!!!'''Played By:''' Iqbal Theda

Abed's conservative father.

* CelebrityParadox: The show makes frequent [[TakeThat jabs]] at ''Series/{{Glee}}''. Iqbal Theba was a prominent recurring cast member of that show, playing its school principal.
* TheComicallySerious: His straight-laced attitude is often PlayedForLaughs.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Due to wanting his son to takeover the FamilyBusiness one day. But once he realized that film making is one of the few ways where Abed can express how he truly feels, he lets his son take the course.
* ManlyTears: He's moved to tears after he saw Abed's "{{Biopic}}", seeing how his son thinks he blames him for his wife leaving.
* ParentsAsPeople: He's rough around the edges and wants Abed to follow in his footsteps. With that said, he is deeply saddened when he realizes that Abed thinks he blames him for him and Abed's mother's marriage falling apart, and makes clear that it isn't the case, and decides to let his son take film classes as it gives him a way to express himself, with the family falafel stand as a fallback.

[[folder:Abra]]
!!Abra
!!!'''Played By:''' Emily Ghamrawi

Abed's cousin from Gaza.

* NotSoStoic: First appears as a conservative just like her uncle, but when Shirley's sons helped her sneak out she's seen enjoying herself.

!!!Shirley's family
[[folder:Andre]]
!!Andre Bennett
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/MalcolmJamalWarner

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

Shirley's husband, who ran off with a stripper before the series started.

* ActorAllusion: Andre apparently gets his brightly-coloured sweaters from [[Series/TheCosbyShow his father]].
* TheAtoner: In season two, he works hard to earn Shirley's trust back after cheating on her. What's more, he promises to be a good father towards her new baby, whether or not it's his.
* BlackIsBiggerInBed: Implied in "[[Recap/CommunityS1E11ThePoliticsOfHumanSexuality The Politics of Human Sexuality]]", where, when Annie asks if the penis on the dummy is big, Shirley responds with "no" as Britta responds with "Yes".
* ItsAllMyFault: When he learns that Shirley had a one-night stand with Chang that neither of them remembers -- owing to the "roofies" which was actually a ZombieApocalypse-- he walks out not because he's mad at Shirley but because he's mad at himself. As he tells Jeff, if Andre had never left Shirley, she wouldn't have been put in a vulnerable position.
* 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 likable man while admitting he hurt Shirley and wants to make up for it. He and Shirley did eventually break up again, however, showing nice doesn't mean someone is a good romantic partner.
* OnlySaneMan: He is easily exasperated by the lunacy his wife and her friends get swept up in.
* PutOnABusToHell: He eventually [[spoiler:left Shirley again during the TimeSkip, this time because her sandwich shop failed after it was supposed to earn them money. To make matters worse, he won custody of the kids, leaving Shirley with nothing. The study group is very horrified because for them and Shirley, it came out of left field]].
* 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.
* SympatheticAdulterer: Andre confirms that he ''did'' cheat on Shirley with a stripper. He also greatly regrets it, considering the affair a MomentOfWeakness.

[[folder:Jordan and Elijah]]
!!Jordan and Elijah Bennett
!!!'''Played By:''' Tyler Jackson Williams and Dusan Brown (Jordan); Kwesi Boakye and Dante Brown (Elijah)

Shirley's sons.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: They seem cool with Abed.
* PutOnABus: They completely vanish when [[spoiler:Shirley and Andre divorce again, and he wins full custody]].
* ThoseTwoGuys: The brothers are rarely seen without the other.

[[folder: Ben Bennett]]

Shirley's youngest son born near the end of Season 2.

* AlliterativeName: '''Ben''' '''Ben'''net. Doubles as RepetitiveName.
* ChocolateBaby: An inverted variant. His mother had a one-night stand with Chang around the time he was conceived, but he's revealed to be Andre's kid all along.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Due to his mother having sex with Chang during the Season 2 HalloweenEpisode, his paternity is unclear at first. It's eventually revealed it was indeed Andre.
* RepetitiveName: His name is Ben Bennett.

