* ColorblindCasting: Mariah Rose Faith doesn't look remotely like she could be the daughter of Corey Dorris, but live theatre has a much lower bar for what is and is not AcceptableBreaksFromReality; it's left to the audience's imagination what Bill and Alice actually look like, just like any other special effect in the series and the fact that Hatchetfield presumably ''isn't'' populated by multiple women who look exactly like Alice. There may be the in-universe possibility that Bill is infertile and Alice was born from a white sperm donor.
* [[{{Cuckold}} Cuckquean]]: "Watcher World" reveals that she is ''deeply'' insecure about Deb cheating on or abandoning her for someone cooler and more worldly. When this happens for real, she stops checking Instagram because she has to admit that Bill was right to dislike Deb.

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Bill ''doesn't'' like Deb. Not because she's a girl; he simply thinks Alice can do better. Like Grace Chastity.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Watcher's World" shows the viewer a timeline of Alice where we see her point of view, rather than Bill's DotingParent glasses or brainwashing courtesy of the Hive. She actually is aware that Deb is a poor choice of girlfriend but doesn't want to admit this to Bill because he's overprotective as it is. What's more, her rebelliousness is because she wanted Bill to fight for her, and doesn't understand that he fought for her every day, to make her happy.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: While Black Friday only had him appear via an unheard phone conversation with Linda, it indicated him to be a weak-willed doormat. He cries after mistaking Linda scolding Becky for him and is on a forced diet that he is apparently not happy with. When he appears in Nightmare Time, he's relatively confident, shows no sign of any weight problems and isn't bothered by Linda's attitude, but was attracted to her for it.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In Nightmare Time 2, it is revealed that he is less of the doormat he was previously assumed to be and is instead just incredibly in love with his wife. He's also revealed to be just as amoral and willing to do evil things as she is, and finds her wickedness incredibly enamoring, citing the time he saw her tamper with another girl's skiis in a skiing competition as the moment he knew she was the woman he wanted to be with.
* ExtremeDoormat: Subverted. Though Linda's NewhartPhoneCall conversation with him in Black Friday implies this, when he's seen in person in Honey Queen, he's actually pretty capable of snarking back when Linda or anyone else insults him.

* ColorblindCasting: Mariah Rose Faith doesn't look remotely like she could be the daughter of Corey Dorris, but live theatre has a much lower bar for what is and is not AcceptableBreaksFromReality; it's left to the audience's imagination what Bill and Alice actually look like, just like any other special effect in the series and the fact that Hatchetfield presumably ''isn't'' populated by [[LoadsAndLoadsOfRoles multiple women who look exactly like Alice]]. There may be the in-universe possibility that Bill is infertile and Alice was born from a white sperm donor.

Ted's much younger brother. Hopelessly nerdy and horny, he has low blood sugar and is noted for rocking a bow tie and suspenders.
----
* TheCameo: Robert Manion appears in his costume in the closing number of ''Black Friday'', while his previous appearance in ''The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals'' was an EarlyBirdCameo.
* CoolLoser: "Abstinence Camp" reveals him to be a much more well-adjusted person than his EarlyBirdCameo would indicate, and he bonds instantly with popular girl Stephanie rather than getting along with the other "nerdy prudes" attending the camp.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: It's been implied that he'll be the main character of ''Nerdy Prudes Must Die''.
* NoNameGiven: He's listed in the script for ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'' as "Obnoxious Teen", leaving him with no official name after that name was also given to his SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute who debuts in ''Theatre/BlackFriday'' - who was ''intended'' to be the same character, but after Robert Manion was cast as Ethan, Creator/JoeyRichter had to be become the ''new'' Obnoxious Teen so the two could interact (ironically, after Manion's departure all three characters are now played by Joey). His identity is confirmed in "Abstinence Camp" as Peter Spankoffski.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: He's about 20 years younger than his brother Ted.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The only reason she's into a "scumbag" like Sam (that and the [[GoodLookingPrivates uniform]]).
* AssholeVictim: Before she's assimilated, we see her suck up to her boss to get out of work, be rude to Emma, and is dating the married Sam, who she admits she only dates because he's a [[GoodLookingPrivates police officer]].
* BlackAndGrayMorality: The black to Linda's gray in "Honey Queen", allowing Linda, a loathsome villain in ''Black Friday'', to take the role of protagonist. While Linda swindles and blackmails her way to the top, she has affection for ''some'' of her family members and relatable insecurities; Zoey, meanwhile, is a self-aggrandizing sociopath who uses her family and friends as a means to an end. [[spoiler:When Linda {{blackmail}}s Zoey by threatening to reveal her promiscuous ways to her well-respected grandmother Mima, Zoey's response is to murder Mima for the inheritance money, having already betrayed her brother Zach out of his share.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: Zoey is one of the very first victims of the apotheosis, then returns at the end of the show to shoot down the escape helicopter, ruining Paul and Emma’s best chance at escaping the town.
* DramaQueen: In both senses of the term. Seems to think her amateur theatre career is more important than actually doing her job.
* DramaticUnmask: Obviously we can tell the helicopter pilot is Mariah Rose Faith, but Emma's shocked reaction when she pulls the goggles off her face lets us know that it actually is Zoey.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Zoey snottily turns down Emma's offer of a ride home during the storm because she's seen Emma's "crappy car" and doesn't want to "crash and die". [[spoiler: Zoey later unexpectedly shows up to give Emma a helicopter ride, in which they do crash and almost die.]] Her saying this may also be a cruel comment toward Emma that doubles as foreshadowing, as it's later revealed that [[spoiler: Emma's sister died in a car crash.]]
* HarbingerOfImpendingDoom: The reveal that the helicopter pilot isn't just played by Mariah Rose Faith but actually is Zoey [[OhCrap shows just how bad things have gotten]] and how far the HiveMind has gone to screw with our heroes.
* InstantExpert: Gains the ability to pilot a helicopter due to the HiveMind she has.
* PetTheDog: Apparently the several months that passed between the time frame of ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'' and "Forever & Always" improved Emma and Zoey's relationship enough that Emma invited Zoey to the wedding, and Zoey was thoughtful enough to get a present (though not a particularly extravagant one).
* StrawVegetarian: Among Zoey's other stereotypical "annoying college theatre major" traits is the fact that she's a vegan, and apparently cares enough about it that she thinks pressuring Emma and Paul into going vegan by getting them a vegan cookbook for their wedding is a thoughtful gift. [[spoiler: An early hint that Emma is acting OutOfCharacter for the Emma we previously knew is her going along with this and actually joining in in pressuring Paul to adopt a green lifestyle.]]
* UnseenCharacter: She was at Paul and Emma's wedding but, thanks to Mariah Rose Faith being unavailable for that day's livestream, she's never actually seen -- we just find out she gave Emma and Paul a cookbook as a gift, though "Forever & Always" (the song) was originally intended as a diegetic performance by Zoey and Professor Hidgens.

