[[folder:Banana Bob and Banana Barbara]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_bananas.png
-->Voiced by Mic Graves (Bob), Sandra Searles Dickinson (Barbara)

Banana Joe's parents, two other [[AnthropomorphicFood bananas.]]
----
[[hardline]]
* AlliterativeName: Both of them.
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Barbara wears a polka-dot ribbon. Bizarrely, Bob's mustache was shown in "The Shell" to actually be a detachable accessory.
* TheChewToy: Barbara is subject to a large amount of prat-falls in "The Mothers", many of them caused by [[TheKlutz her extreme clumsiness.]]
* HiddenDepths: Banana Bob used to be a musician. And a bank robber.
* LookalikeLovers: They're basically identical save their TertiarySexualCharacteristics, as seen in "The Shell" where it's revealed that Banana Bob's mustache is detachable and, without it, his voice is very high and girl-like.
* MadOracle: In "The Shell" it's implied that Banana Barbara paints portraits that predict the future. "The Oracle" shows that she's been doing it for years, though Banana Joe never noticed because all of them were of the Watterson family. And any time she's seen making one, she [[ThousandYardStare stares around blankly]].
* ObliviouslyEvil: Banana Bob mentions in "The Oracle" that people threw their hands up and gave him money any time he put on a [[BlatantBurglar balaclava]] (or "bananaclava" as he calls it) and walked into a bank, not understanding that those people thought he was robbing them.
* SpeciesSurname: Like their son, "Banana" is their family name even though it's their first.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Barbara has eyelashes, lipstick, and a bow while Bob has a mustache. In "The Shell," Banana Bob's mustache is detachable and the only thing keeping his voice masculine, which carries some odd implications.

[[folder:Billy and Felicity Parham]]
[[quoteright:223:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orange_woman.png]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/billeh.png
-->Voiced by Richard Overall (Billy), Sandra Searles Dickinson (Felicity)

A mother and child who are both [[CartoonCreature abstract blobs]] colored orange and blue, respectively.
----
[[hardline]]
* AbusiveParents[=/=]HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Billy does not have a very good mom.
** In "The Extras," she crashed her car (with her son in it) into a house and left him in there while she walked out and beaned herself on the head with a shovel.
** In "The Gripes," she threw her son in the trunk of the car and buckled up her groceries [[HypocriticalHumor as she accused Gumball's father of being a bad parent]].
** In "The Law," she leaves her son behind when she hijacks the ice cream truck and goes on a crime spree.
** In "The Butterfly," she shoved her own son out of the way when he was chasing after the $20 bill that the hairy hobo lost. [[LaserGuidedKarma Fortunately, she got what was coming to her when Mrs. Robinson shoved her out of the way to get the $20 bill]].
* AscendedExtra: They started as {{Recurring Extra}}s throughout season 2[[labelnote:before that]]A completely different-looking boy, who once spoke with the same voice as Billy, and his mother were seen several times in the first season[[/labelnote]], then they got a skit in "The Extras" and major roles in "The Law" and "The Egg".
* AxCrazy: Felicity, and ''how''.
* BlueOrangeContrast: Not only are they blue and orange, but the mother has blue lips.
* ChildProdigy: Billy is about as smart as Anais, and a bit more of an InsufferableGenius.
* {{Hipster}}: Billy seems rather disdainful of suburban living. He [[BirdsOfAFeather gets along with Anais very well]], celebrating how they'll do hipster things like tour Europe and get tattoos, [[spoiler:until she admits she likes Daisy the Donkey, which he thinks is a mindless show that exists solely to sell merchandise]].
* RichBitch: It's not clear exactly how rich they are, but they're both pretty stuck up. When it appears to them that Gumball and Darwin were being arrested, the mother assumes it's because they went to public school.
* SphereEyes
* StepfordSmiler: Beneath her cheery demeanor, Felicity is bitchy at best and mentally deranged at worst. In their skit in "The Extras" when she got tired of Billy's pestering, she crashed her car into their house and knocked herself out with a shovel so she didn't have to listen to him. In "The Law," the sight of Gumball not being stopped by the Doughnut Sheriff (who was fired) for ''jaywalking'' enrages her so much that she immediately figures law and order doesn't exist anymore, hijacks Larry's ice cream truck, leaving her son behind, and plows through Elmore until she reaches the police department and threatens to kill the Chief of Police with an ice cream cone. "The Egg" is pretty much an entire episode of her making catty remarks about The Wattersons while barely trying to keep her cheerfulness at bay.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Their last name comes from one of the show's writers, Joe Parham.
* UnexplainedAccent: Billy has a British accent[[note]]specifically ReceivedPronunciation, so it's probably not even one of the show's British voice actors NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent[[/note]], even though his mother and the rest of Elmore do not.
* UnnamedParent: Until "The Egg", Felicity's name was never stated.

