History Characters / ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaOtherCharacters

* GoodCounterpart: Basically Dennis if he weren't an abusive, narcissistic bully.

* PositiveFriendInfluence: With her encouragement, Mac gets into the best shape of his life, Dee has her looks complimented by the Gang, Charlie is able to maintain a relationship with the Waitress, and Frank doesn't spiral into as many self-destructive behaviors.

* PetTheDog: Tells [[ButtMonkey Dee]] she's perfect to be TheHoneyTrap because she's a beautiful woman, like it's a no-brainer.

* ToxicFriendInfluence: Just looking at him and imagining what the real Dennis is saying drags the Gang back down.

* CargoShip: With Frank.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. She's a terrible person, but also a fair leader who is incredibly supportive to the other members of the Gang.

* DistaffCounterpart: To Schmitty. She's someone who is accepted into the Gang as a replacement for one of their departed members but is ALighterShadeOfBlack who is ultimately put off by their idiotic behavior and toxic herd mentality.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's a terrible person, but also incredibly supportive to the other members of the Gang.

* RomanticFalseLead: For a single episode, it seemed like Charlie would move on from the Waitress and enter a long-term relationship with Ruby. Unfortunately, he was [[JerkassBall creully using her]] to make the Waitress jealous.

* LaserGuidedKarma: He participates in a "Creul Intentions" style game where he and his friends invite guests they see as beneath them to a party to make fun of them. Unlucky for him, he ends up choosing the Gang, which spirals into getting his dad's new business venture in trouble and him being blamed for it.

* {{Expy}}: Of Wilson the volleyball in ''Film/Castaway''; an inanimate object with a vaguely human face that the protagonist anthropomorphizes while stranded in the ocean. Frank even calls out, "I'm sorry, Rum Ham!"

* YourTomcatIsPregnant: In "A Woman's Right to Chop". [[Spoiler: Except he's not; he just impregnated a female dog who looks just like him.]]

* ExtremeOmnivore: He'll eat anything, including ciggarette buds.

[[folder:Poppins]]
!!Poppins the Dog

Mac's childhood dog, a semi-feral mongrel who's somehow still alive.

* ExtremeOmnivore: He'll eat anything, including ciggarette buds.
* ImprobableAge: He was Mac's '''childhood''' dog. As of "A Woman's Right to Chop", he's still alive, and in that episode Mac is '''40'''.
* MadeOfIron: Survives things no real dog could.
* MoralityPet: For Mac, who acts like a happy little boy when Poppins is around. True, Mac is too stupid to actually care for his dog properly; but his intentions are purer with Poppins than with anyone else.
* NotQuiteDead: Dennis and Frank think they've killed Poppins after the dog gets into the drugged juice they gave to Dee and attempt to hide the body from Mac by throwing it in the trash. It turns out to be a false alarm, however, as Mac discovers Poppins alive and well, chewing on a diaper at the bottom of the trash can.
* YourTomcatIsPregnant: In "A Woman's Right to Chop". [[Spoiler: Except he's not; he just impregnated a female dog who looks just like him.]]

A favorite dish of the Gang, invented by Frank; [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ham that's been soaked in rum]]. Included under "characters" because it is treated as something of a living thing by Frank.

* {{Expy}}: Of Wilson in ''Film/Castaway''; an inanimate object with a vaguely human face that the protagonist anthropomorphizes while stranded in the ocean.

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A monkey Frank hires to replace Dee]].

* SlippingAMickey: The Monkey drugs the Gang's beers with whiskey in order to rob them while they're passed out.

* MadeOfIron: Jumps out of an exploded police car unscathed.

!!''The Nightman Cometh'' Characters

[[folder:Little Boy/The Dayman]]
!!Little Boy[=/=]The Dayman
!!!'''Played By:''' Dennis Reynolds
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E13TheNightmanCometh The Nightman Cometh]]"

A little boy held in servitude by a cruel troll, who must rise to become a man via ThePowerOfLove.