* ArcWords: Calls after Emma, [[spoiler:"The innocent must suffer. The guilty must be punished. You must taste blood to be a man." This reveals him to be a Hatchetman, as well as being the first sign in the series that the Hatchetmen are still active in the present day.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He is torn to pieces by nighthawks.]]
* HillbillyHorrors: Evokes this aesthetic, being an elderly redneck with multitudes of hillbilly descendants, who intimidates our protagonists with many ominous proclamations. [[spoiler:His version of the Hatchetmen's mission statement makes use of this as well; while the 1820s Hatchetmen were BurnTheWitch sorts typical of that time period, his disdain for "the Gift" of sorcery comes from the more modern lends of TheFundamentalist: namely, the SatanicPanic.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: He claims to have once been business partners with Emma's great-grandfather. It's ''possible'' he's lived that long through non-supernatural means, but unlikely. Living all his life in the Witchwood may be a factor.
* TooImportantToWalk: Various unseen family members lug him around on a sedan chair; not only does he not walk, he never seems to stand up either.

to:

* ArcWords: Calls after Emma, [[spoiler:"The innocent must suffer. The guilty must be punished. You must taste blood to be BaldOfEvil: To play Sherman, Jaime wears a man." This reveals bald cap sporting a particularly unsightly combover.
* BasementDweller: Apparently has no responsibilities that prevented
him from getting in line at Toy Zone a week before Thanksgiving, thanks to be a Hatchetman, as well as living with his mother who provides free room and board so he can focus on his life's passion of being creepy about children's toys.
* BerserkButton: When Lex spitefully tells him she tossed out
the first sign shipment of miscolored Franchise/MyLittlePony dolls she promised him, he loses all control and goes into a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
-->'''Sherman''': When they mess up the colors, it makes them ''more valuable!'' ''(slams Lex's head against the floor repeatedly)'' Those are ''collector's items!'' YOU KILLED THE PONIES, AND ''NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!''
* CargoShip: In-universe, he intends to preserve ''one'' of the Wiggly dolls in its original packaging for posterity, and the rest will be used for less... savory purposes.
-->'''Sherman''': ''One'' will be used exclusively for bathtime... ''I'' will tickle one doll, and one doll... will tickle me...
* CollectorOfTheStrange: It's not necessarily strange
in the series that bad way for an adult to collect children's toys... but taking it to the Hatchetmen are still active in the present day.]]
extent Sherman does certainly is.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He CreepyHighPitchedVoice: A discordant and screeching one, including during musical numbers.
* CrossCastRole: Jaime
is torn to pieces by nighthawks.]]
* HillbillyHorrors: Evokes this aesthetic, being an elderly redneck with multitudes of hillbilly descendants, who intimidates our protagonists with many ominous proclamations. [[spoiler:His version of the Hatchetmen's mission statement makes use of this as well; while the 1820s Hatchetmen were BurnTheWitch sorts
taking over Creator/LaurenLopez's typical role of playing an oddly effeminate male character.
* TheDragon: There are many obvious reasons he's unworthy to be TheChosenOne in Wiggly's ReligionOfEvil, but those same qualities make him useful to Linda as an absolutely shameless herald and enforcer. He seems positively giddy about being given the dirty work of executing Lex, to prove just how little he values human life compared to toys.
* DepravedBisexual: The fact
that time period, he thinks of Wiggly as "my little boyfriend" but is also obsessed with the characters from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' tells us that, at least, he's not picky about the ''gender'' of the children's cartoon characters he sexually fantasizes about.
* EccentricMillionaire: He -- or
his disdain parents -- ''must'' be this, if he's willing to drop $45,000 all at once just to buy out Frank's whole stock of Wiggly dolls.
* EntitledBastard: Thinks there's nothing wrong with him being able to buy out ''all'' the Wiggly dolls from everyone else in town just because he has the money and he had nothing better to do but start camping out in line a week early. Previously bought up all the new Franchise/MyLittlePony dolls before any actual kids could get them, and when Lex expects gratitude