[[folder:Patrick Fitzgerald]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-pennysfather_2561.png
-->Voiced by Dan Russell

Penny's father, another [[AnimateInanimateObject living peanut]] [[MixAndMatchCritters with antlers]]. [[spoiler:Although beneath his shell he's presumably a spectral shapeshifter with antlers like his daughter.]]
----
[[hardline]]
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Normally wears only sandals with socks under them. When at work he also wears a hardhat and when jogging he replaces the sandals with tennis shoes and adds sweatbands.
* BlackBeadEyes: Like his daughter, his eyes look like this, but actually seem to be holes in his shell.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Gumball, Darwin, and Nicole run through his backyard in "The DVD", when he wouldn't get a speaking role until "The Date" later that season.
* FatIdiot: Subverted. Mr. Fitzgerald is scarily on the ball when it comes to parenting, and seems to be a very authoritative and strict person, despite his size - which, given what the Fitzgeralds are like under their shells, may not be indicative of his weight anyway.
* LargeAndInCharge: The biggest in the Fitzgerald household.
* OnlySaneMan: Has a justified grudge against the Wattersons, [[PapaWolf and Gumball in particular]], but is unusually quick to put it aside as events dictate. Was pretty much the only Elmore resident who was willing to work ''with'' the Wattersons in some way during the events of "The Finale" (by taking a fall in a "Dad Fight" between him and Richard, as things had clearly gotten well out of hand with the crowd and all).
* OverprotectiveDad: He refuses to let Penny see Gumball after his family makes a bad impression in "The Knights", and flat-out refuses to even let her say anything about it. "The Shell" implies a lot of this is because their whole family are secretive about what they're like under their shells, but this ends up backfiring and making Penny feel ashamed after she leaves her shell. Since "The Shell," however, Patrick hasn't been as overprotective or as antagonistic to Gumball: In "The Spoiler," he still feels the need to eavesdrop over Gumball and Penny's phone conversation, but he's notably less hostile towards Gumball than he was before and actually feels bad about revealing a major plot point in ''The Screamening''.
* PapaWolf: To Penny. The fact that she likes [[IdiotHero Gumball]] doesn't help. However, as of "The Shell" (when Gumball called him out on hurting Penny's feelings when she was freaking out over her new form, then consoled him and told him that "parenting is hard" and went through hell to get Penny back to her default form and back to her father), Patrick has loosened up a bit.
* UglyGuyHotWife: His wife isn't fat like he is, though he seems to be in much better shape than Richard.
* UnnamedParent: His given name (Patrick) wasn't stated until "The Shell". The same episode played with it by Gumball repeatedly calling him some variation of "Robert", when the audience would have no idea that he was wrong.

[[folder:The Chimera]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/partychimera.jpg

A large, strange creature made of many different parts (mostly Lego bricks, a Barbie doll leg, a plastic shark's head, and a leg from an action figure of The Thing from The Fantastic Four). He pretended to be an imaginary friend created by Anais, Darwin, and Gumball but was actually a creation of a lonely toymaker who outlived him.
-----
[[hardline]]
* {{Adorkable}}: His social skills are rather poor because he'd previously never talked with anyone but his creator. Gumball even tells Anais that [[LonelyTogether she finally found someone as socially awkward as her]], [[HellYesMoment to her delight]].
* BizarreTasteInFood: He eats hair.
* DetachmentCombat[=/=]PullingThemselvesTogether: Although he doesn't use them to fight, The Friend can remotely control his detachable pieces and reassemble himself at will. He shows this off by [[LosingYourHead taking his head off]] then comes together again after being blown to pieces.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He barely nudges a pinata and it's sent flying into the sky.
* {{Living Toy|}}: An old toymaker made him because he was lonely.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: After his creator died, he started wandering around at random and his appearance made people scared of him even though he's actually quite nice.
* MixAndMatchCritters: And a [[OurMonstersAreWeird rather bizarre one]] even by Elmore standards: his body is a collection of LEGO-like blocks, his left arm is robot-like and has a buzzsaw, the right arm is like a giant action figure's arm, his right leg is like a mannequin's, his left like [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Ben Grimm's]], and he has a shark's head with long hair.
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: He shows up right after Anais, Darwin, and Gumball try to make up an imaginary friend together, and pretends to be the friend they made up.
* NoNameGiven: He never uses any name, isn't ask for one, and might not have one.
* OddFriendship: He forms one with Anais.