* AndShowItToYou: How he disposes of the Nightman, ripping the beast's heart out and showing it to him.
* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: The Dayman appears at the end of the show to reveal that the story was all about how he used to be the Little Boy and became the Dayman.
* BraggingThemeTune: "Dayman."
* ComingOfAgeStory: The play chronicles his rise from a scared little boy to an all powerful hero.
* TheDogBitesBack: He was forced into slavery by Antonio the Troll and later fights back, killing his master and later his abuser, the Nightman.
* GoodCounterpart: As the Dayman, to the Nightman.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He defeats both of his adversaries in incredibly brutal ways.
* HerCodeNameWasMarySue: As the "Dayman" song reveals, he is essentially Charlie's AuthorAvatar.
* TheHero: He saves the Coffee Shop Princess and slays the villains.
* IncestuousCasting: In-Universe Siblings Dennis and Dee play the Little Boy and the Coffee Shop Princess, who are each other's romantic interests. Charlie attempted to stay away from this initially by casting Mac as the Little Boy, but Dennis' insistence in playing the part leads to some very awkward and unbelievable onscreen romance.
* KidHero: Subverted. Despite his appearance, name, mannerisms and the way other characters refer to him, he is meant to be a young man. Charlie's complete inability to convey this and the heavy pedophilic undertones that stem from it as a result become a running gag.
* LightIsGood: The Dayman is the "champion of the sun", and the ultimate hero of the play.
* ManChild: Charlie describes him as "a young man with the spirit of a boy", his costume consists of blue footie pajamas and his room resembles a child's.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: When he kills the Troll.
-->''"You know what it is, bitch."''
* TookALevelInBadass: Goes from a defenseless little boy to the invincible Dayman by the end of the play.

[[folder:Coffee Shop Princess]]
!!Coffee Shop Princess
!!!'''Played By:''' Dee Reynolds
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E13TheNightmanCometh The Nightman Cometh]]"

A princess in love with a little boy.

* IncestuousCasting: In-Universe siblings Dennis and Dee play the Little Boy and the Coffee Shop Princess, who are each other's romantic interests. Charlie attempted to stay away from this initially by casting Mac as the Little Boy, but Dennis' insistence in playing the part leads to some very awkward and unbelievable onscreen romance.
* MistakenForPedophile: She's deeply in love with the little boy, who is meant to be a young man but is only ever referred to in ways that make him sound like an extremely young child. Defied by Dee, who's worried about people perceiving her as a pedophile because of her character.
* PinkMeansFeminine[=/=]PrincessesPreferPink: She wears a pink dress.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: {{Invoked}}. Considering the Waitress works at a coffee shop, she's probably loosely based on her.

[[folder:The Nightman]]
!!The Nightman
!!!'''Played By:''' Mac

A grim reaper type figure who seeks the little boy's soul/hole.

* AnimalEyes: Cat eyes, specifically.
* AntagonistTitle: Of ''The Nightman Cometh''.
* BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the play.
* CatsAreMean: Mac wears cat eye contacts to make him appear both tougher and scarier. It ends up making him look even goofier than he already did.
* DarkIsEvil: He dresses in all black and is named "Nightman".
* InformedAbility: For the embodiment of all evil, it's Antonio who does all of the actual work. The extent of the Nightman's role is paying Antonio and (unsuccessfully) fighting the Dayman.
* LargeHam: Mac plays him this way. It actually leads him to become an audience favorite, but not for the reasons Mac intended (he wanted to come off as a scary badass, not a goofy LargeHam).
* MistakenForPedophile: He's supposed to be something of a grim reaper type figure after the Little Boy's soul, but Charlie's writing, Frank's continuous pronunciation of "soul" sounding like "hole" and Mac's attraction to Dennis all make him come off as a rapist.
* SssssnakeTalk: He speaks with a lot of hisses.
* TitleCharacter: Of "The Nightman Cometh," of course.
* VillainSong: "It's Nature, Shit Happens", which was unfortunately cut from the final version of the episode.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: In-universe. There's a strong possibility that the Nightman is based off of Charlie's [[CreepyUncle Uncle Jack]]...

