A group of Thugnificent's friends, including two fellow rappers. They live with Thugnificent at his mansion in Woodcrest, until the events of "Bitches to Rags" cause them to split up.

[[folder:Otis "Thugnificent" Jenkins]]
[[quoteright:197:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thugnificent394983_5435.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Carl Jones

A not-very-bright gangsta rapper who moves into Woodcrest. Riley is his biggest fan. In Season 3, [[RichesToRags he becomes broke]] while his music career ends, so he then has to take a job as a UPS driver.

* [[AFatherToHisMen A Bro To His Men]]
* AscendedExtra: Albeit slightly; having only appeared in 3 episodes in Season 2, he appeared in 5 episodes for Season 3.
* AutoTune: Uses it in his album "Mo' Bitches, Mo' Problems." [[Music/KanyeWest Which fails spectacularly]] since he uses it in ''all'' his songs.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "The Fried Chicken Flu". Even after getting kicked out of Granddad's house, Otis [[EasilyForgiven doesn't hold any grudges about this]], [[spoiler:as he still managed to come to the rescue by using his van to ram Betty's militia bus off the road when they were chasing the Freeman and [=DuBois=] families]].
* CatchPhrase: "No homo."
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is absent from Season 4.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Bitches to Rags".
* DrivesLikeCrazy
* EarlyBirdCameo: Kind of. That song "Booty Butt Cheeks" you hear throughout Season 1? He made that.
* {{Expy}}: Of Ludacris. If his actions aren't proof enough, there's also his hair. [[note]]It starts off as the same "Mickey Mouse" afro that Ludacris had at one point, and changes to the buzzcut Ludacris sports now.[[/note]]
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: His attempt to sell crack. Later he finds work as a UPS van driver and postman.
* FeigningIntelligence: He unsuccessfully attempts to seem smarter when he supports Barack Obama during the 2008 election. His lack of actual political awareness results in him getting humiliated by Bill Maher on national television.
* FireForgedFriends: Gets off to a rocky start with Granddad, but eventually they put aside their differences. This is especially apparent after [[spoiler:Otis gives up his "Thugnificent" persona]].
-->'''Thugnificent:''' Old man, I know I told you to go eat dicks in the past, but you alright with me.
* FunnyAfro: He has one until "Bitches to Rags".
* GeniusDitz: Maybe. It turns out that Thugnificent has a college degree, although he chose a career as a "professional buffoon" in hip hop music. Later when he's no longer a rapper and he goes bankrupt, he tries applying for a white-collar job, but he's rejected for unprofessional behavior.
* IMinoredInTropology: In the episode "The Story of Thugnificant," the title character congratulated Huey for his enjoyment of reading. Huey thought it wasn't a big deal, but what he didn't know was that Thugnificent has a bachelor's degree in communications, meaning he does understand the importance of education.
* ImportantHaircut: After he sells his home, he loses the "Mickey Mouse" afro.
* IncomingHam: The RunningGag of his arrival being heralded by a glass-shatteringly loud rendition of one of his own songs.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Riley, and later with Robert.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's an irresponsible idiot, but he's probably one of the nicest characters in the series.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gets his buddy fired from his job, due to NoSuchThingAsHR.
** And again when he visits a record producer for help with his failing career, and instantly got it just from simply asking. The thing though is that he brought Ed Wuncler III with him, since he thought it was a drug deal. When Ed realized he wasn't getting any money out of it... yeah.
* NWordPrivileges: Being a black rapper after all.
* [[RagsToRiches Rags to Bitches]]: He grew up in the [[WretchedHive shantytown of Terra Belle, Georgia]]. But then he became a millionaire rapper.[[note]]"[[{{Pun}} Rags to Bitches]]" is the name of one of his albums.[[/note]]
** [[RichesToRags Bitches to Rags]]: He's a good showman but due to trying to preserve his image, [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense he's not the smartest when it comes to money]]. It ultimately derails his music career, though he adapts pretty well to relative poverty again.[[note]]"[[{{Pun}} Bitches to Rags]]" is the name of the episode in which this happens.[[/note]]
* TheStoner: In "Mr. Medicinal", he recommends marijuana to Robert, and also introduces him to a weed dealer.

[[folder:Lethal Interjection Crew]]
A group of Thugnificent's friends, including two fellow rappers. They live with Thugnificent at his mansion in Woodcrest, until the events of "Bitches to Rags" cause them to split up.

* {{Satellite Character}}s: They're not given much focus besides hanging out with Thugnificent. Especially Macktastic, and Flonominal to some extent, though Leonard gets some more roles in Season 3.