-->Voiced by Sandra Searles Dickinson

Richard's mother, another [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation pink]] [[FunnyAnimal rabbit.]]
----
[[hardline]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Rather than being overly protective, in the first season she seemed extremely ''apathetic'', not wanting to do anything in "The Kiss" but watch TV all day and uncaringly telling Richard that magic wasn't real in a flashback in "The Wand". Compare with episodes like "The Authority" and "The Man," where it's established that she was an overprotective parent to Richard and lied to him about why his father wasn't around.
* DecemberDecemberRomance: With Louie (the MickeyMouse {{Expy}}); [[ParentWithNewParamour when Richard finds out]], he freaks.
* GrossUpCloseUp: We constantly get this of her putting on her lipstick in "The Kiss".
* FreudianExcuse: "The Man" implies that [[spoiler:Richard's father leaving him and his mother 42 years ago when he was very young]] is part of why she's so overprotective.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Like her granddaughter, but unlike her son, she wears shoes.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizen: In the first season she was noticeably shorter than Richard or Nicole. [[ArtEvolution Her second season design]] is barely taller than Anais.
-->'''Granny Jojo:''' (inside, talking about the kids outside) See, this is exactly the kind of thing I was worried about. \\
'''Nicole:''' How would you know? You're not even tall enough to look out the window!
* MyBelovedSmother: She thinks a mother has to protect her family from everything [[ScareEmStraight by making them scared of everything.]] Richard's such a FatIdiot because she had him sit around eating all day, never learning how to do anything himself.
* TheNicknamer: Calls Gumball "the blue one" Darwin "walking fish" and "fish kid".
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Both Nicole and Richard prefer to be as far away as possible whenever she visits. She has an extremely low opinion of Nicole as a mother that she vocalizes regularly, yet also leans on her for ridiculous demands, making her waste one of her only four days off to be her chauffeur.
* VagueAge: In "The Man" she states herself to be 63 years old, yet she already looked old when Richard was a kid, and he's now thought to be between 40 and 50 years of age.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: She's very blunt, [[HeyYou doesn't bother to remember her grandkids names]], and she made Anais carry a suitcase that's clearly too heavy for her.

[[folder:Mrs. Jötunheim]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hecsmom.png
-->Voiced by Sandra Searles Dickinson

Hector's mother, a grumpy witch who has to keep her son calm to keep him from destroying Elmore.
----
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: {{Inverted|Trope}}; she looks far too old to have a middle school-aged son. Possibly whatever species she is [[YoungerThanTheyLook looks like that regardless of age]], or giants like Hector grow more slowly than "regular" people.
* BlueCollarWarlock: She is a rather comical mixture of a traditional witch (she lives in a cave, uses a MagicCauldron, knows about magic spells, and flies on a broom) and an everyday person (she goes into town like everyone else, she works as a custodian, and she has a son in middle school).
* {{Expy}}: Her character design is heavily based on [[Film/SpiritedAway Yubaba]].
* InterspeciesRomance: Her husband is stated to be a giant even bigger than Hector, implying she's a member of some WitchSpecies, rather than a giant that shrank with old age. [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction And she's not even as big as a human.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Mrs. Jötunheim is fairly unpleasant to talk to, but is the main thing keeping Hector from destroying the town and helps Gumball from the Snatcher in "The Mirror" without asking for anything in return.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizen: Even Gumball towers over her.
* MyBelovedSmother: She's extremely controlling of everything Hector sees and does, even vetoing his online friend invitations and heavily censoring his comics. [[PlayingWithATrope However,]] this isn't to protect Hector, it's to keep him calm, protecting everyone else ''from'' him.
* WickedWitch: She turns out to really be a witch, as Gumball had guessed, and has a lot of the visual traits, including discolored warty skin, [[SinisterSchnoz a big nose]], and a {{witch broom}}, [[SubvertedTrope but isn't really evil.]]