[[folder:Antonio the Troll]]
!!Antonio the Troll
!!!'''Played By:''' Frank Reynolds

A grotesque troll who keeps the little boy in servitude.

* FatBastard: He's played by Frank Reynolds who is fairly overweight himself.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Antonio is the one who the Nightman pays for the Boy's soul/hole, and keeps the Boy in servitude. The play makes it clear that he is a secondary party who doesn't work for the Nightman.
* {{Greed}}: If you want to get into that Boy's soul/hole, there's a toll to pay. A toll enacted by a troll, a troll toll, if you will.
* TheHeavy: While the Nightman is the main antagonist, Antonio is the one who does all of the major villainy that we get to see.
* KarmicDeath: He's killed by his own slave.
* LargeHam: Due to being played by Frank.
* VillainSong: "Troll Toll."
* WriteWhatYouKnow: InUniverse, his role as someone who allows the Nightman to take the Little Boy's soul, and then his attempts to keep the Little Boy trapped and controlled, suggests he might be loosely based on Charlie's mom.

!!''Lethal Weapon'' Characters

[[folder:Riggs]]
!!Martin Riggs
!!!'''Played By:''' Dennis Reynolds & Mac; Dee, Charlie, Pepper Jack (''The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 7'')
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS06E09ShapingAmericasYouth Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth]]"

A loose cannon cop with a come-and-go Australian accent.

* AmbiguouslyGay[=/=][[AmbiguouslyBi Bi]]: In ''Lethal Weapon 6'', there is some unintentional ShipTease between Riggs and Murtaugh [[AuthorAppeal because of Mac]]. So he decided to add a scene with them at a strip club to make them appear straight, but all it did was make [[ArmouredClosetGay them look insecure about their sexuality]]. He did marry Murtaugh's daughter, but it's likely she was [[TheBeard his beard]], as he seems disgusted throughout the whole thing when played by Mac.
* AwesomeAussie: Only when Dennis plays him.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: He sure does like looking at beautiful women, because he's not gay.
* TheHero: Though he steps down from the spotlight a bit in Lethal Weapon 6.
* MrExposition: When Mac plays him, he makes sure to go into extended detail about every single event occurring around him because, in Mac's words, "nobody ever knows what's happening in movies."
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Dennis gives him an Australian accent, while Mac doesn't even try.
* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]] A comedic example. Mac and Dennis switch parts abruptly in the middle of both movies.
* ShirtlessScene: When he (as Dennis) is being tortured by Lazarus' henchman (Charlie).

[[folder:Murtaugh]]
!!Roger Murtaugh
!!!'''Played By:''' Dennis Reynolds & Mac; Pepper Jack, "Don Cheadle" (''The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 7'')
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS06E09ShapingAmericasYouth Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth]]"

An older cop who's sometimes black and sometimes isn't.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Lethal Weapon 6 focuses on him a bit more than Riggs.
* AmbiguouslyGay/[[AmbiguouslyBi Bi]]: In ''Lethal Weapon 6'', to the point where the movie was confused for gay porn. He ''does'' have a daughter though, and ''did'' have a wife. So he's either bi or used his family as TheBeard.
* {{Blackface}}: Mac uses this trope when playing Murtaugh. Averted with Dennis, who finds it racist.
** [[HypocriticalHumor Although Dennis does overdo his black voice, sounding nothing like Danny Glover because of it.]]
* CatchPhrase: "I'm gettin' too old for this shit!"
* CoolOldGuy: He's supposed to be this, though Mac and Dennis are clearly the same age.
* TheLancer: Though he steps up to the spotlight more in Lethal Weapon 6.
* MrExposition: When Mac plays him, he gives an InfoDump so long they have to fast-forward through it.
* ObviousStuntDouble: In the shot where he throws the basketball in the climax, he's played by an actual black guy (despite non-blackfaced Dennis having switched to him by that point).
* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]] PlayedForLaughs. Mac and Dennis randomly switch between playing Murtaugh and Riggs.
* PreMortemOneLiner: When Lazarus is backed up against an electric transformer, Murtaugh tosses a cup of the tainted tap water on him.
--> "Hey Chief, ''have some water!"