for helping him do this, responds "You're in retail! It's your job to help me!" Thinks that Lex throwing out mispainted ponies [[SkewedPriorities constitutes murder]] and justifies executing her in return.
* HollywoodApocrypha: Linda is the one who actually holds the rank of Wiggly's "Prophet", but she seems happy to let Sherman be the one to come up with florid, Biblically-phrased interpretations of her message to preach to her followers, e.g. calling the Black Friday riots
"the Gift" Great Battle".
* ItsAllAboutMe: Has already decided that ''all''
of sorcery comes the Wiggly dolls in the store will be his and he won't be satisfied with anything less, regardless of how this affects the rest of the town ([[DidNotThinkThisThrough or how they'd react to him doing this]]).
* JarPotty: Happily tells everyone about this disgusting little detail of how he pulled off camping out in the Black Friday line a full week before anyone else arrived.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Colonel Schaeffer confirmed that, aside
from [[SoleSurvivor Emma]], no other human resident of Hatchetfield survived, so it’s highly likely Sherman was infected by the more modern lends HiveMind offscreen during ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'']].
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: There's a lot
of TheFundamentalist: namely, this going around during "What Do You Say?", but Sherman notably gets a ''lot'' wrong in his line "He was embedded in Afghanistan" about Tom -- Tom was in ''Iraq'', not Afghanistan, and "embedded" is a term for war journalists, not actual servicemen (who are "deployed").
* NiceToTheWaiter: Sherman ''used'' to at least be civil to Lex as a regular at Toy Zone, if only to facilitate getting what he wanted, which is why there's a brief HopeSpot when Lex seems like she's about to get through to him based on their history together.
* PeripheryDemographic: In-universe, Sherman is an incredibly harsh TakeThat against [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic bronies]] and other fandoms dominated by adults for products intended for children, and against
the SatanicPanic.]]
entitled, consumerist form of FanMyopia and FanDumb in general.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He claims to PerverseSexualLust: Sherman's sexuality revolves around fictional children's characters and inanimate representations thereof, and it seems unlikely he has ever had any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with a living human, nor does he have once been business partners with Emma's great-grandfather. It's ''possible'' any desire to.
* PetTheDog: Sherman is never really ''nice'' at any point in the show, but the fact that
he's lived that able to join in gossip about Becky and Tom's relationship with the other townspeople in "What Do You Say?" at least shows he has some interest in things outside his toy collection, and he has a little celebratory dance he does with Gary when Becky tells Tom, "I missed you".
* PrimalStance: Unlike the other shoppers, he ''already'' had terrible posture like some kind of feral animal ''before'' the riots begin.
* PsychopathicManchild: ''Holy shit yes'', and to an extreme degree even for Starkid. He apparently [[MommasBoy lives with his mother]], has no interests or social life outside of his toy collection, and is already willing to go to insane lengths to pursue his interests ''before'' Wiggly fever sets in.
* TheRenfield: By Act 2 he essentially becomes this trope to Linda Monroe -- the skulking, pathetic henchman to the commanding and attractive villain. Like the TropeNamer, he was already a vile specimen who'd rejected most human values
long through non-supernatural means, before the BigBad showed up, and was just waiting for an appropriately vile cause to sell himself to.
* SissyVillain: And not the flamboyant, confident kind
but unlikely. Living all his life in the Witchwood cringing, creepy kind. Of course it's natural he comes off as feminine, since he's played by a woman, but it's amazing how well someone who's normally as charismatic as Jaime makes him so thoroughly loathsome.
* UngratefulBastard: Lex used to be nice to Sherman and do him favors, probably out of pity for him more than anything else, and Sherman doesn't seem to see this as anything but what he's due from retail employees as a repeat customer.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While Wiggly's influence
may be have caused a factor.
* TooImportantToWalk: Various unseen family members lug him around on a sedan chair; not only does he not walk, he never seems
riot to stand up either.break no matter what, Sherman ordering ''all'' 850 Wiggly dolls for himself sure sped things up.