* CartoonCreature: [[https://twitter.com/#!/benbocquelet/status/171333727501295616 He's suppose to be]] a [[RockMonster rock-man]], but his design makes this slightly hard to tell.
* ChewToy: He can hardly make an appearance where something terrible doesn't happen to him -- usually at the hands of the Watterson family.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Wears a shirt plus LongPants.
* FunnySchizophrenia: In "The Game", he takes a pizza being ordered to his own address from a PrankCall, then argues with ''himself'' over who pays for it, ultimately throwing the pizza in his own face.
-->'''Larry:''' I think all these jobs are messing with my head.
* HumiliationConga: Goes through one at the hands of Gumball and Darwin in "The Laziest", as they get him fired while causing his car to be destroyed and girlfriend to dump him. [[UnexplainedRecovery He's back to normal by his next appearance.]]
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Runs pretty much every shop in town and does a lot of other jobs as well that isn't already covered by other characters. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in the "The Finale" where it is explained that because of the Wattersons' constant antics, he has to take on more than one job in order to pay for all the damage they caused for him. In "The Pizza", it turns out he's the ''only'' one in town doing many of these things (including pest control worker[[note]]even though "The Shell" showed that a cockroach, ironically, is the town's pest control worker...unless he got fired for shooting Nicole with a tranquilizer dart while trying to subdue Penny during her shapeshifting freak-out and Larry took over[[/note]], police station accountant, and roadside repairman), and if he goes, the town's economy falls.
* ThatManIsDead: He used to be "Lazy Larry", the laziest person in Elmore, but after he lost that title to Richard he's been trying to get his life together and doesn't like being called "Lazy Larry" anymore.

[[folder:Richwood High Tennis Team]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_2.jpg
-->Voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison (Carlton), Fergus Craig (Troy), Steve Furst (Mr. Kreese)

A trio of [[StylisticSuck poorly-animated]] (looking similar to how humans are animated in most 1980s cartoons, like ''GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' or anything by {{Filmation}}) humans: two high-school tennis players named Carlton and Troy and their coach, Mr. Kreese. They're the only humans to appear on the show in person (not counting Santa Claus, who may be a sort of elf/fairy).
----
[[hardline]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Troy has a somewhat dark skin tone, but it might just be a tan.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In spite of their delusional behavior, Carlton and Troy are actually extremely skilled at playing tennis. The one time Gumball actually tried to return one of their serves, the spin alone was enough to tear the racket out of his hand.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Ironically it's after ''they'' win that Darwin and Gumball get their respect. They're impressed that Gumball managed to keep playing after a minor injury, despite neither one trying to win before or after it.
* TheDividual: Carlton and Troy are, for most purposes, the same person.
* {{Expy}}: Carlton/Troy and Mr. Kreese blatantly parody the arrogant but honorable student/ruthless coach dynamic of Johnny and John Kreese in ''Film/TheKarateKid''. Although unlike John Kreese, Mr. Kreese has a HeelFaceTurn.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: They wear extremely stereotypical [[OutdatedOutfit 1980s clothing]], including tennis shoes and high-socks with rainbow highlights, long wavy hair, rectangular shades, and brightly color sweaters worn as both clothing and accessories for the shoulder and waist at the same time.
* ManChild: Mr. Kreese engages in UnsportsmanlikeGloating with all the grace, eloquence, and enthusiasm of a five-year old.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Their designs look like they're from a 70s or 80s cartoon made by Creator/{{Filmation}} or Creator/{{Sunbow|Entertainment}}. Even with the show's extremely diverse art style they're all ''very'' out of place.
* OpposingSportsTeam: Relentlessly parodied: all three continuously insist that they're "more hardcore" than Darwin and Gumball, despite facing no disagreement, and [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave won't stop bothering them]] until the two accept their challenge to prove it.
* {{Retraux}}: Their 80s-ness extends not just to their clothes and character design, but also their ''animation'': their movement are all very choppy, they make flamboyant mannerisms reminiscent of ''Anime/SpeedRacer'', [[http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sweatershardcore.png closeups]] show them with non-uniform outlines and bleeding colors to make them look like they're cel-animated, and there are some [[StylisticSuck deliberate art errors]] like Carlton suddenly having freckles for just one scene.
* RichBastard: Carlton threatens to have his rich dad [[SavingTheOrphanage bulldoze Elmore Junior High to make a golf course]] if Gumball and Darwin don't have a tennis match with them.
* TokenHuman: They are the only human character seen in-person. However, Carlton, Troy, Mr. Kreese, and the background characters of Richwood High are animated rather than live-action like the humans shown on television, so they [[AmbiguouslyHuman might not be quite the same thing]].
* WrongGenreSavvy: All of them act like they're in a cheesy 80s sports movie when they're really in an episode of a cartoon parodying those movies. Unfortunately, their presence seems [[InfectiousInsanity to cause almost everyone else to act the same.]]