[[folder:Lazarus]]
!!Chief Lazarus
!!!'''Played By:''' Frank Reynolds

A corrupt Native American chief.

* ActorAllusion: With his umbrella factory in [=LW6=]. It's easy to associate Creator/DannyDeVito with [[Film/BatmanReturns umbrellas]].
* AnimalMotifs: Chief Lazarus is given an exaggerated shark motif. His office overlooks a massive aquarium holding his pet sharks and is seen messily eating a shark steak and using shark metaphors/analogies in his first scene. In Lethal Weapon 5, he is killed when Murtaugh throws a glass of water at him while he's against the transformer which electrocutes him to death.
* BackupTwin: His new goon is the twin brother of his henchman from the previous movie.
* BadBoss: He uses his own goon as a human shield.
* BackFromTheDead: He is resurrected in Lethal Weapon 6 by a Native-American witch.
* BigBad: Of ''Lethal Weapon 5'' and ''6''.
* {{Brownface}}: Native American Chief Lazarus is played by caucasian Frank Reynolds.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Of his casino. He also owns an umbrella factory, likely a planned safe haven for after his apocalyptic rain dance.
* JabbaTableManners: As seen when he meets with Riggs and Murtaugh for the first time.
* LargeHam: Frank is really enjoying playing a villain. Lazarus shouts, snarls, froths and groans.
* MeaningfulName: Chief Lazarus comes back from the dead.
* NativeAmericanCasino: He's a Native American who owns a casino.
* ReallyGetsAround: As one of the actor's stipulations, Chief Lazurus gets lots of ass.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After being brought back from the dead, he sets out on a mission of revenge and to do a rain dance that will drown the city.
** Averted. Instead he transforms the witch into a young woman, and has sex with her.

[[folder:Police Chief]]
!!Police Chief
!!!'''Played By:''' Charlie Kelly

The police chief.

* BadBadActing: Charlie's acting in ''Lethal Weapon 5'' is so terrible that Dennis and Mac seriously consider cutting him out completely.
* DaChief: Of the Police Department.
* MrExposition: He tells the two detectives the basic plot of the movie.
-->''"Turns out another person just died from tainted tap water. Turns out someone taint--someone tapped the tainted water supply. (pointing at Murtaugh) The person who just died was your wife."''

* StraightGay: Part of why Dee thought he was into her, and not her brother.

[[folder:Terrell]]
!!Terrell

* NWordPriveleges: When talking about what he can do for the bar, he says "we're gonna have niggas in the rafters!" Unfortunately, Charlie repeats him and it comes across as racist.

[[folder:Roxy]]
!!Roxy
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/AlannaUbach
!!!'''Episode:''' "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS07E01FranksPrettyWoman Frank's Pretty Woman]]"

A prostitute Frank wants to marry.

* DiesWideOpen: Her eyes are still open as she suddenly collapses while Frank is proposing to her.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Enough to make Dee look tame by comparison.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Averted. Despite Frank's attempts to make an honest woman out of her, she truly is every bit as trashy and obscene as when she first appears.
* KilledOffForReal: Dies from a lifetime of drug abuse finally catching up with her.
* LadySwearsALot: Dennis is not wrong when he calls her "unspeakably crass."
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She flippantly calls a sales attendant "gayboy".