!!Macktastic
-->'''Voiced by:''' Music/SnoopDogg

A friend of Thugnificent, and a fellow rapper of the Lethal Interjection Crew.
----
* SatelliteCharacter: Even more so than Flonominal or Leonard it seems.

!!Derrick "Flonominal" Cornish
-->'''Voiced by:''' Music/BustaRhymes

Another friend of Thugnificent, also a fellow rapper of the Lethal Interjection Crew.
----
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: After his own career in hip hop music comes to an end, he gets a white-collar office job. But he gets fired from that too, due to Thugnificent's mistakes.
* MyBelovedSmother: In "The Story of Thugnificent", Flonominal is extremely distressed when his mother calls to chastise him for his part in the "Eff Granddad" debacle.
* NoSuchThingAsHR: To build on Thugnificent's NiceJobBreakingItHero, there was logically nothing stopping Flo from contesting his termination due to the extremely flimsy guilty-by-association pretense.

!!Leonard
[[quoteright:197:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lenard213123_1891.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' [=DeRay=] Davis

Yet another friend of Thugnificent, and also counted as part of the Lethal Interjection Crew, although he's not a rapper.
----
* BigDamnHeroes: With Thugnificent in "The Fried Chicken Flu".
* ButtMonkey: Usually the odd-man-out and the butt of jokes, as far as members of the Lethal Interjection Crew go.
* TheDitz: He's a nice guy and all, but he's not particularly bright. This is how he explained [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unwittingly giving contaminated chicken wings]] to [[spoiler:Tom [=DuBois=]]]:
-->'''Leonard:''' "You know what, when I tried [a Buffalo wing], I thought to myself, 'This tastes like chicken,' [[LiteralMinded but the fact it's a buffalo]], I was like, naw, I don't want to say it out loud 'cause y'all gonna think I'm stupid. That's why I ain't get no chicken; I just got the buffalo."
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Working at Wendy's.
* AFriendInNeed: He's the only one left in the Lethal Interjection Crew who sticks around when Thugnificent's money dries up.
* LovableCoward: He ''will not'' die for his chain.
* NiceGuy: Leonard isn't too swift, but he is a rare character in this show who consistently puts the needs of others over his own.
* OddNameOut: The Lethal Interjection Crew consists of Thugnificent, Macktastic, Flonominal, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg ...and Leonard]].
* TheRuntAtTheEnd
* TokenGoodTeammate: When the Lethal Injection Crew were talking about what they were going to do if their careers fail, they all talk about becoming burglars and drug dealers. Only Leonard talked about getting a legit job, which he was immediately chewed out for.
* {{Workaholic}}: He works so much when Thugnificent goes broke in the third season that you hardly see him out of his [[BadJobWorseUniform Wendy's uniform]].
** When he figures out that the mortgage on the mansion is $12,000 a month and his boss won't give him extra hours to cover it, he reasons that he'll try to work his job, do telemarketing, and sell art out of the drive-through window at the same time.

[[quoteright:197:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stinkmeaner342343_1877.png]]

An old and blind black man with a sadistic sense of humor. He starts a legendary blood feud with Robert Freeman, which results in his accidental killing of Stinkmeaner during a street fight. Afterwards though, Stinkmeaner escapes from Hell and haunts Robert as a ghost. Later, Stinkmeaner's acquaintances and even his clone also come for revenge.

[[folder:Cindy [=McPhearson=]]]
[[quoteright:197:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cindy4534534_6765.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaraStrong

[[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy A little white girl obsessed with stereotypical black culture]]. In the comics, she tries to be friendly to Huey, but comes off as ignorant and annoying. In the show she becomes an exaggeration of herself, is more of a jerk, and befriends the like-minded Riley.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Similarly to Riley, her hair doesn't change color, but it does change styles from a single ponytail to a pair of giant braids. She keeps the HairAntennae, though.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the original comic, she was simply a white student obsessed with black culture and oblivious to Huey's blatant dislike of her. In the show, she's an over-exaggerated wigger.
* CheerfulChild: The comic version seems to be very cheery and enthusiastic about everything.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: In the comic strip only. She tries being nice to Huey, failing to realize that her wigger antics annoy him. She's also easily tricked by Riley, who takes advantage of her trusting nature.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Cindy only appeared in the comic strip for the first two years during the comic's lifespan. The other four years? She dropped off the face of the earth. She made her first appearance in seven years on the show, becoming a recurring character in the second and third seasons. She's absent from the fourth season though.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship / FireForgedFriends: With Riley in the cartoon. Even though Riley broke Cindy into tears with a YoMomma routine to beat her at basketball, they seem to have become friends in later episodes.
* TheDitz / DumbBlonde: Not very bright in the comic, especially when it comes to racial matters. An early RunningGag had Riley use her as a patsy or victim in his schemes, simply because she was so easy to fool.
** She is, however, {{street smart}} in the cartoon, able to organize and lead Girl Scouts like a gang leader. Amusingly, this changes the nature of her dynamic with Riley significantly.
* GenkiGirl / GirlyGirl: In the comics she is a lot more feminine, though in both cases she still likes hip hop music.
* GirlScoutsAreEvil: She runs her troop like a gang, selling Girl Scout cookies in an underhanded way. Later she helps Riley with his chocolate fundraiser in a similar manner. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything The whole scheme spoofs the illegal drug trade]].
* InnocentBigot / InnocentlyInsensitive: [[http://hueyfreemanonlyspeaksthetruth.tumblr.com/image/40052056313 Extremely]] [[http://hueyfreemanonlyspeaksthetruth.tumblr.com/image/41157229724 so]]. At least in the comics; this part of her character is phased out in the show. It's implied to be because the only things she knows about black people come from TV and her bigoted father.
* LittleMissBadass: Her first instinct when getting taunted by [[LondonGangster a man in a suspicious black limo]] is to chase him down with a baseball bat, for starters. She also [[GroinAttack knees a thug in the groin]].
* {{Pretty Fly for a White G|uy}}irl: Parodied.
* TokenWhite
* {{Tomboy}}: In the show. Here, she's a wannabe gangster who plays basketball. As mentioned above she is a Girl Scout, albeit still acting like a gangster.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the TV series episode "The Fundraiser", where she harasses any competitors in the cookie or chocolate fundraisers.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: As seen in "The Fundraiser".

[[folder:A Pimp Named Slickback]]
[[quoteright:197:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slickback324243_7169.png]]
->''"Let us pray the Pimp's Prayer. Lord, please pray for the soul of this bitch and guide my pimp hand and make it strong, Lord, so that she might learn a ho's place. Amen."''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Katt Williams

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A Pimp Named Slickback]]. He's a firm believer of a sexist outlook on life. He first appears as the boss of a prostitute named Cristal. He later offers Tom his own twisted advice about marriage problems.

* BerserkButton / HairTriggerTemper: He throws a hissy fit if anyone calls him "Slickback". He also reacts to his hookers' indiscretions by slapping them.
* CatchPhrase: "I'm ''A Pimp Named'' Slickback."
* CoolShades: Tinted purple to match his suit, even.
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Expy}}: He's based on Katt Williams' character "Money Mike" in the ''Film/{{Friday}}'' film series.
* FullNameBasis / InsistentTerminology: He hates it when people shorten his title to just "Slickback", insisting that one must say the whole name, including the "A Pimp Named" part.
* {{Jerkass}}: He IS a pimp after all.
* KarmaHoudini: He is rich and successful due to running an abusive prostitution ring. And he's still doing well.
* LeanAndMean
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Everything he does is motivated by money (and sex of course).
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "A Pimp Named Slickback" isn't a real name is far as we know.
* PimpDuds / PurpleIsPowerful: Wears a purple suit, like any cliched pimp would.
* SmokingIsCool: He smokes. He's cool.
* StrawMisogynist: But would you expect any better from a pimp?
* WouldHitAGirl: A Pimp Named Slickback regards this as normal and something every man should be doing as often as is necessary, putting him at odds with Robert and Tom who both WouldntHitAGirl.
** In his first appearance Slickback tries to smack Cristal, only to be stopped by [[BigDamnHeroes Robert]] pulling away his hand with his belt lasso.
** Slickback's reaction when Tom refuses to consider hitting Sarah:
---> '''Slickback:''' It's okay, Tom. We all got phobias. Some niggas can't cross bridges, you can't go upside a bitch's head.

[[folder:Butch Magnus Milosevic]]
[[quoteright:197:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/butchymagni_8469.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Daryl Sabara

A bully who antagonizes Riley in "Shinin'", by stealing a chain necklace from him. Also cameos in "The Red Ball" (as part of the Woodcrest kickball team), and "A Date With The Health Inspector" (as part of a group of other suspended students touring the prison).