[[folder:Gaylord Robinson]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-gaylord_s2_4167.png
-->Voiced by Rupert Degas (Season 1), Stefan Ashton Frank (Season 2 onward)

The Watterson's cranky neighbor who appears to be [[CartoonCreature a sort of Muppet creature]] or a [[LivingToys muppet come to life]]. In spite of his attitude, Gumball and Darwin adore him.
----
[[hardline]]
* BigOlUnibrow
* CrankyNeighbor[=/=]GrumpyOldMan: Mr. Robinson's smug sense of superiority toward the Wattersons is one of his only sources of enjoyment, and he's constantly trying to find something wrong with them, going so far as to camp in his trash can all day to find out if they were using it without his permission. He even sometimes drives his car around town, trying to make as many people miserable as possible.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
* HappilyMarried: He and his wife Margaret are "happily" married because they argue, ''a lot''.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his uptight personality, he has a love of dance, and gives a big musical performance in his first episode.
* HopelessWithTech[=/=]TechnologicallyBlindElders: He doesn't know how to program his alarm clock (he says this himself ''as he sees someone else is doing it'') and mistakes a video camera for a musical instrument.
* LookalikeLovers: Broadly; he and his wife are both CGI muppets with the same nose and color scheme, but their hair and body shapes are entirely different. Strangely, their son has his father's body shape, but neither the color or nose his parents share.
* MarionetteMotion: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]], given [[Creator/JimHenson what]] [[TheMuppetShow he's based]] [[{{Muppet}} off of]].

[[folder:Margaret Robinson]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-margaret_s2_2499.png
-->Voiced by Teresa Gallagher

Mr. Robinson's wife, another [[CartoonCreature muppet creature]], who speaks only in mumbles.
----
[[hardline]]
* CrankyNeighbor: She doesn't go out of her way to antagonize the Watterson as much, but clearly hates them as well and enjoys cutting flowers from her garden just because she can.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
* HappilyMarried: See Mr. Robinson's entry above.
* HartmanHips: Her body shape is basically a tiny torso on top of large, egg-shaped hips.
* LookalikeLovers
* TheUnintelligible: She speaks only in unintelligible grunts and grumbles. Her husband [[IntelligibleUnintelligible can understand her]] at least, albeit with some difficulty.
* YourCheatingHeart: In "The Boss," while Mr. Robinson was in the hospital, suffering from a stuffing deficiency, she ran off to go on an island vacation and nearly married one of the sailors she met there.

[[folder:Sal Left Thumb]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slt_s2_8846.png
-->Voiced by Kerry Shale

A [[AnimateInanimateObject giant thumb print]] and resident career criminal. Though not seen often in the series, his face is shown on a lot of wanted posters posted on walls, fences, and in stores (with a cash reward of $25 if caught).
----
[[hardline]]
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Only wears a mask.
* AmericanAccents: Has a thick Bronx-accent.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: He's a criminal and a walking piece of forensic evidence.
* BlatantBurglar: He's always shown wearing a DominoMask, except a flashback that showed him as a kid.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He uses a ''[[FunnySpoon spoon]]'' to rob people. He never actually uses it for anything but threatening people; it's basically a [[ExaggeratedTrope very over-the-top]] form of FamilyFriendlyFirearms.
* SphereEyes
* VerbalTic: Says 'suckers' a lot, which is what eventually gets him in trouble at the end of "The Spoon".

[[folder:Senior Citizens]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/old_men.png
-->Voiced by Dan Russell (Marvin), Maria Teresa Creasey (Betty, Season 3), Gillian Hanna (Betty, Season 4 on), Shane Rimmer (Louie)

A group of old people usually seen sitting together on a lawn. They include [[FunnyAnimal a mouse]] named Louie, [[CartoonCreature a red jelly bean-looking blob]] named Marvin Finklehimer, a lady who appears to be [[AnimateInanimateObject a segment of a green chalkboard]] named Betty, and a man [[CartoonCreature that looks like a collection of plaid patterns]].
----
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: Marvin and Louie end up getting major roles in "The Watch" and "The Man", respectively.
* CoolOldGuy: Louie shows himself to be a very friendly and amiable person, despite Richard's refusal to let him date his mother. He can also dance (sort of).
* DecemberDecemberRomance: Louie is dating Granny Jojo.
* FeudingFamilies: Marvin hated the Wattersons because they'd been feuding with his family for generations over the possession of an old watch. They stop once both sides realize no one actually cares about the thing, but the feud briefly resumed once they find out it's worth a lot of money--then ends again when the watch is destroyed.
* RatedMForManly: Louie went against Richard in a "man off" and won every single event.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: When Louie is off his meds, he mistakes a trash can for a young man trying to compete with him in a dance contest.
* ViolentGlaswegian: The plaid man has a Scottish accent and agrees to let Gumball have his scooter if he can beat him in a fight, though [[SubvertedTrope he immediately gives up]] once he realizes he can't even get out of his chair.