[[folder:Cornelius]]
!!Cornelius Hawthorne
!!!'''Played By:''' Larry Cedar

->''"We have to talk, boy."''

Pierce's abusive and racist father.

* AbusiveParents: To Pierce and [[spoiler:Gilbert Lawson]].
* 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.
* HateSink: All we see in Pierce's father is a horribly bigoted and emotionally abusive man without a single PetTheDog moment to his name. [[spoiler: Not a single person seems to be remorseful when Jeff accidentally gives him a heart attack.]]
* 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. In a later episode when Troy and Abed are "dewhimsifying" themselves, Troy is seen unexplainedly wearing the toupee, but this wouldn't be the only time Troy or Abed "borrow" something of Jeff's.]]
** 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: Ridiculously prejudiced against everyone who doesn't fit his definition of white. He even chastises Britta for her Swedish heritage and their history with Sami, leading to the group calling him "the Abed of racism."
* [[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

[[folder:Gilbert]]
!!Gilbert Lawson
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/GiancarloEsposito

Pierce's half brother, first introduced in "Digital Estate Planning".

* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted; after his HeelFaceTurn, he starts becoming TheCaretaker for his older brother Pierce. Pierce tries to deny he needs help but decides to let Gilbert stay on realizing they're both grieving Cornelius, on the pretext that he wants a roommate.
* CelebrityParadox: ''Series/BreakingBad'' was blatantly mentioned in Season 3. Creator/GiancarloEsposito was a main cast member of both the show and the SequelSeries ''Series/BetterCallSaul''.
* CharacterTics: He frequently [[AdjustingYourGlasses adjust his glasses]]. It even carries over to his sprite version.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Inverted. He becomes friendly with Pierce and the group after they [[ILetYouWin let him win]] Cornelius' inheritance.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Even though he never gets Cornelius's approval, he gets Pierce who sincerely says he always wanted a brother. What's more, when Gilbert admits he's been feeling lost after his father died, Pierce invites him to stay in his house as a roommate because they're both grieving. [[spoiler:Pierce later dies on good terms with Gilbert at least]].
* FreudianExcuse: He's originally antagonistic because his father never acknowledged him and treated him like shit.
* HeelFaceTurn: Originally introduced as Pierce's [[CainAndAbel manipulative and antagonistic half-brother]], he becomes friendly to him and the other main cast after they let him win Cornelius' inheritance.
* InUniverseCatharsis: He becomes much nicer after Pierce saves him from Cornelius in the videogame. They both get a chance to beat down on their dad and call him out for his emotional abuse.
* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:The last known Hawthorne descendant following Pierce's death in Season 5.]]
* MeaningfulName: Well, surname. He is a '''law'''yer and an important factor in his character is being an illegitimate '''son'''.
* PunnyName: A lawyer with the surname Lawson.
* SharpDressedMan: As he is a lawyer, he's dressed only in suits in his appearances.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Literally, in the season 4 Halloween episode as he spends most of it in the dark. He reveals that he came by Pierce's house to give him the deed -- Gilbert inherited it technically but he felt that he owed the house to Pierce at least-- and realized there was mail to sort and bills to pay. Six weeks later, he found himself unable to leave because taking care of Pierce gave him a sense of belonging, even if it was without his older brother knowing. Pierce bluntly says Gilbert doesn't have to hide and invites him to stay as a roommate. Gilbert nearly cries when they hug.

[[folder:Amber]]
!!Amber
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/KatharineMcPhee

Pierce's ex-stepdaughter.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Appears to be a loving ex-stepdaughter to Pierce until it's revealed that she's just duping him for cash.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He is Annie's BigLittleBrother.
* TheStoic: He's hardly emotive.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Annie says her mother cut her off for the crime of going to rehab, and her father went along with it. Her relatives needle her about going to community college. Anthony is the only one Annie can stand.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's apparently in his late teens but he could easily be mistaken to be in his thirties at first glance.

!!!Britta's family
[[folder:Marcus]]
!!Marcus Perry
!!!'''Played By:''' Justin Marco

->''"Look dude, she started it! She's just as into me."''

Britta's nephew.

