* SoulSuckingRetailJob: Works as a salesman for plumbing equipment at the beginning of the film. Thankfully at the end, he gets a new job running a fencing school.

* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: The beginning and end of the film is tied together with him narrating about his parents. The beginning is where he talks about his parents (particularly his father) and their failing marriage. The end has him talking about how their marriage improved and his dad cut down on TV and got a new job.

Roy's more successful, but long-suffering wife. Helen is a senior product manager for a vitamin company who has been trying to get Roy away from the television, but to no avail. When she sees a new TV that Roy acquired, her patience reaches its breaking point and she decides to pack up and leave. However, when she decides to break the news to Roy in the backyard, she finds herself caught in the crossfire of the nearby satellite dish.

Roy's more successful, but long-suffering wife. Helen is a senior product manager for a vitamin company who has been trying to get Roy away from the television, but to no avail.

Plumbing equipment salesman by day, couch potato by night, Roy spends his time on the chair watching TV, much to the ire and frustration of his wife, Helen (and to a lesser extent, his children). When he is approached by Spike about signing up for a free trial for a new TV service, he happily signs the contract. Little did he know, he sold the devil his soul in the process.

* GagBoobs: Dons a pair (unwillingly) as part of his disguise to avoid the guillotine in Off With His Head!

* FiveManBand: Well, technically four, but the concept still applies:
** TheHero: Roy. Also doubles as TheBigGuy due to being the largest.
** TheLancer: Helen
** TheSmartGuy: Darryl
** ActionGirl: Diane

* PowerHair: Her primary outfit (pictured above) has her hair styled in a French twist, perfectly complementing her status as a high-level executive. However, by the time she escapes Hell Vision, it's inexplicably loosened into an unkempt ponytail.

* PrimAndProperBun: Her primary outfit (pictured above) in the film has her sporting this hairstyle, which makes sense, considering her occupation. However, by the time she escapes Hell Vision, it's inexplicably loosened into an unkempt ponytail.

** TheHero / TheBigGuy: Roy

** TheChick: Diane

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Downplayed. Aside from getting flattened by a door in the cartoon segment, and getting grabbed by her hair and bodyslammed by Mrs. Gorgon, Helen doesn't really find herself on the receiving end of much slapstick.

* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]] / AloofDarkHairedGirl: She has dark hair and many friends, but treats her brother harshly. It's downplayed but justified, as while she does come off as abrasive towards her younger brother, [[CassandraTruth it's only out of annoyance with his constant urgings about Hell Vision and their parents' whereabouts]], as she does soften up a bit once she discovers the truth for herself.
* [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: Downplayed. While she never antagonizes Darryl in the movie (aside from a teasing remark after he tells her he lost his bike to the dish), Diane overall has a rather unpleasant attitude towards her brother prior to discovering her parents on TV. The worst she does is call him names, but that's really about it.

* AnArmAndALeg: Loses an arm and leg to a pack of wolves.

* TheDogBitesBack: Gets his revenge on Spike for banishing him into field work.
* {{Fingore}}: Accidentally breaks off a finger in the Northern Overexposure segment while explaining the odds of surviving Hell Vision to Roy and Helen.

* HeelFaceTurn: Went from an executive in Hell Vision working for Spike to helping the Knables survive their 24 hours.

* PetTheDog: Solemnly apologizes to Helen as Roy's about to be executed in the French Revolution.

* NinetiesHair: Sports a notable flat-top.

** Is appalled by the deaths that happen to those trapped in Hell Vision, though it has more to do with the lack of subtext than the violent nature of them.

* TheIntern: Even wears a name tag that says "Trainee."
* KlingonPromotion: Takes over Spike's position after Spike gets killed.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Shares this with Crowley. He's shown to be disgusted by seeing people getting murdered in Hell Vision, and voices concern to Spike about Helen being still in there.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: At the beginning of the film, his son, Darryl hacks into TV signals to profit off of footage involving his sister making out with her boyfriend. After Darryl loses his signal, Roy (who was watching on a small TV in the bathroom while shaving) can briefly be seen nodding with an amused smile.

* KillEmAll: Their method of collecting souls, all 666 ways to do so.