[[folder:Sheriff]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/260px-doughnut_s1_6751.png
-->Voiced by Lewis [=MacLeod=] (Season 1), Dan Russell (Season 2 on)

The [[AnthropomorphicFood donut]] police officer most often seen around Elmore.
----
[[hardline]]
* BadassDriver: [[ExaggeratedTrope Taken to a ridiculous extent]] at the end of "The Law", where he drove a truck off the road using a ''stroller'' instead of one of the bikes conveniently located next to it.
* CarnivoreConfusion: His [[TrademarkFavoriteFood favorite food]] is doughnuts.
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* DonutMessWithACop: He's a cop ''and'' a living doughnut, as well as the page image.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: When he was trying to show that he could be "cool", he goes on a driving spree where snaking through mailboxes was the least crazy thing he did ("Darn, missed all of them!").
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep[=/=]NoNameGiven: He's never addressed by name and only even addressed by rank in "The Car".
* {{Expy}}: He has a lot in common with Chief Wiggum from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', though Doughnut Sheriff is slightly more competent than Chief Wiggum is. They're both even voiced with an Edward G. Robinson impression, and [[https://twitter.com/benbocquelet/status/618494419508043777 Wiggum is specifically cited as inspiration for the voice]].
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Like ''Spongebob Squarepants'', being a full dressed {{Cephalothorax}} results in him having [[DetachedSleeves sleeves for a shirt that isn't on his body.]]
* PoliceAreUseless: Zigzagged. There are times where he is competent and does his job, but for every time that happens, there are at least three or four times he does something reckless that, in the real world, would have gotten him thrown off the force years ago.

[[folder:Video Game Store Manager]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/225px-ripley2000manager_4409.png
-->Voiced by Dan Russell

The diminutive [[CartoonCreature plush toy-like]] manager of the Ripley 2000 video store.
----
[[hardline]]
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal[=/=]FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Either he's wearing some kind of coveralls (with teddy bear ears) or that's part of his body and the only article of clothing is his tie.
* TheBusCameBack: He was originally just a OneShotCharacter in "The Refund", then suddenly made a reappearance in "The Question" (on the part where Larry goes mad from the realization that his life is a grind) more than two seasons later.
* HonestJohnsDealership: He absolutely refuses to give refunds for anything under any circumstances, and sold a paper shredder claiming it was a game console.
* {{Jerkass}}[=/=]MeanBoss: He makes Laurence admit it was ''his'' fault that there was traffic which caused him to be late (and probably make him say it like he means it). Then he hangs up on him.
* KillerRabbit: Subverted; despite what Needlemeyer insists, he's physically capable of nothing more than slight annoyance. The person he was attacking just happened to be a complete wuss.
* MoneyFetish: He makes ''[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Mr. Krabs]]'' look generous.
* TheNapoleon: Short and incredibly aggressive.

Tobias's father and Jackie's HenpeckedHusband, another [[CartoonCreature many-colored stylized cloud]]
----
[[hardline]]
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Wears only a tie and the front of a collar--he doesn't even wear shoes like his son does.
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* DirtyCoward: When Harold and his wife think they're in danger, he claims he can handle it, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere but then just runs away, leaving her behind]].
* HenpeckedHusband: In "The Castle," he stays with the Wattersons because Jackie won't let him be himself at home. Taken to extremes in "The Pizza," when Harold is shown on a leash and barking when Jackie emerges from the wrecked van, symbolizing how Harold is treated like a dog[[note]]or, if you want to get vulgar, "is a bitch."[[/note]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He likes poking people for no reason, and even went to the Watterson house in "The Castle" so his wife wouldn't stop him.

* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: [[HumanoidFemaleAnimal Unlike her brother and dad]], she and her mom wear clothing on their bodies.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Rachel gave [[NiceGuy Darwin]] a smooch after he helped clean up the mess the party left before her parents came home.