* BarbaricBully: He's a big, fat, ugly brute who is known for beating down and robbing people blind.
* {{Delinquent}} / EnfanteTerrible: He's built up a well-earned reputation as this around town.
* FatBastard: His tubby physique easily protects him from little Riley's weak punches.
* {{Jerkass}}: Needless to say.
* MeaningfulName / NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His surname probably refers to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slobodan_Milosevic Slobodan Milosevic]], a late President of UsefulNotes/{{Serbia}} who was accused of committing war crimes during UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars.
* MightyGlacier: This appears to be his fighting style. He only has to land a few blows to bring Riley down, and they don't have to be particularly fast; Riley's not as good at ducking and waving as he thinks he is.
* MegatonPunch: Hence his nickname, "One-Punch Butch".
* StoutStrength: Butch can easily overpower adults; as demonstrated when he knocks down a [[HollywoodNuns Catholic school nun]], a [[DrillSergeantNasty boot camp instructor]], and Flonominal.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He's such a big troublemaker, that not even a threat of being sent to boot camp would change him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rev. Rollo Goodlove]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Cee-Lo Green

A black liberal activist who seems to be more interested in money and publicity, instead of actually advancing any causes. Appears in "The S-Word", "The Hunger Strike", and "The New Black".

* AngryBlackMan: Though he seems to be exaggerating quite a bit of that anger on purpose.
* AttentionWhore: Oh yeah.
* {{Expy}}: An unflattering lampooning of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
* FatBastard: He's not exactly a {{jerkass}}, but he's still kind of annoying to other people.
* NWordPrivileges: "The S-Word" is about Rollo helping out Robert and Riley in their attempt to sue the school district, because Riley's teacher Mr. Petto had said "nigga"; even though Riley, Robert, and Rollo all use that word casually; and Petto was simply copying Riley's words without malice, and tried to apologize afterwards.
* StrawCharacter: He's depicted as a straw liberal who launches a lot of bogus protests for money and publicity.
** StrawHypocrite: Besides the problem with his NWordPrivileges as stated above, Goodlove once helped out with Huey's protest against Creator/{{BET}}, only to end it by getting his own sitcom on that same channel.
* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: He's attracted to Ann Coulter (who in this universe, only pretends to be a right-wing firebrand).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The White Shadow]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' John C. [=McGinley=]

Huey's nickname for a federal agent who seems to be stalking him. Is he real, or imaginary? He seems to know everything about Huey. He appears in "The Real" and "It's Going Down".

* CoolShades: Being a federal government agent, the White Shadow wears a pair of sunglasses, which he claims is to imitate his idol Creator/BillCosby.
* FriendlyEnemy: He may be a creepy spy, but he's polite to Huey and offers him advice.
-->'''White Shadow:''' Just because I tape your phone conversations and monitor your emails, doesn't mean we can't be friends.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It hasn't been revealed just who or what the White Shadow actually is. Only [[ConspiracyTheorist Huey]] has seen and heard him, making him wonder if the Shadow is just a paranoid hallucination.
* TheMenInBlack: The White Shadow's job is to monitor Huey, but he has nothing to do with covering up the paranormal, though he certainly has the appearance.
* NoNameGiven: Huey just gives him the nickname "the White Shadow".
* TheSchizophreniaConspiracy: In "The Real", Huey concludes that he's either crazy, or that the government is trying to make him think he's crazy.
* SpiritAdvisor: In "It's Goin' Down", the White Shadow warned him of the imminent invasion of his home by actual federal agents, something that Huey had no idea was going to happen. This could hint that he's a real man and not an illusion.

* BigDamnHeroes: In "The Fried Chicken Flu". Even after getting kicked out of Granddad's house, Otis [[EasilyForgiven doesn't hold any grudges about this]], [[spoiler:as he still managed to come to the rescue by using his van to ram the Neighborhood Militia bus off the road when they were chasing the Freeman and [=DuBois=] families]].

* TheStoner: In "Mr. Medicinal", he recommends marijuana to Robert, and also introduces him to a marijuana dealer.

* SatelliteCharacter: He doesn't serve much of a role beyond being Thugnificent's friend.

* MyBelovedSmother: In "The Story of Thugnificent", Flonominal is extremely distressed when his mother calls to chastise him for his part in the "Eff Grandad" debacle.
* NoSuchThingAsHR: To build on Thugnificent's NiceJobBreakingItHero, there was logically nothing stopping Flo from contesting his termination due to the extremely flimsy guilty by association pretense.
* SatelliteCharacter: He doesn't serve much of a role beyond being Thugnificent's friend.

* GoodIsDumb: While he's one of the kindest characters in the show, he's not particularly bright.
-->'''Leonard:''' You know what, when I tried [a buffalo wing], I thought to myself, "This tastes like chicken," [[LiteralMinded but the fact it's a buffalo]], I was like, naw, I don't want to say it out loud 'cause y'all gonna think I'm stupid. That's why I ain't get no chicken; I just got the buffalo.

* NiceGuy
** TokenGoodTeammate: When the Lethal Injection Crew were talking about what they were going to do if their careers fail, they all talk about becoming burglars and drug dealers. Only Leonard talked about getting a paying job, which he was immediately chewed out for.