* CreepyChild: He's not at all disturbed sexting with his "aunt" (who was actually Jeff). When Jeff comes clean and introduces himself as Britta's boyfriend, Marcus agrees to keep his silence over Jeff sexting a minor if he's given Britta's bra.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Well, pre-teen, but the high sex drive is certainly there.
* IncestIsRelative: He doesn't mind sexting his aunt.

* 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...]]

[[Characters/CommunityTheStudyGroup The Study Group]] | [[Characters/CommunityOtherMainCharacters Other Main Characters]] | [[Characters/CommunityGreendaleStaffAndStudents Greendale Staff and Students]] | '''Other Characters'''-]]]]]

'''Troy:''' Uh, it's an animal that looks like a dude. Why don't I have ten of them?

* 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.]]

* ParentsAsPeople: He's rough around the edges and wants Abed to follow in his footsteps. With that said, he is deeply saddened when he realizes that Abed thinks he blames him for his wife leaving, and makes clear that it isn't the case, and decides to let his son take film classes as it gives him a way to express himself, with the family falafel stand as a fallback.

* NotSoDifferent: It is at times implied that City College is only marginally superior to Greendale, in part because Spreck obsesses over destroying Greendale instead of running his own school.

* NotSoDifferent: Shares some eerie similarities with Pierce's father, Cornelius Hawthorne ([[TheCloudCuckooLanderWasRight as Britta once pointed out]]). Both are abusive and disapproving of their sons, both have two sons by two different mothers [[spoiler:and both fake heart attacks]].

[[folder:Carl Bladt and Ritchie Countee (the School Board Guys)]]
-> '''Played by:''' Jeremy Scott Johnson and Brady Novak
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carl_and_richie_5.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: Left: Carl Right: Ritchie ]]
->''"This is Richie and Carl from the school board! That's right, we have names!"''

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.

* 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]].
* BigBadDuumvirate: Of Season Five, as they try to sell Greendale to Subway.
* 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.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: It takes them rather longer than it should to realize that Chang is an insane tyrannical 'would-be warlord' who is running the school into the ground.
* {{Jerkass}}: They're kind of dicks.
* StupidEvil: Not a brain cell between them.
* {{Telepathy}}: Richie has it. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really.]]

* 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. They end up reconciling when deciding to work on their relationship problems. 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.

* YourCheatingHeart: Andre confirms that he ''did'' cheat on Shirley with a stripper. He also greatly regrets it.

-> '''Played by:''' Malcolm-Jamal Warner

* AbusiveParents: To both his sons, albeit in different ways (ParentalAbandonment towards Jeff, ParentalNeglect towards William Jr.).

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Subverted. He spends much of his introduction trying to get on Jeff's nerves but the brothers turn out OK.

!!!Abed's family

[[folder:Gubi Nadir]]
-> '''Played by:''' Iqbal Theda

Abed's conservative father.

* CelebrityParadox: The show makes frequent [[TakeThat jabs]] at ''Series/{{Glee}}''. Iqbal Theba was a prominent recurring cast member of that show, playing its school principal.
* TheComicallySerious: His straight-laced attitude is often PlayedForLaughs.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Due to wanting his son to takeover the FamilyBusiness one day. But once he realized that film making is one of the few ways where Abed can express how he truly feels, he lets his son take the course.
* ManlyTears: He's moved to tears after he saw Abed's "{{Biopic}}", seeing how his son thinks he blames him for his wife leaving.
* ParentsAsPeople: He's rough around the edges and wants Abed to follow in his footsteps. With that said, he is deeply saddened when he realizes that Abed thinks he blames him for his wife leaving, and makes clear that it isn't the case, and decides to let his son take film classes as it gives him a way to express himself, with the family falafel stand as a fallback.

[[folder:Abra]]
-> '''Played by:''' Emily Ghamrawi

Abed's cousin from Gaza.

* NotSoStoic: First appears as a conservative just like her uncle, but when Shirley's sons helped her sneak out she's seen enjoying herself.

* 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.

* 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 likable man. He and Shirley did eventually break up again, however, showing nice doesn't mean someone is a good romantic partner.
